We are back now with the growing fallout involving the Kennedy Center and President Trump's push
00:04
to leave his mark on that cultural institution. You've got more artists now pulling out of
00:09
scheduled events, including the Cookers. They're a jazz band. They were set to perform a couple
00:13
of concerts on New Year's Eve, but they've now joined a growing list of artists backing out.
00:18
That latest wave coming after the Trump-appointed board voted unanimously to rename the center
00:23
the Donald J. Trump and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts,
00:28
as you see there. The president's name added to the building earlier this month.
00:32
I want to bring in our White House correspondent, Yamiche Alcindor, who's joining us now. Okay,
00:35
Yamiche, this has been a thing that has been building for a bit now. Let's start with the
00:40
latest and the Cookers, this jazz group. What are they saying about this decision to back out?
00:45
Well, interestingly, this group, the Cookers, they're not saying in particular that this is
00:50
tied to the name change of the building, but they're essentially saying that the atmosphere
00:54
has been one that they don't want to perform in. I want to read to you part of their statement.
00:57
They say jazz was born from struggle and from a relentless consensus on freedom, freedom of
01:03
thought, of expression, and of the full human voice. Some of us have been making this music
01:08
for many decades, and that history still shapes us. They go on to say our hope is that this moment
01:12
will leave space for reflection, not resentment. So again, not specifically saying that the
01:17
president's actions are what's causing them to cancel these concerts, but essentially hinting at
01:21
that, Hallie. And Yamiche, it's not just the Cookers, right? I mean, you look at,
01:25
I think there's a run at Hamilton, for example, that ended up getting 86'd basically by them.
01:32
And when you look at the bigger picture, the Kennedy Center has typically and traditionally,
01:36
as you well know, having lived and covered D.C. for so long, been pretty nonpartisan.
01:40
That's right. Even though President Trump, when you ask him, he would say that the Kennedy Center
01:44
was sort of biased against conservatives. But for the most part, people have said that this is a
01:49
nonpartisan performing arts center that welcomed all sorts of performances.
01:53
But the president essentially was saying that the building was getting too liberal and was
01:58
too welcoming, essentially, to performances and people that he didn't agree with. And now we've
02:03
seen this fallout. We've seen ticket sales go down. We've seen people canceling performances. We've
02:08
also seen people just simply uncomfortable with the building. And let's remember that this renaming
02:11
really is the renaming of a memorial. This isn't just sort of the Capitol Arena, which is where sports
02:17
teams play. This is a memorial that was dedicated to John F. Kennedy Jr., someone who, of course,
02:23
was killed while serving our country, murdered while serving our country. So the Kennedy family
02:28
has been very outspoken, very angry about this. And you now see these artists that are either hinting
02:32
or full on saying that they don't want to be in this space because of President Trump.
02:36
And what about this, some of the stuff that's happened with the website, the newly renamed for the
02:40
newly renamed center?
02:41
Well, Hallie, of course, it's a little bit of a troll here. This South Park, this former South
02:47
Park writer, because the president had been talking and hinting at the idea that he might rename the
02:52
Performing Arts Center, this person actually purchased both TrumpKennedyCenter.org and
02:57
TrumpKennedyCenter.com. So there's literally a comedian that owns these websites, so they can't
03:03
change the name of the website right now, at least not into those two. And then if we can show
03:07
people the homepage of TrumpKennedyCenter.org, if you look up there, there's the red and there's
03:12
all this. And it maybe kind of looks like a regular website. But when you scroll down,
03:16
the website says the next events at the Trump Kennedy Center are to ring in the new year with
03:20
a performance by the, quote, Epstein dancers. That, of course, being a reference to the late
03:25
convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who, of course, has had a lot of controversy. The president
03:29
has been tied to him just as a friend. He has not been charged with any wrongdoing. He has been
03:34
accused of any wrongdoing. But the fact that the Epstein files are something that's mentioned on
03:38
this website really is just trolling President Trump. So it really is, in some ways, a reminder
03:43
that as this was all building, there were people that were very much against this that were making
03:48
their own kind of moves. Hallie. Yamiche, thank you very much for that reporting. Appreciate that.
03:53
We thank you for watching. And remember, stay updated on breaking news and top stories on the
