instagram. if you know about sam son from liberia, go check my facebook page. you won't believe the difference, it's amazing. "hardball" with chris matthews starts right now. 100 days of donald trump. let's play hardball. >> by traditional standards he's got zip to show for it. you can wiggle out of it and say it's sick and delegate my homework. we' we're standard here that goes back to franklin w. roosevelt and early streak of accomplishment. >> the only thing we have to

fear is fear itself. >> 100 days of office mass legislation. they told a radio audience his first days "i've been devoted to the starting of the wheels of the new deal" president kennedy as at minimum a time to begin. >> all this will not be in the first 100 days, nor will it be finished in the first 1,000 days. nor in the light of this administration, nor even dragged in our lifetime on this planet, but let us begin. >> well, trump has tried up the standa, he's argued no administration h accomplished more in this time. he's called 100 days a ridiculous standard. he supporters stick like a

bathtub ring. among those, said the washington post 96% said they have no regrets about supporting him. among republicans the president's approval say stuck with four and five hanging with them according to new poll. over all 40% of voters said with a job he's doing. that compares to 64% president obama had this time in his presidency. trump, no surprise, rejects the numbers, even as the president dismisses the 100 day milestone, press secretary sean spicer with his many accomplishments. >> as we head up to this first 100 days. as you look at the totality of what we've accomplished on job creation, immigration, trade, it's unbelievable on what we've been able to do. the amount of issues and progress he's made.

he's very proud and the president has been proud of what we've been able to accomplish in the first 100 days. >> his war with the media, palace of what's happening inside the west wing and place in pop culture. on wednesday senator elizabeth warren will be here on thursday talk to governor john kasich and, we'll put it all into context and how this country got this far with donald trump. we'll begin with the scarey stand off right now in north korea. in a recent interview with the associated press, president trump talked about his relationship with other world leaders, including egypt, china and elsewhere. people have given me credit for having gre chemistry with all the leaders including, lcc. i think for that i've been given high marks because i've established great remarks.

i really liked him a lot. he's talking about the president of china. i think he liked me. -- thomas george and david -- i think correspondent ann. i thought there was an aspect of prek, which he likes me and i like him and it was sort of childish, i mean, for the president of the united states to talk about largest challenge of the world, china and how he's dealing and also with korea. >> what do you think of this guy. how is that. >> everything is personal, not everything is transactional. back there in the campaign when he was candidate, he was asked, said nice things about me, end of discussion. if you believe that the nations between nations or personal chemistry between the leaders. >> david, this need to start the pressure that he is done it more than obama. obama strategic patience with the most dangerous country in

the world. i won't argue, they're on the verge of getting a deliverable nuclear weapon. are we moving too fast or too slow. >> well, we'll see in coming weeks. i think trump is right to think that the time dress the north korean problem is now. the longer you wait, and that becomes a different confrontation. i think the smartest thing that trump has done in the first hundred days of foreign policy. the criticism of china, raping america, really red hot rhetoric, he realized that he was not going to be able to solve the north korea problem or even address it without having relationship. and he set about doing that. his talk about chemistry, from what i here, spent a lot of time together. china is surprising extent working with the u.s. to deal

with north korea. >> are they cutting off the coal, for real? >> they seem to be. they have said if they north korea has another nuclear test, they'll move to another punishment. trump helped make that happen. >> trump had what the white house called a working lunch with the security council ambassadors, let's watch. >> i think that the united nations has tremendous potential, tremendous potential, far greater than what i would y any other candidate in the last 30 years would have even thought to say. i don't think it's lived up to the potential. i mean, i see a day where there's a -- what the united nations you get together and solve the conflict. you don't see the united nations like solving conflicts. i think that's going to start happening now. >> well, afterwards, he said the message from the white house was the united nations needs to be

reformed. let's watch. >> i think they heard that loud and clear today from the president. i think that they are thrilled with the engagement that they had and i think it shows that the president is very engaged on foreign policy, they see that. the idea he sits down and want to talk to them about each of the country and security council collectively is massive for the president to be able to do this and it was helpful in the united states. >> this guy is all over the place. it has nothing to do with e ideology or point of view. here he is talking about eleanor roosevelt, how did he get that religion. >> he's becoming an internationalist, apparently. i think it's not a lot different than what david said. once in office, he figured out that he needs the cooperation of leaders, other countries and the diplomatic processes and all

