Michelle Obama Opens Up To Jenna Bush Hager About Her New Book - Full Interview | TODAY
Jenna Bush is a great interviewer. She is sincerely interested in other people, and she has an open and welcoming heart. Michelle Obama is also open, and I am loving that she can speak more freely now that she is no longer first lady. We are all more alike than we are different. This interview proves that.
I agree! As a woman, I never warmed up to Michelle Obama, but this interview made her more endearing to me. She is really cute too. Looks a lot younger now. Jenna has come a long way. I agree with you that she is a really good interviewer now. She looks so much like her mom.
TheTuellfamily ...so nice you have a better sense of clarity about our former First Lady at this point. Wish you better insight into First Lady’s roles. Perhaps the current administration will be helpful to you in this venue as well.
Funny how they really push the "WOMEN" keyword on to the viewers when she is actually transgender
LatexCatDaddy What is more humorous is how uneducated and myopic individuals use the word "transgender" as a noun, when it is an adjective.
TheTuellfamily why didn’t Jenna ask about his becoming a TRANSGENDER?
There is something really powerful in watching two women relate to each other in a genuine way. This is the energy that Americans are striving for, a healthy meeting place even if we don't always agree.
Jon your racism is coming through loud and clear. We all know that you will not accomplish anything in your life that comes close to what Michelle has accomplished. You can keep trying but you will fail.
Trinity Fairgate well said 😊
@@misstea-uu3nj you see I don't like false people who try to lead people down a false pathway... the Obamas are false. And those who are blinded by them are lost...
@Mike Carter a family of demons
Don't listen to the negative rhetoric from some insecure men who are discontented about their station in life. MAGA - MY ATTORNEY GOT ARRESTED
Jenna Bush and Michelle class act. Happy to see this interview
Adrian Williams only Jenna, the transgender is a product of affirmative action succes
Prof. Dina Reyes I doubt if you are a professor of anything
Really intelligent people do not go around making asinine statements about others. They usually think before they SPEAK.
Prof. Dina Reyes Another pathetic troll
If you are easily pleased and fooled.
Adrian Williams makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over. Did she ask her why they built a wall around their house? Careful Jenny...Oops, can’t go there she’s a liberal. We’ll save the tough questions for Republicans.
When people ask the question who would you most like to have dinner with dead or alive. I always say Michelle Obama. She is grounded and understands who she is and why. She is a sage for woman of all ages, And she knows how to have a good time!!! Jenna Bush Hager asked the best questions. The ones we all want to know the answers to. She also understands what it is like to live in the WH and the public eye.
I love how these two families have bonded.
She is such a breath of fresh air .Honesty and integrity goes a long way.
John Douma
lol y’all must be terrified
and, intelligence.
sounds like same old tired blow hard politician.
Big Mike what a nasty comment, evil thoughts, Evil thinking, bring Evil deeds.
Deloris Willis it’s a fart joke. Women fart too. Way to overreact
It’s refreshing to hear the dems and repubs can be fond of each other. The Bush Obama connection is admirable. God heal the House and the Senate
You do realize that the Bush's and the Obama's are literally two sides of the same coin...
codex mmm ok i’ ll bite are they human or lizards or other aliens... cant wait to see
@@graer It's fairly obvious that the neocons and the neolibs are the same people that want the same things. One just has a D after their name and the other an R. It's a false dichotomy. But of course when your brain has been turned to mush by propaganda like yours has, you would think it's some sort of conspiracy theory to say such things.
codex false dichotomy? How do you figure that cause that sounds a little conspiracy like, the big THEY all working together to create THE OTHER world. Humans are not that good at working together so i would have to go with et type deal to get to that big a collusion
@@graer lmao, Who likes mass surveillance? Neocons and neolibs. Who likes war? Neocons and neolibs. I hope you're joking around otherwise that's pretty sad if you really believe there's a difference between a political party backed by billionaires and a... political party backed by billionaires. Yes, sure they are completely different because... they told you they are completely different? Ok! I don't know what "other" world you are talking about. Sounds like you're obsessed with weird things but try to project it onto others.
Intelligence just oozes out of her. My mouth is always open and ears wide taking it all her wisdom. She inspires me everytime she speaks!
I agree with you, Ridhita. She is the picture of wisdom and elegance.
Do not get your intelligence or wisdom from strangers.
@Kevin Madden , thanks for the suggestion but we will keep doing that , 😂😂😂
*His mouth. *His wisdom. *He inspires
I was not going to comment on this one...just save to my playlist. BUT You said everything I feel. (my politics here, ..My DD was in 2nd year at Princeton 2008 can you imagine when the student group she was in face timed us as the returns came in...Those kids black white yellow purple were crying. I still have my video of them) Yes, I miss the Obamas and in time have become more appreciative of W, I liked his Dad and always felt W was manipulated by others.
