melania trump. here here good evening. it seems like just yesterday that we were at our first convention where my husband accepted the republican nomination and then became our 4th president of the united states. yet the energy and enthusiasm for who should lead this nation it is real today as it was four years ago. i know i speak for my husband and the entire family when i say we have not forgotten the incredible people. who are willing to take a chance? on the businessman who had never worked in politics we know it was you who elected him to be commander in chief? and we know it is you who will carry us through again. we were humbled by the incredible support then and we are still grateful today. i want to acknowledge the fact that since march our lives have changed drastically. the invisible enemy covid-19 swept across our beautiful country an impacted all of us my deepest sympathy goes out to everyone. who has lost a loved one? and my prayers with those who are ill or suffering? i know many people are anxious. and some

evening i look forward to for each year. >> this is american history tv and you are listening to melania trump as the fall 2020 presidential campaign was still underway, the first lady traveled to pennsylvania on behalf of her husband, president donald trump. >> ladies and gentlemen, it is my great honor and privilege to welcome to our stage, our first lady, melania trump. ♪ ♪ ♪ [applause] >> melania! >> thank you, --. hello, pennsylvania. [applause] thank you all for the very warm welcome, and to our friend congressman smucker for joining us today. >> we love you! >> i love you, too. thank you. before i begin, thank you for all the love and support you gave us when our family was diagnosed with covid-19. we are all feeling so much better now thanks to healthy living and some of the amazing therapeutic options available in our country. thank you again for your well wishes. since early this year, our country has felt the effects of global pandemic. like many of, you i have experienced the firsthand effects of covid-19, not only as a patient, but as a worried mother and wife. i know there are ma

lady goes to the hurricane. >> one of the most infuriating to see how corporate media treated melania trump her husband, donald trump, they would go out of their way to criticize all of her fashion choices, which would be bad even if she weren't one of the most beautiful women on earth, most glamorous, yet that's what we experienced and sandwiched between what we saw with the treatment of michelle obama and jill biden. two women do a great job with fashion but the media are overt in the praise of these women and when they had an actual supermodel they could not say anything. >> like she was a model, she was a supermodel and she gets no credit for her attire, it's always tacky, you think it's kinds of crazy. move on to elon musk, elon musk tweeted about crimea, that maybe russia should keep crimea and then the editor of the global times, state run tabloid in china says he has released his personality too much and believes too much in the u.s. and the west freedom of speech. he will be taught a lesson. this is the same editor, by the way, who said nancy pelosi should be punished for going to

i boarded the black suv with donald and melania trump to go to st. louis. he was all in and he was all it not just for his wife but for donald trump as president. now he change his mind but not after a full year of visiting the white house as a guest of donald and melania trump, doings cool things with his kids. we went to dinner at gerrit anabolic as house all your later. later. that's all fine but the facts matter. the facts matter and you know what, donna, i just do not choose to live my life online. i choose to live my life off-line and don't think people who don't know you on social media are necessarily your friends. lots of them want to be your enemy but they're not youram friends and i just take for my friends and my family off-line and thank god i've got a great posse of them. k >> host: i know we can go more and more deeper into this conversation about the tweeting and george and the former president referring to him as mr. kellyanne conway. there's a lot there that i didn't know you were in during. it must be gratifying that you are away from some

i boarded the the black suv with donald melania trump to go to st. louis. e was all in and he was all in not just for his wife, but for donald trump as president now he changed his mind but not after a full year of visiting the white house as a guest at donald melania trump. i'm doing cool things with his kids there. we went to dinner at jared and ivanka kushner's house a whole year later. that's all fine. but the facts matter the facts matter and you know, what donna i just do not choose to live my life online. i choose my life to live my life offline, and i don't think people who don't know you on social media are necessarily your friends. i mean lots of them want to be your enemy, but they're not your friends and i just i just take for my friends and my family offline and thank god, you know, i've got a great a great policy of them, you know, we more and more deeper into this conversation about the tweet and george and and the former president referring to him is you know, mr. kellyanne conway. i mean there's a lot there that i didn't know you were enduri

