The Harry Sisson Show - He Actually Just Destroyed It...

Episode Date: September 16, 2026

Harry Sisson breaks down Trump's latest rampage.

Donald Trump just proved once again to the American people that he is a literal man-child, the mind of a five-year-old having a temper tantrum stuck in the body of a gross and disgusting 80-year-old man. And of course, I'm talking about Donald Trump's new priority, the thing that he is laser-focused on. That's the Kennedy Center. We got some reporting the other day that Donald Trump was threatening to shut down the Kennedy Center permanently, indefinitely, unless his name was put on the building. He kind of gave him an ultimatum. Either you put my name on the building and I'll give you the funds necessary to keep it open

and all that stuff and avoid bankruptcy, or if you don't do that and you don't put my name on the building, and then it's done, it's shut down, you're cooked. And Donald Trump clearly took the other option because a judge said, hey, you're not getting your name on the building no matter how much you want it. This is something that's done by Congress. And Trump said, okay, I'm shutting it down, like the child that he is. So I'm going to walk you through the series of events that took place yesterday into today.

as well, because it is just so ridiculous. So yesterday on social media, Donald Trump posting at 1149 in the morning, the Kennedy Center is in a virtual state of collapse and has been for many years. It is not. A large piece of concrete and steel just dropped down in a thud from the ceiling of a heavily traffic main hallway. It did not. If the building were open, innocent people would have been killed. Wow, now he cares about innocent people dying, but doesn't mind when he's bombing schools in Iran or the capitals being overrun and he pardons those people. That's just interesting. a security guard had just passed the area one minute prior to the ceiling collapse. He was therefore 60 minutes, 60 seconds, excuse me, away from certain death.

The judge has made us keep it open, even though there are no performances and no people that would have the courage to even go in. I'd go in. The building's fine. There are no structural issues. There's been no report by any independent contractors who are like, yeah, the building's having structural issues. This is just Donald Trump saying it. I mean, this is so ridiculous. The board of the Kennedy Center has strongly voted to say that these are people appointed by Donald Trump, might add. and they know I'm the only one who can do so because I have the ability to raise the money and the ability to construct that few others have.

I've also the strength and power of the presidency, which will be needed to do what must be done and give it a strong shot at greatness. Remember, the Kennedy Center was losing hundreds of millions of dollars when I took it over. It was failing badly. It had nothing to do with me. I am only there to help. I just got there to reveal the facts, but especially those concerning building safety, a very hostile and conflicted judge. It seems like he won't let it happen, in which case, unfortunately, the building is destined to doom because of him. because he's shutting it down.

Isn't that too bad? We've already wasted more than six months playing around in court. Time is our enemy. The board comprised of some of the most prominent and respected people in our nation, again appointed by him, is meeting again today. It will be interesting to see what happens. Thanks for your attention to this matter. And then the judge did the right thing,

blocking his plan to add his name to the side of the building, which sent Donald Trump into a complete spiral. A federal judge blocked the JFK Center for the Performing Arts from adding Donald Trump's name below the sign on the facade of the building, ruling that the move violates a prior order to remove his name from the building. U.S. District Court Judge Christopher Cooper in a Tuesday, September 15th order, ruled that the Kennedy Center's plans to add Trump's name to the building that says, renovated and restored by Trump, cannot move forward. I wonder why Donald Trump is, like, so insistent on this, because if a Democrat were to win in 2028,

fingers crossed, then we're just going to tear it down. I mean, if you can put it up, we're going to tear it down. There will be no reference, no mention to Donald Trump in. D.C. after he leaves office, if God willing, and I'm not even religious, a Democrat takes office. Simply put, defendants cannot install memorials for Donald Trump or anyone or anything else at the Kennedy Center without Congress's blessing. Cooper and appointee of Barack Obama wrote in this order. The board resolution bucks a federal court order and a statute Congress enacted. So this judge is actually following the law.

No surprise there. Donald Trump is not. He is trying to illegally go around Congress, go around the law, Go around a federal court order and put his name on the building anyway. So Donald Trump did what any rational person would do, what any normal person would do. Isn't that right? He shut down the building. He shut down. Don't you wish you could just hit skip on the worst parts of your life?

You know the same way you can skip an ad. I get it. I'm Siaia and I live in Ice Cove. I've made some questionable decisions that didn't end up the way I planned. And today I'm still figuring it out. Somehow things usually get worse before they get. get better. Apparently, that's how I roll. So bundle up and come along for the bumpy ride.

