Summary

The cultural battle for America's soul plays out daily across our institutions, and today we're celebrating significant victories on multiple fronts that honor biblical, historical, and constitutional principles. President Trump has issued a bold directive to reshape how American history is presented across the Smithsonian museum system. Far from erasing difficult chapters like slavery, as critics claim, the initiative aims to restore balance to historical narratives that have become dominat...

Welcome to the intersection of faith and culture. It's good news Friday. Let's jump into some good news.

0:11.6

I'm Rick Green here with David Barton and Tim Barton. You can learn more about us at our website, wallbuilders.

0:16.4

Show and wallbuilders.com. Always taking a biblical, historical, and constitutional perspective to

0:22.3

everything. So obviously what we deem as good news would be something that falls in line with those

0:27.7

biblical, historical, and constitutional values. And if we don't get enough in today, there's always

0:33.7

more at that website, wallboulders. Show. That's the radio site where you can catch up on shows you might have missed or just listen daily at that link or you can send it out to your friends of family, which we strongly encourage you to do. But for now, let's just dive into some good news. David Barton's getting started. Go ahead, bro. I'm going to start with what Trump is doing at the Smithsonian Museum. Smithsonian actually is not a museum, it's 21 museums and some additional properties

0:56.8

as well.

0:57.7

So you've got the Air and Space Museum, African American History, Native American History,

1:02.4

Museum of American History, all these different museums.

1:05.6

And what has happened is if you go through really pretty much anything that's been federal for the last six

1:12.9

eight 10 years it has a very distinctive left perspective to everything um as the left just as they have

1:19.3

at universities they bought into DEI and they bought into the CRT and all the other stuff and by the way

1:25.9

be real clear because i want to get this a minute with Trump something something I'm going to say with Trump, look, there's no, there is no reason not to be covering race and to be covering diversity and be covering those issues in history. The problem is if that's your only focus and only filter through which you see things, we ought to be covering the issues of race, we ought to be covering the issues of slavery, but we also ought to be covering the issues of anti-slavery and those who fought against it as well. Well, and dad, I think more specifically what you're referencing is we ought to be covering and telling the American story. And when it covers in the American story, people that are pro-slavery, you say they're pro-slavery.

2:03.1

When it covers people that are anti-slavery, you say it's anti-slavery, but you just tell the

2:07.3

story when you are not focused on telling the story, that the whole story, the true story,

2:13.0

the good, the bad, and the ugly, when instead you want to say, we're only going to focus on a DEI perspective,

2:20.7

on critical race theory, on whatever that position might be. If that's the only part of the story

2:26.2

you're telling, then you're being incredibly dishonest in that presentation of history. And so it's

2:30.4

not that we should have portions where we tell the pro-slavery or anti-slavery story.

2:35.0

No, you tell the American story and you kind of let the chips fall where they may.

2:39.9

You talk about people like an Abraham Lincoln, like a Jefferson Davis, a Robert E. Lee, a U.S.

2:47.2

Grant, you tell their story.
