this is trump tower. this is where they wanted to end up, so this is where all the protesters have been converging and then someone said, let's go to michigan avenue, and that's when it changed again. i think the police department was thinking ahead because they were trying to protect all the businesses down there. so you see how they've raised the bridge to make sure the protesters can't cross over on to michigan avenue, but you see how large this crowd is as it goes back in this d. it's just a sea of people at this point, and it's sort of swelling towards the baseoth ha something in front of the trump tower. a lot of people have been stopping and giving signs to the trump tower, so to speak, but at the same time, there's been a lot of anger obviously swelling in this crowd. a lot of times when you have protests, you have a leader who's sort of chanting or leading people in a certain direction. this crowd is devoid of that and what we have noticed so far is people all have different chants. so you do hav

in new york to have their voices heard at one point they peacefully protested right in front of trump tower in front of a heavy police presence and then moved down the streets of broadway down to downtown new york city where one point they were greeted by applause by onlookers these were mostly young people all of whom said that they were out here for a reason i'm here for george floyd i'm here for all of those have lost their lives he's telling i'm here for black america i'm here for me i'm here for my family i'm here for all the america and i'm here for those who can't be here today well i think that america is sick and we have to root out racism and i think that white people need to stand up and do something instead of sitting on their couch and posting on their instagram stories this is a manifestation of anger as one man just told me says this is what happens when people get fed up many are exactly that here in new york they say something like this is just property that can be replaced but the life of george floyd can't be. live to chicago correspondent. going to him who's there chicag

two days later, january 6th, meeting you referenced at trump tower.et up the president of the united states. they briefed him on dossier that was false, briefed him on the clinton campaign. russian disinformation. two weeks later they set up michael flynn. that happens first few weeks of january 2017. that is how bad this was, how egregious this was. you know what else we want? we want the original 30. when they do the interview, they take notes. we want original one. not the one peter strzok changed. so we want to know, where is that original 302? we would like to see that. we would like to talk to again -- elizabeth: say that again. wait, saying that, because peter strzok and lisa page edited the original 302 interview form with michael flynn. >> right. elizabeth: do you think it will say we found nothing, flynn said nothing wrong and then do you think they altered it and amped it up and is that a crime? >> we don't know what it will say. we haven't seen it. this is something michael flynn's lawyer, general flynn's lawyer sidney powell is trying to

3000 people they began marching down another commercial corridor then groups wintered off and at trump tower there was another group they were kneeling down on the ground again that's a reference to the fact that a police officer who is charged with 2nd degree murder and 3rd degree manslaughter in minneapolis for kneeling on the neck of 46 year old george floyd. and him dying as a result of that but in any event there were reports earlier this afternoon of water bottles and firecrackers being thrown at police officers of spray painted profanity laced spray painted created comments on police vehicles. people rocking police vehicles and at that time there were reports that were 3 officers were injured so dear and we had spoken spoken earlier and i had told you that i thought once the sun set that it was very likely that things would ratchet up again and people would protest this moment is eerily reminiscent of other moment that the city of chicago had and it won't fade from its memory soon that was in 2014 when the police shot and killed a 17 year old look kwan make donald at the time nischell

january 6, that same group goes up to the trump tower and -- [inaudible]. mp and talk to him about the dossier. jim comey. talks to the president-elect, president trump about the dossier, that comey already knows is a false document, already knows it is paid for by the clinton campaign, already knows there is russian disinformation. 12 days later, he sneaks two agents into the white house, doesn't follow the rules. doesn't follow the white house counsel to sneak him in, set up trap michael flynn. liz is exactly right that this guy needs to be held accountable. elizabeth: arranging a media leak about the conversations with the president in order to get special counsel robert mueller appointed, right? >> exactly. so when he gets fired, great point, when he gets fired then in may of 2017. so fast forward five months, five months down the road, he gets fired. what does he do? immediately leaks his memos, some of them essentially containing classified information, leaks that to do what? get bob mueller to be the special counsel. this is what is interesting, the i

that same group goes up the trump tower. talking about the dossier. jim comey. talking about the dossier that comey already knows is a false document. paid for by the clinton campaign erssia disinformation. twelve day later he sends to agents into the white house. does not follow the rules. trapping and setting up michael flynn. liz is exactly right when she says this guy needs to be held accountable. >> also a media leak about the conversations with the president. special counsel robert molar. >> he gets firedrd in may of 20. fast forward five months down the road. what does he deal. he immediately weeks this memo. gaining classified information. weeks that to do what. this is what is interesting. the insurance policy started out as the investigation itself. that was an insurance policy to stop president trump. when he gets elected and they move into this, the insurance policy came to we have to protect the fact that we did this investigation. we have to get michael flynn. if hee stays on national securiy advisory, he was de

