everyone here is talking about why john podesta refused to give the dnc server to the fbi and the ciaaceful. now podesta who in the middle of a road trip across the country with his wife applied in a series of tweets get a grip man the russians committed a crime when he they stole my emails to help get you electored president. also maybe unite try to find a way to mention that to president putin. he ended with dude, get your head in the game. you're representing the u.s. at the g20. earlier this evening john podesta called into hard ball and spoke with chris matthews about his reaction to the president's tweets. >> it's just totally amazing. i mean i think my tweets kind of reflected my view which is how could you imagine sitting there preparing for one of the most important meetings you'll have on the world stage. both with the bilateral with putin and more particularly at the g20 summit and be staring at his phone and tweeting about me. and all of it's wrong. >> here with me now senior politics report foreusa today and msnbc political analyst. white house reporter for bloomberg shan

everyone here is talking about why john podesta refused to give the dnc server to the fbi and the ciadisgraceful. now podesta who is in the middle of a road trip across the country with his wife applied in a series of tweets get a grip man the russians committed a crime had they stole my e-mails to help get you elected president. >> earlier, he called about his reaction to the president's tweet. >> it's just totally amazing. i mean, i think my tweets kind of reflected my view, which is how could you imagine sitting there preparing for one of the most important meetings you will have on the world stage, both with the bilateral with putin, and more particularly, at the g20 summit, and be staring at his phone and tweeting about me. and all of it's wrong. >> here with me now, senior politics reporter, white house reporter for bloomberg, heidi, let me just start with you. the president had the biggest meeting so far of his presidency. he has china to worry about and north korea, and syria, and g20, and germany and angela merkel. what was he doing thinking about john podesta, someone i imag

this is a little high schoolish again involving trump and bringing up that attack on john podesta. we just had him on the road trim out west. it is childish. >> he tweeted in the morning, blaming the victim. >> blaming podesta for being hacked by the russians. >> and the day before, he said nobody is really sure who did it. so that fish, the vivid fish you have on the table, trump doesn't want to eat it either. trump is vested in continuing to deny if not obscure that russia hacked the election. if he admits it, it casts a shadow on his victory over hillary clinton and he would have to do something about it. i think he did bring it up. his aide. you'll look like a weak guy if you don't but then he was happy to drop it. >> you look at all the man spreading. i've never seen guys sit like that. like they're both trying to be jocks. i've never seen a meeting last so long and have so little product. over two hours. after it was over, melania had to come in and say let's finish. that didn't work. when trying to distill any product. there's nothing there, really. >> i think you made great

so john podesta had always cooperated with law enforcement.re do you start to process everything that's wrong with the way that the leader of the free world woke up this morning? >> so i have a theory behind this. donald trump knew exactly what he was doing. remember, he's a producer. remember, he knows the television like better than anyone else. i think in his mind, i think he was trying to say, you know what, about this whole russia thing, let me talk to putin about this. but let me throw everyone off the scent here and tweet about john podesta. the reality is that no one outside of washington, d.c. knows who john podesta is with the exception of vladimir putin. so in donald trump's head i think he was trying to produce this from thousands of miles apart. i know that sounds twisted but this is what the president does. he's crazy like a fox. he understands -- remember, donald trump not speaking to us. he's not speaking to the corridor. he is speaking to the people who voted for him and i'm quoting him directly. i can go out and shoot someone

john podesta. thank you for taking time. i'm joined now by the political reporter and the msnbc an list as well. this is bizarre. more than a side bar. the mentality of the united states going into a meeting with the world leaders and he is trying on trash an old argument and john podesta was never accused of anything. there was nothing by the cia or anybody. >> it tells you where his head was hours before his meeting with putin. and i'm normally not of the belief the president tweets strategically. i think he is thinking and feeling what he's thinking at the moment. he knows that the hacking is going to come up, i do think this was an incident where he believes this is a good talking the point for him. moving away from what the russians did and moving it back to the democrats. >> this won't make the front pages of the paper. >> i don't know that it was something for them. i think he knows it will be a hard conversation. i'm not saying correctly but he thinks this is a good talking point to distract from the real issue. >> w

