It means to be nice and listen to them and try to meet their demands, but make it clear that military force is an option if they make unreasonable demands and and refuse to come to an agreement. It implies that maintaining a ready military force is a requirement for effective diplomatic negotiation. The "big stick" meant US Military power, particularly the navy and marines and other possible sanctions.

President known for fireside chats?
Franklin D. Roosevelt used what he called "fireside chats", to explain current events in a simple way to the American people by radio. He didn't necessarily always sit by a fire, and on occasion he was unable to speak personally; actor Art Carney (of The Honeymooners fame) could imitate Roosevelt's voice well, and substituted for him on occasion.Jimmy Carter revived the idea of the fireside chat in the late 1970s, and gave a talk to the American people on television, sitting by a fire and wearing a cardigan sweater. Carter ordered the White House thermostat turned down to 55 , which at first kicked on the air-conditoning, but I think they fixed that, but anyway it explains the sweater.
