Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills. But it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. Up from payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for 12-1 plan required, $15 per month equivalent. Taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy. See terms. I assure you, I assure you, I will be fighting to protect every single Wisconsin night because I'm the only candidate in this race who will meet ICE with the force and fury required to keep us all safe.

Yes, the Democrats keeping it classy there. Francesca Hong, and the champ was, well, cursing. We'll just say it's cursing. And they're the third world. They are the Banana Republic living among us. They are here to destroy the United States America. Our cultural values, our cultural norms, they. They, it's the left, and the left I've been saying for years now, wherever the left goes, they bring the third world with them. You know, you turn the first world over to the third world, and they do everything they can. I was sort of recreated in their own image. They've got a God complex, and they destroy everything they touch. This woman is out of her mind, and men in perfectly good standing with the Democrat Party. Democrat Socialists face a prove-it moment in Battleground, Wisconsin. And I got to tell you, these people are trash. She's Asian, so you can't call her white trash. But if she were Anglo-Caucasian, I'd definitely be calling her white trash. So what is it, what do you call it Asian-Wong? I think that her ancestors might have been among the founders of Hong Kong. Could have been, you know, one of them named after an ancestor or something like that. But Francesca Hong, Democrat, running for governor. And she owns a restaurant. I've heard a lot about her restaurant. Ask her any question. And she starts talking about the restaurant. And these people, can I just say these people? We've got a lot of Democrat stuff going on today. There are... primaries today, primary elections, and the Democrats are running left against the extreme left, against the far, far left, and that's... Kind of where they are because they're nuts. And they got this Abdul El-Sayed guy. Abdul El-Sayed, he's jihadi, you know, kill the Jews, kill America. And the Democrats are trying to get these people elected to high office. And they believe capitalism? No, not capitalism so much. They might lie to you a little bit about capitalism. But Abdul El-Sayed and Abdul, they just call him Abdul. He's Abdul. And he explains to us that Abdul is the most normal of America. names now, just like the name Mohammed is the most normal of English names in England now, since it is the most common name for a newborn boy in the United Kingdom, Muhammad. And the second most common name for a newborn boy in the United Kingdom is Mohammed also, but with a different spelling. You got one Muhammad, two Muhammad, three, Muhammad, four. Got a lot of Mohammeds going on. But the Democrats and if you're a left-wing or if you're a liberal, you figure that, well, Well, there is no problem with that. What could possibly go wrong? The usual stuff. The left is the same everywhere you go. Everywhere around the world, they destroy and kill, and it's what they do. And we've got in Missouri.

They've got Cori Bush is back. She's a Democratic Socialist candidate now. And she was a member of the House previously, and she was chased out of office because she was so terrible by her own party. And she was primarily done, and this guy, Bell, beat her. And now he's the incumbent there. But Cori Bush is back with a vengeance, and she's here to, you know, universal health care, like in the Soviet Union. She's basically a Soviet to call all her ideas. and these Democratic Socialists, they've got a lot of wacky ideas. That's for sure. In Michigan, They have such goings on, too. There's the Michigan House of Representatives race, the 13th district. They've got Democratic Socialist, Democratic Socialist guy. They're a guy McKinney against the – they already have – see, they already have the seat because the incumbent is a Democrat named Thénadar, Thénadar, and she brings good old-fashioned American values. Now, here comes McKinney, who's a socialist. And remember, it was Lenin who said the goal of socialism. is communism and it's me who's had the goal of communism is to kill everybody and steal everything and that's based on the actual history of the last century But that's not important now. So we've got that primary race going on today in Michigan for the 13th District and the House of Representatives. McKinney, Democratic Socialists. And in Missouri, you've got Cori Bush, Democratic Socialist. And these are Democrat primaries. So it's Democrat on Democrat violence, as is often the case until they turn their guns at Republicans, which they've done again and again. And then in the Senate race in Michigan. That's where you've got Abdul El-Sayed, Abdul El-Sayed, and against a Democrat woman named Stevens, and it's sexist, obviously, that he's running against her at all. She's a woman, and she deserves the seat because she's a woman, and she's not a woman of color, though, so maybe she should just back off because, you know. But Abdul El-Sayed. He says he's not a socialist, and then you ask him what he's for, and he goes right down the list checking every socialist box, except he says he's for capitalism, but he wants it very heavily regulated by the government so they can steal the maximum amount of stuff. Also, we got the idiot socialist in New York that the Democrats elected. He's a jihadi, too. He would wipe out the Jews from the river to the sea and beyond. And he is, you know, Zohran Mamdani. He's Zohran Mamdani. And he's got a great idea for socialist grocery stores. And they're so dumb. These people are so dumb. They must all be Kay Ivey League people because they've got these ideas for five.