this bit about pressuring someone to give melania trump shares is staggering and hard to explain away. he has significant legal problems. people should not forget this s.e.c. investigation. it was not shocking. >> chris christie, meantime, we also had in the middle of the week this report that according to someone close to trump working at mar-a-lago he was told to move the documents after president trump was under subpoena. that's obstruction. >> well, yes, and, you know, look, none of us, i think, who know him are surprised, he wanted to keep these documents as a trophy. that's what they were. more than anything. >> not leverage of any kind. >> i don't think so. i think it's much more likely they're a trophy that he walks around and says, look, i've got this. i've got this classified document or that because remember something, he can't believe he's not president. he can't believe he still doesn't get these documents and he needs to display to everybody down at mar-a-lago or up in bedminster during the summer he still has some of those trappings, the replica resolute desk in mar-a-l

he drove me back the next day as a board of the black suv with donald and melania trump. as all in he was all in not just for his wife but for donald trump as president. now he changed his mind but not after ait full year of visitingt the white house as a guest of donald and melania trump. that's all fine with the facts matter. people and they unsocial mirror necessary your friends. i'm there not your friends. thank out of got a great posse of them. >> i know you can go up more and more deeper into this conversation about tweeting and george on the former president referring to him as mr. kellyanne conway. there is a lot there that i didn't know you were enduring. it must be gratifying you are away from some of that stress. but it is also still public, the tweets. george: the president narcissistic and you working for the president. you have to get up every day and get to work. and your colleagues must be wet, snickering behind your back? >> some more. >> somewhat snickering and some working overtime to get the president to get rid of me competent bouncer for the white hou

former president asked one executive to relinquish his shares in the company to former first lady melania trump had him removed from the board of directors when he refused. the complaint also said trump media tried to raise capital by making fraudulent misrepresentations about the company's finances. >> ultimately, with respect again to the securities laws, this would all have to be disclosed. >> sources telling abc news the securities and exchange commission is investigating, so are federal prosecutors in new york. no comment from either. in a statement provided to abc news, trump media touting its successes and saying the whistleblower's account is rife with knowingly false and defamatory statements and other concocted psychodramas. this is hardly the first time the former president's business practices have come under scrutiny. he has always denied wrongdoing, but his company, the trump organization, is about to stand trial in manhattan for tax evasion. the attorney general in this state has accused the company of fraud, and linsey, those are just two of no fewer than half a dozen investigat

former president asked one executive to relinquish his shares in the company to former first lady melania trumpoved from the board of directors when he refused. >> trevor: watch? donald trump's social media platform was reportedly engaged in shady financial gimmicks? it is called truth social! i don't know what to believe anymore! one of the most interesting allegations is that he tried to bully one of his board members into giving his shares to melania, which is just so romantic. yeah, ladies, find you a man who will commit securities fraud for you. you have to admit, shares in truth social are a weird gift. it sounds like trump didn't remember until the last minute. "of course i remembered your birthday, melania. i got you -- uh... truth social shares! surprise! surprise! [cheers and applause] and also... the tie i'm wearing! the funny thing is, truth social is such a failure of a company that she probably didn't even want the shares. it's almost like your kids give you a gift but it's a piece of macaroni art for your birthday. "oh, so cute. you think this is worth something. thank you, donal

media ignoring jill biden's heels after blasting melania trump for doing the same thing. k times" claims melania finds herself on thin heels and failure to understand optics and accusing the former first lady of offering up fashion moment, we up the picture of jill biden doing the exact same thing. your reaction when jill biden does it and crickets? are those flats? >> carley: she was wearing wedges, i believe. >> joe: yes, i have a go-go machine and i looked before we did the segment and tried to see, can i find "washington post" or vogue criticizing current first lady in terms of footwear and you can't find it. melania was treated as poorly by the media by a mile. christmas decorations at the white house were ruthlessly mocked by washington post and other media outlets, she is a legal immigrant and yet jimmy kimmel mocked her accent after reading to other than which at an easter event. melania speaks four languages or four more than kimmel. no surprise dr. jill biden gets a pass, double standard is the rule not the exception. >> carley: it is, interesting the difference

tape dropped in the 2016 election and now is that you didn't hear anything from ivanka trump, melania trumpent and stood behind him. in this case you have got his son pretty -- i think the son to a lot of the republicans that i have spoke to worked for him or near him, in support of him, this is an "x" factor we couldn't plan for because there is a narrative out there that herschel walker can't keep track of his kids, he is a hipypocrit. his son who isn't a liberal, who doesn't -- >>is his son is to the right to him. >> his son makes shirts that say canceled. this is a kid that is not defying his father because of political reasons. he feels it's a moral reason. i think that's really hard for republicans to wrap their heads around. you need the family behind you. >> one the challenges to your point is can he do this like trump was able to do this. taking a page out of the trump playbook in his response, which is to deny, deflect and tee mean the accusers here. and the question is will that work for him? i think trumpism only works for trump. even though herschel walker is a star, i am a geo

