john bolton is the former united states ambassador to the united nations and fox news contributor who joins us every sunday at about this time. good morning, ambassador. >> good morning, eric. glad to be with you. >> why do they want morsy to go? >> there are a lot of reasons that the demonstrators have and sometimes they're conflicting with each other. so while the pictures on the surface look a lot like the demonstrations against mubarak in tahrir square two years ago i think it would be a mistake to assume we're simply seeing a repeat. the fact is the muslim brotherhood government has not performed in a competent fashion. so you have a lot of people who actually long for a return to the stability of the mubarak years. you do see some people who want a western-style democracy. you see some people who are opponents of the brotherhood because they don't think it's islamicist enough. so i think there's a real risk here that morsi's supporters, who are also out demonstrating today, could come into physical conflict with these anti-morsi demonstrators. we've already seen violence on both

ambassador john bolton weighs in next. jenna: welcome back.he srerpd is in following a very high profile murder trial in kansas, the jury taking only hours to decide the fate of a former cop accused of killing his wife. rick folbaum is live in our new york city newsroom with more. >> reporter: the trial has been big news in small town america. king man, kansas, population 2900, a couple goes from being high school sweethearts to murderer and victim that was the decision the jury made late last night after six hours of deliberations find being the defendant guilty of first-degree murder in the 2011 death of his wife. the couple was estranged fighting over custody of their two young sons while continuing to live under the same roof. prosecutors convinced the jury that 16 days after the wife filed for divorce, bret, a former sheriff's deputy shot and killed her, grabbed the two boys and set a fire in the house to cover up the evidence. they said he left behind a forged suicide note. defense lawyers argued that the wife committed suicide because s

john bolton, former u.s. ambassador to the united nations, the person to ask about this.ernoon. >> good afternoon. >> we have migs and missiles that russia is bragging about send to go assad. what's the risk, first of all, to israel and is there anything anyone can do to stop this? >> well, obviously assad has lost some of his fighter capability during the course of the hostilities because they can be used for close ground support for infantry as well. so this bolsters his air force and the missiles, part of a sophisticated air defense system known as the s 300, greatly enhanced the assad regime's ability to protect itself and possibly also protect hezbollah arsenals of weapons in lebanon. so just as a military matter, it's a big, big improvement for the syrians. as a political matter, it signals russia's determination to keep the assad regime in power. >> jamie: is russia playing both sides of this, where the united states is concerned? >> well, i think it certainly is playing the united states. the obama administration for 2 1/2 years has believed that we share a common

john bolton, senior fellow the enterprise institute joins us this morning as he does every sunday morning. good morning, ambassador. >> glad to be with you. >> eric: when dealing with the nsa program, do you think its massive invasion of american's privacy? >> it's entirely appropriate. the thing about the program under obama, if anything it build on the foundation that the bush administration put in place after 9/11. they have expanded it under president obama. what they are after is not surveiling americans, not reading your emails, not listening into your phone conversations. they are trying to find out about foreign terrorist activity and connection into the united states. so it's very important to understand that none of this is just roaming at large to look at administration enemies or opponents under the obama administration but to have a connection with terrorism. i think that is incredibly important to understand and one of the unfortunate consequences of the obama administration's loss of trust among the american people that some are quick to assume that the obama administration

ambassador john bolton joining us next with his take on our response to the russians.ge tiff wanted by our country. former nsa edward snowden is still in a moscow airport. ef flew out of hong kong on sunday where he had been hiding out every since admitting to leaking information on our government secret surveillance programs. he's wanted in the united states on charges of espionage. just to remind you, russian president vladimir putin confirmed form the first time that snowden is in a moscow airport. he said snowden is still in a transit station and so he's technically not in russian. he refuses to extradict him. this reaction from john mccain. >> at first he said he's not in russian. that is the classic old soviet union double speak. technically because he's in the lounge at the airport he was not technically in russia. look, this is the kind of cold war old soviet speak kind of behavior that has characterized colonel putin, colonel in the k tpw-rbgs b fo kkgb. we have known it for a longtime. maybe we'll wake up and have a realistic approach in our relations with ru