around here is wondering why john podesta refused to give his computer to investigators. disgusting. he responded, get a grip, man. the russians committed a crime when they stole tmy e-mails in n effort to get you elected. >> there was a clear and positive chemistry between the two. >> reporter: they agreed on syria and ukraine. that may not be enough for german leader angela merkel who appeared to flash an eyeroll during her own exchange with putin. . pll spared any diplomatic ni. >> are you still going to have mexico pay for the wall? >> absolutely, he said. >> they did not want to stop their meeting. according to rex tillerson, the two leaders were talking for so long that first lady melania trump had to poke her head in the door just to move things along. >>> protesters clashed today as president trump met with vladimir putin and other world leaders. first lady melania trump unable to leave her hotel for a time because of these protests. senior u.n. correspondent fred pleitgen has been covering the protests. fred, thousands in the street tonight. i'm seeing a fire bur

this is a bit of a mind-number to me, john podesta on a road trip with his wife. out on twitter because he decides to respond to twitter. the president tweets and john a podesta says i'm on a road trip with my wife to see our whack jop potus, president of the united states, from john podesta, is tweeting about me at the g-20. get a grip, man. the russians commit add crime when they stole my e-mails to help get you elected. by the way, i have nothing to do with the dnc. dude, get your head in the game. you're resting the united states at the g-20. >> may be the first time john podesta's ever used the word "dude." >> it was his evil twin. >> a major topic of conversation. yeah. >> but this is, again -- >> speaking of the, the base. right? i don't know. i agree, i don't know if there's a grand strategy, to the extent, when donald trump uses twitter he's speaking to a different audience. right? it's not really meant to be conveyed to the leaders of the g-20. >> speaking to the base, an hour or so before he's about to go into this high-stakes meeting with putin and ser

trump tweeted today, everyone here, meaning in germany, is talking about why john podesta refused to give the dnc server to the fbi, disgraceful.

snooping around the edges for is far less pungent that hillary clinton had with, as i mentione john podesta bill clinton doing speeches. not even campaign coffers. clinton foundation. what about the russian dossier of the clinton foundation got their hands on. someone, i think john mccain had it. it ended up being all falls, all foreign put together. christopher steele was a british national with the information together. collusion was far more pungent on the left than anything to do with trump. >> eboni: jeff, let me ask you. we can have that conversation eric is talking about. at some point, that narrative also got stale. aren't we going to have to look at what the trump administration is doing? >> yes. we can go back and look at what the clintons did and on and on. i agree at some point we have to be in the present moment and move forward and focus on what's happening now. >> kat: i don't understand why we are talking about the clintons right now. yeah, they've gotten away with a lot. they are at the center of a lot of corruption but i don't understand how anybody can look at these email

is not going to report that john podesta did it. is just as dirty as hillary clinton, every bit as involved in the democratic party, the hacking of the dnc server, that was all because of plans before donald trump got in so they could discredit donald trump. we have to concentrate right now on how do we fix the problems in our country. we have the snowflakes saying this that and the other against him and they are being paid by george euros to do it. -- george soros to do it. get the creatures out of the swamp and turn it back into this beautiful washington, d.c. lake we used to have. host: when is calling from illinois, democratic line, what are your thoughts about the meeting? caller: i do not think they should of gotten together without more people. he has lied about everything he has ever done. about a week and a half ago, they had on tv that he was told almost 700 lies. and different truths about stuff he has done. and these people that all say they got his back, well, he has got their front. that is all i have to say. host: bus

the president tweeting everybody is talkings about john podesta. about podesta over there, which makes sense because why would you be? what does he gain by tweeting that? >> i think he has the ability to play games or, you know, on lots of different levels. and i don't mean a game necessarily. although van might say it is a game. but i think he does keep people off ball hans. he's unpredictable. it is something the american people are cap vacittivated by. we saw spontaneous things on our own twitters. in this case it is a substantive question. >> or we consider it unprofessional and we don't. >> some would. but look at podesta's response to him. we got down in the gutter and called the president of the united states a whack job. but i think it is a substantive question, why isn't there an investigation about podesta when he was on the government payroll sitting on the board of a company that was doing business with russia. >> van? >> no, it's not. you know, part of what's so sad is that this is a summer when the united states is facing probably it's

