so, give us a sense of what exactly michael flynn is doing right now. >> what we found is that michaelon christian nationalist ideas that america is a christian nation, that christianity should be institutionalized in america. he's been traveling the country. we tracked more than 60 public appearances, speeches since january 6th. he's been endorsing candidates. he endorsed around 100 candidates for this year's elections from, you know, u.s. senate all the way down to school board candidates in some cases. and he's created a network of groups that are working together to advance his agenda. and a lot of that has to do we elections, how elections are run, and elections down to the local level. his motto is local action has national impact. >> you know, michelle, we've had quite a few guests on over the past several weeks talking about how, well, one of the biggest problems of to christian nationalism is -- actually has little to do with christianity. >> yeah. >> and we're seeing this across the west. we saw it in italy and have seen it in other countries, too, where the very people who a

they want to bring in people like michael flynn, trumps former national security advisor that was involved in this contentious 18th of december 2020 meeting where the participants were talking about seizing voting machines. they also want to focus on people like steve bannon, the top strategist for trump-based at the willett hotel and talking about using violence and other extrajudicial means to turn the election. they want to chart the progress of this. then they will come to january 6 and say, this was all through trump operatives. that clear and present danger continues to this day. host: what about the secret service? there has been a subplot of the january 6 hearings. what the secret service members that were part of the presidents detail thought, what they told him. we know that some of their phones had been seized. records. do you think some of that might be shared today? guest: it is not clear how much the secret service will be a major theme today. certainly, there will be some revelations and new details about the kind of communications being sent between agents on january 6. as

someone, when they interviewed mike flynn they did a 302 and write things down and prosecuting michael flynnink those interviews so should be an audiotape of that so we can get the fax of what took place because they know they would set up michael flynn in the early days of the trump administration. maybe we need to do with their funding certainly we need to make changes to the pfizer reauthorize which will come up in the next congress those are key things we need to look at. then also the impeachment question, the committee will look at that'll be a decision for the entire conference under then speaker mccarthy. maria: the republican national committee is also saying that google suppressed 22 million plus gop e-mails sent september i spoke with ronna mcdaniel the other day she says all of your e-mails that get out the vote e-mails are going to spam and it's because of an algorithm google created, what is the media's role here? >> it certainly does not surprise me i was one of four members of congress who twitter shadow band a few years ago congress and meadows and gates and nunes and myself

"frontline" did a documentary on michael flynn. it aired last week. and flynn says this.in to fight on. the terrain that i have chosen to fight on is the local battlefield, the local terrain. and i think that's the terrain that will win the day." who's the enemy? do you think that michael flynn is talking about. are we the enemy? who's the enemy? >> i mean, i think in many cases this gets down to something that's a phenomenon that's been going on for the past year. steve bannon called it on his "war room" podcast in february '21, you know, a sort of a need to rebuild the republican party from the ground up, sort of county by county. some people describe this as a precinct strategy. it's clear that there's been this enormous pressure on local county officials, whether it's county commissioners, whether it's election officials, to kind of cave in to the pressure, this unrelenting sort of allegations that somehow the 2020 election was rigged or there was fraud despite this being disproven on countless occasions by courts and proven to be false. and so this kind of unrelentin

>> well, she's somebody well known to them, has worked with the trump team, has represented michael flynnt they feel, and i think rightly so, that no matter what happens in the end that they need to find a way to engage with the committee because they're going to have to engage with the committee. this is private citizen donald trump. he's going to be subpoenaed. and that could come very soon. and there has to be somebody who's the point person. there's another lawyer who will also be the point person for them, but they can't just leave it dangling out there. so they have to show their willingness to engage with the committee. >> the committee voted to serve trump with a subpoena but they haven't served it, at least not yet. >> right. >> shan, trump's new lawyer also represents other witnesses who have appeared before the house select committee including michael flynn, who took the fifth when he was there. what does that tell you about how she might counsel trump? >> well, it tells me, wolf, that she's going to take a very aggressive defensive posture and frankly it seems more like he's h

