7:31 am
she's out with a scathing new book, "i'll take your questions now: what i saw at the trump white house." she'll join us live in a moment after this report from juju chang. >> reporter: stephanie grisham was a close confidant for six years from campaign wrangler to white house press secretary, and melania's chief of staff, at times bringing her disturbing news. >> you were the one who had to tell melania about the former porn star stormy daniels' lawsuit. what was that moment like? >> that was tough. her reaction on that phone call was very, okay, okay. it wasn't surprise. it wasn't anger. she was very stoic. >> her code name was rapunzel. >> yes. it made sense to me that the secret service dubbed her rapunzel. she did not like to leave. she stayed upstairs a lot. the free melania hashtag was people hoping she wanted to leave. the truth is she liked it there. >> reporter: in her book "i'll take your questions now," they used a secret nickname to mock ivanka and her husband jared.
7:32 am
>> in the east wing they were ridiculed as the interns, correct? >> correct. we called them the interns because as interns usually are, they come into places and think they know everything, and they have a lot to learn. >> reporter: grisham also discusses one of her biggest regrets. >> i wish i would have spoken out more about -- about covid, about our response to covid, about that first disastrous oval office address to the nation which was not about covid or educating our public. it was about having him look presidential for re-election. i wish i would have told him, he needs to wear a mask. >> do you think that misinformation or dishonesty cost lives -- >> yes. >> -- with covid? >> yes. i will be forever -- i will always think that, and i don't know that you can ever forgive yourself fully for being a part of that.
7:33 am
>> reporter: grisham now lives in a quiet part of kansas far away from the whirlwind of trump world. >> you mentioned in the book -- you're quite open about this sort of dishonesty that was permeating the white house. there are your critics who say, if that's the case, how can we believe you now? what do you say to them? >> because i am so honest in the book. i spare no one. i don't make myself look great in this book. i'm telling my truth, and i'm hoping that people will see what it was like so we cannot repeat history. i am terrified of him running for president in 2024. i don't think he is fit for the job. >> and stephanie grisham joins us now. thank you for coming into "gma" this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> the book is a brutal read. you detail four years of toxicity, abuses of power, cultural and casual dishonesty. you stayed until the last two
7:34 am
weeks. the question is, what took you so long? >> yeah. that's a fair question, and it's a complicated question. i went into the trump campaign a true believer and a true loyalist, and -- >> you actually worked against him in the primaries, hadn't you? >> no. very, very early on, i worked on a couple of minor campaigns, but that's when the field was 15 or 16. so i hadn't worked against him at all. when i worked his first rally, i was absolutely impressed by the crowd and the reaction that he got, and i liked the way he truly was giving a voice to people who felt forgotten. as i went through my years, i spent a huge amount of time on the east wing, and so i was almost shielded sometimes from a lot of the toxic nature of the west wing and the administration. when i went to the west wing is when i actually started to see what it was really like and i regretted that decision immediately. >> you're likely to go down in history as the only white house press secretary who never held a press conference. did president trump order you not to hold briefings? >> yes.
