let's bring back tonight's panel, zerlina maxwell, jake maxwell, susan del percio.s the president doing? what is the strategy? does he really like putin so much more than he likes everybody else? >> i don't know what his strategy is. i think bob mueller is looking into exactly what his strategy is and what is the intention behind his actions and his words. i think that slowly we're getting to a point where the answer is going to be ugly. there just defies explanation however many times he's defending putin or not criticizing him while criticizing justin trudeau or someone who is our staunch ally. i don't know what his strategy is, but i hope that it's not what we all have predicted for the past few years. >> how is he going to be received at this nato summit? ian bremmer was on cbs saying when he was meeting with merkel up in canada for the g-7, he threw a couple of starbursts or something on the table and said here, angela, don't tell you i never gave you anything and then he gets on a plane and starts fighting with justin trudeau before he goes and shakes hands an

there, donald trump is a detriment. >> zerlina, susan, great.conversations today. >>> up next, we've got an incredible story of overcoming the odds and the courage to move forward, pioneered by the first woman to ever finish the new york city marathon with a prosthetic leg. a special good news rules is next. >>> but first, take a look at this, an accidental 911 calls turns into a danceoff in l.a. and then until they floss. and the kid goes full-out on him and let's face it, the deputy can't hold up. go someplace exotic? yeah, bermuda. a hospital in bermuda. a hospital in bermuda. what? what happened? i got a little over-confident on a moped. even with insurance, we had to dip into our 401(k) so it set us back a little bit. sometimes you don't have a choice. but it doesn't mean you can't get back on track. great. yeah, great. i'd like to go back to bermuda. i hear it's nice. yeah, i'd like to see it. no judgment. just guidance. td ameritrade. one second. barely enough time for this man to take a bite of turkey. but for cyber criminals it's plenty

jake, zerlina and susan. jake, i think has just been the family berserker.o talk about this. >> he's saying one thing in front of a bunch of reporters. i'll meet with anyone, no preconditions. the president of the united states issing a that. and then his secretary of state, no, actually we've got some things we want. they did the same thing with north korea. >> this crazy world, i know, it's crazy. so republicans -- this is not an exaggeration to say republican foreign policy for the last decade has been predicated in a large part on not meeting with dictators and bad actors on the global stage without preconditions, period. the republican party went crazy when the president -- when president obama went to cuba to meet with raul castro. >> they were really upset when he upset when he talked to rahouni on the phone in 2013. >> he goes and meets with people and says he doesn't know if there could be a deal unless i meet with them. it completely throws out the foreign policy that tom cotton and mike pompeo when he was in office. >> they said in 2013 that obama

. >>> after the break, zerlina maxwell, evan siegfried, maria teresa kumar are going to join me in thence movement against the president. (harmonica interrupts) how they could save 15% or more by... (harmonica interrupts) ...by just calling or going online to geico.com. (harmonica interrupts) (sighs and chuckles) sorry, are you gonna... (harmonica interrupts) everytime. geico. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. yes. it's a targeted medicine proven to help prevent severe asthma attacks, and lower oral steroid use. about 50% of people with severe asthma have too many cells called eosinophils in their lungs. fasenra™ is designed to work with the body to target and remove eosinophils. fasenra™ is an add-on injection for people 12 and up with severe eosinophilic asthma. don't use fasenra™ for sudden breathing problems or other problems caused by eosinophils. fasenra™ may cause headache, sore throat, and allergic reactions. get help right away if you have swelling of your face, mouth, and tongue, or trouble breathing. don't stop your asthma treatments unless your doctor

the panel is back, sahil, zerlina and john. john, i cut you off.t bubble was out there. >> very simple. in two weeks, the first serious trial of the mueller investigation commences. that will be the -- >> scheduled to commence. >> scheduled to commence. >> you never know. >> it's the 26th of the july is supposed to be when the paul manafort trial starts. one of the reasons that there. haven't seen anything. now we're going to have a trial, that will stem some of the stuff going on in congress. there will be real news. an actual event in the mueller investigation. we'll see what happens from there. >> i said this before, one crime everybody agrees was committed, the theft of podesta e-mails. >> who was co-conspirator, who knew about it, was communicating with wikileaks at the time. could have been roger stone or folks of that ilk. >> mark meadows is questioning mr. strzok. some people want to hear that i imagine. >> my experience, i can think of examples, not that i participated in, where members if there's an on-going case say and field office want

let me -- daniel, i want to get to the point zerlina raised. the potential supreme court justice could ultimately have to make an important decision. a lot of different scenarios could play out before a case like that gets in front of a supreme court with the full bench in place. but do you think that a future supreme court justice appointed by this president in his confirmation hearing should ahead would or she would recuse herself if that issue came up before this bench? >> that's a really interesting question. you know, not necessarily. i'd have to think about that a little bit more. i think not necessarily. you know, the mere fact that a particular president appointed that justice, i don't think creates a presumption that that justice is going to be unable to trul in an impartial way on questions involving that president going forward, certainly presidents -- supreme court justices have to rule on various questions, implicating the administration's that appoint them. i'm not sure i would endorse that. >> all right. lawrence, how much of a s

it was zpiekable. >> do you think anything of substance came from this zerlina. >> no. i don't think so. to rick's point i was nodding along very excited rick made the point. because, the idea gnat oversight committee is criticizing peter strzok for having bias in an investigation while they clearly demonstrate their bias in an investigation is the ultimate irony. but in addition i'd love to see the republican text messages from that point in the campaign. >> me too. >> because as peter articulated during his testimony and again i'm not defending his behavior or actions i think they were inappropriate and he was appropriately removed. but he was talking about a point in the campaign when president trump attacked the kahn family everyone in in america was outraged. we thought it was disqualifying for the presidency. orp at least somebody trying to seek the highest office, attacking a gold star family in that way. i'd love to see the republican text messages. but i don't think anything came out of this other than the republicans look really silly, particularly because the

thank you, robert costa, zerlina maxwell, susan del percio. coming up, the president's long-term fixer michael cohen speaks out saying family and country come first, not trump. cohen used to say he would take a bullet for the president. not necessarily looking that way anymore. plus just two weeks ago president trump was bragging that we could all sleep well at night because the north korea situation no longer posed a nuclear threat. bay stunning new report shows that kim jong un may be defying trump and ramping up his country's nuclear program. >>> and trump tries to rewrite history when it comes to immigration reform. the "hardball" round table is going to weigh in on that. plus national security adviser john bolton's attempt at explaining the president's foreign policy. a very interesting piece of tape. and finally, the round table is going o'tell us three things we might not know. this is "hardball," where the action is. the chili pepper sweat-out. not cool. freezing away fat cells with coolsculpting? now that's cool! coolsculpting safely

also joining me is phil bump, national correspondent for "the washington post," zerlina maxwell and noah rothman, associate editor at comment dairy magazine. michael, let's start with you. foreign minister lavrov today said it was a fabulous -- the talks were fabulous and better than super. is that an understatement for vladimir putin? >> well, better than super, there's a phrase in russian that mr. lavrov used and he's not usually a giddy guy. he's not a smiling guy and he was today. they got everything they wanted. i think they even got more than they wanted. none of the past behavior, egregious behavior that they have done the last several years was brought up. no mention of annexation. no mention in crimea in 2014. no mention of the support for horrible dictator in syria. and the worst of it all, as you just were describing, when teed up to hit it out of the park for president trump to push back on vladimir putin for what he did during our 2016 presidential election, he chose not to push back. it would have been so easy for him just to say a few words of, you know, we don't want you
