00:00The Press Secretary just posted on X, your press secretary, that the board members of the Kennedy Center
00:05voted unanimously to rename it the Trump Kennedy Center. What is your reaction to that?
00:10Well, I was honored by it. The board is a very distinguished board, most distinguished people in the country.
00:15And I was surprised by it. I was honored by it. You know, we're saving the building.
00:20We saved the building. The building was in such bad shape, both physically, financially, and every other way.
00:25And now it's very solid, very strong. We have something going on television, I guess, on the 23rd, December.
00:33I think it's going to get very big ratings. And the Kennedy Center is really, really back strongly.
00:40It's a very bad shape, very, very bad shape physically.
00:44And we were also to get Congress to put up a lot of money and other people to put up a lot of money.
00:50We had a lot of donors come in for record-setting numbers. So we saved the Kennedy Center.
00:55And I was really — this was brought up by one of the very distinguished board members, and they voted on it.
01:02And there's a lot of board members, and they voted unanimously. So I was very honored by it. Thank you.
01:07The Press Press, Mr. President, will you be seeking any authorization from Congress for any land attacks on cartels in Venezuela?
01:13The President for any what?
01:15The Press Press, for any land attacks on drug cartels in Venezuela?
01:17The President I wouldn't mind telling them, but, you know, it's not a big deal.
01:20I don't have to tell them. It's been proven. But it wouldn't — I wouldn't mind at all.
01:25I just hope they wouldn't leak it. You know, you have people leak it.
01:29They are politicians, and they leak like a sieve. But I'd have no problem doing that.
01:35On that, Mr. President. Mr. President.
01:37The Press Press, please.
01:38The Press Press, Mr. President, there's a meeting this weekend on Ukraine in Florida.
01:42What are you hoping will come out of that meeting?
01:44Well, they're getting close to something, but I hope Ukraine moves quickly.
01:48I hope Ukraine moves quickly, because Russia's there.
01:51And, you know, every time they take too much time, then Russia changes their mind.
01:57Twenty-seven thousand soldiers were killed last month. Think of that.
02:02What do you think of that, doctors? Twenty-seven thousand — it's like a half a football stadium — were killed in one month.
02:09And it's — it's that way. It's anywhere between twenty and thirty thousand — mostly soldiers.
02:15Also, some people from Kiev and other places. But largely, it's the soldiers.
02:21They're losing their lives. Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
02:24It's the worst since World War II. And, you know, you've heard me say, I settled eight wars,
02:31some going on for thirty-five years, one going on for thirty-seven, one going on for thirty-two.
02:36One going on for thirty-four years?
02:41Three, two.
02:43Three, three, two.
02:46Three, two.
02:49The first thing about Ukraine?
02:52One, two, three, three.
02:54Well, the second thing about Ukraine—
02:58Three, two, three, two.
03:00The first thing about Ukraine—
