the world of high fashion to meeting the man who would change the course of her life, Melania Trump, offering a rare glimpse as first lady and much more. It's all in her brand new self titled memoir called Melania, which you can get a copy of at MelaniaTrump.com and Melania Trump joins us now to talk about it. I read this entire thing cover to cover last night and you tell the people about riding in the limousine with Michelle Obama on inauguration day. You talk about some of your battles with the press. What was something you put in this book that you've been wanting to get off your chest for all of these years that people really need to say? Well, everything, everything. I think it's a lot of misinformation out there about me. So that's why I said that I think it's the time that people hear from me and my story, my perspective and the truth. We're about the truth on the show. Judge Jeanine, do you have a question? You've been very excited about this interview. I have so many questions, but I'll start with one that is clearly serious. The former president has survived two assassination attempts and Kamala's camp has just issued yesterday that they're going to go more negative. The Biden Harris team continues with the negative rhetoric, you know, whether it's Hitler or, you know, you know, he's tearing down democracy. Are you worried about your husband's safety in the next 29 days? Of course I do. Yes, I do. I think, you know, when they call him, he's a threat to democracy. Let's ask ourselves who is really a threat to democracy. They are ongoing with the law fair against the former president, as well as, you know, trying to get him off the voting ballots and trying to, you know, silence him. So yes, of course, I was always afraid what can happen and that they continuing with that kind of language is just they thought it's a toxic, toxic atmosphere. Jessica Tarlov, I mean, Harold Ford Jr., do you have a question for the former first lady? I do. First of all, great to see you. And we're so glad that you're here. Thank you. When you think about some of the positive things that you experienced in the White House when you and President Trump were there, what were some of the things that made you most joyful about policy and the things that he did? Well, he did a lot and he took care of the military. And I really love to visit them actually all around the world, even when I went to Iraq for Christmas, when I went to Walter Reed and visiting the soldiers, wounded soldiers, and also when I visited the aircraft on the middle of the ocean. So very exciting and all the people that I met over four years, really, really special. And they always, you know, they stay with you. Sometimes you still remember them. So it's always something that I'm looking forward to it. When Dana went to Iraq, she had a black eye. I'm very glad that didn't happen to you. I'm the only one who got hurt in that whole thing. That's true. But I recovered. In the book, you do talk about the power of the office of the First Lady to do good. And I think from afar, what I witnessed was that you seemed very joyful when you were certainly around the military, but also when you were around children. And I remember early on, you went and you read to children and it was a special moment. And I'm wondering if former President Trump wins again. I know that foster care is an issue that you care about and it's a system that is broken. There's a lot of organizations that help, like Selfless Love out of Florida and Texas. They're amazing. But a push from the White House could really help. Is there an issue like that or anything else that you kind of wish that you had another chance to work on? Well, I will bring my experiences back, what I learned in the four years. And as well, I will continue my Be Best initiative for children, for women. And also, I will continue with Fostering the Future initiative that I established after I left the White House in 2021. And I have two platforms, MelaniaTrump.com and USMemorabilia.com, that support scholarships for fostering children and fostering community. I have many students now in. So I will continue with that and we need to give back to those children and support them. So once they have education, they could have a great job. And after that, they could give back to communities. Greg Gutfeld. Oh, I love the cover. Because it's black. It's flack. Like you, I was a model. There's some magazines you've probably never heard of. They're out of business now. Do you ever stop and think about your life and wonder how did you get here? Like you came to the United States in '96, you arrived at JFK, and then you end up in the White House. And did you, like, did you, obviously you didn't expect it, but do you ever, like, does it ever kind of have these moments where how did I get here? Yeah, it's an incredible journey, an incredible story where I came from a small town in Slovenia and then went to Milan, Paris, New York. And you know, you never know what can happen in life, right? We don't know the future. We don't know what will happen next year. So you know, here we are. Would you have married Donald Trump if you had a crystal ball that said he would be president? Huh, that's an interesting question. By the way, does he ever sleep? He doesn't sleep much. He does, of course. Does he wear pajamas? No. No. What does he wear when he sleeps, Melania? Well, one of the