does he need john bolton to take a position?aking this position for political reasons to stand against the president. i think it looks way too much like what happened in 2001 with a very flimsy premise suggesting we go into a country with military intervention. i see this as being very politically opportunistic on his part because it is a terrible policy. >> can i say something? >> yeah sure. go ahead. >> everyone is reading this as if this is coming out of the mouth of ted cruz. ted cruz has not espoused a policy on iran. he has not espoused a policy on dealing with the middle east. that is to come. john bolton is one of many advisers that ted cruz has in his campaign. he wrote a piece. it was his opinion. ted's opinion may be different. i'm not going to draw the link that because john bolton says it, ted cruz is going to act on it or believe it. i think it is false to do that. that's why i think your premise is false. >> how much of an influence do you think bolton is going to have on cruz? >> i think bolton represents a wing

michael bolton -- [ light laughter ] destroyed, destroyed. [ laughter ] michael bolton got up, sang "when a man loves a woman," played guitar. when michael bolton gets up, you don't think i'm about -- i'm going to get my balls blown off, but that's what happened. not just to me, to everybody. we all -- everybody was -- you don't know, everybody was grabbing whatever balls they could get and we all went home. i had one of tom hanks' balls and maybe -- i think a goodman. i'm not sure.

what do you mean like john bolton? define that for me. >> he's as radical as they get. every solution is that we have to be there boots on the ground. we have to take military action. he's not your next-door neighborhood diplomat so to speak. >> that's a good line. a, he's not as radical as they can get. i think he's a seasoned and well established diplomat. you have a policy disagreement with him and that's fine. to the question i think it will be important for ted cruz to answer that question ultimately but not necessarily now. >> caroline he was asked the

we had a big interview with bill ackman with deirdre bolton.e. >> widely watched and widely volatile. you see a 7% pop in the story. the investigation was that, today, right here, the rebuttal, but right now, you see the stock is up about 8% at 35.97. david: tom sullivan is founder and chairman not ceo of lumber liquidators. he will be on in a moment. they're getting hit again today,. >> this is opportunity for mr. sullivan to give a rebuttal. the company stood by flooring and caught. that is what they continue to have do. right now the stock is down 15%. [closing bell ringing] liz: pandora, big gains. maybe they will be a target. we're watching this on friday the 13th. david: friday the 13th living up to the name and reputation until the last couple minutes of trading. we're still heading up triple digits on downside. all indices are down as you can see. a much improved market from where it was couple hours ago. we saw down over 200 on the dow. other indices were down much further. liz: the nasdaq getting hit by 21 points. that is a big clip.

john bolton talked with abc 7 news during his trip to san francisco today for a policy briefing with the advocacy group, the bay area council. he commented on a letter this week from 47 republican senators warning tehran that any nuclear accord with president obama's team could expire the day he leaves office. >> the president is worried that the involvement of these 47 senators jeopardizes the deal he's negotiating what that tells you is this is a very fragile deal indeed. >> i think you have to ask what people are trying to accomplish. the author says he doesn't want these agreements to be made and he thinks before the judgment is even made that it's a mistake. >> secretary of state john kerry says the president has made it absolutely clear iran will not get a nuclear weapon. negotiators from the u.s. and five other nations hope to reach a framework agreement by month's end. >>> court records show the truck driver whose oversize rig derailed an amtrak rig is a

yet seen it as far back as george harrison and michael bolton, as well as a very big case, the verve using rolling stone's songs in bittersweet symphony. the rolling stones got 100% of the royalties. cory: it was stolen. it was clearly their 10 that was -- their tune that was recorded and used as a background. jason: in that instance that is correct. there was a license in that case where there was a license, a sampling license, but the license was -- they used to much based on what the license said they were allowed to use. to your point, the music business has definitely evolved to a case of using prior art very much in current art. obviously songwriters and music publishers deserve the right to get paid for their prior art. at the same time i think that the courts have to be very careful about stifling creativity.

