madame first lady, melania, ladies and gentlemen and friends. it is an honor for me to be here with you in this veterinary place, the white house, for this dinner surrounded by friends of friends, who you were so kind to invite. president macron: [speaking french] >> [translation] this white house full of history, that the british burned down in 1850, and i say this in the most amicable way james monroe had the , brilliant idea decorating with french furniture. a man of faith. in fact, he was a former ambassador to paris. president macron: [speaking in french] >> [translation] dear melania, thanks to the gift you kindly gave us this morning. president macron: [speaking in french] >> [translation] mr. president, you just reminded us like we did earlier this morning, how deep, how strong and how intense the relationship is between our two countries. president macron: [speaking in french] >> [translation] this relationship, from the very beginning, is rooted in revolution that saw the both of the united states of america and the revolution that fre

melania trump has been called her husband's secret weapon.front and center. here's dana bash. >> reporter: former first lady barbara bush was referred to as her husband's not-so-secret secret weapon. >> don't care criticize george h.w. bush. >> reporter: now president trump may have found a not-so-secret weapon of his own. >> i just want to thank first lady melania trump. >> reporter: melania trump solo on saturday representing her husband at barbara bush's funeral, an event president trump chose not to attend out of respect for the bush family. >> i don't know how women can vote for someone who said what he said about megyn kelly. it was terrible. >> reporter: as her husband's controversies hit closer and closer to home -- >> i remember thinking, how can your wife think there's a 1% chance you were with prostitutes teeing on each other in moscow? >> reporter: melania trump is keeping her head high and focusing on first lady duties. behind the scenes, she's overseeing details of the first state dinner hosting french president emmanuel macron

isn't melania trump capable of making her own family decisions? should of any us be urging her to get a divorce because we think it would send a good political message? i don't think so. >> first of all, you have all the money in the world, you have your kid, parents have come over from one of the ssrs and you don't have to sleep with him, it's a win-win. howie: here is the cover of "weekly." i'm tired of the lies. for people to -- we went through the same thing in the clinton era as some commentators demanded hillary leave her husband. but nobody knows what goes on inside a marriage. hillary chose to address her pain over her husband's affairs. melania trump has a different approach. i chatted with her a few times during the campaign. she . . behind-the-scenes role. her marriage, spay whatever you want about the president, but melania doesn't deserve all this vicious gossip. president trump goes after amazon and jeff bezos. the laura ingraham controversy. howie: president trump knocked amazon stocks out by $20 million. i don't have to rely on unn

interestingly, melania trump is 24 years younger than president trump. so the 24-year age gap is another thing the two presidents have in common. one thing i should say about brigitte macron is she, too, is very interested in the cultural area. she's been to some extent a curator in this effort to bring representative french works into the palace. >> tom sankton, who wrote a very long piece profiling the french president in the issue of "vanity fair." you can read at vanityfair.com. mr. sankton, thanks for giving us your time this morning in talking about this. >> thank you. >> just waiting for a news conference to begin with the two leaders, president trump and president macron of france. it's scheduled to begin at 11:45 a.m. eastern time. we hear it's been postponed until at least 12:30, about ten minutes away from now. we'll take you there live as soon as it does begin. earlier, there was an official welcome ceremony on this second day of the three-day visit to the u.s. by the president of france and his wife. we'll take a look at their speeches.

and washington is abuzz over what an incredible job melania did.fficially for french president macron, many are calling it melania's moment. in the 15 months, melania trump has largely remained behind the scenes. her fashion statements sometimes speaki ining louder than her wo. but her role this week as hostess in chief has put her back in the spotlight. katie rogers, white house correspondent for the new york times. good to see both of you. emily, you write about how melania finally seemed at ease as first lady. what struck you over the last couple days? >> i think if anyone thought she did not want to be seen, i will point them to that white hat that she wore when the french president and his wife arrived officially at the white house. and that was a statement. that was a hat that no one who wants to blend in would ever wear. so i think she clearly wanted to be seen. >> can i quote, i have to quote your pulitzer prize winning fashion critic "the washington post." >> oh, please do. i bow down. >> the day began with the hat. it ended with a hat too

melania trump said no to that.t herself with her small team, social secretary and the white house staff. it has taken her months. she has done a lot of research. using the clinton china, the clinton plates that are gold on the rim. and some of the bush glassware. certainly done an homage of cherry blossoms by lining the halls with 1,200 stems. detail.d attention to every - i got into the room with a sneak peak and it did look beautiful. everything is gold. it had a feel of trumpiness if you will. >> her husband is attending and we know he would want gold at the very least. any idea of the toast will bring? >> i am sure well wishes and warmth between the two countries. we aren't sure what the president would say. we do know as you said, these two gentlemen have been getting along. a bromance between the two. it is going to be a friendly evening. not a lot of democrats in the house as we saw the guest list. however very trump friendly room. >> one known democrat, a governor. thank you very much. and something to watc