6:54

grocery stores where everything will be 30% less expensive in the grocery stores than in actual grocery stores run by capitalists. And they're like, oh, capitalism bad. We're going to have state run, city run, grocery stores, and everything's going to be much less expensive. And then the question came up, well, how do you know you've got New Yorkers who live in the neighborhood shopping at the stores and not people coming in from Delaware and Connecticut to get cheap grocery? groceries and then bring them back to their Korean bodegas and sell them at inflated prices back at their family stores. How are you going to do that? And the idiot said, Well, Zohran Mamdani's wing girl said, well, we're going to have IDs. They hadn't actually thought about this when they're asked. And they're going to be like library card IDs, she says. So you're going to have a city issued ID to shop at the grocery stores. And this is great. So to buy cabbage and prunes, you have to show an ID issued by the state, but not to vote on election day. And that makes a lot of sense because you've got to prove that you're from New York because they don't want people from out of state coming in. But then the mayor was asked about it. He's a jihadi. And he had an answer that was kind of the opposite of what they had said yesterday. Oh, no, there will be no IDs because they realize, wait a minute, you've got to have IDs to buy whatever cabbage, but not to vote. And that makes us look pretty stupid because they're pretty stupid. And every now and then they're going to look pretty stupid. because of that fact. And he said, oh, no, we're not going to have any of that. We're just going to know. It's only for New Yorkers, but we have no way of verifying whether somebody's from New York. And so they're going to put caps on how much you can buy to keep bodega owners from Delaware from coming into New York City to get 30% discount on a van full of grocery store food in New York City that the socialists are running. And Whittle you hear this because they're just so clueless. They're amazing. To be absolutely clear, says Zohran Mamdani. New York City grocery stores will be open to everyone. Oh, good. Okay, so the people from Pennsylvania can come in and load up trucks with groceries at a 30% discount and then go back to Philadelphia and they got their truckload of stuff. That's good, right? So New York City grocery stores will be open to everyone. There will be no system to verify identity, residency, or income. Nobody mentioned so rich people from Philadelphia can come in and load up trucks and go home with a 30% discount. And no one will be asked to show ID to shop. They're using weasel words here. because as soon as the store opens, day one, the shelves will be stripped bare within an hour or two because everybody's invited. They just said everybody from surrounding states, from New Jersey, from Pennsylvania, from Delaware, from Montana can drive into New York City with a truck, with a van. You can load it up with your heavily discounted food subsidized by the communist, mayor of New York, who is elected.