brother, john podesta podesta, made a lot of money, took the money and put in names, can't be traced. no one is investigating. the ry gave uranium to russians, tripled in price, she no money for her foundation, one is investigating that. d.n.c. would not let anybody check their computers when they were hacked, what are hiding? i mean, these are questions i'd like to see answered. virginia in huntsville, alabama, on the democrat's line, go ahead. yes, i'm a democrat and first of all, i want to sashgs i c-span and i pray that y'all be able to continue with programs and not being censored where you can't have in.ple come i want to say, i'm concerned about the health care. retired government concerned nd i'm about people not getting health care at a reasonable price have to ot be that you deductible for insurance, that is ridiculous. the democratic party has left should be they fighting for us and bringing for hcare costs down deductible should never be over $1000 and they can do it. to be fighting for the all this, instead of running around trying to do everything, but fights for the pe

here is what john podesta writes. a cross country road trip with my wife, for a pit stop in w, west virginia to see our wax job president is tweeting about me at the g-20. these are his words. get a grip, man. the russians committed a crime when they pulled my e-mail to get you e lekked president. maybe you might try to mention that to president putin. by the way, i had nothing to do with the dnc. susan, your reaction to this? >> i think the harsh words are somewhat merited, particularly the get a grip part. remember the trump/putin meeting is not the only thing at the g-20 meeting. climate change, syria, north korea. we need a president whose focus, at the top of his game, representing the united states on the issues that are important to us. sort of his tweets about john po testa and the dnc doesn't evidence an individual who is taking the threats really, really seriously, representing the united states in a way that really is going to be advocating for our interest. i think it's unsurprising but he's going to get s

emails. >> absolutely. >> tucker: of john podesta's email?> also, in europe. >> tucker: you are daunting. look into the camera. >> i think that ronald reagan -- >> tucker: ronald reagan, ronald reagan. >> you are carrying water for the kremlin. >> tucker: you are on the inside committee and they say -- >> you have to move your show to rt russian television -- >> tucker: that is so beneath your office because it is so dumb when you are being duplicitous. i am asking you, did they hack podesta's emails? you can't say it. you just said i was carrying water -- [laughter] that is pretty hilarious. >> when you essentially are an apologist for the kremlin, that is what you do. >> tucker: one last time, congressman, look into the camera and say they hacked john podesta's emails. we know for a fact that putin government dead. you can't, and you know that you can't, and you are hiding behind weasel words. >> i won't be specific. >> tucker: because you don't know it. done. won. you don't know what and you are alleging it without any evidence. >> you are

between john podesta and the government of russia. here's whathe he says tonight.r, is a daily newspaper reader, i haven't read much about this. give us an outline of what we know. >> yeah, very few people have covered this. we first reported it back in july, and there's new information that's come up. in january of 2011, when john podesta's advising hillary clinton as secretary of state as part of a foreign policy advisory board, advising hert on personnel matters, speeches, policy, he joins the board of a boston-based energy company called jewel energy. two months after he joins the board, the russian government in the form of a sovereign wealth fund controlled by vladimir putin -- this is a fund called putin's child, they invest $35 million into this company. it's a big investment. the company at this point has only raised $110 million. they get board seats, ticket memberships on those executive committees, and john podesta get 75,000 shares of stock in this company.hn he goes and joins the obama administration in the white house as a senior counselor, he transf

