the title is a funny reaction to melania trump's outfit.r them. >> clearly we care. >> martha: the magazines are nowhere what it used to be. they're vastly less popular than they used to be. >> vogue has had spreads of conservative women. melania trump represented so different an administration that wassed -- her husband, the president's comments about women, about minorities, about immigrants -- >> martha: joe biden has had similar problems like the shoulders rubbing and all that stuff. so you know -- >> it's not anywhere close. that is crazy. >> martha: we heard from tara reed, all of these people. >> she's never been accused of rape, for example. >> martha: that's -- we need to be very straight here and call it what it is. jill biden is very popular. kamala harris is not going to the olympics, which is interesting. joe biden gave a very good speech in the united kingdom. she's a rising star to be sure. tomi, thanks very much. >> thank you. >> martha: go home and read our magazines. a royal family member that will not be on hand when prin

some people have wondered if melania trump is upset that jill biden is getting such good. oh, you know for the most part good press in these first months is as first lady, but mrs. trump hasn't called me up to give me what her true opinion is so i can't comment on that. um but historians will say at a time will tell on time. well, certainly say that mrs. kennedy was very very helpful to lady bird. johnson as well, so if jackie kennedy was our third youngest first lady. she's only in her early 30s. she became so identified with the white house and how to run the white house and how to present the white house that she was someone that several subsequent first ladies. consulted sure. and our last question because this has come up in a number of programs. so should we talk about the presidential libraries first ladies materials? so before the national archives and i i might challenge i'd say before the presidential libraries where where does one find first lady the actual primary source materials. well my library to give ohio in can't know ohio is gaining more actual research

so it's really notable that melania trump wasn't given a cover.hows the bias of the fashion industry. and you had a lot of designers like tom ford come out and say they wouldn't dress melania. so i think this is kind of a return to some sort of normalcy that we're seeing, and it's legitimacy for the first lady to be on the cover of vogue. >> it's interesting, too, i thought, that on the cover, right, a first lady for all of us. that's clear the message that they are also hoping to send. >> that's right. and inside, you know, the piece talks about dr. biden, how fun loving she is, and it also talks about some of the struggles that the bidens have had, you know, trying to find time to spend with each other. and, you know, she famously would go on the observatory lawn when the bidens would have these parties for the press, and she would bring a water gun out and spritz her husband. she, i think in the story, they're trying to drive the point home, as you say, that she's really like, up know, your mom or your friend, she's easy to talk to, and much mo

>> would it just banish melania.ngside trump, i think we thought ultimately, we used to think melania and think blink once, girl, if you're in danger and we'll get you out. we learned that really she lacked empathy in the same way he did. what is so interesting, we're just at a place where we're impressed to have people who have empathy and who are caring about people around the world is something we're impressed with. not to take anything away from jill biden. i think she's built a career as an educator. that's what we want educators and first ladies to be. ultimately, i think we need to see melania and donald trump as of a piece, committed to the same type of lack of empathy. and i think we need to see what it means to rid ourselves of the kind of blight to america that they represent. >> professor, stick around. i'm bringing you back. and when we come back, social media brings out the best and the world, the worst in us. plus -- ♪♪ >> that's one of my favorite new songs. why does kim jong-un want music like this b

this is jill biden's fashion way of sending a message in contrast that melania trump was sending, and the message from jill biden is clear, and in the same press conference she said earlier today, she said love is the message is what we send to other countries or something to that effect, so she's messaging. she is a pretty good hype woman for her husband, joe biden. this is a role that jill has had and taken on for four plus decades being there for joe biden, understanding the matrix of a trip like this and being on the world stage, and it's interesting and telling that the love jacket was something she chose to wear today. >> we know they are getting all dressed up tonight to meet with the queen -- maybe it's not tonight but coming on sunday in the uk, and is this their first meeting with the queen? >> it is. it is their first meeting with the queen and the queen's 12th -- biden will be the 12th american president, i think have done the right math on that, and the first words out of her mouth are usually call me jill, and this is a first lady who is busy and on the go, and meeting t