I feel privileged to have lived in a world where the Obamas were 'First Family" I have never before in my life hung a picture of a politician in my home, but now have a copy of that lovely photo of all six of them (counting fur family) outside near a cherry tree in bloom. Their grace and spirit is an example to us all.
I’ve always found the former First Lady to be open and available to others. Her sense of humor is fabulous and she was a good example as a loving parent. You may recall Former First Lady brought her Mother to live in the White House. Her sense about the importance of family and regard and respect for others was always a flattering character attribute as well. Also apparent was her deep commitment to President Obama as both the leader of this country as well as the sincerity for being his wife. It was always clear he was an important priority to her and he was her man.
Love this interview. Good job,Jenna
@Mike Carter .YOU AND YOUR MUM ARE SATAN"S DISCIPLES.
Arlene Hayles 1111111
Jenna looks soooo much like her mom the older she gets. Love these ladies
I was thinking the same thing!
I always thought Jenna looks like her father, and Barbara her sister looks like her mother.
I think she looks like her father, but her twin looks like Laura Bush.
Yes she sure does
True, somewhat. But, she really does look like her father. When she talks, you do get a sense of her mother. So, she talks like her mother, I guess.
Politics aside, how can someone not admire Michelle?! I miss her even more nowadays. 😢
Is she dead or what.
Sharon Newman such stupid comment
@Sharon Newman SHAME ON YOU? Jealous, are you? Must be.
I admire Drag Queens, it takes a lot of guts to parade around in public as something you're not. Kudos Michael Obama
@@maniacram *He
No politics involved, just two wonderful women having an honest conversation! I love how they are sharing memories of being together.
Woman and ladyboy.
Great interview Jenna..but it's hard to have a bad one with Michelle! She always gives me the warm and fuzzies!
Barry has the fuzzy bits.
*michael Obama
Lolz haters have so much time 😂😂
What a sweet conversation between two awesome women!
Sweet? Too sweet to be wholesome more like.
Woman and ladyboy.
Great interview! Thank you Michelle and Jenna 😘
Mercedes Mendez They have much in common politically.
This was a very good interview by Jenna Bush. I enjoyed watching and listening.
Ignore the black woman much?
This was beautiful.
Thank you Jenna for an incredibly candid, humble and heartwarming interview. You've grown up to be an awesome person.
And Mrs. Obama... you were a God send for our nation and your legacy will shine bright forever.
Unlike her dad?
I don't even feel like this was an interview, it was just two friends hanging out.
@@krisfrederick5001 It Feels Good Watching And Listening To This!
Jenna was sooo down to Earth and humble. Michelle looked sooo classy and answered these questions with poise. I love them!
I just finished “Becoming”. Mrs Obama is an amazing writer. She related an awesome story. Thank you, Mrs Obama!
Good interview. It was easy to see the respect between the two women. Thanks for sharing.
Woman and ladyboy.
Oh my what a great interview! Thank you Michelle and Jenna for these 22:16 minutes. Thank you.
You know!!!! hahaha she is silly. she cant talk without saying YOU KNOW :D
Thank you, for your 1 second thinking response.
An excellent interview! Very warm, personal and endearing with each other. We need to see more of this!
I love this interview I’m looking at two people who genuinely like each other who have a real relationship with each other to me look like their having a regular daily conversation and this warms my heart especially since Jenna can relate to some of thing Mrs Obama and the entire family went through living in The White House
For those idiots who refer to the beautiful Michelle Obama as a man, please know that she has a brother. Craig Robinson also graduated from Princeton. He was a basketball coach at Oregon State and Brown University. He looks exactly like his sister Michelle. They could be twins but are not. The Robinsons raised great children who became great adults.
Not 'idiots' : racists. 'Idiots' do not know what they're talking about. To be racist is a conscious decision. Not the same.
@@bigmike6621Why be so mean?
@@bigmike6621 why write and actually broadcast your hateful little idiotic self!
When you are that stupid, hateful and jealous, stay out of the public sphere.
czcams.com/video/J9ixOsjut3E/video.html
@Fishing Family that was fake. Keep believing everything you see on the internet stupid.
Jenna's personality is beautiful and Mrs Obama is inspirational ❤
Good. Civil. Inspiring. You see, people, you DON'T have to be alike, look alike, or vote alike, to sit down and have a friendly discussion. I like both these ladies.
