Charge. Mr. President earlier this week, fbi director asked the Justice Department to reject the president s claim. Last anytime he was on the hill meeting with house ask senate leaders. The topic was matters related to trump tower. Here is that. Illegal wiretap white house leader nancy pelosi were both in that meeting with comey, both declined to comment on what was said. Here is nancy pelosi this morning. Theoretically, do i think that the director of the fbi who knows for a fact that something is mythology but misleading to the American People, and he should set the record straight, yes, i do think he should say that publicly. For getting comey for moment, going to the president , what is going on there . Really . I think that he crossed a line with that. Its red plameat for the base. We do not use fisa against the American People. Thats right. After the day she was briefed by comey. Here what the congressman, congressman schiff said after being briefed by comey. I have not seen evidence to substain atehat. Meanwhile i stand by the statement i have seen no evidence. Did President Trumps charge go too far. Will be forced to recant. The panel is here to talk about this. I want you to start because you are a big picture guy. This is six days of a smear by comey that telling everybody else at the Justice Department push back on the story. Its not true. Everybody in the intelligence, and the ones willing to talk all say, wait i minute. I still believe theres nothing there. They didnt learn anything it in. Nothings there. I talked to a senator and house members, both leaders who knows what was said there. There was no statement by comey to indicate, just the opposite that number one, president obama, ordered anything. Which he didnt do apparently. Or that a directly involved donald trump. Might there have been a a fisa warning not trump. There is a raging battle between the president and the fbi where donald trump has used his author to try to change the subject from the russia investigation to Something Else and take on comey in the process. Malcolm, it seems to me that comey is scared. He cant lk. He is unable to say the truth to the public because he will get fired for it. It seems to that trump will fire him faster because the president is not telling the truth. Comey knows its not true. Explain to me the motive why he tells everybody its not true. He wont stand there like a man to say sorry, mr. President , i never wiretapped you on behalf of the former president ever. Thats a fact. Stop saying it. In fact, take it back. Why doesnt he do it . I think it may be coming. More importantly, its important that President Trump stand up, tell the American People that he lied and that it was just he should, he should stand up and say i hi spoke, it was a joke. Whatever he used over the past year. He has to man up on this subject. Its not the fbis job to correct the president. We have new combat forces going to syria. We have a Crisis Brewing with north korea. How can we believe him on that. Its not comeys job to clean it up. I think the creditability issue is crux of this problem. It started with the birther when you Say Something about a guy born in kenya and he snuck in thecountry, when he did doing it now. He has a thing about smearing obama. He cannot stand the fact he left with a clean record. Two things. One it is go ahead. I can tell we have at president saying and surrogates saying massachusetts voters were taken over the border in new hampshire. When you have soldiers going off to war that creditability become important and i wonder how far he can continue to do this before it can be suggests pretty far. I would say theres something about the eternal war between barack obama and donald trump that began years ago. It began with the birthism and continued with the jokes obama made at dinner. Number two, it is trump versus comey, which the trump people view as a nest of people who oppose him. As for comey he may want to stay in the shadows for him he has a record of coming out in public and explaining his actions to prove he is not political, he did it in the fall with Hillary Clinton and the emails. He came out and said were looking at this. I want t tell everybody about it. Im trying to make your point which is he should come out given his past behavior. He said i expect to be her for the full term. Sean spicer was asked about his bosss claim. Lets watch. If theres no evidence that any wor any wiretapping took place, will president apologize to obama for making a serious charge. Lets not get ahead of our self ourselves. Youre asking if theres evidence. Im not getting into series of hypotheticals about an investigation that hasnt occurred. Once its done, well respond appropriately. Can you explain why he hasnt asked the fbi director about this correctly. We believe that the house and Intelligence Committee have the appropriate form and staff to look into and report back. How long can he live in the barrel. He will say anything. Every reporter is the best reporter, everybody asking great questions. All you have to do is call fbi director to ask if you have evidence of the wiretapping. Better scenario, call him up ahead of time, he does have the evidence, show us. Prejudge. We dont want to prejudge it. Prejudge what . Youre in world of intelligence, i want to get a damage report here. The president of the United States my wife was over in vietnam. He running he is mixed bag and dictator. He says im not going to listen to america any more as a role model. We said we have a democratic model the world can learn and use. Now they are saying no thanks. Thats the hard they dont want to be like us because they think were a joke. We have a president who acts like some guy in pakistan. This is third world jokes this is what were doing and were doing now because of trump. Youre right. Look at the organization you started with peace core. They are talking they are . S theres talk about it, getting rid of it. There was a time when United States stood for everything that was decent and respectful in this world. We created globalization for gods sake with the products we shipped out afterworld war we have to dismantle it and turn back on ourselves and create intern internal enemies. If you have a guy from ro rwanda turning down our they drive around in long march and deer pick up trucks that come from china. We dont want to engage in the world. America firstism is going to destroy this nation standing in the world and these guys are happy to whistle on the way to doing it. Well said. Thank you. Sometimes i think youre over heated.

