>> norah: it's so interesting that melania trump is saying that now.

melania trump makes melania trump's decisions, and especially when it comes to how she wants to participate in her husband's campaign. but she is a female voice forward. i wish this had happened a few months ago. this was a message that republicans have been struggling on for years, and i think j.d. vance did a very good job on it during the debate, saying we need to be better on this we owe the american people an apology and an explanation on why we're so bad on this issue, and why we can't tell the american people yes, if a woman is bleeding out, she has access to health care. that's not a question and we can be pro-life republicans at the same time. she's got a different message than that. but at least there is a voice within the party that's standing up, one with a trump last name delivering a different message on it. >> we're going to dig deeper into that statement from the former first lady a little bit later in the afternoon, so stay tuned for that for now erin perrine, jamal simmons, appreciate you both. thanks for joining us. thanks. >> still ahead this hour on cnn news central, at

more now of my exclusive with melania trump. the polls are so close right now. the election. you and president trump may be back in the white house next year. have you thought about what's most important to you and what role you'd like to take on should you get the chance again? >> i think the most important thing is to establish the theme around you, that they serve you because they serve the country. maria: yeah. and what about the roles and the value that you will bring to the table? you've talked so much about children and women. will that be a theme that you will get around or do new initiatives should you become first lady again? >> correct. i will continue my be best initiative and expand and see also what is important at that time. because as we see, the world is changing so fast. and what will happen next year, we don't know. we don't have a crystal ball. so i will, i will do my best that i can to support women, children and well-being of them. so after i left the white house in 2021, i establish my two platforms, web 2 and web 3, blockchain platforms,

melania trump seems to be straying from her husband's stance on abortion. her beliefs revealed in a promo video for her new memoir. in the video, melania trump says she safeguards individual freedoms, calling it an essential right all women possess. she then ask, what does the phrase my body, my choice, really mean? the guardian reports melania trump passionately defends abortion rights in her book that contradicts her husband's stance on the issue. who has taken credit for ending the roe v wade abortion protections? melania trump's memoir comes out on tuesday, so getting paid for eating ice cream? yeah, totally. and while you might get a little cash if you ate at does mark farrell have the right experience to shake up city hall? in nearly ten years as supervisor, mark grew the bureaucracy by authorizing or creating a commission almost every year. he rubber stamped hundreds of millions to homeless nonprofits with zero accountability and orchestrated a pay-to-play scheme that sold out taxpayers to the highest bidder. mark farrell has all the wrong experience

of the things she weathered personally, this goes back to the trump's as well, donald trump and melania trump questioning president obama's citizenship, and that is something that went on for a long time and it is something michelle obama said she will never forgive the trump's for doing. something she felt had endangered her family, they had two young girls in the white house. that is the sort of scar tissue that develops in a row like this when politics become increasingly calcified and tribal and sometimes dangerous. so you have a first lady at the end of her time saying all that matters is i know who i am. looking at michelle obama now, the way she operates on the world stage, is somebody who learned those lessons and is applying them in her post politics life. peter: did michelle obama or melania trump sit down with you? katie: neither did. melania trump engaged through a spokesperson. michelle obama did not. peter: quotes from your book. throughout the relationship, both made itle to the public what each prides about the other. donald trump, motivated by power and money, shared that he

melania trump does what melania trump wants to do. on a first, anybody who knows not to try them swayed or the other way. it's donald trump. >> if she's writing a book, is that something that she would tell trump before before it becomes out or is that something that maybe he could have found out recently i i'm under the belief when i've spoken to some people that he probably found out recently, again, the two orbits, although they are close, i'm not, i'm not saying they don't they don't communicate. >> they don't spend time together the work that melania trump does is often siloed and that's something she does on her own you know, when i think it's interesting to listen if donald trump could say anything to melania trump about these recent weeks or months, wouldn't it be, hey, can you get out on the campaign trail for me? can you help me get undecided women voters are recent immigrants are people who would relate to your story. it's a typical thing that first lady's do for their husbands who are campaigning or their spouses who are c

