Rewriting the History of Benjamin Rush and Hamilton

The hosts criticize a CBS segment and the musical "Hamilton" for rewriting the history of founding fathers like Benjamin Rush. While modern media portrays Rush as a progressive abolitionist, the hosts point out that he owned slaves and authored pseudoscientific racial theories. They characterize "Hamilton" as a form of "programming" for New York elites to accept a sanitized version of history.

Karen Hunter on Caste Systems and Hamilton Brown

Karen Hunter speculates that Kamala Harris's mother must have been from a lower caste in India because she married a Black man. This is debunked by the fact that her mother was a Brahmin, the highest caste. Furthermore, Dinesh D'Souza and Harris's own father have noted the family's descent from Hamilton Brown, one of the largest slave owners in Jamaica. The hosts mock Hunter for her lack of research on the VP candidate's actual heritage.