The worst jobs report in six and a half years. 38,000 jobs. Its going to wrong way. 5 figure is one of the biggest hoaxes. End of last week they came out with an anemic terrible jobs report.

President Trump National security adviser Michael Flynn identified himself as former agent this week. His lobbying work could have benefitted turkey. Flynn and company filed registration paper work describing 500,000 worth of lobbying before election day. Yesterday, White House Press secretary said the president was not aware of flynns lobbying. Was the president aware that general flynn was acting as agent what i dont believe that was known. I would had the president had known that would he had appointed him. I dont know. Its a hypothetical i am not prepared to ask. Lawyers did inform him. Flynn may need to register as a Foreign Agent. It was up to him to decide what to do. You have an attorney calling the transition saying that the person who line to be National Security adviser may need to register as Foreign Agent that doesnt raise a red flag. Its a question of whether or not they gave him the advice they were supposed to. The transition officials were not overly concerned. The question is did they provide him the avenue they were supposed to. Did they tell him to seek counsel and they did. When see the reports and news points out flynn was lobbying for turkey. Joining me david and michael. David, what hit me when i heard this, why didnt we know this . Why didnt anything get done about it. The Transition Team did know about flynn. They were informed about flynns lobbying. Cautioned him there apeerpeared be a conflict of interest. They didnt do anything about it. It was almost unobserved. What we know is this had the information and they didnt act on it ask they let flynn go forward. The issues being raised is he retroactively registered. He was working for a Foreign Government and never told anybody. What if he had been picked and e he never told anybody, he is getting paid working for somebody else. He was hiding. It would have been fatal. To whom . Flynn would say i severed my relationship before i was appointed. Isnt the whole thing with draining the swamp and getting rid of paid for play. L he is on the payroll. 4,030,000 430,000 was a lot to be getting paid. Lets take a look at this. Pence denied knowing about Michael Flynns work. There is making the president look smart. Let me say hearing the story was the first i ever heard of it. And i fully support the decision president made to ask flynns resignation. Youre dispointed about the story . First i have heard of it. Its affirm nation of the president s decision to ask general flynn to resign. David, im trying to figure out s there an administration i was saying, the scary think is were no longer a role model because were sleep at the helm. Were not giving a roll model about democracy. Looking for president s to resign at end of terms or leave office, teaching them the lesson from washington, which is you have to give up power at some point. The reason of the vetting of potential cabinet or appointees matter so you have orderly process what people have done, what positions they have taken. And other countries key off this. The reason theres order of lawful practice is because United States is traditionally run the system and insisted on it. In its fwogovernment activitiesd can banking rules and those are under attack now. You cannot give speeches for nbc and take money. We have rules and this guy, flynn, didnt think it was a problem getting paid working to r a Foreign Government while working for trum i here you. He think he should have registered and he did that. He did it this week. He did it retroactively. His lawyers are saying, you better look at everything you done. Meanwhile, the state department is at risk right now. We have secretary heading off with heading off to asia. Why would you go over not want to be reported on. He used to be ceo of exxonmobil. He has not learned the washington rules. You need to be make waves, you need to be seen, you need to have policy explained to the press corps to do that. I think he could be a good secretary of state he has to learn how to do it and how to play in this world. Whats i have been sme sneaking around trying to figure out whats going on up there. Theres no evidence of any tapping of the past president by this president. Is isnt true. Anything that called him got swept up in that he was picked up in the tapping of foreigners. Yes, if youre talking to an ambassador or someone from Foreign Government you ought to know theres somebody listening to you. Thats been my experience. Thank you. Up next, obamacare looks like its diagnogoing to surviv. Obama light they cannot sell to the tea part types. This is hardball. Not their cup of tea. Well be right back. Igh ho its off to work we go woman on the gulf coast, new exxonmobil projects are expected to create over 45,000 jobs.

