so we should note grisham was with trump until she resigned on january 6th and she was promoted to melania'st wouldn't add up to poor performance as press secretary and she knows a lot. how concerned are the trumps about this book? >> they're pretty concerned because they're trying to get copies of the book. people who stephanie grisham barely knows are calling her asking for the book and it could be packed full of nuggets that are potentially embarrassing about people like jared kushner and mark meadows. one other thing, that part of her comment saying her failed personal relationships in melania's statement to me was seen as a very low blow by many in trump world today because grisham had two divorces and a relationship with a former trump aide max miller that went very south for her and trump himself has had two divorces and so you've never -- i've never seen a former first lady throw a former chief of staff under the bus talking about her failed personal relationships. >> yeah, no, that is just a low blow, low and wrong no matter what you think. appreciate it. >>> the fbi releasing state

talk, i want to talk a little bit about some of the intrigue when it came to donald trump and melania trump over allegations of him having affairs, including, you know, stormy daniels, grisham writes in this book after the stormy daniels story broke, i felt mrs. trump was basically unleashed. she had always been independent from her husband but now as a wronged and publicly humiliated first lady, she seemed liberated to do whatever she wanted or didn't want to do. 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 w

again, i think that melania trump is an enigma, when she does come out she's incredibly popular with ampaign with him? >> that's the thing. i don't think that this is a candidacy that necessarily needs that softening theme. usually the women are so sex ist and antiquated. they humanize the male candidate, they are able to put a filter over what he's like at home, as a dad or husband. and donald trump's constituency, never to me at least or voters, seemed to need that. and, therefore, i don't think melania is essential in his campaign. nor is she particularly relatable in that sense. i think she's projected a traditional -- some people call it coldness, whatever you read into it. getting to know her has been a challenge and thus getting to know him through her would be a fruitless endeavor, i think. >> it's fascinating, because it's kind of unprecedented, yet again, if he does run what it's going to look like. kate, thank you so much. >>> "new day" continues right now. >>> good morning to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm john berman, along with briann

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

she was bitter from a break up and melania trump falling in line with misogyny and falling in line with had her around for years, right, this is not, as trump usually does, who is that, a coffee boy or coffee girl. she was around in one capacity or another in trump world, trump political world for years, and look, i don't even think it's trump acting as a high school boy. i think it's trump acting as donald trump. that vignette you talked about harkens back to miss universe, he would walking into the dressing room to see all of the women getting dressed. it harkens back to him raiding women, giving them a rank of she's a ten, she's an eight, she's a six, so, you know, it's very typical of donald trump, and again, it just goes back to remind us what a horrible, disgusting, lecherous man was elected president of the united states. >> i do feel the need to read his statement on her book, which is too bad that sleazebag publishers continue to report this very boring garbage. we in the maga movement are totally used to it, and some day in the not too distant future, we will have our voice ba

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 really anything. and it's a legacy that she'll leave as one of, you know, this huge platform that she had. and continues to have an

we all thought we had seen it all at that point. >> melania trump had been with the trump administrationor so with stephanie grisham. she made her living taking down the people she's now asking to have believe her on all this so it's very complicated. one of the things she does talk about former donald trump's relationship with, vladimir putin and behind the scenes saying to him when the cameras were off, saying, when the cameras are on, i'll be a little tough on you, but behind the scenes we're fine. this admiration for vladimir putin but saying publicly no one is not to be case when they were alone together in 2019 at the bilateral. that was one of the revelations in stephanie grisham's book. a former president who was prone to temper tantrums, outbursts, calling people losers, pointing out their weaknesses. he had a special talent for knowing someone's achilles heel or vulnerability and would go after that when he was angry. he developed a taste for a particular young girl who trump would often call this young woman back to the cabin in the plane and one point told others to point out

