Chris HayesHOST
A fantastic New York Times investigation this week reveals how Trump and his cronies have already made the art center a tribute to him as audiences and donors have fled.
Chris HayesHOST
The Times says the center's first Trump-appointed director, Richard Grenell, pursued a plan to replace works in the center's art collection, including gifts from foreign nations honoring Kennedy, with art selected by Trump patrons.
Chris HayesHOST
"You can definitely start sending stuff back to the countries who donated now," Grenell said in an email to Joseph Palermo, a curator he hired.
Chris HayesHOST
"Figure out everything you don't want.

Katty KayHOST
He makes it all his lackeys.
Katty KayHOST
Rick Grenell, his very pugilistic former ambassador to Germany, takes over running the Kennedy Center with Trump as chairman of the board, and suddenly all of the acts pull out.
Katty KayHOST
They don't want to perform there.
Katty KayHOST
They, they have the prospect of no seats, no performances.
Anthony ScaramucciHOST
... which is why it was gonna be the Trump Kennedy Center.
Anthony ScaramucciHOST
And so he underestimated the amount of cultural hate he was gonna get there because he's getting pumped.
Anthony ScaramucciHOST
You know, Rick Grenell, put him in charge.
Anthony ScaramucciHOST
He's gonna pump you, you know.
Heather Cox RichardsonHOST
The generally held view, a former U.S. official told Filkins, is that Russia has offered administration officials and their allies business deals in exchange for their supporting Russian demands against Ukraine.
Heather Cox RichardsonHOST
A classified report a European intelligence agency provided to Filkins lists Trump, his son-in-law Jared Kushner, special envoy Steve Witkoff, former envoy Richard Grenell, and Gentry Beach as people who might participate in any of 10 money-making ventures on the table.
Heather Cox RichardsonHOST
The world and the place of the United States in it is changing fast.
Heather Cox RichardsonHOST
In June, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called it shameful that European allies did not help the U.S. attack on Iran and said the U.S. would review its military commitments to Europe.
Todd JeffriesHOST
And not knowing the facts of the story.
Todd JeffriesHOST
And in fact, Richard Grenell on X, you know, formerly the Trump administration, says it's truly unbelievable that the chief of police in Austin, the mayor of Austin, and the congressman Gregorio Casar from Austin are all racing to a camera and a microphone before knowing any of the details as to what happened.
Todd JeffriesHOST
They're calling for the removal of ICE without knowing any details.
Todd JeffriesHOST
It's totally irresponsible.

Will Haynes is in studio.
Francisco MonaldiGUEST
I mean, the reputational cost of the way in which the government of Venezuela basically reneged on everybody, contractors, partners, creditors.
Francisco MonaldiGUEST
And the fact that the same people are still there, even though it's true that Delcy Rodriguez was trying to open the oil sector, After U.S. sanctions, particularly during the Biden era, trying to negotiate a deal with the U.S. And also during the first part of the Trump administration with Rick Grenell going to Venezuela and trying to make a deal.
Francisco MonaldiGUEST
So they were trying.
Francisco MonaldiGUEST
By the way, it was crazy because they weren't doing it.
Sam SteinPANELIST
It's, uh, an egomaniac, uh, in control of power.
Sam SteinPANELIST
It's kind of a microcosm of the Trump experience because, look, the, it, whether you think the Kennedy Center was doing great or not prior to Trump, it's undoubtedly true that when he took over, when he put this Trump-appointed board in place, when he put his own henchman Rick Grenell in charge of the programming, ticket sales plummeted.
Sam SteinPANELIST
Uh, he made it actively worse.
Sam SteinPANELIST
He made the finances of the institution actively worse.
Logan SekulowHOST
We do have some news out of California.
Logan SekulowHOST
And you always know who we're gonna turn to for that, and that's our friend Rick Grenell, because Gavin Newsom made some very interesting statements about a 2028 run and what that could look like.
Logan SekulowHOST
Is he starting to backpedal? Does he see his support imploding and now is giving reason to do so? Let's chat that out a little bit later.
