john bolton. i could. ry there's no question on the smarts i've ever met was never really able to convince him that he wasn't the president. and i'll give you a specific example. we were in osaka, japan, and for a variety of reasons we going at the last minute to the john was against that decision demilitarized zone between the dmz to north south korea on 6 hours notice and john was against that decision and was was was vehement as to and laid out various reasons why he thought this is a bad decision that the president saidohn. we're going and john left. john went to instead. you can't do that. right. that's that's when you knew it was time for john to go, because john was you member of this team, you have to there's only room for one ego in that room. and it's the to it has to be enough for you to recognize you're in the oval office having your argument on something. and if the president agrees with you, yay for you. pre■sside■nt doesn't agree with you, you're not the president. and managing that was real.

jordan (voiceover): this is john bolton, the most republican of republicans. he served under three republican presidents, including trump, saw the invasion of iraq, and did some light geopolitical meddling. as somebody who has helped plan coup d'etat, it takes a lot of work. imagine ronald reagan is caught in amber in 1988. i'm using jurassic park technology. he wakes up now unthawed. what does he think of the modern gop? well, certainly, the trump wing of it, he would be appalled by. it's just antithetical, not just to the philosophical beliefs of ronald reagan, but to the positive attitude about america and its prospects. so reagan wakes up and he's shocked? right. and he's also like, what is this internet thing? maybe we should send steven seagal over there to kick putin's ass. wait a minute, steven seagal already lives there. this is all too confusing. let's just go back to ignoring aids. i think he'd be stunned that the republican party had anything to do with donald trump. what is trump's infatuation with putin? well, i think he has a fascination with au

ambassador john bolton also gave a reaction to the death.on x that raisi's death does not mean an end to the war with israel. he wrote why it might make it more aggressive. amb. bolton: the death of right ec is a potentially catastrophic blow to the rule of the ayatollahs, not because of the power of the president, but because right ec -- raisi was being groomed as a successor to the supreme leader khamenei. there have only been two supreme leader's since 1979. there was no constitutional process there. the loss of raisi frozen monkeywrench into their plan and could be the beginning of fracturing at the top of the regime, which could lead to the overthrow of the molas entirely. the reaction is to point attention elsewhere, and the iranian regime could do that by stepping up attacks on israel and other allies through those proxies. sumi: i ran has -- iran has indicated they will hold elections next month. what can you expect from the next president? amb. bolton: i don't think the guardian council will allow any candidates who do not adhere to

i think there are real issues on appeal here. >> all right ambassador john bolton.hanks so much for being here. i appreciate your time, sir. granted. don't we are learning new details this morning about the murder of an actor on general hospital, his his coworker says she held him in her arms as he does russia, were trying to spy on us. >> we were spying on them i'm sally franklin this is a war. >> but secret was secrets and spies, a nuclear game premieres sunday at ten on cnn. >> guin's is quiet luxury at disruptive prices because uniform things should be for everyone with quinn's. you can get more summer essentials more high-quality materials and more of life's finer things because quality should never be a luxury good $20 off your first purchase at quince quince.com? >> this is a future go daddy arrow creates a logo website, even social posts in minutes ai, ai who wants to come see the future, get your business online in minutes with go daddy arrow my grimy film on your teeth, dr. g actually the buildup of plaque bacteria which can cause cavities. >> most toothpa

it's about the equal application of the law here tonight did discuss john bolton, the former nationality adviser under president donald trump, also the former us ambassador to the united nations, ambassador bolton first, let me get your reaction to what we heard from president biden. >> he had a pretty blunt rebuke of what we just heard there from the chief prosecutor at the icc de this idea that they are going to seek these warrants for both the leaders of hamas, but also the israeli prime minister and the defense minister well biden is half, right. what's really illegitimate here is the international criminal court itself. it's a fantasy, it's a piece of government not a whole government, a piece of government floating around in the international ether unchecked by executive or legislative power, utterly unable to enforce its judgments and acting in a way that's predictably irresponsible for many years, people have referred to israel as the canary in the coal mine on behalf of the united states. this is another example because what this rogue prosecutor is utterly unaccountable cour

in fact, i think as john bolton said, the folks what i would call the axis of aggressive there's those folks in russia, tehran, and beijing are probably

