ambassador to the united nations, fox news contributor, john bolton. your reaction to the young man being sentenced to 10 years? jail after being held for almost a year by the iranians. john require's a callous example of how regimes like iran and north korea treat human beings. otto warmier came home to die after the worst you could say was a student prank. the obama administration that this nuclear deal with iran and among other things would cause lilies to grow in the streets and iran's behavior would change. it hasn't changed except it's getting worse. lou: the obama administration unsuccessful in the latter months of presiden the presidens term. the united states, six months under president trump. this is a slap in the face as the deadline for recertification has arrived. this country right now does not seem to possess either the capacity to respond when one of its citizens is held like this, to react and to make something happen. i can't think of an instance in the last 20 years where pane american held has resulted in the u.s. action. and i cann

john bolton here to respond.elissa: the failure to fix obamacare as members of the house are leaving for august recess. are you serious? what it means for the trump administration going forward next. how can they go home? they've done nothing. >> i never heard that phrase when the members of the house and senate ran successfully on repealing and replacing obamacare. i didn't hear them say limit the edges, cut and shave here and there, and i think this is why frankly the congress has such a low approval rating. you totaled your brand new car. nobody's hurt, but there will still be pain. it comes when your insurance company says they'll only pay three-quarters of what it takes to replace it. what are you supposed to do? drive three-quarters of a car? now if you had liberty mutual new car replacement™, you'd get your whole car back. i guess they don't want you driving around on three wheels. smart. with liberty mutual new car replacement™, we'll replace the full value of your car. liberty stands with you™. liberty m

ambassador to the united nations, fox news contributor john bolton. the syrian ceasefire. it's holding. one day it's been. but you talk about almost immediate progress. putin and trump have achieved it. john: we'll see how long it lasts. lou require only said that so you can say that. john: these ceasefires have not had a long-term impact. i think there is a bigger issue because of the obama strategy for going after isis that in part gives trump a dilemma. as iraq expands its control over mosul, the iranians are actually now building a physical bridge across the territory of the baghdad government linking up with the assad regime in syria, the hezbollah because the obama administration didn't have a strategy for what happens after isis is defeated. the iranians had a strategy, the syria have a strategy, the russians have a strategy. their strategy is coming into place as isis is eliminated. lou: it seems the trump strategy you are leaving. >> biggouambiguous. that's the destruction of isis and the retaking of mosul. this is a different administration

ambassador to the night states john bolton getting in the chair. what is going on behind closed doors. will they get the condemnation against korea. they are permanent members. they are about to meet them. the former ambassador in belgium. on this first full trading day. they are kind of taking a back seat. the inside scoop in the power that gave the dow jones industrial a leg up. and then of course they lock -- lost that. oil is plummeting. we are less than an hour to the closing bell. let's start the countdown. breaking is we want to dip into the camera shot we had right now of what is happening at the united nations here in new york city. we have un security council officials they are gathering to discuss what to do with what some are calling the most difficult issues they have yet to have to face. see aggression from north korea. it just got ramped up. we will bring you all of the breaking headlines as they come in. it's all about a divided set at this hour. they showed a growing risk. they are unwinding the 4 trillion-dollar balance sheet and

john bolton, lied to his face? unheard of in diplomatic circles. what has produced this behavior on the part of putin? >> putin has lied about this before. and copy not surprised he lied about it today. but it's a lesson for donald trump and rex tillerson. this is the way russians perform. what they say is only coincidentally related to the truth. so before we talk about the ceasefire in syria or russia's involvement with iran's nuclear program or north korea's nuclear program. let's remember what putin is prepared to do in the face of overwhelming evidence that russia did try to interfere in our elections. lou: what is the specific intervention in our election and what did it produce? john: i don't think it produced anything. and i think it's a separate issue. lou: what specific intervention of which we have absolute proof? john: what people who have seen the intelligence said uniformly, republican and democrat alike is they tried to manipulate the voting itself, but tried to bring -- putting information that caused a breakdown of trust weren't sy