you didn't tell congress is that on august 3rd 2016 you were at a meeting during the campaign at trump tower with don jr trump son which stephen miller then a campaign advisor to trump with george nader a former blackwater colleague of yours who acts as a back channel to the saudis their moralities yours happens to be convicted paedophile and also joel's an israeli expert on social media manipulation how come you didn't mention that meeting to congress given it's so relevant to their investigation. i did as part of the part of the investigations i certainly disclosed in the any meetings the very knew i had on the congressional testimony you gave to the house we went through it you didn't mention anything about august 26th meeting in trump tower they specifically asked you what context you have and you didn't answer that. i don't believe i was asked that question you were asked whether any community for communications or contact with the campaign you said apart from writing papers putting up yard signs know what you said i've got the transcript of the conversation here. i might have been i th

they sent comey to trump tower the very next day to brief the nominee trump and president-elect trumpous aspects of the steele dossier. they did that specific iically to set -- specifically to set the news hook for cnn and buzzfeed to run with the whole steele dossier story that they all knew was a lie. it was all carefully orchestrated with the media, the cia, the fbi. john brennan was at that meeting, clapper was at that meeting. clapper then takes ill shus to -- ignatius to take the kill shot on january 10th. they were planning and orchestrating every bit of it. lou: sidney powell with the best, most succinct and perfect rundown of it all in just a matter of seconds. thanks so much. we appreciate it. sidney powell. congratulations. we'll be right back. managers don't understand why.y because our way works great for us! but not for your clients. that's why we're a fiduciary, obligated to put clients first. so, what do you provide? cookie cutter portfolios? nope. we tailor portfolios to our client's needs. but you do sell investments that earn you high commissions, right? we don't ha

access nsa, the nsa database going back to 2015 when then candidate trump took the escalator down trump towerld run for the candidacy. it is not news that president barack obama and donald trump, president donald trump have poisonous relations. president obama doesn't like him. so you think should president obama called in on this and held to account? >> i think, liz, as the facts unfold, it is going to reach that point where they can no longer say barack obama knew nothing. it wasn't his fault. he didn't know what was going on. he knew what was going on. i think as the facts unfold, it will be pointing right to him and his then attorney general eric holder, and somebody has got to answer for the horrors that was done under his administration. elizabeth: bill gavin, thank you so much for joining us. come back soon. >> my pleasure, thank you, liz. elizabeth: up next we are still digging into the documents, drilling into the footnotes. we're staying on the breaking news about the obama administration and it is abuses of power at the nsa's massive surveillance database on minutes. bringing in u.

flynn, but others -- i happened to be one of those people in the transition working on china in trump toweru, i'm thinking back seeing her testimony, i'm thinking back if we realized that there's a chinese bank in trump tower, and its wi-fi range was very strong on the 14th floor where we all were. so one possibility, pure speculation on my part, lou, the chinese were somehow spying on us, and then the u.s. government could pick up what the chinese knew and show it to susan rice, allowing her to give advice; don't hire general flynn. maybe there was some advice about keeping obama holdovers, which the president did. i think it was a mistake, myself. the president kept a large number of obama holdovers to work on china. so this testimony yesterday, to me, explains a lot. whether the mainstream media will cover this, i don't know. [laughter] lou: well, we do know, they won't. and because it's inconsistent with the narrative that they press throughout spygate. let's turn to china. the president for the first time talking about today the possibility of cutting off the entire relationship with c

that mueller is reportedly investigating the white house's shifting explanations for that infamous trump towerng. don jr. had with the russians during the 2016 campaign as you might recall, the trump team originally said don jr. and the russians discussed a program about the adoption of russian children a topic that is, of course, close to don jr.'s heart since his brother was adopted from, transylvania [ laughter ] i think? but then emails later surfaced in which it was revealed that the meeting was explicitly about getting dirt on hillary clinton from the russians. the times reported that trump and his communications director hope hicks knew about the emails, but that hicks said the emails, quote, "will never get out. amazing, so not only did the emails get out, the comment about how the emails would never get out, got out [ laughter and applause this administration is so incompetent, they cover their tracks with bigger tracks. [ cheers and applause and yet, as more evidence comes out about trump's attempts to obstruct justice, republicans in congress are becoming more aggressive in protecti

i think kanye west had popped by the whole world was coming to trump tower to see the president-elect comey the fbi director didn't come for two months but he came on january 6 as part of the intelligence briefing and he was tasked to then afterwards sort of pull aside president-elect trump and mentioned this ridiculous dossier let me remind everybody, the russian dossier, a fancy french word for a load of crap and that's exactly what it ended up being, and yet, yet, so you could see what's being mentioned about january 5 the next day they go to trump tower i was just discussing this with hope h icks recently because we're the only two people left who weren't involved in these events. we had gone with the president to a different briefing all the way downtown in manhattan, got back, with the intelligence briefing and comey pulls this nonsense and then they all start talking to the media. look at the time line. instead of helping us to have a peaceful transfer in our great, in the greatest democracy the world has ever known, they were doing this. and if they weren't, then i want to app

