### Racial Capitalism and the Industrial Revolution

Angela Davis argued that capitalism is inherently "racial capitalism," claiming the Industrial Revolution was built on slave labor. Historical counter-arguments suggest that the Industrial Revolution actually led to the obsolescence of slavery in Britain by 1833. Critics contend that Davis and the 1619 Project are attempting to rewrite history to frame socialism as the only solution to racism.

The hosts characterize the pair as being "clinically insane" due to their obsession with the President.