servers haven't been made available to -- >> the president wasn't talking about the dnc servers but john podestae the case that podesta shouldn't have pulled over on his way to vacation as much as i could say the president shouldn't have been tweeting about this hours before meeting with vladimir putin, which was a pretty important meeting. >> yeah, that's right. but this is what he does. i think it's pretty silly to think that anybody over there is really wondering about the dnc, you know, server. i mean, it is just ridiculous. the fact of the matter is, he keeps making this claim about the dnc not coordinating. it is not even a true claim. the dnc said multiple times, by the time they were contacted by the department of homeland security, it'd already been rectified. this isn't everyone -- this is one of these things that donald trump made up and people keep repeating. separate from that, as john podesta pointed out, he didn't work at the dnc. >> robbie, you're more than a casual observer and had more than a casual relationship with this. want to get your reaction before we move on to the deep

not sure who everyone is, not sure world leaders are knowing why john podesta didn't give access to the dnc server but it raises the question whether or not the president will bring up russia's alleged interference in the us election in this bilateral meeting. we don't know what the agenda will be. there are potentially areas of common ground on syria, maybe increasing cooperation between the united states and russia. they could talk about north korea but there will be a point of disagreement over the ukraine, crimea, what the president said in warsaw about the policies russia is pursuing that he says are destabilizing. >> america is committed to maintaining peace and stability in central eastern europe, we are working with poland in response to russia's actions and destabilizing behavior. >> reporter: the way it is planned will be an intimate affair rather than there being 7 or 8 people in the room, various people from the state department and national security council. it will only be the president and rex tillerson, secretary of state and interpreter. rex tillerson knows vladimir put

john podesta was not at the dnc and had nothing to do with his server.t's a complete mix match between wwikileaks. podesta, who has been cross country, driving cross country with his wife on a trip to the west coast, he tweeted a series of tweets, tweeting, pulled in for a pit stop in east fairmont west virginia to see our whack job potus is tweeting about me. the russians committed a crime when they stole my e-mails to help to get you elected. i had nothing to do with the dnc god only knows what you'll be raving about by the time we get to utah. obviously, podesta responding, but, he's been victimized by this. ten years of his g mails were dumped out by wikileaks. to you, rick, is this the way for the president of the united states to prepare for a g 20 meeting with vladmir putin, to be tweeting about john podesta and the dnc? >> i think it diminishes him terribly and the role of the u.s. at the g 20. the russians are very adept at social media, they're seeing that. in fact, i think trump is a kind of putin's dream. he's always wanted a transactional am

let set aside for the moment that john podesta has nothing at all do with the dnc server.oot moment that even if john podesta designed, built and lived with the serve beer, it seems that everyone at the g-20 would be talking about it. but this isn't the first time the president has insisted he knows what everyone and everybody is talking about. >> obamacare is dead. been saying it for a long time. everybody knows it. it will be the biggest vote. everybody says it. everybody says it. everybody says how honest everything is. everyone thinks a candidate is being wonderful. there would be nothing wrong if i did say it according to everybody that i've read today. everybody wants to be on -- it will be announced at the appropriate time and everyone will be happy. and you know this. everybody knows this. everybody has to know this. i think it's totally ridiculous. everybody thinks so. >> john podesta understandably fails to see the humor in the president trump's tweet. he writes that the russians stole his e-mails and helped expose the people he communicated with to harm. one cou

so here you have a situation which john podesta has a commercial relationship directly with the russianovernment. there are two russians that are sitting on the part of this company along with him, while he is advising hillary clinton on the russian reset and other issues. >> tucker: two quick questions questions. is he allowed to do this from his perch in the federal government? orchestrate decision-making for the company? >> that's a great question, tucker. he was an official advisor but not on the state department payroll when he was with hillary clinton. when he joined the obama white house, he transferred those shares because he could not hold those shares. the problem is that he says that he fully divested from them, but the emails that came out to wiki links to make leaks sit indicate that he was still making decisions on the shares he on. the kids were not involved. that's the problem. >> tucker: very quickly, is there any reason the -- >> absolutely, it has all kinds of applications. commercial and potentially military. the purpose of this fund was to create jobs in russia, and

