fragile democracy takes us to wisconsin, or a conservative majority supreme court just made it harder for its own citizens to vote, in a move that just happens to align quite nicely with the agenda of a certain twice impeached former president. and the velshi banned book club is in session, with a historical fiction title for younger adults, that has gotten parent so out of that it was the subject of a viral video, of an angry mom calling for its removal. velshi starts now. good morning, i am ali velshi. it is sunday, july 11th, 18 months and five days since a group of anti-american insurrectionists attacked the united states capitol in an attempt to overthrow the government and destroy american democracy in the name of a former president. mind you, that attempt is still ongoing in other ways. more on that later in the show. but luckily for america, the january 6th select committee continues its vital work in investigating that insurrection. and this morning, we are g
that hearing will take place after the committee has videotaped the testimony of pat cipollone. cipollone, think, is the trump white house s top lawyer. he s a man who, at least as far as we know, appears to have pushed back on some of the most dangerous and brazen ideas conceived of by the ex-president and his closest allies as they worked to overturn the results of the 2020 election. cipollone also held the same job as john dean whose legendary 1973 testimony was a turningpoint in the watergate investigation. here is what january 6 investigator john wood had to say right here on msnbc about the tremendous significance of the committee getting an interview with cipollone. it was really important that he would eventually end up testifying before the committee and on the record and videotaped so the american people can see it. i m glad that is coming together this friday so hopefully the committee will show some of the key clips of that interview during a hearing next week.
the committee will also link those groups of former president s inner circle trying to tie them to roger stone and michael flynn. select committee member congresswoman murphy will jointly lead the session said expect details linking trump to the violent mob. do you think people will be surprised by what they hear? i think the hearings always have surprises so i anticipate tomorrow s hearing is nothing short of that. we expect to hear pat cipollone s closed door interview including what he witnessed at a meeting on december 18, 2020, at the white house welcoming a group of extreme election deniers to block joe biden s certification as pl. exactly. joining us now is pamela brown. good morning. a lot of the analysis ahead of the hearing is it might be the most complex case to make. can you explain why and what we know about at least some of the witnesses? i don t think we know about all the witnesses, right? that s right. bottom line here is the reason why it s calle
