reach to change what for them was an exercise in arousing their own base so they could say we impeach donald trump. the democrats can pursue whatever policy they want. they don't dictate to me how best to bring us to the attention of the american people. >> but you can understand why your critics say why didn't he come forward before? why is he making a profit on this now? >> it is nothing to do with making a profit. it is every thing do with making sure that the constitutional responsibilities that are accorded the different branches of government are carried out the right way. >> host: john bolton on abc news last night about his forthcoming book, "the room where it happened." again it is released martyr john bolton on a media tour this week expected to then "good morning america" this morning and other interviews throughout the week. just another one posted last night at 10 p.m. eastern just after that abc j news interview

12:41 pm
unbelievable and shocking at the same time. bolton should've done this before but nownk that he has doe it, let's ride with it. bar, i think is totally wrong about everything that he said, and trump is just unbelievable. he doesn't even know countries. he doesn't understand anything about our country it sounds like. another thing that is annoying is that whyhy can't he just do e right thing for the american people? >> host: you say he should of done it before and why can't he do the right thing? are you saying hee should have testified during the impeachment trial, john bolton, in that interview last night saying he doesn't want president trump to have a secondp term, doesn't think that d is capable of the b of being president ofof united states but doing it in this form, putting that in public in the book, that he is doing get, said that's the more effective way of ensuring that the second term doesn't have it. what you think about that
12:42 pm
argument? >> caller: i think it's a good argument but at the same time i also think that if he had spoken sooner, the american people would've had a much better idea of what this president is doing in our white house. we deserve better. >> host: that's jane in brooklyn, new york, this morning. or from john bolton about president trump's fitness fort office. >> i think he was so focused on the reelection that longer-term considerations fell by the wayside. there was considerable emphasis on the photo opportunity and the press reaction to it, and little focus on what such meetings did the bargaining position of the united states. >> are you saying that all decisions the president made were driven byt reelection? >> thank you very much, el paso. they give very much. >> i didn't see anything whether wasn't the major factor.th a lot of people have complained is a short attention span and he
12:43 pm
doesn't focus. i want to see what comes to reelection, his attention span was infinite. it's just too bad there wasn't more of that when he came to national security. >> you described the present as erratic, foolish, behave irrationally, bizarrely. you can't leave them alone for a minute. he saw a conspiracy behind rocks. he couldn't tell the difference between his personal interest in the countries interests. >> i don't think is that for office.' i don't think he has the confidence to carry out the job. >> host: from abc news last night. john barbican the c27 national security adviser on april on april 9, 2018 picky says he reside. president trump says he was fired. the book about that time as the national security adviser comes out tomorrow, getting your thoughts this morning of the "washington journal." bradenton, braden ten florida, , good morning. >> caller: good morning. >> host: go ahead. >> caller: the reason why i'm calling is i i listen to you evy
12:44 pm
morning. i like the news get from you. but my question to you is, actually two. one is why we do listen to the news of fox? seems like their all for trump. and the second is, why can't they eliminate the electoral vote? [inaudible conversations] stick around and we will talk about voting in this country in our 8 a.m. segment of the "washington journal." emily will be joining us to talk about her new book, what you need to know about voting and why, a professor out of the university of maryland baltimore county. dating that conversation in our 8 a.m. our the spinning this first hour talking about john bolton, former u.n. ambassador come former national security adviser, that interview last i is getting a lot of attention. we will stick with calls on that
12:45 pm
just for thiss first hour this morning. mark is next out of tennessee, a republican. good morning. >> caller: yes, good morning. >> host: go ahead, sir tragedy yes. i just think the the presidents been treated very unfairly. i watched the entire speech and i thought was pretty good. you know, i'm a republican and i just think that he has been treated very unfairly by the press. i mean, it's just my opinion, you said you watched the speech. did you watch the interview with john bolton on abc news last night? >> caller: yes, i did. john bolton is, you do, i think he is 70 years old and is probably washed up like the president said. he doesn't have to worry about his future career because he doesn't have a future career. he just wants to make money off of conversations that he might've had with the president or any confidential
12:46 pm