>> former clinton campaign manager john podesta joins me tonight. new questions of possible collusion. >> why aren't more of these people coming clean? >> as undisclosed russian meetings with the trump campaign pile up. >> i can't think of bigger lies. >> then the senate returns and so do the protesters. as republicans hatch another plan to ram through a health care bill. and what miss universe and a billionaire wannabe pop star have to do with possible collusion? >> i'm really tired of you. >> when "all in" starts right now. good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. we now know that despite countless assurances to the contrary some of the most senior members of the trump campaign did meet with the russian national before the 2016 election. since the possibility was first raised of potential coordination between the trump campaign and russian efforts to interfere in the election, the president and his team denied having any contact with russian individuals. >> are there any ties between mr. trump, you, your campaign and the putin regime? >> no, t

bring in john podesta, put them under oath, he needs to testify. this is a major scandal but only the tip of the iceberg of what needs to be investigated. we still have the russian dossier, c christopher steele te former intelligence agent great britain. he wrote that fake news dossier aboutd donald trump and paid for some of the information that cited russian sources and then the group connected to hillary, that's a fusion gps, remember? they were sending at the rounde of the democrats were using that phony information to attack then candidate now president trump. they all need to be brought before congress under oath and answer questions. and of course we got the former fbi director comey, they want to pay this guy $50,000 and his removal to the government fbi g to "the new york times" and helping to get hisng friend al. special counsel. let's put him under oath in the spirit the special counsel ended up becoming comey, buddy robert muller. it's now time to start investigated the investigator. you're not hearing about any ofn this from the mainst

bill clinton hollered at john podesta loud enough to be heard through the walls and laid claim to onhe floor of the hotel in downtown des moines iowa. it was dependence she was watching on tv and they were getting it all wrong again as the results of the caucuses trickled in. hillary was leading but it was going to be tight. it doesn't get a whole lot closer than that. thathe assessment invited to parallel to the 2008 loss to barack obama. after all, that had been a three-way race and she was still likely to come out the winner on the site. the race is going to go on for months and months on the democratic side in the headquarters and the perception all might have been had hillary was such a prohibited runner to the democratic nomination site that she should have cleaned up easily. still had a much different perspective iowa had never been clinton country and hillary increased her share of the return from under 30% in 2008 to 50% give or take a little in 2016. plus unlike obama the state is overwhelmingly white riddled with colleges and decidedly working-class. that was hillary showi

heidi, i saw you tweeted there about the president attacking john podesta on twitter just hours beforehat meeting with vladimir putin. so besides the errors in the president's tweet, was this some sort of a strategy for dealing with putin? >> it's hard to know. if you want to believe that it was a strategy, then this is my theory on what was going on. if you couple this with the fact that he was also denigrating our intelligence agencies, think about who john podesta is. he is the primary victim of russian hacking. so on the eve of his meeting with putin, he's attacking the primary victim of russian hacking and attacking our own intelligence agency. so he goes into this meeting and the first thing he brings up is something he's probably uncomfortable bringing up, the hacking. he's got to do it. this is a way beforehand to ingratiate himself by doing these things that would be very satisfying to vladimir putin. so you can choose to believe that if you want to believe it's strategic, or it's just part of this whole pattern of inexplicable random twitter outbursts that he just -- a though

. >> i saw you on twitter about president trump attacking john podesta. was this a strategy for his meeting with putin? >> as much as anyone can ascribe a extra testrategy from what tr, he was trying to draw attention from his meeting with vladimir putin. it seems to make him much more comfortable to talk about the failings of the hillary clinton campaign than anything related to vladimir putin. as hallie jackson was saying, there's an amazing misunderstanding or agreement about whether or not trump accepted vladimir putin's denial and he purposely gave a very incoherent kind of answer prior to the meeting as to whether or not he even believed russia was involved in the election hacking. so trump's decision to focus attention on john podesta was clearly aimed at drawing attention away from that meeting with putin. >> well, not able to draw attention away from that meeting. jonathan, how does president trump return to washington not having been more forceful with putin when he had this chance? >> you know, it's interesting. obviously just four people in th

