i was united kingdom editor of vanity fair in the '90s.n the story. i've never talked about it before, no. this is the stuff that got stranded with me, and this isjust a tiny fraction of what we have. and there were massive and massive amounts of interviews, statements, affidavits, supporting evidence. within those affidavits, there is evidence of serial criminality. i was approached by vanity fair back in the 1990s. _ they tracked me down, i think, i because whoever was on the door at park lane when i left must have seen the state - i was in and remembered me or remembered my name. i that evening, i'd already- talked to him about the idea of wanting to be an actress. when i walked in, we sat down and he started - talking about how dodi - was about to start producing the prequel to hook and he gave me the script and he said, - "read that passage from - the script straight to camera and then i'll send it on to dodi." . in context, it was fine, but out of context - it was, "take me. take me, please.

were more or they were a number of allegations made against mr al fayed in the press notably in vanity fairhe 21st of september and renewed that bid multiple times but i never heard a response. so when monday i contacted fennec which is a department store chain with a famous 140—year—old store in newcastle and he was due to take up the post of chief executive there and within 24 hours they told me that actually he was not going to take up the post after all. there were no reasons for that mentioned in the statement but none of the obvious reasons you might think of such as family issues or personal reasons or ill—health were mentioned in that statement. then i called morlaes to ask if he was going to stay on as the chief executive there and again no comment. so there you have it. no one has spelt out exactly whether mr blow will take up or want to come as newjob but the news did emerge quite soon after the documentary came out on the bbc and mr blow has not said anything about that documentary or indeed about anything else. contrast that with another department store chief who was six years

in the current issue of vanity fair, reporter james polk has a profile of trump's former campaign manager, steve bannon, who is more influential than ever in trump world and by extension in the trump campaign even as he awaits the end of his prison sentence now. james polk writes, if you have enjoyed what steve bannon has brought to trumpist politics sot far, all the destroy the administrative state stuff and we need a multi-polar white world led by russia and take itt as a badge of honor if you're called a racist, all that bannon stuff, if you have enjoyed that over the last few years, you will love what his priority is right now for trump getting bac into the white house for a second term. the new plan, the new big idea we're getting from bannon and his whole wing of the trump movement which includes jd vance, the big new idea we're getting for the trump second term is the, quote, abandonment of the dollar. q he wants to end the american currency. he's working on, quote, the end of the dollar empire. well, that would be quite a business decision. who in the business world, who is making

if you had a chance to read vanity fair, the cover story on average populist nationalist beliefs, you can see it talks about economics. it talks about the way the system works, the financial system in this country, how it is inextricably linked to the political system, and you cannot understand what is going on until you understand how the economy, federal reserve, how deficits, how they play into the politics of the day, that much of what you see on television is just professional wrestling when it comes to politics and is not the thing itself. i can report to you that these young men, most of whom are nonviolent drug offenders that had quite frankly a lot of years left in prison, these people came to this with a new awakening. that is the awakening the american people are going through. the system is not only broken, the system is rigged against the working class of this nation. i saw at danbury, we are going to move past the politics of race within it intermediate stop in the politics of gender which is being forced on everybody right now, we are going to get to the politics of mon

special correspondent for vanity fair and host of the fast politics podcast. and the dean of the columbia journalism school. columnist for the independent and author. john allen is here, nbc senior national politics reporter and a dear friend of mine. okay, vp harris answered a lot of questions this week from all sorts of people. how do you think she did? >> she has been out not only the places that she answered the questions, but the places that she answered them. with presidential candidates as you know, presidential campaigns, they pretty much say variations on the same thing. this stop, this stop. maybe you switch it up. i'm really happy that the detroit tigers made the playoffs and then you go to pennsylvania, i'm sorry that the phillies didn't get further. fundamentally you are selling the same product, so i think the fact that she got out and is on call her daddy, on howard stern, bouncing around, really was the most important thing. >> based on where she appeared and with whom, what voters do you think she is targeting in the last 30 days? >> well, cal

molly jong fast, vanity fair special correspondent, and tara setmayer, cofounder and ceo of the senecaject and a former gop director. my thanks to this fantastic panel. i'm going to start with you, molly. we're going to play scott pely. his explanation of why trump pulled out of the "60 minutes" interview. >> the campaign offered shifting explanations, first, it complained that we would fact check the interview. we fact check every story. later, trump said he needed an apology for his interview in 2020. trump claims correspondent leslie stahl said in that interview that hunter biden's controversial laptop came from russia. she never said that. trump has said his opponent doesn't do interviews because she can't handle them. he had previously declined another debate with harris, so tonight may have been the largest audience for the candidates between now and election day. >> i mean, molly, that was a doozy, number one. but let's be clear. if kamala harris were to pull out of that "60 minutes" interview, the media would lose their minds. many in legacy media have been super critical of ha