conversations. >> host: what did you think about john bolton's appointment when he became national security adviser to president trump? did you like at the time? >> caller: i did, yes. i actually liked his appointment. i thought he was the right man for the job, but eventually it became clear to me that john bolton had a different agenda than the president did. you know, you have to serve come in that job you serve at the pleasure of the president so -- >> host: what is john bolton's agenda, mark? >> caller: he was a warmonger. he wanted wanted to go to war with iran. he did want to pull troops out of iraq that t you want to troos in syria i mean, he just seemed to be a person that, and president trump, he ran on pulling troops out of foreign countries. john bolton i think didn't like that very much. >> host: so should it not been
12:47 pm
picked for the job? should the president have known his positions on h that issue goingue back years? >> caller: well, i think the president should a probably or his people read it should of research that a little more because, as it turns out john bolton was a person who does like war.oe he likes building rockets and missiles and all of that. he's part of the military-industrial system. to me, you know, he disagreed with what the president ran on. the president rant on pulling troops out of these nonsensical wars and these conflicts that we continue to get into. >> host: that's mark intimacy. this is tied with at a new york city, a democrat, good morning try to good morning thanks for taking my call. donald trump did not stand up to expectations. amanda is not a politician. he doesn't know what he's doing and you expect something better
12:48 pm
out of him? it's like getting a mechanic to do open-heart surgery. he may be an excellent mechanic but is not a surgeon. and john bolton, you know, he's telling what we already knew about donald trump. he's a liar. he don't believe in the rule of law. before he became president. so now this is completely up to people.ican we are either going to vote him back in or we are not. to use the tactics of suppressingss the vote and you e what's happening in georgia, kentucky, all over this country where they are stopping people from voting and making long lines. it's up to us and the american people to get this man out of office. we already know he is not qualified to be president. he already told us when he asked russia to helping when on national tv. so now we are surprised that ite did all of this, that he was impeached and that he should of
12:49 pm
been taken out of office back then. we can stop lying to ourselves and know that this man is not qualified here and it understand that if the devil and jesus christ was eligible to run for president, the devil would get votes. you understand? people would vote for the devil. but we as a people that understand that, it's that in the best interest of all of us. >> host: tyrone at new york. melba, republican, houston, texas, good morning trip to "good morning america." this is melba from houston, texas. john bolton is totally discredited. he is an old war horse who just wants a state in the mix. that's essential all it is. he needs to let it go and that trump do whatt he needs to do to take care ofri america. we want trump and we're going to vote him in again. thanks. >> host: when other headline for you, this from the front page of the "washington times" today. too late, bolton book
12:50 pm
revelations while democrats. some still want testimony from john bolton is a headline. some reaction from democrats on capitol hill. first from the man who led the impeachment inquiry in the house adam schiff, chairman of house intelligence committee. tonight he said after the bolton interview, bolton was present why didn't come forward and testify instead of saving it for a book. bolton says it was about the cash. to quote a different op-eds when you're somebody this is not about money, it's about money. some $2 million paid for john bolton to write this book, "the room where it happened." maxine waters democratic congresswomanic from californiar tweet from early in a week after the book came out when this understand that if right wing war hawk bolton turned against trump in his weekly conversation heard of trump soliciting president xi jinping to open when his reelection in 2020, that trump is worse than you ever thought, a deplorable undermining of our democracy and
12:51 pm
a traitor. more reaction from hakeem jeffries, one of the impeachment investigators appointed in the house. he was on abc this week and asked in hindsight whether they should have done more when it came tojo john bolton during the impeachment inquiry. this is part of that interview. >> not at all. john bolton is a political opportunist and a profiteer. he had the opportunity to step forward and participate in the house impeachment inquiry and share any information that he had about wrongdoing by president trump and other members of his administration, and he declined. he also could've stepped forward in the midst of the city impeachment i trial, but he ran and hid. that's unfortunate. at the end of the day, however, house impeachment managers proved with clear and convincing evidence that donald trump
12:52 pm