you hear melania trump, you hear don junior, you hear senator lindsey graham. ne conway among others. but some of the most revealing moments are trump on trump. this is when woodward asks him who helps you write a speech? >> did somebody help you? >> yeah, i get -- i get people. they come up with ideas but the ideas are mine, bob. mine. want to know something? everything is mine. >> classic trump. everything is mine. the audio book is coming out next week, wolf. >> i'm sure everybody will want to hear those interviews. thanks very much for that jamie gangel doing excellent reporting as always. let's get more, democratic congressman jason crow of colorado a member of the intelligence and armed services committees. congressman, thanks for joining us. you just heard, we all just heard the former president hand some classified documents over to bob woodward and instruct him to treat them with respect before adding and i'm quoting hill him now, don't say i gave them to you. what concerns, if any, does that raise in your mind? >> well, wolf, i've spent a good chunk of

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

president trump and first lady melania trump broke the back of that crisis.0. you can fill up citi field and yankee stadium and still be looking for seats under joe biden. the media polls are really complicit here. in 2020 did they not only release ridiculous polls showing joe biden beating donald trump in wisconsin by 17 points, that wasn't true. when you put lies out there like that and you're depressing the vote, you're depressing the donors, you're creating and manipulating public opinion not respecting and reflecting, and just quickly, the senate seats in 2020 in north carolina, in iowa, in maine, in south carolina, in montana all showed republican senators losing or within the margin of error. they all won outside of the margin of error except for north carolina. there wasn't a single poll that showed susan collins winning in maine. she won by 8.6%. howard: let me get a world in here -- >> that's terrible. howard: the polling may be i off this year, but the house january 6th hearing concludes with the subpoena of donald trump. would you suggest that he

i think it is fair to say people have had an opinion about melania trump's recent rose garden renovation. the history of that site, the rose garden is a fairly historic white house grounds 1962 is not that long ago. and previous to that time there were different iterations of that garden. the idea that the grounds are sacrosanct is not really true, the president and first lady are temporary residents but when they're there they are in charge. every president and every first lady has had the good sense to tread lightly, no pun intended, on the grounds. and respect the history, add to it rather than subtract from it. 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. at that time even mrs. mellon, the original creator of the rose garden was actually advocating for the removal of all or some of those crab apple trees. they were the crux of criticism that mrs. trump received. this is because the roses and the other plants un

comments about russia and this was after the email hacks the dnc and suddenly nude pictures of melania trump show up on the front page of the new york post from a decade earlier. and donald trump, who does not like when people, write about his life unless he wants to control, appear to have no problem with this. so that was a distraction. the outburst of rage. well, that's i mean, i can lose count on that one. i mean, you can see that. you can see that one all the time. but it is there is, the screaming at people to get them in line is something that he has done through out his life and people in white house when he was when had just won somebody who had worked for him years ago said to me he is a screamer and people in the white house are to have a really hard time with this and they did so the performative sometimes is not genuine. those are. so i will give you a, for instance, some of the tweets and i you'll ask me for a specific one and i can't right now, but some of the tweets that are all caps that we would all describe as him fuming, he. would be laughing as he was sending them. it's

you hear donald trump junior, melania, jared kushner, among others. oughout the audio tapes woodward intersperses his own comm commentary. in the epilogue, woodward declares his past assessment did not go far enough. woodward now set, quote, trump is an unparalleled danger. the record shows that he has led a sedition conspiracy, which is in effect an effort to destroy democracy. the audio book will be released by simon & schuster next week. jamie gan gel with the exclusive, thank you. >> thank you. >>> where's the beef? that takes back to the '80s. this is more serious. a special master who was appointed to deal with the documents from mar-a-lago is asking where the beef is? asking for more information from both the doj and trump's lawyers. why? stay with us. biofreeze, the number one clinician recommended menthol topical pain relief brand. works fast. lasts long. cool the pain with biofreeze. my moderate to severe plaque psoriasis... the tightness, stinging... the pain. emerge tremfyant®. with tremfya®, most people saw 90% clearer skin at 16 weeks. th

