flynn: the yocha dehes been a great partner of ours. they attend our courses on olive growing, on sensory evaluation of olive oil, on the milling of olives for oil. mckay: in talking to the research department at uc davis, i realized that there was a lot of contamination in imported oil simply because it has to be shipped so far. so that became a quest also. we looked at the numbers for developing a mill to crush the olives close by to the fields because the mills that existed were several hundred milesway. in the end, it's fresher, has better taste if it's crushed very quickly after harvest. uc davis has given us an upper hand on development of the olive mill because th had that information at their disposal and they were willing to share it with us. and it was a great boon for our productivity. kinter: we started thinking, hey, what do we want to name this thing? what we came up with was the blue ridge mountains right here. seka means blue in our language. and so we wanted to add some of our tribal language to our brand, and that's ki

talk -- general michael flynn has also taken the bit before this committee. mr. stone previously had been convicted of other federal clients -- president jump --president trump pardoned general fund just after the election. and in july 2020, he commuted the sentence. the night before january 6, president trump instructed his staff to contact both roger stone and michael flynn regarding what would play out the next day. ms. hutchinson, is it your understanding that president trump asked mark meadows to speak with general flynn and mark meadows on january 5. ? >> i am under the question that mr. mentos didam under the imprt mr. meadows completed both called to them on the evening of the fifth. rep. cheney: do you know what they talked about that evening? ms. hutchinson: not sure. rep. cheney: -- war room at the willard hotel? ms. hutchinson: i was aware of that. rep. cheney: do you know mr. meadows ever intended to go to the hotel on that night? ms. hutchinson: he had a conversation with me where he wanted to work with the secret service -- with mr. giuliani in the

i think that it is pretty close. >> tell me about michael flynn? >> roger stone and michael flynn. i can't listen to the proud was directly. except around december the 12th when and re-k. nordean. and roger. we're on the steps of the marriott holding an impromptu rally. >> meaning? >> there was a crowd of like a couple of hundred people. and that they were giving a short speech. it was like up rally. >> we're gonna hear tomorrow. and we'll have you back depending on what comes out of the hearings tomorrow this week. thank you nick. it's a pleasure. i appreciate you. >> president biden is facing pressure from the middle of a struggling economy and a series of seismic supreme court. rulings now there's some new polling that shows most democrats don't want him on the ballot in 2024. to freeze your pain and your doubt. heat makes it last. so youou'll never sit this one out. nenew icy hot pro with 2 max-strength pain relievers. hey, caleb. what's going on? homework. i'm supposed to lear how to cook a souffle. i have no clue what you're saying. yeah, i said that you sho

what happened to michael flynn. this is a great question to ask. >> what happened? >> because there is a lot of people that i've looked up to for a long time in the military, a lot of people that i consider to be great patriots that will tell you that in his time, before he went crazy, that general flynn, and i heard this from one after another, was one hell of a intel operator. he was a guy, i think it was general mccaffrey, who said he's a guy you wanted on your side in the past. >> yeah. this is the thing. think about what it takes to be of good intelligence officer. you need to have discernment, judgment, and understanding of facts, respect for evidence, and the things that this guy says now out on tour around the country are just remarkably off the wall. you know, as though your doctors started telling you to drink a lead diet because that's the new key to health. he has endorsed the craziest election conspiracies. the idea that the italian government used military satellites to change votes in election machines from trump to biden. the idea that covid is a hoa

that one point, general flynn took out a diagram that supposedly showed -- all over the world. who was communicating with whom, the machines, some comment about thermostats being hooked up to the internet. >> it's been reported that during this meeting, mr. paul talked about dominion voting machines and made various foreign fraud claims and mentioned country such as venezuela, iran, and china. is that accurate? >> the fifth. >> was the meeting tense? >> oh, yeah. it was not a casual meeting. >> explain. >> at times, there were people shouting at each other, hurling insults at each other. it wasn't just people sitting around on a couch chitchatting. >> do you recall -- miss powell the action the campaign had lost all of the 16 cases they had brought in litigation? >> yes, he raised that. >> what was the response? >> i don't remember what's she said. i don't think it was a good response. >> herschmann and whoever the other guy was said nothing but contempt for this thing of the president. >> three of them were really forcefully attacking me verbally. eric, derek, and we are pushi