corruptly abuse his power by pressuring a foreign government, ukraine, to target joe biden, an american citizen, solely for political gain as part of his corrupt scheme to interview in the 2020 election. we establishel that. the senate committed malpractice in terms of acquitting donald trump, and now it's in the hands of the american people. >> host: congressman hakeem jeffries of new york onw abc's this week yesterday morning. for his part president trump hasn't tweeted about bolton sense that interview last night on abc news but has tweet quite a bit about john bolton in the past couple of days since the details of his book "the room where it happened" started to leak out in the press. here's one of them from late last week. bolton's book which is getting terrible reviews is a compilation of liza made up stories all the didn't make me look bad. the president saying last week many other ridiculous statements here trivets to me were never
12:53 pm
made. pure fiction, just try to get even for firing him like the sick puppy he is. that's the president in one of that ten tweets about john bolton 1 last week and some of e republican reaction. this amio yesterday evening. if as john both supposed implies in his book, writes thomas massey of kentucky, he says rand paul convince president trump not to make john bolton as secretary of state, then rand paul deserves a nobel peace prize and to thank you from the president. that is from the republican cogs and from kentucky. one more from congressman doug college of georgia focusing in on that $2 million payment number saying apparently that's all it took for john bolton to sell off what little credibility he had left. giving the reaction this morning in the first hour of the "washingtonth journal." phone lines split up by political parties.
12:54 pm
sophia out of the bronx, republican. good morning. you watch? >> caller: yes, i did. good morning,f john. thank you for letting me say something. first, i wanted to say you don't sound like pedro. you don't look like pedro. -- [inaudible] so joseph c-span because pedro broke one of the leading from one american news, and so, but anyway, i want to leave it that way and youve been handling it perfect. back to bolton. i will not buy his book for $29.95. he ruined the conservative party. donald, president trump is not a conservative or republican or democrat. i don't know what he is.
12:55 pm
he had his chance to do something aboutth it, not only impeachment, but bob mueller, which i -- 50 page. he could've -- the only one saved just aav little bit was mt romney. thank you for visiting to my opinion. >> host: this is a win out of detroit. democrat, good morning. >> caller: can you hearca me? >> host: yes, man. >> caller: okay. it's good to see you, john. >> host: good to hear you. go ahead. >> caller: i think that john bolton, he didn't bring his book, i mean, he didn't talk before congress during the impeachment because he already knew that no matter what his book said, that the senate was not going to confiscate and everything and it would still event the same result. they just were not going to do
12:56 pm
anything. >> host: do you think it makes more of a difference now this book just months on election day in this country with everything it has in it? >> caller: yeah i do. i think with everything going on with his book coming out it is more proof, and the people, we already know. we have seen, we have heard, we know what the president has done, you know, and we know that he is unfit for the office. i think that the best way to get trump out of there is to have this conversation that he needs to resign. so if there needs to be pressure on trump to resign because he is unfit. he has not held up his responsibility of being a president. he has divided the country. he has -- our allies, you know, he has torn down our relationships, and we see over and over again all the people
12:57 pm
that he said he is going to impact he would bring people, they said that he is not fit. >> host: before you go, do you think there's a lot of people out in america who are still waiting to be convinced on whether president trump is fit or unfit for office? whatever side they fall on come to think there's a lot of people left that this book will convince to the unfit category? >> caller: i think it's not the book. but the book adds to the conversation. it's a lot of people, even trump's people, they know he is unfit, they know that but they just like you. they like the entertainment. they like that he is supposed to be wherever he is and that he disrupts the system. they know he is unfit. they know that they are hurting and everything, but the people who want to make a change, like the protesters out there. i mean, people need to call their congressman. they need to push this
12:58 pm
conversation. there needs to be signs out there with the protesters. trump needs to resign. the people need to rise up and called her congressman, send letters and push for him to resign. this conversation needs to be out there because nothing else is going to get rid of them because the senate will not do it. >> host: went out of detroit. jenna alis, trump 2020 campaign senior legal advisor will be joining us for conversation and a conversation with you our peers as well so stick around for that at 90 yen. in about an hour half or so. about a half hour left in the segment of the "washington journal" to get your thoughts about the john bolton interview last night. phone lines split up by political parties there calls on the line to text.