EXACTLY... Such a great interview. Both ladies did so well
That's Intellectual Maturity.....,And Loving Hearts!
Exactly! Thank you so much for saying that. Like Madam Michelle Obama said, our values and our stories go way beyond our opinions on policies. Thank you so much Madam Michelle Obama.
Wish people could just enjoy the interview and not make it political! Look at Michelle and Jenna! It endears my heart! Michelle said it well, they are all Americans and they just have differences in opinions!
YOU KNOW!!!!
A wonderful conversation between two classy ladies!
Correct...❤❤
Amen, Linda!!
Such a breathe of fresh air in the the era of Trump. Michelle you are truly missed.
That's true.
One of the most enlightened classy interviews in a long time! I love them both!
So true
Me too, so often the interviewer doesn't let the person complete a sentence. Jenna did a great job. I'm so impressed with the woman she's grown up to be.
They're both so direct and classy. okay other cultures dont invest in women, not because theyre valueless, but because theyre afraid of the power an educated, independent woman will acquire
Actually more cultures value women more in some places than America!!
Like Hillary Clinton you mean.
Well said...💗💗
YESSS💞💞💞
Not just other cultures. We've never had a woman President, Vice-President or even White House chief of staff in the US. Sure, we do invest in women, but we still have a long way to go to break the glass ceiling, which is what they both agree with in this interview when they emphasize how even today most women are brought up to feel "not good enough" aka the imposter syndrome. Michelle Obama's analogy with 100s of cuts is a good one imho.
How refreshing to hear a FLOTUS speak with such candor, warmth and INTELLIGENCE!
Great job Jenna!
I really enjoyed this wonderful interview.
MAGA!! "YOU KNOW!" read it Michelles voice YOU KNOW
The love fest, you mean.
I watched 7 mins of this. She says a lot but says nothing at the same time. In my country we laugh at people like this. I dont know how can you praise someone stupid. She is obviously not clever. And she uses phrase "you know". This is not hate. This is criticism. Most of these comments are same: "great interview....". Is this army of NPCs or you guys are not real but fake accounts paid by service. Never seen less diverse comments under video. Bye zombies.
Just a reminder to all the die-hard Trump supporters....This is how adults talk to each other. Just saying. : )
Yes! My thoughts exactly :)
F*** off.
@@Masshole4life ...Just another reminder....your reply is how immature adults talk to each other. Just saying. : )
Scott Hay
Lollll.....
@@bigmike6621 ...Do your parents know you're on the computer again? You better go back to bed before they find out! Good boy.
What a fabulous interview! Michelle's intelligence, grace, and classiness threaten a lot of people. So sad. Jenna Bush is a wonderful interviewer and represents her family well. I really miss people like them. And I wonder why people who obviously don't like someone take the time to watch?
Michelle Obama is everywhere with her book this is great! Great interviews!
the most influential woman in this decade!
Man.
Mrs. Obama has the biggest heart. she always has and i always thought she was awesome and she still is. :D
And biggest mouth...
@@tanyal5207 Shut up, Tanya.
@ Tanya Leshkevich your jealously is "not" BECOMING !
She has a big brain also, "she graduated from Princeton University AND Harvard Law School"
Now chew on that. 😄😄😄
Oh and God bless you too.
@Mr. NPC Michelle is not afraid to say it like it is, but the way she words it is better than I would word things. LOL
@Mr. NPC it is,pretty clear u r gay,i have nothing against gays, but try and control yourself,women don't have balls fool,all u can think of is male genitals
Beautiful Black woman. All woman the kind that other women aspire to be.
Demo B she most certainly is
Yes!
Our beautiful former First Lady inside out, a class act!
If you dislike this woman, you are simply just a hater.
She is perfection. She is class. She will be forever admired & remembered...
The ending was unexpected... Jenna: "What are you becoming now?" Michelle: "More confident." That's awesome for us at our level to hear this from someone at her level. Consistency of effort helps us evolve to address and re-address our goals.
This was a great interview with two great women. It really just looked liked two women chatting it up. Jenna did a great job and you could see a genuine interest on her part which was great to see.. Mrs. Obama is so relatable. Love and miss her. She is such a great role model to young girls/women everywhere. I'm looking forward to reading her book. Haters are going to hate. Their petty nastiness towards Mrs. Obama says more about them than her, especially other women being so hateful. It's hard enough to be women in this male dominated world. The world would be a different place if women supported each other and stopped being so catty and petty towards each other.
@diana d Very good comment! Feel the same! 👌👍💗
Diana D Has day was
Who else came here for michelle obama ✋
Looking for likes , What else are you going to come to a Michelle Obama video for .......