so what do you make of seeing melania trump there tonight? >> well a couple of things. what, what's interesting is that melania trump, if you go back to 2020, jessica, she was on the campaign trail onetime basically, and that was about one week before election day. she did it up right outside of philadelphia mother talking to our good friend, kate bennett at the time, she spent a lot of time covering melania trump, but i remember talking to her and her just talking to me about how melania trump would spend a whole lot of time on the campaign trail while we've seen certainly in this election and you could even argue actually that she's not on the campaign trail. i mean, she went right down the street maybe 20 blocks or so to do the speech. but she's only done a couple of fundraisers. and other than that, she has been absolutely she's been absent but again, not totally surprising given that she is a very private person and the president himself, when asked about this, has noted that she would prefer to stay private as opposed to being in the public eye, which in this day

besides abortion, melania trump, an immigrant herself, also writes about immigration. she reportedly says she likes to keep occasional political disagreements private. a spokesperson for mrs. trump and the trump campaign did not respond to our requests for comment. andrea fujii abc news, new york. >> vice president kamala harris's campaign got a boost this afternoon from the bass. musician bruce springsteen posted a video on his instagram account endorsing the harris campaign. the rocker cited the division in the country as the primary reason. he also referred to trump as, quote, the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime. springsteen joins other major musicians who have recently endorsed harris, including taylor swift, beyonce and olivia rodrigo. so with ranked choice voting, who would? san francisco mayoral candidates put second on their own ballots. their thoughts nex the winner due to ranked choice voting. our final question to each candidate was to ask who they will list as their second choice in ranked choice voting to help san francisco voters prep

maria: just incredible, and to that point, the melania trump interview yesterday i asked her for to tell she wants women voters to know about doctor they may not know. >> melania what do you want to say to women who may have a picture of president trump in her heads, they think they know who he is. what do you want to say to them that they may not know about your husband? >> they need to know that he is passionate about this country, passionate about women and men as well, everybody he wants to make their life better. safe. prosperous, he is warm. he loves people i understand that maybe sometimes they see him tough, are and -- some tweets maybe would not like it they did not like it. i understand that, but in -- heeds to fight back when attacked he needs to fight back. he only wants good for this country. maria: for the after all i mean going on 10 years, of the hate against donald trump since he came down from that escalator said getting into politics you had attacks that have only gotten worse now going on 10 years. >> look that was a fantastic interview with melania trump she is his g

melania trump typically does what melania trump wants to do. and as trump said, i told her speak from the heart, say what you want to say. i think if it were up to the campaign and she would've been on the other side. i don't think that's from the been talking about. >> she she writes in her book that she cautioned trump about the child separation thing, tried to encourage him to end it. she says, allegedly, this has to stop the former first lady told her husband emphasizing the trauma it caused to these families describing approaching her husbanand, whose hardline stanc on immigration was well-known and trump writes, i am sympathetic to all who wish to find a better life in this country as an immigrant myself, i intimately understand the necessary if arduous process of legally becoming an american now, again, to ramesh's point where was that energy when this was actually putting publicly and there's also audio of her defending the conditions that these children were being kept in at the time that was released by a former friend of hers, but i

a column on the washington post, why is melania trump coming out now for abortion rights? at that her way to wink and nod at the idea that may be the trump's did not believe in this stuff all along and that women who think abortion rates are important to feel comfortable voting for him? drum come after all, what's pronounced himself to be strongly pro-choice. your reaction this morning for that news in campaign 2024. eddie in massachusetts, republican. caller: hi, in the 1920's, president calvin coolidge said, do you think this is the government's business? that is why donald trump did so good. when he got into office in 2016, the growth rate was 1%, unemployment 6.5%. getting rid of bill clinton's nafta, which was sucking all of our jobs. my cousin lost his job when the ge plant closed in massachusetts. but that is what you have got to do, got to get corporate tax down. so the administration got the growth rate up to 3% and unemployment down to 3.5%. that is why he did a good job, he is a businessman, and that is why he should be our next president again. host: that is why

look at an melania trump. what she was doing during the attack on the capitol during the insurrection in the whole story, which this documentary that airs on sunday, and i want to play a clip from that >> stephanie grisham by 2024 melania's chief of staff, a self-proclaimed former trump, true believer described her breaking point with the first lady on january 6 i asked malatia if we could at least tweet that while peaceful protests is the right of every american, there's no place for lawlessness or violence. she replied with one word no. i became the first senior staffer to resign that day because i was at the white house later, we would realize what she was doing was having a rug photographed a rug that she had redesigned for the diplomatic room that's what you did on january 6? that's that morning as that got day, her husband was delivering the speech on the ellipse and his rioters were attacking the capitol. >> she was during a photo shoot and i think at that point people could really understand who melani

