4:04 pm
the road of impeachment. short of that, an alternative is so -- why does he like vladimir let's mess with the president's head for a while. >> i don't know that it's that putin so much and why is he so simple. i don't know that she ruled out close to russia. on impeach: there are a lot more that's going to be the answer. >> if it turns out he was that are not saying that that benefiting from russia during are ready to do that and are the campaign and trying to get putin's okay for a big project trying to not put more pressure and a big tower in moscow and on the speaker. that's the situation that she is dealing with. playing footsie with information i don't think she ruled it out. coming to him on hillary clinton i think she is trying to be as and it looks like he was just in judicious as she can and say it for himself. trump is trying to portray this would naps call for impeachment? as a political witch hunt. >> i'm not going to speak for he said all these people are nancy pelosi, but we are seeing just against me. the beginning of the end. he's not going to be president she is trying to demonstrate the january 2021. it's a matter of when he goes, case where the facts lead. they are trying to do these chris. innocent people disclose and divest. especially innocent presidents. vofgz he hasn't done that and i think investigations the right way. she is trying to lay that out welcome back to "hardball." the only logical conclusion is slowly and every time it president trump is raging at that he doesn't want us to see escalates this back and forth. his finances. >> speaker pelosi referred to democrats as he comes to grips >> i can't wait for the fight the president's behavior as a with the increasing likelihood between you and mike pence. temper at that point rum in a
4:05 pm
>> my pleasure. letter to colleagues last night that his finances will soon be and this morning she fired back, >> white house correspond ept for pbs news. writing she was purposely polite exposed. he said now a new cover that you heard what i was talking and calm and this morning was robert mueller has look eed at about. what does this all mean? if you get all the paper, what's extremely calm. this is the president very calm them. >> they want all the same papers the bottom line? >> it depends on what the papers they have just gone over. show. i would imagine mueller went i always had sources that told me when the mueller report was because i don't want them going over my financials. out to the press and saying that high spent $40 million. before it came out. these investigations start i was anything but calm. i imagine they went over my having tent cals to go into his i was extremely calm like i am taxes and financials. now we have to get over them finances. there was nothing on his right now. it was sad when i watched nancy again. >> this follows the tweets finances. you have the court rulings that accusing democrats of getting were real losses and could be with the movement and the hands and the craziness. noth worrying him because it's one of that's, by the way, a person that's got problems. the most opaque parts of his >> michelle, you are a deep citizen. we don't know if he is making money from the presidency, but he is making money from the person. trump hotel and other things. i never covered anything like that's the question we don't know. what are his finances doing for this. it's like a kindergarten class. the presidency? >> do you wonder what he is one person calls the other in doing day to day to keep the need of an intervention. maybe she is trying to gaslight empire afloat. who is keeping this house of him and confusion him about his cards with the billions up in the air based on credit from god emotional stability that used to be reserved for people well knows who?
4:06 pm
>> i don't know if it's below him. millions. it might be thousands, but it's now the top leader of the congress is crazy and she said borrowed money and may be dirty she is praying for him. money. when congressman swalwell said explain. now the house of representatives is winning. >> it's wrong to treat this as that's an under statement. if it's just two people throwing it has been a blowout. school yard insults. what you have is an unhinged it has been a blowout in federal court in d.c. with the judge president given to these -- it delivering a resounding win to was a temper tantrum. the house of representatives and a crushing loss to trump and his there was increasingly embarrassing display of i'm not lawyers. when you have in new york judge mad. she's mad. it's pathetic and having him get ramos saying what i really find all of his lackeys to affirm how perhaps most remarkable and most not mad he was. heartening now is not just that people will get the records, his everyone should be so ashamed, capital one and deutsch bank particularly the people who worship donald trump because records and his accounting firm records, but they are going get they think he's an embodiness of it, i believe, at lightning speed. the reason is i think the courts have been dieing to get their manliness. >> she is a roman catholic and a hands on this. now they have their hands on it. the judge ruled in six days. religious woman in her private you know what the judge did? life. do you believe she is praying for the welfare of donald trump? i heard your arguments. >> my sense is she is praying give me 10 minutes. he walks in and comes back out.