. >> john bolton. mr. card: yeah, john bolton. condoleezza rice. all very competent people. they are confident and competent. jennifer: do you have a memory of having to check someone? mr. card: many times. >> you should have dealt with the cold and broke. [laughter] mr. card: the challenge though, is most people agree to advise the president and want their view to be the accepted view. if you have a dominant personality, you kind of crowd out some other meeker person in the room who is just as competent. i would police that, and maybe during reading, i would say, sally really has more that she would like to say. what do you think, sally? or i would say, after the meeting to the president, you know, so-and-so dominated the discussion. i know that jim had a lot more to say. you might want to call jim and see what he had to say. those were sensitive things to do, because you don't want to eliminate good counsel. you want to invite it. but you want to make sure the president is making the decision rather than being bullied into the decision, or think that the decision is truly

thank you very much joining us now, donald trump's former national security adviser, john bolton, these also the former us ambassador to the un ambassador. thanks for joining us so as you just heard a second flag related to the january 6 events was flown outside. another one of justice, samuel alito foams. does this in your mind raised concerns about whether he can impartially serve on the us supreme court absolutely not. >> i think it is outrageous outrageous and unacceptable for people to take a flag from the american revolution and say that because some january 6 protesters fluid that it's now unacceptable to fly that flag. and i'd like to hear a democratic party politician say that expressly you know, the january 6 people flew a lot of flags. the gadsden flag don't tread on me. they don't have the right or the ability to expropriate a patriotic symbol of the united states and then have everybody else say it belongs to them and condemn sam alito or anybody else for flying that flag. i think what's unacceptable? is this rush to find some reason to criticize alito you know, i first hea

but then he brought john bolton into rhe [crowd booing] he put a swamp creature in charge of draininge swamp. then two weeks ago, he gave a bigr huto speaker johnson and president biden and they agreed to send $64 billion more over to ukraine. ro wouldn't you rather that 64 billion dollars be spent here in the united states? [cheers and applause] don't we need that country, don't weoney here in our country to improve our schools? to improve our health care system? to figure out ways to end this mental health epidemic which de? last year we had the highest suicide rate in our history. we have the highest cancer rate ur history. the highest heart disease rate. it's not justse or neurological disorders afflicting our kids. on in my consideration, one in eve4kids it's not just the obesity it's not just the food allergies. th disease.diabetes that is debg this generation. it is all of these other entries making our kids and our people sicker and sicke and sicker. have you ever had president trump talk about how he's going to end the chronic disease epidemic? no. don't you want a president

john bolton, the former trump national security adviser talking to my colleague wolf blitzer last night about the pine tree flag and saying it's not a big deal. >> i think it is outrageous outrageous, and unacceptable for people to take a flag from the american revolution and say that because some january 6 protesters fluid that it's now unacceptable to fly that flag. and i'd like to hear a democratic party politician say that expressly all right, our panelists here, cnn legal analyst, former federal prosecutor elliot williams. >> it's got janning's former special assistant to president george w bush and cnn senior political analyst mark preston, elliott. i want to start with you. i want we'll get to the politics in a second in terms of why john bolton wants to see democratic politician saying this kind of thing. >> but the issue is, is that justice samuel alito isn't accountable to anybody. >> he's a supreme court justice who is supposed to be impartial shot in the face of the law. >> what our to the extent there are rules about this kind of thing. >> i mean, what is he supposed to be

views on the so-called. uh this is the axis of evil, the axis of evil, that is china, russia, iran, john boltontly said that it is the withdrawal of the united states from nato, that may be trump's priority goal in his second term, if trump succeeds in being re-elected as the president of the united states and this could be a catastrophe for the whole world, i think that it is absolutely possible and... moreover, it is so to speak, well, at the level of such signals from many, yes, there are such people from the environment, and directly trump himself, well, so to speak , hints at this, and what is here for ukraine, well, it is difficult to say, yes, here i think that a lot will... depend on the agenda that will be formed by this time. mr. dmytro, thank you for the conversation, dmytro levoch, an international political scientist, was in touch with us, we are going to take a short break, then we will continue and talk about the damage that the russian war caused to our ecology. stay with us. when you sleep on an uneven surface, the spine is in the wrong position, because you can't... feel energ