kind of complicated annoying things that go with that, in order to get anything done. and i don't believe he's got some radically new view of how valuable the united nations is, but he knows that trashing the united nations is -- if he wants to get sanctions, new sanctions on north korea, which can happen as soon as friday, chinese help, he's going to say reasonably nice things. >> george and david, most of the time i worry about kim. i worry about the guy. the question of mental stability is not so important. emotional knowledge of what would happen if knowledge of life. i mean, if we scare him too much, if he looks like we're coming in to get him. if he misses the rhetoric for what we're coming in. he might launch the artillery, someone destroyed that country. >> bush and obama has looked at

this as a military problem and all three administrations have backed off saying it's not worth the candle. technology of nuclear weapons has been run for 70 years. any country that really wants nuclear weapons can get the ballistic missile technology in another manner, that's not beyond the capabilities. people say that north korean regime is irrational. maybe irrational in its fixation that's preserving the dynasty. in a way of maximum the presence in the world stage with no resources, economy, they've done the right thing. >> he doesn't want to end up in a spider hall like sada hussein.

they didn't have nuclear weapons. if he gets them, the argument they won't turn on him. i don't know how that works, explain. how does it secure him in leadership to have a nuclear weapon against the world. >> i think he's seen by his people, by the other leadership. he's beings strong as he moves towards it. i think north korea is just such an country. >> the leading chinese military story has now said he thinks south korea is a better friend with china than north korea. he thinks that north korea is a bad ally for china. he's writing this in the chinese press for chinese audience, that

tells you that the chinese leadership is worried. >> on the bench warrant tv ratings, president trump sees a huge victory. i have all the ratings for all the morning shows when i go, they go double, triple. dickerson had 5.2 million people watching him. it's the highest of face the nation or deface the nation since the world trade center, since the world trade center came down. meanwhile, according to the washington post today, the president disreacts when someone suggested sean spicer might be the first out from the white house. according to someone familiar, the president said i'm not firing sean spicer he gets great ratings, everyone tunes in. the president compared spicer's ratings flavor bblely daytime sp operas. i don't know -- life is worth living. i don't know all the titles. but the idea of saying your guy

is doing a good job educating the country as to what the administration is up to based upon people watching as they would watch a race waiting for the accident. >> i mean, it's government as entertainment and entertainment is judged by ratings, right? he is -- this isn't the first time we've seen him say out loud that he views his own performance and that of the government through the lens of news, specifically, cable news and we know from his twitter history, specifically, morning cable news. i mean, that is how -- >> what about of comparing your impact, your size with the 3,000 people killed in 9/11, the worst tragedy we've all watched together and felt. here he is saying i'm bigger than that. >> hyper bollic inappropriate language, i just would note, there is such an interesting

difference between what he says and what he does. in the reaction of the use of chemical weapons there was a measured response. it was done over two days. it was done fairly cleanly. he has chosen a support team and national security that i think people -- >> do you like mcmaster. >> mattis, saw it. i think tillerson is become a solid performer. pompeo. he chose good people, domestic policy area has been a car wreck. the foreign policy, a lot of these decisions have been cleaner, crisper. >> is he like a guy in a bar, let me out of here, he's restrained himself by the company he's chosen knowing his own nature. >> i thinkou have a forethought that really doesn't fit. i think -- >> he points out h selections

have not been irrational. >> the selections have been find and to the extent he's deferring to them, right, he's behaving very well. the presidential words are deeds, you can't take them back and can't pretend they didn't happen. he's conditioning the atmosphere in which these sober measured men that you just talked about have to operate in. it's going to complicate it sooner or later in a dangerous way. >> we're passed almost 100 days and we're all here. thank you. coming up, the comey effect and new look at director, james comey effected the 2016 election. he came forward about hillary clinton's e-mail in attempt to shield the agency from accusations from politics. all the while staying solid about the fbi investigation into trump's russian ties. it's what democrats say cost

