melania trump replied with one word, the word being no. believe what she was doing at that exact time 1:25 p.m. she was preparing for a photo shoot in the white house residents of a new rug she had selected. so grisham and her book said for years she defended her after being a marie antoinette type and yet, this kind of book excerpt tells you exactly what you needed to know. that she was not monitoring the capitol riots to make sure that it didn't get out of control. she was kind of continuing as if she was going to be first lady for the second term and so i think, five days later, she did condemn the violence but it was more after her -- another former confident had written an article saying melania was come police s -- complicit in this. >> in a statement today to "politico." her team said this is an attempt to redeem herself as a failed press secretary and unprofessional behavior in the white house. okay. so we should note grisham was with trump until she resigned on january 6th and she was promoted to melania's chief of staff after she

and i myself fell for melania's friendship.t people follow, people want to hear, people want to, you know, see but the reality of it all is this is about the trumps themselves and they're going to make sure to keep going as long as their base is following them and say and do whatever it takes to keep them following. >> beyond the snarky texts about -- >> can i -- >> oh, sorry. go ahead. >> oh, no, sorry. >> beyond the snarky texts about the arizona attorney general grisham was also apparently trying to facilitate overturning election results in the states. politico reports when grisham was approached by a lobbyist soliciting a $100,000 i guess fee to try to prove election fraud in arizona grisham forwarded the request to a trump campaign aide and asked, "any ideas?" i guess any ideas about making this happen or what to do. >> you know, anderson, anything goes there. there are no rules. the rules have all been broken. and our country is in -- we're struggling. we're looking for someone to lead. and unfortunately, by breaking all

tell us more about this. >> well, i mean, i think honestly this was always melania trump's mo, she made a very specific case to not have the east wing communicate with the west wing or not go off their lead. it became more intensified as grisham writes after the allegations of the affair. and i think it is interesting, people have this idea she was somehow trapped in the white house or crying in her gilded bedroom, my husband cheated on me, i think what grisham says here is what people said to me as i reported, she is not necessarily sad that her husband cheated. she knows -- allegedly cheated, she knows who she married. but she was humiliated and angry and what she didn't do is what typical political spouses do, which is sit down on a news talk show program, or walk hand and hand, in fact, she did the opposite, she demanded separate motorcades, she wouldn't walk across the lawn with him, and she requested that handsome military aides be selected to walk with her for state of the union, to be photographed with her, so she was very like melania trump, very calculated in her visual messag

this was a choice that melania trump made.pose, the big lie. and it's also not out of place, right? this is someone who despite i think sort of being first lady, she dabbled in birtherism, too, beforehand. so this is -- she needs to be held account for the choices that she makes. >> well, i for one am really looking forward to stephanie grisham's book a lot more news in it besides just this. >> and she triggered a response, there was a response today from the first lady who i think in typical trump fashion went after stephanie grisham personally, talked about her failed personal relationships. >> unbelievable. >> these are again moments that we have to hit below the belt and for someone to go after someone for a bad breakup. this is her throwing everything at the wall. my sources tell me that melania trump was completely blindsided by this book, had no idea that it was in the works, had no idea it was coming. learned of it when we broke the news last week that it was going to be coming out. >> that will be something. kate benn

trump did and what melania trump did not do on january 6th. >> yeah, this is from stephanie grisham's upcoming book, apparently a tell-all about her time in the trump white house, where he was press secretary and melania trump's chief of staff. and during the insurrection, as the capitol was being stormed by trump supporters, and they had breached the gates, she had texted the first lady and said, do you want to tweet out, peaceful protest is fine but no violence and keep it down, people? and she wrote back a one-word answer. "no." she had no interest in stepping into what was happening on january 6th. and it's not something that she's shy about. she has before or had before come out against things, the president said. she had been the voice, at times, of reason, so this was clearly a marker where she didn't want to get involved. she was that day conducting a photo shoot of a carpet. >> tell me about this carpet. >> so, priorities. >> exactly. so i think it's really telling. listen, the last few -- i would stress, months of the trump administration, we saw melania trump do barely real

she was former president trump's press secretary, and then chief of staff for first lady melania trumper the january 6th insurrection. now, please remember, stephanie grisham never held a press briefing as press secretary. but now she's ready to talk in a new tell-all memoir, which details her time inside the trump white house. in one passage, grisham recalls how trump kacatered to presiden vladimir putin telling him i'm going to act a little tough for you for a few minutes but they're for the cameras. after they leave, we'll talk. you understand? that's not a surprise, anna. when we talked about this, you and i, often, that he was so differential to vladimir putin. president trump was a super fan of vladimir putin's. now we know that whatever bluster he claimed, that he was so tough on vladimir putin, beforehand he whispered to vladimir putin, i'm faking it right now. >> you know, i feel like there's not much in this book that we didn't know about. it's just reminding us of all the dysfunction we already knew about and saw in front of us. i am troubled by the book, the nature of the b