12:59 pm
alan in washington, republican. you are next. >> caller: yeah, thank you. well, it's simple, there's no mystery why he didn't testify before congress. he would've been under oath, and when his lies come out and they have challenged him, he could have been charged with perjury. he is inclined to to jail turkeys going to take the book, and all you people who don't figure that out, that's the dumbest thing i've ever heard. >> host: a question for you. the move to try to block the release of this book claiming that there was classified information in here, and a judge saying that the book could go forward said that john bolton may well have released classified information and could be held responsible for it. what do you think the justice department was concerned about if you think it was all lies that john bolton has put in this book? >> caller: well, they have had
1:00 pm
months. he didn't want to be under oath. you can write a book and you never have to prove it. also, all you guys to talk about trump being unfit, what about that unfit boob we had in there for eight years before? sending guns to mexico. .. this is what he had to say. >> under donald trump, no regular rules apply i'm confident there's no national security information, no classified information. i didn't intend to write anything that revealed
1:01 pm
classified information. >> he calls you a traitor. what you call him? >> i've made my case about the president, not being conservative in the book. >> i'm assuming you have not seen donald trump since you preside? you think you will ever speak to him again? >> i gotta. i'm not going to vote for him in november, certainly not for joe biden either. i will figure out a conservative republican to write and. >> how do you think history will remember donald trump? >> i hope as a one term president who didn't plunge the country into a downward spiral we can't recall from. we can get over one terms, two terms are more trouble about. especially in the mortal field of national security policy,
1:02 pm
this is a danger. >> i was how the interview ended last night. it was an hour long program. highly touted by the network and expect to see john bolton a lot more this week on "good morning america". headed to the view later this week and also exclusive interview with usa today published on the front page. weakening reaction this morning, this is joan out of new jersey a democrat. good morning. >> good morning. interview last night, excerpts really on, i believe what he's saying, it is too bad he did not come forward until he knew while
1:03 pm
impeachment was going on. >> do you think it would have made a difference? >> maybe not because i think people are too rigid in their belief in this party. it should not matter whether you are democrat or republican. the truth is the truth. i think this president is way over his head. i don't think he's fit for office. >> do you think more senators could have been swayed for impeachment if john bolton testified, regardless of people in general, do think there was more flexibility or more ability of senators, republican senators during the impeachment vote to be swayed? >> i think so. not just john bolton, more people should have gone down to testify. with all this, not just john bolton alone, i think other people should have gone down and
1:04 pm
testified, it would have made a lot of difference. >> this is jim out of west virginia, democrat. go ahead. >> good morning. i watched the interview, i don't think it would have made a difference if john bolton would have testified before the senate. that's why the senate, republicans in the senate need to be voted out. it is a must. they need to get rid of trump, which mcconnell, there's so much bad, it is a hellish almost. i was talking about trump, he said he was going to bring the troops back. well yeah, he brought some troops back, he put them on the
1:05 pm
border. they fired tear gas and stuff, at peaceful protesters. thanks for your time. >> you think democrats have a chance of taking them? >> i do. i honestly think they will gain nine seats in the senate. >> 's nine seats in the senate. right now, they need or for the majority. three if they controlled the white house. where do you get the nine seats from? forty think, who do you think is probably being talked as being vulnerable but would have to switch to get to nine? >> wealth, this pandemic has been awful. trumps, whatever you call it, speech in oklahoma, he never mentioned the hundred and what, 22000?
