Yesterday, Trump Kennedy Center President Richard Grenell sat down with Katie Pavlich for a deep dive on the historic improvements happening at the nation's center for the performing arts.

"I had a conversation once with Charlie where we talked about the danger we both faced from challenging entrenched interests. He asked me if I was scared to die. I said, there are a lot worse things than dying... Charlie gave his life so the rest of us wouldn’t have to suffer those fates worse than death. Now it’s our job. He’s no longer here to lead us, to rush in and fill the breach and win this battle for our country, for God, and for our families." - United States Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

"You don't get to boycott taxpayers and still try to claim some moral high ground. You don't get to sneer at the people who fund your stage and then call that some type of integrity. And you don't get to demand ideological ownership of a building that belongs to the entire nation. The Trump Kennedy Center belongs to the American people." T.W. Shannon's monologue about President Trump and Ambassador Richard Grenell's reinvention of the Trump Kennedy Center from a "private club for elites" to a place for everybody.

Trump Kennedy Center President Richard Grenell talks the "one simple change" made to programming under his leadership. "We made one simple change: We said that all programming must get to revenue-neutral. You're not going to get there from just ticket sales. You've got to bring in corporate America and donors. The only way to bring in corporate America is to make sure that the programming is for everyone, that it's not woke and crazy left."

"Charlie had a shirt when he was taken from us. Do you remember what it said? Freedom. We can’t have freedom without faith. And I believe that Charlie will live an even bigger life after Wednesday than he would have before Wednesday. I hate to say that because I miss him. But God is using him in such powerful ways. Charlie is not dead. He has everlasting life." - Acting CEO for the U.S. Agency for Global Media, Kari Lake