none of that from melania trump.al seal. nothing from her. she's not a prolific presence. she wasn't when she was first lady. she wasn't during the 2016 campaign. what i learned writing this piece and talking to some people who knew her before during and now afteris she has no interest in doing it again. if donald trump wants to run for president, i don't think we're going to see melania trump out there with him. >> why is that? >> she's -- >> she's just not that into it. >> she is in way but some people said it was a chapter in her life. it's over. she's incredibly private. it's catch 22 of herp sayi ingh don't know me. this is gossip when people try to report on her. at the same time she never sat down for an interview. she did less than five on camera interview. two of those i wouldn't call interview. they were on another network. zero print interviews. it's very challenging to get to know someone and understand what is keeping her behind the scenes would you tell us letting the public know. i will say this, the t

this is not so much of a surprise that melania trump said no. the time that she was photographing a carpet inside the white house on the day of the insurrection and telling her, hey, this is an opportunity for your husband's followers to listen to you as this insurrection is mapping. call for peace, and she simply didn't want to do that. as we're looking ear stephanie gresham offered a substantiate tweet that the first lady could simply post, and it really wasn' wasn't, checked out of washington, checked out of the job. disinterested in saying anything publicly to calm or placate the mood in the country, which as we remember is very tu mull chow yous becaus-- and. >> and that's one of the bomb shells apparently in the new book. we'll see what else comes of it. thank you, kate bennett. >>> bracing for a tense day on capitol hill. minutes from now, secretary of state, antony blinken will face questions from lawmakers about the chaotic end to america's involvement in afghanistan. asking questions today, joins us next. ld stay fresh for weeks? now t

grisham also served as melania trump's press secretary and chief of staff.st lady was hesitant to leave the white house earning her the nickname rapunzel from secret service agents. a trump spokesperson calls grisham another disgruntled former employee. melania trump says this is a reflection of a poor employee from the white house. this is someone melania trump hired. >> she worked through the campaign, all but the last several days of the trump presidency. what changed? >> reporter: you have to understand stephanie grisham worked for donald trump longer than anyone else, in the early days of the campaign. she resigned on january 6th of this year. she resigned she said because she asked melania trump if she wanted to put out a statement condemning the violence during the insurrection and that the first lady refused. that was the last straw. >> jon karl, thank you very much. stephanie grisham will join us live on monday for to the inves into the disappearance of jelani day. >> reporter: the family of jelani day says they want to know what happened to him. th

she was chief of staff, spokesperson for melania trump.t that mrs. trump was basically unleashed. she had always been independent from her husband. now as a wronged and publicly humimiliated first lady, she seemed liberated to do whatever she wanted or didn't want, to do. >> it made sure seem more human. she was the least transparent first lady we have ever had. so little is known about her. and the fact that she was upset with her husband for cheating on her but also publicly embarrassing her makes sure seem like a living, breathing person. and so in a way it's actually a sympathetic portrayal of melania trump >> do you think it's deserved? >> yes, absolutely. no, i think she should have been humiliated, obviously. but i think there is a level of sympathy you can have for what she went through. but i also think that she squandered so much opportunity in that job. she really just could have done so much more as first lady. and the whole be best campaign, no one knew what it was about. i'm not sure if stephanie knew what it was about. . >>

i myself fell for melania's friendship. that people follow, people want to hear, people want to see. the reality is, this is about the trumps and themselves. they are going to make sure to keep going as long as their base is following them and say and do whatever to keep them following. >> beyond snark -- go ahead. >> sorry. >> grisham was trying to facilitate overturning the election results. politico reports that she was approached by a lobbyist soliciting a $100,000 fee to try to prove election fraud in arizona, grisham forwarded the request to an aide and asked, any ideas? >> you know, anderson, anything goes there. there are no rules. the rules have been broken. our country is in -- we are struggling. we are looking for someone to lead. unfortunately, by breaking all the rules all the time, people are starting to wonder, our children especially, who are the leaders of today and who are the leaders of tomorrow ? we're not getting that now because of people like her who are willing to break the rules to stay within that

and she also makes the point that her time with then-first lady melania trump made it very clear thateir health. you'll recall that the former-first lady had her own visit to walter reed where she was treated for a kidney condition. which, um, grisham does not write about in this book but, yes, she chalks it up to then-president trump's delusions of his own invincibility to paraphrase her writing. >> which is interesting. um, you know, the whole book, i do want to point out, this is a press secretary who never talked to the press. so, um, you know, i just think it's important. nobody -- nobody can confuse here that she is some whistle-blower. you know, during -- during all this time. >> i think that's important to point out. i think that's really important to point out and she is also -- if you read the book which i did -- she -- she points out several times where what she told the press was actually not what was really happening. um, case in point, when melania trump wore the i don't really care, do you jacket to the texas border facility. do you remember they said at the time it's j