ambassador john bolton.contributor, good morning ambassador. >> and mahmoud ahmadinejad and apparently iran is helping assad and russia is helping him and secretary kerry is saying stop it. are they listening? >> they are not listening. obviously both russia and iran have been aiding assad during the hostilities over the last two years. it's one of the main reasons that assad stayed in power. within the last several months there seems to be little doubt that iran and russia had both stepped up the quantity and quality of the assistance that they are providing, more sophisticated communications and targeting capability. more financial assistance and bringing in hezbollah which is terrorist organization funded by iran. more significantly russia reaffirming that it will sell a very sophisticated air defense system to syria. when you combine that to sales of planes and sales of anti-ship missiles and deployment of over a dozen additional russian warships to the syrian area of the mediterranean, all speaks of a s

john bolton joins us now. it is a clash of the titans here.om both of the two leading economies. do we have any leverage on china. i think that people who say that china is holding some american dad gives them more leverage, i think, ms. understand the complexity of the relationship that we have. our purchases, their goods -- it is very risky for one ide or the other to try to use economic pressure. stuart: now you have this cyber hacking. the methodology in the american government and the business community is that china is engaged in a peaceful rise. this cyber hacking, a long with a lot of other authentic chinese behavior shows that it is far from a peaceful rise. stuart: we got that. the question stands, what should president obama say to the chinese, hey, quit it or else, what? >> unless we are prepared to play at the same level as the chinese, we cannot protect our secrets and we cannot threaten them with the possibility that we can do the same. stuart: you do not think that we have all offensive cyber weapons? >> i think that we have so

ambassador, senior fellow and fox news contributor john bolton joins us every morning. >> good morning. >> good to see you as always. first, let's start with the new obama policy. is it in the nick of time or too little too late? >> i think it's actually evidence of the continuing disarray of the obama policy. i think any serious military observer will tell you that this contribution that obama's now prepared to make will not make any significant military difference and, in fact, it looks as though obama was backed into it because of his own rhetoric about the assad regime using chemical weapons crossing a red line. i don't think we've had a policy in syria for 2 1/2 years other than pray that the russians will actually do something to remove assad. that was never any part of their strategic vision of the middle east nor has it been any part of iran's strategic vision. from that perspective nothing has changed. this has always been a conflict where iran and russia were on the other side. >> what would happen tomorrow when it sits down with vladimir putin in northern ireland and discuss

and ambassador john bolton is here.r standing in the world now lower than when president bush was in office? all of that new at 10:00. general motors will spend $690 million expanding production in mexico. here is my take on that. taxpayers will not be happy. we are still owed $20 billion from the gm bailout. the uaw doesn't like to see manufacturing jobs exported south of the border. but look at this from gm's point of view. they want to slip the government lease. they don't like being government motors. management by politicians holds them back. they want to make money, they want to be more efficient if they expand at home they had to deal with the work rules and pay scales imposed by the fossilized bureaucracy. head cells, go to mexico and gm gets a degree of freedom they can't get at home. of course there is a third option, expand in a right-to-work state like japanese and german carmakers, but hold on a second, can you see this president allowing government motors is bailed out automaker fleeing the union base? hig

john bolton, a fox news contributor and ralph peters, who just wrote an eye-opening column on what heccepted wide scale general size of christians and jews in the two years following the arab spring. let me ask you about that. a lot of folks have come on and said things are no better under morrissey in egypt than mubarak but no worse either, the targeting of christians in egypt and other places in the wake of the arab spring has been going on a long time, even prior to the arab spring. >> well, i think you'd have to ask cop tick christians in egypt. they don't think they're better off. there's been much more violence. the long-term persecution and driving out the jews and christians who inhabited this region 2,000 years for the christians, for the jews, 3,000 years, they've been systematically murdered or driven out by radical muslims will you in the last decade it's accelerated. the christians in iraq has fallen by two-thirds. bethlehem, the population is over 80% muslims with christians fleeing every day. it's much worse for christians today. and you pointed out, the very insurgents

as john bolton said, i don't often agree with bolton but -- >> hasn't this story made str n strange bed. >> look at how many checks and balances there are here. the question is, are there enough checks and balances as to whether a democrat or republican president, democrat or american congress, do people feel they can trust the system put into place not to intervene. and to be clear about something snowden said in the interview is slightly misleading and getting talked about in chat rooms, is that he said he had the power and authorities. well, that's actually not true. he would have needed court order and higher level authority to go in and look at somebody. >> capability is is one thing. >> he would have broken the law. >> and there is push back on that from members of the intel committee in congress saying, he is overstating what he -- capability to do is one thing. but you know, actually doing it is another. and interesting to think of greenwald sitting there holding names of agent, undercover operatives, whose lives can be in danger if his files are compromised or he decides to pub