mike flynn was fighting. they were oking for avenues that would enable -- that wod result in president trump remaining president trump for a second term. >> the meeting finally ended after midnight. here are text messages sent by cassidy hutchinson during and after the meeting. as you can see, ms. hutchinson reported that the meeting in the west wing was unhinged. the meeting finally broke up after midnight. during the early morning of december 19, cassidy hutchinson captured the moment of mark meadows escorting rudy giuliani off the white house grounds to "make sure he didn't wander back into the mansion." certain accounts of this meeting indicate that president trump actually granted ms. powell security clearance and appointed her to a somewhat ill-defined position of special counsel. >> he asked pat cipollone if he had the authority to name a special counsel and he said yes. and then he asked him if he had the authority to give me whatever security clearance i needed and pat cipollone said yes. and then th

rudy giuliani, sydney powell, general flynn, the crazies had shown up. apparently, it was all worth it for rudy giuliani, because he got to sit in the cabinet room alone, maybe he even got to sit in the presidents chair in the cabinet room, as any child would want to. when the crazies left the building, donald trump arrived at his presidential decision. he decided not to order the department of defense to seize voting machines. instead, he ordered his civilian troops to come to washington. he did that at 1:42 am. donald trump tweeted, big protest in d.c., on january 6th. be there, will be wild! the committee presented evidence from a twitter official, about how that specific tweet electrified violin supporters of donald trump, who relayed the trump message. >> we are going to only be saved by millions of americans, moving to washington, occupying the entire area, if necessary, storming right into the capitol. we know the rules of engagement. if you have enough people, you can push down any kind of offense or a wall. >> trump supporting website delivered

evening of december 18, 2020, sydney powell, general michael flynn and others entered the white house for an unplanned meeting with the president, multiple hours and hot blooded and contentious. the executive order behind me on the screen was drafted on december 16th, just two days after the electoral college vote by several of the president's outside advisers over a luncheon at the trump international hotel. as you can see here, this proposed order directs the secretary of defense to seize voting machines "effective immediately," goes further than that. under the order, president trump would appoint a special counsel with the power to seize machines and then charge people with crimes with all resources necessary to carry out her duties. the specific plan was to name sydney powell a special counsel. the trump lawyer who had spend post election period making out lan dish claims about venezuela and chinese interference in the election among others. what pat cipollone, white house counsel, had to say about sydney powell's qualifications to take on expansive authority. >> i don't think sy

let's briefly view a clip of general mike flynn taking the fifth amendment. >> general flynn, do you believe the violence on january 6th was justified? yes. >> all right. back. congresswoman cheney, could you repeat the question first? >> yes. general flynn, they believe the violence on january 6th justified? >> can i get clarification? are you asking you the question? i'm >> i'm asking both. >> i said the fifth. >> do you think that the violence on january 6th was justified morally? >> i take the fifth. >> do you believe the violence on january 6th was justified legally? >> general flynn, do you believe in the peaceful transition of power in the united states of america? >> the fifth. >> let's move on now to january 6th and the conduct of donald trump and mark meadows during the attack on the capital. miss hutchinson, i'd like now for us to listen to a description, you are description, of what transpired in the west wing during the attack. the context in this clip, you described is starting about 2 pm. >> mark meadows office for quite some time and we have spoken about [inaudible] a

mike flynn was fighting. they were looking for outlets that would enable, that would result in president trump remaining president trump for a second term. >> the meeting finally ended after midnight. here are text messages sent by cassidy hutchinson, during and after the meeting. as you can see, miss hutchinson reported that the meeting in the west wing was unhinged. the meeting finally broke up after midnight, during the early morning of december 19th. cassidy hutchinson captured the moment of mark meadows escorting rudy giuliani off the white house grounds, to quote, make sure he didn't wander back into the mansion. >> otherwise, he might have wondered back to the mansion. heck, you might still be in that camera room right now. certainly, not taken by the -- also, a diet dr. pepper, has some explaining to do. i wanted to do step brand-new addition to the msnbc family, who are very excited to have back here with us. alex wagner! yay. who is joining us this hour. great to have you here, alex. >> i'm excited

and we heard from this committee roger stone, michael flynn, the trump associate and also, flynn, the former national security adviser at the trump white house, both will be singled out as part of this hearing. now in addition to that a big focus will be on a december 18th meeting that occurred in the white house where there were a number of discussions under way about how to overturn the elections, december 18, 2020, several weeks after joe biden won, talking about seizing of voting machines, potentially naming a special counsel. all of which we expect to hear from the committee more details about. also we expect to hear video deposition from pat cipollone, the trump white house counsel who was questioned extensively about that mid-december meeting. after that mid-december meeting there was a tweet that came out from donald trump that essentially urged his supporters to come to washington. the committee plans to show how that tweet led to the planning of these extremist groups that led to all the death and destruction that occurred in the capitol on january 6. but there will be live