of course john bolton killed it at cpac. he's john bolton at cpac.his -- >> if he doesn't kill it there, where is he going to kill it? >> look a kid in a candy store. i think that the republicans are definitely -- they're definitely going with the strength, we're go to show we can stand up, be strong, stand up to isis. and all of that. but they have to be careful with that. i think scott walker, his comparison of wisconsin union workers to isis was crazy and that's why -- that's not something you want to see as an american looking at your republican candidate. i think that they all have to be very, very careful. >> it is interesting here, chris, the biggest vulnerable i think for hillary clinton is foreign policy. i think the libya decision, in particular the whole management of the arab spring didn't go well. and so the question is, will the republicans be able to have a credible attacker i guess? >> you look at this field, the foreign policy, it is early, but foreign policy is more present as a major issue now in the republican primary than we have

ambassador john bolton with the answers lou: this breaking news.he state department has been hit with a large-scale cyber attack. shutting down much of its email system. a principal target in the attack seems to be the unclassified email system. the timing couldn't be a coincidence. the cyber attack being characterized as one of the most serious in the history. the malware may have been inserted by russian hackers. state department officials are not saying who is responsible for carrying out the attack. again, the state department suffering a cyber attack on its unclassified email system large parts of which had to be shut down. (?) the state department today pressed on the disappearance of russian president vladimir putin. he disappeared from the public eye eight days ago. >> there was a report that russian vladimir putin hasn't been seen in public for a week. does the state department have any idea where he is, what he's up to. >> i believe the kremlin has spoken to this. i would point you to that. >> you don't have anymore information? >> no. >>

we had michael bolton and sony payout $5 million.love is a wonderful thing" seemed to copy the 1960 song "love is a wonderful thing." they got $5 million on the back of that. george harrison's "my sweet lord" seemed to have copied "he's so fine" from the 1960's as well. the judge said, i don't think he purposely plagiarized, but it sounds too similar. more recently "bittersweet symphony" was pointed out as a song that has not been sued by one, but by two rolling stones previous managers because it seemed too much like "the last time the account this keeps happening -- "the last time." this keeps happening. it is perhaps a little bit of it is going to be painful for pharrell williams. it was the caps on of 2013 and he basically produced the whole thing. what a court case. anna: time for our own blurred lines. let's make no attempt to transition. six minutes away from the start of european equity trading. greece is going to be one of the focuses. caroline: it has been. we are expecting a miniscule bounce today in equity markets. basica

ambassador and fox news contributor john bolton. welcome back to the show.ive us the latest on yemen. >> it has been a proxy war between iran and saudi arabia for some time. this houthi coalition in effect dividing country this is proxy and back door of saudi arabia and other oil producing monarchies on arabian peninsula. this is desperate situation. i think saudis waited too long. it is significant the egyptian government is in there. there are reports of egyptian groups already in the strait between the red sea and gulf of aden. i think that is potentially significant. and it stems in part because saudis and other arabs have given up the notion that united states will do anything significant about iran's nuclear weapons program. gerri: they're right on the border of saudi arabia. they have to be nervous about what is going on there. how much is this about sunnis and shiites not getting along together other is this more political than that? >> it is very complex inside of yemen there is no doubt about it. the state has effectively disintegrated. the houthi

ambassador john bolton joins us. ambassador bolton refresh your recollection surprised that general petraeus said that our greatest threat now is iran and not isis? i think it always has been. anybody on the verge ever getting nuclear weapons is a threat. i think the government in baghdad is a wholly owned subsidiary of the ayatollahs, i think she's shias militias are part of their network. the goal here is to reestablish that arc of influence that iran had through the al maliki government in iraq. the assad regime in syria and hezbollah in lebanon. and that's why although i think we need to defeat isis i would not aid the government of baghdad to do it ambassador, do you get the sense that the white house could be relying on iran to fight isis because we know they are a shared enemy of ours. but netanyahu says the enemy of our enemy is our enemy. do you get the sense that in these deals there could be talks that president obama, since he doesn't seem to have the appear tight to fight isis would rely on the iranians

john bolton is former ambassador to the u.n. and it's good to have you here today.ade some strong statements. she got a lot of applause from the crowd. she says under no circumstances will the united states allow iran to get a nuclear weapon, period. >> that is what president obama has been saying for the last six years and it's simply not true. iran continues to make progress in terms of iranian enrichment and its weaponnization activities. in terms of its ballistic missile programs. the on thing that this point that will stop iran is a military strike. and the president although he says all options are on the table is not repaired to do that. i think the deal is really going to give iran a clean path towards getting nuclear weapons. rhetoric is not going to stop them. martha: how much of this has to do with the iran deal. it appears he feels he understands their minds better than netanyahu does. >> barack obama and his entire administration are like putty in the hands of the hard men of history in iran. they have been massage can this deal for years. they have bee
