9:08Now PlayingDave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to C. Bradley Thompson (Professor, Clemson University) about the origins of the Declaration of Independence, myths about American slavery and the founding fathers, why 1765 was possibly a more important year than 1776 for the American Revolution and why Donald Trump is one of the few presidents to ever challenge the deep state. C. Bradley talks about the philosophical origins of the Declaration of Independence. He believes the year 1765 was far more important than 1776 because this was the year that the American mind was born. He tells the story of why Americans suddenly made liberty, freedom and natural rights their priorities that would eventually be enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and fought for during the Revolutionary War.
