Show Notes

Joining us on this week’s episode of Coffee with Closers is New York Times bestselling author and Fox News Channel’s FOX & Friends co-host, Brian Kilmeade


We discuss his latest book, The President and the Freedom Fighter. Now in paperback and with a new epilogue, it tells the little-known but historically significant story of how two self-made, accomplished American heroes from very different backgrounds, Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, rose to power and overcame strong disagreements to forge an unlikely friendship during the Civil War that changed the entire course of history by paving the way for freedom.
