Besides hosting multiple TV shows and a radio show for FOX News, Brian Kilmeade has written multiple books about America's history and the people who shaped our country.

His latest release is, "Teddy and Booker T.: How Two American Icons Blazed a Path for Racial Equality." It looks back at the relationship between President Theodore Roosevelt and Booker T Washington, a former slave who became an educator, an advisor to presidents, and a leader in the African American community.

Recently Brian Kilmeade joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to discuss the book and why he decided to focus on how that unlikely relationship impacted race relations in America.

Kilmeade also weighed in on the ongoing war between Israel and Gaza and the importance of knowing the region's complex history. Kilmeade believes some of the anti-Israel and anti-Semitic protests are being fueled by misinformation about Israel.
