ambassador to u.n., fox news cryp contributor john bolton. >> time is so short, hard to see how any of them could work with north korea, we've negotiated with north korea for 25 years on this question. during which time north korea has repeatedly committed to giving up nuclear weapon program, and lied about it. my view, looking at history, there is no point in talking to north korea, they are happy to talk, it buys them time, they use to increase so physcasio -- so s so -- sophistication of the nuclear program. you should exhaust diplomatic options, but what north korea did, by firing this missile over japan, demonstrating it could hit japan. and hit guam which would be within the estimated range of this missile, is they have not back down one irky o irky on iota, we have to consider military option, not because we think it a great idea, not because we want to run risk today, but because we don't want to run the risk tomorrow of the innocent american civilian population held hostage by this rogue regime. trish: we can't allow them to have that opportunity. i hear you on that. and presi

as bass doer john bolton. how does the president prioritize these things.fically with north korea? >> i think this is extremely serious. when you launch a missile it's clear the missile could have landed on that territory which would be an attack. i think this missile in particular was a way in telling us we could hit guam if we wanted to. but we fired it in a different direction. there is no indication any missile defense battery from japan, south korea, united states, attempted to engage this missile. >> should she have shot it down? >> absolutely. what worries me is we didn't collectively sprt ability to do it. if a missile like that comes towards the united states we aren't as adequately well testifieds we could have been if barack obama hadn't disliked missile defense. there is no blinking at this reality. it's not because of what trump did, he inherited it. kennedy: let's talk about what north korea might do. you have much greater expertise in this area. it doesn't seem as though they we just lob one missile. if they knew they were going down, they wo

ambassador to the u.n., he is a fox news contributor john bolton. e you, john. >> glad to be with you. liz: will sanctions be enough to stop iran from sponsoring terrorism and icbm production? >> these sanctions will not do it, like many sanctions from the obama era, the sanctions apply with those dealing with russia, north korea as well, are of the kind of targeted sanctions that are intended to be aimed at individuals or companies or government entities that in this case support terrorism or other conduct that we're trying to go after. the trouble is when you target sanctions, you allow people to get around it. if you target the abc corporation, you will find there's a cutout called the xyz corporation doing the same thing, i think to be effective sanctions need to be much more sweeping. this is a step in the right direction and sends a political signal. i don't think unfortunately it will affect iran's behavior on terrorism really or anything else. liz: ambassador, iran claims it's the u.s. that violated a 2015 nuclear deal by passing the new sanc

i think john bolton is someone who remains a key player.ht one. >> i think that -- a couple of things here, dana, one is you have use and south korea still going ahead with military practice i think -- it is a ten-day practice but begins august 21st. that -- that creates a lot of anxiety among the north koreans. nonetheless it is important i think for the u.s. to say we're resolute and not backing away. i notice that south korea doesn't think trump's language is helpful. i do notice the chinese don't think so but the chinese based on what happened at the u.n. and what is happening behind closed doors are sending signals to the north koreans they should cut down on rhetoric. >> i heard people saying trump's rhetoric was too much. >> when i see photos of kim looking at like a mask on -- on his table of where he's going to hit, it makes me scared. that doesn't scare me. i think -- i think real countries are looking at computerized three dimensional spatial technology about where to hit. he's looking at a map from the 1950s. i'm not worried abo

ambassador to the u.n., john bolton and ambassador, there are those that -- john mccain actually suggested trump may set this guy off and then diane feinstein said that president's remarkssa were bombastic and may further isolate them and they wanted bilateral negotiations with people that have never kept an a agreement in their life. what are your thoughts?? >> we've had 25 years of efforts of negotiations with theff north koreans to change their behavior, to get them to give up the nuclear program. we failed for 25 years. there is zero evidence that today in year 26 that is going to be any different. we are past that point, tragically. trump has inherited a very dangerous situation. that's what he is coping with.ly can i say word on his comments about fire and fury? i don't know what went on in the white house to get him to say that but i thought they were entirely appropriate remarks. for too long, we have heard american political leaders say all options are on the table. they say it in a deep voice, very slowly. nobody cares about that anymore. what trump did was say to a principal aud

ambassador to the united nations, fox news contributor john bolton. ambassador, great to have you with us. first, your reaction to what's going on in the great district of columbia. i mean, these people are amazing. you can't get them to work while they're there, once they're gone, there's nothing they seemingly won't do or say to get their name in ink. >> honestly, what congress needs to do is pass a tax cut, tax reform bill. the obamacare debacle, i think, will haunt them in districts as i believe you were saying. but honestly for the sake of the economy, this tax cut is critical. we've spent nearly seven months before abandoning the terrible idea of a border adjustment tax. lou: now we've got geniuses, by the way, so you know, there are other geniuses who want to raise taxes on other forms and dismiss the deductibility of mortgage interest payments. you've got -- you've also got this happening within the administration itself, if -- if, fake news is to be believed at all. >> i'd hate to sound political, but it's not just the kick we need for the ec

john bolton -- ambassador john bolton on the sean hannity last night.e agreed with you and what he thinks the problem here is. let's play that soundbite. >> we can blame barack obama for the fix we are in today. he guided the administration plan for missile defense and we are very much at risk because of obama's policies. i don't think we have the time. we've got much to decide whether we will allow north korea to have the capability to put nuclear warheads essentially anywhere they want inside the united states. cheryl: is he right? >> i think he's spot on. president rabbani had the policy. we can't give it to the most important part of the world when you got the military, you have a sequestration which there's so much damage to the military power. we would need a possible situation with north korea. you can project power and strength to deter somebody like kim jong un if your military is suffering. i agree with the ambassador 100%. lauren: what can we do to protect ourselves? if we pull up a map, they can strike major cities including new york city an
