So, we're at the Kennedy Center, needs a lot of work. We're going to fix it and make it beautiful. It's a very big part of the fabric of DC and the Capitol. We're bringing back the Capitol. We're bringing back our country. But while we're here, I thought it would be appropriate. We are, tomorrow, announcing and giving all of the Kennedy files.
So, people have been waiting for decades for this, and I've instructed my people that are responsible, lots of different people put together by Tulsi Gabbard. And that's going to be released tomorrow. We have a tremendous amount of paper. You've got a lot of reading. I don't believe we're going to redact anything.
I said, "Just don't redact, you can't redact." But we're going to be releasing the JFK files. And that would be tomorrow. Do you have anything else to add to that, Carolyn?
That's it, sir.
So, that's a big announcement. They've been waiting for that for decades. Then, I said during the campaign I'd do it, and I'm a man of my word. So, tomorrow, you have the JFK files. What time will they be released?
Tomorrow afternoon, sir.
Tomorrow afternoon. OK.
Have you seen -- have you seen what's in the files? Have you read them?
I've heard about them.
Was there -- Anything interesting?
It's going to be very interesting.
Was there an executive summary supplied to you, Mr. President --
No, we -- I'm not doing summaries. You'll write your own summaries. It's many pages. Is it 80,000 pages? Approximately 80,000 pages. So, it's a lot of stuff.
Mr. President --
And you'll make your own determination.
You have criticized President Biden for using autopen in the last few days. Have you yourself ever used autopen, sir?
Yeah, only for very unimportant papers. And I don't call them unimportant, if you do letters where people write in and, you know, they'd love to have a response, and we'll write responses. And I'll sign them and whenever I can. But when I can't, I, you know, would use an autopen. But to use them for -- for what they've used them for is terrible.
And, sir, and when you signed the CR --
Who are you -- who are you with?
Sir, I'm with NBC News. When you signed --
That's the same -- the same one. I don't want -- I don't want to talk to NBC anymore. I think you're so discredited.
Mr. President, Mr. President --
Go ahead.
When most people think of the Kennedy Center, they think of the Kennedy Center Honors, takes place in December every year. Is that something that you anticipate hosting --
Yeah.
At the White House? And what do you think that --
We're going to have honors. We're going to have -- I think it's going to be a much bigger show than it has been in the past. It got tired, very tired, very tired, very boring, very radical left. Unless you are a radical left, it just seemed that nobody was chosen. There were a lot of people out there that can get the honors, and we're going to do it. I think we'll have a very big show.
It's going to be a very big show. We have some surprises on that show, some big surprises. But I think it has a chance to be a very big show. That's a big part of the Kennedy Center, the honors, that evening. And so, I think you're going to be really surprised. I think it's going to get great ratings, actually.
Mr. President -- President Trump, there'd been some discussion about potentially meeting with Putin in your administration. If there is a peace deal signed, would you consider -- would you be open to inviting Putin to the White House?
Well, I don't want to really even discuss it. I got to get the deal. I've got to get the deal signed. Two thousand people a week sometimes are killed, and we have to get that agreement signed. But that's the only thing I think about.
Are you confident that that could happen tomorrow, as soon as tomorrow?
We're going to have a very important call. You know, we've had calls, but we're getting down to a very critical stage, and we want to get the whole Russia-Ukraine thing done. And I think Ukraine wants it, I know they want it. Everybody wants it. It's tremendous death. The bloodshed is unbelievable like few people have ever seen before.
On the drug cartels, do you have a red line for the drug cartels that, if crossed, it would automatically trigger a military response from the US?
Well, we'll see, but we're not going to put up with it. This country is not going to allow people to come in and dump drugs and kill our youth and -- and other than our youth, too. Older people are very much affected. So it's -- we're not going to let that happen. Thank you very much.
Thank you, press. Thank you, guys.
On the 30-day ceasefire, Mr. President, is -- Ukraine's already committed to this. Would Russia commit to this as well, Mr. President?
Thank you, sir.
They would.
Thank you, sir.
