john bolton handled documents a little bit earlier on your show. we knew what the classified documents were. we knew how to handle them. they're very clearly laid out. lou: does the prosecution that the congress is seeking, does it go forward? >> i think they're going to have a hard time getting it to go forward. i think they're going to argue it's politics. i think it should go forward, and i think they will certainly try. but the democrats will obviously be unanimous in trying to oppose it, and i think it gets very confusing in a political cycle. >> yeah. and i think that director comey's very, very reluctant to actually decide the outcome of a presidential election. i think he understands the historical proportions. but there also has to be some reliance on the judgment of the american people. i said this earlier. i was -- attended an interesting conference where i was at a different conference but cosmetic salesman there. lou: you were peeking in on a superior conference to the one you were attending. >> that's true. anything superior to a bunc

let's ask a former ambassador john bolton.e's a fox news contributor and he unless our nation's capital holding it up with one hand. there is a disturbing pattern with the clinton foundation and favoritism for corporations and various nations who donate heartily to her coffers. >> what a surprise, allegations of pruption about the clinton family. it's hard to describe just how unprecedented it was in 2009 to have hillary become secretary of state and have this company foundation still going. water russell meade ama amal and it to a 19th century. basically you become a monk or nun when you go into clinton unless your name is clinton and you are married to the person who is continuing to run the foundation take in hundreds of millions of dollars while you are secretary of state. kennedy: the participants in this-u.s. public-private enterprise were donors to the clinton foundation who had given through their corporations tens of millions of dollars. and u. s-corporations were encouraged to creed this russian prong which was seeki

ambassador to the united nations, senior fellow john bolton, fox news contributor as well. john, good to see you. what's the difference between visa free travel and just simply releasing refugees and illegal immigrants into europe? because it sounds like the same thing. >> it is the same thing. and, in fact, the crisis that europe has been going through over the past year with literally millions of people transiting turkey, going into greece and then throughout europe, germany, france, the nordic countries and beyond, i think it was directly responsible for it. those people can't get from refugee camps from syria or even farther field in afghanistan across turkey unless his authorities were giving them not just a wink and a nod but if facilitating their travel. so has already used the refugees against europe and threatening to do it again. and cozying up to putin is a clear signal to the europeans that he thinks he can go in a different direction if they don't accommodate him. lou: this is a very delegate play on his part, however. syria, russia, iran, and then the multipola

ambassador to united nations john bolton goes on the record. the president quite arrogant and confident. >> he simply doesn't know what he's talking about. the notion that we had any control over what iran is going to do with the unfrozen assets or the payment in exchange for the hostages is flatly wrong, but even worse, the question is irrelevant. all dollars are equally green. money is fungible. whatever they get from the unfrozen assets, they could spend it on roads and highways. >> what i don't like, among other things about how this went down is that president obama insists this was not a ransom. this was a coincidence. listen to what pastor abdinni, one of the released hostage. >> they said we would be there 20 minutes, but it took hours and hours, and when i asked why they wouldn't let us go, everyone was ready, they had we are waiting for another plane, and until that plane doesn't come, we never let go. >> he said we were wait fog another plane. that's the cash. if this is -- if this release of the hostages dib abedini, is -- why do th

reaction from ambassador john bolton in just a moment.st, let's go to blake burman and washington with the details.

ambassador to the united nations john bolton. now, mr. ambassador, you're smiling.what's funny about this? >> well, you know, there's a thing called the washington gaffe and the washington gaffe is a political leader inadvertently speaking the truth or revealing the truth and i think what john kerry did with that remark was show exactly what the obama administration thinks. they don't believe we're in a war with the terrorists. they don't think that the west is threatened at all. they say it's not the end of the world, just may be a few hundred innocent people being killed every year. so if people would just stop talking about it then you wouldn't have these demands that the administration treat the ideology behind the terrorism seriously. so i think he meant exactly what he said. he just wishes the media would stop covering it so they could get on with their narrative that this is a law enforcement matter and not a war. >> if we were winning the war on terror, i presume secretary of state kerry would like us to broadcast that and report on it. so i have to conclude

