From the White House to War Zones
Before moving to his post at the White House, Bret Baier was based at the Pentagon where he covered the military and intelligence communities. In those five years, Baier traveled to Iraq 12 times and to Afghanistan 11 times, giving him a one-of-a-kind perspective on the U.S.-led war on terror. With gripping stories from those trips and inspiring tales from his experiences with American troops on the frontlines, Baier is one of the only reporters in Washington with the ability to speak from first-hand experiences in war zones while conveying an insider’s knowledge of the high-stakes politics of war.

Special Heart: One Family’s Journey of Faith, Hope, Courage & Love
In this presentation, Baier shares with audiences his son Paul’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. Five open-heart surgeries and seven angioplasties later, Paul’s example of courage and resilience has served to transform Bret and his wife Amy’s beliefs about what matters most in life – totally reshaping their definitions of character, faith, hope, courage and love. Facing the greatest crisis of their lives, Baier interweaves Paul’s nearly two-decade medical journey with Bret and Amy’s own path from the depths of despair to acceptance then to hope. Told through the eyes of a loving father and master storyteller, audiences will hear Paul’s inspiring story from a man who just happens to be someone millions turn to for the day’s news. Although there are plenty of tears and pain to work through, at its core their story is an uplifting and inspiring testament to the endurance and hope of an American family in crisis. Surviving every parent’s worst nightmare, Bret and Amy emerge—just like their courageous son—scarred but not broken.