Kj Live 😃😃😃😃😃
A man !!
@@bigmike6621 she is not a man. There are photos of her as a child, but you know that. You are just here to hate, grow up.
Two very smart women. Michelle Obama is a a wonderful person Jenna Bush is a good interviewer.
Do you live with them or what?
@kotugirl Weerasekare & Kevin Madden here is the deal. I am a West Indian Canadian. You have to know the color or creed of a person is not in play I could have happily sat in my stuff chair wrapped in my blanket and listen to these two women talk all day about anything they want. I appreciate them both equally and I wish people would stop tearing each other down. Their ideas the color of their skin where they come from if they are right left or centre. What difference does it make, if you don't like what is being said or written move on to something much more pleasant and pleasing it would make your day go so much smoothly. Have a good day
They are both very genuine women. Genuine is very attractive. Love them both.
Woman and ladyboy.
Michelle is so eloquent.
Wow, that was one of the more interesting and informative MO interviews I've seen. Great job Jenna!
I love u guys Wow that was one of the more intersting🙏👍🏿❤️💋(Elizabeth T/Tsion)
So you never complimented Michelle, well done you. Wow.
@@kevinmadden1152
I don't understand your point. Is this just another example of pointless, unwarranted outrage designed to make you feel good about yourself?
It was a back scratching session , a love fest if you will,no hard questions , and if so, soft answers,two friends having a chat, not an interview hardly interesting or informative.
@@kevinmadden1152
That's YOUR opinion, nothing more. I rather enjoyed this conversation.
Wonderful, wonderful interview by Jenner Bush Hager love these two ladies❤️❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙💙💙💙💯

I always knew both have a clear understanding of the life they have chosen to live. And we need to learn to extend grace to these people. We have no real clue what really goes on behind those doors 95% of us would buckle under the pressure. I may have not agreed with their politics. But always admired her intelligence, class, and work ethic.
Brilliant interview and I love her for her truth and honesty , as well as kindness to and love of people.
Top Class!
Jenna seemed so honored to have this interview! This is the way two totally different political parties interact and HELP one another! We are each others success! Human beings doing their best to help the human race!
Lakeba Davis
I believe both Bush daughters are liberal! That doesn't really matter! Both ladies in this interview are amazing! I'm not liberal, or American, and I actually like listening to Mrs Michelle Obama! The things said about this woman are *HORRENDOUS* I wish we all could stop the 12 year old name calling games, back & forth!! Hugs from Canada, to you and your family!
This was a really good interview!
It was, if you like back scratchin'.
So much class
Love michelle obama!! and jenna did a stunning job, loved all her questions they were so insightful and the last couple were so fun
Michelle Obama! I love this interview and her voice! She is a positive role model!
You love hemmorhoids too I bet
@Nick Hamill only thing "she " knows is on the knees and backdoor
@@FlaMan991, you are sick. She's more a lady than Malania has ever been.
@@tammytruthout8465 But OUR First Lady was born with a natural vagina..
Tammy , that name ..Tammy, Tammy , Tammy.. like the girl in school who would blow all the guys.. Barry did the same.. Barry and Tammy...knee pad award winners
I really, really like her. Shes a great person, with humanity, empathy, grace.
Jenna looks like her Mum, frmr FLOTUS,Laura Bush.Classy lady interviewing yet another classy lady,Michelle Obama!
Great interview!
If I hear one more time that this woman is really a man I’m gonna start taking these Trump supporters down.......they are jealous and angry that they have absolutely no dirt on this classy family that is a role model for all....this woman stands by her man and supports him fully and raising their two girls is a duel parent accomplishment....
LOL LOL LOL AND JUST HOW ARE GOING TO TAKE THEM DOWN?
Princess Chewie Thank you!! These people are sick
check her danicin on ellen show clip something is swinging in the wind
well...consider the source...they are so full of resentment over having a black president for 8 years,...they are willing to throw their support behind a mentally ill, bankrupt, con man president with a 3rd graders mastery of the english language.
Laugh AT them! They have NOTHING else but a fictitious LIE to spread about this phenomenal woman. Laugh at their stupidity. Laugh at their insecurity. Laugh at their misogyny. They are nothing more than weak minded individuals who are hiding their racism behind a ridiculous fabricated lie.
Jenna has a good mom as role model. It comes through. Ivanka would not be this humble.
She be my first vote. For any office.
Except grammar office.
@@kevinmadden1152 She something to look at I see have winning. Don't matter about her brain I like but most look her an well see hips and dips.
