Hey, everyone, welcome to you from the kitchen table.

I'm your host, Sean Duffy, along with my co-host for the podcast, with my partner in life as well, Rachel Campos Duffy.

Thank you, Sean. And it's so great to be back at the kitchen table with you and with our next

guest who actually is a colleague of mine. I spent the morning with him this past week on Fox

and Friends. And it's just great to have him at the kitchen table sharing a virtual cup of coffee with

Sean.

And that's Brian Kilmead.

He is a New York Times bestseller now.

He's also in our book.

I know he likes to sell his own books, but we're going to have him sell our book a little

bit this week, too, or All-American Christmas. Brian, welcome. Hey, guys, thanks having me on. I appreciate it. I feel bad, Sean, because Rachel had to deal with me for three hours already, and then she's got to deal with me today. I'm really wearing her out. I know, but she comes home with those laugh lines after she spends three hours with you, Brian, because she's laughing the whole time.

It's awesome.

Well, Brian, let's just get right into it because one of the things I love about you besides the fact that we work together and you're really smart and all that kind of stuff is that you have always been known at our network as the history guy, right?

Like now when everybody has a question about history,

they want to go to Brian Kilmead.

Tell me about why you, you know, you could write about anything.

Why is it that so many of your books are about American history?

Well, number one, it's just when I would, when I have free time, when I was doing

sports full time, I would always read about history. So when I was doing news to get a break,

I would always read about history. And it was just one of those things that I never thought that I

could do a book on it, period, until Bill O'Reilly started writing his books. And I said, wow,

Lincoln's assassination again. And I picked it up and I couldn't put it down. And I said, wow, Lincoln's assassination again.