of the trump administrati administration's version of the facts is that ridiculous tweet about john podesta. everyone here is talking about it. who does he mean by everyone? it's safe to say that most of the foreign diplomats have no idea who john podesta was or what that relatively narrow point from the 2016 election which is almost a year ago now, what significance it might have been on this very critical question. so i think the trump administration just by being unclear, by having that nonsense tweet and by failing to actually have a straightforward on camera briefing with reporters right after the meeting sort of did themselves no favor. >> so let me come to you on this new cease fire that was announced. this is not the first cease fire that would have been brokered between the u.s. and russia. there was one that was announced about ten months ago that lasted three days. what's the significance of this one? put it into context. >> reporter: exactly. you know, as soon as i heard big news out of the trump putin meeting, there is a syrian cease fire agreement i thought, well, how long is

at this moment taking aim at john podesta, a clinton campaign staffer. saying everyone here is talking about why john podesta refused to give the dnc server to the fbi and the cia. disgraceful. that's where the president's head is at this morning. of course, the g20 summit is playing out against the backdrop of intense protests. about 111 german police officers were injured. skirmishes starting up this morning, protesters setting cars on fire, even attacking a police helicopter. back to you. >> brief brief meetinee -- g20 site of anti-globalization protesters mostly. thank you. >>> there's plenty on the agenda as presidents trump and putin meet at the g20. so much in fact that the russians were saying the limited time available might make it hard to delve into russia's aggression in ukraine and crimea. that leaves syria, isis, nato sanctions and more. we have more from ivan watson in moscow. looking from both sides, what would constitute a successful meeting for the russians? what would constitute a successful meeting for the u.s.? >> reporter: the fact

i think it's wonderful that he will take on the likes of john podesta if he has a like from the summit, take on the left-wing media whether it's cnn or nbc and still be the leader of the free world. mollie: one thing that's good about it, it gets people to refocus on the issues. if you are concerned about russian meddling in a campaign, and people are, there are a lot of questions that aren't answered. i understand why the dnc wouldn't want to turn over their servers to the f.b.i. but it's odd the intelligence agency wouldn't have been more direct about seizing some of these things if they are so concerned about this type of russian meddling. the podesta thing was spearfishing which means he clicked on something he shouldn't have in his email. lou: his stupidity was unending. and thank got system did work. our system of a free press in that instance, by the was entirely dependent on the agents of the russian intelligence agencies. fred, your thoughts here. he was in an extraordinary performance, and we have another day for president trump to demonstrate why he is the leader of the free

i apologize from reno, nevada, to john podesta. ve you back soon. >>> meanwhile, senator john mccain's closest friend on capitol hill fighting through his emotions today to update reporters on his condition. lindsey graham. >> he wants to come back in the worst way. he love his family. he loves his friends. but his passion above all else is his voice for his country. >> what does -- how is his spirit? how is his mood when you talk to him? >> well, better than mine. >> rhode island senator jack reed joins me now. senator reed is the top democrat on the armed services committee, so has worked closely, of course, with the chairman. senator john mccain, where they served together for 20 years. i know this is a tough day. what reactions do you have about john mccain? >> he's an extraordinary american hero. he is a great inspiration to all of us. we may not disagree all the time, but there is no question that he's dedicated his entire life to serving the nation with integrity and with intelligence and with passion. and i am hoping and i e

when he took to twitter this morning he tweeted about john podesta. everyone here is talking about why john podesta refused to give dnc server to the fbi and the cia. disgraceful. i'm obviously not in the room, but just looking at that room this morning as i'm looking at world leader, angela merkel and christine lagarde and manuel macron, i'm going to take a wild guess here, they ain't talking about john podesta. >> no, they're not. what's interesting is going back to again his actions, what he's actually -- >> okay but why isn't -- >> a couple tweets? >> hold on. if those actions are so legitimate and if they're so strong, why isn't the president underscoring them? why is he -- >> but i would like that he would. >> i'm so glad you would like that. why do you think -- >> well, again, i've looked at a breakdown of his tweets in the month of june. 88% of his tweets i liked because he was talking about what the administration was doing, all the good things going on. >> the majority of his tweets have been attacking the media. >> that's not true. about 12

