Kathie Lee Gifford recently shared an extraordinary story during an appearance on the\u00a0Sage Steele Podcast<\/em>, a moment that stunned listeners and shed light on a lesser-known chapter of her life. Seated comfortably in a knitted sweater and jeans, the legendary TV host and singer-songwriter took a reflective journey through her decades-long career, the lingering grief of losing her husband, Frank Gifford, and the complexities of her friendship with President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

The conversation took an unexpected turn when Kathie recounted a chilling incident from 31 years ago\u2014a time when she was preparing to host the\u00a0Miss America Pageant<\/em>. She had her newborn daughter by her side when the FBI contacted Frank with an urgent warning: a dangerous criminal was on the loose and had targeted his wife.<\/p>\n

The FBI advised Frank to continue as if nothing was wrong, so the suspect wouldn\u2019t realize he was under surveillance. But Frank wasn\u2019t willing to take any risks with his wife and child\u2019s safety. With fear tightening its grip, he turned to someone he trusted implicitly\u2014Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Kathie became emotional as she recalled Frank\u2019s conversation with the future president. \u201cDonald said\u2014this is why I will love this man for my whole life\u2014he said, \u2018Frank, don\u2019t you worry about it. I\u2019ve got your girls. I\u2019ve got your girls, and don\u2019t you worry,\u2019\u201d she shared, her voice thick with emotion.<\/p>\n

Frank, reassured by Trump\u2019s words, called the FBI back and told them he had Donald\u2019s word that he would handle the situation. Meanwhile, Kathie had no idea any of this was happening.<\/p>\n

The next day, she received a call from Trump himself. He was sending his private helicopter to ensure that she and her daughter made it home safely. He also arranged for a personal security team to protect her, ensuring that she was surrounded by trained professionals until the threat was neutralized.<\/p>\n

Kathie vividly remembered the moment she realized just how serious the situation was. \u201cThere were four of his security guys there,\u201d she recounted, still processing the extent of Trump\u2019s intervention even decades later.<\/p>\n

For days, she had round-the-clock protection, with armed guards stationed outside her hotel room. But it wasn\u2019t until the morning of the pageant that the full reality of the danger she had been in finally hit her.<\/p>\n
