“This captivating portrayal of Teddy is Bret Baier’s gift to us. From Roosevelt’s resilience over tragedy to his heroism in war, from his midnight rambles as police commissioner to his dramatic fights for reform as governor and president, Baier summons the irrepressible spirit of the man. What an engaging storyteller! What a joy to read!” —Doris Kearns Goodwin

From #1 New York Times bestselling author and Fox News Channel’s Chief Political Anchor, a fresh and fascinating exploration of the extraordinary life of Teddy Roosevelt, revealing how his bold leadership thrust America onto the world stage and changed the course of world history.

"As Bret Baier shows in this wonderfully readable biography, Theodore Roosevelt has many lessons for today." —Walter Isaacson

There has never been a president like Theodore Roosevelt. An iconoclast shaped by fervent ideals, his early life seems ripped from the pages of an adventure novel: abandoning his place in the New York aristocracy, he was drawn to the thrill of the West, becoming an honorary cowboy who won the respect of the rough men of the plains, adopting their code of authenticity and courage. As a New York State legislator, he fought corruption and patronage. As New York City police commissioner, he walked the beat at night to hold his men accountable; and as New York governor, he butted heads with the old guard to bring fresh air to a state mired in political corruption. He was also a passionate naturalist, conservationist, and hunter who collected hundreds of specimens of birds and animals throughout his life. He was a soldier and commander who led a regiment of “Rough Riders” to victory in the Spanish-American War, a show of leadership and bravery that put him on the national map. As president, he brought energy, laughter, and bold ideas to the White House, pursuing a vigorous agenda that established America as a leader on the world stage —from advancing the Panama Canal, brokering peace with Russia, and taking on business elites.

Bret Baier’s exquisite book reveals the storied life of a leader whose passion, daring, and prowess left an indelible mark on the fabric of our country and reimagined the possibilities of the presidency.

What is The Dragon's Prophecy?

October 7 unleashed a new war in the Middle East, a place where nothing ever seems to be solved, or resolved. Whose land is it really? Who is good and who is evil? How can good prevail over evil without becoming evil itself? Could the fate of the world, of humanity itself, be tied to this conflict? And how does America fit into the picture?

Based on Jonathan Cahn’s #1 international bestseller, The Dragon’s Prophecy, this film provides a secret key to unlock the problem and the solution. Cahn reveals that October 7 and today’s conflicts in the Middle East are an eerie revival of ancient battles described in the early books of the Bible, suggesting that we may be living in the end times of humanity itself.

The film offers dramatic, never-before-seen live footage of October 7, together with on-site reporting and interviews with major figures like Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. It also reveals the astonishing discoveries of biblical archeology confirming the historic events recorded in the Bible and the ancient presence of the Jews in the land of Israel.

Dinesh D'Souza

Dinesh D’Souza brings history, current events and bible prophecy together in a stunning and original film to illustrate the true meaning of October 7, anti-Semitism, terrorism, and the hidden forces that battle endlessly for the ultimate prize, which is the human soul – your soul. The film ends with an inspiring call to action to Jews and Christians to return to their roots and stand up for good and resist evil.

Born in Mumbai, India, Dinesh D'Souza came to the United States as an exchange student in 1978 and graduated in 1983 from Dartmouth College. In his twenties, he served as a policy analyst in the Reagan White House. For two decades, he was a scholar in two prominent "think tanks," the American Enterprise Institute and the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.

D'Souza has made eight documentary films, and three of those are in the top 10 highest-grossing political documentaries of all time. His best-known films include Obama's America, America: Imagine a World Without Her, Hillary's America, and 2000 Mules. D'Souza also does a daily podcast in audio and video, the Dinesh D'Souza Podcast, which is seen and heard by around 100,000 people daily.

D'Souza has written influential and bestselling books on politics, religion, culture and economics, such as Illiberal Education, The End of Racism, What's So Great About America and United States of Socialism. He has also published three books on Christian apologetics: What's So Great About Christianity, Life After Death and Godforsaken.

ABOUT RACE AGAINST TERROR: Chasing an Al Qaeda Killer at the Dawn of the Forever War

Two assistant US attorneys race to lock up a dangerous al Qaeda terrorist before he's set free in one of the most riveting true crime stories of the 21st century-from #1New York Times bestselling author and CNN anchor Jake Tapper.

June 2011: a man fleeing the Arab Spring on a refugee boat surrenders himself to Italian authorities. He claims that, as a terrorist, he is responsible for the deaths of American soldiers. This unexpected surrender sets off an unlikely chain of events and one of the most significant, but little-known, cases in American history.

When federal prosecutors Dave Bitkower and Shreve Ariail get the call from the FBI that the Italians have known terrorist Spin Ghul in custody, they immediately recognize the stakes of the situation. Determined to deliver justice for the soldiers killed in combat, they must traverse the globe, uncovering facts and evidence from thousands of miles away on a remote battlefield in Afghanistan.

Through intense reporting and meticulous recreation, from the battlefield to the courthouse, Race Against Terror tells the story of a man radicalized to enact violence, of the courageous soldiers who risked their lives for each other, and the diverse set of law enforcement, intelligence, and military personnel who work tirelessly to stay one step ahead of disaster. In doing so, Jake Tapper uncovers a gripping narrative history that reveals the true costs of the War on Terror and delivers a salient warning for the increasing threats we face to this day.

Steve Griggs has been building more than gardens for nearly 40 years — he builds stories, sanctuaries, and spaces that speak. In this episode, he pulls back the curtain on what truly separates pretty landscaping from living landscapes: engineering, plant science, personal memories, privacy, and yes — even the grit behind the beauty.

🔍 We talk about:
• How to design outdoor spaces that reflect who you really are (not what’s trendy)
• The creative + technical balance: when a design needs more than just flowers and stone
• Why privacy, storytelling, and comfort are just as important as the aesthetic
• Real-world tips: choosing materials, working with engineers, and features most people overlook

If you’re building or renovating your outdoor space — or just love powerful design stories — this one’s for you.
