ambassador bolton, thank you, sir. ambassador bolton rejoin us in a moment. to rejoin us in a moment, when we talk about the situation in syria. we would like to go to the campaign trail where we are waiting for governor romney to hold a town hall meeting in bowling green, ohio. ohio is a key battleground states up for grabs in november. mitt romney finishing up a rally yesterday in pennsylvania. he went after president obama's you did not build that comment about the role of government and business creation. the governor called that comment insulting to every entrepreneur, every innovator in america. mr. mitt romney expected to keep up that line of attack today. you can watch this event at fox news.com. that is streaming live now. while we wait for those remarks, bill hemmer, host of "america's newsroom" just returned from talking to voters in mexico, how are you doing? >> we have been canvassing the country come as you know, trying to find critical areas of the country to tell a larger story about what is happening in america. there is so much talk about jo

and john bolton, who wants to be secretary of state. imagine a secretary of state of this country who engages in this kind of witch-hunting. >> i think somebody should ask mitt romney whether he agrees with john bolton that these are legitimate questions. one of the things that was fascinating was there was this moment when it seemed as if finally michele bachmann and her ilk were going to be marginalized in the republican party. we had this very rare outbreak of republican decency. and there has been such a huge pushback. the tea party has come out in support of michele bachmann, the religious right, the religious research council came without with a statement of support. talk radio has rallied around her. and these are really important forces in the republican party. and eric cantor knows that. so his statement of support for her today i think is a sign that, you know, that unfortunately the john mccains and the eric boehners who are trying to kind of marginalize this kind of thing are not going to be successful. >> you speak well and

ultimately be a political motive and the fact that you have not just rudy giuliani or you know john bolton who every other week is calling for military action against iran but you also have folks in other side of the aisle you have howard dean and ed rendell you know democrats some of them are you know supposedly progressive also advocating for this group and the reason that they're advocating for them there are many different sort of motivating factors for some it's to ratchet up pressure military pressure on iran and to ratchet up the possibility that there will be military action in a potential war with iraq for other folks it's simply a matter of they have been duped by this organization into believing that it's a legitimately democratic group when the reality is it's not a democratic organization it's a cult. that has you know a base in iraq where its members are actually held hostage it has no support within iran and it has been cited as conducting numerous human rights abuses against its own supporters and then you have a group who's just in it for the money and i think that those f

john bolton is going to have a huge role. he gets floated as national security adviser or even secretary of state which i think is preposterous. and that whole phrase, the american century, goes back to the project for a new american century. which was the blueprint for the bush foreign policy and for the war with iraq. so we've got those same people again. it's something like 70% of his named foreign policy advisers come from the bush/cheney regime. >> the smartest in that crowd intellectually is bill kristol and he's been holding back. maybe there's a bit of a fear if you show too much face in this they'll actually see you coming. >> yeah. i mean, the problem is that most of america is exhausting by war. and that's why it rarely comes up. it didn't come up much in the midterms. it won't come up much in this presidential cycle because we are just exhausted by it. and part of that exhaustion is a wanting to turn away. part of it is that the people who fight the wars for america are not necessarily -- that's the different 1%.

sunday about this time is fox news contributor and former ambassador to the united nations: john bolton. ambassador, good morning. >> good morning, eric. >> eric: we always discuss iran, usually every sunday and now the escalations are continuing. can they close the strait of hormuz? >> well i think they could close it for a very short period of time. but, our military has gained -- gamed this out over the years and feel confident they could reopen it in a short period of time and are moving resources to the region, right now, and in preparation for a possible closure. but i think, really what is going on here is that iran is sabre-rattling for a couple of purposes. and that includes the reports we have seen about missile testing and the like and are trying to ratchet up the international price of oil by making it looks like there is risk to the strait of hormuz and they are saying, basically, to the united states and europeans, that they are not going to be intimidated by economic sanctions or threats to their nuclear weapons program, and i think this is key, they are now beginning to

