Ex-Kennedy Center staffer alleges cronyism under Trump

Season 2026 Episode 81 | 8m 17s

Unless courts intervene, the Kennedy Center will shut down this July for two years, as part of a roughly $250 million renovation. In the lead-up, there’s been a wave of layoffs and a controversial rebranding by President Trump’s allies. Josef Palermo was among those laid off and wrote “What I Saw Inside the Kennedy Center” for The Atlantic. Palermo joined Geoff Bennett to discuss more.
