sydney powell, michael flynn, a corporate executive. it was a meeting that the most extreme version of a coup, i plan to order the military to abuse its power at the department of defense to help trump steal the election. the draft of the plan was even written down. which is why lawyers ranging from the white house counsel, rudy giuliani coming worn trump not to get the secretary of defense to do this. it won't work and it's a crime. we know this is too much for even rudy giuliani. we have some idea where there was so much shouting and those different rooms that they moved around too. about who was tough or a coward or worse. while it lasted over five hours. they were fighting over whether or not to involve the military. how did these people get into the white house without an appointment or clearance? it's not like skipping the line at the dmv. it is something that mystified the probe latest witness, sip alone, at the time. >> i didn't understand how they got in. i looked at them and said, who are you? >> he doesn't get how they were i

you as a republican, michael, have to have been alarmed watching this particular strain of white nationalist christianity eat up the republican party that you love. >> well, yeah. not just alarm -- >> yeah, i got that. not just alarmed but like robert, i'm really concerned about it and have expressed as much as often as i can. i mean, you know, i understand the trek. i got the relationship -- the political relationship that ragan embraced in order to get the support of white christian evangelicals in the south because the party had to win in order to win the presidency, it had to win the south. the democrats basically controlled the south at that time right through much of his first term, so this relationship, you know, the first time the party says, all right, we're going to embrace it and we'll put in our platform a pro life plan. immediately after ro in the '76 cycle, the party didn't embrace that. we've got to put it in our plan. it wasn't until they recognized the political power of the moral majority that ralph freed and so many began to espouse as a political force, not just a biblica

and let's go back to that crazy meeting in the white house, with crazy sydney powell, crazy michael flynn, coming in, essentially arguing that, in front of the president of the united states, that he staged a military coup. right, that he lost an election, and he doesn't like losing an election, so they were proposing that he sent troops out of their barracks, and go sees the voting machines. that is a military coup, that the president seriously entertained. you have the white house officials, you know, running in, the white house lawyers, this is on december 18th, trying to counteract this insanity that powell and flynn were talking about. you know, giuliani, hovering around. and i don't think anything that this ever happened at the white house. but there's substance about that is really the shocking thing, and because trump in the end, he didn't go with sydney powell's for a military coup. he didn't do what his white house lawyers were advising him to do, which was to finally recognize that he lost the election. he decided on a third course, and that third horse was to summoned the mob,

person who worked at the white house is or somebody that worked for a long time. you know, it's difficult because there are many staff members who are their upwards of 50 years and some of them that i didn't include here were clerical staff members. so it's very common in looking at sort of the 19 about the turn of the 20th century to see people that come on during the mckinley administration and stay through fdr and even beyond that into the 60s. so there have been many staff members that have worked for a long time. so i hesitate to to name somebody to that honor, but but definitely you see people that stay from administration to administration and it continues today a lot of the workers at the white house still have been there for a very long time. john wants to know where their slave quarters on the white house grounds in the early days. that's a great question and lena can also chime into this. so we've been doing some research to try to figure out a little bit more about where enslaved workers would have lived the ground floor of the white house, which was o

and michael flynn and others. eric hirschman was saying, you can't seize voting machines for that is the starting point. the most memorable thing about that meeting, a couple hours after it ended, at 1:42 a.m. on december 14, donald trump sends a tweet. be there or be wild. >> take michael flynn, sidney powell, rudy giuliani, this is not normal. this is bad. this is what is so alarming about it. we had people in the oval office, and the residence, trying to get the president to do the things that would've been historically dangerous. historically abuse of power. historically irresponsible. only because of a few level heads, so baloney, hirschman and others, he was drawn back from the brink of that. >> what are you say about people who do not speak out about it? do you think that cipollone would've had information ? see the -- >> we are talking about historically unprecedented. imagine any other administration in the history of this country had links directly or indirectly to extremist groups, right? i would want t

