James Madison & Debunking Federalist Papers Myths (Pt. 1) | Kevin Gutzman | POLITICS | Rubin Report

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Kevin Gutzman (professor & author) about James Madison. He also explains and debunks popular myths of the Federalist Papers. Kevin corrects the narrative that founding fathers Alexander Hamilton, John Jay and James Madison successfully convinced Americans to support ratifying the Constitution with the Federalist Papers.The true American history is a lot more interesting and a lot more complicated than what you were taught in school.
