and that actually is one of the main reasons of influx of subscribers currently to my stream >> emmittthe ceo of twitch, acquired by amazon in 2014 he joins us now. emmitt, good morning >> good morning. >> so when you guy dz this deal 3 1/2 or so years ago, four years ago, i recall google had been kind of sniffing around also and that seemed at the time like a more natural fit i mean it had youtube and streaming. but amazon, you guys and amazon seem to have especially turbo charged the relationship over the last few weeks with this deal linking amazon prime to twitch prime, giving away in game stuff, telling teenagers, you can use your parents' prime account to get good stuff on twitch what is behind that? why the marketing spend? what is the model? >> what's amazing about the twitch prime deal is that we get to sign up new prime members which obviously is good for twitch and good for amazon and give great benefits to the people who sign up and also to the streamers on the twitch platform who want to get access to new subscribers it's one of the very rare business deals where actually

it woke so many people up that thought emmitt till was a figment of the past and not a very relevantgnant. till is is michael brown, tamir rice, sandra bland, and eric garner. >> joining me now is cofounder of campaign zero. brittany, a good morning to you. i want to get into emmett till. how she insisted on an open casket. what kind of an effect did that have on the civil rights movement? >> well, when mamie till opened that casket up, she said she was doing so because she wanted the world to see what had been done to her son, to her boy. and that was a choice that as i said in the documentary really shocked america back into its consciousness and out of our dry place to really reckon with what we were doing in places we wanted to ignore. and the more that we do that, the more we can have the important conversations. we often say that protest is simply the act of telling the truth out loud and in public. that's what she did in that case. >> martin luther king jr., how did he use the media to fuel the outrage? and do you see the same tactics among groups like black lives matter? >> w

it woke so many people up that thought emmitt till was a figment of the past and not a very relevant the present. emmitt till is mike ld brown and tamir rice and sandra bland and eric garner. >> joining me now, two of the filmmakers behind the new documentary, "hope and fury: mlk the movement." thank you both for being here. rachel, as i was looking at some of that video, when i was in ferguson, in baltimore, on the ground reporting during these incidents, i could not help but think of the things, items, inspirations that came from martin luther king that were said over the years. how were you able to put an unfortunately busy bunch of decades when we look at violence together in just this one documentary, rachel? >> that's a good question. it wasn't easy. it was obviously a challenging effort, but, you know, it really wasn't, once we decided the spine of the documentary really was the story of the civil rights movement, we looked for symmetry. we looked for correlation. we looked for images that resonated with the president. that was sort of our guide in looking for some of the more

children for six years, they officially grew their family by five when they adopt adopted aubrey, emmitt, zane who is 5, and lucy who is 3. [ applause ] my brother daniel is here with us. that reminds us of our family growing up. my mama had eight kids in ten years. we looked just like that. i also want to give a round of a applause to the dcfs worker who helped make this possible as an adoption specialist. judy batist, could you please stand and get a round of applause? [ applause ] this session we're going to be building on all these accomplishments and so much more. i'm teaming up with and partnering with the republicans, democrats and independents alike. we're building on that incredible wave of momentum. so listening to ideas all across the state, the business community, small business owners seniors, students, parents and law enforcement. the legislative agenda i am proposing to you today is as bold and diverse as the people of our great state. small businesses make up 99.5% of all businesses in louisiana and employ over half of our work force. they aren't just the backbone of ourc

we know that the judge who replaced him, judge emmitt sullivan, has ordered the prosecutor, robert mueller, to produce any possible exculpatory evidence to the judge and to the flynn side which we don't know if it's going to be anything. we don't know. by the many an interesting development in that case. the other question is, and i don't know the answer to this. but if you said to michael flynn a few days before he decided to plead guilty, there are texts between peter strzok and his lover at the fbi with evidence of clear bias, and do you know this guy is a close friends of the judge's and they may have talked about this, do you want to plead guilty? he may have changed his minds. david: one thing you didn't mention is there are good reports out there that the fbi agents who were interviewing general flynn testified that they didn't think he was lying. so he pleaded guilty to something they didn't think he was guilty of. >> james comey went to capitol hill in march of 2017. this interview that caused all the trouble for flynn was on january 24 of 2017. so in march capitol hill wants to k