e january 6th committee presenting a number of shocking details today including evidence that michael flynn and roger stone worked with far right militia leaders ahead of the capitol riot. the committee also playing new video of testimony of then white house counsel pat cipollone and ivanka trump about whether they believed trump should concede the election despite his insistence falsely that he won. >> did you in your mind believe the president should concede the election loss at a certain point after the election? >> well, again, i was the white house counsel. some of those decisions are political. so to the extent that, if your question is did i believe he should concede the election at a point in time, yes, i did. i believe leader mcconnell went on to the floor of the senate, i believe in mid-december, and basically said the process is done. that would be in line with my thinking on these things. >> december 14th was the day on which the electoral college met. it was obviously a public proceeding or series of proceedings that president biden had obtained the requisite number of el

joining me now, mike memoli, michael beschloss, and dr. peter hotez. dr. hotez, we got a note from the white house saying this is day zero, not day one. for those not versed in covid protocol, what does that mean for him and people who may have been around him? >> in terms of the number of days of isolation and when to think about repeat testing, you would start counting from day zero. that's the significance of this. i'm optimistic he will do well given the fact that he has had two boosts. he maxed out his vaccinations. he is on paxlovid. the fact he is sitting up, looking well, those are good monitor. we have to be careful about ensuring this is not a slam dunk and assuming he is totally out of the woods yet. >> if you remember the white house medical team, if you are the president's doctor, the stakes obviously go up pretty high. what would they beof monitoringg an eye on him? what would have to happen before someone on the medical team would say, it's no longer okay for him to be at the white house? >> if he is having oxygen if he becomes lethargic and

the former journalist and marine was brought into the white house as a top asia adviser by michael flynn, who he worked for in the military. according to the "new york times" pottinger told the committee he alerted trump's chief of staff, mark meadows, the national guard had still not arrived at the capitol on january 6th. former deputy press secretary sara matthew was one of several white house aides calling for trump to condemn the violence on january 6. a source tells cnn his inaction led to her resignation that night. >> he said that we could make the rinos do the right thing is the way he phrased it. no one spoke up initially because i think everyone was trying to process what he meant by that. >> reporter: now she will testify about what she experienced in the white house that day. >> it was clear that it was escalating, escalating quickly, so then when that tweet, the mike pence tweet, was sent out, i remember us saying that that was the last thing that needed to be tweeted at that moment. the situation was already bad and so it felt like he was pouring gasoline on the fire by twe

alex michael sydney. he's joining us now from right outside the white house and alex. of course, this visit, stirring up a lot more talk about governor nuisance. possible presidential ambitions. a lot of talk indeed, alex good evening from the white house. president biden is not here tonight. he's actually on a trip to saudi arabia. governor newsom spending much of his day here. and the political world. certainly talking. how you feeling? yesterday we were on hand exclusively as governor. gavin newsom enters the west wing of the white house amid speculation about his political future. californians are lucky to have them. they have our back. we have their back and there's no greater partner. the governor accepting a national award on behalf of california from the national forum on educational policy of bipartisan group. i do believe education is under assault. in ways that i've never experienced in my lifetime california's governor, continuing his public feud with red state governors, including rhonda santis of florida, a potential presidential candidate, but what's hap

never been in a meeting like that in the trump white house. it went on for about five or six hours, in various rooms, including in the residence. outside advisers led by sidney powell, but also including michael flynn and patrick are in, the ceo of overstock.com showed up for announced at the white house, found themselves with an audience of the president of the united states. for many hours, they tried to convince him to authorize sidney powell to become a special counsel for voting matters, they tried to optimize seizing voting machines, they pushed a whole range of the bunk series about fraud. and a team of folks from the white house, led by pat cipollone came in and pushed back on a lot of those claims, and tried to dispute some of the far-fetched nature of it. and then after midnight, at the end of the meeting, they get up with no resolution, and former president trump soon tweeted after that folks should come to the capital on january 6th, and it will be wild. a little unclear why he tweeted that. i talk to multiple people yesterday with