we need a victory here. you know, one very odious american politician, well known to you and me, john boltonhow in connection with the ukrainian expressed his plot when criticizing biden, saying that russia should simply be put under pressure, and not deal with, as he put it, the welsanian chimeras of democracy and authoritarianism, he meant president woodrow wilson, who developed all sorts of theories like this, we definitely won’t re-educate such people. but maybe we can somehow convince through a demonstration of force, because nothing else is simply visible, i would really like to convince, but the only way to convince, unfortunately, is through a demonstration of force, it was a big game, see you tomorrow on the air. hello, my name is still dmitry bak, we, of course, have the next episode of a literary podcast: let them not talk, let them read, but today one could say, let them watch, because these days. on channel one, the first episodes of the new season, the most famous, most popular series, which is called according to the laws of war, have begun, its seventh season has begun, which

system itself that in the case of donald trump in this prosecution is just not evident ambassador john bolton, great to have you here onset. >> thanks. thank you. >> this trial, of course, centers around a hush money payment that was made to stormy daniel's. my next source onset as her attorney russian. for trying to, spy on us we were spying on them. >> i'm sorry, frank this is a the secret was secrets and spies, a nuclear game. premier sunday at ten on cnn are the facts. susie here is shopping for a used car, but she doesn't know that nearly half of them have been in an accident and interests. the car facts.com shows how accidents impact price so she doesn't have to overpay on shot the y'all new kotb.com my daughter is mla she is 19 months old she is a little ray of sunshine one of the happiest babies are probably ever made children with down syndrome typically have a higher risk for developing acute myeloid leukemia or just looking in general here we are st. jude children's research hospital works day after day to find coors and save the lives of children with cancer in other life threaten

because, well, you know, if we talk about the fact that we've had john bolton, who's a former us national security advisor, the cool guy, c, c, body illegitimate. to let this is back in 2018. i'm as you say, that didn't stop washington supporting you. i see, see, when a warrant was issued for like may i put in the russian president in 2023. so why now in washington is viewed, does the court know have quite the ability in some cases and then it does in others, it seems as if washington doesn't know where to position itself in regards to the i c. c. when there is what i was actually starting to say is that united states think that they're above law, there is an explanation of others. you go to call. so i see i see this. i do think that nobody should awesome any t, y, whatever, you know, course decided not to mission, decide on anybody else should be implemented. and i think this is extremely hypocritical. it is the or laura and to me it is i to the races. i did you that americans are above the so and as far as the john gordon. uh, he's a statement and what he has been saying, we're john mor

but some of them are in the people and got people in our government phase different things the john bolton, for example. we can't just say all people say crazy things. if you're the, if you're the architect inform policy that's different. i'm telling people in the cabinet or thing, the stuff. yeah, you have to show that it's had an actual impact on the way that the war is being executed. and what i did earlier i, i showed all the different, the refugee camps, the hospitals, the indiscriminate strikes that are killing dozens of people. i'm just going to give you an example here. a retired major general uh your uh, island. uh, also former head of national security council and the current advisor to the defense of ministers is this isn't just some retired guy was just talking from his chair. he clearly stated on november 19th that the whole guys and civilian population was a legitimate target, and that quote, severe epidemics in the south of the guys district will bring victory closer. so even the epidemics and then in the, in the south, are seen as evidence of defeating the, quote unquote in

president biden -- president trump did say that he was going to end the war machine but then he brought john boltonrun the nsa. [booing] he put a swamp preacher in talk -- inch -- creature in charge of draining the swamp. and then two weeks ago he give a -- he gave a big bear hug to speaker johnson and president johnson and they agreed to send more money over to ukraine. [booing] wouldn't you rather that $64 billion he spent here in the united states? [cheering] don't we need that money here in our country to improve our schools? to improve our health care system? to figure out ways to end this mental health epidemic that is destroying our children, last year with the highest suicide rate in our history? the highest cancer rate in our history? the highest heart disease rate? it is not just chronic disease or neurological disorders, the autism has gone from one to 10,000 in my generation and 70-year-old man today, one in every 22 boys. one in every 34 kids. it is not just the obesity epidemic or the allergy is, the food allergies, the autoimmune diseases. diabetes that are devastating this generatio

if you read john bolton's memoir. th h of the us, pulling out of nato on more than one occasion.he money he's and the fact was doing such and shows. and as we know, every administration, republican or democrat to that point, actually tried push europe. and he it to the brink to get them to move. but let's go, mm hmm. nord stream. you have to mention nord becse e munich speech, putin's sheven m. yes, crimea. so so crimea is 2014. 9cions. then finally they come up with some modest sanctions i don't think made a whole lot of difference. 2015 is the yeatehe annexes crimea. merkel negotiates the nord stream two pipeline. it routes around ukraine does deprive the ukrainians of the they were getting from the pipeline and she declares that russia is reliable supplier andstatement out there. so whatsaying is yeah he's all this bad stufft going's in his and that modified,willing to go do n russia. and, living in germany for a couple of months at the end last yearthe beginnii was getting the book finished. i r the times. and one of the remarkable things is i think a good number of back. at