1:06 pm
>> i think 120 was the last count i saw. >> okay, this pandemic has kept people home and they've got to finally see what's been going on. with donald trump and what's been going on with the senate and there's going to be so many people out voting this year that i think come november, democrat, they will keep their congress and joe biden will be president and they will gain at least nine seats. nine seats is what i predict. >> if you want predictions on the 2020 election, a good place to go, inside elections.com, the
1:07 pm
senate map has a breakdown of where they rank the berries senate seat. there's a total of 35 senate seat this cycle. his what democrats are most focused on. collins in maine. all ranked as tossup races that cycle and cory gardner of colorado, his seat in the democratic category, their ranking category. if you go product on, deeper to see the targets democrats might have this cycle. the leaned republican category, the places where republican senators are favored according to the metrics inside elections used for their race ratings. iowa falls in that category. open seat and kansas falls into
1:08 pm
that category. gaining i see in montana and republican category to get to the nine the caller was talking about, democrats would have to pick up even to work beyond th that, digging into the likely reporting category probably be next place target. so that is the breakdown. the political report has their race ratings, something we will talk about throughout the rest of the cycle. did you watch the interview last night? >> good morning. when i wanted to say to the republican, now, he has none at all.
1:09 pm
but they left him, he went after obama and now kennedy in all of the others who loved him, now they are throwing him to the wolf. more republicans in the senate would speak up, they allow mr. trump to do whatever he wants. they stay silent. republicans need to go, they need to vote him out of the senate. there should be more than 9 cents. they have no loyalty. >> the various ways to connect with us via text message, here's comments from those mediums. this is john saying i don't support bolton and i will not
1:10 pm
buy his book. he failed to testify when america needs him, making him a reason this nightmare named trump continues. this is ed on facebook, a deep state implant of the military industrial complex who has no credibility referring to don phone. magicians used flight of words, a fraud. it would not have mattered mr. bone testified at the impeachment trials sadly, can senators made it clear they did not want to hear evidence before quitting this dangerously corrupt president. one more from pat in indiana, i watched bolton interview. he said everything i already knew. i wish he came forward, jumped is not fit to be president. susan out of new jersey, your next. >> i watched some of the interview last night and book or notebook, we've all seen donald trump, what he's done. look at all the members he
1:11 pm
inspired out of his cabinet. we all know right from wrong and the senate needs to be voted out, too. here's ago, it took three psychiatrists to declare someone insane. i've heard at least three on television on different networ networks, the major networks because totally insane, he's got dementia of some sort and that alone, they need to do something about it. they have the power to do it but they've let him go on because it's all about money and power. so the book is probably true, but we all know right from wrong. that's what it all boils down to.
1:12 pm
>> comes out tomorrow. we are talking about the john bolton interview last night on abc the subject for the first hour of the "washington journal" this morning, sharing a few clips from a lot of attention including conference talking about president trump's relationship with kim jong un in, north korean summit, here is more from john bolton met every president has a style the idea that this layer of complements to this dictator would convince him you could make a deal with donald trump. i thought it was strikingly naïve and dangerous. he told kim jong un and we would give up what we called wargames on the korean peninsula. the president didn't seem to understand the wargames were critical to american and south korean ability to be ready to withstand pressure from north korea and to pull down these engagements, these exercises
1:13 pm
because they displease kim jong un and from i thought i was an act of folly. >> just a month before the summit, you praised the president skills you would like him and he's got an outstanding ability to do that. did you believe that. >> not particularly but one of the functions of an administration is to defend the administration. >> the summit was over but the romance was in full bloom. >> trumps nickname for kim jong un and was rocket man. >> he gave him an elton john cd. ♪ tried to explain calling him rocket man was a compliment. don't think we've heard from kim what he thought of that but that would be an interesting tidbit in history but this is the kind of focus that leads you to wonder whether there's an ability to discern what's cosmetic hear from what's truly
1:14 pm
serious. >> you think what he did was dangerous? >> when you deal with the power of nuclear weapons, not taking thought as seriously as he should have was a big mistake. donald trump got a lot. the u.s. itself nothing. >> john bolton last night. this is steve in washington d.c. independent. did you watch? >> didn't watch but. [inaudible] let the people know that donald trump thought he would.