10:08

And then the grocery store will be empty on day one, and everybody will flee like it was a robbery, like it was looting, because it really is. And then they're going to say, huh, this redistribution of wealth thing is more complicated than we had originally thought. What are we going to do now? Isn't that amazing stuff? These people, they didn't think it through. They're not smart people. Now, one of the things that we're very excited to celebrate today, and not everyone's going to do this, today is a big birthday. Today is a big birthday. It's August 4th. and two days before Hiroshima Day, or Hiroshima Day, if you prefer. And what is it? It's a big birthday. It's a 65th birthday, and somebody can go on Social Security now and has to get Medicare. I think it's required. He has to go on Medicare. It's Barack Hussein Obama. Barack Hussein Obama's birthday is today, and he turned 65 years old today, and that's very exciting. I think to everyone in the Barack Hussein Obama household, anyway. So we've got that, and we do have a special presentation on that because of all the, you know, it's a big deal that he's going to slow the rise of the oceans. Michael, is he still slowing the rise of the oceans, or did he leave that behind when he left the presidency? He was president in the United States for two terms, isn't that amazing? And now the Democrat Party in his wake is the Soviet Union. It's the Communist Party. And they're jihadis, just like him. They're commies and jihadis, just like him. He really made an indelible mark, and you can't erase it. You can't rub it out. It's kind of a skid mark left by the legacy of Barack Hussein Obama. Oh, yeah, speaking of which... There's a fun story going around because President Trump loves fun stories, and he always knows a fun story when he sees one. This is great. While I was away on our sea cruise last week, the story broke and I saw it. Trump orders signs at the Smithsonian Institution, the museums on the mall in Washington, D.C. that have been taken over and run by corrupt Democrats. I'm sorry, I know that's redundant, but the repetitive and unnecessarily duplicative, but the Democrats that the Obama and Biden people put in charge of our museums, like the Museum of American History. They turn them into left-wing propaganda hate fests at the museums on the mall.

12:42

So President Trump ordered signs be placed outside the National Museum of American History, warning visitors that American historical accounts inside are not accurate, not accurate, because Democrats took over and they're like, oh, America's bad, the founding fathers are bad, dude. And that's actually the dude, and they have audio presentations by drug-addled hippies. But visitors walking to the Smithsonian Institution Museum in Washington, D.C. could see temporary signage or exhibits, alerting them as visitors to our nation's capital, of the contents inside the space, meaning the museum at the Smithsonian. According to a July 24th executive order, which directs the Interior Department to place the warnings, the order... comes after the White House released a 162-page report on the 4th of July that disputed the Smithsonian Institution's account of American history. What? The Smithsonian is producing accounts of U.S. history, of American history, that are laughable, mockable, that you need to put a warning label on. The report by the White House Domestic Policy Council said that the National Museum of American History was an instrument for radical activist cohort that sought to reframe the American story to serve its ideological ends. That is, anti-American history. They're teaching anti-American history. So President Trump's latest order said signage should... should notify visitors that the museum's exhibits should be renovated consistent with findings in the White House report. His order said that the news signs would direct visitors to locations and resources for accurate information regarding America's history. Now, how can that be? That's madness. It's who took over. Oh, wait, it's Democrats. And as I pointed out, well, you know, they're anti-American and they're un-American and sometimes a fine melting of the two, don't you think? Pardon me. And so there is a now a story of the Fox News people have put together that a historian and American historian went to the museum of American history. here in Washington, D.C., and you'll never guess what he found there. I've got that for you coming up because... You know, you give a lefty a fumble full of power, and he'll abuse it before the sun goes down. That's for sure. And I'm not even talking about the WNBA. Is that a him or is that a – he'll abuse it? I don't know. They'll abuse it. Maybe you've got to check their pronouns because they're all confused. They're all very confused. So I've got that coming up. We've got politics going on.

15:45

We've got the, out west, they've got arrested and other ursinists. You know, Democrats love to burn things. And this guy, this guy's a real killer. I'll tell you. They arrested the arsonist, and it should come as no surprise, given what he was sent to prison for the last time. That's coming up, but Democrats just like to let people out. And Barack Obama's birthday, it's a big day somewhere. Nobody knows where for sure. But Barack Obama's birthday, whatever you do, don't go paddleboarding by his multimillion-dollar mansion in Martha's Vineyard. We're at 888-630-965. Amazon Health AI presents painful thoughts. Why did I search the internet for answers to my cold sore problem? Now I'm stuck down a rabbit hole filled with images of alarmingly graphic sores in various stages of ooze. I can clear my search history, but I can never unsee that. Don't go down the rabbit hole. Amazon Health AI gets you the right care fast. Health care just got less painful.