7:35 am
when we discussed me taking the job, he had already suspended the briefings for about six months under sarah and he said, we didn't need any more briefings and he spoke to the press two or three times directly. my job was to work behind the scenes with print and regional and local. >> you were talking about this culture of casual dishonesty at the white house. >> mm-hmm. >> even if you weren't giving briefings, you were enabling that culture, weren't you? >> yes, i was, and i've reflected on that, and i regret that, and especially now watching him and so many people push the false election narrative, i now want to in whatever way i can, educate the public about the behaviors within the white house because it does look like he's going to try to run in 2024. >> do you believe he will? >> i didn't at first, but i'm starting to believe he will. he's clearly the front-runner in the republican party. everybody's showing their loyalty to him. he's on his revenge tour for
7:36 am
people who voted for impeachment. i want to just warn people that once he takes office, if he were to win, he doesn't have to worry about re-election anymore. he will be about revenge. he will probably have some pretty draconian policies that g on. there were conversations a lot of times that people say, that will be the second term. that will be the second term, meaning we won't have to worry about, you know, a re-election. >> you're right that you were concerned about a press aid who was getting inappropriate attention and comments from president trump. should you have done more to protect her? >> i don't know if i could have. there's not an h.r. department at the white house where you can go and say, hey, the president of the united states is acting inappropriately. i didn't feel -- >> you can go to the chief of staff. >> i was just going to say i didn't feel comfortable talking to mark meadows. i don't believe he would have done anything. i did my best of never letting her be alone with him in the
7:37 am
cabin and keeping her off trips and i did the best i could in that environment. >> you worked for the first lady as her chief of staff and she put out a new statement overnight saying the author is desperately trying to rehabilitate her tarnished reputation by manipulating in this book. miss grisham is a deceitful individual who doesn't deserve anyone's trust. >> i expected that. i expect more. this is right out of their playbook. when they don't like the message, they're going to destroy the messenger. i know. i was part of doing that sometimes. so i know -- she's not denying anything fully in the book just yet. i think she knows i have a lot of receipts to show i'm being fully honest. so i expected that, and i'm sure that there will be more to come, probably a lawsuit or two or three or four. >> was it a mistake to work for president trump? >> yes. >> why did you do it? >> like i said, in the beginning, watching how people reacted to him -- and i do believe he gave voice to a lot of people who feel forgotten and many of us, including myself, got into that white house and got heavy with power and became
7:38 am
really -- we didn't think about serving the country anymore. it was about surviving in there, and he loved it. he loved the chaos, and it's bad, and obviously hindsight is 20/20. i have no illusions right now that people are going to suddenly think i'm some hero. that's not what this is about. this has not been a fun process for me. even just with the statement you just read, the left doesn't like me, the right doesn't like me. i have gone back to basics. i have my family and friends and people can, you know, take this book for what it is. it's honest. that's all i can say. >> you write about the president's relationship with vladimir putin, talking about one meeting in osaka, japan, where he told putin, i'll act tougher with you for a few minutes, but that's just for the cameras. you talk about a conversation with fiona hill, a russian expert who will be on our program later this morning. you said she suspected vladimir putin had planted an attractive translator in the room to distract the president. >> yeah, she did. she pointed that out to me, and
7:39 am
i mean, i actually felt stupid that i didn't notice that because sure enough the president actually paid attention to her. >> it worked. >> and spoke to her, and i'd never seen him do that, and i never saw him do it again. yeah. >> how do you explain why the president was so placating of president putin? >> i got the feeling -- this is my opinion, but i got the feeling he wanted to impress dictators. i think he almost admired how tough they were. i write about a situation in the book where we were in a meeting with turkish president erdogan and he stopped me and said, stephanie, who do you think is tougher, president xi or erdogan, who was sitting right there? he was always just impressed by how tough they were and worried about impressing them over, you know, our allies. >> if president trump were sitting here right here, right now, what would you say to him? >> this is awkward. i probably -- i don't have anything to say to him. i would ask him not to run in 2024. >> stephanie grisham, thank you so much.

