Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: Trump says Smithsonian should portray America's brightness, not how bad
- 0:09Speaker 1: slavery was. So this is the headline from ABC News.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Trump confirmed White House lawyers will go through the museums.
- 0:17Speaker 1: So I wonder if they're going to mention this. This
- 0:21Speaker 1: is an article from Newsweek from July seventeenth, twenty twenty.
- 0:26Speaker 1: In Smithsonian, race guidelines, rational thinking, and hard work are
- 0:31Speaker 1: white values. White values. So this is the Smithsonian. So
- 0:36Speaker 1: Trump wants to dewokeify the Smithsonian. I wonder if this
- 0:42Speaker 1: is one of the reasons here. Let's see, let's take
- 0:45Speaker 1: a look at this this thing that they put out
- 0:47Speaker 1: talking about race aspects and assumptions of whiteness and white
- 0:52Speaker 1: culture in the United States. I've shown this to you
- 0:55Speaker 1: guys a bunch of times. But rugged individualism, the individual
- 0:59Speaker 1: is primary unit, self reliance. Oh, whiteness, evil whiteness, independence
- 1:05Speaker 1: and autonomy highly value plus rewarded. Wait a second, aren't
- 1:09Speaker 1: these things that are like that happen in a healthy society,
- 1:12Speaker 1: a well functioning society. Huh? Nuclear family, father, mother, two
- 1:18Speaker 1: point three children is the ideal of social unit. No,
- 1:21Speaker 1: it's whiteness. Whiteness. White people invented the nuclear family. Didn't
- 1:27Speaker 1: you know one thing's amazing with this is just how
- 1:30Speaker 1: actually racist it is. But how how insulting is this?
- 1:35Speaker 1: It's it's actually genuinely racist to say that, you know,
- 1:39Speaker 1: like if you're self reliant, you're doing something wrong. You're
- 1:43Speaker 1: doing whiteness. The nuclear family. I mean, are we supposed
- 1:49Speaker 1: to believe that white people invented the nuclear family? Honestly?
- 1:53Speaker 1: How insulting and strange is this? Just weird? Let's see,
- 2:00Speaker 1: is this on scientific method, objective, rational, linear thinking? That's
- 2:04Speaker 1: something only white people would do cause and effect relationships.
- 2:09Speaker 1: I mean, come on, this is lunacy, total and utter lunacy.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Hard work is the key to success. It is like
- 2:18Speaker 1: every successful person anywhere in the world knows this work
- 2:22Speaker 1: before play. So not being lazy as whiteness, whiteness truly bizarre. So,
- 2:29Speaker 1: but apparently Trump wants to portray your America's brightness, which
- 2:33Speaker 1: why would that be a bad thing? And not how
- 2:36Speaker 1: bad slavery was, So maybe just not obsessing on the
- 2:40Speaker 1: one thing that fraud thing happens all over the world anyway,
- 2:45Speaker 1: Like everywhere in the world there was slavery, and they
- 2:48Speaker 1: ended it. In the United States, they ended it, which
- 2:52Speaker 1: is an important point which they'd never seemed to comment on.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Let's see, and the statement from the Smithsonian goes on
- 2:59Speaker 2: to say that the Smithsonian's work is grounded in a
- 3:01Speaker 2: deep commitment to scholarly accidents, rigorous research, and the accurate,
- 3:06Speaker 2: factual presentation of history. Our next guest is deeply familiar
- 3:10Speaker 2: with the administration of museums. Historian and retired professor of
- 3:14Speaker 2: museum studies Marjorie Schwarzer joins us. Now, Marjorie, it is
- 3:18Speaker 2: good to see you. Thank you so much for spending
- 3:20Speaker 2: your night with us here. So I understand you've read
- 3:23Speaker 2: the directive from the White House right now, what's your
- 3:25Speaker 2: reaction to what the Trump administration is requesting from these
- 3:28Speaker 2: eight Smithsonian museums.
