Folks, on the enemies list this week is our all-time returning favorite Donald J. Trump.

And his attack on the Smithsonian Museum and the history of slavery in America.

So I'm recording this on Wednesday, August the 20. Yesterday, Donald Trump, in his ongoing war against

truth and history, issued a long post on his dollar store social media network, truth, social,

complaining about the Smithsonian and saying that all they do is complain

about how bad slavery was. Let me be very clear about something. If you were defending slavery,

you are losing. If you are defending slavery, you are a piece of shit. If you are defending slavery,

you are an absurdity, not a president. Magas will reply, he wasn't defending slavery. He just doesn't

want us to have to talk about it all the time. He wants to talk about how great America is. Most of you have never been to the Smithsonian. Donald Trump has certainly never been to the Smithsonian. He has never engaged in the process of going to a museum where history is portrayed in the good, the bad, the ugly. Last year we had Ron DeSantis out saying, oh, well, you know,

slavery taught people valuable skills as part of a curriculum proposal in the state of Florida.

You cannot normalize this shit, people. The fact that Maga was so ready to jump to Trump's defense

because he complained that Smithsonian had truthful exhibitions and exhibits about the grotesque history

of American slavery. It is a fundamental flaw in the initial operating system of this country.

We banned slavery in almost every state in this country, the importation of slavery, excuse me,

not the not slavery itself. Between 1805 and 1807, almost every state banned the importation

of slaves. Now that did not stop the importation of slaves. They continue to come into New Orleans and other ports. This was an institution in this country where we don't really know the upper boundary number because so many died on the passage. But we know that several hundred thousand human beings were brought from Africa and sold as chattels, sold as property,

enslaved. Now, America didn't start slavery. It's an ancient and horrifying institution. It's been

with us since the dawn of mankind. America didn't have a singular experience as a nation that

held slaves, but we were a nation founded on a different set of principles. Now, the

British banned slavery. They deployed in 1807, I believe it was, the West Africa Squadron, to

begin intercepting slave ships, the blackbirders. Nations learned, as the post-enlightenment era

came upon us, that the ownership of another human being was an exceptional moral horror, that the ownership of another human being was an exceptional moral horror,
