Lutnick also addressed the closure of the Kennedy Center's main building, citing structural safety concerns and a $257 million restoration plan funded through the "one big beautiful bill." He discussed the collapse of US-Canada trade talks, attributing the breakdown to Canadian political considerations, and spoke about the promised $5,000 checks to Americans, saying they would be funded through non-tax revenue sources such as the Trump Platinum Card program. On September 11, Lutnick shared personal reflections on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, recounting the loss of his brother and colleagues at Cantor Fitzgerald.
