Watters then brought on actor Kelsey Grammer, who suggested that the purported Reflecting Pool vandalism shows that “a virus that has infected some — a very small number of people, I think, who just want to tear things down. They have been consumed by hatred, and, of course, hatred ends up basically destroying you.”

Actor Kelsey Grammer: We have a unifying concept

Jesse Watters and actor Kelsey Grammer explore the Reflecting Pool's symbolism as America's mirror, reflecting history and heritage. Grammer laments the 'virus' of hatred that seeks to 'tear things down' and praises Trump's restoration efforts. He emphasizes the importance of celebrating America's past and future, encouraging patriotism and highlighting his 'Patriot War' series on Fox Nation.

Actor Kelsey Grammer shared a message for Americans dissatisfied with the country as some critics obsess over President Donald Trump’s allegedly botched $14.8 million restoration of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

"There is a virus that has infected a very small number of people, I think, who just want to tear things down. They've been consumed by hatred, and of course, hatred ends up basically destroying you," he told "Jesse Watters Primetime" on Tuesday.

"I pray for them. I pray for everyone to find a decent sentiment in their hearts about this country about the people who run it these days."

Grammer’s remarks come amid widespread scrutiny towards Trump’s renovation of the Reflecting Pool over large amounts of algae and peeling paint floating in the water. The president has said vandals damaged the recently renovated attraction and that six people have been arrested in connection to the alleged vandalism.

The dissatisfaction comes at the same time as soccer fans from around the world visit the U.S. for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and share positive impressions of the country, its hospitality and culture – a sentiment Grammer wants more Americans to share.

"It's worth loving, and it's great that we've been given this chance to see [the United States] in the eyes of so many of our European fellows and South American fellows," Grammer said.

The "Frasier" star, who plans to spend America’s 250th anniversary in Washington, D.C., shared a prayerful wish for the nation’s future ahead of its milestone birthday.

"On the 250th anniversary, I want to be with my family, and I want to see a few fireworks, but my real prayer is for the future, for 251 and what happens after that," the actor told host Jesse Watters.

Grammer also revealed details about the non-profit he is working to create that he hopes will bolster patriotism among Americans.

"We're working on this nonprofit thing called the American Revelation…," the actor explained. "We're trying to point the way to a process by which you could actually fall in love with your country. And that's a very important thing to me."

Grammer, who hosts several Fox Nation programs focused on American history, said he is consistently "moved to tears" when he talks about the country.

"I was lucky enough to have some pretty good teachers who felt like they were on a first-name basis with our Founding Fathers. And I carry that with me," he continued. "I respect these people so much and the fact that they did this for me. And I want to just do something to pay them back."

Kelsey Grammer thinks the U.S. education system is “deliberately” failing students.

The actor-turned-MAGA loyalist believes schools are hindering students by teaching them about America’s shortcomings, he said in a clip from conservative commentator—and wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller—Katie Miller’s podcast, previewed by TMZ.

Grammer also said he co-founded the educational nonprofit The American Revelation to counteract the damage he believes our education system delivers. The group creates “content and experiences” that help Americans “explore and celebrate the nation’s history, founding principles, and enduring values,” according to the organization’s website. Grammer hopes his project will combat the idea that America is a “c--p country,” which he thinks schools perpetuate.

“They don’t like the idea that we are a great country,” Grammer said of U.S. teachers. “Something in our education system decided to think that we aren’t and to teach our children that. And, of course, if you were learning that from your teachers, we believe our teachers. And if they say things like, ‘You come from a c--p country,’ well, you start to think, ‘Well, maybe they’re right. I wonder why I come from a c--p place.’”

“So you end up searching your soul for why you’re not a good person,” he continued. “Why you aren’t good anymore. Why our country isn’t good. So that means mom and dad aren’t very good either, are they? And there’s a whole series of questions that come into it.”

Grammer is a longtime supporter of Trump, calling him “one of the greatest presidents we’ve ever had.” He’s also claimed that being a Republican is the “worst thing you can be” in Hollywood and blamed career setbacks on the entertainment industry’s negative perceptions of conservatism. He has said he’s considered running for political office but will wait until his children are older.

The 71-year-old actor has eight kids—four of whom are school-aged —with four different women. He had his youngest four children with his current wife, Kayte Walsh. The couple met on a flight to London, where Grammer was a passenger, and Walsh was a flight attendant. Their youngest son, Christopher, was born in 2025.

“I would consider it,” Grammer said just last month of a potential campaign. “It would possibly tick that box for me, in terms of the service I feel I should have given to my fellow man—to my fellow countrymen—that I missed in the military. Maybe that would be the way to do it. I have wrestled with it.”

As for our schools, Grammer thinks that teachers criticizing America is “basically child abuse,” he said, adding that discussing U.S. pitfalls in class is a “plot.”

“It’s not a theory,” he said of his notion. “It’s a conspiracy. Someone conspired to introduce the idea that we aren’t a good country through our educational system.”