Glad these two came together
Excellent interview. Michelle Obama, you inspire me. Thank you
Michelle is only inspiring her book,money is her god, not you or me.
michelle obama is such an intelligent, classy, good-hearted person. i am so glad to be hearing her voice again. and jenna has grown into a wonderful lady, and has become a really wonderful interviewer. a beautiful interaction of truth and love and modeling as women, mothers, citizens...what a delight to hear this dialogue!!
I absolutely love the kindness and friendship between the Bush and Obama families. Such amazing, genuine, Americans.
This was a real joy to watch. Thank you! :)
Two of my favorite ladies. I love Michelle Obama and I love Jenna Bush!!
Two of your favourite ladies? You need to get out more.
@@FlaMan991 Hmmm. JEALOUSY MUCH!! I wonder what you are, COWARD!! Great to hide behind a computer and criticize others. Others who you yourself couldnt hold a candle to!!!
@@kevinmadden1152 NO, I do not. I mean they both are the epitomy of CLASS, ELEGANCE, AND BEAUTY, and KINDNESS. The opiinion is mine and mine alone. Its mine and you donr have to agree!

You mean Michael don't you?.Since Barry like men this is a perfect marriage.He like men and always has.nothing but a former President who like men..
Nice job Jenna! You were the right person to do this interview. Thank you both!
Two beautiful souls! Bless them!

Miss her. Miss them.
Take note people this is the end result of Good family value,Love,Educated,Good work ethics ,and many more combi es together and this is the End result.
Bravo Mrs.Obama what a Good Role Model.
Now if people still have some negative thi gs to say on about this Ladie i guess that has to be definitely a reflect o you.
Like your spelling?
Kevin Madden dont have a job or is troll your job...ur on lots of comments here...just saying
Michelle Obama and Jenna Bush are a class act!!!
Pure class
soy face
this is classiness at highest level. Jenna looks beautiful and so gracious. 2 intelligent woman with differing views, but show lotsa classiness 💙❤️
10:51 - You cannot fake that happy smile when Jenna started to tell her she got a text from her dad. =)
I love this convo.
Lick fest combo.
I am reading 'becoming 'now🥰great book
I often feel bad for presidents kids because they didn't ask to be presidents kids. This interview is awesome!
What about single parents kids?
Kevin Madden not to sound insensitive, but I think you missed the point of what I was trying to say. Single parents do not have anything to do with what I was talking about. Unless you are referring to JFK or Lincoln’s kids that has nothing to do with that I was saying. If you read what I write I specifically said presidents kids. I am not referring to the general public. LoL
I appreciate your reply, although if you are presidents kids it is more of a plus than a minus,the benefits will outweigh the drawbacks dont you agree.
Kevin Madden I think you are still missing it. If you are not aware the interviewer is a former president kid. Which is why I made that original comment. She is interviewing a former First Lady. I am not arguing if presidents kids have it harder than kids of single parents. Every single person in life has their own struggles. If we start a contest of “who has it worse” then we both lose. Once again I think what you are saying has nothing to do with my original comments.
Your original comment says you OFTEN feel bad for presidents kids. That is giving too much empathy to people that you or I will have anything to do with.
I love the way she speaks.
How do you understand ooh ooh ooh ooh
@Mary Are you done whining?
Ugh! I love Michelle Obama so much. I love that Jenna did this interview. They were wonderful together.
What a beautiful, real interview!
Great questions, great interview ❤️
WONDERFUL INTERVIEW!! MICHELLE OBAMA YOU ARE A AMAZING WOMAN!! YOU ARE MY HERO!!
It is so great to listen to authentic, transparent and caring people.
I SO admire this strong, smart, beautiful Black woman 🖤
I am laughing at the thought Melania may one day try to sell a book.
TheCinefile lmaoooo true...if she can even write...🤣
It will be called: NATASHA FATALE IN THE WHITE HOUSE
stop that!l.....BE BEST...LMFAO!!! YOU NOT RIGHT FOR THIS COMMENT!...LOL
She'd copy things from Michelle's book to put in her own. Like she did with Michelle's speeches. 😂
She'll steal her words again like she did for her speech during the Repub. National Convention.
Great interviews.. a lot to learn from . Thank you, Jenna and mrs.Obama!

Awesome interview. Two very classy women.
I could listen to Michelle Obama all day she's fab!
Both these women have a class that breaks barriers.
Gosh, Jenna looks so much like her mom. Great interview between two great ladies.
This is such a great interview! ;-)
I love this!!💖💕
Michelle Obama is the epitome of intelligence and class. Absolutely love her.
Enjoyed watching Jenna Bush interview Michele Obama. Very touching.
