Who is Brian Kilmeade's wife, Dawn Kilmeade? She met the Fox & Friends host at high school in New York, runs a clothing boutique in their hometown, and shares 3 children with him
In April, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade and former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo traded insults on X over their perception of 'SignalGate'. After US national security adviser Mike Waltz accidentally added a journalist to a Signal group chat discussing air strikes on Yemen, his carelessness sparked widespread discussions about cybersecurity and the mishandling of classified information. Advertisement Kilmeade claimed that the press was trying to make a spectacle of the controversy as a distraction. 'Watch @cnn @msnbc @ABCPolitics all try to Russiafy this #signal story – won't work,' he wrote on X. NewsNation's Cuomo replied: 'This is a propagandist,' which struck a nerve with Kilmeade. 'You are a discredited ego maniac who no one watches. Sorry I can't be more like your idol @donlemon,' Kilmeade retorted, alluding to the way Cuomo dealt with his brother Andrew Cuomo 's sexual harassment controversy and the allegations of ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon's misogyny. The war of words renewed attention on Kilmeade and his personal life. So, what do we know about his wife, Dawn Kilmeade, who prefers to stay firmly out of the spotlight?

President Biden's Dark Cloud Over The Democrats
Reports continues to surface about former President Biden's decline, both physically and mentally, before he ended his run for re-election. Americans will remember the infamous debate last June that sparked questions about then-President Biden, and weeks later he dropped out of the race. Now, tell-all books and articles continue to emerge with direct stories from Biden insiders who openly acknowledge Biden's frailty that they kept under wraps from the public. Democratic strategist and 2024 Biden campaign surrogate Kevin Walling joins the Rundown to discuss the fallout from those Biden decline stories now reaching America at large. Apple has lost nearly $800 billion in market value since the emergence of President Trump's trade war. The decline is largely attributed to the tariffs imposed on China, which have exposed the vulnerability of Apple's reliance on China for cheap manufacturing. Apple pledged to move 25% of their manufacturing to India, but is this U.S. tech titan already too dependent on the Chinese Communist Party? Patrick McGee, author of Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company , joins the podcast to explain the origins of Apple placing its manufacturing in China, and he details how and why Apple's manufacturing center became effectively stuck in China.

Fox News Host Seems Oddly Shocked By Laura Loomer's Influence On Trump
Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade said he hopes Trump whisperer Laura Loomer wasn't a factor in the president replacing his own pick for surgeon general. On Friday, Kilmeade reacted to Trump pulling Dr. Janette Nesheiwat in favor of wellness influencer Dr. Casey Means. That decision came after inconsistencies emerged in Nesheiwat's work history, but also Loomer demanding that Trump drop her. 'For some reason she was pulled from surgeon general,' Kilmeade said. 'I just hope she wasn't pulled because of Laura Loomer, who seems to be taking a bow off getting a scalp and pushing somebody away from the Trump administration. I just don't think she should be having the credibility to pick who is on staff.' Loomer, a 9/11 conspiracy theorist, had griped about Nesheiwat supporting the use of COVID-19 vaccines, which Loomer falsely claimed are 'killing millions of people.' 'I know @realDonald Trump likes people who go on TV for some weird reason I will never understand (I still love him), but we can't have a pro-COVID vaccine nepo appointee who is currently embroiled in a medical malpractice case and who didn't go to medical school in the US as the US Surgeon General,' Loomer wrote in a post on X. 'She is now being accused of lying about her credentials.' Just three days later, Trump's nominee was no more. And Loomer eagerly took credit. She reacted on X with, 'SCALP.' Yet to Loomer, Means isn't any better. Loomer wrote Thursday that 'basically the new Surgeon General is a total crackpot, a shroom consumer and she talks to trees and doesn't even have an active medical license.' 'I guess there isn't a single conservative doctor in America who doesn't have a history being a Marxist tree hugger?' she added. 'We are so doomed. Aren't we?' Loomer's influence on Trump has also come under the microscope because she had called for now-former National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and his then-deputy, Alex Wong, to be shown the door. They soon were. Last September, Loomer was put in the position of having to deny an affair with the then-presidential candidate.