and then following a list of people starting with roger stone, steve bannon, michael flynn, jeffrey clarkhn eastman, etcetera. so it sort of makes me wonder whether they're saying, oh, maybe some of these people were communicating with the president through signal. we don't know. maybe they do. >> when it comes to, evan, communications, for people who are not familiar with signal and why people would want to communicate on signal versus in a text or using something like what's app that people may be more familiar with, just remind us why people might choose signal. >> well, they were trying to avoid having any record of those communications being found on government, for instance, on government systems. the trump administration, let's just say, has a very storied history with this beginning at the start of the administration. there was a crackdown by people in the white house because they knew that white house aides were leaking to reporters using signal and they tried to go through people's phones to see if they were using signal to communicate with reporters. that was one of the first t

michael flynn has been somebody very close to president trump as was newt gingrich. he obviously has a lot of relationships with in georgia. these are two key witnesses, in fact, if they end up giving testimony and that obviously is moving along the pace put by president trump to literally overturn the will of the georgia voters. >> and one more quick question. a slide in question here, john. a likelihood -- i know that da willis said that they're not going to do anything until after the election. any clues or hints about how quickly after the midterm elections and 31 days, fani willis will move? i don't know exactly what they, but i would imagine it would be very quickly after the midterm elections. obviously, she's trying to give some window here for the politics to play out. without the investigation being at the top of the news. without either one effect in the other. and at the same time, most of the evidence here has existed for quite a long time. i'm not sure there's a lot of obstacles that are moving forward once the elections are done. >> john allen, glenn k

stone, michael flynn, and steve bannon. all three of them, acting as intermediaries, to a different extent, with the domestic violence extremist groups. of course, roger stone has made a career out of that, and the transmission belt with the highest precincts of power in, the republican party, and street fascists, and hooligans. that's how he defined his role. we saw that in 2000, during the gucci riot, as well. but, michael flynn, also, has been doing his outreach. i think i call these guys the flintstones. they are, really, the critical point of contact, between the trump campaign, to overthrow the 2020 election, and the domestic violence extremist groups. i think that donald trump was, pretty careful, to not get his hands dirty, if what he would say in public, such as proud boys, stand back, stand by. so, he made his intent clear at that level. it's kind of like when he said to putin, to russia, go out and find the emails. he would do a, to that extent, broadcasting his general intent. but, in terms of working with them,

lieutenants of art he done that, have already done that, including his former national security adviser, michael flynn meantime, democrats have been presenting more evidence today — some very striking videos involving the house speaker nancy pelosi and the leader of the senate, chuck schumer, pleading with the attorney general to get the president to come and call off his supporters on that capital insurrection day. so, that was very striking, but the midterm midterm elections are looming. the democrats have an incredibly slim majority in this house. if they lose control, then republicans can wind up this committee at the beginning of the new year, and they probably will do so. so, the committee will want to get its report house very quickly, they will want to try and enforce the subpoena, and they will have to decide whether or not criminal charges against the former president and others should be recommended to the department ofjustice. still a lot of work to do and still a lot of drama left in this story. that was gary o'donoghue reporting. to britain now, where the chancellor kwasi kwarteng says h

and was he involved with michael flynn with his business in turkey? thank you.uest: it is true he is a dual citizen of turkey. his parents were born in turkey, immigrated to the united states rated he says he maintains his dual citizenship so he could very easily go visit his mother in turkey who lives there who is older and ill. that is his argument. that is his statement. he has said during republican primary he would give up his dual citizenship if he is elected to the senate. this came up significantly during the primary, his republican opponents brought him up to say he couldn't be trusted. it has not really come up during the general election. federman has not pressed that case. i believe oz did vote in recent turkish election. that came up during primary. it hasn't come up very much during the general election. he hasn't talked about that. federman hasn't talked about that. there has not been an issue. host: from carlisle, pennsylvania, this is buzz joining us. you are on with our guest. caller: i have noticed how slanted c-span has become. it is kind of

election scheme that the committee wants to hear from, including rudy giuliani, steve bannon, michael flynn, john eastman, the key architects, many of them plead the fifth when they testified before the committee. the key question that we don't have an answer to is how does trump respond and whether he will comply in any way. the documents investigation is a separate investigation. what we saw on friday there was that trump's team put out these discrepancies related to some small subset of the documents that the special master took. the key thing here, though, what it really shows is just how drawn out this special master process may be if the doj is unsuccessful at trying to get it stopped through the courts. >> jeremy, thank you so much for breaking that down. we appreciate your reporting. >>> while trump's decision to run again for president is still up in the air, his boeing 757 is revved up and ready to go just in case. according to flight data studied and analyze d by cnn and aviatin experts, trump's jet spent hours running pattern flights over a small airport in l.a. pilots were like