can see melania trump has a very small staff and and likes it that way evidently so it they do have a budget the first one to actually be listed as a government employee that i know of the first member of a first lady staff to be listed as government employee was maybe eisenhower's secretary the 1950s so you can see how quickly it grew. i mean before then it was just sort of even eleanor roosevelt people worked for her. she had secretaries and all but it wasn't listed as an official government employee. our question from geraldine from connecticut. were you surprised about anything in your research for this book? oh, yes, there were surprises all the time in what can i think of as an example? you're reading along and you find something that probably can't go into the book but you it surprises you. what can i say? what's the most surprising thing? i was surprised that how influential. ladybird was you know in her case she left a very full record. she left a diary that her printed diaries something like 800 pages white house diary. she was the first one by the way to do that. i shouldn'

she also had facebook twitter pinterest and instagram accounts and a white house blog melania trump. fall into similar pattern of using social media especially twitter for her be best program and during the pandemic she posted games for children to give them something to do and there's an example here and encourage the wearing a face mask through a youtube video another popular source for her message dr. biden is already active on twitter and there's one of her tweets right there. lady bird johnson said that she would be a first lady of deeds not words, but in actuality she was a first lady of both as our most of our first ladies if not all of them since martha, washington. so small actions like wearing a mask hugging an aids baby or making a secret trip to afghanistan is laura bush did have rhetorical power even without words. so as the role of first lady has evolved. through changes brought on by societal progress for women in the presence of media. we've seen that we've had to stack all these types of media on top of one another and current first ladies have to be basically facile

you know she was close to melania, the author of the book, melania and me.back on prime time. >> thank you for having me. >> by the way, i wasn't calling you a liar in the tease. i was saying, it doesn't malter what people say of your credibility because you have proof. we only know what someone can show. and you say there is proof that there was profit motive here. that you talked to then president and his daughter about the same. is that all accurate? >> it is. i would like to add that the investigation into the inauguration committee is just beginning. so many people think it was so long ago but the investigation into the missing funds, into ivanka, donald, rick, don jr., all those involved. and as you said at the beginning about telling the truth, rest assured the documents and the testimony speak for themselves. so that is where we will see who is innocent and who is guilty. >> put up the email from rick gates to ivanka about an initial proposal to build the inaugural committee 3.6 million for the presidential ballroom at the trump hotel. is it true --

of course, melania trump wrote that, i really don't care, do you, jacket? different message, let's be honest. and for jill biden to then sort of use the same technique and say love, i think it's really telling about the kind of first lady we have here. she's no newby. she's not a naive -- she's been at this game for four decades and so i think, you know, it was subtle, but it existed. >> like you're wearing the jacket. you turn around to look out at the shore so they can see the jacket. see what i'm -- >> you speak from experience. >> well, women use fashion. you don't hear from first ladies a lot. the visual cues are really important. she's picked up on that. >> kate, wonderful. thanks for being with us. >>> texas governor greg abbott announcing his state will build its own border wall, but disclosing no details on how and when this will happen or where it comes amid abbott's ongoing tiff with the biden administration after the president stopped the border wall construction on his first day in office. rosa flores live in del rio, texas, with the latest on

yet melania trump didn't make the cover of "vogue" once.i'm pretty confident i speak for millions of americans when i say that i waited for years for there to be any type of coverage or profile of melania, of you, morgan, sarah, any strong women in leadership roles in that administration working tirelessly day in and day out and looking absently stunning the entire time but not only was there frankly a dearth of even profiles, not to mention things like annie leibowitz shoots but there was also a concerted attack and quite frankly vicious coverage of you all both personally and professionally. >> kayleigh: that's right. instead of a glowing profiles there were hit pieces repeatedly time and time again. you know, this is so sad that you have a fawning press corps like this, a fawning media, sycophantic glee covering members of the biden administration, they asked jen psaki yesterday about joe biden's cat, the washingtonian wrote a piece of the awkward feeling of rooting for the white house press secretary. we need investigative journalism, w

melania. don't take me. take melania.take everyone except for himself. >> you see my surprise there. you know, neal, the question then becomes, if donald trump then eventually becomes the focus of attention, it sort of brings us back to a doj question. there's so many things that donald trump seems to have gotten away with, and i think people have gotten used to him getting away with things. but if there's a purely financial crime, a tax crime, can he ultimately expect to walk away from it just because his money man decides that he's willing to go to prison for him? >> no, i don't think so. and joy, we'll have to study this new reporting by "the new york times," but to me, it looks like the first domino for donald trump is starting to fall. and this has been an inexorable path since the supreme court, 9-0, said trump tax returns have to be turned over, so these financial records that you're seeking about trump are now in the hands of prosecutors. we know that those new york prosecutors have convened a grand jury. they're