clinton the election. i want to know what the strategy is to get a democrat back in the white house. and trump hits the wall, he's pressuring congress funding for the border wall with mexico as part of the big spending bill to keep the government going. democrats are against it, so are the republicans. could the republicans shutdown over trump's wall. this is "hardball" with the action news. ...it starts a chain reaction... ...that's heard throughout the connected business world. at&t network security helps protect business, from the largest financial markets to the smallest transactions, by sensing cyber-attacks in near real time and automatically deploying countermeasures. keeping the world of business connected and protected. that's the power of and.

le pen getting to the final round, she'll face off macon who beat her yesterday. christopher dicky is in paris for us tonight. how did you figure, did this surprise you macron came through from the center and pointed le

pen? >> well, yeah, it is surprising in the sense that a year ago, very few people had heard of emanuel macron. he created this movement, not a political party, but a movement that's suppose to take people from the left and the right. he steam rollered everybody else and came out number one in the first round of these elections. he's an interesting guy and a little bit of a governor moon bean kind of guy. you sometimes watch him and say, is he really in touch with the world. i guess enough to get where he is. i guess it's going to be tough campaign for the next few weeks before the final round of the elections. he's not a very good debater, as we've seen. le pen is, and i think she has a rhetoric that speaks to the french people and i'm not ruling her out as the next president of fran france. >> really. when we come back, new information on the role of the fbi director james comey and why he played the role he did in 2016 election. why did he keep quiet while

going very public right before election about clinton's e-mails. anthony and the whole rest of that stuff, back after this. he's told that joke a million times. and you always laugh like you're hearing it for the first time. at lincoln financial, we get there are some responsibilities of love you gotta do on your own. and some you shouldn't have to shoulder alone. like ensuring he's well-taken care of. even as you build your own plans for retirement. ask a financial advisor how lincoln can help protect your savings from the impact of long-term care expenses. hidden in every swing, every chip, and every putt, is data that can make the difference between winning and losing. the microsoft cloud helps the pga tour turn countless points of data into insights that transform their business and will enhance the game for players and fans.

the microsoft cloud turns information into insight.

after you heard today, the fbi, after discovering new e-mails is reopening their investigation into hillary clinton. >> you all remember that, 11 days for the election, donald trump got an unexpected boost when fbi director james comey notified congress and the country, the newly discovered e-mails warranted the reopening of the investigation into hillary clinton's server. ever since that bomb shell announcement, they've blamed

comey for tipping the election, since we know trump and his campaign were under investigation at that same time which he did not confirm publicly until last month. now the "new york times" is out with a play by play account of director comey's decision making. >> he rewrote the script, partly based on the fbi's expectation at she would win and fearing would be accused of helping her. michael schmidt of the "new york times" who wrote that piece. now with a foreign policy research. thank you. michael, democrats around me, when i talk to them, comey, they say 11 days before the election he changed everything. it was a game changer. she was winning in all the polls. suddenly for 11 days people are thinking what's the fbi got and all the sleez of anthony and all the bad stuff came flowing in and all of this i hear like, i hate hillary.

i hate hillary. >> what happened at the fbi is that comey thought if they didn't tell congress, that -- and hillary won, they would be accused of suppressing this information and not telling them about this. what happened is comey told congress the investigation was over. he testified under oath. he said it was done and he said, i have to go back to congress and i have to tell them that we are looking at this stuff again. the fbi thought they had found the holy grail in the e-mail investigation, which was e-mails from the first three months that she was in the state department. they had never found those e-mails they thought they found them at that time. and the thing is they thought if -- >> so it wasn't the weird e-mails. >> no. no what hpens i they start the investigation into him texting with the teenage girl. and they're going through his laptop looking for different things they say, oh, wow, what are these hillary clinton e-mails doing here. they can't start looking at