president john bolton will be here. he was asked to sign the petition to the white house. tell us why he declined. that is upcoming. >>> violence taking hold of a u.s. city usually the home of disneyland. these days anaheim, california, looks like los angeles in 1992 when riots gripped the city for days. over the past four straight nights protesters have taken to the streets in anaheim battling police with rocks, kicking squad cars, set being fires, smashing windows and on it goes. the most recent night of violence landed dozens of people in jail. police using bean bag round and pepper balls to subdue crowds outraged over a pair of deadly police shootings this past weekend. and today, for the first time we are also getting a look at one of the men who was killed and whose death sparked the violence. police say he was a gang member, a known gang member and ran from them before he was shot. they claim he had been acting suspiciously. he was however, reportedly unarmed and is one of five people killed by local officers this year, leaving many in the community to question whet

sunday, about this time is former ambassador, to the united nations and fox news contributor, john bolton. good morning, ambassador. >> good morning. >> eric: let's start with the fighting in two of this citie c one in the heart of damascus. what does it mean for the regime. >> it is a further piece of evidence that the regime is under grave threat, highlighted by the defense minister and other key officials right in the heart of the most secure territory the regime holds. the assad regime is attempting to strike back itself with massive force to demonstrate it is still in control. but, i think that that is very much in doubt. i do think unless assad wins overwhelming victories, across the country, soon, that his days are likely numbered. >> eric: and what about the chemical weapons? there is a lot of concern those stockpiles are indeed secure. could assad use them against the rebels? could he use them against his own citizens as we saw saddam hussein do? >> i think it is entirely possible. i think that is the first risk that confronted with the collapse of the regime and a possible blood

ambassador to the united states, john bolton, and retired general jack keane, on what is now one of the biggest military threat on the globe. this fourth of july. new concerns about the u.s. economy today. they come in the form of a report. from the international monetary fund. learning about a possible new recession in the coming months. this is just the latest in a series of reports suggesting that our economy has hit a rough patch. tobin smith is founder and chief for nbt research. are we supposed to be paying attention to what the imf i warning or not? >> the imf has not been particularly the best source of views of the next six to nine months. they are bringing up the key point, which is when we had a 4% economy, maybe we could dillydally with this brinksmanship we had last summer. you know, where we were not going to extend the debt limit, and therefore we were going to shut government down. look what happened. the markets convulsed and we were literally up the brink. we can't do that now because we have 2% economy, if that. and we never really ever addressed the issue. these peop

ambassador john bolton joins us as he does every sunday about this time, he's a fox news contributor of course the former u.s. ambassador to the united nations. ambassador, good morning. >> good morning, glad to be with you. >> eric: well, as always the new sanction, gone into effect this morning, no more oil to the eu? what effect will it have, if any. >> you know, these sanctions have been forecast for quite some time. iran has known about them and they have prepared about them -- for them and indeed, in some cases, iran cut off oil exports to eu countries before they cut off their purchases. and, they have balanced the loss of those exports with increases elsewhere. a lot of funny math in the statistics. there is no doubt these sanctions have hurt iran, at least to an extent. but, how much still very much remains to be seen. >> eric: they've hurt the economy and currency is down 40% an oil exports cut in half and do you think it is a three card monte shell game? they stop selling one place and can sell someplace else, it doesn't matter. >> the obama administration claims a 20 to 3

ambassador bolton, let me start with you.ian regime is holding on and it seems to be telegraphing something, you tell me, to the united states perhaps? to israel perhaps? about we'll not use these weapons against our people but if we get attacked different story? >> i believe half of that statement. i still think it is a very grave risk that faced with its potential demise that the assad regime or some of its generals might well decide to use chemical weapons against the opposition. i think they are serious about the threat of, on using them against foreign forces as well. but it's not just the use by the assad regime. i think we have to be worried about. if the regime falls or if there is anarchy inside syria the risk of terrorists like al qaeda among the opposition forces getting access to these weapons, or next door in lebanon, hezbollah, or spreading to other terrorist groups i think it is very real and should be of enormous concern to the united states, other nato allies, israel, really people around the world. >> why, w