it was john bolton today, trump's former nsa advisor who said the republican party now has one last chance to change course and not nominate a convicted felon for president. like to me those are stronger fighting words than we're seeing from democrats. today we saw huge wall street big league bill acumen starts to get closer and closer to endorsing trump. why aren't people saying to him you are the guy out there who looked to college protesters and said i would hire a college protester at my multibillion dollar hedge fund. why isn't a democrat saying to him, well, would you hire a convicted felon? where's the street fighting is the question. >> i don't know people care he -- in general the public isn't waiting for that, but i get the street fighter thing, and i also think what they did with de niro this week was an effort to do that. when i first saw they were doing that i thought that's a little weird. i don't know what you guys thought. but when they actually did it, i thought they're injecting themselves into the story. i think there's a balance. >> i think there's a little bit of disti

former national security adviser and colonel sanders' brother who went to kentucky fried law school, john bolton. in an upcoming book, bolton predicts that if trump is elected, "nato would be in real jeopardy. i think he would try to get out." and you know he wouldn't do it to their face. he would just send nato one of those pizza hut break-up pizzas. this is such a shocking idea that president biden took a break from succumbing to entropy to express his opinion. >> it's dumb. it's shameful. it's dangerous. it's un-american. >> stephen: strong words, joe. and, coincidentally, trump's new campaign slogan. oh, the ratings are in from the super bowl, and it was super! in fact, super bowl lviii was the most-watched program ever. it's no surprise. [cheering] no surprise. you had your football fans plus all the folks tuning in to catch a glimpse of a global mega-star, tracker. tracker: your glasses were on top of your head the whole time. the game was watched by 123.4 million average viewers. and who knows how many really hot ones. oh, today is mardi gras! today is mardi gras! my friends. happy mardi

i pointed out the fact that john bolton was being limited by donald trump. she took this long pause. she understood that what she said was inherently contradictory and looked at me and said, i don't care. you realize we were arguing over these politics. but it was not the politics. it was an identity thing for her. >> the way you do this work, it does remind us of the civic decay. you almost get the feeling it would be like being on the football field. and saying to the other team in a time-out. you should play on this side. you know your team sucks. that doesn't work. right? but, civic debates not supposed to be that way. it is more important than a game that you just stay with one team forever. >> that is how it is happening out there. this is about consumerism. and that is how politics are seen. we are buying into this. this is our team. it feels like an of the used comparison. feels like college football. like we are out there tailgating. that's what it is. i'm a michigan football fan. i have all the hats. i defend michigan football. when i talk to peopl

well, they've been horrifie john bolton is one of them. mark milley. yeah.ut there and vigorously campaigning for joe biden. mae will. i hope so. and i don't know if they have much a constituency to bring along, too. that's that's a great point, actually, just interject. but if of you watched anthony christiane amanpour last night, that's maybe you know, we watched the same program. yes. and you know, he was very vocal about how campaigning against donald trump. and butr following and what voe th g to ■move. i'm not sure. so it's a good point but i right.did have a ques. i thought you were going to share those. fine. going. but and i was a little bit late, so you mayt this. you talked about data journalism and fivethirtyeight. i at fivethirtyeight, occasionally, seems me it's just a list of weighted polls. is there something else involved? nate silver, who was the founder of fivethirtyeight, has has moved on from from 538. okay. now is that abc news that owns fivethirtyeighso the so the ownership has changed and the management has ced. so it's a defensive te

i pointed out that john bolton was limited by donald trump and she said -- she took a long pause.erstood what she said was contradictory and she said, i don't care. you realize it was smoke and mirrors. we were arguing over details, but she didn't care. it was an identity thing for her. >> that's why i think the way you do this work, it does remind us of the civic decay. it would be like being on the football field and saying to the other team, you should play on this side. your team sucks. that doesn't work, right? >> uh-huh. >> civic debate's not supposed to be that way. it's more important than a game that you just stay with one team forever. >> that's not happening, you're right. we're buying this. we're buying into this. this is our team. it feels like college football. feels like we're out there tailgating. that's what it is. i'm a michigan football fan. i have the hat. i support it. i defend michigan football until the day i die. at trump rallies, that's how they imagine it. they don't see government as something that's useful or they've seen a lot of good or they can't art