hear it from me. >> reporter: today doherty says she isn't just living with cancer. she is thriving. >> i'm living life. i'm spending a lot of time with friends and family, and working. >> your birth mother is standing in your house? when were you going to tell us that you found her? >> reporter: doherty bringing her talents to two lifetime movies this month, "dying to belong," and "list of a lifetime". >> it's okay. >> does work feel different for you at this stage in your career? >> i think work was always very fulfilling to me, but in a way, it's become even more fulfilling. a lot of people who get diagnosed with stage four, they sort of get written off. it's assumed that they cannot work or they can't work at their full capacity, and that is not true, and that is something that i would really like for people to sort of stop assuming and give us a chance to prove them wrong. >> reporter: improvements in treatments and when they're

given are known as protocols. they've increased life expectancy making living with stage four cancer for some more like a chronic disease. give us a sense of where you are in your treatment plan, and what's accounting for the fact that you look and feel so great? >> i'm still in my first protocol which is a very, very, very big thing. so it's kind of, like, you want to last on your protocols as long as possible so that you don't run out of protocols. >> reporter: in her 20s, the "90210" star was known as a difficult wild child. doherty says that reputation came from speaking up at a time when women were expected to keep their mouths shut. >> it was a very different time to be an actress because a lot of the men in the business were maybe not as collaborative with women as perhaps they are now. it was definitely more of a, you know, just get on your mark and say your line and do your job, and i think because of that i
8:13 am
was extremely rebellious, and i think because of all the names, the labels that were given to me, i sort of retracted even more into myself, and became even more defensive and even more shut down. >> reporter: but cancer she says, changed that all. >> you really have to dig deep to -- to face cancer, and -- and in that, you find all the stuff that you had hidden away, and it's beautiful things that you find, you know. you find the vulnerability. you find your trust in people again. you find forgiveness. >> you have been quoted as saying you don't believe in bucket lists. what did you mean by that? >> i like to say that those are goals because a bucket list are almost like those things you check off before you die, and i never want to operate like that. i just want to operate as i don't have things to check off

8:15 am
you toes to stephanie grisham's book. i don't know if you heard, but she recounted a meeting between putin and trump where putin had planted an attractive translator to distract president trump. is that true? >> it is actually, george, and thanks for having me on this morning. i have to say first of all though, this was an excellent translator. so, you know, it shouldn't have been just a distraction by her good looks, but there was chaos but there was somebody else on the list, a man, at at the present timing to translate for that particular session. at the very last minute the russians swapped out for the other interpreter. partly i think because president trump had invited in ivanka and his daughter as well as stephanie that was there, and i think it was one of her first days on the job with myself and any other translator, also women. but it was clearly intended to draw attention because president putin made a big point of basically introducing president trump to the interpreter which is something he didn't normally do. >> you've written a biography on president putin and you draw
8:16 am
parallels between president putin and president trump in this book. how do you explain why president putin was able to play president trump in the way that he did? >> first of all, president putin is a very wily and very savvy former kgb operative. in fact, one might say he never did leave the kgb. so he's extremely skilled at manipulating people and finding people's vulnerabilities, hence that episode with the interpreter. he always tries to figure out how he can throw someone off guard or how he can reel them in, or how he can, you know, essentially persuade them to do the things that he wants or basically listen to his point of view. >> the title of your book comes from something your father told you growing up in a poor coal town in england. explain that. >> i graduated from high school in 1984 which was against the back drop of a youth and employment crisis in the united
8:17 am
kingdom. there was mass lay offs across the board in manufacturing, steel works, coal mines, shipyards. pretty much everything closed down, and in 1984, 90% of kids who were leaving high school had nothing else to go onto. only 10% had something lined up, either college or an apprenticeship. in the north of england, really high unemployment in my hometown at the time. and my dad said, look. if you want to get yourself a good job, and you want to make something of yourself, there's nothing for you here. he said you have to go look somewhere else. >> your book draws parallels between where you grew up, and the united states and where you studied. >> that's right because in that period of the 1980s, the western industrialized world was going through a whole period of major change in manufacturing, and, in fact, that sequencing of the mass unemployment in the united kingdom that i experienced in e sovi uon colpsed in russia
8:18 am
united states -- and i came in to the united states in 1989. the same thing was happening in the u.s. of course, what we call the rust belt, all of the states of the midwest which had also been centered around large scale manufacturing, steel, coal mining, auto manufacturing, and the same phenomenon happened of people losing their jobs overnight. >> you draw the parallels between russia and england, and the united states as well. one of the other parallels is the deep division especially here in the united states and something president putin exploited so effectively during the 2016 election. what impact does that have on policy making and what are your concerns if president trump does indeed run again? >> well, what we saw is of course, understandably when people have lost their jobs, the rise of political grievances out of their socio economic circumstances -- and that happened in all the three
8:19 am
countries i wrote about in the book and i saw it with any own personal experience. when people are hoping that their lifestyle and their life circumstances are going to change, they're always looking for someone to change that, and if they don't have the wherewithal to do it themselves. what we've seen is the rise of populous politics. president trump came right out of that setting. president trump basically said, i'm going to fix everything. i'm going to make america great again. vladimir putin said exactly the same thing in russia at the end of the 1990s and said, i'm going to make russia great again and fix everything, and similar things are happening in the uk with various political leaders. the risk that you have when you have a populous leader like this, they're really just mobilizing the base of voters for their own purposes. i mean, unfortunately we saw it with president trump that his whole focus was on himself, and i hear that stephanie grisham was saying she hoped he didn't come back again into politics and he clearly intends to run, but i think the warning i'm trying to make there in my book is populist politicians rarely do anything to fix the situation for everybody.