are joined by fox news contributor and former united states ambassador to the united nations, john bolton joins us every sunday at this time. good morning, ambassador. >> good morning, eric, glad to be with you. >> eric: kofi annan admits the failure. how can they finally be able to stop the violence? >> reporter: well, this initiative was never going to succeed. the fact is, that russia and china, two permanent members of the security council have very different interests than the u.s., britain and france. and, i think the kofi annan mission shows a very important point, going on almost 6 months now, proves failed negotiations are not cost-free, by diverting people's attention, from the real strategic context. people have allowed the situation in syria to get worse and they have allowed the assad regime time to dig itself in. so, i think it was a mistake from the beginning, to think that kofi annan or anybody else for that matter was going to bring russia and china to the same view as the united states, britain and france, and it wasn't going to happen then and has not happened since the

ambassador john bolton joins me. ambassador, good evening.d you to have you here. >> glad to be here. >> how concerning is all of that to you? >> it should be very concerning, because the olympics obviously have been a source of terrorist attacks in the past. you think of the munich olympics where israeli athletes were killed, and there other attempts. this is a circumstance that gives terrorist of a wide variety of descriptions a lot of opportunities to get their message across sadly. so if i were british authorities, i'd be quite worried. i understand, the point you made, they say despite the geographical location of this particular arrest, it wasn't connected to the olympics. we'll see as more facts come in. it highlights a growing concern that british authorities rightly have. >> they made another arrest a week or so ago. they can hold these people for 14 days if they want to to continue to question them under british law. obviously they're taking every precaution, very experienced in handling terrorism unfortunately in london. and that i

and ambassador john bolton and karl rove are both here. but first, speaker of the house, john boehner, the fight over extending the bush-era tax cuts, getting down and dirty. but is it getting anywhere? yesterday, the democratally controlled senate renewed the tax cuts, but only for those making less than $250,000. for everyone else, tax rates go up january 1. now it is the republican-led house's move. we spoke with speaker john boehner earlier today. nice to see you, sir. >> greta, good to be with you. >> greta: senate voted yesterday. what is your plan in the house? >> the house next week will vote to stop the looming tax hike scheduled to take effect on january 1. the president's plan would cost about 700,000 jobs that wouldn't be created or could be lost by taxing small businesses. the house will not do that. the house will extend all of the existing tax rates. we have 8% unemployment and 41 months of it. this is not the time -- the time to be raising taxes on american small businesses. >> greta: will there be any deals down the road,

we'll speak with john bolton and doug schoen about what this means. the real-life jaws encounter on the east coast. >> i jumped up and ran down and said get out of the water. there was just a flood of other. brave knights! as you can clearly see from this attractive graph that our sales have increased by... sorry, my liege. honestly. our sales have increased by 20%. what is this mystical device i see before me? it's an ultrabook. he signed the purchase order. with an ultrabook, everything else seems old fashioned. introducing the ultra sleek, ultra responsive ultrabook. a whole new class of computers powered by intel. do you have any idea where you're going ? wherever the wind takes me. this is so off course. nature can surprise you sometimes... next time, you drive. next time, signal your turn. ...that's why we got a subaru. love wherever the road takes you. i'm making my money do more. ♪ i'm consolidating my assets. i'm not paying hidden fees or high commissions. i'm making the most of my money. and seven-dollar trades are just the start. i'm with s

ambassador john bolton is the former u.n.assador to the united nations and a fox news contributor. he is here to tell us what this mean. usns rappahannock is operated by civilians but u.s. military on board. we take a shot at this vessel. why is it anything more than there was fear, a mistake and that's the end of it. >> it shows how red tkaoet navy is to prevent actions by iran that could be designed to carry out the iranian threat to close the strait of hormuz. you know, this kind of small vessel rapidly approaching, ignoring warnings had all the earmarks of the attack on the u.s.s. coal over a decade ago which almost sank that ship. so the very quick reaction by the navy, whether it was a civilian ship or iranian boat, whatever it was demonstrates they are not going to fool around, they are going to protect american lives and be very, very alert to any iranian effort to cause any trouble in the persian gulf. megyn: you think iran is watching this? >> i think it's every possibilities this was a little test of the united sta