their talks to bring on emmitt flood shows they don't think it will wrap up anytime soon. reporting shows there are concerns that the counsel leading on dealing with this russian investigation might be too small regarding how thorough it has been and how thorough special counsel robert mueller has been. arthel: this does not imply the president is facing legal charges. >> no it does not. we saw hope hicks go in a couple weeks ago. we are seeing people close to president trump going in for talks with mueller. i think this shows they are trying to be very careful moving forward to protect the president from anything that could arise. arthel: the legal team is negotiating terms for mueller to interview the president. mueller would have to deliver a deadline as to when his russia investigation will end. what is the likelihood of mr. mueller agreeing to such terms. and if that doesn't work what can president trump's to bees negotiate for him? >> it will be difficult for the attorneys to try to get mueller to agree to a deadline. i think everyone who spoke about robert mueller w

times" and a legal analyst tell us who emmitt flood is and why it would be a big deal to join the president's legal team? >> he's a veteran washington lawyer. he represented president clinton during the impeachment process. he's also worked for president bush and cheney. a lot of experience beyond the impeachment situation. i would take a look at that as well. also the president has been under pressure to shake up his legal team, even the president says he's happy, some of his longtime supporters are not and he might be feeling the heat as well. >> i want to get your reaction to this news, if this is indeed happening, why would a client want to add more lawyers or change lawyers? ty cobb doesn't intend to leave, no plan to shake him out of the team. what does this say to you that he's looking at a different lawyer? >> it's because you anticipate an issue coming up down the line. from the time rod rosenstein appointed mueller to do this investigation as special counsel, all we heard from trump and his supporters and the white house is that this is fake news, this is a witch-hunt. so if you bel

the president reportedly met with emmitt flood last week two handled president clinton's impeachmentocess. >> joining us to discuss is legal analyst julian zeleny. thank you for sticking around with us, julian. >> yes. >> i want to talk about what do you think or what do we know prompted this decision to bring attorney flood in? do we have any idea whether the comments happened last week with the russia situation or the stormy daniels situation? >> i think it's a situation based on cumulative event. the mueller investigation has expanded. it's gotten closer to the president's inner circle. i'm not sure it's the stormy daniels story that did this, so much as the combination of those inquiries, combined with the fact we are getting closer to november. the administration is aware, if the house goes to the democrats, this is on the table, the possibility of further investigation and impeachment, depending on what mueller's report says. so i think this is a "getting ready" move to shore up his defenses. >> listen to another matter. this is the president's former chief strategist steve ban

on the court side, emmitt, on the side of the maryland case and the wisconsin case, are there any other redistricting cases that you think could make their way to the supreme court? >> well, between those two cases and the north carolina cases, the court is going to have before it the opportunity. and those three cases essentially exhaust the legal theories anybody has come up with yet, having clearly smarter people than we are, you may come up with some other theory if those cases fail. but particularly in the north carolina case that is the most thorough opinion written in the field. it cover said four constitutional ground, which exhaust the field as far as anybody knows of the opportunities. if that case is reversed then the supreme court will essentially be saying we can't do anything about this, and that it's fair game. which means that if you think the legislator had been bad here before, it will be open season. there will be no constitutional restraints and it will be more extreme than you had ever seen. on the other hand if the court affirms the north carolina case, it will say

three-judge panel struck down north carolina's congressional maps where litigation is ongoing, and emmitt successfully argued, a supreme court court case that ended some districts. can you give us the lay of the land of litigation? >> let me try to do so briefly. you have to understand that many states do not have initiative or refer da, but depend on state legislatures if reform is to come, and usually it requires a two-thirds or three-fourths vote of the legislature before they're willing to submit it to the people. and legislators with self-interest are not about to adopt any reform, just as prior to the one person one vote revolution, you had mal aportioned districts all over the country for over 200 years until the court stepped in. there are now three cases on the way to the supreme court, two have been argued by-- one has been argued, one will be argued and one is pending. there is the wisconsin case, which is a challenge to the aportionment of the wisconsin legislature on a state-wide basis. primarily under the equal protection clause. the 2-1 opinion ruled violation of the equal

he brought in emmitt flood, who was an impeachment lawyer for president clinton and worked for president bush and vice president dick cheney. flood was talked to way back last summer and declined to come on board as a lawyer for this effort. but there's a desire right now to sort of shop around and see what other legal talent might be out there. he's only one of several lawyers who have been reached out through intermediaries or what have you to see who might be willing to come on board. a lot of the top flight lawyers in washington are reluctant to come on board for any number of reasons. finding anybody to come on and join this legal team or replace any of the existing lawyers is a re realening challenge. >> i shaw a blurb that that he was talked about as a deputy a.g. can you confirm that? >> he's a well sought after lawyer in town. he's got a lot of good experience and they would be happy to put him in a number of positions. he could be a p white house counsel if don mcgahn steps down. whether he does step down, that's speculative. emmett flood one of the names out there that any pre

