Bill OReilly and my discussion on fatherhood is amazing – especially his stories growing up. Click here for our We’ll Do It Live episode.

Rachel, Don Yaeger and I spent the weekend researching a new book about Fathers and Sons. Our first pair is Theodore Roosevelt, the president, and his son/war hero Ted Jr.

The book comes out next year and we will have a special on NN – me talking a little bit about the Roosevelt story – one of only two fathers and sons to receive the Medal of Honor.