8:20 am
people have to look to themselves to figure out how they're going to fix things. the risk of populous politics is that it short circuits our democracy because it's one leader saying i'm the only person that matters in this system. i'm looking to you. i'm going to take your votes and i'm basically going to run the country. this is the dilemma we're facing today. >> we have a few seconds left. was it a mistake to work for him? >> i want to work for the country. the biggest -- most proud moment that i was most proud of in my life was when i became a u.s. citizen. i took an oath of office to the constitution to serve the country. i saw myself as serving the country. i think it was a mistake to have president trump as the president unfortunately. >> fiona hill, thank you. her book comes out tomorrow. now let's go to ginger. >> thank you, george. i'm out here and we are celebrating on military island with these breast cancer thrivers and survivors from the susan b. coleman foundation, and they're gathered for "gma's"

8:23 am
we'll take that. we'll take that. let's get going. breakfast, the most important meal. your mom, cookies? really cookies for breakfast? >> yes, cookies for breakfast. they're fiber cookies. >> how long did it take you to get fiber into the conversation? >> fiber is the key. it's part of the new tradition master class. these breakfast cookies are incredible. they're delicious, not very sweet, and they each have five grams of fiber and these days it's not just about the total amount of fiber we eat, but it's important to diversify. fiber diversification is happening right here. >> how do you diversify it? >> these are made of greenish bananas which supports blood sugars. they've sprouted rolled oats. prebiotics to support our immunity, and it has ground flaxseed, the richest source of plant estrogen. it shows great promise for
8:24 am
preventing and reducing breast cancer risk. then, are you ready? >> yes. >> we're going to crank it up nutritionally with miy rachel beller nutrition morning boost blend. delicious. >> it's gorgeous. >> apple pie, and you're cranking up the anti-inflammatory and antioxidants. >> i smell it. let's move on. it's not a wrap just yet, but it is a wrap. >> it is a wrap. these are nori rollups, and think of it beyond -- it's seaweed basically. >> okay. >> think beyond what we wrap our california roll in. nutritionally, these are amazing and it has something unique, marine prebiotic fibers to support our gut health. they may help our estrogen balance, and we fill it with my quinoa. this is the power spicing blend right here.

news update but you can always find the latest on the news app and abc7news.com. we continue with good morning america. ♪ ♪ ♪ you know the music. it's bond week here on "gma." "no time to die" officially on the big screen here in just a few days. >> and this morning, we're kicking off a blockbuster bond week. oscar, emmy winner rami malek who plays the villain in the franchise's 25th thriller. it is wonderful. we just love having you here. >> i love being here with you guys. you know that. i think america knows that. >> i hope so. speaking overseas huge this weekend. tell folks here in the u.s. what happens, what they can expect. >> well, we did -- we broke some records over there.