bringing on another lawyer supplemental to ty cobb and john dowd makes a lot of sense to me and emmitt flood is experienced. he worked for david kendall on the clinton impeachment and so if it ever got to that point, he has experience in that respect. i think it's fine for them to think about additional counsel on this case. it doesn't seem to be going away any time soon, and mueller's got a formidable team. >> it doesn't seem to be going away any time soon. we have more people going in to testify before a grand jury. there's still more indictments coming out. the "the wall street journal" is reporting that the president's lawyers are trying to reach this strange deal to get him to testify and that deal would be, he'll go and speak to investigators under the condition that the special counsel wraps up the president's role in this, finishes what he's going to do with the president within 60 days after the interview. why on earth would the special counsel ever agree to that? >> they wouldn't. their efforts are herk uleanion at this point. the president of the united states in terms of th

the president met with emmitt flood last week. you might remember him. flood handled bill clinton's impeachment process. >> our political panel is back with us. let me start with you. this doesn't mean that president believes that impeachment proceedings are coming. built he's now realizing when his team told me it would be over by thanksgiving, over by christmas or january or february that that's not happening. that he is now potentially adding someone on for the long haul. >> it's a quote immortal rizza, you best protect your neck. this is something that president trump could see on the horizon, especially with the midterm elections. if the democrats then retain control of both the house and senate, you then have to worry about impeachment proceedings. president trump is well within his right to see what is on the horizon and not like what he is seeing. >> what do you think prompted this? is it the words last week? is it stormy daniels? what do you think? >> ty cobb was brought in for something rather specific which was to deal with a lot of document p

. >> about your -- back to your reporting on emmitt flood who's this veteran attorney who dealt with bill clinton's impeachment. it was pretty innocuous. it really arouses his ire. it got him at cross purposes with -- >> i think his own lawyers did not know that he was doing this and i think he's worried about inflaming them or leak something so he puts out this attack the messenger thing which we've seen him do over and over. >> it suggests respect for potential consequences. they don't want to follow the clinton model -- >> right. >> don't follow the clinto plan but short of that the idea that he'd even be considering it, that he's even thinking about how to prepare for that is -- >> correct but it's reality. it also raises the possibility and kron but it raises the possibility that flood turned him down and he's spinning it forward as, this wasn't even real. we've seen him do all of this. none of this is particularly surprise. it's not productive in his amazing fixation with my unusual shah and coverage remains astonishing. >> flood could have come out and said, i was there but --

reporting that president trump is in discussions right now to hire bill clinton's impeachment lawyer, emmitt flood to help the white house deal with the federal probe. that's according to four people familiar with the matter. as "the times" wrote, there has been times in recent months that mr. trump may be looking to shakehis legal team and change his approach to mr. mueller's investigation. as the president weighs a legal shake-up, bloomberg reports the special counsel might delay an action to bring potential obstruction of justice charges. current and former officials say trump's investigation into whether president donald j. trump obstructed justice is said to be close to completion. but he, that's trump, may set it aside while he finishes other parts of the probe such as possible collusion and the hack of democrats. joining me is joaquin castro of the house intelligence committee. jennifer rodgers former assistant u.s. attorney, mieke eoyang and ken delay, an investigative report were msnbc. let me start with the congressman. congressman, this is devastating. the republicans on this disr

"the new york times" is reporting the president has been meeting with emmitt flood. flood is a veteran washington lawyer who actually defended president bill clinton during those impeachment proceedings, "the new york times" is reporting that the white house is considering adding him to the president's legal team and if he were to come on, he would be in charge of dealing with those day to day activities, dealing with the justice department as part of the larger white house's response to the special counsel's probe into the russia investigation. now, the president denied this saying it is not true, that he's not considering doing this and he's happy with the legal team he has now. but, john what this speaks to is the larger sense that the white house does not feel that this investigation is coming to an end anytime soon, even though they said publicly they think it is. >> and even though the president's lawyers were saying it would be done by christmas. >> reporter: now it is march. >> kaitlan collins at the white house, thanks very much. >>> we're going to come back

