Hello, everyone. This is JVL here with my bulwark colleague, Catherine Rampel, and as we are sitting down to talk to you, the people, agents of the state are adding Donald Trump's name to the Kennedy Center building.

They are up there on a scaffolding on the facade, changing the name to the Donald J. Trump-Hyph. John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Arts or something.

Catherine, I know we shouldn't be surprised that he liked to move on this so fast, but it did just happen like 12 hours ago.

Yes, but he has been teasing it for weeks, months.

I don't know.

He clearly very desperately wants this great cultural institution named for him.

You know, I'm sure he's shocked that the board decided to do so.

Unanimously. I saw, I don't know if you noticed that the board decided to do so, even though... Unanimously.

I saw...

I don't know if you noticed that the vote was unanimous.

Board members of the Kennedy Center voted unanimously to rename it the Trump Kennedy Center.

What's your reaction to that?

Well, I was honored by it.

The board is a very distinguished board, most distinguished people in the country.

And I was surprised by it.

I was honored by it. Well, sort of. There was one participant, a lawmaker who I believe was on the board,

who said that her line was muted. So she was not allowed to vote against it. So this is like

North Korea unanimous. Yes, exactly. Exactly. Excellent.

But yes, he's been wanting this for a long time. And of course, his press secretary had to

weigh in and congratulate him. Caroline Levitt wrote on X, a note of congratulations saying that

she has just been informed that the highly respected board of the Kennedy Center has decided to rename it after him.

And at one point she says, congratulations to President Donald J. Trump.
