Most of the residents who were walking past objected to what they were doing.

And so I put on a little protest of my own, grabbed our Queen Elizabeth portrait from inside the bar and danced around.

Pretty perplexing to them, I think.

I don't think they've ever had somebody get in their face like that.

and make a mockery of them.

It did seem to upset them, and it especially seemed to upset the police.

Again, they are allowed, these far-left paid protesters are allowed free speech, but apparently I'm not, even outside, out front, on my own easement of my own restaurant.

And that's Washington, D.C.

for you, ladies and gentlemen.

Nevertheless, I hope they come back.

The fact that the restaurant gets protested is a sign that we are getting under their skin, and it makes more and more people come to Butterworth's on Capitol Hill.

I'll see you there.

So that was a couple of hours, I don't know how we got through it that quickly, of what's gone on in the last year, a lot of it in and around my life, but I wanted to show you the things that I think a lot of people don't get to see, especially things that I'm really excited about, like the takeover of the Trump Kennedy Center.

I think it is important, I think it is,

imperative that in addition to dominating the politics, that MAGA learns to dominate the culture too.

And in a lot of ways, it doesn't just mean imposing our will or our view onto the rest of the city or indeed the rest of the nation through those things.

The same can be said, by the way,

for the Smithsonian institutions.

And I think you'll hear a lot more about that stuff in the year to come.

There's a lot of things that I can't tell you that I know is coming in the next year because it would give the opponents of these things a little bit too much of a heads up.