4:07 pm
for the country that is at his house, you win, trump, you lose. mercy. >> that's not what she is saying. next. we are talking about cover up. >> she said she is praying for the cover up is about to donald trump because she wants crumble. >> people say that the judges are listening to each other and this is building up their confidence. >> it's easy when you interpret his family to give him the constitution laws, principa. intervention. >> i think she is far too gentle with donald trump. >> think of samuel l jackson, he does need intervention. she is the person who is mandated to perform this what's in your wallet? trump is fighting to keep his intervention. the fact that he is unstable and financial records even as he unwell. claimed to be the most transparent president in >> there is a bottom line as history. here he goes. >> it turns out i'm the most -- michelle mentioned. and i think most of you agree to president trump had several aids at the white house to testify to this. i'm the most transparent his demeanor at the meeting. president probably in the history of this country. >> what are does he mean when he here goes. >> kellyanne, what was my said that? he fought since day one to show temperament? his tax returns. >> very calm. the only president that doesn't no temper tantrum. show them. >> you have to go and talk to the fuming temper tantrum and the aides who wrote that line. rage and lost it, that's a lie. in reality he was one of the first president fist not the first to not release his tax
4:08 pm
but you were very calm. returns. >> do we have it on tape. that's a big deal obviously for someone like him with an empire mercedes. you are a straight talker. at least we think of money all around him. i agree with the idea that they are losing badly in court. did i ever scream. >> you were very calm and i think that they are losing because the president has been direct. >> larry, you were there. making this argument and know white house sources have been what was my attitude? making the argument. >> the kind of answer -- you what's the bill that congress mean my financial records for. were very calm and laid out the case. tell me what the purpose is for. >> out of curiosity, you were the judges are saying this is there. what was my tone yesterday at the meeting? oversight. >> very calm. what the president is calling i have seen both and this was harassments, the courts and congress said this is their definitely not angry or ranting. duty. they can do this. what we are seeing as a very calm and straight forward. president who is likely very worried about these court and clear. >> what did you make that was scene from "downton abby" with rulings. >> do you think it will get to all the staff lined up. the supremes? >> i would love for them to that's what it looked like. your thoughts. refuse it because it doesn't >> i don't know who should be raise a constitutional issue. more embarrassed. the president or the staff. embarrassment is the right word. let them stand. >> i didn't think it was going the nation saw the president as this way. unstable in the last 24-hours i lost faith in congress's tools and he is trying to clean up the of power, but they are working
4:09 pm
and it's an interesting turn of image. nancy pelosi to use a boxing events. two court rulings and the new metaphor got a cut and it's york state democratic showing. legislature and i'm sure andrew i find it curious that naps is suggesting that the president cuomo is going to sign this. wants impeachment. >> the state of the judiciary is the last 24 hours shows he does not want impeachment. strong. >> thank you, glen kirschner. he is terrified of it because of erratic reporting that the what that means for his brand. pentagon is working on a plan to he tries to suggest he's the send thousands more troops to best ever and the most the mideast to counter what the transparent and honest like white house said is an increased george washington when he is threat. is this wag the dog? afraid of what is found out as barbara lee has a lot to say being as crooked as richard about that. she is an outspoken critic of nixon. >> do you think both sides -- the iraq war and the trump what is being cocontradictory to administration is setting the stage for another war in the mideast. she will be here next. stick with us. e ll be here next. me, nancy pelosi does not want stick with us. you try hard, to go impeachment. you eat right... mostly. you make time... when you can. not now. perhaps it will change after but sometimes life gets in the way, testimony by mueller. not now. and that stubborn fat just won't go away. trump doesn't want it either, but she said he wants it. coolsculpting takes you further. a non-surgical treatment that targets, freezes, is that fair or true? and eliminates treated fat cells, for good. >> to impeach the president, discuss coolsculpting with your doctor. don't give him what he wants. some common side-effects include temporary numbness,
4:10 pm
discomfort, and swelling. he believes he willture vive it don't imagine results, see them. because the senate will not coolsculpting, remove him from office. let's be careful and that's what take yourself further. he wants. don't play into his hands. when i needed to create a better visitor experience. it's strategic and on the president's part, there is some improve our workflow. of that. if we are going have this fight, attract new customers. let's get it over with. that's when fastsigns recommended fleet graphics. he does feel confident and he yeah, and now business is rolling in. get started at fastsigns.com. won't be removed from office. nobody wants to be impeached. deep down, he thinks this is unfair and he believes that this shouldn't be happening at all. >> that's well said. the president defended his own mental fitness when asked if he would sign a budget while investigations are ongoing. >> as it relates to nancy pelosi, she said you want to be impeached. do you want to be impeached. >> i don't think anybody wants to be impeached. >> speaker pelosi wrote when the i felt i couldn't be at my best wifor my family. c, extremely stable genius starts in only 8 weeks with mavyret, acting more presidential, i will i was cured and left those doubts behind. be happy to work on
4:11 pm
infrastructure, trade, and other issues. let's go back to this. i faced reminders of my hep c every day. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, what do you think? we have been impressed by nancy i was cured. even hanging with friends pelosi's ability to lead the i worried about my hep c. house. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, is part of the disciplining effort to convince them she is i was cured. mavyret is the only 8-week cure fighting as hard as she can to for all common types of hep c. gaslight and make them look before starting mavyret nuts? so they don't have to go to the your doctor will test if you've had hepatitis b which may flare up and cause serious liver problems em peachment route? you want to go that route? during and after treatment. >> should you stop saying tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b, gaslighting. a liver or kidney transplant, she is describing him other liver problems, accurately. i have a lot of admiration for hiv-1, or other medical conditions, the way nancy pelosi led the and all medicines you take caucus and the way she has been including herbal supplements. don't take mavyret with atazanavir able to get under trump's skin. or rifampin, or if you've had certain liver problems. this posture of constantly saying that the president as she common side effects include headache and tiredness. said at the center for american with hep c behind me, i feel free... progress on wednesday, the president has obstructed justice ...fearless... in plain sight. ...and there's no looking back, that in itself is impeachable because i am cured. and she talked about how his talk to your doctor about mavyret. refusal to cooperate with subpoenas is the same thing as but prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient in article three of the articles originally discovered... in jellyfish.
