Chief political anchor for FOX News and host of the #1 cable news program in America, highly acclaimed journalist Bret Baier offers a behind-the-scenes nonpartisan analysis of the current administration, the political leaders and issues influencing policy.
One of the most prominent and intrepid journalists in America today, Bret Baier, FOX News’ chief political anchor and host of Special Report with Bret Baier, digs deep to get the stories that people need to hear. His nonpartisan, rapid-fire approach to reporting provides audiences with the substantive facts they need to make decisions about the future of the country. Securing the only interview with President Obama in the week leading up to the historic health care vote in the House of Representatives, Baier received high praise—Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan called it, “the most revealing and important broadcast interview of Barack Obama ever.” Baier’s extensive reporting experience as former chief White House and national security correspondent brought him through the halls of the Pentagon, to the war fields of Iraq and Afghanistan as well as to the campaign trails of elections past and present. Fresh, current and straightforward, his daily high-profile and cutting-edge reporting gives him the ability to offer in-depth insights and perspectives on the inner workings of government, the political leaders and issues affecting policy. As the anchor of the “must-see” daily program for political news, Baier co-anchored the most watched election coverage in 2010, served as moderator for one of the 2012 Republican presidential primary debates, and again served as moderator for one of the 2016 Republican presidential primary debates. His book, Special Heart: One Family's Journey of Faith, Hope, Courage & Love (June 2014) chronicles young Paul Baier's brave journey through the seemingly endless maze of medical procedures and operations required to sustain his life since being born in 2007 with five congenital heart defects. Three open-heart surgeries and seven angioplasties later, Paul's example of courage and resilience has served to transform Baier and his wife Amy's beliefs about what matters most in life - totally reshaping their definitions of character, faith, hope, courage and love. Baier donates all of his speaking fees and proceeds from his book to various non-profit organizations involved in pediatric heart disease research and treatment.
