hillary clinton's campaign chairman john podesta. tonight podesta responds. "the 11th hour" begins now. >>> good evening, i'm in for brian williams tonight. and day one saw the president trump who spent most of the 169 days of his presidency under the specter of the russian role in 2016 election sitting down with russian president vladimir putin. the meeting was scheduled 30 minutes and lasted more than two hours. in front of the cameras president trump sounded upbeat. >> we look forward to a lot of very positive things happening for russia, for the united states. and for everybody concerned. and it's an honor to be with you. thank you. thank you. >> for days the headlines were all about the fact that the meeting was going to happen. now that it's over the headlines are all about the conflicting accounts of what was said in the meeting. rex tillerson, the only u.s. cabinet official in the meeting said that president trump pushed putin on russia's election hacks. while sergei lavrov putin's foreign minister, told reporters a very different story. >> the presid

podesta added, by the way, i had nothing to do with the dnc.ic national committee servers were hacked separately. he ended with this, dude, get your head in the game. you're representing the u.s. at the g-20. podesta, as we look again at the presidential tweet, went further in a "washington post" op-ed, calling into question the president's claim that everyone is talking about this. he also pointed out the cia would never get involved since it is barred from a intelligence gathering. here to talk about this, molly and jason. i w want to talk about the meetings, the strategy and everything that transpired in the past week. but just on the face of it, the claim that everyone here is talking about the podesta e-mails, that can't possibly be true. i can't imagine it came up in the president's meeting with the leaders of south korea and japan and mexico. >> i'm not sure who everybody exactly refers to. i'm obviously not traveling with the president. >> maybe the guy in the mirror when he was shaving. >> look, i think the president has a point here.

all the world leaders talking about jon podesta's server. we'll have him call us to tell us what that crazy moment was about. in a minute. plus, playing chess with putin. what's the end game? what is russia looking for from trump? and the meeting with the president of mexico. what ever happened to the big beautiful wall that was promised? finally, let me finish with trump watch. this is "hardball" where the action is. >>> on the other international news, we got a big jobs report at home. it was stronger than analysts expected. the economy added 220,000 jobs in june, 50,000 more than predicted. june marked the 81st straight month of job creation, the longest streak on record. unemployment ticked up to 4.4% because more people joined the labor force. we'll be right back. >>> welcome back to "hardball." as leaders of the world's largest industrialized countries gather, the president of the united states, president trump decides to tweet about john podesta. he wrote, everyone here is talking about why john podesta refused to give the dnc server

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

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

but look at podesta's response to him.e 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 gravest threat since world war ii. we have an actual madman in north korea with actual nuclear missiles who is apparently now able to hit hawaii and alaska, american soil. that should be full stop the agenda for the united states, to rally the world to stop the threat. i have no love lost for george w. bush, but when he just thought that saddam hussein might have weapons of mass destruction, he rallied the world. he tried to at least. we are in a situation where somebody who -- listen, on saddam hussein's worst day, he could be the psychiatrist for kim jong-un. we're talking about john podesta this

he back channeled to podesta while paul reported to bill. this is not getting better, he told podesta. this is going to keep going down. he could overtake us. let me just say before we go any farther we're really happen to have c-span here. we love c-span. like local television for us washingtonians. and we really like to thank barnes & noble for hosting us. we found out as we were walking in here today that this book showed up as number one on barnes & noble on their website today. across the country. really happy to be here. we like to thank crown publishing. our editor is over there and rachel and many or the people helped make this book possible. so we would be remiss in not mentioning them because they, because they stand along the wall an cheer us on. they're really responsible for a lot of what actually appears in the book. so i think, what we thought might be interesting for you, we talked a little bit to each other, kind of interview each other for a few minutes. then take some of your questions. did you want to kick it off, amie? >

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

why john podesta refused to give the dnc server to the f.b.i. and the cia. disgraceful. for more on the president's across-packed day at the g20 and the inaction by the senate leaders on healthcare and other issues, we are joined by fred barnes, and mollie hemingway. thank you both for being here. i have to say that i think the president has acquitted himself so well, mollie. 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 spearfish

this is a bit of a mind-number to me, john podesta on a road trip with his wife.d 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 se

this isn't getting better, she told podesta. this is going to keep going down.e could overtake us. let me just say before we go any farther than we are happy to have c-span here. it's like local television for us washingtonians and we would really like to think barnes and noble for hosting. we found out as we were walking in today that the book showed up as number one barnes and noble on the website today across the country so we are happy to be here and we would really like to thank our editor and publisher over there along with rachel and many other people that helped make the possible. because they stand really responsible for what appears in the book. we will talk a little bit to each other and kind of interview each other for a few minutes and then take some of your questions if you want to kick it off, amy. >> even though john and i have worked together for a few bucks, i think we still -- i have an idea of the moments and the inner workings, but i kind of don't commit too so we will take it off this way and then let you chime in as well. so, let's start o

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

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

obviously, podesta responding, but, he's been victimized by this.en 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 american president who doesn't preach to him about values and human rights. who also could endorse the idea of a sphere of influence world, which is what trump wants. which is what putin really wants. this is why i think it's so dangerous and as ron was saying to show any kind of weakness to not bring it up that will make trump uncomfortable. he needs to be talking about that. >> what about the political impact of this stage if the president does not raise the issue of the russian hacking and doesn't, you know, say to vladmir putin, cut it out. >

