In short, without appropriate recognition, the Kennedy Center will be
back where it was at the beginning-a financially insolvent facility and a
decrepit, dilapidated, crumbling building, that is bleeding hundreds of millions of dollars in losses and that continues to race toward physical and financial ruin.
The stakes are existential.

Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten.
