inheritance", and remember, you can't take it with you. do you have a strange inheritance story you would like to share with us? e-mail us. or go to our website, strangeinheritance.com. hello and welcome to justice, i'm just jeanine pirro. why are we sleeping with the enemy? writing them love letters. dining with them in swiss palaces while they chant "death to america", while they dance with the devil as the main sponsor of terrorism and death around the world. why are we so desperate to put a ring on iran's finger? and engage them on the nuclear issue? all the while, spurning our one loyal and true ally, israel. why, mr. president? so young iranians can get jobs?
6:01 pm
>> if iran's leaders can agree to a reasonable deal, it can lead to a better path. the path of greater opportunities for the iranian people. more trade and ties with the world. more foreign investment and jobs, including for young iranians. >> there are those who say your decisions are politically driven. like your decision to get out of iraq. or the decision to empty guantanamo, to trade five taliban leaders for one american who most knew was a desserter and more on that one coming up later in the show. but even your most cynical patriotics can't figure out what possible benefit there is to engage in nuclear discussions with iran. do you really believe, mr. president, that iran is developing centrifuges only for scientistic and medical reasons? is the ayatollah ka mainy challenging you, channeling you,
6:02 pm
and trying to institute ka mainy care in iran? iran is one of the world's largest exporters of oil. they have few energy needs. and if they want nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, why were they hiding one of their facilities and putting it in a bunker 300 feet below ground? behind mountains. making it almost impervious to attack. now, you all know i've been pushing the u.s. to protect its power grid for years. but the iranians bearing at the length of a football field, below ground, to me can mean only one thing. and reports are this year that they will have intercontinental ballistic missile escapable of carrying a nuclear warhead. now i may be a cynic, but i don't believe they need an intercontinental ballistic missile to disperse care pamphlets to the public.
6:03 pm
anby the way, iran is also wrapping uphe seafaring capabilities by building one of the world's largest naval fleets. and the commander of the islamic revolutionary guard said, the americans and our enemies cannot stand up against the islamic system's deter power no matter how hard they try. now the agreement may not even be put in writing. so how are you going to seal the deal? pinky swear? and what are you going do? sue them if they violate the agreement? even the man you trusted enough to appoint as your secretary of defense, leon panetta, said the iranians just can't be trusted. and how can we be sure iran won't put itself in the position of uranium, building a nuclear
6:04 pm
bomb, when they won't even agree to snap inspections? now, mr. president, we say america's goal is to defeat terrorism. to advance democracy and human rights around the world. so why, mr. president, would you insist on dancing with the devil? why isn't our one true ally, israel, or egypt on your dance card? more american blood has been spilled by iran and terrorism it sponsor in the middle east than by any other country. iran says it's within its rights to enrich uranium. that's like saying a mass murderer living next to a day care has the right to buy as many ak-47s as he wants. mr. president, america needs to stop sleeping with the enemy, dancing with the devil, and writing love letters to those who want to kill us.
6:05 pm
this love story isn't going to end the way you think it is. it's time to break off the engagement. and that's my open. tell me what you think on facebook or twitter. and my next guest says that only way it make sure iran doesn't get a nuclear bomb is to bomb them. for u.s. ambassador to the u.n. and fox's contributor john bolton joins me now. good evening ambassador. you want to bomb them, really? >> i rather we weren't in this position but we have followed policies for close to 30 years now that have left us with no other option. the path ahead has only two outcomes. outcome number one, far and away the most likely, iran gets nuclear weapons. whether they sign the deal? geneva or not, outcome number two, somebody, and that means only the united states or
6:06 pm
israel, takes preemtive military action to break their control over the nuclear fuel cycle and key points. it's not going to happen under the obama administration so the spotlight is on israel. but make no mistake, if somebody doesn't act to preempt the iranian progress toward nuclear weapons with be they will have them at a time of their choosing. >> and what about the fact that we're in such a rush to get this thing done, it is almost as if we're worried about the imposition of the economic sanctions against iran. what did we benefit from this? how do we benefit? >> i think the obama administration is very fearful of a reaction in congress, including perhaps even by majority of democrats who realize just how bad this deal is. the german foreign minister who arrived in switzerland today for the last days of negotiation made an important point, he said we've been at this for 12 years. and i remember that because i was in the bush administration when these european negotiations
6:07 pm
began. 12 years of effort to pressure and persuade iran to give up its nuclear weapons program and it hasn't happened. that ought to tell us something. you know, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. 12 years of negotiation and we still don't have a deal with them. >> and during those 12 years, or at least in the beginning of them, they didn't tell us about that facility, which is, you know, 300 feet down and fortified by mountains and bunkers. >> or many other fa sifacilitie. they concealed information from the atomic energy association for decades. moved hundreds of thousands of cubic yards of dirt to avoid traces of activity. they have ruled areas off limits to the iaea and there is no efd right now that we truly know the
6:08 pm
fuel scope of iran's nuclear wep weapons programs or that negotiations in geneva have come up with anything even approximating an acceptable verification system. >> and what about this whole idea that they said they will absolutely not accept these snap inspections and, you know, while the ayatollah chants death to america, are we stupid? >> well, i think the president's operating from a very misguided ideological perspective. he thinks, as he has in so many other areas around the world, that it's american presence, american strength that caused this problem of the iranian nuclear weapons program. and he truly believes he can just persuade the ayatollahs that america is not a threat to them, they will say, we don't need these nuclear weapons anyway. let's give them up and rejoin. that's like looking at the end of a telescope.