preplanned violent attack, and we know there are connections between those groups and roger stone and michael flynnonspiracy charges back to trump. we have seen suggestions of it, but if they have the evidence now is the time to show that to the world. and the ginni thomas information could be interesting. if it's something where she has a bizarre belief that donald trump won the election, and i don't think that gets you far in preventing that to the american people, but if you can show what she was communicating and advancing the scheme, then i think that could be powerful testimony. >> i want to read from your report from politico, and let me read you this. one e-mail between two of trump's lawyers a week before the january 6th attack saying this, a shame you are not in d.c. and could contribute to violation of the emoluments clause. what do you make of this, barb? >> i think there's two ways to look at these. one is the superficial lawyer where trump lawyers were laughing at the role he played in, you know, violating emoluments clauses and other kinds of aspects of the constitution, but i think

communications with any member of congress, michael flynn, steve bannon, rudy giuliani, and so on and so forth. what options does donald trump have at this point? >> reporter: well, sara, the next move is donald trump's. he has three options. he can comply. the subpoena says turn them on over by november 4th and testify at a deposition on november 14th. he can choose to do that. second, donald trump and his team, they can try to negotiate with the committee. that happens all the time in the real world of subpoenas, will testify as to this topic but not that topic. and third, probably most likely, trump can defy the subpoena and say, no, i'm not coming in. you have to make me do it. the committee will then have a decision to make. do they go to court and get an order from a judge? probably not. that will take more time. do they send over for potential prosecution by doj as we have seen with steve bannon and others. so that's how this is going to play out now. we are entering a game of strategic legal chess. >> it will be interesting to see how it plays out. i want to dig a little deepe

who have appeared before the january 6th committee, including former national security adviser michael flynn. and she's expected to work side by side with another one of trump's attorneys. that subpoena has not yet been issued. we're told by sources that trump and his team are discussing how exactly to respond to it. no firm decisions have been made. the only sort of insight that we have had into trump's mindset on this has been a post to his social media page in which he posted an article that claimed that he loved the idea of testifying. of course, that was before he actually hired a lawyer. so yet to see if that's actually what they end up doing or if that lawyer has different ideas. >> thanks to kristen for that. >>> the pentagon says that iranians are on the ground in crimea helping russian forces with drone attacks on ukraine. the pentagon press secretary said iran is explicit in su supporting terror in ukraine. iran has denied sending weapons to russia to use in the ward. clarissa ward joins us live now. the ukrainians are saying the russians may intentionally blow up a dam not from f

with the national guard taking and hours, michael flynn's brother being a general part of the decision-making to the army lying about it and then yes, he was. again, i'm sorry to say it but the camouflage of middle-class, white americans there for a rally and protest was the camouflage that allowed them to overcome law enforcement and it will happen again see that when people are shot to death for stupid things i get shot to death for picking up my espresso cup. probablyly because i drink espresso. >> it's so insightful and when i look back on what i've seen was the tea party, tax raises are a villain, an enemy and money in speech andmo now the reason the ruling guns are technically speech, right? i heard you comment on this rising and i love what you said, it's alo child killer if you dot need a a gun, don't buy a gun bt what is the strategy? the only weakness i see amongst the community of white camouflage people as they are economically challenged driving up the price of bullets like i'll find a place, i don't really want to butt if all i can do is bankrupt you stocking up, i want to learn

they sit quiet about that as the fbi goes about prosecuting former national security adviser michael flynney sit quiet as comey again kind of arranges for us to have another special counsel, bob mueller, to spend 22 months looking at claims the fbi already knew they had no evidence for. paul: yeah. that's a real black mark against the fbi. what is durham -- i mean, he's trying to get a conviction of danchenko for lying to the fbi, but that's a relatively minor charge as these things go. so what is his larger purpose here, and what is he trying to get out to the public? >> yeah. i think the goal with this case and also michael sussmann who he unsuccessfully tried before, in both of those cases he brought the tried if and true lying to the federal government charges because those are the kind of cases that prosecutors have the best shot of winning. we'll see how he comes here. but if you look at his filings, paul, and the evidence and witness testimony we get, what is very clear is that he is also telling the story of fbi incompetence and political chi cannery. it has been very -- chicanery.