( laughter ) , i mean, obviously, the first amendment gives you the right to make porn, and the ninth amendment gives you the right to bea

melania is very calculated. in this sense the state dinner and the aesthetics and picking the cherry blossoms, making sure they were grown in america, deciding to use herbs from the kitchen garden, this indicates this is her wheel house. she's not so good at crafting policy, not so good at public speaking, however, she does know her social scene. she has several homes, she's entertained quite a bit, she's a former designer, former model so she nows how colors work together. >> this is her wheel house. >> aexactly. this is a smaller dinner. >> and not a single democrat in congress invited. whose call was that? >> well, typically the guest list is a combination of the west wing and the visiting country's diplomatic core, the state department has some influence there. so it's unclear until the final guest list is released just if that's, you know, if we're really not going to see any democrats at large, but we're certainly expecting i think the guest list to feel maybe as insular and reflect the divisive climate of

melania trump actually did something sort of special today too.rs from the white house who really adored mrs. bush and vice versa. one of them is a former chief maitre'd at the white house. mrs. trump invited them to come along, fly down and back on her plane and attend this memorial service, which was really, i think, an important gesture of kindness from mrs. trump. >> and explain why or what, perhaps, was behind that decision making of melania trump. and she has since put out a statement, you know, coming from the office of the first lady. i'm going to read it in part saying, today, the world paid tribute to a woman of indisputable character and grace. it was my honor to travel to houston to give my respects to barbara bush and the remarkable life that she led as a mother, wife, and fearless first lady. my sincerest thoughts and prayers continue to be with george h.w. and the entire bush family. but talk to me about that incredible gesture of bringing two people who have their close ties with barbara bush, the bush family. >> i mean, again, i t

thank you, melania. president trump: tonight we celebrate nearly 2 1/2 centuries of friendship between the united states and france. yesterday we had a wonderful visit to mount vernon, a place that is truly special in the history of this very remarkable riendship. [translator] president trump: it was there that general george washington met with the french general to finalize battle plans for victory at yorktown. many, many victories. it was there after the war that general lafayette returned to visit his adoptive father, george washington. lafayette named his only son after washington as a tribute to respect and love for his dear friend. [translator] president trump: and there at mount vernon, hangen on the wall for all to see is the key to the bastille, a gift from lafayette to washington. this tool of imprisonment had become a symbol of liberty, the desire for freedom that burns brightly in the heart of every french and american patriot. [translator] president trump: this is the divine flame which vic

this week the first lady melania was put to the test with big events. fisher looks at how she is doing. >> it's been one of melania's busiest weeks from hosting the prime minister of japan and his wife at mar-a-lago and attending the funeral of barbara bush by herself and executing her first state dinner. the former chief of staff to laura bush gave her an a-plus. >> for someone brand new coming into this process without having had the experience of being in politics before, she has done it carefully with great interest and respect for the role. >> for a first lady of fewer words than most predecessors. melania lets her fashion speak for her. her hat spoke volumes. >> it was a statement, absolutely. i am proud to be doing this. i am proud to be the first lady of the united states. >> something else stood out to mcbride. the first lady on the podium with the president. >> it's a position of strength. you are a partner to the presidency. in standing at that podium conveyed that. >> it also conveyed this was her event. the state dinner she planned without

kate, until recently melania seemed to stay out of the spotlight. think this was her opportunity to show who she is amidst all the turmoil in the white house? >> sure. this was a great global stage for her to step out on, and this happened to play into her wheel house. this is first lady that hasn't had the background most first ladies have had in history. she owns multiple homes, has a background in design. she certainly goes how to -- she's tasteful, knows how to dress. so i think planning the state dinner, which she did for several months leading up to it, which she did right down to the seat cushions was clearly something she felt comfortable doing, and that's not something we've seen her be, comfortable in her role. >> what do you think of the silver chanel dress she wore? >> we spoke to someone at chanel before who said this was not a custom dress for her. a lot of people are interested in why melania doesn't wear only american. jackie kennedy wore dior. so there is a precedent of a french designer wearing french. most of the fashion and art c

the first lady melania trump, the hat, care to comment?p understands that this is a major appearance for her, she's very much wanted it known that she was taking the lead on a lot of the planning on the east wing for this state visit. it is important for her to, you know, in terms of the role that she has as first lady, i think you saw that a little bit of barbara bush's funeral on saturday, she very much wanted to represent, you know, both the continuity in america, respect in america in terms of the role that first ladies play. even though the trumps and the bushes have a very complicated relationship, she wanted to be there. so john, you'll see that i'm dodging your question on the hat, but this is -- this is a day for melania trump. >> it is. i think the hat is striking, i'm perfectly willing to say that right now. and patrick, on an issue of substance here, i do not know which members of congress are at this arrival ceremony. we've been told there would be members there. i've not seen them. we do know there will be no democratic membe