8:31 am
this film bond, it's part of our cinematic backbone as a culture, right? it's woven into our history of film in a way that nothing else is. it's special. you get that vibe that it's special. it's palpable, and this film is ndil'sxhd citing.art-poundi ands done is bring this emotion that i've never felt with a bond before. he really gets in there, and he breaks your heart at times. so it's more emotional than any bond film you've ever seen. >> oh, wow. >> this one's special. >> you talk about how special these films are. you get to be a part of now this history you just spoke of. you just won an oscar a couple of years ago. >> yeah. >> and the big premiere for james bond, and i think we have some video of it, but royalty was there. you're hanging out. what has your life been like? are you having those moments where you pinch yourself about what you have gotten to do? or is this par for the course for rami malek now? >> i will always remember, t.j., being a kid and -- not a kid, but early on in my career and getting that first phone call of
8:32 am
my first job and taken aback and still kind of scraming on the phone. that still happens. it happened with "bohemian," and it happened with this. it never stops. i still feel like a kid in a candy store, and with "bond," what could be better? >> you're the bad guy. >> in "bond." >> in "bond." >> yeah. >> yes. yes. >> tell us how you got in character. >> it's difficult because i try to pull from some empathetic part of who i am to bring to this role, and i just started investigating the psychology of -- what brings someone to do such brutal, horrific acts. i think, you know, we saw one a little earlier in the segment, but he's distant from me. i had to reach. i had to kind of think, remove yourself from that empathy, and try not to make him this cackling megalomaniac. we've seen that.
8:33 am
make it very personal to "bond." i wanted him to be meticulous and precise in his kills. it's not about good versus bad or hero versus villain. i strike first and i strike fiercest. >> fascinating. wow. let's take a look. >> so here i am. the invisible god sneaking under the skin. >> you know that history isn't kind to those who play god. >> and you don't? we both eradicate people to make the world a better place. i just want to be able to tidy it. >> it's just something about you when we see you in character and it's like you envelop it all. it was confirmed you were going to play the film. >> yes. >> with daniel craig and you said, that's going to be interesting to go up against
8:34 am
him. so how was it? >> robin, it's everything you would want it to be. really. you see him one-on-one, and there is a very fine line between daniel craig and james bond i'm realizing. i like to think of the character of bond as being very altruistic. i don't think he's out for any personal goal or ambition. he really wanted to look after humanity, and microcosmically, i think that's how i see daniel. he's so selfless on set. he's the essence of what it means to be a leader, and he carries his troops with him, and he elevates them. it's great to be able to work with a guy like that day in, day out and pinching myself. and to have scenes with someone who elevates your game, but again, he does that with everybody on set. i mean, i couldn't say -- i couldn't say greater things about him. >> that's the fun part, but is it a dream to play a villain? >> it is. it is.
8:35 am
is it a dream to play a villain? >> draining. >> not when you have someone like daniel there helping you out because he knows what it takes. it's his world. you step out there, and if you know -- it's going to be a bit daunting, but he was always there. he was always there, and i know what that takes. so this man deserves all the recognition, and i'm talking -- i think a trophy should be coming his way, that's for sure. >> trophy coming his way, but a kiss was coming your way. you have to explain this to me. some complicated scene you all had, and it ends up with a kiss with daniel craig or james bond. explain this to me. >> daniel loves this story. yeah. we had a tricky scene, and i felt it wasn't quite working. i could tell daniel felt it wasn't quite working. so we called off the day of shooting which you can probably only get away with on a bond film. we went to rehearse. we sat down, we got together and started talking about the philosophy of good and evil and these guys sitting down maybe
8:36 am
having a glass of wine at dinner and we got to a really juicy moment, came up with something special and he just kind of embraced me and gave me a smooch, and i was taken aback, and i looked at our producer and i said, does that make me a bond girl? silence. >> rami, thanks for coming in. >> always great to see you. >> i can't wait to share this with all of you. >> "no time to die" hits theaters here in the u.s. this friday. coming up, midlife reinvention. how a teacher turned successful author changed her life and made her dreams come true. ed her life her dreams come true.