these e-mails at that point. this is early october. they can't look at them because they only have a search warrant to look at certain things. what begins is slow process. >> why couldn't they get another search warrant and get it over with? >> they did, that's why comey went to congress, he went to congress before -- >> i'm trying to be totally neutral in thinking about this. why didn't comey say, look, this is an election coming up, i shouldn't say anything about anything until it's over. i'm going to move the procedure up to get this stuff looked at. it turned out when they did go look at those e-mails, a few hours they were done. he could have taken a few hours we'll notify the congress after he was done. >> it wasn't a few hours. they thought this was going to be a month's long process. it was going to involve the inner agency and they were going to have all these new e-mails and have to go to the cia. what the critics will say that comey should have followed the doj guidelines and comey -- if

he got into trouble could fall back. >> what do you think based upon your experience, what would have been the right thing, did he do the right thing. >> i think he was caught in an interesting trap. if you remember from michael's great article, two months before he was worried about the russian medially. the secondary line of russian influence during this time is that the election was rigged, the boat was rigged. i'm sure that was weighing on his mind. the other thing is we were talking about a leak, that this could be leaked out of the fbi. i'm sure that comey was weighing insi the fbi, what if this comes out someway unnaturally, if this comes out after the election and he was pushing that the election was rigged, this would look like a conspiracy and under mine democracy and under mine president clinton had to turn out that way. so he was caught between two or three different traps. i don't know if he had to do it over today he would do the same thing, though.

>> how many hillary lovers are there in the fbi, do you think? >> i would say you might be surprised. there are splits in all of the ranks, both inside the intel community and inside the fbi. but i don't really see this as a conspiracy. i sort of see this as forest counter force. everything you see in michael's article, you know, whether it's loretta lynch at the doj or it's trump now pushing against director comey. he's trying to balance himself in a nonpartisan way. he's getting caught in these political traps one way or another. the one that's playing out right now. you hear these sort of taunting from the president about leaks, well, if there's a leak that comes out of the fbi regarding this russia investigation, that might be grounds to fire director comey, now that could be a replacement by republican donald trump of the fbi director, if there's some sort of grounds for his firing. he's been caught for the last year a a half. >> wait a minute, you're saying he got a leak, you're saying he

went public out of the obama administration before the election out of fear that a leak would be blamed against him in subsequent republican administration, he thought hillary was going to win, according to your article. >> well, they were playing as if she was going to win. >> he said -- >> they were afraid that 2017 would be house and he would accuse of suppressing this. >> the bad stuff for hillary and they don't think they could have gotten past that. >> well, let me ask you about this loretta lynch thing, your piece is so complete. it has in there that he thought whatever to the democrats. he thought she was a partisan player. >> in the fall of 2015, comey and limplg reynch will have to this publicly. call it a matter and don't call

it an investigation. >> this was before the 11th day out. >> this is in 2015. >> at the time, that lined up directly with the clinton talking points. so comey says to his deputies, why is she asking me to not call it what it is. >> is this before which announcement? >> this is in 2015. >> he wants to know, why -- >> what about the meeting, put it together, you've done great reporting here, why did bill clinton get on the plain with her, in loretta lynch put a botch on her credibility, fair or or not, oh, they're dealing with each other. >> lynch thought he was going to meet her at the bottom of the stairs. she told her guards, her fbi agents that protect her, to let him, oh, yeah, send him over. and they thought that meant, okay, come on. and then he comes on and then her staff is sitting there in the van on the tarmac going, oh, gosh, this is awful, how do you pull the president of the united states out of a thing like this.

are they going to go, sorry, mr. president, you have to leave right now? >> they knew it was a problem right there. >> correct. of course. >> i'm glad somebody is saying this. congratulations. thank you for your acknowledge of the agency. a lot more time with you next time. up next, president obama return today the public stage today. my question tonight, what are democrats doing to win back the white house, a little early, let's get some early thoughts from successful democrats from illinois and this is hard ball where the action is. safety isn't a list of boxes to check. it's taking the best technologies out there and adapting them to work for you. the ultrasound that can see inside patients, can also detect early signs of corrosion at our refineries. high-tech military cameras that see through walls, can inspect our pipelines to prevent leaks. remote-controlled aircraft, can help us identify potential problems and stop them in their tracks. at bp, safety is never being satisfied.