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

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

stephanie grisham served as press secretary and chief of staff to melania trump and not holding back toxic culture inside the white house. jon karl has the story. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. when donald trump first ran for president, he promised he would hire only the best people. now yet another one of the people that he hired and put in a top position in his administration has turned on him, portraying trump as hot-tempered, abusive and dishonest. she's best known as the white house press secretary who never held a single press briefing. but stephanie grisham is breaking her silence and breaking with the trumps. in a tell all book entitled "i'll take your questions now." it's a salacious insider account of the former president's alleged misconduct behind the closed doors of the white house where she writes casual dishonesty spread as if it were in the air-conditioning system. his actions on the world stage, grisham sheds new light under the secretive 90-minute conversation between donald trump and vladimir putin at the g20 summit in 2019. shortly before th

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

she was chief of staff, spokesperson for melania trump. 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. . >> l

>> 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

new reporting about melania trump and her plans as her husband ramps up speculation for another run. >>> good morning to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. it is monday, september 6, this is a special holiday edition of "new day," labor day. no celebration for the biden administration this morning. just major challenges that have eroded the president's political standing. afghanistan is smoldering, covid resurgent, the job recovery severely decelerating. and this morning there are growing questions about when a vaccine booster will actually be available. top health officials have warned the white house that more time is needed to review all the data. school is back in session as the u.s. is now averaging more than 160,000 new coronavirus cases a day. that is 300% higher than labor day one year ago. and dangerously high level of community transmission in nearly the entire country. dr. anthony fauci says the country is getting perilously close to having to make tough decisions about who getting an icu bed. but hospitalizations have dropped below 100,000 aga

melania trump chief staff ms. grisham ended up resigning a few hours later on that same day, on january 6th. now, here we are. one of the two political parties in our country has like been trying to contend with what happened there in that attack on our country and investigating it and trying to get who was behind it and how we could prevent it from happening again. and on the other side, well, there's the rally celebrating the attackers. this weekend. so the fence has to go back up around the capitol. the leading republican running in the california governor's recall race says in advance that tomorrow's election in california shouldn't count and they will claim fraud and for good measure they are prepared to go to the ammo box unless everybody goes along with them on that. today trump himself sent out a statement on the california recall -- again, in advance of the election actually happening. calling it rigged. calling it just another giant election scam. no different than the 2020 presidential election scam. to

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 i

there was that time, you know, first lady melania trump wore the jacket to visit migrant children beingh had the thing on the back. grisham said it's a jacket, there was no hidden message there. that wasn't accurate, right? >> no, anderson. and remember, i think i was on your show and we were speaking about it. absolutely. i'd spoken to melania right after this. i was still in communication with her. and i said why did you wear that jacket? what was the significance of that? and for her to say she would have gotten the attention otherwise, i even said to her, well, stephanie should have jumped on you. figuratively and literally. and i said i would have jumped on you and not allowed you to walk out. and melania said back to me, "i will do what i want to do." but the reality is that stephanie wasn't there to have melania's back. stephanie was there as an ivanka loyalist. stephanie started out, stephanie grisham started out in the west wing. and again, i have a hunch -- i don't know -- it's just my hunch. that this might be ivanka's next step on her bid for the white house. having stephani

. >> they are is pretty think it's fair to say people had an opinion about melania trump's recent rose garden renovation but there's a history of that site which i briefly enumerated that describes the rose garden itself in the history of the white house grounds which go on for two centuries. 1962 was not that long ago really in previous to that time there were a lot of considerations for that garden. so the idea that anything on the grounds of sacrosanct isn't really true. the president and theru first ly are temporary residents but when they are there, they are in charge butt the good news is tht every president in every first lady has the good sense to tread lightly no pun intended and ad to it rather than subtract from it. this definitely includes first lady trump's resent renovation. rachel mellon, bunny mellon specifically and 89 she returned to the white house to spruce up the roads -- rose garden under the megan administration and at that time the original creator of the rose garden was advocating for the removal of all or some of those crab apple trees that were the crux of th