- 3:30Speaker 3: So thank you so much, Gill. I've actually read it
- 3:33Speaker 3: several times, and it's very clear that whoever wrote it
- 3:38Speaker 3: really doesn't understand museums. Doesn't know how they work, doesn't
- 3:42Speaker 3: know how they operate, doesn't know how exhibitions are developed.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Shut up, Commie, Tommy gets nothing. Tell me about how
- 3:53Speaker 1: white people invented the nuclear family and how that's why
- 3:56Speaker 1: tonics and how objective rational linear thinking and cause and
- 4:01Speaker 1: effect relationships are wardness and there's no problem to any
- 4:06Speaker 1: of this whatsoever. I'm sorry when the Smithsonian is putting
- 4:10Speaker 1: out this garbage, this race communist garbage, I'm sorry, you
- 4:16Speaker 1: get what's coming. Somebody is going to take somebody should
- 4:19Speaker 1: take a look at it and say, we need to
- 4:21Speaker 1: reevaluate the leadership here, We need to reevaluate what this
- 4:26Speaker 1: institution's priorities are. Perhaps because you did this, the Smithsonian
- 4:34Speaker 1: did this, Okay, there's no denying it. It's not just
- 4:37Speaker 1: my opinion. This is real. So when you do this, okay, yes,
- 4:42Speaker 1: I'm afraid you've kind of lost your You've lost your
- 4:46Speaker 1: privilege to play innocent. I'm sorry. You're guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty,
- 4:54Speaker 1: and you do deserve to be looked at. You do
- 4:57Speaker 1: deserve Like what did Trump say here said the Smithsonian
- 5:01Speaker 1: is out of control. Where everything discussed is how horrible
- 5:04Speaker 1: our country is, how bad slavery was, and how unaccomplished
- 5:08Speaker 1: the downtrodden have been. Nothing about success, nothing about brightness,
- 5:12Speaker 1: nothing about the future. Yes, these are things you should
- 5:15Speaker 1: talk about in the United States, the most remarkable country
- 5:19Speaker 1: that has ever existed. Yes, there are stains on it,
- 5:22Speaker 1: but the United States has corrected those mistakes. It has
- 5:26Speaker 1: done its best to correct those mistakes. And again, it's
- 5:30Speaker 1: the most remarkable country that's ever existed. Okay, and we're
- 5:34Speaker 1: talking about for human well being here, for opportunity, for freedom,
- 5:39Speaker 1: for rights, for individual rights, for free speech. That's not
- 5:44Speaker 1: up for debate. That's just an accurate description of the
- 5:48Speaker 1: country and its history. And by the way, can we
- 5:52Speaker 1: exercise just a little bit of perspective, take a look around,
- 5:57Speaker 1: take a look around the rest of the world. Okay,
- 6:00Speaker 1: that matters, because when you say that the United States
- 6:03Speaker 1: is just bad and blah blah blah, you have to
- 6:06Speaker 1: also ask the question, compared to what Trump said, we
- 6:11Speaker 1: are not going to allow this to happen. And I've
- 6:13Speaker 1: instructed my attorneys to go through the museums and start
- 6:17Speaker 1: the exact same process that has been done with colleges
- 6:20Speaker 1: and universities, where tremendous progress has been made. The country
- 6:25Speaker 1: cannot be woke because woke is broke. Everything woke turns
- 6:30Speaker 1: to shit. We have the hottest country in the world,
- 6:33Speaker 1: and we want people to talk about it, including in
- 6:36Speaker 1: our museums. So again, I'm sorry when you have this
- 6:41Speaker 1: aspects and assumptions of whiteness out a white culture in
- 6:44Speaker 1: the United States, pretending that the nuclear family is somehow
- 6:50Speaker 1: racist because white people and you know, rational linear think
- 6:55Speaker 1: it cause and effect relationships, These are all racist. Somehow,
- 6:58Speaker 1: there are there's white things that thinking hard work is
- 7:01Speaker 1: the key to success, somehow obviously racist because of white,
- 7:06Speaker 1: white culture and whiteness. You've lost your right to complain.
- 7:11Speaker 1: You don't get to complain anymore. Right, Your mess needs
- 7:15Speaker 1: to be cleaned up. The Trump administration is going to
- 7:18Speaker 1: clean it up, as they should. Taxpayers should not pay
- 7:23Speaker 1: for the vandalism of their own country and their own culture.
- 7:27Speaker 1: End of story. Anyway, that's all I'm going to say
- 7:31Speaker 1: about that. Please like, share, and subscribe. Subscribing really helps
- 7:34Speaker 1: me out. I thank you for that. I will see
- 7:37Speaker 1: you next time.