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

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

john podesta's family having russian stock, tied to russian stock companies. three examples of actual deals being done by clinton. where is the investigation? >> not just clinton. the dnc met with ukrainian officials for dirt on donald trump and there was no uproar over that. the american public is saying let's be consistent. >> kat: i think as a human i am allowed to be bothered. >> i am bothered by the selective outrage. >> eboni: let's not have such short memories. if we go back to before the election, i was one of the people advocating and i wasn't alone that said there should be an investigation into the clinton foundation, investigations into business dealings with the clintons. i don't buy there wasn't outrage about what both clinton's did. >> eric: you are both right. you said this should be. but you are in the minority of journalism. most people are like, i let that go. meeting between trump's son and a lawyer and this is the collusion you want to investigate? >> on two issues that matter to the american people. 353 minutes dedicated between may 17 an

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

t it's what he retreats to. >> nobody knew who john podesta was. he worked in the white house and he worked for hillary clinton's campaign. there was no dnc. >> i'll tell you that in your green room before this progra e preparing to see if the president tweeted about the meeting. that's the real read out we're all waiting to get. >> this afternoon podesta followed up. as president, trump is supposed to be doing his job representing the united states in a respectable fashion to make sure we maintain and enhance our standing around the world. instead he has his face glued to the phone. on his first foreign trip you'll remember it was almost like somebody put his phone in a lock box. what do you think happened here. >> he was likely surrounded by his colleagues. people who support him and nod when he says things. there hasn't been much control of his twitter lately. he's been tweeting a lot of things most mornings of week. this came out. >> exactly. this is one that had i mean three major factual errors. podesta was not at the dnc. there's not a conne

hillary clinton's campaign chairman john podesta. tonight podesta responds. 11th hour" begins now np. >>> good evening ink from our nbc news headquarters in new york. in for brian williams opinion day 169 of the trump administration saw the president trump who spent most of the 169 days of his presidency under the specter of the russian role in 2016 election sitting down with vladimir putin. the meeting was scheduled 30 minutes and lasted more than two hours. in front of the ca

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

>> 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

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

podesta who had no ability to turn over to investigators responded get a grip, man. the russians committed a crime when they stole my e-mails to help get you elected president. there was some harmony in the meeting. >> there was a very clear positive chemistry between the two. >> reporter: both leaders worked to deescalate hostilities in syria. that may not be enough for european leaders like angela merkel who appeared to flash an eye roll during her own meeting with putin. the president spared any diplomatic niceties when he was asked whether he still expects mexico to pay for a wall on the border. absolutely, he said. >> now, one of the other big questions that need to be resolved coming out of this g20 summit is just what the president thinks about these conversations about russian meddling and last year's election. the secretary of state rex tillerson said the president was essentially passing on the concerns of the american people, expressing some of his frustrations according to the russian foreign minister lavrov, that does not tell us whether russia definitiv

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

former clinton campaign chair john podesta. let's move away from health care and start with the latest white house shakeup. reince priebus is out. john kelly is in as chief of staff. you have worked for two administrations. counsellor to president obama, bill clinton's chief of staff. what does a change at the top like this mean for the white house as a whole? >> well, martha, look, it's an important move, i think, for the white house. i think -- general kelly will have his hands full tomorrow morning when he starts work at the white house. he's got to really do three things. i think. one, is, to provide -- to end the chaos. to get some discipline in this white house. that will be exceedingly difficult to do, as jonathan karl mentioned because he has to get the president to be disciplined. he's shown no that. he's got to restore strategic priority. not just the republican leadership. he needs to talk to democrats as well. and third, and maybe the most difficult thing he needs to do, is -- and you might be surprised to hear me s

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

for the record, podesta chaired clinton's campaign, not the dnc committee.esta is on a road trip and responded by tweeting himself saying pulled in for a pit stop in west virginia to see that our whack job potus is tweeting about me at the g-20. get a grip. the russians committed a crime when they stole my e-mails to help get you elected president. he went on throwing more shade but ended his tweet storm with, quote, dude, get your head in the game. you're representing the u.s. at the g-20. american politics, always subtle, always so dignified. and that is where we will leave it for this friday. i'm done with this. ali velshi, you have a good show i imagine. >> i'll try and make it subtle and dignified. you have a fantastic evening and weekend. hard to imagine hire stakes than president putin, president trump, 2:16 in a closed door room. so what did they say? it depends who you ask of course. when it comes to the primary issue, election hacking, russia's foreign minister who was in the room said president trump accepted putin's insistence that there was no h

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

they did that to the democratic and johncommittee podesta and others. we know they tried to answer the computer systems of many states -- enter the computer systems of electorals' processes. it is a problem for america and for the world. not only did they break the law, they used that information as a political weapon with disinformation and rolling out through wikileaks illegally obtained emails and information from the democratic national committee and john podesta. that is illegal and the russians did that. the question of whether trump and his camp included in that process is what is being investigated by congress. we need to put in place clear laws that deal with this particular set of problems. we need to sanction russia. that is a vote for the congress of the united states will take up today. i will be a very adamant supporter of those sanctions. host: cassandra in alabama. line for democrats. caller: good morning. i have a question. this issue was addressed last night on msnbc, but i haven't heard this morning. fires thesident attorney general o

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 get done here. one article that looks like you did the police when you didn't. i

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

on top of that, if they briefed the campaign, put john podesta under oath and have him testify. robby mook as well. this is a major scandal, but only the tip of the iceberg of what needs to be investigated. we still have christopher steel, the former intelligence agent of great britain, that wrote the fake news dossier about donald trump, and, by the way, paid for some of the information, that cited russian sources, and then the group connected to hillary that's fusion gps, remember, they were sending it around, and the democrats were using that phony information to attack then candidate/now president trump. they need to be brought from congress under oath and answer questions. then the former fbi director, comey, he wanted to pay this guy 50 grand, and his removal of government information from the fbi, legging it to "the new york times," helping his friend to be a special counsel. let's put him under oath in this. the special counsel ended up becoming comey's buddy, robert mueller. oh, okay. then he hires hillary clinton's attorney. we've been saying this over and over again.