first lady melania trump has engineered her own diplomatic triumph recently. as a dignified white house representative at the barbara bush funeral this weekend and then over the last two days as the flawless hostess of the french first family. including at tonight's state dinner. maybe melania will finally get some of those magazine covers that featured michelle obama so prominently and frequently. but i won't hold my breath. to discuss where all of this, we are joined by fox news contributor rachel campos duffy along with the publisher of catalina magazine, cathy areu. great to see both of you. let's start with you, rachel. melania has had to endure jimmy kimmel, mocking her accent. i know you apologize. that's fine. but you know, she's not gotten the cover of "vogue" five times in the first year like michelle. i'm exaggerating but you know what i'm saying. she has been scrutinized. the she's holding her husband's hand or not. it's unless. yet tonight we see a beautiful dinner that she did not hire or an event planner four. she did it all herself. all the des

melania hasn't seen them.you see president obama and michelle obama. you see bill clinton and hillary clinton walking in as well. all of the distinguished guests are going to be there. one at a time they'll be seated. this is a moment, john king, that a lot of us have covered all these individuals but they're now all together. >> you see the former presidents and first ladies. former prime minister of canada -- >> john major. >> john major, former prime minister of great britain. the connections to barbara bush. the hospitality she showed them when she came to the white house, the relationships that were important, bilateral relationships that became personal relationships that outlasted the presidencies or their service as prime minister. they continued to stay in touch. again, we're being repetitive, but that, again, is the character of the bushes. whether it's the staff member who they struck up an interest in who 20, 30 years later they're still talking to or whether it's a former prime minister who led th

but it's not just melania. it's also barron trump. it's ivanka trump.s the daughter-in-laws of the president. keep your criticism in a box or i think for me this is it, i will stay on this and i will roll tape of jimmy kimmel every night for the rest of my career. >> right u going after the first lady, let's put it this way, she had a 17-point jump in gallup as far as favorability from when the president took office to the end of last year. she is more popular than most politicians. most first ladies are in the end, jimmy kimmel should debate this with you on his show and you should have him on your show and you guys should have it out there instead of on twitter. that's what i would like to see. >> sean: i bet you would. >> i have higher rates rating. he has to come to new york. >> i wonder how many women in that show that he did were sexually harassed. >> sean: good question. the hate for the first lady continues. michelle obama is taking shots at the pet as we continue this special edition of hannity. maria's always on the go, taking over 7,000 steps

melania trump and hillary clinton couldn't be more different.rst first lady to run for office herself. she was a new york senator and ran for president twice and melania trump is not a political trump and not necessarily interested in this life. i think the fact they are both grappling this issue and handling it in different ways is fascinating and they have to kind of decide whether or not to stand by their husband. i really don't think we are going to see melania publicly do that but we are going to see her keeping up with her schedule as first lady. >> so let's switch gears a little bit here. what is she doing in florida? what has she been doing there? we don't really see her and the president together very often. >> it's hard to get a sense of what she is doing because they are so private. look. they have a 12-year-old son. and they are very protective of him. i think everyone can kind of sympathize with that. the clinton's were protect of chelsea and the obama's were protect of their children. i think she is focused on being a mom as her pr

president, dear donald, dear melania, thank you. thank you for honoring france, honoring me and brigitte in the french delegation with this first state visit which is commensurate to the quality and level of the bonds between our two countries. in turn, please allow me to raise my glass. >> [speaking french] >> translator: please allow me to raise my glass to all our fellow citizens on both sides of the ocean who fought for our values. please allow me to raise my glass. we have to be up to the debt and sacrifice. please allow me to raise my glass to the friendship, the unbreakable friendship between france and the united states. >> sean: welcome to "hannity." the french president macron finished speaking at the white house. the first white house state dinner hosted by president trump and the first lady, melania trump. the u.s. is now making significant diplomatic process on the korean peninsula and all around the world. we will break down remarkable developments put in motion by policies of peace through strength. by the way, someth

