Show Notes
Earlier this week, best-selling author and Revisionist History host Malcolm Gladwell joined host Dave Anthony on the FOX News Rundown to discuss his latest book, The American Way of Killing: The Invention of an Epidemic.
In the wide-ranging interview, Gladwell challenges conventional wisdom on both sides of the political aisle. He breaks down why the U.S. remains under-policed compared to Europe, the complicated history of the Second Amendment, the reality of assault weapon bans versus handguns, and how modern emergency medicine has fundamentally shifted how we measure violence. Plus, Gladwell reflected on a decade of podcasting and why storytelling remains his ultimate passion.
The conversation ran long, so we only ran a portion of it earlier this week on the FOX News Rundown. Today, on the FOX News Rundown: Extra, you will hear it all! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
