On his Fox Nation series "What Made America Great," Brian Kilmeade explores the places and "hidden gems" that shaped our country.

In the latest season, the talk show host and co-anchor of "Fox & Friends" examined the secrets of the White House and even had the opportunity to speak directly with its current resident, President Donald Trump. 

Recently, Brian Kilmeade spoke to host Dave Anthony on the Rundown about his new season, his conversation with the President and what he learned about 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. 

The conversation didn't just focus on America's past. Kilmeade weighed in on modern day politics and the ongoing debate over the public display of controversial historic monuments.

The interview was long and we could not fit it all in to our original segment. You can hear all of what Brian had to say about America then and now on today's Fox News Rundown Extra.

The Supreme Court heard arguments this week in former President Trump’s immunity case. The former President’s attorney D. John Sauer argued that a President should be immune from prosecution when it pertains to “official acts” of the office. The Department of Justice has argued that creating presidential immunity would create a slippery slope, encouraging future presidents to commit crimes without fear of persecution. FOX News Sunday Anchor and "Livin’ The Bream" podcast host Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to discuss what she took away from the arguments, what precedent could be set if the Court sides with the defense, and what could be coming next for the former President.

As America’s 41st president, a former director of the CIA, and a World War Two hero, there is no doubt George H.W. Bush not only sacrificed for this country but had a profound impact on America and the world. A new book, “Character Matters: And Other Life Lessons from George H. W. Bush”, examines how “Bush 41” inspired the people around him to be leaders and to do good. Special guest host Dana Perino speaks with Jean Becker, the book’s author and President Bush’s Chief of Staff after he left the White House, about the former President’s life and legacy

Supreme Court Weighs Arguments In Former President's Immunity Case

This week, President Biden signed a bill to force TikTok’s parent company ByteDance, based in China, to sell the rights to the app or be banned in the United States. ByteDance would have nine months to do make the sale. The TikTok CEO says that his company is 'going nowhere' and feels confident any ban would be defeated. 

FOX's John Saucier speaks with Congressman Buddy Carter (R-GA), co-sponsor of the bill, who says Beijing can not be trusted and he also shares his thoughts on Speaker Johnson.

Evening Edition: Time Is Ticking For 'TikTok' To Divest

On Wednesday, President Biden signed a $95 billion package to provide military aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. After months of pushback from many Republican lawmakers, enough GOP support was gathered to pass bipartisan legislation that the President assured would take effect within hours of the bill’s passage. Ukraine had desperately needed aid dollars and weaponry from the U.S. after months of suffering key military defeats in the face of a Russian invasion. FOX News Senior Foreign Affairs Correspondent Greg Palkot traveled to Kyiv and sat down for an exclusive with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss his gratitude to the American people for helping protect his country against Russian invaders. Zelenskyy shares how his nation plans to use the aid to start winning this war, stabilize the frontline, and send a message to Putin about the strength of the world's democracies.
Today, the Supreme Court will yet again hear another case that could have huge implications for the 2024 presidential race. The justices will hear arguments over whether former President Donald Trump should be immune from prosecution for acts taken while in office. Constitutional law expert and FOX News Contributor Jonathan Turley breaks down the case, and explains why a ruling in Trump’s favor could essentially kill Special Counsel Jack Smith’s federal case accusing the former president of illegally trying to overturn the 2020 election.

A Conversation With Ukrainian President Zelenskyy: “We’re Not Afraid Because We’re Not Alone”

It is fair to say the people of the United States take pride in their freedoms of speech and protest, laws that don't exist everywhere in the world. Those rights are on full display in the number of protests across American college campuses railing against support for Israel, but as these protests become increasingly dangerous, including a stabbing at a Yale protest and protesters at Columbia University heard shouting pro-terrorist group Hamas slogans, are they still a demonstration of free expression? Or acts of intimidation?

FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with William Jacobson, Cornell Law Professor, who has seen protests on his campus and says this has been building in academia for decades.

Evening Edition: Are Campus Protests Displays Of Freedom Or Acts of Intimidation?

Anti-Israel protests on college campuses have continued to escalate in the past few weeks, as demonstrators have begun occupying parts of Columbia University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Critics of these Ivy League universities have called on campus administrations to take action against what they see as clear violations of the schools’ codes of conduct. MIT graduate student and President of the MIT Israel Alliance, Talia Khan joins the Rundown to discuss the anti-Semitism she is witnessing at MIT right now, how the protests changed before and after the October 7th terror attacks in Israel, and what she believes must be done to restore the safety of Jewish students on these university campuses.
Grants Pass, Oregon, took the dispute over their city’s local homelessness ordinances all the way to the Supreme Court this week. Justices argued over the constitutionality of this small city’s new anti-camping rule, which aims to stop the rising homeless population from sleeping outside with municipal laws and fines. Manhattan Institute Senior Fellow and author of “Homelessness in America,” Stephen Eide joins the podcast to explain why this anti-camping rule is meant to be just one tool of many to fix the complex problem of widespread homelessness, the issues facing someone voluntarily homeless vs. involuntarily homeless, and why he believes empowering municipalities is a crucial first step towards a solution.
