joining us on the telephone from the persian gulf, ambassador john bolton, former u.n. ambassador to the u.n., fox news contributor. ambassador, good morning. >> glad to be with you. even from a distance. >> exactly. i'm going to talk to you in a moment about the view from there. first this new troubling event. victory over this christian town. what do we do about it? >> i think this demonstrates just how complex the civil war inside syria is. you know, historically, christians and alawites have supported the assad regime in part because they fear what would happen if the 70% sunni majority led by extremists were to take control in syria. it's not because bashar al assad protects the christians or the drews. but because it's a political alliance. i think as the christians have seen what happened in egypt with the muslim brotherhood, trashing churches, intimidating and assaulting christians, they worry that the brotherhood's equivalent in syria and even worse, al qaeda and terrorist groups, could really endanger the relatively small christian population there. so they ar

ambassador john bolton is a former u.s.bassador to the u.n., senior fellow at the american enterprise institute, and a fox news contributor. we talk about the obama doctrine. can you define it? >> no, and what's worse, neither can he. i think it's a very confused series of priorities that are shifting all the time but i do think there is a key point here in obama's assessment of the u.s. role in the world. up until his administration, every president believed that america was a benign influence, that our strength led to what measure of peace and security and stability there is in the world, and that american flexibility in our series of alliances around the world contributed to that. i don't think obama really believes that american strength is positive. i think he is thinks that our very strong presence in the world is actually causes some of the problems and that is withdrawn, less powerful america will mean a more peaceful world and more influence for the united nations. i think that is like looking through the wrong end

john bolton served as the u.s. ambassador to the united nations, fox's contributor and also senior fellow at the american enterprise institute. good morning, ambassador. >> good morning, eric. >> you're an the united nations this week. is iran for real? >> no, this is another play from hassan rouhani's play book from ten years ago. they will make a surface, superficial compromise. they will continue their charm offensive. they'll do anything they can optically to get relief from the economic sanctions, but they will not sacrifice the nuclear program. if you listen to hassan rouhani's speeches in new york, last week, he made it clear. this is the same gameplan they followed before, and i'm afraid if you look at the president's kind of abject longing for a handshake or a conversation with hassan rouhani last week, it's very clear iran enters this negotiation holding the upper hand. >> let's look at what how harouy said in 2004. he gave a speech and boasted about the quarterback sneak. here's what he said during negot

with is, john bolton, former ambassador to the united nations. hn, it is odd, and not just odd couple, but odd for two of the world's prominent leaders to all but not be talking to one another. >> i think this demonstrates why obama shouldn't be in russia in the first place. he should have cancelled the entire trip to russia after putin gave asylum to edward snowedden and the trove of national security secrets he carried with him. and even after obama decided to go to the g-20 summit, after yesterday's incident where vladimir putin called secretary of state john kerry a liar, the president should have demanded a public apology, and, frankly, shouldn't have shaken putin's hand. you can't have a foreign leader say that about the senior cabinet secretary, the man who the president relies on as his spokesman for foreign policy, called a liar and let it go unanswered, period, close quote. >> i know there's diplomatic ways to do things, chuck, and i understand these things, the decorum, but let's just stop being the -- what's to stop the u.s. president

: we are back and we are joined now by ambassador john bolton, who is a former u.s. the u.n. and a fox news contributor. he was listening to the president's news conference from st. petersburg this morning. what was your reaction, mr. ambassador? >> it was hour-long demonstration how unfocused and indecisive barack obama is, better than somebody else's words can describe. there was no strategic focus. if that press conference they hoped to persuade members about congress to use force that opportunity was missed. just focusing on the g20 summit, you know the president i'm sure hoped to come out of that with a political delta to have moved some of the leaders he was with to support both rhetorically and maybe more important operationally an attack against the assad regime. at least based on what the president said, i didn't see any change in attitudes there at all n fact when putin gave his press conference, he said expressly, we're going to continue to provide military assistance to the assad regime. martha: yeah. let's listen to a little piece of what we just heard,

john bolton, thank you for your time. >> what is next? >> the department of justice is sowing over one state's voter id laws and what it could mean for voters across the country. >> we will not simply stand by as the voice was those affected by the proposal that we have seen including north carolina minority communities impacted by the provision and are shut out of the process of self governance. >> fox news alert. update on a shooting that caused a panic in a popular mall not far from new york city. fox news confirming that the bodies of the man going into the shooting spree was found. he burst in a long island business where he worked a week ago. fatally shooting one and rounding the founder and owner of the business. the incident caused a fear@mall. kim's body is said to be recovered from the hudson river. his body was found over the weekend. >> the department of justice taking on north carolina and suing that state over the new voter id law. this latest move to counter a supreme court ruling that the doj said the new law threatens the

. >>> joining us is ambassador john bolton. ambassador, they're using such terms as cowardice. >> i think the israelis have known or should have known for some time that barack obama is never going to use force against the iranian nuclear weapons program, if anybody's going to do it, it has to be israel. even the use of force against assad's chemical weapons here will send the wrong signal to iran, that we don't know exactly what the u.s. strike will look like, we do know what the president keeps saying about it, he said it again today, it will be proportional and limited. you do not establish a deterrent effect by a proportionate response, when dwight eisenhower was president, facing the risk of the soviet nuclear attack, his deterrent was called massive retaliation that we would respond overwhelmingly, even to a soviet conventional attack in western europe. that's how you establish deterrents, a limited strike against syria, will not only not establish deterrents, it will say to the iranians, is that all there is? we're home

ambassador john bolton joins us, nice to see you, despite the fact that 81 christians were blown up,kenya, as well. that doesn't seem particularly stable to me, but what are your thoughts? >> well, it is ridiculous, this speech by president obama is a long rehash of his foreign policy. for me, it has been divided in the last four years of his administration and then history. when he focused on iran, he really showed he has no clue what the nature of that regime is, the threat that they pose to the united states and its allies. and i think we're about to go down a very dangerous road for the united states and our friends in the middle east. >> in terms of the gesture between the united states and iran today, how does it look? does it look like the president was reaching out showing diplomacy, and would always rather be talking than fighting? or does it look like iran sort of dissed us? that the president was reaching out and the iranian president said he just couldn't do it? it was too complicated to make it work? >> yeah, there is a french diplomatic word the french people use, the d