if you read john bolton's memoir. they had to talk him out of the us, pulling out of nato on more than one occasion. well, i think the part was because of the money he's and the fact that the united states was doing such and shows. and as we know, every administration, republican or democrat to that point, actually tried push europe. and he it to the brink to really get them to move. but let's go, angela merkel. mm hmm. nord stream. you have to mention nord stream two, because you mentioned the munich speech, putin's speech you even made about. yes, crimea. so so crimea is 2014. okay. we don't do sanctions. then finally they come up with some modest sanctions that i don't think made a whole lot of difference. 2015 is the year after he annexes crimea. angela merkel negotiates the nord stream two pipeline. it routes around ukraine does deprive the ukrainians of the they were getting from the original stream pipeline and she declares that russia is reliable supplier and it's a remarkable statement out there now. so what

if you read john bolton's memoir, they had to talk him out of the u.s.ling out of nato on more than one occasion. paula: i think the part was because of the moneys and the fact that the united states was doing a large -- and as we know, every administration, republican and democrat up to that point, had tried to push europe, and he got them to the brink to move. let's move along. angela merkel. nordstream, you have to mention it nordstream too. you mentioned the munich speech, the putin speech. david: crimea. so, crimea is 2014 ok. we don't do sanctions and finally they come up with modest sanctions that i don't think made a lot of difference. 2015. the year after he annexes crimea, angela merkel negotiates the nord stream 2 pipeline, it routes around ukraine, thus depriving the ukrainians of the revenue they were getting from the original nordstream pipeline. and she declares that russia is a reliable supplier. it is a remarkable statement out there now, which is essentially saying is, "yeah, he has done all of this bad stuff, but he is not going to cut

was john bolton today, trumps former nsa adviser who said, today's verdict is a fire bell in the night, the republican party now has one last chance to change course, and not nominate a convicted felon for president. to me, those are stronger fighting words then we are seeing from democrats. today, we saw a huge wall street bigwig, bill ackman, start to get closer and closer to endorsing trump. why aren't people saying to him, you are the guy out there who looked to college protesters and said, i would hire a college protester at my multibillion-dollar hedge fund. why isn't a democrat saying to him, would you hire a convicted felon? where's the streetfighting is the question? >> bill ackman does not rule the country. i don't think people care, in general, like the public isn't waiting for that. but i get the streetfighter thing and i also think that what they did with de niro this week was an effort to do that. and i first saw that they were doing that i thought, that is a little weird. i don't know what you guys thought, that is like a weird kitschy thing. but then when they actually

but former national security adviser john bolton had a fiery response to critics of alito and i want that. >> i think it is outrageous, outrageous and unacceptable for people to take a flag from the american revolution and say that because some january 6th protesters flew it that it's now unacceptable to fly that flag, and i'd like to hear a democratic party politician say that expressly. >> carlos, do you agree at all? is this much ado about nothing? >> look, chris, i think the irony here is that for conservatives, the ideal supreme court justice, the ideal judge is someone who soberly interprets the law. someone who is not an activist. someone who is simply taking the letter of the law and applying it to modern day questions, and what we have seen both from justice alito and justice thomas in recent years is a kind of activism, right? their opinions have been very aggressive, very pointed, and then also there's all this extracurricular behavior that raises questions. so look, i don't think that's very hard to reach any strong conclusions from any of this, but certainly it injects d

well, they've been horrified and john bolton is one of them. mark milley. yeah.is a it's a not an insignia accent list, but i don't see folks going out there an vigorously campaigning for joe biden. maybe they will. i hope so. and i don't know if they■g■eave much a constituency to bring along, too. that's that's a great point, actually, just to not to interject. but if of you watched anthony scaramucci was on with christiane amanpour last night, that's maybe you know, we watched the same program. yes. and you know, he was very vocal about how they're going to be out in the fall andrump. and but your of you know, what's the following and what votes are they going to move. i'm not sure. so it's a good point but i really did have a question. oh, right. i thought you were going to share those. fine. i mean. oh, i can keep going. but and i was a little bit late, so you may have already talked abouto you talked about data journalism and fivethirtyeight. i at fivethirtyeight, of weighted polls.ems me it's is there something else involved? nate silver, who was the founde