17:05

There is a guy walking around Washington, D.C. with a goat, with a goat on a leash. It's quite a large goat, too. It's not a little tiny goat. It's like high as your rip cage kind of goat. It's a little big goat. A guy walking around Washington, D.C. with his goat. Now, I think Fox 5 says that the guy's been arrested. I'm going to have to look into this a little more deeply. Apparently the... The goat, was it Vicky? Michael, is it Vicky the goat? The guy's walking around with a goat. Washington, D.C., a goat on a leash, and people want to talk to him because he's walking around with a goat. and they've apparently arrested him, and might have had something to do with the torn fishnet stockings that he dressed the goat up in, and the lipstick. He had lipstick, where she, I haven't really looked that closely. I respect its privacy, but it is a goat, and there has been an arrest apparently, and might have something to do with the torn fishnet stockings and the Bustier. that the goat was wearing, and the lipstick got a little weird, but you know how these people can be. There are a lot of Democrats in this city, so you got to give a little, you know? They've got a lot on their minds or something like that. Remarkable people. I was just talking about the Smithsonian Institution and how President Trump has said you've got to put signs in front of the Museum of American History because the Democrats that run the place. have so butchered American history that you might not recognize it, and it's really anti-American history is what's going on here, because they don't like us. They're not on Team America. And when you give them the museums on the mall in Washington, D.C., the Smithsonian Museums, like the American History Museum, you'll never guess what they do with it. I've got that coming up because a historian was brought in to take a look. at the Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. That's coming up. Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills. But it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. Up front payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for 12-month plan required, $15 per month equivalent. Taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only, greater than 50 gigabytes, me slow when network is busy. See terms. All right, I was just talking about the fact that there are so many things that I was gone for a week, a little over a week.

20:00

A lot of crazy occurred while I was gone because the Democrats are on the loose, and that can be problematic. But one of them is President Trump saying we need to put warning signs in front of Smithsonian museums in Washington, D.C. You may remember when the Museum of African-American, something or other, opened on the mall several years ago now in Washington, D.C. They deliberately left out any mention of any reference to Justice Clarence Thomas, definitely one of America's most historic and important Supreme Court justices and alive and well. And the Democrats are, they're a hate cult and they hate everyone. That all started Clarence Thomas with the Joe Biden orchestrated high-tech lynching of Clarence Thomas during the confirmation hearing. Joe Biden has been a Democrat racist and good standing forever. He's, you know, his old buddy from West Virginia, Robert Byrd, Senator, he founded the KKK in West Virginia. Good, good buddy, you know, close to... Joe Biden's Delaware. Oh, was he from Scranton? He's from wherever he wants to be that day. But the... The Democrats, you put them in charge of the Museum of African American History, and they give you a political, a left-wing political version of black history in the United States, and they airbrush out the Democrat Party's history of being the Confederate States of America and creating the KKK and being in charge of every Jim Crow law. None of that is in the Museum of African American History. It is there as an indictment of the United States, but they forget to mention that. It's all Democrats at every turn. And the progressive Democrats like Woodrow Wilson, segregating, racially segregating the military and things like that, they leave out a lot. You know, they're corrupt, you see, because they're lefties and lefties, if they're talking, they're lying. You know how that goes. But let me get back to the Smithsonian here because President Trump, well. My best girl on our way away with 165 of our closest friends on our sea crews in the Adriatic and Ionian seas. Wonderful stuff. The President Trump said, we've got to put warning signs in front of the Museum of American History because the Democrats have turned into a frenzy of anti-American stuff, you know, Democrat Party stuff. And they bring in academics from college campuses that are all left-wing, loony bins, and they, you know, destroy Israel from the river to the sea universities and things like that. But here's the story from the Fox News people. Historian blasts Smithsonian's activism, that's their activism shift, after first visit in over a decade, quote,

