Winter 2026

As Fox News’s chief political anchor and host of Special Report, Bret Baier is defying the narrative of television news’s decline, drawing steadily growing audiences on the most-watched cable news network.

Since joining the network, Baier has played a pivotal role in coverage of every major political event. He has traveled to more than 70 countries to interview foreign leaders and cover major historical events.

Baier has conducted numerous interviews with world leaders, sitting presidents, politicians and celebrities throughout his tenure with FNC, including most recently Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Department of Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, to name a few.

Ahead of Super Bowl LIX, Baier sat down with President Donald Trump and, weeks before the 2024 election, he conducted FNC’s first formal sit-down interview with then-Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris. The interview was the highest rated non-primetime interview in the history of cable news.

Baier is the author of seven New York Times bestsellers and will be releasing his latest book, The Case for America, in May.  Baier is also host of FOX News Audio’s The Bret Baier Podcast, which includes “Common Ground” and “The All-Star Panel.”

He was awarded the 2017 Sol Taishoff Award for Excellence in Broadcast Journalism. In 2023, Ad Fontes named Special Report as the most reliable news program. In 2024, the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans awarded Baier with their signature award for his commitment to higher education, charitable efforts and success despite facing adversities, and he was recently described as “the most influential news anchor in America right now” at the 2025 Semafor Trust in News summit.

Bret Baier joins us to discuss what he has learned as Fox’s Pentagon correspondent (including 11 trips to Afghanistan and 13 to Iraq), as the network’s White House correspondent during the George W. Bush administration and now as its chief political anchor, along with the stories he expects to be covering in 2026, from Washington to Gaza, Kyiv and beyond.

Baier will be in conversation with Gary Rosenblatt. Often cited as “the dean of Jewish journalism,” Rosenblatt has spent his professional life in the field.  He was editor and publisher of The Jewish Week of New York from 1993 to 2019. Prior to that he was editor of the Baltimore Jewish Times for 19 years. Rosenblatt has won numerous awards from both the Jewish and secular press for his writing. He was one of two finalists for a Pulitzer Prize in 1985 – the first time an article in the Jewish media was cited in the competition. He writes regularly on Jewish life on his Substack newsletter, Between The Lines, at garyrosenblatt.substack.com.