feel about the language that trump used against these children such as milani a going down there -- melania going down there with a coat saying i do not care and from calling them criminals and other such names including racist things. did you get vaccinated, and forth question do you believe biden was actually elected as president legally? host: several questions. guest: quite a few. when i was down on the border it was very difficult for the young kids. they were stacked in a long line on mattresses. it did not look that good to me, although the major region that we are unable to care for all of the children, and i was down there under president trump, we were giving classes in english to all of the young people coming across the border. they were segregated by sex so i saw classes for young girls. but, that worked out very well. and it looked very good. rooms, so i think president trump did a good job. i do not recall him using racist language to describe people coming across the border. there is no question they do background checks and there are people coming across the border with a c

and my second question is how do you feel about the language that trump used against these children melania going down there with a coat saying i don't care. other such things including racist things. third question, did you get vaccinated and forth question , do you believe biden was actually elected as president legally. >> guest: that quite a few questions. when i was downon the border it looked very difficult for the young kids right now . they werestacked in long lines . on mattresses, it didn't look that good to me. although the major reason why we aren't able to take care of all the children and when i was down there by the way with president trump we were getting classes in english to all the young people coming across the border. they were segregated by sex so i happened to seeclasses for young girls . but that worked out very well and it looked very good. there were rooms so i think president trump did a good job. i don't recall him using any what you call racist language to people coming across the border. there's no question they do background checks and there are people coming

when -- melania the time of day. you couldn't get anything done. host: congressman?there is an issue at the border, and in my opinion, as a result of hearing all of the other stories from the border, as well as what is potentially happening within the interior, i do believe there is a crisis. and i think it is important for folks like tony to know that everything going on now under the biden administration, the candidate joe biden said in a very lengthy campaign website dissertation on what was going to happen, all of this we knew. the texas public policy foundation, after the election in november of 2020, basically wargamed joe biden doing what he said he was going to do during the campaign. and we predicted this crisis at the border. so, this is not really news. it's newsworthy as it is today, but what is happening is not really news. i will address also a very troubling aspect of our visit to the border, and that was the sheriff mentioned that in 2020, they unfortunately pulled either three or four individuals from the water who had drowned as a result of trying t

and our media chooses to focus on whether jill's love jacket is really just a melania trump -- the formerst lady wore a jacket of her own in 2018 that drove that left nuts. listen. it was an excellent troll. she is sending a message of love, reunification. >> i'm glad you brought up the jacket. it is hard to imagine that that was any sort of coincidence. don't are clothes speak for us? >> laura: well, the print headlines. usa today called joe's jacket a symbol of unity -- jill's jacket a single of unity. cnn claims joe biden's left blazer sets the tone of the g7 summit. now, the only news. really come out of the g7 is that our allies like biden as in joe more than trump. unlike the former president, old joe would be submitted and not really require anything of our allies. of course, he will totally ignore america's national interests in favor of global concerns. the enteric contact huge waste of time. at times, just plain goofy, right down to awkward walk to the outside platform.

i think that melania trump's reception was not too good. but i think that first ladies make different choices on how they put their projects forward, they're very competent and when i asked her office how many people worked for her know they would have to give me an approximation because people were coming and going but also she had some full-time people, that she would borrow from agencies. people who worked on the beautification project, it came from apartment skiing from the department of the interior. so is a very competent staff that worked hard on the project. you look at the ones since then, first ladies after ladybird from pat nixon it was volunteer-ism. for carter it was mental health. you go down the list. some of them continue the projects as they want to the white house and some of them of course drop them. in general, those who did them well i think not only added to the legacy of their husbands, but they made a name for themselves. >> we have a lot of questions from the audience because first ladies is one of our favorite topi

and for that, we obviously must thank melania., i don't know how she did it, you know, i think she held a press conference one time and stood in front of a sign and the next thing you know, we be best. but, you know, this apology also made me think about why exactly chrissy teigen was so brutal to people to begin with. because let's be real, chrissy teigen was far from the only asshole on twitter, all right. she might have been one to have the biggest and one of the best at it, but being on twitter is a lot like when dogs meet at the park, there's assholes on display everywhere. and that's not an accident. like, what we have to understand is that social media pushes people into being their most assholeish self -- roasting people, dunking on them, that's how you get the likes and retweets. it's how you have "fun." it's how you get to be part of the group, and the platforms want you to spend all your time on them so they send you stuff to outrage you. twitter sees when a few people are attacking someone and put that in the trending

