I appreciate it. Hey, yeah, there's a lot of good stuff on there. The War on Woke, what do you think?

I think the president's actually winning this

war on woke. Well, I, you know, I read a column over the weekend by Maureen Dowd, and it was pretty

clear to me that Marine Dowd hadn't really any idea what was going on at the Smithsonian. That is sort of

the newest element in this war on woke.

President Trump is pretty determined that Washington, D.C. and the major institutions in our nation's capital

will be sources of pride for Americans as we approach particularly the 250th anniversary next July of the signing of the Declaration

of Independence. And I don't know about you, Mark, I am totally on board with this. We should

have people coming to Washington to celebrate this tremendous milestone, 250th year of democracy

ruling and winning, and find safe streets and museums that celebrate our

past.

And what is extraordinary to me, you know, you and I are pretty inured to the DEI efforts

of Joe Biden and really starting with Obama and the fact that there's so much woke stuff in our literature and our academia, et cetera.

But to go on the Smithsonian's website and to read that the mission statement of the 21 museums under their ages is all about studying race and the history of racism

in the United States. And that is literally the entire mission statement. I was floored. I was

floored. And I've got to tell you, again, how, you know, how often are we shocked by this stuff?

Not very often because it kind of have gotten to expect it.

But that is an offense to every American.