members of trump staff printed out pictures of hunter biden and stuffed them in the white house air conditioning unit, which is especially weird because that's where melaniaas hiding at the time. even members of trump staff were unhelpful. when biden's incoming chief of staff ron klain asked his predecessor mark meadows to start giving the president intelligence briefing, he asked how many days a week he wanted them, proving again trump only hires the best. his majesty made a rally stop in warren, michigan over the weekend where for a 2/3 capacity crowd, he once again painted a norman rockwellesque portrait of this country he loves so much. >> we are a nation where large packs of criminals and thieves are allowed to go into stores and openly rob them, beat up the help, and kill people. they will kill people, and they kill them at will. if necessary, and even if not necessary. >> jimmy: what? >> and there is no retribution. we are a nation whose once revered airports are a dirty crowded mess where you sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won't leave. and they have no idea when they will. >> jimmy: this is a man who hasn't been to an

trump gas? >> jimmy: well, melania doesn't. i'll tell you that! en his pants aren't full of paul laxalt's face, trump has been workshopping some new material at these rallies, including this puzzling assertion. >> two years ago, think of it, two years ago, everything was so good in our country. and now -- >> jimmy: and now? by the way, remember when we had to ration toilet paper and the parking lots were makeshift morgues? that was two years ago. those were the days! you know what specifically happened two years ago this week? >> president trump a short time flown to walter reed hospital after both he and the first lady tested positive for the coronavirus. >> jimmy: two years ago he was being medevac'ed to the hospital like a wheezing manatee, like operation dumbo drop, and he is longing for those days. two years ago, sarah palin, you remember her? was on "the masked singer." now she lost the special election to fill a vacant seat in the house, but she's running for the same seat in the next election, even though this election, which she lost in th

wrong. >> what about the proof to the claim specifically that donald trump pressured investors to hand over their shares to melaniading that? >> will was at the coffee shop with the cofounder when he got the call from donald trump himself. it was a day when they were celebrating you know, the company having launched. so he remembered having this call. andy sent to note to himself, an e-mail to himself that will was able to see as an administrator of the company where andy is saying donald trump has pressured me for months to give these shares away. i don't want to give these shares away. i built this company on my own. plus, i couldn't handle the tax bill if i were to hand them over. so this is a very candid expression of what happened with donald trump here. we know it happened in reality. andy was out of the company. he has been out for a couple of months and it's a company now run by a representative. we have some real, it's rare to get this level of candor from inside a company in real time of how everybody is doing so again, these are powerful materials that are going to really reveal a lot. >> interesting. w

it's crazy the only trump being held in prison right now is melania. [ laughter aand applause ] at the of the hearing the bipartisan committee voted unanimously to subpoena donald trump to make him testify before the house. which, unless the house is "of pancakes" that's just not going to happen. [ laughter ] it's like sending a cease and desist to a hurricane. at this point, i don't know what they need to hear from him. it's all there. what they need to hear from him. as obvious as an episode of this case against trump is about as obvious as an episode of "scooby doo." [ laughter ] and yet there are still those who believe all these lifelong republicans who worked for donald trump suddenly made this all up. it's either they all got together and made it up, or he did it. those are your only two choices. here's the thing. if being an american means accepting and abiding by our constitution and after hearing all this, you still think what donald trump did was okay? i guess you're not an american. i think that makes you an illegal. [ cheers and applause ] we know how you feel about those.

when he announced his candidacy, there is a moment where he and melania come down the escalator at trump tower, that actual sequence, that happened in the apprentice. it was an outtake. all of the supporters who were there that day were actually extras who had been hired to come and cheer in the same way you would for reality tv. you would say when he is a shipmate like they shot me on the apprentice. my editor says it seems so interesting. this guy who we have all come to know and love or hate, he emerged from the forge of reality tv. the person who did this is this totally unlikely, absolute hustler. this guy from east london who was a british paratrooper, he was going to go and be a mercenary in south america. he left the military and his mother had a vision and said she not one him to do anything involving dunn's -- i want him to do anything involving guns. he was an illegal immigrant, he became a male nanny wealthy families in southern california. he was the paratrooper it turned nanny. -- paratrooper turned nanny.