was there agreement preceding that with any of the ragtag flynn pal folks there? they don't -- they haven't detailed it. but even -- but certainly, it's something that is there, that needs to be investigated now, and the other big ticket item that hutchinson's testimony puts into play for him, inciting the riot, which is another very serious charge carrying a long penalty, that, i think, has been very strongly documented, just with the testimony we've had to date. so prosecutors are hunched over to try to hear the agreement part, but otherwise, the relationship between trump and the violence took a huge turn as of hutchinson's testimony, and it continued today with different elements showing this is just what he wanted to happen, indeed, just what he was orchestrating. >> you know, jackie, something that didn't happen, that the right was hopeful would happen, that they sowed seeds of disinformation around after cassidy hutchinson's testimony, was that there wouldn't be corroboration, that there wasn't already corroboration. the committee has confirmed that pat cip

former national security adviser michael flynn. he was in that crazy december 18th meeting where there was talk about martial law and seizing voting machines. so, he's going to also be looked at today. we should note, roger stone and michael flynn have not been charged in this. >> pam, we'll pause for one second. john, we want to bring you, in the witnesses today, this convicted rioter, what is important for the committee to get from him, to tie him to what? >> well, i think they'll want to hear about what role donald trump and his rhetoric played on inspiring the attack on the capitol. notice the communication between any cooperation between donald trump and anybody on his team and domestic violence or extremist groups involved in the riot. i'm not sure we'll have that. but i do think we'll have powerful testimony that donald trump's words and actions inspired the attack on the capitol. >> pamela, i know also you have some reporting on pat cipollone's deposition where that meeting, that insane meeting factor, still large? >> yeah.

he has funded the arizona audit of the 2020 election along with michael flynn. they founded a group called the america project that is supposedly dedicated to election integrity. what do we know about his continued efforts to fund and promote these conspiracy theories in our country? >> they haven't really stopped. he was sort of a prolific blogger in advance of january 6th trying to amplify some of these conspiracy theories, ideas that foreign governments had somehow infiltrating voting machines and changing votes and his theories in some ways seeded a lot of the other conspiracy theories that made up donald trump sorted and they all fit together to make up the justification for things, like seeding voting machines, claiming there was foreign interference so that trump could use his extraordinary powers to use the military as part of this effort to invoke the insurrection act and things like that -- trump never did any of these things, which is an important point to note. but the fact that he considered them, a, is extraordinary, and b filter down to some of th

here, with michael flynn. they also show roger stone in group chats with the leaders of the oath keepers in the proud boys. stone denies this. discuss the threat to follow that can link trump to knowledge of what was happening, phil? >> go ahead. elliott. you are gonna answer. >> no. it can, right? i think in order to get the president, which is the question everyone has. what, specifically, did the president have? you need more direct communication then is available right now. now, again, is this disqualifying for a future office? absolutely. now, there's all sorts of other crimes that they have committed here, namely, witness tampering. we're gonna talk about this today. conspiracy against the united states. but this incitement to violence question and whipping up hate groups and charging the president, it's gonna be incredibly difficult to do based on the information available to the public. again, we don't know what the justice department has. the way justice department works, it's not public with what is

so in flynn spoke. william can continue to live with his parents was on once the summer vacation is over. he'll go to school here monday and but that's hardly cause for celebration for him. he still thinks about the friends he had to leave behind in denmark. oh yeah. okay. and press yes. oh. is the danish state doing an injustice to children like william social worker did to point? i'm says no, she defends the danish policy saying it isn't arbitrary. and each individual case has to have legal grounds. stop mid mid last up, loose and see the debate over forced adoptions has led to some parenting, young afraid to see help from the child protection authorities are remedial, even if you like the killing of that something that we were gret very much when he got any that openings so cabinet has a decision by the authorities can be appealed in so many students at that time. and if a parent still isn't happy with the outcome from the next authority that many can go to court, really. that's what hunter has done.

flynn kept on standing up and turning around and screaming me. at a certain point i had it with him so i yelled back. >> i'm going to categorically describe it as you guys are not tough enough. or maybe i'll put it another way, you're a bunch of [ bleep ]. i'm not exactly sure where the sidney group went. i think maybe the roosevelt room. and i stayed in the cabinet room, which was kind of cool. i really liked that. all by myself. >> he was very interested in hearing particularly about the terms of 1384-a that apparently nobody else had bothered to inform him of. >> quite an ad for die dr. pepper. >> the committee said trump turned to another last-ditch effort, to come to d.c. to protest. this time was january 6th. be there and be wild. the panel called this donald trump's call to arms. in evidence that included drafts of his january 6th speech, it shows that he always planned on telling the crowd to march to the capitol. even though it wasn't in his final prepared text, the organizers of the stop the steal rally knew he would still say it. the p