he might put in his cabinet, saying he woulddefinitely consider as secretary of state ambassador john bolton . jenna: we will see how donald trump sets the tone for the hours that follow. john roberts, thank you. jon: another day, another series of headline grabbing remarks from donald trump. trailing hillary clinton by eight points in the national poll average and he's painting an increasingly dire picture of a clinton predecessor presidency but in an interview last night he not only acknowledged hemight lose the election, he seemed okay with it, listen .>> at the end of 90 days , i falling short because i'm somewhat politically correct even though i'm supposed to be the smart one and even though i'm supposed to have a lot of good ideas. i go back to a very good way of life but i just keep doing the same thing i'm doing right now and at the end of it, he's going to work or i'm going to have a very, very nice long vacation. jon: chris wallace is anchor of fox news sunday. chris, there are a lot of things donald trump says that are a little surprising to hear, what you make of that comment? >

john bolton had been a state department official.e said you really can't stop someone from going back home, even though he helped us. but what do you make of this type of e-mail when they're talking about public impact? >> it shows you where their priorities are at that particular moment there are a few different issues here at play. what is why are these e-mails being sent unclassified. why is there a private e-mail server in the home of the secretary of state? why were these e-mails released as unclassified e-mails? because they're talking about hanging this man out to dry. the fact is these e-mails seem to be very incriminating, referring to him as a friend, not sullivan's e-mail, but an e-mail from the special envoy. and it's not too complicated to put these pieces together if you're the iranians. and it has a very chilling effect on american national security if anyone else wants to be helpful, to cooperate, they don't want to see this happening to them and that carelessness at the state department in many fashions displayed in

ambassador, john bolton. there are three more americans held in iran and they want 2 bill.s that the deal? >> i think it may even be worse hand that. could be as many as five americans. but the problem is, not the particular terms but that american hostages are now bargain chips in a way even beyond the wildest expectations of terrorists all over the world. what they can get for them in terms of financing their terrorist activities. that's why this prepares dent -- precedent is so pad. apart from the fact that the hostage release and the money were linked in essence to the nuclear deal. so it's one more bad consequence of what was already a bad deal. >> now, we can't get out of that deal. we signed it. but there are these constant provocations. what is the long-term future of the deal? >> well, think we can get out of it. by the way nobody signed it. that's part of the problem. nobody ratified it. it's one of the strangest deals on such a consequential issue i've even. a new american president on day one in his inaugural address could say, this deal was a strategic mistake

harris: ambassador john bolton told me on the air this is like the worst game of "whack-a-mole."mer clinton administration and other administrations, you pound them in the ground in one area, pop up in another. they have a place where they can mass. raqqa, syria, they have a nesting hole for the scorpion i don'ts to train. that is just what you said. >> tora bora, was great tactical operation. it deviated into nation-building which was somewhat insane but, a individual i know, former tank driver for the russian army, who had been in afghanistan during the soviet occupation there, grabbed me, literally looked at me, i was overseas at time, he shook me by the shoulders, he said that was great. that is wonderful what you did. don't stay. don't stay. they're like cockroaches. you step on them, you step on them here, they show up over here. world of jihaddism and muslim extremism, it is generational issue, not going away in our time. when we finally defeat in syria and iraq, we have to be realistic what we're facing. harris: they have a long game. it is really long. that is what gener

so this idea of whack-a-mole, something that ambassador john bolton and i were talking about on the airwhere you pound them into the ground in one place, and they pop up space else. he says it's complicated with isis because they can do that, and they have a nesting ground in raqqa, syria. >> exactly correct. and they've got their home base that exists in iraq and their home base that exists in syria and, yes, you know, the iraqi and with our support in syria and the iranians, unfortunately, and their militias, we have been taking some of the territory away from isis which is a big deal because a that's where they get most of their revenue from. we have broken the back a little on their oil, the black market be oil, but most of the revenue right now is coming from taxing the people that they control. the more land we take away, that's the a good thing. however, they're not stupid. they recognized they were losing some of their power position, so they started flowing some of their people through syria, i through turkey, into europe. yes, there's 18 where they're trying to establish their