it's quite a lineup, michael flynn, roger stone, the mypillow guy.ll the stars of the magaverse are there, including this electrifying young man. >> my father finally got a subpoena from the january 6th committee. did anybody see this? this hoax committee, and i'm telling you, i told him a minute ago, i go, you have to go testify. you know what, it will be the greatest entertainment. who wants to pop a beer, make some popcorn, and watch donald trump talk about election fraud in the united states of america? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, i do too. i would like to see that. [ applause ] daddy's lawyers definitely don't want that, they want him to be quiet so he doesn't go to jail. and you don't have to work at a car wash for the rest of your life. [ laughter ] but hey eric, if you can get him on the stand, great. i'll make the popcorn and we can eat peanuts out of herschel walker's head. [ laughter ] it will be fantastic. high-pitch eric trump even treated the crowd to a phone call with his old man. >> so we're going to call him quickly. does that make

. >> this is general michael flynn walking with oath keepers on december 12th, 2020. general flynn's testimony before our committee. >> did you, general flynn, talk to president trump at any point on january 6th, 2021? >> the fifth. >> here is john eastman fraudulently instructing tens of thousands of angry protesters that the vice president could change the election outcome on january 6th. later on this same day, dr.'sman acknowledged in writing that donald trump knew what he was attempting was illegal. here is john eastman testifying before our committee. >> did president trump authorize you to discuss publicly on january 4th, 2021, conversation with him? fifth. >> so is it your position you won't discuss a conversation you had with the president of the united states but not with this committee? >> fifth. >> here is jeff clark, who conspired with donald trump to corrupt the department of justice. president trump wanted to appoint jeff clark as acting attorney general, and as you can see in this call log we obtained from the national archive, he did so. and here is m

at a campaign event in arizona, michael flynn talked about governors declaring war. >> states rights, did you know that a governor can declare war? a governor can declare war, okay? and we're going to probably see that. >> that comes after margorie taylor greene said this at a trump rally in michigan. >> i'm not going to mince words with you all. democrats won't republicans dead, and they've already started the killing. >> when joe biden gave a speech describing the "semi fascism" in the maga movement, trump allies claimed he was being unfair. >> he looked like he was in the depths of hell. he was talking about how half the country are basically domestic terrorists. >> but watch how conservatives embraced that description at the right-wing cpac summit a month earlier. >> ladies and gentlemen, we are all domestic terrorists. >> joining me now is rick wilson, and christina greer, professor with fordham university. my thanks to both of you for getting our show kicked off. rick, i'm going to start with you. violence didn't work out so well for them on january 6th. so why aren't they disav

he is making the phone call to roger stone and to michael flynn on january 5th at the direction of theall with georgia, i mean he is a wealth of information as we know from the testimony of cassidy hutchinson. so you could understand why the prosecutors are going to be like a dog with a bone and terms of litigating this, and mark meadows as is his right, is going to be contesting the authority, both the state and the federal level. but i think that somebody is really going to be looking to make a case on him and to just try and flip him. that really is the wave board on a case of the january 6th investigation. >> and paul butler, on the mark meadows subpoena, the district attorney fani wellness has time. in fact, she is in fact prevented from doing anything significant publicly. as long as we are still within this window of the election. >> yeah, so she doesn't have the deadline, the kind of lose deadline that the house panel has if the house does go to the republicans. and lawrence, remember, mark meadows also refused to testify before that house january 6th panel, and congress held h

about conversations he had with more than a dozen people including rudy giuliani, roger stone, michael flynn to name a few. a lawyer representing the former president called the subpoena unprecedented and said they'll respond after reviewing it thoroughly, likely setting up a monumental court battle. what happens if former president trump refuses to comply? well, today his longtime ally, steve bannon, found out the hard way what the consequences could be a judge sentenced him to four months in prison for defying the january 6th committee's subpoena, and bannon remained defiant after the sentencing >> the department of justice, merrick garland will end up being the first attorney general that's brought up on charges impeachment, and he will be removed from office. thank you so much. >> bannon will stay out of prison while he appeals his case let's bring in senior legal affairs reporter for "politico." he was inside the courtroom for bannon's sentencing today, an unrepentant bannon how did the judge explain the ruling to delay the sentence while the appeal plays out, and that could take a whil