we take a 2 hour drive from flynn spooled, across the border into denmark. this is the adela town of middlefield. last christensen sits in his garden on the outskirts of town. telephoning with contacts and flints book alongside his day job kristin's and also helps parents to escape the danish child protection authorities. like hannah, who are afraid officials might take their children away early, gabriela, he gives them tips and puts them in touch with people abroad. he recently helped a father kenneth settle and flynn spoke with his 8 year old son after kristin's in witnessed similar cases, he became committed to helping those affected by danish policies in for those of so pre bloomfield, report until approval. i saw her death or to this can take children away, just like that seemed if you to where i wanted to do something about that. and just as well latitude from kindergarten. sometimes i get up to 3 calls a day with a boy from distressed paypal under info, afraid of a forced adoption news renewal. they asked me for advice. i will demo. i advised them to

i saw general flynn. i saw sidney powell sitting there. i was not happy to see the people in the oval office. >> explain why. >> again, i don't think they were providing -- first of all, overstock, i didn't know who this guy was. the first thing i did i walked in and said, who are you? and he told me. i don't think any of these people were providing the president with good advice. so i didn't understand how they had gotten in. >> in the short period of time you had with the president, did he seem receptive to the presentation that you were making? >>s he was very interested in hearing particularly about the sympathizing and the terms of 13848 that nobody else had bothered to inform him of. >> democrats are working with hugo chavez and whomever else. at one point, general flynn took out a diagram that supposedly showed all over the world. who was communicating with whom via the machines and some comment about nest thermostats being hooked up to the internet. >> it's been reported the dominion voting machines and various election fraud claim

his own advisers, and instead, leaned on the counsel of election deniers like sidney powell, michael flynn, and rudy giuliani. >> i would categorically describe it as, you guys are not tough enough, or, maybe i put it another way. you're a bunch of excuse the expression., most certain the word was used. >> reporter: trump went forward with the efforts to overturn the result anyway. >> president trump is a 76-year- old man. he is not an impressionable child. just like everyone else in our country, he is responsible for his own actions, and his own choices. >> reporter: a drive that led to a raucous meeting at the white house in the middle of december, when trump wanted to name attorney sidney powell as a special counsel in order to seize voting machines. >> the president said, okay, i'm naming her that and i am giving her security clearance. >> reporter: former white house counsel, pat cipollone, testifying that he was displeased to see people like powell and flynn in the oval office and told trump, naming powell special counsel was a grave mistake. >> it's a terrible idea. that's not how w

i sought flynn. i saw sidney foul powell sitting there. i was not happy to see the people in the oval office. >> first of all, the overstock person, i had no idea who this guy was. the first thing i did, i walked in, i looked at him and said," who are you?" he told me. i don't think any of these people were providing the president with good advice. i didn't understand how they had gotten in. >> in the short period of time that you had with the president, that he seemed receptive to the presentation you are making? >> he was very interested in hearing particularly about the terms of 138 for a that apparently nobody else bothered to inform them of. super learning and hirschman and whoever the other guy was showed nothing but contempt and disdain of the president. >> the three of them were really sort of forcefully attacking -- verbally -- and we were pushing back. we were asking simple questions as a general matter. where is the evidence? >> if it had been me sitting in his chair, i would have fired all of them at night and have them escorte

flynn stood up and was screaming at me. i yelled back. you better sit your effing -- down. >> reporter: they wanted them to seize voting machines. >> can the federal government sees voting machines? that's a terrible idea. that's not how we do things in the united states. we don't have the authority to do that. >> reporter: trump wanted to appoint sidney powell the clearance. he along with other cabinet members encourage him to concede the election. >> conveyed to him that i thought it was time for him to acknowledge that president biden had won. >> if your question is that i thought he should concede the election, yes, i did. >> >> reporter: trump sent out this tweet saying, be there, it will be well. that set off an intense social media campaign for the rally. his call to march for the capitol was planned in advance. it reads in part, massive crowds expected. march to the capitol after. instead, one rally organizer texted that potus will call for it unexpectedly. trump ad-libbed part of his speech calling for rally goers to march to the