how about you, john bolton?s answer was meretricious and maybe pretorius, but the question never should have been asked in public. that is the kindf question, a complicated answer i will give him credit for telling him in advance. th makes his answer all the more inexplicable. lou: you are both very tough on these folks, and i he to tell you, i wonder howough he would be if they were not, in fact, taking every effort, every pain to go through and surveil as much as they possibly could to seeking out the bad guys. and doig soithin constraints that are, as the judge defined for us, legal, if not in conflict with the constitution and the judgment itself, but they are legal. >> well, we are going to find out because the aclu has now brought suit against the yen as for this kind of activity. we're going to find out whether or not is constitutional law not . i know the answer to that question. lou: you get the last word. >> i am not sure. i don't think the aclu has standing to bring this cas i know that the executive

john bolton is a former ambassador to the u.n. and a fox news contributor. what do you make of former president bill clinton breaking with president obama's policy on syria so publicly? >> my first thought was this was the beginning of hillary clinton's 2016 presidential campaign to show distance between the policy that she would pursue in syria and perhaps more broadly verses the obama administration. i don't think this was entirely accidental on former president clinton's part, and the implication he's giving is that president obama is weak and indecisive, all of which is true. >> issue with syria has never been an easy one. it's a tough one. had we intervened earlier -- let me start with what they say today. the administration today says it's hard to arm the rebels because we don't know who the rebels are. it's possible al qaeda has infiltrated. do you agree with that caution? >> i believe al qaeda has infiltrated. you could have said exactly the same thing 2 1/2 years ago, and if the administration back then had identified leaders of the opposition that

ambassador john bolton next. bill: the brave officers who put their lives on the line and saved the day with only seconds to spare. >> there is a huge accident. there is an emergency on 22nd street. the guy is on fire. the guy is getting on fire. we've been bringing people together. today, we'd like people to come together on something that concerns all of us. obesity. and as the nation's leading beverage company, we can play an important role. that includes continually providing more options. giving people easy ways to help make informed choices. and offering portion controlled versions of our most popular drinks. it also means working with our industry to voluntarily change what's offered in schools. but beating obesity will take continued action by all of us, based on one simple common sense fact... all calories count. and if you eat and drink more calories than you burn off, you'll gain weight. that goes for coca-cola, and everything else with calories. finding a solution will take all of us. but at coca-cola

. >> judge jeanine: with me, former ambassador to the united sations john bolton who i join us from d.c. and colonel day visit hunt. thanks for being with us this evening. >> hi. >> judge jeanine: ambassador, why even get involved in this? >> i would not provide military assistance to the syrian opposition. i still don't think we have confidence or could have confidence the weapons could be kept out of the hands of terrorists and al-qaeda and other radicals. i think senator mccain's analysis is correct without a no fly zone and substantially greater arms assistance than the obamaed a in menstruation is prepared to give we will not -- administration is prepared to give we will not have much of an effect. the risk of both possible worlds we are in but we don't affect the outcome. >> judge jeanine: why now, col helcolonel hunt? why now? >> chemical weapons we have known for a year they have done it. too convenient by a long shot. >> judge jeanine: 93,000 people are killed. blown up, shot, you know and they are killed. and we do nothing. then 150 die of chemical weapons and all of a sudden

john bolton, rudy guliani and others expressing concerns about the iranian regime. >> the u.s. strong and forceful and consistent. i think our problem in iran we haven't had a consistent policy that we have kept moving forward. we are too many stop, started negotiations and proliferation question of nuclear matters is very important to us as is the export of terrorism around the world. we have seen that sadly in syria today. >> reporter: some say, however, the real story is in iran where young people celebrated the election of a president who is not a hard liner. last time around there were big street protests and calls for dramatic change. it seems after these elections, significant number of young iranians are relieved to have the process of gradual incremental change in a new president and, of course, heather, the jury is still out on whether in fact iran's new president will be able to instigate some change. whether he will have the will to instigate change in domestic policy easing up restrictions on freedoms and foreign policy and talks on the nuclear issue. this group to