6:09 pm
but that's president obama's view. >> it seems like you've got egypt and jordan, who are joining together in military action, then you also have saudi arabia engaging in military actions. and none of them even telling us about it or asking us to join them. is that a signal that they don't trust us either? >> i think it is a reflection that they will act in their own national interest and that they can't count on the united states to do what's necessary. let's be clear, here. the arab states, oil-producing monarchies on the peninsula, jordan, egypt and most others don't want to have nuclear weapons any more than israel does. which is why they don't want to announce it publicly, just as they welcome quietly and in private, pre. they understand the threats.
6:10 pm
they understand this is a deep-seeded long-standing conflict. they hoped the united states would look out for its own interest in the region. but failing that, they will look out for their own. >> all right. ambassador john boldon, thanks so much for being with us this evening. >> thank you, judge. >> now former senior adviceor to former clinton, george h.w. bush, good evening ambassador. without even looking at netanyahu's visit, how is it making the nouk lar deal with iran, the country sworn to destroy israel. >> obviously, i think prime minister netanyahu has deep concerns about the deal that is emerging. one thing that most people didn't seem to pick up in his speech to congress was that he actually moved his position on what would be an acceptable outcome. meaning one that israel could live with. for a long time, he said that iran shouldn't be able to enrich
6:11 pm
at all. that's no longer his position. he said would he certainly prefer it. frankly, i think other states would prefer it. but in netanyahu's case, he is saying effectively, get a deal where they have limited enrichment and try to ensure that the number of centrifuges they have is lower than the ones that are likely to emerge in the deal that's being negotiated now. so there has been a change on his part in terms of an outcome he could live with. he would like to see an outcome where iran has less nuclear infrastructure. less industrial size program, less ability to break out at some point down the road, including the life of the agreement that's being negotiated. >> but what we're hearing is that there is tho -- they will not accept the idea of snap inspections. they've got this, you know, one bunker or this one area that is almost impervious to any kind of assault or attack. and as we go forward, if we get
6:12 pm
to some kind of a deal here, israel is -- it doesn't seem, is the significant interest of the united states. >> well, look, what's driving the administration and the other members of the 5 plus 1 is for diplomatic means, we can blunt the iranian nuclear program, stall the iranian nuclear program and ensure for the next 10 to 15 years that it doesn't advance from where it is today and after that period of time then maybe things will have changed there and we can still sort of threaten if they move towards a weapon at that point. think there is a feeling that that ultimately is not just in our interest but in israel's interest as well. i think the key is, does the agreement prevent the iranians from being able to break out and that puts a premium on the administration of having a verification regime and consequences if we detect them
6:13 pm
cheating that we believe are by the iranians. now the key point you just raised on snap inspections, if the iranians are not accepting inspections that can be surprise inspections, inspections that can be on any facility including revolutionary guard facilities, then it won't really meet the standard that we have the kind of ver if i dhags we need. bear in mind, it has established its measure of success in the agreement, what is acceptable that iran has a one-year breakout time. well you only know if you have one year breakout time if you know what the iranians are doing, when they are doing it. that requires us to go anywhere at any point at any time. >> i don't want to interrupt you but we don't have a lot of time left. so let's assume we find out about it. that it is not a snap inspection, it is a planned inspection, what do we do then? >> well i think again, if we are
6:14 pm
in a position where we can't have inspections on a timely basis then that's a question that raises basic doubts about whether the agreement can meet the standard that the administration is setting for itself. i think we have to have that kind of access and in answer to your question, i have advocated that the administration identify in advance what are the range of different violations and what will be the consequences for each of these that most egregious, iranians should know we will be prepared to use force and that congress should be prepared to authorize force in the agreement of such violation. that does a lot to deter iranians in the first place and address the concern of many, including iranians. >> thank you so much for being with us. >> my pleasure. >> all right. coming up, new details on the b bergdahd deal and what they knew when they knew it app and what

6:19 pm
commanders for an alleged desserter was a good one. with me now, retired u.s. army lieutenant tony shafer. good even ppg whing. when did we know that bergdahl was a deserter? >> in 2010 right after a report was done and submitted, he was changed back to essentially status unknown. but it was very clear that there was a credible report done by credible military investigators, in 2009, that he had deserted his post. that was validate bid a second investigation by general dahl. >> so he is designated deserter, then they attach some other phrase and they take down the claim that he is a deserter. what is the phrase they substituted for that?