>> seth: it's so helpful according to a new report, former first lady melania trump has only been seenublicly once this summer. "also privately," said her husband. we had to put his picture up so people remember. [ laughter ] a diner in central florida, last week, began receiving attention online after it said it would not serve anyone who voted for president biden. i don't know how to tell you this, diner in central florida, but you already weren't. what happened? you got suspicious after somebody tipped? producers have announced they'll delay the release of the movie "jackass forever" due -- i'm sorry. they're going to delay it to next year. gosh, wally, and i had you put everything in quotes so i wouldn't stumble over it this is my "jackass," reading this card. [ laughter ] producers have announced they'll delay the release of the movie "jackass forever" to next year, due to a surge in coronavirus cases. though that would have made a pretty good stunt.

president clumsily attempted to justify his proposed plan on flavored e-cigarettes, by citing melania trump'soncern 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. gottlieb

books that keep coming out the latest is from a former trump press secretary and chief of staff to melania trumped stephanie grisham. grisham worked for this monstrous administration for years, and in the process, she seems to have collected some juicy tidbits for a lucrative book deal. like this one. >> she writes that there is a trump aide in the white house who was designated as the music man, to play him his favorite show tunes, including "memory" from "cats," and they would play those songs -- >> oh, my god. >> -- when the president was in a bit of a rage, and the music was meant to calm him down >> seth: i'm pretty sure that's the same thing they do at zoos to calm down the gorillas when they have an erection. "uh-oh, jojo's looking aggressive today someone play 'if i were a rich man.'" [ laughter ] of course, sometimes the zookeepers will accidentally put on some barry white, and that's how you end up with gorillas going down on each other at the bronx zoo. [ laughter ] aww, take it down. give them some privacy, for god's sake that's how graphic it was, we had to censor it because it's ne

and the first time melania trump wear the i don't care do you.ations with world leaders in 2019, like vladimir putin. the former president told i'm going to act a little tufr wh you for a few minutes but it is for the cameras but then we'll talk. you understand. one conversation ranged h gallbladders work to many deadly creatures of australia to why rich guys love space. and here is another new one. th mr. trump's handlers designated an unnamed white house findings music man to play favorite sho tunes and memories to pull him from the brink of ra because his temper was so intense. white house staff straight up lied to him, deals some inappropriate sexual comments, explained to staff or about them. she writes the former president's marching orders were you just dy it. that's what you do in every situation, right, stephanie? just deny it. with me, josh. good afternoon to you. >> how are you. >> i'm all right. tough to even talk about,e'll get into the contents of the book. u have to talk about credibility of the person sharing the stories. this is

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

a new tell-all from a trump insider said that melania trump said simply no when asked by an aide to send out an emergency call for peace during that january 6 riot. and former president bush has been weighing in. most americans took some time or moments to reflect on september 11th over the weekend. the president, who was of course defined in governance by that era, made the choice to do something that you may have heard about and is worth understanding when we think about all the partisanship. he compared those january 6 terrorists to the 9/11 terrorists. >> we have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders but from violence that gathers within. there is little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home but then there's disdainful pluralism and their disregard for human life, in their determination to defile national symbols. they are children of the same foul spirit and it is our continuing duty to confront them. >> there you have it. i'm joined by former acting u.s. solicitor general neal katyal and a

became very loyal and close to the forme first lady, melania trump, which is why some of the trump orbit reacted strongly to this book. it is not very flattering portrayal of the former first lady. then she moved to be press secretary, as you said. never took a single question. never held a formal briefing. then eventually moved back to the first lady's office. you know, a lot of these books written from trump-era advisers are certainly about reputation salvaging, of course. look, authors get paid. there's that, too. it is also made reflective of concerns about her future employment history being so closely aligned to the trump team. i'm sure, for some, it is a guilty conscience. maybe that's what we're seeing at play here. i should note two things though. the putin moment she describes in the book, it wasn't like president trump was tough with vladimir putin. i was at the summit. he mockingly waved his finger and said, "don't interfere in our elections." it was clearly a joke. that came across as tough. behind the scenes, we know he was even friendlier to his russian counterpart. i also
