Summary

While Afghanistan has dominated the news this week, we did have a chance for some lighter moments recently. Throughout American history some events have remained unexplained or at least subject to debate. Some famous conspiracy theories that still get attention to this day include, D.B. Cooper, President John F. Kennedy's assassination and Area 51. Earlier this week, host Lisa Brady spoke with best-selling author and FOX Nation host Brad Meltzer about his FOX Nation series, "Greatest Conspiracies of All Time," pulled straight from some of the mysteries featured from his book "History Decoded: The 10 Greatest Conspiracies of All Time." The conversation was too long and we could not include the whole interview with Meltzer. On today's FOX News Rundown EXTRA you will hear the FOX Nation host explains why Americans especially are obsessed with conspiracy theories. He discusses the phone call he received from the family of John Wilkes Booth, the man who assassinated President Abraham Lincoln and the family secret they have. Plus, he weighs in on if he thinks in a few years from now if we will be doing a deep dive into the coronavirus lab leak in Wuhan, China. Learn more about your ad choices.