6:20 pm
>> essentially status unknown is the -- is basically we don't know what his status is. and there is not a status like that within the military -- it didn't exist. >> all right. it sounds to me and may be the prosecutor in me that there's a narrative going on here. the pentagon, he can't be deserted, take that down. and put up something that can't be referred to because it isn't in military justice. but colonel, i want to ask you this -- >> sure. >>. enemy combatants are not prisoners of war, right? >> they are equivalent -- they are treated as if they are prisoners of war under the geneva convention. while they are not, they could be killed as noncombatants because they do not within the law of the land warfare. we have closen to treat them like prisoners of war. >> so they can be held until the termination of hostility. >> correct. absolutely. >> so the president didn't have to let those five go. now we find out this week that three of the five want to get
6:21 pm
back to old business. >> right. >> killing americans and anybody else that they hate. >> right. >> now if the condition of this prisoner swap that the one bergda bergdahl dessert bergdahl deserter, shouldn't we demand return of those -- of at least three who violated the conditions from qatar? >> judge, two of those are wanted by the world court. they should be turned over to the world court, period. but those who violated what i call parole, they should be revoked and taken back to guantanamo. president obama announced days ago we are extending our combat time in afghanistan. which means we have a war there, people are shooting, people are dying and we are still in contact with the enemy, the very enemy he is about to release back to the battlefield. >> what about the fact that we
6:22 pm
decided that bowe bergdahl was worth trading these five? and are there other prisoners around the world or in that area that we could have traded for? >> well, it is more like there are other options, which is equally viable and o probably more likely to have less political consequences that are available to the president. let me be very clear on this. the they are get nothing cooperation by the white house and in december of 2013, i was briefed, and i can't go on with all of the detalils because it was partly classified. but the president chose the return option. i spoke vehemently at the time, it was a mistake. no one seemed to listen. taen was one of those things where the president decided to do something which i think have you alluded to. i think a political decision on trying to clear people out of gitmo rather than try doing what was best for the nation. bowe bergdahl was not worth the trade of five five-star generals
6:23 pm
of the adversary, period. >> he said we tried to get him and he moved or intelligence wasn't good. he is always blaming the intelligence community. but are there other ways we might have gotten bergdahl back without sending these five taliban commanders? >> absolutely. when we talked about this last may, there were three other viable openings, one i was asked to provide advice to. and i can't say much more than that at this time, but it was clear that these options would not have required any taliban to have been returned. i think bergdahl would have ended up back under the radar without all of the drama that president brought on it, and i think a better outcome for all. at this point, i think bergdahl has become a pawn in a much larger game. and i think the consequences are more severe for him in this option rather than another option the president could have picked. >> quickly before we go, the "new york times" says that there's no need to prosecute
6:24 pm
sergeant bowe bergdahl. what do you think of that? i mean, i'm stunned. it is like saying, you know what, if somebody gets shot robbing a bank, no sense prosecuting him because he suffered enough. >> this is the most fundamental requirement of the soldier. when you're in combat, you do your duty. people die. people have been killed by general washington for deserting their post. this goes back to the beginning of the continental army. this is the most sacred requirement of your doubt duty. you do not shirk your duty. and in article 99, miss chief before the enemy, there is evidence he cooperated with the enemy. that's worse. that could be a life sentence. this is no light matter. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> joining me now, evan buto, who was one of bowe bergdahl's platoon mates and platoon leader at the time. thank you, evan, for being with us. i referenced the "new york
6:25 pm
times" where they do a whole opinion piece on why bowe bergdahl shouldn't be prosecuted because there is no point. it will deprive a traumatized veteran of benefits, including medical care. what do you say? >> i say there's consequences for your actions. everybody knows when you do something bad, there's a consequence to that. it starts when you're a child and you steal a cookie out of the cookie jar and you get a spanking or a time-out. there is consequences for your access and military justice system that is set up to prosecute what happened. whether you get a dui or whether you desert the army. there are consequences and it happens everyday in the military. people get in trouble. >> evan, let me ask you about what he is alleging. you believe that he voluntarily left the base and there's reports that he sent his clothes home and that he told his family
6:26 pm
he hates america. did you ever hear anything like this from bowe bergdahl? >> i heard that he was frustrated with the mission. and what we were doing in afghanistan. but i didn't think too much of it. we all have our frustrations with the army, with the mission. but the point is, you signed on the line. you signed on the line to serve your country, to protect america, to guard freedom and the american way of life. and that's what you do. whether you agree with the subtle nuances of the mission or not. you signed on the line to do it. and he had complaints just like many of us had complaints. >> okay. do you believe that he was tortured? >> i don't think it is fair for me to say whether he was or not. i wasn't there to see it. but if he was, he put himself in that situation. he did not have to desert. and by him deserting, that's the position he put himself in.