1:15 pm
everybody knows in d.c. -- >> you are a little tough to hear that but we are going to frank out of connecticut, independent. go ahead. >> i enjoy the show, i like hearing the opinions. sometimes a boat little troubled by people or so democrat or republican. if you're upset the race relations of this country and you are going to vote or senator or mayor or your whatever men because they are democrat or republican, then you are part of the problem. you're not part of the solution. donald trump did not create all the problems in this country. has he exaggerated brought them to like? is he offensive? yes. you can't tell me off these
1:16 pm
problems, he made north korea dangerous. did north korea get nuclear weapons on drums watch? no, clinton's watch. the legitimate or that killed tens of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of millions and most of them from what we would call people of color, even americans. we've always acknowledged when we got to work from a disproportionate poor minority guy under barack obama, we must 2000 people in afghanistan? more than george bush washed in afghanistan. proportionally minor. how many under trump? he tried to pull us out of afghanistan and democrats and republicans railed, how dare you take that financial boondoggle week all wore off the table? we haven't lost under donald trump. bush was a danger.
1:17 pm
obama was a danger. there sons and daughters really lost under trump strike do resent that. he is a danger. >> what you think happens this week, congress back in session this week, police reform a key issue on the table. what you think will happen this week? do think they can come together and find legislation in the country? >> i think they will. my problem is, i don't think anything valuable as far as police reform was going to come out of washington. it's going to be more money than perform. simple, smart reform we can do to make the police more citizens, less police like. you're not a cop 124 hours a day. he check in, check out.
1:18 pm
the drive home, he called 911. he's going to be a police officer, no. you're not on duty, you're not a cop. get out of the mindset that there's a 24 hour day warrior. you're not. simple things like that, i just don't think -- and family, i will close with this, but i worried would happen, instead of real reform, we will get people, and i don't care about confederate statues but it's like the victories of the african-american going to be, you got your statures down. that's not fixing schools or police, these false victories every election cycle, african-americans settle for. they do and it offends me, it
1:19 pm
does because in my lifetime, i want to see racial equality and unity and it is not going to happen. it bothers me. we have to stop settling for so victories, vote politicians out and demand better from the next guy. >> the issue of police reform, the opinion page of usa today republican of south carolina, his piece on the justice act the sponsor about legislation, senate republicans are putting forward when it comes to police reform. a few parts of this justice act, it expands the grants, better train and recruit officers, defunding the police is the wrong answer when it comes to
1:20 pm
solving the issues of our nation. it provides for training and de-escalation tactics and intervening when observing excessive users of force, funding available for new body cameras, the bill prevents officers from bouncing department to department without there record following steps. it creates enhanced penalties officers who falsify their incident reports when it comes to excessive use of force to the few parts of the justice act tim scott highlights in his piece. usa today. back to john bolton in that interview. frank in georgia, did you watch last night? >> no. i missed that interview. but john bolton, i like your show, john bolton is nothing but a war hawk, military extra complex person that eisenhower warned us about these people. the fact that world war i into,
1:21 pm
we've been the world's policeman. we got involved in these in korea, and vietnam, that wasn't a skirmish but these wars in the middle east and all, thanks to the the terry complex, it is times we dream bring our troops home, keep the military strong. make it even stronger if we have to. if you mess with us, it will be the blast last person you're with. he understands that? it's time americans courage to come together this president has been ridiculed by the media democratic party and both of the providers, the media and democratic party, i am sick and tired of hearing this about donald trump is a racist, he's divided this country, he tried to bring us together but because
1:22 pm
the election wasn't what they wanted, for the past -- they are talking about another possible impeachment. this guy, and pelosi, schumer, they've got to go. these people have to vote these people out. we got to come together and make a decision -- here is another issue. people think america one world war ii. russia one world. reporter: one into. they lost 20 million people in world war ii. >> but 15 minutes left. the schedule on capitol hill, the capital and at 11:00 a.m. the senate in at 3:00 p.m. orders and opinions coming up
1:23 pm