and always working to be better. i use what's already inside me to reach my goals. so i liked when my doctor told me that i may reach my blood sugar and a1c goals by activating what's within me with once-weekly trulicity. trulicity is not insulin. it helps activate my body to do what it's supposed to do release its own insulin. trulicity responds when my blood sugar rises. i take it once a week, and it works 24/7. it comes in an easy-to-use pen. and i may even lose a little weight. trulicity is a once-weekly injectable prescription medicine to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. trulicity is not insulin. it should not be the first medicine to treat diabetes, or for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do not take trulicity if you or a family member has had medullary thyroid cancer,

if you've had multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to trulicity. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms such as itching, rash, or trouble breathing; a lump or swelling in your neck; or severe pain in your stomach area. serious side effects may include pancreatitis, which can be fatal. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases your risk for low blood sugar. common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and indigestion. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which mamake esting kidney problems worse. with trulicity, i click to activate what's within me. if you want help improving your a1c and blood sugar numbers with a non-insulin option, click to activate your within. ask your doctor about once-weekly trulicity.

welcome back to "hardball." former president obama hosted a discussion on civic engagement calling on young voters to mobilize. >> the single most important thing i can do is to help in any way i can prepare the next generational leadership to take up the baton. and take their own crack a changing the world. >> democrats are sensing an opportunity, of course, in the past two special elections in kansas and georgia since the election. they've performed 10 to 20 points better than they did. same time republicans are sounding some alarm bells allow the congressional elections according to politico, senior

republicans are expressing concern, his record low approval ratings and over all dysfunction that's gripped the administration. they're trying to capitalize on the wave of hosting massive training operations, campaign managers and field directors. democrats have picked up seats and places have never won before. democratic u.s. sherry represents northwestern 17th congressional district, there it is on the border in 2016, which she won by 20 points and donald trump won by a point. they voted heavily for president obama and you and voted narrowly by a squeaker for trump. you're interested because people want to know, you know, i'm trying to buy a lot of progressives, not just in this

industry, but socially. they seem to think in this, resist all. that's going to do it. i'm also looking at the latest numbers that the trump voters have fallen. they're 96% where they are. the republicans are heavily for trump, four out of five. that resistance is not going to change history. what will change the history back in the democrats. >> you have to talk about what you're going to do. i talked about jobs and the economy nonstop. i've done that from the day i announced in 2011 and i did that for all three of my elections, as well, that's what people want to know you're going to be fighting for. >> what's the plan.

>> goes into the small towns and says you've got a product you can sell overseas you're not like a john deere. no, they have them sitting around the table and they can find countries to export to. the smaller companies can't. we're saying let's put these export centers in the smaller areas, work with businesses and find a place where they can sell their products. >> every one of our embassies his and her job where you say create opportunities for american business oversees. >> we need to focus on the small towns where we as democrats have not beensuccessful. >> what about the cultural

piece, the economic piece i can see, the democrats have been trusted, always, they created social security, they're going to keep it. they created obama care, they're going to refine it and make it better. they're going to fight for it. people know that. the sense that people are being talked down to, you know what it is, the sense of the democrat party being the ivy league party, it's snifty towards regular people and they get it and they don't like it. they vote for trump, he's played on that all the time. >> this is something that i'm sharing with people who are members of congress currently and those who are looking for run for congress, i'm sharing these ideas with them. when i'm not at washington, i'm at home. one, is we do supermarket saturdays. i walk up and down the aisles of grocery stores, i represent 7,000 square miles, while grandma are buying their corn flakes, i'm introducing myself and i say, what do you want me to know when i head back to

know. >> in case we can do that, too, we listen and go back out to washington and we do introduce legislation. >> when i ran for congress in my 20s, i developed one technique for supermarket. so i always worked against traffic in it. i know a people start to the right and go around. i would start and go around the other way. >> you work against traffic and you don't want to come up behind somebody, thank you. you sound like you've got a message. up next, democrat. republican president trump is pressuring his own party to pay for the wall. will the government shutdown over this thing, let h that's ahead and you're watching hard

ball where the action news. when you booked this trip, you didn't know we had over 26,000 local activities listed on our app. or that you could book them right from your phone. a few weeks ago, you still didn't know if you were gonna go. now the only thing you don't know, is why it took you so long to come here. expedia. everything in one place, so you can travel the world better.