6:27 pm
if that happened, while i don't feel that anyone should be tortured and i feel bad for him in that aspect, it does not mean that he should not be further punished. >> all right. after he deserted, apparently and one of your -- one of the men serving with you said that you guys were forced to sign a nondisclosure agreement, mischaracterizing our service. and that that hadn't been requested in other missions and only requested by the administration bowe bergdahl deserted. >> i do not remember signing a nondisclosure agreement. i know there's been a lot of talk about that. i don't know if it's because it's been so long, but i did provide a sworn statement, which i know was included in the 2014 investigation. >> okay, you don't remember, but evan, you don't remember, but one of your platoonmates said we
6:28 pm
were forced to sign a nondisclosure in afghanistan saying we wouldn't talk about it, but they are still denying that we did and i didn't have to sign for other missions. finally, let me ask you there, evan. what should happen to bowe bergdahl now? >> i believe that he needs go to trial. i hope that he does not plea out to something lesser. i hope they don't allow him to plea out to something lesser. i think we all deserve to hear from him what happened. why he did what he did. and there's so much controversy surrounding beowe at this point yet we haven't heard from him. i think the american people deserve to know. and he needs to get punished for the things he did. he put everybody's lives in danger and soldiers died as a result of his actions and he needs to answer for that and he needs to be punished. >> all right, evan buwtoe, thanks so much for your service and thanks for being with us.
6:29 pm
>> thank for having me. >> coming up, hillary clinton server wiped clean and what this means for the house committee investigating benghazi and forever finding out the truth. that's next. sir, we're going to need you on the runway later don't let a severe cold hold you back. get theraflu. it has the power of three medicines to take on your worst pain and fever, cough and nasal congestion. theraflu breaks you free from your toughest cold and flu symptoms. so you never miss a day. theraflu. serious power.

6:35 pm
it goes on. this will be a long campaign. >> all of these things coming out the last few weeks, it all goes back to the same issue. the issue you of her trying to hide and keep things away from public view. whether it is the whole idea of the private server and then deciding whether she will erase what she thinks is personal. then the idea of her actually raising funds from countries while she was secretary of state when she agreed not to do that. she took up to $25 million from saudi arabia. is this woman all about money? >> well, look, this is all going to be played out, it is being played out in public, the american people will be the jury on all of these issues and more, on all these candidates. you know, the issue is you're
6:36 pm
supposed to preserve, they are printed out and the state department has them. >> you don't know that. she is telling you that. >> we don't know what -- we have no right -- we have no right to personal communication. i don't have any right to yours. we don't have right to the personal communications of our public officials. >> of course you don't. nobody is saying that, joe. but what she is doing is communicating with her assistants, including abudan who has special employment, which is another issue. so her lawyer, her assistant there, everybody is on personal e-mail, so that none of this is captured. >> i don't think that there was anything -- personal e-mail is personal e-mail. >> so the lawyer for the state department, she didn't discuss business with her this is. >> i don't think the -- look, i
6:37 pm
think that where do you go? with you want her twitter dms to each other too -- >> i couldn't care less about that, joe. >> well, that's where they would communicate if we didn't care about it. this is the whole point. at some level, the 55,000 government-related e-mails that she turned over, you either believe that that's it, are that she is hiding them. if she is hiding them, why aren't they direct messaging each other instead of e-mail. why on the phone instead of in writing. >> that's like saying to a bank robber, you could have robbed this bank instead of another bank. let me ask you another question. now we've got hillary clinton for this hillary, bill and chelsea foundation is continuing to accept funds from foreign governments. a lot of that money questionable. nigerian donor and people questioning whether or not the

divorce. and he listened. he was a great listener. but i guess we went out for a few months and then he would be in and out of town. finally in august he -- we had a -- he came over and made me very nervous. >> how and why? >> well, my son answered the door, my 19-year-old, going to smu, he opened the door. and met him. and bob came in and set down. and i came in and the phone rang. so i went back and answered the phone, and went back and bob had my purse and he was standing up. he was holding my purse and rummaging through it. and i said, bob, what are you doing. >> what did he say? >> he just dropped the purse on