things she does get into in the book, Greg, since I've read it, and you haven't, obviously, the first date and how he courted you and that courtship was very special. These are just many of the things you reveal in the book. What are those moments when Greg alluded to it? Where am I? How am I here? You were in the Situation Room during the Al-Baghdadi raid. That must have been pretty intense. It was. It was amazing to experience that kind of action, really, and soldiers. They were so brave. And interesting, I didn't put in the book, actually, but after that, in a few months, I met those pilots in North Carolina that they flew over. So they explained to me what they need to do, how they need to prepare. They cannot tell anybody. They go, and they're called to duty, and right away, they go on the flight, and they tell them where they need to go. So very interesting story, yes, but I was there, and my husband, he called me and he said, like, he wants that I see it, and it was incredible what they did. Did you get to meet the dog, too? I did. I did. Yes. And you were there, too. But you met Conan, too. Yes. It's on the back of one of my books. And you were so brave. You went right there to him, and she would start, you know, it's amazing. You were so brave with him. I think the dog was scared of Janine. Actually, it was Laura and I, we kept calling the president and said, "Please, can you bring Conan in?" But yeah, it was fun. Can I ask another question? Sure. Okay. There are a lot of women who are on the fence, not a lot, a few. What would you say to them regarding why Donald Trump should be president? Well, we could see in the four years that he was there, country was in great shape. Country was safe. Country was prosperous. And he would bring that back. When you are hopefully first lady again, will you continue with the Be Best initiative? I know that was near and dear to your heart in those four years. I will do that. And also, you know, we need to see what will happen in a few months and what next year will bring, and new issues will come, right? So you need to tackle those issues, and you need to... And one of them is that what we have seen, there's an increase in crime against women, and that's been happening in all of the stories that we talk about when you have an illegal migrant crime. It's not just women, but there is a particular attack against women that's happening, and I'm not necessarily asking... That just came to me. I didn't plan on asking you about that, but it does seem to me like you don't know what the issues are going to be. North Carolina has to be rebuilt. Tennessee has to be rebuilt. There's so many things that are... Now Florida is coming, right? Yes. The big hurricane in Florida. Yes. I'm glad that many people, they move... They're leaving. They're leaving. They move away, so they will be safe. Quick like question. How's Barron doing at NYU? He's doing great. He loves his classes and his professors. He's doing well. He's thriving, and he's enjoying to be in New York City again. Is there something you would want people to know about your husband that they probably don't know, that they should know? Something that they would be, "Oh, that's... That's pretty good." Well, I have some stories, and Jesse, you read it in the book. So they're kind of cute, nice stories, and he's very warm, he's fun, he has a great personality. And all he wants, he's very passionate about this country. All he wants, he wants to make this country safe, so everybody has jobs and enjoying family life. And he's treating everybody equal. He doesn't... Man or woman. He could be tough on a woman. He could be tough on a man. We are serious. Does he make you laugh? Yes, he does, of course, yes. That's the key. He is. He is. All right. Well, thank you very much, Melania. And congratulations. Good luck with the book. Thank you. Melania, there it is. Where books are sold or you go to your website. What was the website again? MelaniaTrump.com. That's easy to remember.

remember that nothing worth doing is ever easy. You'll have bad moments. You gotta love what you're doing. And if you don't, just do something else. Keep standing up always for your values. Keep loving your country. And one of the most important things, never, ever quit. Never quit. Then ask yourself what imprint will you leave in the sands of history. What will future Americans say we did in our brief time right here on earth? Did we take risks? Did we dare to defy expectations? Did we challenge accepted wisdom and take on established systems? In my short time in Washington, I've seen firsthand how the system is broken. A small group of failed voices who think they know everything and understand everyone. Want to tell everybody else how to live and what to do and how to think. But you aren't going to let other people tell you what you believe, especially when you know that you're right. I know that each of you will be a warrior for the truth, will be a warrior for our country and for your family. I know that each of you will do what is right, not what is the easier way. And that you will be true to yourself and your country and your beliefs. Remember this, nothing worth doing ever, ever, ever came easy. Following your convictions means you must be willing to face criticism from those who lack courage or the guts or the stamina to take it and to do it. It's called the road less traveled.