that is what harry reid and john podesta has always said, that has always been the democratic claim.his evidence doeoes not in any way to just that. whatat it suggests instead is tt donald trump, jr. was told that the russian government had incriminating evidence about hillary clinton and wanted to give it to him. he said, well, i would love to have it. now, i guess there is some sense that it is wrong for a political campaign to take dirt on your adversary from a foreign government. i don't think it is illegal at all to do that, but there is a claim that it is somehow immoral. what i don't understand, the a frome dossier came somebody who was getting first paid by republicans and the democrats, going to moscow and getting dirt about donald trump from kremlin affiliated agents and moscow. in other words, he went to russia, talked to people affiliated with the government and said, give major to about donald trump. presumably, got it and put it in the memo. similarly, there is an amazing political article from january of this year that describes how allies of the clinton campaign, incl

would be spending his time in the barro months before john podesta's e-mails were released.do know that, you know, trump campaign supporters were amplifying the leaked e-mails and trump himself said i love wikileaks, who was being used as a cutout for the russia intelligence services. >> and there were reports that one of the interviews this week is going to be susan rice. can you dispute that report? >> again, i can't do into individual witnesses. we've agreed, you know, to bring in all relevant witnesses. majority, republicans, i think, have an unhealthy focus on what they call unmasking. there has been no evidence put forward at all that anyone did anything wrong in reviewing intelligence. the white house has the power of declassification. and so i would expect that if there was wrongdoing by anyone in the obama administration, they would have declassified that already. i think this is a distraction, but i understand that it's part of the investigation and we'll do our part and, you know, i think the american people can decide. >> i know that if that were to take place, i

donald trump is tough on our intelligence agency, with john podesta using that argument.r story here too, a lot of missteps when it came to this russian middling. president obama met at the g 20 summit with vladimir putin, very critical of vladimir putin in terms of saying stop meddling in our elections, they were very much comfortable with this idea, didn't become a big story until donald trump won the election. >> the cochairwoman of the women's march. calling for jihad against donald trump and his administration. addressing islamic society. when we stand up to those who oppress -- that is a form of jihad. not only abroad in the middle east. where fascist and white supremacist and islamphobos reining in the white house. >> he also said muslim americans number one priority should be not to assimilate, not to fight back, but assimilate -- >> even if -- basically came to a defense. not trying to incite violence, but compare herself to martin luther king, martin luther king who loved america, martin luther king who fought for civil rights in america, those who are more extr

john podesta is right.s server? there are so many more pressing issues going on, i highly doubt that people are talking about this over at the g-20 when there are so many other pressing issues on the world stage. i think john podesta made a series of very valid points yesterday across his road trip across the country. abby: kelsey, one thing we know about president trump he does multiple things at one time. democrats say he can only tweet and can't get his job done but clearly the man likes to do it all. >> president trump raised an interesting question. why hasn't the dnc handed over its server. always seems to come down to servers when it comes to democrats. but it is the democrats who are obsessed with getting to the bottom of this russian meddling in the election. so you think they would be begging to cooperate with federal officials in this investigation. abby: good point, adrian. is that hypocritical though? you are talking about the importance of this russian investigation. why not the importance of

i do not know if the russian state hacked into john podesta scheme ailes and gave them to wiki leaks but i do know barack obama's director of national intelligence has not provided credible to support his claims of russia i also know he perjured himself in a senate hearing planned three months before the revelations provided by edward snowden he denied to be n.s.a. was carrying out wholesale surveillance of the us. the hyperventilating corporate media has once again proved to be an echo for government claims that cannot be verified you would have thought they would have learned something after serving as george w. bush's useful idiots in the lead up to the invasion of iraq. it is vitally important that the press remains rooted in a fact based universe especially when we enter an era when truth and fiction are becoming indistinguishable. from a trial where i've spent countless hours poring through documents that tell the story about the abuse i.