4:12 pm
of impeachment against richard in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. nixon. she said he is a danger and we prevagen. healthier brain. better life. are not ready to impeach. that's incoherent. i don't understand how she expects that to make sense to most of the american people. there's thousands of ingredients out there. the freshest stuff this planet can grow. not buzzword fresh. it seems slickly political, but but, actually fresh-fresh. fresh. it's politically bad for us so at panera, we hand-pick berries at peak-season. we will not do our use creamy avocado. constitutional duty and pull the cage-free eggs. and a dressing fit for a goddess. trigger. i don't think it's a sustainable oh and every ingredient is 100% clean. posture. >> so smart. do you think nancy pelosi will come taste what a salad should be. change? and for your next event big or small, try panera catering. here's the prediction time. do you think she will change her mind. panera. food as it should be. i will say i don't think so. i think she decided deeply that to the white house. >> there kicking and
4:13 pm
would you consider sending troops to the mideast? >> we will see what happens. i don't think we will need it, but if we have it, we will be there in whatever number we need. >> welcome back to "hardball." that was president trump today leaving the door open to sending more troops to the mideast. to face off against iran again. he was saying they can send as many as 10,000 more troops. earlier today, patrick shanahan pushed back on the numbers. >> there is no 10,000 and no 5,000. that's not accurate.
4:14 pm
that's not the number. what we are focused on right now is do we have the right force protection in the mideast. >> more troops could be sent to the region. i'm joined by barbara lee of california. all these news stories, they keep coming out. 120,000 troops. if i'm over there in tehran, i'm a reasonable person and the prime minister is saying what are they doing? what are we doing over here? >> this is very provocative, first of all. secondly, our country pulled out of the nuclear deal and after that and after the inspector said that iran was compliant with the nuclear deal, of course our allies wanted us to stay in. then we imposed tougher sanctions. so he is building up a case to try to provoke iran into some
4:15 pm
response. the reason why it's so important that we move forward to use force, which we did and the a proep reations committee is this president comes to skng he is considering the use of force. >> do you trust him to come to you? >> it's not a matter of trust. we see how disastrous this white house is and how disorganized they are and no one knows what is going on. >> who are is the boss? >> congress has to assert their responsibility. >> i don't know why he brought a hawk in and it seems like he occasionally pushes back against him. >> bolton was one who thought we should use force against iran. is this the president's person who he is listening to or not? we don't know.
4:16 pm
one day is this policy and the next day it's that. that's why congress and we have to emphasize this, we have to do our responsibility. >> you are moving through the house floor. how do you get past the senate? >> the public has to raise their voices and weigh in with the senate and weigh in with senator mcconnell. the senate has to move forward to make sure we have exercised our system of checks and balances. last week you released the statements and made a difference to the war in iraq. we have been down this road in iraq based on false intelligence and we cannot afford to make that again. >> we can't. when you remember the debate around using force in iraq came forward, i introduced an amendment that said look, let's let the united nations conduct
4:17 pm
these inspections and hold up and determine whether or not there are weapons of mass destruction. fast forward, i got 72 votes. there were no weapons of mass destruction in iraq. that was manufactured. we lost so many young men and women. >> vice president cheney said they had a nuclear weapon. >> it was manufacture and they deceived the public. >> you are a person of progressive thinking and been in this business a long time. what is the prime motive pushing these people to push our country again and again into war in the mideast? what's their motive? >> hard to say what their motive is. some believe it's oil and profit. >> i believe it has more to do with control. policing the world and being -- and this administration at least wanting to exercise in many ways a dictatorial strategy
4:18 pm
throughout the world so that it can comply with whatever their right wing policy is. that's imperialism and it's a new form, but something that i see playing out before us each and every day. in fact it's very sad because they are beginning to erode our democracy in a big way. that's why beginning back to congress, we have to assert our constitutional responsibility, chris. make sure that congress does its job. >> berkeley, california, and oakland are lucky to have them. >> thank you very much. >> i'm glad someone speaks out on this. ideologically sometimes. barbara lee of california. the secretary of state is accusing trump of adequately preparing for different diplomatic effects. knocking on the school window. he's an idiot. he counters by calling tillerson dumb as a rock. with officials with his own
4:19 pm

welcome back to "hardball." a feud with congressional democrats. president trump found time to keep up attacks on former secretary of state, rex tillerson. on the heels of reports that tillerson briefed the house foreign affairs committee about his time in the trump administration, the president tweeted a man who is dumb as a rock and on totally ill prepared and irl ilequipped that i was outprepared by vladimir putin and a meeting in hamburg, germany. i don't think putin would agree. president trump had a very different opinion of the former exxon-mobil ceo.