. >> john: i was watching fox news because i'm a thinker and i heard john bolton say people need to focusenghazi. he's hilarious. the nsa programs have of course helped to prevent terrorist attacks. are they right about that? >> again, it's hard to know. they have not declassified information. >> john: wouldn't they? we heard about the new york subway plot that was foiled. wouldn't they be boasting? >> well, it's all classified. remember? the government i think they classified 92 billion pieces of information in the last fiscal year that they reported for. just the amount of data that is classified is huge. in terms of the prevention of terrorist attacks i thought the testimony today was quite interesting. he didn't actually say that they had prevented a number of terrorist attacks. he said they prevented a number of terror "events" which is a curious phraseology if you think about it. an event could be a financing piece of it, which is of course something that we should go after, but it's not quite the same thing as the boston marathon bombing. >> john: i was perplexed by that language t

[cheers and applause] jenna: ambassador john bolton is former u.s. ambassador to the u.n.ews contributor. so, ambassador, does word choice really matter here, evolving, the path to defeat, on the run? what should we make of it? >> well, i think the president has been justifiably humiliated for the previous rhetoric that al-qaeda was on the road to defeat when manifestly that's not the case. it's true that al-qaeda in waziristan has suffered a lot of losses at its top levels, and that's a very good thing. but al-qaeda in the arabian peninsula, al-qaeda in iraq, al-qaeda in the islamic maghreb, al-qaeda operations elsewhere in the world and affiliates of al-qaeda, loose affiliates, are really increasing their threat. so the president's choice of words that al-qaeda is evolving, i think, just represents the reality that smacked him, unfortunately, with tragic consequences in benghazi, at the boston marathon, in the streets of london and paris. but honestly, i don't think it really changes what the president really thinks. he's never believed there was a war against terrorism.

john bolton is here. >> glad to be here. >> this isn't a question about whether he is a nice guy or whether he has served the nation for many years, honorably. the question is whether or not dni clapper should be referred to justice for an investigation about whether or not he committed perjury. >> i think senator widen's question -- i would like to come back to the question. he did advise clapper he was going to ask the question. so it's pretty hard to say that the answer wasn't perjureious. as the marquise, a french foreign minister, it's worse than a crime, it's a mistake. it's the stupidest answer to give. i don't think the question should have been asked at all. it can only be answered accurately in a classified environment. i think it was a gotcha question. but faced with the senator determined to get headlines, clapper's answer should have been senator, i can't answer that question in an open session, would be glad to address it in a closed session. >> i said it was the head of the nsa, i made a mistake, it was dni clapper. i regret making that mistake. what does the average american

john bolton, former u.s. ambassad ambassador. and fox knew strategic analyst. i was never a u.s.were ambassador boldon, but my diplomatic antenna tell me this is the equivalent of the double middle digit. >> yeah. that's about right. we are still in the middle of it so we don't know exactly what administration has done. can you convey this in several ways. did president obama called president of china or president putin of russia, and say, this is important to us and did senator kerry call his counter parts. do they think we are just going through the motions or was it clear? and finally, what penalties are we ready to impose? we might impose moscow if we impose penalties on beijing to show we are serious. >> here is what president obama was specifically asked whether he spoke with mr. putin. jay carney refused to say whether there had been direct communications between the two. the president was asked that. he didn't exactly answer it. this is the way he answered it moments ago. >> you know, what we know is that we are following all of the appropriate yit legal channels and work

john bolton came on this program yesterday and not a big defender of this administration saying senatoren had no business asking him that in open session about a clandestine program. now, senator wyden's office comes out today and says we told him in advance he testified we were going to asked him and i asked him at the testimony and gave him a chance to clarify and after the fact, sent a written follow-up, are you sure you want to stand by that answer? i'm on the oversight committee for intel. and the president is saying trust your representative with oversight over this program. i tried to exercise that oversight and i was lied to! >> right. there is an alternative to telling a bold faced lie under oath. you can say, i can't answer that question because of security concerns, say something. but the problem is, this is a pattern. you have bob asking eric holder for clarification for statements he said, the former director of the irs making questionable comments. megyn, this all goes to whether or not the american people can trust and administration that will send its folks out, send som
