Bret Baier Reveals ‘Lowest of Lows’ His Family Has Experienced

“The day of Paul’s heart surgery we had a local priest come and pray with us in the little hospital chapel,” Amy explained. “And as we were praying, we were all kind of holding hands and I saw this vision of these beams of light all around Paul’s surgical bed and I just knew in my heart he was going to be okay.”

Over the summer, Baier gave an emotional acceptance speech after winning a major award ahead of the weekend, during which he revealed the “highest of highs” and the “lowest of lows” his family has experienced during his career.

Baier was inducted into the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans, which honors various business, civic, and cultural leaders.

During the celebration, a video played that recalled Baier’s childhood and early career before he became the anchor of Fox’s flagship news program.

The anchor discussed overcoming challenges with family, including when his oldest son Paul was diagnosed with congenital heart defects at birth.