4:23 pm
>> some people didn't like rex because he got along with leaders of the world. you have to understand, that's a good thing. that's a good thing, not a bad thing. he is respected all over the world and i think he is going to go down as one of the great, great secretaries. >> rex is a good man. i like rex a lot. i appreciate his commitment and his service. >> stay tuned after the break to find out what ruffled the president's feathers today. you are watching "hardball." s fy you are watching "hardball." get it! get that butterfly!

4:26 pm
4:27 pm
>> welcome back to "hardball." former secretary of state, rex tillerson, told members of the house foreign affairs committee that putin outprepared trump for their meeting in germany. we spent a lot of time talking about how putin seized every opportunity to push what he wanted. there was a discrepancy and preparation that created unequal footing. president trump brushed aside the detail. let's prepared of are you with this meeting with president xi. >> very prepared. i have been preparing for it all of my life. i know every ingredient. i know every stachlt i know it better than anybody. >> putin is kgb.
4:28 pm
putin is fine. he's fine. we are all fine. we are all people. i have been preparing for this stuff my whole life. >> what are you doing to prepare? >> i'm very well prepared. i don't think i have to prepare much. it's about attitude and willing to get things done. >> the one-week preparations, they don't work. ask hillary what happened to her in the debates. >> the united states needed to do more to counter russia. he was also asked to describe president trump's values. he said i cannot. so dane a i assume from your resume you have been experienced. i'm sorry. jeremy. i know who everybody s. jeremy. your job was to prepare people and make sure they were briefed.
4:29 pm
whoever your boss was at the time, they went in with all you needed to know. >> two components and one is intelligence that tell you what you are up against. the second is a set of talking points. you sit and review. in hamburg, the president mailed it in and putin got his number and pushed him around and got every single thing that he and adviser prepared to get. he got. >> some character in the movies, this guy that doesn't know anything. i don't need briefings. what do you make of this? what you are looking at is the bs artists. here comes trump trying whenever he feels criticized. he did this when he had rex tillerson calling him dumb as a
4:30 pm
rock and ill-equipped. why did you hire him? he said central casting. i picked him based on appearance. >> yes and it obviously mixed very poorly. this was not a guy who was interested in having kids in the white house tell him what to do. >> the serious thing i want to hear from tillerson, i would want to know how is jared who never has done anything like this putting together world plans? >> the notion that he is saying well, trump was ill-prepared. hello, captain obvious, we know that by seeing trump every day. that is the more meaningful thing and the irritation of having jared kushner saying i'm going to come out with a mideast peace plan and i have really got the handle on saudi arabia. that's got to be infuriating to the former head of exxon-mobil. >> the guy is captain obvious who said you are an idiot, you

why did he come to the hill today? >> this was the thing he was saying privately as secretary of state. he didn't give a press conference here. >> he asked for an appointment. >> it was a private meeting and the republicans say when the full transcript comes out, it will be more balance and he went out of his way not to explicitly criticize trump. you can't quite help it. >> what's his motive? processism? >> he was filed while sitting on the toilet and constantly cut off at the knees and humiliated. >> do you think he said is he on the toilet? i want to fire him now. it's embarrassing, but apparently accurate. >> i have no idea. >> jeremy was not there.

>> he's not denying it. you called him a moron. >> think that happened in the tank on the first floor of the pentagon in the e ring where the joint chiefs tend to meet. they brought them over for a security meeting to explain to him basic things about the world which he was not getting. at the end he said i want to build 30,000 nuclear weapons. we have about 2,000. it was a crazy request. the guy said the guy is a moron. we have been briefing him for an hour and nothing sunk in. tillerson was well founded in the stability and the confidence of commander in chief. >> where are else can i end tonight? thank you, guys. what a sat discussion. i spent the morning with mayor pete put judge. his blistering attack on donald trump is next. you don't want to miss this baby. this guy is ready it go to war with trump. this guy is ready it go to war with trump
