So everyone was out there on the patio.

And this was kind of a solemn service honoring Charlie.

But at the same time, there was a little bit of a celebratory aspect.

And it's supposed to pump people up a little bit, make them

make them happy to remember their friend.

And so all the press is gathered at the back listening and we've got like ABBA, Dancing Queen.

We had, of course, God Bless the USA.

We have all the classic Trump tunes playing over the loudspeakers and the Rose Garden.

And you'll see too, you know, pictures of an empty Rose Garden with the speakers on and

trump sticking his head out of the oval office and like enjoying it he's just he loves his music he's a big fan of phantom he loves les mis i think that was the first uh the first show at the kennedy center this year uh and you know he's just he's a man of the arts he likes it he likes the music so everyone's used to hearing at this point

Yeah, no, I mean, I'm not surprised, frankly, Haley, because a lot of these journalists who are going to the Kennedy Center now are specifically going in order to find an issue with it.

They don't like that the president and a lot of Trump administration officials are so interested and engaged with the Kennedy Center.

They would far prefer that it was in the hands of more far left leaning activist types, very artsy types.

And they don't really like Rick Grinnell, who's heading up a lot of the changes over there.

So they go in looking for things to be nitpicky about.

For my part, I have been there.

I actually went and saw The Sound of Music there a couple months ago.

It was so fun.

Phenomenal performance.

The Sound of Music itself, you know, it's one of my favorite movies.