mike flynn was fighting. they were looking for avenues that would enable -- that would result in president trump remaining president trump for a second term. >> remaining president trump. when you're doing that after you've lost, that is using government power for a coup. and they wanted to name powell special counsel, a sort of muller-esque idea that she would then have this power and exercise it. remember, when this did falter after that hours' long "hundred inged" meeting is when donald trump tweet about navarro'sed whys about election fraud, and rt if first time, summoning everyone to come to washington on january 6th. michelle. >> look, i think that i would actually be careful about the word military coup. i think he was clearly attempting a military coup. military coup you might think of the military rounding people up, shutting down the government. he wanted to use the military in furtherance of his own coup attempt, if that's not too much of a distinction. one of the things that -- this goes to trump'

here it is. >> i opened the door and i walked in and i saw general flynn, i saw sidney powell sitting there. i was not happy to see the people in the oval office. yeah, i don't think they were providing -- well, first of all. the overstock person, i never knew who this guy was. actually, the first thing i did. i walked in, i looked at him, and i said, who are? you and he told me, i don't think any of these people are providing the president with good advice. and i didn't understand how they had gotten in. >> i think we got to the point where the screaming was completely, completely out there. i mean, you walk in, late at night, it had been a long day, and what they had been proposing i thought was nuts. >> i am going to categorically described it as you guys are not tough enough. or maybe i put it another way, you are a bunch of pushes. excuse the expression. but i'm almost certain the word was used. >> he kept on getting up and turning around and screaming at me. and a certain point, i had had it with him. i yield back, either come over or sit your ethan but back down. >> that's some

i saw general flynn. i saw sydney powell sitting there. i was not happy to see the people in the oval office. again, i don't think they are providing over fall, overstock person for who it was. the first thing, i walked in and looked at him. i said, who are you? he told me. i don't think any of these people were providing the president with good advice. and so, i didn't know how they gotten in. >> i think it got to the point where the screaming was completely, completely out there. you have people walking and, late at night, it's been a long day. what they were proposing, i thought, was nuts. >> i'm going to categorically describe it as, you guys are not tough enough. maybe, put it another way. you are a bunch of was. that's the word that was used. . he turned around and screamed at me. i yield back, come over or sit your butt back down. >> hearing from rudy giuliani. just a couple hours after that screaming at each, the then president sent out his infamous tweet, big protest on january 6th. be there. it will be wild. it's like he had a me

and just to be crystal clear, flynn, stone, trump, all these guys deny that they knew about any plan for violence that day. but if those denials hold up, that is what we'll find out today to see if the committee has anything that can possibly undercut those denials and connect trump to the violence. >> and we'll be watching to see just how straight i guess that line is as they attempt to draw it. marshall, appreciate it. also with us is matthew brown, national koernltcorrespondent f "washington post." if we look at steven ayers who has cited that tweet from the president inspiring him, does it need to be more than just steven ayers who has now pleaded guilty talking about that connection? >> yeah, so this is a very integral part of what the jan 6 committee will be doing here. and it is really trying to bring the link between the words of donald trump and the actions of the rioters on january 6. so far we don't seem to have indication that there were direct communications so far between agents like roger stone, michael flynn, close associates of trump and in the plot to overturn the e

we know for sure that michael flynn and roger stone both had connections. to the old keepers and probably for we know that mark meadows was in touch with them on january 5th. we had testimony that that happened because donald trump ordered it to happen. you can see the links. we don't know, what exactly was said? what was communicated? the one guy that can answer that who has a realistic chance of testifying, mark meadows. he started corroborating with the committee. he has stopped for some reason. we still don't know? he has gone away. he has refused to comply, no consequence. we do not know who the president called last week at some point who is a important witness. that person either missed the call or did not pick it up. a former president who is willing to make that call, could there have been more? >> it's a horrible idea for him to call anyone who may be a witness. we do not have enough evidence to call this witness tampering. it's an unanswered call. we have evidence at the prior hearing of two messages, one was related to cassidy hutchinson. that c

jamie raskin: forgive me, i have had an insane day- flynn: no, no worries at all. jamie raskin: i'm sorry. flynn: i appreciated that you even found the time to chat, i really do appreciate it. jamie raskin: it's my pleasure. you wanted to talk about tombo, right? about tommy? flynn: really just kind of everything that you've been going through this week. ♪ well, our family suffered a terrible catastrophe on the last day of 2020. ummm, but my dear boy is very, very close to our hearts and on our minds, and we've been deluged with emails and food and love and messages from around the world. and in truth, i haven't been sleeping a lot since since we've been without tommy. flynn: yeah. ♪ jamie raskin: tommy had been fighting depression for several years. i mean, normally he was just the happiest, most ebullient energetic person you could ever hope to meet. but he was suffering from depression, and it was serious. the last night i got to spend with him, we had dinner together. we played some boggle, which was his big game and we watched some stuff on tv and we talke