Its pope francis may be consideringo allow organizers are allowed gays to march in the parade this year. Back to hardball. Welcome back. President trump is harnessing the to make sales pitch repealing and replacing obamacare. He thanked leaders for their work and lobbed another attack on president obama. We must act to save america from imploded healthcare. 17 would be a disaster for obamacare. Thats the year it was meant to explode because obama wont be here. That was supposed to be. It will get worst. This is the time were going to get it done. Were working together. We have great results. We have tremendous spirit and its something that will happen shortly. President trump, and Speaker Paul Ryan have to convince certain colleagues to get on board. Lets simple do what we told the voters we were going to do whether they sent us here. President trump says thats what this is. This keep i think this keeps way too much of the structure of obamacare. Potential roadblock, how much the bill will cost. 16 million will lose coverage under healthcare act. He was confident that republicans with get this done. Joining me now. I have to start with john, how many times in congress i we had a situation where the purist want something, they want to get rid of obamacare, they swore they would do it. They voted 50 times to get rid of it. Now they have to vote for it knowing it will be signed by the president. If they vote obama light, if preexisting conditions, all the good enough, its an entitlement and they dont want to vote on that. Repeal and replace. I remember what happened in 2003 when republicans campaigned on Prescription Drug benefit, conservatives revolted because they didnt want to spend the money. But we got enough to vote for the act in 2003. Its been a successful program. You think it will get 216 votes . Its going to take paul an every ounce of his being to get this done. It would be dumbest thing to vote for this. Instead of railing against obamacare, you have to defend this, all the stuff that gets rid of the cadillac tax, and mandated requirements. Where is the money coming into system . Trump would be blamed. He doesnt want it to be called trump care. They know this is a turkey. Understand from paul ryan and certainly for the conservative people, healthcare is not issue. Donald trump when we ran for president said he was going to cover everybody with Better Health insurance for less money. This does none of those things. The most important thing is covering everybody. If you cant afford health insurance, you dont deserve health insurance. Thats the real mindset. You are seeing that in the fight. I want to know what the conservative position it seems like your partyis choked on that. You dont want to go back to the free market. Republicans voted against obamacare. Now you want to go to Something Like obamacare. Which is tax credit. Dollar for dollar. That means the government is going to pay you in dollars. If you dont pay enough they give the dollars. Thats a subsidy. Thats why you have medicaid part d. , the fact of the matter, tax credit help credit market conditions. How is that not entitlements . Do you believe in entitlement type healthcare does the government haves right to give you healthcare . Which is what this bill does. Is not the perfect bill, its opening bid, its going to is it going to cover everybody . For rich people we have ideologic problem here. They are totally against it in their being. They dont believe in anything but the market. Yes. I have a lot of sympathy for john who has to come out to defend this bag of crap that landed on his lap and i feel sorry for him. When you asked direct question do you think everybody ought to have healthcare. The answer is no we dont care. Trump pretended to care. But nothing he says really means anything so dont count on that. He doesnt really care. Let interject on that. Not Everybody Needs healthcare. Everybody needs healthcare. What i said, they dont need it delivered by the government. What they need is a private Sector Program that works. For people who need the help, they are going to get the help were the program. No, they doesnt. 15 million people. Then you have hard line tea party types. They would rather repeal it and get it over with. They dont agree. Your Tea Party People are not the normal republicans. I remember when we had socalled tea party guy. The fact is we have obamacare. If you want to change it, you have to replace it with something better. This is what this bill is. You have to sell it. Thats what im doing right now. Thank you. Very much. Hardball roundtable is going to be here. Why is fbi director comey keeping quiet while he goes around telling people dont believe this.