Relationships and children

Grammer has been married four times, and has eight children and one grandchild.[37] His first marriage, to a dance instructor, Doreen Alderman,[38] lasted from 1982 to 1990, although they were separated for the last six years of that period.[39] They have one daughter, the actress Spencer Grammer (born October 9, 1983).[40] Through Spencer, Grammer has one grandson, born on October 10, 2011.[38]

After his divorce from Alderman, Grammer had a daughter, Kandace Greer Grammer (born February 15, 1992), with a hair and makeup stylist, Barrie Buckner. Greer was later a cast member on MTV's show Awkward.[39][41][42] Greer has said that she was estranged from her father from age four through sixteen, when they reconnected by chance.[43]

His second marriage, to Leigh-Anne Csuhany in September 1992,[44] lasted one year. When Csuhany was three months pregnant, Grammer filed for an annulment and evicted her from their home;[39] Grammer claimed she was abusive and fired a gun at him.[8][45] The pregnancy ended in a miscarriage.[citation needed]

In 1994, he met 28-year-old Tammi Baliszewski at a bar in Manhattan Beach, California. In December 1994, they appeared together on the cover of *People* magazine, announcing their engagement and Grammer's substance abuse problems.[46]

In August 1997, Grammer married the dancer and model Camille Donatacci. They met on a blind date in 1996.[47] They have a daughter, born 2001, and a son, born 2004, both through surrogacy.[41] During their marriage, several of Grammer and Donatacci's homes were featured in magazines, including ones in Malibu (February 2001, InStyle), Maui (May 2004, InStyle), Long Island (April 2008, InStyle), Bachelor Gulch (Architectural Digest),[48] and Bel Air, Los Angeles (Architectural Digest). In New York City, they lived at 15 Central Park West.[49][50] On July 1, 2010, it was announced that Camille had filed for divorce.[51] The pair's divorce was finalized on February 10, 2011.[52]

On August 12, 2010, Grammer announced that he was going to be a father to a fifth child, this time with his girlfriend, Kayte Walsh, an English flight attendant 25 years his junior and daughter of the former soccer player Alan Walsh.[53] In October, Grammer announced that Walsh had miscarried six weeks earlier.[54] The couple announced their engagement in December 2010[55] and married at the Plaza Hotel in New York City on February 25, 2011, two weeks after the dissolution of Grammer's third marriage.[56] Grammer and Walsh have a daughter, born July 2012,[57] and two sons, born July 2014[58] and November 2016.[59] On January 18, 2023, it was reported that Grammer had purchased a house in his wife's hometown of Portishead, Somerset, England.[60] In October 2025, Walsh gave birth to their fourth child together, which is Grammer’s eighth child overall.[61]

Faith

In 2001, Grammer described himself as religious and stated that he believed in God, but added that he did not adhere to any particular religion.[62] In 2023, Grammer said that he considered himself a born-again follower of Jesus. He said, "What I found in my life – with the sort of resident malaise that lives in my soul because of some of the things that happened – I have found that in those moments, Jesus is actually more present, more apparent, more readily available than I realised." Grammer said he came to this conclusion when he was standing on a baseball field a while ago, and asked God: "Where were you?" "The answer came: 'I was right there.' I do think that when things are at their worst, that's when Christ is closest." He added that his views in some areas are in line with progressive Christianity.[63]

Murder of Karen Grammer

On July 1, 1975, Grammer's younger sister, 18-year-old Karen Grammer, was raped and murdered by Freddie Glenn and three other men. Grammer identified his sister's body and informed their mother about her death. According to Grammer, his bouts of alcoholism and drug abuse were driven, in part, by guilt and depression over his sister's death, as the pair had been close during childhood.[64]

In a 2012 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Grammer said he would be willing to forgive his sister's murderers if they took responsibility for the crime; however, the accused perpetrators all claimed innocence. In the same interview, Grammer expressed his loss of faith for several years after Karen's death.[65] He subsequently forgave Glenn in a 2014 parole hearing after being convinced of Glenn's contrition, but refused to support his release, saying that it would "be a betrayal of my sister's life".[64] He named his daughter Spencer Karen Grammer in part for his sister.[40]

Karen Grammer's murder and the investigation by the Colorado Springs Police Department was the subject of the episode "Animal Nature" of the Investigation Discovery series Homicide Hunter.[66]

Grammer's 2025 book Karen: A Brother Remembers is about his sister's life and murder, and its effect on his life.[67]

Politics

Grammer has been a longtime supporter of the Republican Party, and he endorsed the Tea Party movement on economic issues such as small government and lower taxes;[68] City A.M. described him as "one of Hollywood's best-known Republicans, a rare spark of red in a blue sea of Democrats".[69]

A New York magazine profile published in 2010 described Grammer as "pro-choice".[70] In 2015, however, his wife posted an Instagram photo of Grammer wearing a T-shirt from the anti-abortion group Abort73.[71]

Grammer has expressed disbelief in the scientific consensus on climate change, comparing the California wildfires to alleged global cooling from his youth and criticized the 2011 and 2018 climate meetings.[72][73][74] Additionally, he stated in a 2016 interview with The Guardian that the person he admired most was Vladimir Putin "because he is so comfortably who he is".[75] In 2019, he issued a statement in support of Brexit.[76]