they're trying to get to trump tower. that's this direction.so there is a large gathering of officers here trying to block that. you can see the officers pinned along the wrigley building in this direction over here. they had to callgo to bring more officers in because people were throwing objects at the officers and somebody was going to try to throw a metal gate through the windows. the chicago police officers stopped it. they are taking a tongue lashing as they stand in front of this building. we're seeing people who have joined in on the protest and are starting to spray paint large sections of this. they are bringing in the mounted patrol as we spring. we told you they were bringing in reinforcements one of the reasons we wanted to notify the control room what was going on here. the elements here tried to push closer to the officers and pin them in. you can see people throwing water bottles at the officers as they come in. there are three or four different groups here. there are two or three groups here that are definitely coming in and sa

and then in the middle of 2015 there was a big press conference at trump tower and trump-kim down the escalator and then i suddenly thought all these forces i've been looking at about how informational architecture online is changing us, that's a political street as well. from there it was kind of off to the races. >> host: you kind of generally grouped your book into two groups of people if understand correctly and correct me if i'm wrong. you have a group called the big swinging brain and then you have the gatecrashers. explained the groups and other interact with each other to the topic you're trying to address in this book. >> guest: that's exactly right. the subtitle is "online extremists, techno-utopians, and the hijacking of the american conversation," and the idea is that there were these two groups come these kind of strange bedfellows that were either wittingly or unwittingly kind of collaborating to hijack the conversation that we are all a part of. those groups as you say the big swinging brains, my kind of derisive title for them, those would be the techno-utopians, the s

here they were at trump tower right after trump's election in december 2016, gates explaining he was pushing science and health policies at that very meeting. >> i saw him in trump tower, and i said, hey, science and innovation is a great thing. you should be a leader who drives innovation. and that conversation was about a broad set of things, in energy, in health, in education. >> people have all kinds of ideas. few get a private audience with the president. while bill gates is not out here telling everyone, i told you so, the evidence shows that in many ways, he did. listen to gates' prescient warnings from 2015. >> we need to get going because time is not on our side. in fact, if there's one positive thing that can come out of the ebola epidemic, it's that it can serve as an early warning, a wake-up call to get ready. if we start now, we can be ready for the next epidemic. >> it was time to get ready. many governments didn't listen or didn't want to spend the money. gates specifically outlining the type of potential virus that would be most infectious. notice how it eerily predic

the best taco bowls are made in trump tower grill. i love hispanics!" well, i guess that wasn't embarrassing enough the first time, because today, he posted it again. "remember this? happy cinco de mayo." of course, we remember. how could we forget? that was just before our country started cinco-ing into the abyss. trump was up very late last night watching tv and rage-tweeting at 12:46 a.m. his mood apparently continued into the afternoon, because today he wrote, "wow! congratulations to greg gutfeld, a one-time trump hater who has come all the way home." his ratings easily beat no talent stephen colbert, nice guy jimmy fallon, and wacko "last placer" jimmy kimmel. wacko "last placer" i hope he wasn't talking about me. i think maybe this was another typo situation. i think what he meant to tweet was, "i am completely devastated by the loss of life caused by this insidious virus. my thoughts are with the families of those who have passed. i pledge to spend every waking moment working to make sure our medical workers have the support they need and every

that obama himself used foreign intelligence to actually request surveillance on the 26th floor of trump tower. to what extent with john brennan behind that? ms. mcenany: yeah, john brennan, of all of, i will call them bad actors, because they were, of the obama administration, john brennan probably has the most to answer, because it was john brennan who sat before congress and said the steele dossier paid for by hillary clinton, paid for by the dnc, that that document played no part of the role in opening the russia pro. when we know it did. impetushe impudent -- to spy on the trump campaign. so john brennan of all people probably has more to answer, so does samantha power and susan rice, these individuals who admitted undergrowth that they in fact spoke to foreign leaders and representatives of foreign leaders during their transition, yet somehow during the trump transition that was uncalled for. has been done all throughout history is now uncalled for. all of these people have really legitimate questions to answer. i think we are slowly getting to the bottom of this. it is a real travesty a

of congress, members of a coequal branch of government, took an oath not to donald trump, not to trump towernot to the trump family. they took an oath to defend the constitution of the united states against all enemies, foreign and domestic. we see interference in our elections process and our sovereignty from hostile foreign powers that are aided and abetted by the american head of state himself. we see a willful, blind eye by the men and women in positions of power and responsibility who are afraid of a tweet. i'm happy they were not called to storm normandy's beaches. [laughter] [applause] and so, the preservation of the american republic and the american democratic experiment, and think about that word. "experiment," that is what we have always called this, because no democracy in all of recorded human history has endured. we are the oldest republic that has ever existed in the history of earth, and so we should not take for granted that it endures on our own without participation. i conclude by saying that lincoln warned that if the country were ever to be destroyed, it would come from