i spoke to john bolton who had a similar experience. my sense is it will get back to where it's very structured. up have an extraordinary leader in the chief of staff. and i think they have got to come back in september, labor day and start rolling. >> with all of your experience in these administrations, how does this current white house compare to your experience in the white house? >> i only compared it could days in my own personal experience. one was when richard nixon got thrown out of office. and the other was the day reagan got shot. this has been a chaotic administration with lots of fights and lots of battles. the president is very unique. but my sense is this is a general as chief of staff who will give him order and structure. he knows how to work the hill. leon panetta was his aid. reporter: we'll continue our conversation with you throughout the hour. the white house condemning north korea's launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile. president trump vowing to take tall necessary step toins sure the security of the am

form ear ambassador to the united nations, john bolton. bassador, what is the message to vladimir putin with this bill? john: i think the sanctions are respect to russia are a clear political signal about congressional disapproval of russia's efforts to meddle in our election. but the form and approach the sanctions take are against individual or entities that would be designated as violating the terms of the sanctions, it's a weak way to approach sanctions. if you are going to use them you ought to use them in a big comprehensive, thorough way. i'm not looking for change in russian behavior as a result. >> you talk about broader, stronger sanctions, do you think something should have bench tougher? >> the energy area in particular, those sanctions have been further watered down. i think instead of talking about businesses that have in some sense affected conditions in the ukraine or might have been involved in tampering with our elections, you need to go after entire sectors. ban all russian banging institutions from doing business in the

john bolton will weigh in. speak our number one priority is to dismantle the disasters deal with iran. i have been in witt business a long time. i know dealmaking. let me tell you. this deal is catastrophic. it is a bipartisan staff. bipartisan's committee. in's and intel, we work well together. our main goal see how we get the commerce of the american people. we have jobs, deserve finding, it is not sure who the person is, and is not a witch hunt it, it in the facts what they our intel committee is working diligently to get that presented to us in the proper people in front of us. >> bill: some of the chump team believe they're using this program, speak to spy on them. do you believe that happened? >> i have not seen any indication of that whatsoever. i am not. with the greatest intelligence committee in the world. there's a lot of them and countries, but the u.s. intelligence committee is the best in the world. it is a blue ribbon standard, and everyone looks to, and they have done a great job. i have confide

ambassador john bolton who knows those halls well.rthel: the new white house communications team trying on their new positions. wall street financier anthony scaramucci coming on as new communications director, a move that sent sean spicer pack. spicer's former deputy sarah huckabee-sanders to take over as press secretary. kristen fisher is live with more from the white house. what will scaramucci do differently from sean spicer? >> he said he wants to do thee things right off the back. he wants to reset the culture within the white house communications department. and he wants to stop the leaks. and he's willing to take dramatic action to do just that. he wants to focus and refine the message coming out of this white house. if we can dig deep on point number two. you get the sense the staff shakeups aren't over yet. that could include firing current white house staffers. >> if the leaks don't stop, i'll pare down the staff it's not fair to the president, it's not fair to america or the people in the government. something is going on

ambassador to the united nations john bolton says he thinks that is a mistake. >> i think the straightforwardch this in america's interest is to get loose from the restrictions of this deal and treat iran as the threat it remains two years after this deal was agreed to. >> the trump administration waited until about two hours before the deadline to officially announce that the u.s. and the trump administration for the second time was going to certify that iran is complying with that nuclear agreement. in a letter from secretary of state rex tillerson, paul ryan certifying, he writes -- congress requires the administration certify this agreement every 90 days. hours after certifying that, the state department announced that it is deploying 18 outfits of people. these are sanctions that are separate from the nuclear agreement. that is the administration's approach here. working with the europeans to try to strengthen some of the nuclear provisions. the problem for the administration's iran has already received many of the agreement benefits. tens of million dollars of unfrozen assets and lifted

the under secretary of state for arms control at the time was john bolton. when the negotiates were con fronted on this reality and the absurdity of giving north korea light reactors they had believed that a the north korean regem had collapsed before they got the nuclear weapon. with russia and china participating then secretary of state conned lisa rice believed they had dismissed the apparatus again in exchange for the aid. we're going to get out of the business producing nuclear weapons. a nuclear complex seemed like a good measure, but it contained traces of enriched uranium denied north had with the first nuclear device followed by the obama era. it's clear that we can't repeat the same approach, failed approach of the past. rather than pressing our strategy to the point of some kind of miscalculation on the part of the north koreans or others for that matter, the important thing would be to keep the pressure on the chinese to try to see if we can't get north korea to the negotiating table. but president trump has effectively written off the chinese as