Grammer has criticized Washington politicians, stating: "I don't think Washington did us any favors for the last 50, 60 years, I think they've all been sort of the same party, the same bunch of clowns".[77] He has expressed an interest in some day running for the United States Congress,[78] Mayor of New York City,[79] and the presidency.[69] In an interview with radio talk show host Frank Morano in August 2021, he indicated that he was no longer interested in running for office.[80] Grammer was a guest at President George W. Bush's first inauguration.[70]

Grammer endorsed Rudy Giuliani in the 2008 presidential primary and later campaigned for John McCain in the general election.[81][82] Grammer also promoted RightNetwork, a conservative start-up American television network.[83] He endorsed Michele Bachmann for the Republican nomination for president in 2012.[84] Grammer later endorsed Mitt Romney after he had won the Republican nomination.[85]

He initially supported Ben Carson's candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, although later stating he would gladly vote for Republican candidate Donald Trump in the upcoming election.[69]

In a December 2023 interview with BBC's *Today* to promote the new series of Frasier, Grammer confirmed that he still supported Trump.[86] Grammer expressed support for Trump again in a May 2025 interview with The Times.[87] At the 2025 Kennedy Center Honors, Grammer called Trump "One of the greatest presidents we've ever had. Maybe the greatest".[88]

Health problems

Grammer has a history of substance abuse.[39] In 1988, he was charged with drunk driving and cocaine possession and sentenced to 30 days in jail.[89] In August 1990, Grammer was charged again with cocaine possession and was sentenced to three years' probation, fined $500, and required to perform 300 hours of community service.[89] In January 1991, Grammer was given an additional two years' probation for violating his original probation through additional cocaine use.[89] In September 1996, he crashed his Dodge Viper sports car while intoxicated, and subsequently checked into the Betty Ford Center for 30 days.[89] Grammer's personal problems affected his work. The cast and producers of both Frasier and Cheers held interventions to help him; co-star Bebe Neuwirth and writer Ken Levine cited delays with rehearsals and filming due to his erratic behavior.[90] The writer Dan O'Shannon recalled:[90]

He would ooze into the studio, his life all out of sorts. Jimmy would say "Action," and he would snap into Frasier and expound in this very erudite dialogue and be pitch-perfect. And Jimmy would yell "Cut!" and he would ooze back into Kelsey—glazed-over eyes, half asleep, going through whatever he was going through. It was the most amazing transformation I'd ever seen.[90]

Grammer credits his religious faith for helping him confront his personal problems.[62]

On May 31, 2008, while paddleboarding with his then-wife Camille in Hawaiʻi, Grammer had a heart attack. Their personal assistant, Scott MacLean, was essential in saving his life.[91] Grammer was discharged on June 4, 2008, and was said to be "resting comfortably" at his Hawaii residence.[92] Seven weeks after the attack, Grammer told Entertainment Tonight that, although his spokesman described the attack as mild, it was more severe as his heart had stopped.[93] Grammer thought Fox's decision to cancel his television sitcom Back to You contributed to his health problems, saying: "It was a very stressful time for me, and a surprise that it was cancelled. But you know, everything that doesn't kill us—which it almost did—makes us stronger!"[94]

Legal issues

In 1988, Grammer was arrested for possession of one-quarter gram of cocaine, after being pulled over in a traffic stop for driving with expired plates in North Hollywood, California. A year earlier, he had been arrested for a DUI in Van Nuys, California, and would go on to serve 14 days of a 30-day sentence. Grammer later served 10 days of community service after failing to comply with the requirements of his parole in 1990. Later in the same year, Grammer was sentenced to 90 days of house arrest, ordered to pay a $500 fine, underwent drug and alcohol abuse counseling, and performed 300 hours of community service for his 1988 cocaine possession case.[95]

In 1995, Grammer was accused of having sex with his child's underage babysitter. A grand jury chose not to indict the actor, stating: "The young woman's delay of more than a year in pressing charges against Mr. Grammer made it difficult to support her claim." Grammer released a statement shortly afterward, saying: "I have said from the outset that there was no basis for the allegations."[96]

In 1996, Grammer's ex-girlfriend, Cerlette Lamme, sued him for defamation of character and invasion of privacy over content he included in his autobiography So Far....[97]

In 1998, Grammer filed a lawsuit against Internet Entertainment Group (IEG), which Grammer claimed had stolen from his home a videotape of him in bed with a woman. IEG counter-sued Grammer, denying it was in possession of such a tape, and Grammer's suit was dropped.[98] IEG President Seth Warshavsky later said, "We have been presented with another Kelsey Grammer tape. But we have no plans to air it. We are still evaluating it at this time."[99]

Actor Kelsey Grammer co-founded The American Revelation, an educational nonprofit initiative. The project aims to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States by encouraging patriotism and exploring the nation's history and founding principles. [1, 2, 3, 4]
