ding for that.

Chris Cuomo, I didn't realize this but Chris Cuomo is not a Democrat. I assume he was at one point but he was talking to Benny Johnson and he was talking about what the Democrat party has become. It was pretty brutal. Apparently he thinks that the Democrats become the party of elitism, open borders, socialism, and defunding the police and that those ideas are so bad they killed the modern Democratic party. He says the Democratic Party that his father was a part of no longer exists and he doesn't know why. He doesn't know why his brother is still registered as a Democrat. So as supportive as he is of his own brother he can't even say that the brother belongs to a party for a good reason. He goes, "My brother's a Democrat. I don't know why but he is. My father was a Democrat but his party doesn't exist anymore."

Well here's what I think. Cuomo in his current opinion of the Democrats and not wanting to be one of them feels like where Bill Maher is being drawn. I don't think Bill Maher is going to make it over the line. I think that you just, he'll have to stop before he becomes a Republican. And it's not like Chris Cuomo became a Republican. You know he's an independent. But do you think it's possible that Bill Maher will be pulled so far that he just denounces the Democrats and says, "All right I just can't even support you anymore." I feel like he's really close. So he might, I don't think he'll ever become a Republican but he doesn't need to. He just needs to denounce the badness.

The issue that Trump has created with this Smithsonian and the other museums. He wants the museums to focus more on the positive accomplishments of America and less focused around an emphasis on slavery. And to this point Mollie Hemingway was reporting on X. She said, "I overheard an older white woman sitting behind me on a plane ride today talking to her husband. She was aghast at the idea that the Smithsonian might not make the history of slavery the centerpiece of the institution."

Now we all agree that slavery was a big part of the story of the early United States. So everybody agrees with that. But does it make sense that your museum focuses on the thing that was the worst part? Well depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If what you're trying to accomplish with your museum is a history lesson, well then you just make sure that it covers all the history. And slavery was a big part of it. But if you're trying to make Americans feel good about being Americans, which I feel like is the more important use for the national museums. There could be private museums that do whatever they want but for a national museum I feel like it should absolutely be focusing on the positive so that we'd feel positive about the country.

But I will go further than that. I believe that the more attention it's giving to slavery as the original sin and biggest part of our history, it's all bad for black Americans today. Does anybody know why? It's something I've taught you many times and it's just glaringly obvious in this case and here it is. People don't think logically. They think by association. So if you can say somebody was good friends with Epstein you can ruin them even if th