22:54

completely different place. End quote. Dr. Jody Edward Ginn said the biggest problem with the Smithsonian is what they leave out. He says it's what they leave out. Very often the case in, you know, when you're a corrupt historian, your left-wing fake historian, when you're a journalist, it's what you leave out very often is more sinister and more important than what you actually include. What you put in, it's what you exclude. But the story from Fox News. A historian and museum professional accused the Smithsonian of abandoning its educational mission in favor of activism following his visit to the National Museum of American History, which I like to abbreviate in parentheses as the NMAH, because now you've got to refer to it as the NMAH. But it's okay, I won't. He said it's the first time he's been there in more than a decade amid mounting criticism from the Trump administration. and conservatives over how the museum presents American history. Well, kind of the same way they do on college campuses. I'm guessing it's the same thing. It's anti-American history. They're anti-Western, they're anti-civilization. They're certainly anti-us. And here he is Dr. Ph.D., Jody Edward Ginn. It's a completely different place than it was when I was there in 2012, he told Fox News Digital. Its mission is clearly exactly what they changed it to be. It's a museum for activism. They use history, but that's kind of the problem. You know, scholars of history, and I don't consider these folks scholarly anymore, they're activists. So he's gone to the Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., and the mall, and the Democrats have gotten to it, and they're commies. They're effectively commies. They'll tell you that they're not commies, and then they'll tell you that they're here to steal all your stuff, and send you to the gulags. After reading the administration's Domestic Policy Council report accusing the Smithsonian and the National Museum of American History for failing to present history in a way that is inspiring, unifying, and worthy of our great republic, the historian Gin said that he traveled all the way from Texas to see it for himself. From the moment I walked in... he said, it's a very different experience. Now, I wasn't totally shocked by this because I've been watching this evolution in my field for over a decade. It's in his field historians corrupting history because they're the left and they corrupt everything they touch. As he made his way through the exhibits, Ginn said that the institution seeks to specifically direct visitors to action. They're called actions. You've got to burn a synagogue when you get out of there, rather than give them the information that they need to make their own decisions. It became this goal, he said, their own stated goal, to turn museums from institutions of education, of public education, into institutions to encourage activism, which could also be said to be indoctrinate. That's how you could indoctrinate. Ginn said he found factually incorrect information in some

26:16

of the exhibits, but argued that they don't tell visitors. It's just as misleading. It's factually incorrect, and then they don't make a footnote. Oh, yeah, by the way, we're lying about this over here. So they kind of lie twice because they pretend that they're telling you the truth, and they've got signs. So come read about our history. but it's a corrupt Democrat Party, left-wing, anti-American version of American history, just like on college campuses. The biggest problem is what they leave out, he said. Ginn argued that the museum's graphic, listen to this now, and sexually explicit exhibits have no place in a museum frequented by children and families, saying they're out of sync with what museums were just a few years ago. These are geared toward all ages. Why would you do that? He says, all of that's out of sync with what museums were just a few years ago. In a House hearing, the House of Representatives last month, lawmakers raised similar concerns during a house hearing, a pressing Smithsonian National Museum of American History Director. Anthea Hartig, Anthea Hartig, about the museum's exhibits. Congressman Tim Burchett, Republican from Tennessee, asked Hartig, the head of the Museum of American History of Hates America, about the exhibit titled, Illegal to Be You, Colon. They love their colons. Gay History Beyond Stonewall, which, listen to this now, which featured a bondage harness saying, You have pictures of bondage. You have some overtly sexual things up there. You have transgender folks. And lawmakers also question hardig about the... The 2017 mass action toolkit. We've got the mass action for mob violence, and they create a lot of it the left has since then, certainly. A guide for museum professionals that references the 2014 Ferguson-Missouri police shooting. Hey, was that Michael Brown, was that hands up, don't shoot? I'd say, you know, you've got to keep tabs on this stuff here. And subsequent Black Lives Matter protests, sure, while describing object. Listen to this. This is the museum and the guide that they put together for other museum and museum people. It describes objectivity as a characteristic of, listen now, white supremacy culture, right, which the historian Gin said was part of its effort to lean toward activism. They actually describe objectivity as something inflicted upon them by white supremacy culture, just like electricity and running water. You know, things inflicted upon you by what you describe as white supremacy culture. Reflecting on the testimony, Ginn said that he was very disappointed and that did not represent a scholarly presentation whatsoever. That's what he said. If that's the kind of museum, you've been approved to run, then just own it, he said.

