Jefferson scholar Dr. Mark Andrew Holowchak and Cliff Kincaid discuss the latest attack on Thomas Jefferson—an expensive Smithsonian production of "History by a Hair,” a book sold as "a sweeping, multi-year genomic investigation," which is in reality another misleading attempt to portray Thomas Jefferson as the father of his slave Sally Hemings' children. Other controversial current topics: Jefferson's authorship of the Declaration of Independence, his beliefs about Jesus, miracles, and the resurrection, and his war with the Muslim Barbary pirates.
