Interview: Inside the Presidency - Bret Baier on Teddy Roosevelt, Trump, and the Making of Modern Power
Fox News anchor and author Bret Baier joins Mosheh for a revealing conversation about history, politics, and power. His new presidential biography, To Rescue the American Spirit: Teddy Roosevelt and the Birth of a Superpower, explores how Roosevelt reshaped the presidency—and what his legacy reveals about leadership today.
Baier discuses the striking parallels between Roosevelt and Donald Trump, from their battles with the press to their populist instincts and expansive use of executive power. Baier also shares insights from covering Trump up close—from flights aboard Air Force One to the current fights inside Washington over immigration raids, foreign policy, and new media restrictions at the Pentagon.
They explore whether Roosevelt’s “speak softly and carry a big stick” approach could survive in 2025—and what advice Teddy might offer Trump as he defines his second term.