>> i'll be done by friday. we've asked the president no to interfere. if he doesn't interfere we can get this done, if he demands things poise and pills, for not only democrats but republicans oppose, every single republican on the border, we can get this done. asked hi to let us do the work and not throw in some last minute poison pills that can undo it. >> that was democratic leader chuck schumer wanting the president not to interfere with negotiations on keeping the government open this week. the lights will be turned off unless congress passes the spending bill. as republicans and democrats hammer a deal, he's trying to force their hand by taking a

harder line on the border wall with mexico. >> we will build a great wall along the southern border. >> and mexico will pay for the wall. >> we're going to build the wall. we have no choice. we have no choice. >> we're going to build the wall. it's going to be built. it's not even, believe it or not, it's not even a difficult thing to do. >> the wall just got 10 feet taller, believe me. it just got 10 feet taller. >> build that wall. build that wall. build that wall. build that wall. build that wall. >> i'm going to say, mexico, guess what, this is not going to continue, you're going to pay for the wall. and i've said they're going to pay the for the wall and they will pay for the wall. >> who is going to pay for the

wall? >> mexico. >> he promised his base of supporters to pay for the wall. he's asked the congress to pay for the wall. yesterday he still insisted in a tweet that in the future mexico will pay. he tweeted, eventually, at a later date, so we can get started early, mexico will be paying in some form for the badly needed border wall. but democrats need to sign off on the spending bills and yesterday nancy pelosi says her party opposes the wall. >> democrats do not support the wall and i think that the republicans on the border state, do not support the wall. the republicans have the votes in the house and the senate and the white house to keep government open. the burden to keep it open, is on the republicans. the wall is, in my view, immoral, expensive, unwise and what the president said, i promised the wall during my campaign, i kind of think he said he was going to pass billions of dollars of cost of the wall on to the taxpayer. >> with democrats at odds with

the president of most famous campaign trail, blink first, the potential government shutdown. simmons is democratic strategist, republican strategist and with truth, casey hi -- >> the original plan was to put it in a supplemental spending bill that was slated for the fall. nobody in congress was expecting it to have this fight now. and if you listen between the lines of what was said today, it sounds like what they're saying is they're using words like border security. sean spicer said, if we get border security on some of the wall, that will be okay. and democrats have never really opposed that. i think there's just some question as to whether the president fully understands the acts that he was making by trying to put it. >> why would a democrat vote for spending continuation issue on the house side.

why would they -- why wouldn't they say the pep rans you've got a huge lead on us here. we're not lifting a finger. i don't understand, even with a sophisticated surveillance cameras or rather concrete, why they go along with anything on the wall. >> there's no way the demrats e going to vote for this deal if it's got a wall on it? >> sophisticated surveillance technology. >> i can see something like that would happen. >> they've never been against them. it was in immigration reform plan, people will talk about smart security and i think they don't want is a headline that says, we voted for that big beautiful 10 foot extra higher wall that the president trump. >> and the president is playing the shell game here. he said mexico is going to pay for it. >> i'm going back to -- >> you never want to raise the debt ceiling your opponent in the next said you raised the debt, you've increased the debt. you vote for it, it sounds like you're increasing the debt. the republicans never voted for

it, why are they helping the republicans. i don't understand why they're not just resisting it. >> you have the democrats in the house who aren't going to go with anything donald trump does. he says here is our plan, they're going to say -- >> casey said they're going to vote for it. >> number two. >> you're putting cameras. >> tell me the deal that the democrats are going to go with trump. anything on trump's agenda, what are they going to go with. >> this is not necessarily suppose to be a bill about agenda. we got elected president. >> sure, but members of congress all before the easter recess, republicans, democrats, house and senate, they were all saying, it's all going to be fine, obviously republicans were taking the lead. they were going to do some major appropriations bill. at the end of the day they felt like the white house was mostly staying out.
