joining me former ambassador to the u.n., john bolton. fox news contributor. we know the bomber was a syrian refugee, a recent entry from syria. what does that tell you about the whole refugee movement? >> well, i think it has been known for quite sometime isis was using the flow of refugees to insert terrorists into turkey, into western europe and probably into the united states. you know the minister of information of lebanon four or five months ago said that he estimated 2% of all the refugees going into europe were terrorists. that is a phenomenal number. i think this is not certainly the first serious act of terrorism in turkey. we've had several in the past year. this one though i think directly aimed at a well-known tourist location. mostly europeans killed apparently. intended to send a signal not just inside of turkey but to europe and the u.s. as well. david: now, ambassador, some people speculated that somehow turkey or erdogan, his prime minister, his son, whoever it was might have some connections with isis in terms of buying isis's oil. do these

john bolton was mocked in 2003. the facility was confirmed by professor hecker several years later. people should be muted in their confidence for things we have uncovered and things that we might not know about. even as the iranian's have leased their hostages, they've taken the biggest hostage of all, and that's nuclear deal itself. iran test fired two ballistic missiles in blatant violation of u.n. security council resolutions. the administration said it would sanction iran for that. the iranians said we'll consider that a violation of the deal and the administration quietly removed the sanctions. iran is going to use the threat of nuclear snap back to constantly tell the west if you sanction us for our behavior, the deal is off. >> wendy, you heard brett stephens on this issue of missile testing. what do you think happened? we have about a minute. i'm sorry to ask you to do this briefly. >> sure. the administration said it will proceed with sanctions against iran and i expect that they will. it takes time to put the evidentiary material together. in that i think brett is entirel

ambassador to the united nations ambassador john bolton joinsuhñ us. >> good evening. >> ambassador, if i'm middle part of this country i'm worried about my job. i'm worried about getting my kids through school. getting their homework done. i'm watching all the political ads and everything else. why should i care about sectarian violence in the middle east, the shiites versus the sunnies or the problems that saudi arabia is having with iran? what's the argument to make to tell someone why he or she should care? >> because i think the problem is much more than the events of the past three or four days. what we're seeing, what we have been seeing for the last five or six years, really, is the entire middle east descending into chaos. and the implications, i think, are very direct for the united states. we have seen the growth of isis as auf viable terrorist organization. we have seen implications in san bernardino and paris and elsewhere in the west. and the possibility of more chaos acting oil production in the arabian gulf area. would have a profound e

john bolton, one of the most conservatives in the bush white house and ambassador to the united nations said there is no rational approach to the classification of our documents. everything hillary clinton has said about how she handled her e-mails and the documents she's received and sent has proven to be accurate and correct. >> no, in that sound bite, there is no classified information, that is false. you admit that? >> she said she sent and received nothing marked classified. >> robert, we saw the sound bite. first of all, at the first presser she had at the u.n., she said there is no classified material. >> this is not a gotcha game, megyn. >> then she said none was ever sent or received that was marked. >> how you determine what is classified is by the markings -- >> that's not true. >> dianne feinstein, who saw these e-mails in question tonight, said they had none of the markings that would indicate classified information. that's what is critical here. >> they stripped some of the markings off of them. that's already been reported. second of all -- the content of the document det

[ applause ] now, if i may begin with you judge pryor since you served a little while ago, what was it like serving as attorney general then? >> it was a different world. i became the attorney general of alabama in january of 1997. jeff sessions my former boss had just been elected to the united states senate and the governor appointed me to finish his term. and the first issue really on my plate was whether the state would join the national tobacco litigation. i had served as the chair of a task force the year before for both the governor and the attorney general as i was jeff sessions' deputy ag in evaluating whether the state should file such a lawsuit. our neighboring states, mississippi, and florida had. our recommendation was that we not do so. we thought it was con

former united nations ambassador to the united nations john bolton goes "on the record."when does this fight between iran and saudi arabia between for us. >> fundamentally that's the most important question. i think it effects the increasing likelihood that there could be real conflict between the sunni side of the muslim world led by the saudis what's the real conflict in your mind? >> i think the next step up is from burning the saudi embassy in tehran to inciting subversion and sabotage among the shia population in the saudi eastern province, which is where the bulk of the oil is. or in bahrain which has the majority sohio -- shia population or in arab bruising monarchies. we are on the verge of this escalating dramatically. >> all right. iran has been supporting assad in syria. saudi arabia has been supporting the rebels who are fighting assad. we have this january 25th meeting in geneva where we think we are going to end the civil war in syria that has already left a quarter of a million civilians dead. so now what? >> zero will happen at that meeting. look, the pres

ambassador to the united nations ambassador john bolton goes "on the record." good evening, sir.on't understand is this. is that iran has been financing forever. hezbollah is a terrorist group. i would expect that some of that money at a minimum would end up with hezbollah. >> i really want to give props to secretary kerry. this man can embarrass himself endlessly and not even smile about it. you know, this past summer which when they signed the nuclear deal he was asked wouldn't some of the unfrozen assets likely go to terrorist or nuclear programs. no, iran can't do that. there is a u.n. resolution that forbids people from aiding terrorist groups that have been sanctioned by the u.n. and there are u.n. resolutions against using money for the ballistic missile program. and now, of course, he admits that these pieces of paper do absolutely nothing to stop iran from allocating these funds any way they want to.eç >> i have always thought that the money was far more dangerous in the deal than actually the business about the nuclear know how. because the money can so destabilize a re