-This is the final battle. With you at my side, we will demolish the deep state. We will expel the warmongers from our government. We will drive out the globalists. We will cast out the Communists, Marxists, and Fashions. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media, and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all. -[ Knocking ]

>> So an unforgettable moment on the campaign trail for one voter who got a big hug from Trump at an Atlanta Chick-fil-A while he met with supporters. Watch. >> Okay, what the media tells you, Mr. Trump, we support you. >> We love you. >> Okay, 4 p.m. We've been 4 p.m. >> Come here, let me give you a hug. >> Look at the joy, here to tell us about it is that young woman herself, Michaela Montgomery. She's also the founder of a grassroots political group to conserve the culture. Michaela, I've been waiting for this interview all morning. So when- >> I've been waiting for this my whole life. >> So thanks so much for joining us. So you told the president when you were hugging him, I don't care what the media says, we support you. Tell me what you meant by that. >> I am so glad that is the first question you asked me. So, of course, in the excitement of everything, I wasn't able to really relay my message, but the general consensus or social media, what have you thinking that if President Trump were to show up to the HBCU campuses or walk around the agency community that might some angry mob would form or a riot would ensue and that he would not be welcome. And clearly the sentiment in that room the other day was the complete opposite. He was very welcome. People were excited to see him. People showed up in support of him and people, of course, were from all four institutions within the AEC, the local HBCU community in Atlanta, and they all showed up in support of them. So it's actually kind of crazy to see people in an uproar when all four institutions were legitimately represented and all four institutions were represented by said students who wanted to support President Trump. >> You know, my friend. >> And I really appreciate that we were able to not only let him know that regardless of what social media says, I know they're trying to make us think we're supposed to hate you, but we don't. And additionally, it was a learning experience for my students because they were able to see and experience firsthand how the media can warp the perception of an opinion or a person. Because like I said, to think that these students who attend these illustrious institutions aren't smart enough to make their own decisions. So much so that they would only show support for Trump because he bought chicken sandwiches and milkshakes. >> It's offensive. >> It's the most disturbing part of it all, especially when you think about the fact that it was mainly urban media outlets that were doing everything in their power to turn other black people against these young black kids who simply were not shy to explore other options. >> It's so incredible. And I think you hit it on the head. By the way, the former president gave a lot of funding to HBCUs. One of the highlights of my childhood was my HBCU tour to figure out what college I wanted to go to. But tell me about the former president and his policies. What is it about him that is gravitating these young people toward the president? And a lot of people, traditionally Republicans don't do well in black America. But a lot of young black Americans like the former president. What is it about him? >> I think, and this is a sentiment I get a lot coming from the young people themselves, is that they feel like he's honest. They feel like this is somebody who while we might not agree with how he says things, how he goes about things, at least he's telling us what it is. We don't feel like this is a snake in the grass waiting for his chance to bite us. This is somebody who's telling us this is what my plan is. Here's how I plan to execute it. Here's the people involved. And here's how you can get involved. So they just feel like he's more relatable. And I don't say that to say that they all relate to him. But again, he gives you that relatable feeling to where it's like, hey, I'm just like you. You know me, this is what you said you wanted. Here's what I'm gonna try to do about it. They really feel like this is somebody who's talking to them and not just saying what they wanna hear. >> Such a good point. Michaela, what has Biden done for our community? What has he done for black America? >> Well, he locked up a lot of people that look like me. And they're still sitting in jail waiting for justice and appeal of some sort. So when it comes to what Joe Biden has done for black America, if we look specifically at his record as a senator, it wasn't something that benefited us at all. If anything, one could argue that he dedicated his entire senatorial career to disrupting the way of life for black people. He didn't want black kids going to the same school as his kids. He didn't want black people walking on the sidewalk along with his mother and grandmother. So the fact that we ignore these things that were said on the Senate floor, like this is somebody who passed legislation with the sole intent of oppressing a certain community. And we're gonna act like that didn't happen or we're gonna act like it can be overshadowed by somebody's comments a few years down the line that made us feel some type of way. Feeling some type of way is completely different when you can feel a certain type of way at home. Or as of right now, spending the rest of their lives in jail because Joe Biden thought that they deserved it as if there isn't retribution. And then you had somebody like Trump come in and give us the First Step Act to try and right the wrongs that were done with this three strikes rule and nobody's talking about that. >> Michaela, I need more time with you. We gotta go to- >> You can call me with that. >> We'll make it happen. We'll bring you back on and we'll talk about the president's plan to win more black voters. Michaela, thank you so much. Thanks for being bold. We'll talk soon. >> Thank you for having me. You guys have a great day.

Tremendous amount of things you can cut, may be precise. Tremendous amount of things you can do, not cut. Last, not long ago, my buddy John McCain passed away. My predecessor friend, that's how he ended his career. And what they're going to do is to ensure a national, really endanger our national security. But to expend, you know, you have to look. Pennsylvania, I have a message for you. Send me to Congress so I can support this right. Family for those farms and their children. They need to have children to instigate.