29:22

Don't say you're being unbiased when it's really evident, of course, that you're not. Ginn also criticized Hartig, the head of the museum, for maintaining that the museum has not taken aside, adding that its revised mission statement changed the purpose of that museum. During a 2024 presentation to undergraduate and graduate history students, Hartig, the head of the museum lady, explained that the museum removed the mention of, quote, American history, end quote, from its mission statement because it was, quote, hard to get out of the America first mentality. See, she was afraid that they were trapped in the America First mentality, so they eliminated any mention of American history in its mission statement at the Museum of American History. Maybe she ought to be gassed. We should move her over to the Museum of German History and give her a little boost, little gasp. Isn't that amazing? For again, the historian. His visit confirmed what he described as a massive shift in the museum profession, while the Smithsonian serving as the highest profile symptom of a process that's been going on for some time. He said, it's my opinion as a public historian. that the mission we've always had is to educate the public and provide scholarly information. To me, that's what the National Museum of American History should be. Should be. That should be, but isn't because they've turned it into a Democrat Party frenzy. of America bashing. And we're the bad guys because, you know, they get their experts from Harvard at the School of History there, and they come down and give you the anti-American version of the left because that's who they are. Aren't they wonderful? Yeah, that's great. Yeah, I was going back and forth from my friend Brian on this morning, and he shot this one to me. He's like, wow, this is good follow up on President Trump, insisting on signs. You've got to put a warning thing, you know, on the museums. Warning, Democrats have taken over the American History Museum, and you can't believe a damn thing you see in here anymore because, you know. Also, speaking of Democrats, the goat, we got Vicki, the goat guy. And I just got video of him being arrested. He's being arrested in Washington, D.C., walking around with a goat. I don't know why is that. Is that a problem? Because Harry Reid, Harry Reid, had a goat Vicky in his office for years. Everybody knows that. And this goat, what is he doing? And the goat is named Bob. That doesn't mean it's a boy goat, though, because, honestly, if you're going to address the goat in fishnet stockings and a boostier and put lipstick on the goat, and then call it Bob.

32:25

Well, you know, they're Democrats. It's D.C. is a Democrat kind of place. But there are, what do we have, four or five police officers arresting the guy. And the goat, the goat's right in the middle of it all. The goat wanted to say hello to the police. And all that, what is that, the metro police? It looks like it might be the transportation police here in Washington, D.C., but they arrested the goat guy. We don't know what for just yet. I hope to see more in court documents as they become available. Isn't that amazing? Just wonderful. I'm telling you. Yes, sir. And we've got, we've got a lot of, we've got a lot of other crazy news today, of course. We got Zohran Mamdani, the Zohran Mamdani thing, and his stores, and they've got it all figured out. They have nothing figured out. Absolutely nothing figured out. They apparently didn't think about this grocery store thing at all before they just announced it because they're commies at heart. They're basically commies. They don't like anything good. anything good nothing nothing good at all but i've got uh i've got a lot of stories for you because they just keep uh flying them in over the transom and and they can't stop they just can't stop these people But we've got headers for you today. Socialists run amok. That's one of our great stories today because the Democrats run the loose and they've got a couple of primary elections today as well. And we've got in Wisconsin this woman running for Gubner up there who is a left-wing radical Francesca Hong. and she's really something. And she then sat down for an interview at CNN. Remember yesterday we played audio of Dana Bash, really going after Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. Again and again and again, not letting him finish his sentence and shouting him down and stuff. Well, they brought on because, you know, he works with Trump, and that can't be allowed. And now they've got this Hong woman, and they brought her on CNN. And boy, it was a love fest, and she said the most outrageous things. And the idiot anchor, Caitlin Susan Collins, just sat there with a big smile on her face, excited to be talking to Hong, who's saying the craziest stuff in the world. But no, wait a minute, are you really saying that we're going to harvest everybody's organs? And there's no interrupting her because it's a love fest, you know, when you're... When you're a Democrat, you get the hot oil massage in the hot tub there in the jacuzzi. Pretty amazing stuff. And we've got that contrasting that with yesterday's CNN interview with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. as it would be a class in journalism school that will never be taught anywhere. But never mind that. We got Zohran Mamdani trying to figure out capitalism, and he's not making any headway at all. Hasn't figured out anything. We've got...