photo shoot we take a look not just at the four years that melania trump was in that role before we also talk to experts and people who have covered her for a long time about what the next four years could look like. >> should donald trump be re-elected? we also take a look though at doug emhoff, the second gentlemen and what it could look like if he is in that position, he would be the first man to ever occupy the role of the first first gentlemen if you will. and so it's a fascinating look at conventional typical job descriptions and how people tried to use it. and i actually spoke to some people who thought doug emhoff would actually be a more conventional first spouse than we've seen melania trump be, regardless of what happens in the election, it's a fascinating look to see who will be occupying what's often overlooked for the west wing. and that's the east wing. >> that's right. kaitlan collins. thanks so much. the whole story with anderson cooper, one whole hour, one whole story airs next only on cnn. thanks so much for joining me this evening. i'm jessica dean. we're going to see

of that coin. >> you mentioned the book cnn has a new story out just this past hour about how melania trump apparently asked for $250,000 for cnn interview on her book, according to the report. two months ago, cnn reached out to trump. melania trump's book publisher, to request an interview after several exchanges, they came back with this unusual demand, asking for $250,000 as part of the cnn. did not sign that agreement. just for the record there, days later, after a separate cnn journalist asked about this, the publisher said it had sent the payment demand by mistake. of course, there's been some reporting to that. she appeared apparently at two fundraisers at the log cabin. republicans earlier this year. our colleagues also reported that that and she was paid $237,000 for a speaking engagement. it's unclear exactly how she got that money as well look, i mean, to me, it sounds like a potential i should say, right? >> it sounds like a potential speaking fee request. i mean, this is just one. it's impossible to imagine another first lady, former first lady from nancy reagan to barbara bush

the trump campaign says abortion rights should be up to each state. >> and before melania trump's post candidate donald trump said he would veto a national abortion ban. we are not fooled but abortion rights advocate both as warns the trumps are attempting to confuse voters weeks ahead of the election. we know his record. >> we know he is responsible that we do not have a federal constitutional right to abortion. 14 states have enacted abortion bans voters in 9 more states will consider abortion protections. >> this november in washington, raquel martin. >> the cdc says more and more kids are not getting their recommended vaccinations. the agency says a record number of kindergartners were exempt from those required shots for last school year. health experts say that leaves more than 125,000 young students on protected measles vaccination among kindergartners is already below a federal target. as we look at the forty-niners over the summer, measles cases nationwide were triple that of 20 twenty-three's numbers. vaccines for other diseases like polio and tetanus also dropped in data rev

population after months of barely being seen as her husband runs again for president former first lady melania trump suddenly seems to be everywhere. she has a book releasing next week. and as brian todd reports, she's even having an impact on the election campaign, even contradicting her husband on a key issue trump's newly revealed stance on abortion rights. this time from donald trump's running mate, jd vance ballotti is entitled to her own views and the same way the people of georgia are entitled to their own views. and i don't believe i have to attack or disagree or criticize anybody on this tissue the former first lady coming out in favor of abortion rights ahead of her forthcoming memoir, melania, without a doubt, there is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right, that all women possess from birth individual freedom. it's a position seemingly at odds with her husband's, but former president trump doesn't seem to mind. >> we spoke about it. and i said you have to write what you believe. i'm not going to tell you what to do. you have to write what you believe one first lady

let me start with you with melania trump pivot that no one saw coming.ut aside that lighting there for a moment and the music. what do you make of this? there was some it was saying to promote her book others say it is fully communicative because trying to soften the stance of her husband's to connie and abortion positions and policies. >> i feel like i want to remember the jacket that she wore. i don't care what melania things. do you ? even if she had a strong stance on abortion her opinion does not matter. because her husband showed in the complete opposite way. you have no weight and power. it deftly not in a legislative base. for me, this softening they want to do, they have overturned roe v. wade you have chosen a pic who has gone on a misogyny junket on all of the right wing podcast to talk about all of the child discount ladies and about how childless people need to be taxed more about how women need to be punished and ruthless about power. that is all coming from j.d. vance. if you want to soften your stance on abortion and maybe not go with the