Fox News' Brian Kilmeade gripes that Laura Loomer shouldn't have ‘credibility to pick' who serves in Trump admin
Fox & Friends co-anchor Brian Kilmeade appeared uneasy with the prospect that far-right extremist Laura Loomer has the ear of Donald Trump these days, explicitly saying on Friday that he doesn't feel that Loomer should have 'the credibility to pick who is on' the president's staff. Kilmeade's concern with the level of influence Loomer holds over the White House comes as the 'proud Islamophobe' appears to be taking credit for the president pulling the nomination of Dr. Janette Nesheiwat as surgeon general, which she described as another 'scalp' she had claimed. Nesheiwat, a former Fox News pundit, had recently seen her nomination as surgeon general come under scrutiny over reports that she embellished her medical credentials. At the same time, though, Nesheiwat had also been targeted by Loomer – a virulent anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theorist – for promoting the Covid-19 vaccines during the pandemic. Just a day before Nesheiwat was scheduled to appear before a Senate confirmation hearing, Trump announced that he was withdrawing her nomination and replacing her with 'wellness influencer' Casey Means, a close ally of HHS chief Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom Trump boasted has 'impeccable 'MAHA' credentials.' Means, who claims she now practices 'functional medicine,' currently doesn't have an active medical license. During Friday's broadcast of the president's favorite morning talk show, Kilmeade appeared to be sending Trump a message that he shouldn't be relying on Loomer to make decisions on who should or shouldn't be serving in the administration. Discussing Fox News anchor Bret Baier's interview with Kennedy and other HHS officials, which featured the HHS secretary dodging a question on his former running mate's claims that someone is 'controlling his decisions,' Kilmeade then brought up Trump switching up his pick for the nation's top doctor. 'I guess the surgeon general is not there yet,' he declared. 'Casey Means, she's gonna get the job, she's gonna fit right in. Dr. Nesheiwat is gonna be joining that team, and I think she is, I don't know, for some reason she was pulled from surgeon general.' Adding that he's glad his former Fox News colleague is still 'gonna be involved,' Kilmeade then said he hoped Nesheiwat's nomination 'wasn't pulled because of Laura Loomer' as she 'seems to be taking a bow of getting a scalp and pushing somebody away from the Trump administration.' In the end, the Trump-boosting Fox host wanted it known that he didn't believe that Loomer should be someone the administration, or the president himself, takes seriously. 'I just don't think she should be having the credibility to pick who's on staff,' he concluded. Besides Nesheiwat, whom Loomer had targeted for urging people to get vaccinated during the coronavirus pandemic, the self-described 'investigative journalist' had also recently pushed the White House to clear house at the National Security Council following the Signalgate scandal. Shortly after she visited the Oval Office, in which she presented her research showing several staffers were 'disloyal' to Trump, a 'bloodbath' took place on the council and multiple members were fired. While national security adviser Mike Waltz and his deputy Alex Wong were initially spared, Loomer took credit for their 'scalps' after the president removed both from their roles earlier this month. Waltz, who created the infamous Signal chat that mistakenly added The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg and included sensitive war plans being shared, has since been nominated to be the United States ambassador to the United Nations. Though Loomer crowed about Nesheiwat being withdrawn as the surgeon general nominee, she has also loudly complained about Means being named in her place. 'How is the top doctor in the U.S. supposed to give medical guidance and advice to the nation when she doesn't even have an active medical license in the state where she allegedly practiced medicine?' Loomer griped on X. 'Does Casey Means even have an active medical license in any state?? This is so embarrassing for the Trump administration.' She added: 'It is worth noting that Casey Means doesn't have a surgical residency, and isn't a surgeon. The term Surgeon General is interesting given the fact that there is no requirement to be a Surgeon to be Surgeon General. Turns out you can be a social media influencer and become Surgeon General.'

Brian Kilmeade's Logic For His Wild Trump Claim Prompts Internet Meltdown
Brian Kilmeade said Donald Trump is having a 'normal presidency' because he's met with celebrities and welcomed the World Series champion Dodgers to the White House. Just a day before the Philadelphia Eagles were to descend on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. to celebrate their Super Bowl title, the Fox News host chirped about Trump's second go-round on his Sunday show, 'One Nation.' 'I think in Trump term 2, people are seeing him as the American president, not the MAGA one. I mean, for example ... Vince Vaughn in the Oval Office. Unsolicited. Just wanted to say hi. Do you remember when President Trump went to the UFC event? Guess who walked over. 7-foot, 1-inch Shaq, Shaquille O'Neal. Just to say hi. Or, a World Series championship team showed up at the White House. Guess what? Everyone showed up. The L.A. Dodgers. There they are. From the left coast meeting the right conservative president. It truly feels in many ways like we're back to a normal presidency. You know, where you're critical of policies you don't like and supportive of the ones you do like.' Social media dissenters rained a heapin' helping of WTF on Kilmeade, noting the 'tanking economy' and the president's 'authoritarian' and 'super extra crazy' approach. 'Apparently all it takes for Fox News and MAGA to declare 'normalcy' and unity is a sports team showing up at the White House. No wonder the country's in freefall,' one person wrote on X.
