The Fox News Rundown

Scott Adams originally made a name for himself as the creator of the Dilbert cartoon. The comic strip known for making fun of white-collar careers and cubicle life appears online and in 2,000 newspapers worldwide.

But in recent years, Scott has also become one of social media’s most controversial commentators.

His video monologues and humorous twitter battles with trolls have given him a large and loyal online following

Scott Adams joined the Rundown earlier this week to discuss his career, meeting the President and his new book, “Loserthink: How Untrained Brains Are Ruining America.”

He told our host Dave Anthony about how he tries to keep his career as a cartoonist separate from his sometimes provocative political views. Especially if the views are related to president Donald Trump, some who he has met and regularly supporters.

Adams has a lot of opinions and a lot of unique takes on our society and his book criticizes many common trends and beliefs he thinks are changing our country for the worst. He shared many of them with The Rundown, and due to time we couldn’t get all of what had to say in a single segment

On the Fox News Rundown Extra, you’ll hear more from cartoonist and commentator Scott Adams. He shares more of his views on the President, his haters, and how social media and “Loserthink” is impacting our politics and culture.

The fight for the Alamo remains one of the most pivotal moments in American history.

And Brian Kilmeade is one of cable news’ biggest stars.

But there’s a very good chance there’s a lot you don’t know about both the Alamo and Brian Kilmeade.

In Brian Kilmeade’s new book Sam Houston and the Alamo Avengers: The Texas Victory That Changed American History, the “Fox & Friends” host breaks down what happened after the Alamo and shines a light on the lesser-known heroes that eventually brought Texas to victory.

Earlier this week, Kilmeade joined host Dave Anthony and the Rundown to discuss what his new book reveals about this turning point in America and how he managed to write yet another book despite his very busy television and radio schedule.

During the interview, Kilmeade showed how passionate he is about the subject and history, telling incredible stories, full of details and historical context to how General Sam Houston used the loss at the Alamo to rally the surviving Texans and eventually defeat the Mexican army.

Kilmeade also took some time to discuss his career and what it’s like to work on “Fox & Friends”, a morning show that has millions viewers and regularly grabs the attention of President Trump and NBC’s Saturday Night Live

However, because the conversation was so long, not all of it could be used on Wednesday’s Rundown.

On The Fox News Rundown Extra, Brian Kilmeade shares even more ‘behind the scenes’ stories about his time at Fox and what it’s like to be watched (and sometimes criticized) by the President of the United States.