. >> do we have anything more on donald trump's interview with emmitt flood, the impeachment lawyer? has that gone anywhere? >> no. we know the president met with him last week to discuss the possibility of coming to work in the white house to take over either dealing with the russia investigation or perhaps becoming the white house counsel. nothing has been done in that area. ty cobb has been running the investigation, dealing with the investigation at the white house. a lot of that is sort of over on the white house's endth. the question is is does president need a different lawyer to deal with the next phase. >> michael schmidt, great reporting, thank you for calling in. also with us, peter alexander who's at the white house, ashley parker, white house reporter for "the washington post," and msnbc political analyst, clint watts, former fbi agent and national security analyst. here with me is msnbc legal analyst danny cevallos, and chris whipple, author of "the gate keepers." we have everybody here who could possibly talk about this. everyone, welcome. peter alexander, you're stand

or will it be more of an emmitt flood, sort of a well-schooled veteran respected washington lawyer who works at one of the top firms and could really bring some stability and some traditional lawyerly approach to what the president is doing. i think a lot of the president's future legal approach will depend on the type of lawyer that at the brings in. >> to say nothing of the fact that the president only 11 days ago tweeted about a "new york times" story that it was wrong when it was suggesting he was unhappy with anybody on his legal team. he said, "i am very happy with my lawyers," including john dowd. well, if that was the case it certainly didn't last very long, which makes you question a lot of the things the president says publicly, either vocally or by twitter. thank you to our team. >>> joining me right now is democratic congressman eric swalwell. he serves on the house intelligence committee and judiciary committee as well. just want your reaction out of the gates to the president's abrupt shift again shaking up his legal team as it relates to the russia investigation, what yo

he's considering bringing in emmitt flood, this veteran washington lawyer. tell john dowd that he was going to be meeting with flood and they didn't know until it came out in the press. so there is some turmoil going on behind the scenes. on top of that, john dowd is negotiating directly with mueller's office about an interview. dowd does not want the president to sit down with mueller. at the same time, he's been trying to hammer out a deal. he has to go back to the bargaining table today to continue to do that with an office he said on saturday should not exist. >> mike barnacle. >> lets's talk about the dynamic of the president's legal representation, ty cobb, john dowd and the pending arrival of a third lawyer on the scene. how is that working out for a defense that becomes more critical seemingly with each hour of the day? >> well, i'm not sure how well it's working out. ty cobb's job here is probably done in the sense that he was in charge of document production to mueller. the white house has largely completed that. the interviews with white house off

the white house, however, reportedly reached out to high powered attorney emmitt t. flood.hat does that tell you if true? >> it tells me that the white house is going for a super star whom i know personally. he's probably one of five or ten smartest and best lawyers in the country. he's very, very skilled and adept at dealing with federal prosecutors in the district of columbia. the president has a very small team of lawyers compared to bob mueller's team. and the two lawyers that he has are experienced. but if he adds flood to this team, he will be adding a superstar. one, i might add, that is not gonna take direction from the president. he's gonna tell the president what should be done. i don't know how long that kind of relationship will last. >> sandra: the white house, for its part over the weekend, rah shaw, said the president plans to sit down with robert mueller. watch this. >> he's also said that that will be in consultation with his attorneys. they've been in touch with the special counsel. they're going to be communicating back and forth. >> you said 100% yes. >>

the president engaged in discussions with a long-time lawyer emmitt flood. he represented clinton during impeachment and represented vice president cheney years later and has deep experience in washington and would be interested in representing the president if things were to sort of intensify and become different here. you have to remember about ty cobb, he was in charge of the document production to mueller. he was going through all of the e-mails, the notes, those sort of things, getting them to the special counsel's office, the president's lawyers have insisted that they've not exerted privilege on any of those documents. this would be a new phase. the production is over and there's a new phase that the president would go into with the investigation and that's where flood would take the lead. >> michael, this is not a few phase, but the president of the united states denounced the report in the times and calmed out maggie haberman, new york times spectacular reporter, as are you, michael, called her out by name as this is wrong. this just is not wrong. t

if you wanted a lawyer who's going to fight it in court you would have chosen emmitt flood or somebody else. this is a sign of where we're going to go and it's going to get rougher. >> could it get ugly or uglier despite all that? >> despite the president's heightened attacks on the special counsel investigation, witch hunt and all that, yesterday, trump called the investigation a total witch hunt with massive conflicts of interest. when asked about the need for legislation, second ranking senate republican john cornyn told reporters quote, i don't think that's going to happen so i think it's not necessary and obviously legislation requires a presidential signature and i don't see the necessity of picking that fight right now. he also called rhett tick on mueller unhelpful and if trump fired him quote, the consequences would be so overwhelming and here is senator orrin hatch. >> i feel confident he won't be fired. mueller's an honest man. he's a decent guy, but you know, there's some differences of opinion between the administration and mr. mueller, but mueller's a very, very tough guy
