Summary

Frequent personal attacks among politicians, the tense redistricting wars, and the midterm campaigns that will follow will give many the impression of a country deeply divided. And in some ways it certainly is, with robust differences over an awful lot of policies. But in his new book, The Case For America, FOX News Chief Political Anchor and Host of Special Report Bret Baier argues that the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence serves as a reminder of how a group of people with strong political differences unified to found the nation. Bret recently spoke about that on the FOX News Rundown with host Dave Anthony this past week, explaining why he is hopeful about America’s future despite the challenging times we currently face. Baier also weighed in on the Iran conflict and how its political fallout could impact the coming midterms. We often have to trim our interviews during the week, but we thought you’d like to hear the full conversation. Today on the FOX News Rundown Extra, we share our entire interview with FOX News’ Bret Baier and let you hear more of his take on current politics, as well as America’s history.