enter go curtailment as part of the wikileaks e-mails obtained of the clinton campaign chairman john podesta face-to-face with an e-mail he sent to podesta seeking to check his reporting. after sustaining criticism that the e-mail piper clearance of the trap of the clinton campaign he tweeted nobody controls my stories but me. i asked him about the situation and i'm paraphrasing but i asked about the situation said their publications of various policy sample at here by the policies of my publication and i write not to share editorial content. where you said i didn't discuss discuss -- >> guest: i'm glad you did this article. the article that i was referring to and i can find the site later if you would like. >> host: there's an article on haberman. >> guest: you found one that did and the others you didn't then you are saying -- huskies had articles on the promotion and i didn't discuss it. there it is. >> guest: there is an article where you didn't find the controversy. i will find it and sent it to you. are you saying now it didn't mention the controversy? i will give you decide after we g

and wiki leaks starts releases john podesta's e-mails. that happened right after the dni release. when you look at a time line like that, what do you think? >> it certainly raises a lot of questions. the one date you omitted from that is the week after the meeting, the second week in june is when the dnc releases the report by crowd strike, the private security firm saying the russians pen straited their computers. it was just days after the russian influence campaign surfaced. the changing stories. the failure to disclose, raise so many questions about this. the fact that political campaigns traffic in political information and want to hear about it should not be a surprise, but if the same offer was made to a more professional campaign, like the clinton campaign, most likely john podesta they would not have been meeting with whoever offered it. some cutout, some intermediary would have been assigned to take that meeting, listen, evaluate and vet it. the fact that this went straight to the top, it is what is really surprising here. it points to their interest or just the inep tin

hollered at john podesta loud enough to be heard through the walls of the little ante room he clade claim to on the 10th floor of the historic savoie hotel in des moines, iowa. it was the damn pundits on tv. getting it all wrong again. as a result of iowa caucuses trickled in. hillary was leading but it was going to be tight. omg, wolf blitzer said on cnn it doesn't get a whole lot closer than that. that assessment invited parallels to hillary's 2008 loss to barack obama. it was in bill's view an absurd comparison. after all that had been a three-way race. she was still likely to come out the winner on this night, not the third place finisher. but journalists competing with her in iowa and deja vu was a hard storyline to resist. the outcome tonight insures this ways will go on for months and months on the democrat side, blitzer's colleague reported that night from sanders headquarters. the perception all night hillary was such prohibitive front-runner heading into the democrat nomination fight she should have have cleaned up easily. bill had a much different perspective. iowa had never be

>> i think john podesta is right. nk john kelley have a handful when he shows up at that white house tomorrow. the disorganization the dysfunction, the disloyalty, the amount of leaks. the people taking matters into their own hands. the pro ttaganism we've seen, wl john kelly be able to do this? i know a lot of political leaders. known a lot of them through the years. i have never in any one case, not seen a staff and a level of functionality of the office that does not accurately reflect the principle. john kelly is the chief of staff. he's not a miracle worker. this has got to start with donald trump. if donald trump wants more discipline, he needs to give john kelly the power, the absolute power, to exert that discipline, build the structure and carry it through in the white house. if he is sabotaging john kelly from day one by allows scaramucci to go off are and, you know, go do his crazy stunts on tv, and, you know, kellyanne to do the other, and jared to go be his own pirate on the ship, then there's nothing john

hillary clinton's campaign chairman john podesta. tonight podesta responds.now. >>> good evening. i'm ali velshi from our nbc news headquarters here in new york. i'm in for brian williams tonight. day 169

why do they hire john podesta's brother. why did the people who wanted uranium give millions and millions of dollars to the foundation that does not release who donates to it. i'm very happy. let's had the republican incompetence. i thing we should look at russian influence efforts but let's start with the clinton's. why is it that we are really worried about paul manafort. but were not really worried about these other people. what is the difference between john podesta's brother and paul manafort. why are we worried about a half million dollars to bill clinton which was paid i think at about the same point that hillary was making a decision about uranium. it can't matter because you see it's impossible for russia to be pro- clinton and therefore by republican congressman the other day. they had been talking about it how about if the president said to the president of russia as soon as the election is over i will be able to do a lot of stuff i cannot do now. it is what he said. i am very happy to look at russian influence in