I mean, this is absurd. I mean, this is absurd. He put out this rant on social media saying the board of the Kennedy Center today agreed almost unanimously to close the building for safety reasons and so that it can begin the process of reconstruction. The closing will take place immediately. However, the renovation and reconstruction, which is a very large and complex job, cannot begin until such time as the D.C. Circuit rules on the board's approved name, his name, on the building. If the ruling is a negative one, which it should not be, and it is not overturned by the Supreme Court, the reconstruction and the renovation of the Kennedy Center will not take place. The attorneys from the DOJ will ask for an expedited appeal.

In the meantime, $17 million raised by Trump has been put into the Kennedy Center account to keep it afloat. Thanks for your attention to this matter. So the building right now is shut down because of Donald Trump, because he can't put his name on a building. Now, two things. That is one of the most childish and insecure things I've ever seen, not just in politics, but I think in life. What, you can't have your name on a building so you're throwing a temper tantrum? What a complete and total loser.

But Barack Obama made a really good point about this with Donald Trump trying to put his face everywhere and his name on buildings. And this was during a speech he gave a while ago. And this is not verbatim, but he said something along the lines of, you know, these old leaders, these old men around the world who are so terrified. of their own demise. They want to keep their legacy alive by putting their name on buildings, by enacting statues and things like that.

And it's just pathetic. These old men who cannot possibly comprehend that they won't be around forever and that they don't want to be forgotten. And they want people to remember them positively. And so they do stuff like this. Notice how people like Joe Biden and Barack Obama or the Clintons or any, you name it. None of these Democrats are doing stuff like that. But it is Donald Trump.

It is Donald Trump who's the one that's doing stuff like that. you know, it just feels like, to me, that there might be more important issues taking place around the world. Like, for example, a fourth measles death has been reported in Pennsylvania because, you know, RFK Jr. couldn't care less about actual health. He wants to push his quack health, his quack medicine, who, by the way, not a doctor, has no idea what the hell he's talking about. The Iran war is still raging on. It's hit $38 billion and forecast to rise to $3 billion a month. That is a conservative analysis by the Congress. budget office. Others have it in the $100 billion range already. So a very, very expensive thing,

a very expensive war. We also have that the Federal Reserve is likely to raise interest rates as inflation persists. Inflation remains stubborn. It is still a thing that Americans are dealing with every single day. The Federal Reserve wants to get it down. They want to raise rates to reduce that inflation rate, to reduce borrowing and things like that. And Donald Trump is, of course, going to target them and say, oh, they're trying to interfere with the midterms. But this is in line with what the Federal Reserve has done historically, and they're doing it because inflation remains unnecessarily high. It remains unnecessarily high because of Donald Trump and his economic policies and war and tariffs and all that, things like that. And Trump himself is spiraling in the polls.

This is CNN. Trump's approval, 68% disapprove, 52% of people strongly disapprove. That's staggering. That's a serious headwind for Republicans as we approach the midterm elections. Yeah. I mean, they have to overcome some pretty insurmountable numbers. And this is, not to say that a win is guaranteed for Democrats because it is most certainly not. We know that Donald Trump and the Republicans are trying to pull some funny business right now with the elections. They're losing in court, but who knows what they do on election day and the days after? So you got to vote, vote, vote. You got to get out there and make your voices heard. There is no such thing as a guaranteed victory ever in anything, especially not in elections

when you have Donald Trump up there who is willing to do whatever it takes to stay in power, even if people didn't vote for them. But, you know, it's a pretty bad thing. Meanwhile, are actually doing good stuff. We're focusing on policy. Like, for example, Governor Bashir in Kentucky is going to relieve more than $250 million in medical debt for more than 130,000 people in Kentucky. That sounds like America first, doesn't it? Sounds like putting Americans first.

It sounds like focusing on making people's lives better. You know, not maybe the Kennedy Center. Or, you know, he's not focused on building a statue for himself in Louisville, Kentucky. You know, he's focused on making people's lives better. Or what about Tim Walls, signing a bill and. Minnesota to transition the state to 100% clean energy by 2040, making the state healthier and the country healthier. Sounds like good stuff to me.

But of course, Donald Trump, no, he's focused on the really important issues, which is his name on the Kennedy Center. It's pathetic. So look, I will leave the video there.