i worked for both, andy card and john bolton. as assistant to the president woe could go to the president whenever we wanted but that's a chaotic process so all of us, we all coordinated everything through the chief of staff and that is good for a couple of reasons. it's good for the president because you have a one-stop filter and it's good for the staff to know that you have somebody you can go to. it's very important that that person have the confidence of the staff, that you know the chief of staff is an honest broker that you can go to them with concerns or ideas or requests to see the president or requests to talk to the cabinet, whatever it might be, the fact that they're an honest broker makes a huge difference and i think one of the things that happened unfortunately for reince priebus is it was clear because that the president did not have his back, that he didn't have full confidence in him which then allowed the staff to sort of all melt away and figure out a way to get around the chief of staff to get to the presiden

kremlin or let down his party and try and go against the will of congress political commentator john bolton and he told us he thinks trump should veto the bill in order to exercise his authority you know in my estimation of donald trump i don't think he cares that much about what an opposing senator in opposing congress thinks about him his votes came from the american people he is the head of the executive branch of the u.s. government the executive branch leads in foreign policy under the supervision of congress and what's happening here is congress is attempting to take over presidential powers and as the president the president must veto this if he wants to retain his focus our it's possible that somebody might be advising trump to let them play their game a little bit but i am relatively optimistic. and as we've been reporting on r.t. there are also fears in the e.u. that the proposed sanctions would hit european companies the german economy ministers criticized the u.s. over the planned she says the washington has abandoned the shared position on anti russia sanctions and even suggest

having an open conference in paris which was addressed by a number of american luminaries including john bolton and it just seems very odd. that we in a we claim somehow iran is a sponsor of international terrorism meanwhile. you know you have very prominent americans fraternizing with the enemy kay and there was a time when the us was directly supporting the m.e. k. against iran. and so you know i just see this incredible disconnect between the reality of the situation and what the us is trying to do to iran and in the region in general and you mentioned that you went on a tour of what used to be the civic torture center so can you explain what the survivor was than what you witnessed while you're on that tour yes and first of all i asked for this tour it wasn't that people suggested it i knew about the sock this sock was created by the central intelligence agency it was created after the cia overthrew the democratically elected president mohamed moses decks are you prime minister in one nine hundred fifty three because he wanted to nationalize iran's oil industry for the benefit of iranians t

ambassador john bolton has some insights. senator ted cruz says he has the remedy for the gop healthcare plan. how will it work? and will fellow republicans get on board? billionaire facebook founder mark zuckerberg is pushing universal income. one state is trying to get on board. is it doomed? we'll have that and more tonight. i'm dagen mcdowell in for kennedy. a huge day for president trump. the commander-in-chief in europe ahead of his meetings with the world's most powerful leaders, an wasted no time framing his trip as a chance to push american values, and to make his case that the civilized world is in a fight with threats across the globe. >> the fundamental question of our time is whether the west has the will to survive. do we have the confidence in our values to defend them at any cost? do we have enough respect for our citizens to protect our borders? do we have the desire and courage to preserve our civilization in the face of those who would subvert and destroy it? dagen: the president made those comments in pola

lou: former ambassador to the united nations within fox news contributor, john bolton. t going after sessions. he gave him some room today saying if he got himself straightened out, things could be worked out. the reality is jeff sessions disappeared here. john: i think sessions should go see the president. i think they should sit down and work this out. i think if the president is dissatisfied with somebody, he has a perfect right to replace him. lou: chuck schumer said they ought to talk about it. he would be the first one to scream that the president was intervening in the process. john: i think this is a matter between the two, trump and sessions. and i think the sooner they sit down we'll have a resolution. the president is the embodiment of the executive power. the supreme court said the attorney general is the right hand of the president in taking care that the laws be faithfully executed. this is presidential decision making and it's entirely appropriate. lou: i'm going to clean this up. i was about to use a bad word. what in the world is this country doing forge