Theoretically, do i think that a director of the fbi who knows nor a fact that something is mythology but misleading to the American People and he should set the record straight, yes, i do think he should say that publicly. Welcome back to hardball. That was nancy pelosi calling fbi comey to set the record straight. As the New York Times reported they have declined to do so. Mr. Comey has remained silent on the issue. For fmore on this continuing story let bringn the harl table. Let go to franchesca, as you were there, comey wascying i have no evidence in this meeting with the fbi director that suggests there was request for president obama to use wiretapping to get to trump. She would not comments on that directly. However i asked if she see anything to lead her to believe that conducted on she told me obama would not do that and it could not possibly be true. Here is what seems to be going on comey knows, but wont say because he doesnt want to lose his job. At that point theres no relationship between the president and fbi director. Theres no relationship. He doesnt want to pick a public fight with the sitting president. Everybody in the office would you rat him out. Then you goes to will somebody do this so i dont have to do it and lose my job. Is seems to be whats going on. Comey said he doesnt believe you should weigh on every do you think its a good do you think that was well thought through . Of course not. What we learned is that people dont know on the hill what did happen. People have said after being briefed they have seen evidence it means he didnt tell them. You think no one in the house, the gang of eight, the democrats and republicans alike, youre arguing, nobody asked about the elephant in the room . They asked if they has the information, he did not disclose it. And we know that wasnt that the reason he was up there. It was routine briefing. We know that he hasnt given a clear answer on this why et. Whether or not wiretapping is a word that means anything, i do think if you look at Obama Administration to trump world, i do think there are people who believe there was surveillance done. A listening devises on phones or rooms, which one do you think was used by obama on trump . I think by obama on trump . By surveillance. Who ordered it . Where would trump get that information from . You sound like kellyanne i s ijts. You know because the wall street post were reporting that people in trump world were being investigated. You know that. Help me out. Youre crowd are saying that the president was bugged by his predecessor. Thats a simple fact. The Obama Administration could have surveilled there are four possible scenarios here. Either he wasnt or its possible that he was surveilled illegally as he alleged you mean president obama hired plumbers, you believe that . Im knot saying that. That donald trump was the subject of a probe. A probe that would have only allowed the surveillance if there was a warrant. If there was warrant is there any reason to believe that president obama ordered a wiretap of trump as a candidate. The white house provided no evidence to that affect. Thank you. Up next.

The right wing web site gate way pundit, which the Trump Administration has awarded a White House Press credential to, has revived the claim that barack obama wasnt born in this country. Gateway pundit posted an article about Barack Obamas half brother malik, a trump supporter, who tweeted a birth certificate he suggests came from a hospital in kenya. What they fail to mention is that socalled birth certificate was s a fake. It was dpe bunked years ago because it doesnt resemble the birth certificate used in kenya in 1961 when the president was born. Thats a fact. Well be right back.

Trump watch, friday, march 10, 2017. For a half dozen days, donald trump has promulgate it had charge that barack obama, his president ial predecessor, had him wiretapped. Thats what he said. President obama did it and was sick to do it. For si days trump hung this story out there, at any time he could have pulled it back, said he couldnt confirm, said the information didnt hold up. He hasnt. Hes let the world believe that he believes the former president had him bugged. This is thirdworld behavior, the kind of claim demagogues from poor countries spout off when theyre desperate or are out to seize more power, trying to cling to what power they have. If trump has evidence he should produce it. If director comey does not have evidence, he should say so. The whole thing is beneath the country. Remember we knew that. Thats hardball. Thanks for being with us. Fall this with chris hayes starts right now. Tonight on all in dont believe those phony numbers. Day 50 in the trump white house.
