Smithsonian Institution

But now he may tear it down.

And now, you know, there is a Washington Post story that just popped up as we are beginning our podcast, that they are going ahead with putting up signs in front of the Smithsonian Institution saying that the exhibits within the institution contain political bias and may not be accurate.

Why? Because they talk about things like slavery.

They talk about things like, um, you know, genocide against the Indians.

They talk about the things that really happened in American history.

Um, but when you look at this, you know, you look at what he's doing at the Kennedy Center, what he's doing at the Smithsonian, what he's doing at the White House, where he literally...

I mean, if you saw the drone shots earlier in the week, he is building an addition to the White House that is going to tower over the White House, dominate the White House, is twice as big in terms of number of square feet, 90,000 versus 45,000 square feet than the White House, and he did it illegally.

He's building an arch.

But now he may tear it down.

I mean, I've-- you saw the drone shots earlier in the week.

He is building an addition to the White House that is going to tower over the White House, dominate the White House, is twice as big in terms of number of square feet, ninety thousand versus forty-five thousand square feet than the White House, and he did it illegally.

I had no idea that my, uh, dad was on a, the Bluegrass album with some guy named Billy Ed Wheeler.

Didn't somebody send us a note that in the Smithsonian there is a-

Well, every s- every s- album that's ever been listed is on the Smithsonian register.

Okay.

But this one is as well.

[laughs] He's just trying to move on.

This one might be in the Smithsonian.

The Dolpins? You mean [laughs] the Dolpins?

[laughs]

The Dolpins.

How's it going? I like that.

Uh, this is in the Smithsonian of, uh, of words pronounced though.

You're welcome.

So that's two things Mamdani can't stand.

Now, these left-wing kooks are all up in arms because, you know, the Smithsonian Institute and a number of museums have just gone so far to the left that that they're just turning their museums into ridiculous showcases of nonsense, and they're eliminating all the American history out of them.

The Smithsonian Institute, that's the whole purpose, American history.

They're eliminating most of it.

And if you walk up to the Smithsonian from the street, what is in front of it? This enormous sculpture.

Nobody knows what the hell it is.

It's a ridiculous-looking sculpture.

Send it to the Museum of Modern Art right over there, down the block.

I'm going to be talking about illegal, misguided deportations.

I'm going to be talking about the threat against black studies and the besmirching of the name of the Smithsonian.

Buckle up.

We're getting ready to ride.

If you lose power, what should you do? Where should you go? Where is safe? What are the staples you need to have in your home? I want you to press that subscribe button.

I'm going to be giving it to you first as soon as it is that I have it published.

One of the most beautiful and seminal places that you have to go if you ever visit Washington, D.C., is the National African-American Smithsonian Museum.

It is absolutely exhilarating to see the proud contributions of our people in this country, the strides that we've made, the contributions that we've made.

And grandson or granddaughter, I think it was a grandson that found it.

And either way, somehow the Smithsonian finds out about it.

They're like, can we buy that from you? And they're like, okay.

So they sell to the Smithsonian when the Smithsonian... smithsonian gets it they put it on display there was a congressman in the late 1800s i'm gonna say like 1890 something and he saw to the smithsonian and said you know the problem right now we have in congress is we don't have enough christians that actually study or live like jesus like they don't study the teachings of jesus and he's like what if we brought in like said hey let's take what jefferson did jefferson studied the moral teachings of jesus every night before went to bed we could reprint that we will give it to every freshman congressman that comes to congress and and we will encourage them study the teachings of jesus just like jefferson did so the very first time it was printed it was 1904. it still was not called the jefferson bible when it was printed it was called the life and moral teachings of jesus but when it was distributed they're like what is this and somebody's like that's that's the the jefferson bible it got the name the jefferson bible not because jefferson had gone through and cut out everything he didn't believe in but rather that was the easiest way to explain the abbreviation of what it was it was actually an abbreviation of the four gospels with the major moral teachings of jesus from the four gospels so when when people say well he cut out all the miracles and all the supernatural i always challenge people have you read it and they're always like no and i'm like i have several times and what i can tell you is it is true a lot of the miracles and a lot of the supernatural is not in there including by the way the resurrection of jesus isn't in there and that's a different conversation because jefferson had questions to some extent about that again different conversation but what is also incorrect is that he cut out all of the miracles and in all of the supernatural because in it it does mention angels demons heaven hell and miracles So when people are like, well, it doesn't have any of that.

Actually, it does.

Again, I don't disagree that Jefferson cut things out.

the possibilities are endless when you have an open mind.

And for you, now you're bringing this, and when I first heard this, I was like, this should be at the Smithsonian, not the State Fair.

But if the Smithsonian is not even willing to look at it, you have to get it where you can get it.

And the State Fair has a long history of showcasing the absurd and new discoveries and things like that.

So at first I was kind of like, oh, that doesn't help his cause.

And grandson or granddaughter, I think it was a grandson that found it.

And either way, somehow the Smithsonian finds out about it.

They're like, can we buy that from you? And they're like, okay.