ambassador bolton, what do you expect next? >> john: i don't know what the senate is going to do, but i want to say looking at this entire six month period in the house and in the senate, this has been a collective disaster for the republican party. even on the house has passed a bill, watching that sausage being made was not pleasant, and this in a performance is even worse. people need to decide whether we believe what we say. i would go a lot farther than repealing obamacare, i would think there are enormous changes that need to be made and federal involvement in the health care industry, doing everything we can to limit it even more and try to create more of a marketing health care since the great society, it's all but in the wrong direction, but let me say this, if republican party doesn't get this done and a substantial way, they will pay in the house and senate, a real price in november of 2018. don't kid yourself here, this is a serious failure of responsibility. it doesn't look like we're ready. >> sandra: you for that sentime

i'll take it up with john bolton. dearthere's no other way to say this. it's over. i've found a permanent escape from monotony. together, we are perfectly balanced. our senses awake. our hearts racing as one. i know this is sudden, but they say...if you love something set it free. see you around, giulia i am totally blind. and non-24 can throw my days and nights out of sync, keeping me from the things i love to do. talk to your doctor, and call 844-214-2424. i'start at the new carfax.comar. show me minivans with no reported accidents. boom. love it. [struggles] show me the carfax. start your used car search at the all-new carfax.com. kennedy: we'll stand up to the united states, that from the iranian president. he says his country is not afraid of the trump administration. trump issued new sanctions on iran for quote breaking the spirit of the nuclear deal. my next guest says it's time for the president to scrap the iran deal and put the safety of the american people first. i actually agree with you. >> shock, shock. kennedy: it's something i was most of intrigued b

eric: ambassador john bolton. the senior member of the gates institute. the president said there will be success one way or the other. what way do you predict will actually work. john: the chinese have to wake up to the fact that we have a different kind of president than the last three. this is a policy we have had for nearly 25 years that failed utterly for 25 years. i think the chinese need to know because of the progress north korea made, we are a lot closer to the use of military force. if everybody wants to avoid military force, there has to be another answer to north korea. i think the way you end the threat of north korea's nuclear program is by reuniting the peninsula. eric: how do you achieve that? john: you say we can do this the hard way or easy way. if you agrate' in china's interest to unify the peninsula, providing a powerful incentive for japan to get nuclear weapons. there are things we can work out with china that won't threaten them. there don't need to be american troops on th. eric: you say one issue could be sanctions. we just sanctio

john bolton, never a fan of this.a lot during our time, writing an op-ed on the hill today. the last six months iran has made six more months of progress towards posing a mortal threat to america allies carried about north korea and now consider the cost of betting wrong. steve, since you brought up north korea, how much of a bad is this? do you still think there's about north korea may be developing a nuclear weapon, that iran is developing a nuclear weapon behind her back? >> yeah, i think they still are. they did a pretty good job to think that they are not going to have something downloads since the agreement is kind of high in the sky. when you had their cooperation with north korea and use their nuclear weapons come at things like our ballistic missile defense technology becomes that much more important as a backstop. i understand president trump has problems getting rid of this deal, so he's going to have to do some of to back up data and protect those like the redesign and other things to protect us from the b

clear this has to be taken more seriously than the past, but i really believe former ambassador john bolton has the right idea. there's nothing that's going to make this better, short of a reunification of the koreas and putting an end to the madman's leadership of north korea. yes, that sounds bold. yes, that sounds surreal that we would have to be talking like that. but you cannot wait until north korea hits a west coast city with a nuclear device and say my gosh, we should have done something. we can't do that. that would be way more of a blunder than anything and not taking the japanese seriously back just before pearl harbor. liz: to your point about regime change. three administrations have tried and failed diplomatically with north korea. president trump is clearly frustrated with china. china, south korea and japan are integral players in the idea of fixing what's going on with the problems of north korea. the president warning beijing, the u.s. is prepared to take action. tweeted before leaving for the g20 -- now, governor, the president will meet with chinese president xi jinping