>> not unlike 2016 melania trump has no intention really of joining the campaign or being a prolificot really even interested in being in the white house again going through being first lady again. we know she's an extremely private person and that being in the public eye wasn't necessarily something she wanted to do in the first place. she's retreated now back to mar-a-lago being a mom, et cetera. and she really has no interest in helping her husband with his perceived, as we all know, his political ambitions. >> is this not a conversation that's happening? >> i don't think that's how they operate. people are under the misconception that this is a couple that don't spend time together, they don't talk. that's not true. they have very independent lives, but they do consult one another. in 2016 when she was asked to do events, asked to go on campaign events and rallies, the answer was no so often that people on trump's campaign just stopped asking her because it was always going to be a no. and we'll see that again this time around. >> we haven't really seen her make any public appear

one of the details we learned of is melania trump was asleep on election night. that she had to be woken up for then president trump's concession speech. >> it wasn't a concession speech. >> non-concession speech. that's weird, s.e., weird. >> i don't know. i imagine i would have wanted to sleep through a lot of that administration and my marriage to donald trump. i'm sure she, you know, had a headache a lot of nights. i'm not all that surprised, honestly. she was not very engaged and i don't know how to read that. i'm not going to put her on the couch. >> come on, s.e. >> was she confident he was going to win or she knew he wasn't? i don't know. but melania is such an interesting mystery wrapped in a riddle in an enigma, right? she's just very hard to unfold. but the sleeping through part, i get, i completely get. >> there's disengaged and then there's asleep. they're two different -- >> i would have retreat today my bedroom, too, and said, wake me when it's over. i'm sure it was a lot for her, you know, just all of the ups and downs and the craziness. i'm sure

love to melania.ry about that [ laughter ] i just -- i think he has a lot of free time right now anyway, back to congress we're living in a time of asymmetric partisan fighting in politics we have two sides, one of which cares about competent governance, and the other, which is willing to burn everything down to gain power i mean, just look at the difference in styles between biden and trump. biden would literally cut himself off during primary debates if his answers went on too long, and trump will spend an hour at a rally meandering aimlessly about bobby knight or pavarotti, or some other b-list celebrity he met one time at the 21 club. "luciano pavarotti oh, he could sing. he could sing and he loved food. loved to eat one time, i saw him eat two entrees and a centerpiece. anyway, make america great again. bernie sanders and the progressive caucus in the house are, as we speak, standing firm in their fight to advance a transformative $3.5 trillion bill that would invest in everything from education,

[ laughter ] the former ceo of amazon and future resident of mars jeff bezos made a big announcement yesterday. bezos is donating a billion dollars to protect 30% of earth's land and sea. which sounds like a lot until you realize he's worth $200 billion. why not spend another $3 billion, protect 100% of the earth's land and sea? [ applause ] you'd still have like $196 billion. of course, what he doesn't mention is he's protecting the earth from himself. [ laughter ] is it possible to destroy the planet and save it at the same time? jeff bezos is the only guy who's so rich that when you hear he donated a billion dollars to charity, you're like, "what a cheap bastard." [ laughter and applause ] this wasn't cheap either. here in l.a., the clippers broke ground on their new 1.8 billion dollar stadium in inglewood. they had a party. a band, at this times and the tantrums, were there to celebrate. kawhi l

i think it's fair to say that people have an opinion about melania trump's recent rose garden renovation. but hopefully as the history of that site, which i just briefly numerated, described the rose garden itself as a fairly, in the grand history of the white house grounds which go on for more than two centuries, 1962 is not that long ago really. and previous to that time there were a lot of different iterations of that garden. so the idea that anything that's on the ground is sacrosanct isn't really true. the president and the first lady, they're temporary residents. but when they're there, they're in charge. but the good news is that every president and every first lady has had the good sense to tread lightly -- no pun intended -- on the grounds and respect to the history and add to it rather than subtract from it. and this definitely includes first lady trump's recent renovation. rachel lambert mellon, bunny mellon, specifically even in 1989 she returned to the white house to spruce up the rose garden under the reagan administration. and at that time, even mrs. mellon, the original c

then president clumsily attempted to justify his proposed plan on flavored e-cigarettes, by citing melaniarump's concern about their teenage son barron. >> vaping has become a very big business, as i understand it. we can't have our youth be so affected. that's how the first lady got involved. she has a son that is a beautiful young man and she feels very, very strongly about it. >> she's got a son, dot, dot, dot, together -- nice save, dead. [laughs] that was september 2019 but the seed for that vaping bland was planted earlier. scott gottlieb declared youth vaping an epidemic. flavored vape cartridges were causing a surge in addiction. saying teenagers are becoming regular users. no one can look at the data and say there is no problem. he demanded that the faith companies take steps to curb use among children and curb access to the highly addictive products. scott gottlieb, in one sense, fit the mold of a trump administration. a venture capitalist with strong ties to big pharma. on the other hand, this kind of aggressive regulatory action was not something you saw a lot of under trump. g
