The answer was in the portion you snipped.
"I've read a great deal of what they wrote and I know better."

I wonder how he "knows better?" Karl Marx? The Communist Manifesto?

If he has some other writings that tell him that the Founding Fathers
were wrong, doesn't it behoove him to put his money where his mouth
is?

That's what he was asking you to do.
Put your money where your mouth is.
Go ahead and if you disagree with his "I know better" statement just say
so and why.

It might, as Ed mentioned, actually be interesting.

He said, "Where did you get this idea, and don't say "The Founding
Fathers."

Unfortunately, I got the idea from the Founding Fathers...

Quotes, please. The Federalist Papers is sort of a condensed version, if you
need a place to start. And there are some 4,000 indexed documents of Thomas
Jefferson in the online archives from U. of Va. Madison is more difficult,
and you probably won't want to bother with Hamilton, because he's the one
who contradicts what you said most directly.

..., and he had applied
prior restraint by saying, in essence, "Answer my question, but don't give
me the answer I don't want to hear."

Now do you get it?

I'd love to hear it, Rich, if that's where you got it. I was just trying to
save you from going up a blind alley. But if that's where you want to go, by
all means, go for it.