6:46 pm
the floor. and he said, oh, i was just moving your purse. so right then, i knew that was it. i wasn't going to see him again. >> very quickly, very quickly, linda. the whole idea of something on the floor, talk to me about that. >> about him dropping it? oh, about the concrete floor? >> yes. >> yeah. at his apartment, i was going to go to the rest room that was over by the spare bedroom and i got to the door and he said, oh, i forgot, it's dirty. you need to go to the rest room in my bedroom. so i turninged around and saw the floor, a concrete floor, and i saw a saw on a wooden sand and an electric saw. and so he said right away, he said, they are converting the
6:47 pm
apartments into condos. >> raall right. i have to wrap up quickly. but in addition to the saw, i understand there were also guns in his car back then also? >> yes. there were guns in his car and he didn't bother to tell us my son was in the back seat and we were already traveling down the road and he said, oh, i forgot, i've got two guns back there. and you know, i start in on him, why are you just now saying that and you shouldn't carry that, it's so dangerous. >> all right. linda, thank you so much for being with us tonight. now with us defense attorney and fox's legal analyst, all right, so i go to new orleans this week. >> almost in trouble. on the stand, judge. not where you want to be. >> so i walk in and i have covered many cases like casey anthony and zimmerman and drew
6:48 pm
peterson, all of that p.m. so i sit down and within a minute the defense attorney sees me -- >> rightly so. i would have done the same thing. >> and the d.a. says, i'm not calling her. he said, i'm calling her. so i have to go out of the courtroom, get lawyers. i come back in and say, hey, judge, he has to serve me and i have a first amendment right to be here. what do you think of that? >> his right to call you as a witness trumps your first amendment right. >> okay. >> and if you were involved then that's a big word right now but you were heavily involved with this case. >> i opened it in 2000. >> exactly. he is in a bit after reach but i erred on the side of -- i was there for fox. >> doesn't matter. you could have been there as a courtroom artist. if you are a possibly a witness with evidence that is admissible, he did the right thing, defense attorney, by
6:49 pm
asking you to be removed. if the judge says no, then he has an appellate issue -- >> the guy sees red when he sees me. and this guy admitted, if you watch, this they created a myth in making me a mythical character basically chasing robert durst out of new york and that's why he had to chop up a body. >> well, i did practice law when you were the d.a. of westchester and you were of mythical proportion to us lowly lawyers. lo, bottom line is, a lawyer has to operate ethically. if you know your client is taking the stand and lie, you just put him on the stand and say, is this a mistake you want to make -- >> we basically lied, made up that she chased and meade made up that he didn't go back -- we knew he was back in the new york and we knew -- >> he may have used the word myth. he should have used theory. we had our own theory. >> should he be brought up
6:50 pm
before the grievance committee? >> well, if he knew he was telling a lie, then yes. that's an issue. >> perjury if his client is telling lies -- >> correct. you are not allowed to to help your client lie under oath. and you're not supposed to propagate a fraud. you're supposed to play by the rules. that doesn't mean ewe can't disagree with the prosecutor's theory and come up with your own theory. because a lot of times prosecutors are absolutely sure but they are wrong. >> as a d.a. sometimes i brought charges and sometimes i didn't. >> that's it -- >> let me ask you, the hot mic thing at the end of the jinx. >> absolutely admissible. >> i knew you were a smart lawyer. >> statements don't come into evidence when the government is involved and law enforcement is involved and some form of duress. was this a voluntary statement?
6:51 pm
did they know what was going on? he put himself in the environment and his lawyers are involved in it. those are risks you assume. >> he wasn't in custody. he wasn't -- >> there's no law enforcement. >> it was spontaneous. >> it would be different if in the ear of the producers there is a cop or an fbi agent saying ask him this and get him to say that. but there is -- >> there is no law enforcement. you're a good attorney. >> that's what my mom tells me. >> mom, you're right. thanks for being with us tonight. coming up the last chance to vote. what would you trade for bowe bergdahl?
