Summary

Decades before the United States desegregated, President Theodore Roosevelt and Booker T. Washington broke the racial barrier in American politics. The pair's professional relationship sparked outrage in Washington, as the country just passed the Jim Crow laws a decade prior. Brian Kilmeade, the host of FOX and Friends and the Brian Kilmeade show, joins the Rundown to discuss his new book, “Teddy and Booker T.: How Two American Icons Blazed a Path for Racial Equality,” and shares why their friendship is something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is here, which means the winter holidays are just around the corner. Every year around this time, Americans prepare their Christmas shopping lists for loved ones, yet some families struggling financially are not able to give their kids presents for the holiday. Ret. Marine Colonel Ted Silvester is the Vice President of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, and he says his organization wants to support every family that seeks holiday help. He joins the podcast to share how Toys for Toys is breaking down barriers to provide families support and letting parents be the heroes. Plus, commentary from Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