35:17

The illegals crashing a Spanish property in Morocco, and President Trump talking about that, it looks like they might have put Kamala Harris in charge of their border. But we've got an update for you on that. And Iran, you know, there are terrorists up there, and bad things going on because they do all kinds of crazy stuff. And, of course, Barack Hussein Obama's birthday coming up. We're at 888-630-9625. Well, like most members of America's cultural elites, I worship Pan, the goat god. Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mintz offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills. But it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. Up front payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for 12-1 plan required, $15 per month equivalent. Taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes, may slow when network is busy. See terms. The Democrat Party, the Democrat Party. What is the matter with those people? The Washington Post has a piece today. The headline is The Interview That Exposes Academia's Cluelessness. You're a little behind the curve on this one, once again, Washington Post people. But never mind that. We'll just stay years ahead of you again on everything else. All right. Let's go to the telephones, Michael. We're at 888630-9625. Let's go to Jonathan, calling from Centerville, Virginia. Jonathan, you're on the Chris Plant Show. Christopher, good morning, my friend. Hey, hey now. What do you say? Well, I say first and foremost that I hope you know how much your loyal audience misses you while you're gone. We're very happy you had a lovely time, but you're a breath of fresh air and levity in this crazy world, my friend. Well, thank you very much. That's all I've ever wanted to be, a little fresh air, a little bit of levity. You know, the madness is everywhere. We must make fun of it. Indeed, and you nail it so routinely, my friend. Listen, I wanted to submit to you, I think there's a far more insidious and pervasive evil even than the fake news propaganda that we get out of the lame stream every day. And you nailed it with the Smithsonian. I know it may seem trivial to some Americans, but this is pervasive. And are you familiar at all with the works of Raymond Ibrahim? Refresh my memory. I know I've heard the name. Well, he's an incredible, he's a Coptic Christian American, but of Egyptian Coptic lineage. And he's done incredible work exposing the real history between Islam and Christendom. And within his works, he studied at Georgetown for a time. And there's a gentleman named John Esposito there, who's largely considered to be, you know, the Goliath in that historical realm. And he's just ripped apart, the fake history that he's spouted. I mean, he talks about the 700s to, I think, like, 11, 1,200s as a time of peace and prosperity between Islam and Christendom. And Raymond just goes through the actual history and original Arabic text. He speaks Arabic. And he just tears it apart. And he sheds light where there is darkness.

And it is the left that brings the darkness, isn't it? Oh, isn't it ever, my friend, every day. But the historical perspective is something we overlook all the time. We read a book on a guy with letters behind his name who says that he knows the history, and we take it for what it is. But so much at the time I'm finding, it just isn't. Revision of history, I'd argue it's even more insidious evil than the fake news propaganda. Well, I would say, just sort of in a nutshell. If Islam is the religion of peace, why is the Islamic world constantly at war? Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile.