caroline writes this in a brand- new piece for vanity fair, quote, watching my dad's life crumble sinces with donald trump has been extraordinarily painful and because his demise feels links to a dark force that threatens to detroy america. take it from me, trump destroys everything he touches. i saw it happen to my family, don't let it happen to yours or to our country. kamala harris will guide us into a brighter future but only if we unite behind her. joining me now is caroline giuliani. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> what is this like to be telling the truth about loving your father but also using your platform to endorse kamala harris? >> yeah. it was really challenging to figure out how to express these feelings and figure out if i had the strength to share them. i think for a lot of this election i have been watching with so many americans in disbelief and horror at the idea of a 34 time convicted felon who refused to participate in a peaceful transfer of power, being so close to the precedency again. that disbelief paralyzed me for awhile. and i think th

joining me now, molly john fast, vanity fair's special correspondent and tara do you -- dowdell and the president of tara dowdell group. christine todd whitman and the co-chair of the state's united democracy center and timothy snider, professor of history at yale university and the author of his new book "on freedom." want to thank you all for being here. molly and tara, you are joining me here. molly, i don't care how chafed you are, we've been through a lot politically, there's got to be something about the symbolism, having kamala harris and liz cheney at what is the birthplace of the republican party. >> so i think that what's happened here is two really important things, right? first is that they're creating this permission structure. you may not be a republican -- you may not be a democrat, you may not like what she's offering, but you care more about american democracy than you do about the nuances of her political party or her political goals. the other thing is that what this does is it breaks through these lower information voters and they see that something is different abou

another daughter of one of his closest allies is doing the same, writing in vanity fair why she willmala harris in november. joining me now is writer and filmmaker, caroline rose giuliani, the daughter of former new york city mayor, rudy giuliani. i'm awfully glad to talk with you about this, and i have to tell you, we all know your father was america's mayor after 9/11, perhaps the most popular man in the country at the time. that has sadly changed. he's now facing a slew of financial trouble related to his association with donald trump. he has been disbarred from practicing law in new york and d.c. recently, facing criminal charges for election subversion in arizona. filed for bankruptcy following the $400 million judgment against him for defaming those two georgia election workers. you know this. the question is, how much do you blame donald trump for your father's troubles? >> everyone needs to be accountable for their own actions. i really believe that. but i think i am focused -- i want to focus the attention of the country on donald trump, because he is the single biggest thre

on the 2024 is, we have molly john fast, host of the fast politics and special correspondent at vanity fair. we also have melanie, for punch bowl muse, and an msnbc political contributor. glad to have you both here. i want to start with did you hear that sound bite from donald trump there at coachella? when he goes off on, you don't have anything like a voting with in california. they send them all over the place, so corrupt. you have been following him so carefully for so long. is there a word, or a condition you are using to describe this sort of discourse? >> right. he calls it the weave, right? where he has stories that are maybe unrelated and he puts them together. it's the weave. he doesn't sound as sharp as he did a decade ago, though that is probably the understatement of the year. he goes sorta very tangentially. look, and these rallies, what he is doing is, especially going to california, i think he is trying to drop some of these ideas. in aurora, it's an anti- immigrant thing. he has this ability. in turn, the message is really dark and really scary. >> that she had, even just l

in 1990, vanity fair reported that trump's first and now deceased wife ivana told her lawyer that trumpt a book of hitler's speeches in his bedside cabinet. she also told a friend that trump's cousin, who worked at the trump organization, used to walk into trump's office, click his heels and say, heil hitler, possibly as a family joke. jonathan karl in his book about the trump administration shed some light on why trump embraces authoritarians, white nationalists and anti-semites. according to one account, chris christie, who was working with trump during his first campaign, urged him to disavow david duke's endorsement. since he was slow to do so. because, quote, those people vote, too. now i know people love to dismiss these concerns as trump di rangment syndrome of taking trump too seriously. really? really? remember barack obama or joe biden former staffers saying they dug hitler. and let's not forget trump's own running mate jd vance who famously said that trump just might be america's hitler. he's not wrong. joining me now is ruth been gee yat, history professor at new york univer

let's talk about this some more with the special correspondent for vanity fair, and at msnbc political analyst and roger mcnamee, cofounder of elevation partners in a former adviser mark zuckerberg. is also the author of the book waking up to the facebook catastrophe. restart with you, because there may be some people who are largely unclear as to why elon musk and the connection between peter teal, the tech investor, and jd vance this. why sort of silicon valley and the tech industry, but musk in particular, seem to become such strong trump's of orders? >> i think the problem at its root is that these companies are so large which, in the case of twitter, hundreds of millions of active users, and in case of meta-and google, 3 billion each, that they believe they should not be subject to the rules of any country. and trump is offering them a path to that in the united states. and it's really important, because in the process of gaining massive wealth and influence, these companies have routinely broken the law. we've operated the last 40 years in an environment where companies had a dut