[ laughter ] >> at this point -- >> to be running out looking for presents. okay, but i got her a beautiful card. there's some beautiful flowers. >> seth: all right, let me say this, if you raided the white house right now, you might not find evidence of collusion with russia, but you would definitely not find a card, or flowers. [ laughter ] because if that's what you got, you lead with that, you don't go "oh, it is her birthday, you know -- oh a card, i got her a card." [ light laughter ] the timing of trump's "fox and friends" interview really could not have been worse for him, because this week there have been major developments in the cohen investigation. for example, yesterday it was reported that cohen told the judge he will

president, donald, madame first lady, dear melania, and dear friends. it is an honor for brigitte and myself to be here with our friends you were so kind to invite. >> we'll go back to jeff zeleny and kate bennett. jeff, this is -- why is this the first state dinner? is it traditional that it's taken so long to have one? >> it's not, anderson. actually, this is a little longer than most state dinners. they're so -- it's no question, though, that the reason that france was picked for this was indeed because the trumps were invited last year to paris, to the bastille day parade, and they were treated to quite a show in paris. i remember it well. that's why the president decided to have france be the first state dinner here. and, anderson, i am struck so much by watching the president there, talking about the warm relationship, the special relationship. this does not sound like candidate donald trump who often made fun of the french when he was running for president. this certainly is a sign of how he has grown in office, at least in one respect here. now

liberty mutual insurance. >>> a big few days for melania trump.ning first official state dinner of the trump administration without help from an event planner. and yet just days before the event, she was in texas attending the funeral of former first lady barbara bush. our white house reporter kate bennett, the first to report on the first lady's involvement for planning for this dinner. what have you learned? >> it is true. she didn't hire an event planner, which is actually fairly common in recent history for first ladies to do. michelle obama had that -- and barack obama that big final italian state dinner on the lawn that was tented, chandeliers, gwen stefani performed, a huge to do. this will be a little different. the trump state dinner will be about 100 to 150 people inside the state dining room at the white house. as we said, first lady planned everything from the menu to the chair cushions, that's what the social secretary told me. she's really been actively involved and i think a lot of it will have touches of the french american relatio

melania trump grabbing his other two figures.nald trump grabbing just macron's middle finger, super, super awkward. these are the things i spend my life trying to figure out, brooke. it's a blessing and a curse. >> is there any more you want to dissect from this photo? >> you have the horns and the middle finger. >> 60 degrees in washington when this picture was taken. i sweat a lot at all times. i don't wear an overcoat unless it's 20 or below. one other thing. i'll go from happiest to least happy to be in this picture. >> happiest. she's thrilled. i think it's probably the hat. macron, this is like a devious look because he's doing the hook 'em horn thing and then you get to brigette macron thing and she's like, wait, we're doing hand in pocket move? >> my biggest takeaway is that macron may be a secret kiss fan. >> we'll have to do a whole cnn special on that one. >> i expect that to be your next topic for your next show. >> we will be right back. so we swapped your car out for the all-new chevy traverse. yes. do you think it'

melania trump looked into all of this stuff. months planning this dinner right down to the very details of the flowers, the cherry blossoms in the hallway. she took her time and she's very detailed oriented and i think very careful and calculated. >> we broke the news of the hat yesterday on this broadcast which is to say we were on the air when she walked out wearing the big white hat. since that moment, a lot of people have been looking for a message there as if it would serve a sign or something. what's the story about the hat? >> i don't believe there are melania trump coincidences. i think she wore this hat for a reason. it's a, fabulous, and b, she stole the spotlight. she's had a difficult past few months here of, you know, the oxygen in the room going out to her husband and some humiliating headlines and i think it has been a difficult time and she really wanted to say, hey, this is my day, my weekend, my night. i'm going to wear this hat and people are going to look at me. kate bennett, great to have you with us. thank

melania trump's arrival is interesting because we learned that melania trump and laura bush and being mimi -- michelle obama arriving with the former president. and it's remarkable despite the attention that gets in the media friction between the bushes and trumps, that it might be overstated. melania trump sat down with laura bush months after her husband was president. i wonder if the media overstates that. >> the politicians have to forgive. and she forgave me, and when a & e did the birthday of barbara bush, she had me to come on to do some commentary. >> what was the dust up? >> it was the taping, the taping of the family and the bush family, which i did with permission, but then continued on without permission and it was a mistake, but it was healed because of her. because of her reaching out. i remember once in the white house, george h.w. bush, there was a feud going on. he said if i can sit down with gorbachev, he says you guys ought to be able to sit down and figure this out. i remember how bitter they were over the clintons. i had phone conversations with bush members, incl

so in a way this is very much plays into melania trump's strength.hat's why she likely didn't hire an event planner, which actually saves quite a bit of money. the party itself or the dinner is much smaller than previous state dinners we've seen towards the end of the obama administration when the guest lists ran up to about 400 people. this one is going to be a lot smaller, about 100, 130 people. she felt very capable and able to handle it. >> speaking of the guest list, this one breaks with tradition in that no democrats from congress are invited. typically i believe at least the leadership of the other party is invited to these state dinners. and so why? why is it breaking with tradition in that way? >> well, we won't know for sure until the actual guest list is released which happens at the dinner tonight. however, we've heard, yes, that there are no democrats coming except we did hear that john bell edwards, the governor of louisiana who is a democrat will be there, but we aren't for sure certain. you know, listen, this is a divisive political c