so melania mckinley felt that he wanted to raise care freights and he did and that wasn't so very easy now, i will say that mckinley was probably the greatest protectionist of our of our presidents and he didn't have what you might call a nuanced mind. he had a strong sense of what was right and wrong and tariffs were good and free trade was bad. i did tarbell the muckraking journalist of the turn of the last century who didn't like tariffs and didn't like mckinley very much wrote that he had an advantage which few of his colleagues enjoyed that of believing with childlike faith that all he claimed for protection was true. well, he probably did believe that but he embraced protectionism as his ticket to national attention and national prominence and it worked because when he was chairman of the ways and means committee in the house, he passed at that time a major tariff bill. 90 to rates were reduced under the democratic cleveland administration and so he praised him again as president. so that's number one. number two the annexation of hawaii it's hard to think of america without hawa

and then we have melania trump, her official white house portrait. which the white house framed and loaned to us. and then we have this beautiful portrait of barbara bush, and there's a little spaniel there next to her. one of the things i loved about this portrait, is that in the frame, you have to take my word for it but, with this image because it's very small, but in the corners of the frame, are little books. little open books, and i think this is really poignant, because for barbara bush, you know 30 years ago she founded the barbara bush family literacy foundation. and it is just fantastic, and in a way of her love of books, is the importance of literacy to her. and this is marked right there, on the frame of her portrait. so i will end with this, which is our website. which i encourage you to go to, and this is a freestanding website, it's associated with the exhibition. its first ladies. it's a posture yes. and we have all the portraits in exhibition plus, some of the hundreds of portraits that we have a first ladies that are not on view. we

i can tell you the first lady melania trump never sat at the president's desk in his private cabin.article, yes, they describe her as the designated driver of that trillion dollars covid relief plan. i don't know why you need a designated driver. we should have a president who doesn't need that. who can control it himself. they also say she is in charge of reimagining education, whatever that means. we are doing a ton of reimagining well, you are right kamala is lurking in the background trying to remind joe to bring up the tragedy in florida at an event. he clearly has multiple handlers, kamala one, jill biden appears to be the second. >> jesse: they call her the designated driver dr. jill biden of the covid relief bill. >> of a portion of it yes, but, still. >> jesse: we don't want to disparage the president he is obviously the leader of the country but not so obviously. because of you have seen it he even says it himself i'm going to get in trouble if i stay and talk to the reporters. he is obviously highly scripted. have you seen anything objectively that concerns you about his

this from the moment donald trump and melania trump came down that escalator at trump in 2015, continuing to this day the so-called newspaper of record. they have been stalking, never ending stalking of donald trump. the same with the three broadcast networks and two fake news cable channels. literally they have spent five long years spewing lies conspiracy theory, one after another, and a huge hoax on the american people. they smeared members of the president's family, they pushed the phony russian disinformation dossier that hillary clinton paid for. they used that to attack donald trump. in 2018 it was ben smith, my buddy himself published a "new york times" op-ed dealing how proud he was of himself forr publishing hillary clinton's and bought and for, dirty russian disinformation dossier. a year later he stated "the broad outline of what christopher steele was writing is unquestionably true." no, ben, it was unquestionably false. it was full of russian and misinformation and russian lies and you were a willing dupe in all of this. and "the new york times" and it didn't stop there. her

summer where the cottage is -- cottages, large homes, the bedminster golf club where donald trump and melaniain the summer. and where ivanka trump and jared kushner reside for a large part of the summer when they vacation. they're really quite close to one another. so there will be now physical distance will be closed between the two. both sides insist there is no estrangement, but certainly the people we spoke to said there is a rift. there is something going on here where these two sides that were really together almost every day, and jared and ivanka involved in almost every aspect of the trump administration from policy to messaging, onward, are now -- have nothing to do with what's happening with president trump right now. >> kate bennett, juicy reporting. thanks so much for being with us this morning. appreciate it. >> road trip? maybe a u-turn at the chesapeake house rest area, maybe. right back down south on 95. >> the turnpike, you know, the grover cleveland rest area, one of my favorites. >> many options. okay. >>> guns, violence, vaccines and broken cultural barriers. how the moder
