Show notes

Guest: Bret Baier — Fox News Chief Political Anchor & Author of To Rescue the American Spirit: Teddy Roosevelt and the Birth of a Superpower

Bret Baier joins Hot Mics to unpack the biggest headlines. Are the Epstein Files finally here to stay—or will they quietly disappear? Will we ever get the full truth, and could anyone still be taken down by what’s inside?

Then, the government shutdown—did the Democrats cave? What do the latest elections tell us about the country’s direction, and what does Mamdani’s victory reveal about the future of both parties?

Plus, Bret opens up about riding Air Force One and golfing with Trump—is the former President really as good as he says he is? You might be surprised.

We also get personal—Bret shares stories about fatherhood, his son’s open-heart surgery, and how it shaped his perspective on life. And finally, we dive into his new book on Teddy Roosevelt—what kind of President was he, and what lessons does his leadership hold for today’s divided America?

And in a heartfelt local story, Billy visits Vittorio’s, a beloved Italian restaurant that rebuilt from nothing after losing everything in the L.A. fires—a powerful story of resilience that’ll move you… and make you hungry.