. >> john bolton, i don't know what he's running for yet.ut i would say if you're a progressive and i would say to congressman holt, if no one will stand up and enforce the international norms that i think he is extremely concerned with, that somebody's going to have to do that. because if we don't stand up and enforce those international norms, the nearly 100 year prohibition on chemical weapons in warfare, if we don't do it what signal does that send to assad? >> my response quickly is your notion and very cleanly and daintily you're saying enforce international norms. what you're saying is give the military the right to send cruise missiles into syria and kill people. that is somehow going to stop assad from killing his people. explain how that stops him from killing his people. >> i think what we do is we degrade his capability -- >> by doing what? >> go after helicopters, airfields, delivery mechanisms for these chemical weapons. >> you think this is going to be a surgical strike? >> i think it will. >> and not kill many people. >> i do

ambassador to the u.n., john bolton about it, and he said it should concern all of us. listen here. >> so this has been a problem that's been evident for quite some time, and now i think we're seeing the price of not paying adequate attention to it. the price of assuming that somalia is a long way away. >> of course there were western victims of this attack, we understand that three brittons were killed and some americans were indeed wounded in this attack, which, as i say, the situation not completely over yet, according to kenyan officials. trace? >> trace: the fox sports chief correspondent jonathan hunt live in new york. with us now former cia covert operations officer mike baker. currently profit the global consulting firm, diligence llc. good to see you. we early thought that maybe some americans had been involved in the attack. we now have no proof. which is is not to say that al shabab is not recruiting in the united states. >> a lot of people look at this and say, how do they do that? al-shabab has focused on trying to identify and then recruit and eventually r

ambassador john bolton joins us. good evening. >> good evening.d to be with you. >> this resolution by the u.n. security council, good or bad? >> well, it's simply a continuation of the agreement that was reached in geneva last weekend and doesn't really add or detract from that one way or another. i think the underlying agreement is flawed. i don't think syria will declare or destroy all of the chemical weapons, some of them. but the rest i think have been hidden or moved out of the country. think i the real victory is with assad and the russians, it give it is assad regime time to strengthen its position. so i don't think the security council resolution really adds or detracts from that original analysis. >> tell me if i'm wrong but since it has no punitive or military enforcement, they have do go back for action, we'd have to go back and get sort of an agreement or not and i assume the president didn't seem like he was too patient with the u.n. is that he would go it alone without the u.n. and then am i wrong that that would create some sort of

john bolton, under the bush administration, has an op ed. he is saying -- host: again, the fault of john bolton, former ambassador to the united nations. lancaster, pennsylvania. good morning, honor democrats want. we are asking people about the opinion -- the opinion of the role of the u.n. in international affairs. are going to have to stop listening to the tv and just talk on the phone. israel serves as a peacekeeping country in the middle east. and -- host: what do you think about the role of the larger u.n., what role does it play? , please, go ahead and talk and stop listening to your tv. caller: it is a peacekeeping country and i think the united states, it is a good thing the united states is also helping i -- i think if we did not have israel there, it will be a farmer dangerous area amenities. host: jason is up next, , florida.s caller: i think we should follow the u.n.'s lead on this, because they are the ones who are supposed to be in charge of all of that off. that stuff. and we are trying to get in charge of too many things wit

called him a liar and days later, the president was off to the g- 20 and i remember speaking to john bolton. in his opinion your secretary of state is called a liar, you don't shake hands with that person the next day. he encouraged that person not to attend the g- 20. he had no illusions that the president would take him up on that idea. this putin thing, chris is undermining is it not? >> when you think about it this way. one of the lone stars of american foreign policy is to avoid being in a position where the russians make any demand of us. it was true in the soviet era and may do deals with them but being in a subordinate position and needing their say so to go a head americans have tried to avoid. they have armed iran and syria in their clientitate and protecting the assad regime and the president finds himself to try to solve a domestic situation getting in hock to vladimar putin. >> putin feels emboldened by the things that tock place and to the point where as you mentioned, they are selling s300. surface to air missiles to iran, with no excuses or apologies to anybody on that front

know meetings are going on as president seeks authorization for congress from military action and john bolton ambassador and fox news contributor is watching this with us everyday since they first started talking about it in washington and at u.n. good to see you today. >> glad to be with you, jamie. >> so now inspectors come back. the question they were not asked is who is responsible so they confirm that it actually took place scientifically. what's their next move? >> i think the results of the test that they have commissions around europe will disclose exactly what the toxic agents are. what concentrations. whatever that sort of forensics can come up with. and i think that could be useful to the obama administration if it's the organization for prohibition of chemical weapons. if saran gas was used. but as you point out, inspectors did not have a plan date to assess responsibility. they may have collected some evidence that would give an indication but most likely not. so i think when these reports are concluded, when the inspectors tell secretary-general what they have, it is not leaving