martha: we have ambassador john bolton, former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. >> good morning. martha: we want to get your opinion on this attack and the in light of paris and others? >> even though the turks seem to point to isis as sponsor of this terrorist attack, it could be a kurdish insure gents which the turks face. it could be hezbollah trying to make it appear it is an isis attacks so the tickers retaliate against the islamic state. what it shows in turkey, we've seen in the past year numerous suicide bomb incidents. it is reflection i think of the growing reach of the chaos we see in the middle east. maybe in paris the last year. it already has been san bernardino. it will be elsewhere in the united states too unless we do something about it. martha: now the urgency i hear in your tone, according to the notes that i sent us earlier, sound like you don't expect any of that in the president's speech tonight? >> i would be surprised. i urge, i don't normally advertise for "the new york times" but i urge everyone to look at the interview they did with president obama prin

john bolton, a conservative republican who served in george bush's administration, said that if anyone system for classifying things, i'd like to meet that person because he disagrees. i think that's the reality here. you can have one agency of the government that redacts a document one way and another agency within the same government that looks at the exact same e-mail and redacts it differently because they have dueling interpretation of what's class feud and what's not. when you have six or seven agencies that all get to weigh in you'll more than likely have someone raise their hand and say we need to raise it back. that's what's playing out here. it's a good-faith dispute. but the state department that's stood up for the last several months each time redactions have happened and said we don't believe that information is classified, that speaks to the fact that this is a gray area and the career foreign service officers often the originators of this e-mail know the difference between what's classified and what's not. a lot of people are mistaken to suggest that hillary clinton orig

ambassador to the united nations, john bolton. i'll start with you first.world seems to be making this news without breaching skepticism. what is your reaction this morning? speak my coverage is fine, skepticism is missed by us. we've seen of it in south korea has been concerned for some time that north korea was on the verge of a fourth test. besides making dignity in the region were previous tests have been conduct is pretty significant. but there was a thermonuclear device or not is a different question, something we won't attack simply from the seismic reaction. i don't have any doubt north korea's continuing work their weapons. one unresolved question people think about seriously is whether this test was conducted between north korea and iran jointly. sandra: the only reason i mention the skepticism part is fox news on the covers away right now has a quote from a north korea offered a stencil south korea telling fox news he was seriously skeptical that north korea had tested this hydrogen bomb on wednesday. based on what you're telling us come ambassad

stuart: ambassador john bolton thank you very much, indeed, sir. >> welcome back.or flooding following the weekend snowstorm. ashley, governor christie is catching some heat for his campaigning? what's going onsome. >> well, yes. he got questioned pretty harshly by a student at a town hall meeting in new hampshire, and chris christie shot back. basically, the student said, why are you here? shouldn't you be back in new jersey following that record flooding from the storm this past weekend, and she said i have friends and family down there that are complaining about the flooding. listen to the sound bite. >> there's been one county that's flooded in the state, one county. that was cape may county. the one county that flooded. so i don't know where from all over the state since we have 21 counties where that's happened. second, i don't know what you expect me to do. you want me to go down there with a mop? >> a little bit of sarcasm as mr. varney would say but, you know, that's typical chris christie, what do you want me to do, go down there with a mop? basically say

american enterprise institute ambassador john bolton with us now. s safer place, do you feel safer? >> of course not. john kerry also said in that exchange when he heard about the boat being captured the first thing he did was call his, a short him that the foreign ministry had not captured those boats, that as the revolutionary guard. that is something to be encouraged about, the revolutionary guards who control the ballistic missile program, revolutionary guards control the nuclear program, and the revolutionary guards seizing our ships and crews and that is a reflection of where the power is. this incident in a way listening to john kerri tells you pretty much everything that is wrong with the administration's policy weather from nuclear-weapons to the hostages and service members up and down, living in a dream world. ashley: iran says we are going to test missiles. i know the answer to this but can we trust these guys? >> no. that reveals a bigger problem as well. the iranians and north koreans have been cooperating on their ballistic missile pro

john. caller: thank you very much for the fairness of this. it was my understanding in the bolton versus the georgia case where sandra cano never wanted an abortion. an attorney traitor by -- an attorney tricked her by putting in the papers that she wanted an abortion. the second thing is, talking to most gynecologist-obstetricians, they feel the life of the mother is really not at stake because we now have a c-section, which can protect both the mother and the baby. this case, roe v. wade, is rooted in griswold. that said that the right to privacy retained to things like contraceptives. contraceptives. isn't it a tremendous stretch to go from, "i have the right to to, "i have the right to kill an innocent child?" the question to melissa, and the gentleman, with all due respect, yes or no, do you consider the baby in the mother's womb a human being? the reason why that is so important is because justice blackmun said if we know that life begins at conception or before birth, we have to revisit this. host: i'm going to let you go because we have a little time and lots of questions
