[national anthem] [national anthem] [national anthem] [national anthem] pete: good morning and welcome to fox & friends. man alive, i say it every saturday, sunday, but your photos are phenomenal. they really are original, they really are for you. they land in our inbox, friends@foxnews.com, and we, we don t, although that last one had a picture of us and a fireplace. they mix it together with our nation s anthem, and it s magic. rachel: you ve been asking for this pete: i ve been asking for a coffee table book for years. i mean, you re welcome for the idea right here. a ray you re welcome, i agree. president.good to see you with, rachel. rachel: good to be back. i had a really nice time with my if family yesterday celebrating pete: what? rachel: the feast of the e epiphany, january 6th. not insurrection day will: the 12th day of christmas? rachel: it is. pete: did you give a gift every single day rachel: no, our kids get gifts from santa cla
four days. that represents not a threat to your health, but a threat to the nation. here s what senator roger wicker, republican from mississippi, had to say. this episode further erodes the trust in the biden administration which has repeatedly failed to inform the public in a timely fashion about critical events such as the chinese spy balloon and withdrawal from afghanistan. members must be briefed on a full accounting of the facts immediately. rachel: can i just say another point about this one? i remembered the media absolutely freaking out when melania, the first lady, had a kidney procedure and they didn t get it was like a 3-day cycle of, you know, what s the first lady, where is she? and as you said, peace has not broken out under the biden administration. will: not. rachel: this is a very hot mess, globally speaking, and so for him to be pete: what the producers just mentioned is we re hearing it s complications from an elective surgery. so maybe he went in on monday
silent during the stormy daniels issue or the kidney procedure she had last year. i deal with her probably more than any other reporter. she s a straight shooter. no word yet on whether she ll be back press briefings. clearly this is somebody the president feels she can trust. she will stay on for a spokesperson for the first lady in addition to this new role. that s new and unprecedented. we ll see how that goes. this news for the first lady is an indicator that she supports grisham s move to oversee the west wing communications. the timing, obviously, is obvious in the sense that you re putting a very loyal person to both the president and the first lady in this job as we head into a very contentious re-election campaign cycle. this is not a criticism of stephanie grisham, it s more of a question of curiosity. this job has changed a lot under this president. am i right, no prior government experience before she came into the trump administration in terms of if you re the white

have there been missed moments for melania trump? last may, she entered the hospital for a kidney procedure that kept her out of the public eye for weeks. if melania trump had spoken about what the kidney ailment was plain and simple and unemotional and unembarrassed. if melania trump were to ever address what it feels like sometimes to have the barrier and the judgment of an accent. if she talked about a few of these very human qualities that make her vulnerable, that would be enormous. i think that while she is a first lady of the united states and people do deserve to know a lot about her and how wonderful she is, i think that her privacy is important. and i have learned from her that we don t have to tell everybody everything. we just don t and it works out fine. where s the president?