it included a ragtag group of coup plotters, people like sydney powell, michael flynn, rudy giuliani, and of course who could forget, former overstocked outcomes ceo patrick byrne. last week, we learned new details about what happened during that meeting, and how trump white house counsel, pat cipollone, reacted when he first learned about it. >> after gaining access to the building from the junior white house staffer, the group made their way to the oval office. they were able to speak with the president by himself for sometime until white house officials learned of the meeting. what ensued was a heated and profane clash between this group and president trump's white house advisers, who traded personal insults, accusations of disloyalty to the president, and even challenges to physically fight. >> i was not happy to see the people who are in the oval office. well, again, i don't think they were providing -- well, first of all, the overstock person, i've never met, i never knew who this guy was. actually, the first thing i did, i walked in, i looked at him, i said, who are you? and he

phil mattingly, cnn, the white house. >>> well, i want to bring in political analyst michael genovese. thank you so much for joining us, michael. >> my pleasure. >> so, the u.s. president said, there's much more work to be done to stop this gun violence, and that seems to be an understatement. when you lukook at the number o mass shootings in the u.s., more massacres than there have been days. what else is achievable in the near future? >> well, president biden is politically vulnerable. he has a razor thin majority in the house and 50/50 split in the senate, so, politically, he's on pretty thin ice. there is a bipartisan effort right now going on that has reached agreement on some very minor things that will be helpful, but not enough. the problem is that every time we have a mass shooting, which seems to come every other week, we follow a kind of a script. mass shooting takes place, republicans say it's not the time for politics, it's a time for prayer. democrats say, well, let's roll out the old stale reforms. and in, effect, nothing gets done, because the forces against reform, th

roger stone, michael flynn and i all wrongdoing but they cannot deny the fact they had connections to these groups. if they were planning for violence or had knowledge of violence, that is the key question of the committee and the committee wants to illuminate and we will have to find out on tuesday. >> we will keep an eye on it and we will be watching on tuesday. marshall koehn, thanks so much. >> thanks, guys. >> we are learning more about pat cipollone is testimony. zoe lofgren did not contradict the testimony of other witnesses but, she said, not contradicting is not the same as confirming. >> he could say so and so was wrong, which he did not say. there were things he may not be present for or, in some cases could not recall with precision. my sense was that he did appear voluntarily. i think he was candid with the committee. he was careful in his answers. and i believe he was honest in his answers. >> law and says the committee got new information from the baloney and that will be presented at upcoming hearings. >>> defense attorney and former prosecutor, shangluo, is here to ta

also join me from the white house senior advisor, andy slavitt. and also dr. michael poster home. i understand you have been in touch with dr. shaw ahead of this briefing. can you share what you learned or what we will learn shortly? >> first of all, the president is fine and doing well. effectively, this is a strong reminder that the tools we have, vaccinations, paxlovid, doing regular testing, are really important for all of us. if he had have been doing regular testing i don't think he would even know he had been infected. he is isolating, as he should be. most importantly, these are tools that a lot of americans haven't taken advantage of yet but i think people will be good shape if they do. >> you are president biden's senior advisor for covid response in the early months of his presidency. you know how this works in this white house. high level of confidence about the protocols they have in place, in spite of the fact that he tested positive? >> yes but they have been prepared for something like this to happen. the president likes to mix it up. he is a regional politician. h

jacqui heinrich is live at the white house. no mention of speaker pelosi or tariffs in the readouts. >> not a lot of readouts, waiting more information out of the white house briefing but it was the longest call between the two leaders since biden took office, two hours and 17 minutes. we just got a photo from the white house showing it backdrop of speaker pelosi's planned visit to taiwan, u.s. military has made ready overlapping rings of protection on the air and the ground if pelosi chooses to go. china says if she challenges china's red line on taiwan, it would be met with resolute counter measures. neither readout mentions pelosi, but those who play with fire will perish by it, it is hoped the u.s. would be clear eyed about this, goes on to say biden reiterated the one china policy has not changed and will not change and the u.s. does not support taiwan independence. and note the white house readout of the call does not explicitly state that, it says united states policy has not changed and the united states opposes unilate
