president in a key negotiation like this is the national security advisor john bolton remember he was a key official in the bush administration when it took a very hawkish line against north korea north korea was then part of the axis of evil and john bolton was a key official worked on north korea and the top. the six party talks he was also the u.s. ambassador to the united nations pursuing a tough line against north korea and pursuing sanctions what you need to know about john bolton i think is the title of his autobiography when it comes to north korea the book is called surrender is not an option. and yes of course john bolton is well known as neither he subscribes to the to the theory of regime change which of course would not please the north koreans but what about this issue of the sudden suspension of the joint military exercises with south korea because that came as a bit of a surprise in that a bolt from the blue is completely unscripted so i would imagine that many of those onlookers and now a tiny bit apprehensive as to what the president might come up with might agree to

again john bolton there the news the mainstream media here backs this war on the back invasions when because we're always the good guys john bolton states regime change in venezuela is about the country's oil quote and this is what he said go watch the clip he said it on fox news it will make a big difference to the united states economically if we could have american oil companies invest in and produce the oil capabilities in venezuela so again what i think is you know they're very transparent john bolton is never. obvious caitiff never try to be like a rachel maddow is saying like it's all really about these things in these good good quality qualities about me john bolton has been just raw and just like we want iraq's oil we want venezuela's oil this is what we're doing it for so there are so raw that it becomes more difficult for our so-called allies like in europe germany to continue their sort of you know who are off for bomb and made to look good yes yes you know he's like that marvin gaye of presidents you know just come out there and smooth it we're going to bomb you and take

death squads presumably will be coming to venezuela soon we saw john bolton with that piece of paper saying five thousand troops are going to colombia so quads are going to be a thing you know bill kristol john bolton elliott abrams all these cadavers we have been buried in long gone are being substituted to. terror around the world so yeah the liberals love this dumb thing that the rumor spreading american ideals by shutting down death squads and this isn't the irony that we now live in especially for the baby boomers generation i remember when i was a kid they were all about peace and love now they're all about death squads and murder and rape but they feel good about themselves because they might give to live aid and like bondo and bob geldof and they feel like they're good people and that they're doing this for good reasons but you know at the end of the day it always ends up orrible and here is john bolton again john bolton there the news the mainstream media here backs this war on the back invasions when because we're always the good guys john bolton states regime change in ven

john bolton is the man who persuaded george w. bush to walk out of the a.b.m. treaty and what does he do now what does he do now he persuaded donald trump to walk out of the i.m.f. treated this few things of the earth to. lashawn the world finally to fuel a new cold war as that withdrawal from the a.b.m. treaty and that we go the i.n.f. treaty with role i mean if you want good relations with russia it's a very strange way to go about it ok jeff let me go to auburn here. kind of rushing to do its part of nature and we are going to jeff right now please leave ok jeff i mean what i got going on and you're trying to. make her feel it was a lot more to the world's great if we turn to arrive on time note that just talking to people who respond those are the usual talking points and doesn't really get to know about the reality about jeff what does how does this really kind of a very strange marriage of bolton's unilateralism and what donald trump thinks is american first is this kind of a you should move the two. because that's the only way i think it could work go ah

attempt to consult allies or anything else and so the john bolton the neoconservatives was a rather a good fit for that they because that's what they assured him maybe this is america first we're just going to go ahead and recognize jerusalem as capital of israel to hell with their own else a america first doctrine you heard of the munroe doctrine you know venezuela is in our backyard we can have russia in cuba messing around in our backyard and. syria you know you were you just going to let syria go to the russians or this is america first and i think trump. has to have a reinterpret at the very first year as a kind of neo conservative. full spectrum dominance of the universe it's very interesting analysis lee i saw you were disagreeing there go right ahead jump in. well i i believe first of all very strong the united states is that is much better for the world for the entire world were force for stability were a force for good and bad about is very important article on but our foreign intervention is going to remember a lot of our foreign interventions good for america i mean look a

a minute they have someone who's worked on this for years and they keep him away from the table john bolton yeah that is that is a very good sign for north korea that he couldn't or didn't join the negotiating table why is that what do they think of him the north koreans north john bolton is the national security adviser of the u.s. is normally you'd expect him to be the right hand of the president of things like this but he's very much a hawk on this issue isn't he right if for a very long time john bolton that was against talking to north korea he didn't like the agreed framework that was signed in one thousand nine hundred four and so i think it is a good sign for north korea and what to the north koreans think of john bolton. well well probably they don't want him here in the way. in terms of a possible outlines of a deal that could satisfy both sides and give us a little bit of progress and the start of a process what could we see do you think well some dismantle this mental image of some nuclear missile silos maybe the from getting nuclear test site maybe the. missile launch site and

is policy towards world is thinking on this and flesh we depending on what variant you want to john bolton one or the mike pompei oh maybe the elliott abrams but there's i have a sense that the the unipolarity it's actually over and it's the us trying to comprehend that and and that doesn't mean i know what's going to follow it maybe you can tell us. certainly i think in the sense what's gone on at the moment is not so much the headroom in the still lingering on. what is completely gone is any sense of vision of the future any sense a vision that would motivate the world to want to be american to follow an american . the idea of the order in which we diversity and become modern most human. if you like population within and in the order in the if you like of coercion to be thelma i think the vision is gone but still the power of coastline goes on after the vision has gone and i think might compare this speech in cairo precisely showed it was completely disconnected from reality disconnected from the region i think most people in the region didn't know what he was talking about because they

national security chief john bolton issued another ultimatum to my little advising him to resign quickly or he could end up in guantanamo where the u.s. has a military base for suspected terrorists. despite close coordination and support from the us dismissed accusations that the white house is dictating the terms of regime change. meanwhile spain's foreign minister just separated says the u.s. is pressuring the e.u. to c. style log efforts. this as model and his opponents each prepare to take to the streets to test their strength it's taken at least forty lives in less than two weeks you see in human al-jazeera. the taliban says it like to form an islamic system made up of all afghans now the u.s. appears to be serious about pulling troops out of afghanistan but the afghan president says no agreement can happen without the government's involvement in the battle for one of the last i saw control pockets of northern syria has displaced tens of thousands of people us back kurdish forces have been fighting the armed group and it has sort of the un refugee agency is calling for a transit sit

because you mention like pale that is i like that rapture perspective here john bolton isn't of that ilk he's very different to me while you know with the force regime change in going on in venezuela he was quite open what it's all about it's a. in trade and money it's about peer gemini without all the the trappings of democracy promotion it's a very important point which you're making and you're right i mean what we've seen is the split within the neo conservative movement which had been quite unified and you've got one wing of them which are led by people like david frum another which have always been and t. . and t. autocrats. particularly middle east and autocrats and in favor of democracy is a way of reshaping society cleansing it of the old model and preparing it for installing if you like a different model of society and they have shifted and they've moved over to the democrats and been embraced by american democrats as as a moral vision for the future and bolton and the others cling to old american thinking the so is he to call schmidt which is our what your kate is and it's

secretary of state mike pompeo and the national security adviser john bolton will be there. but john kelly, the chief of staff, has been replaced by nick mulvaney. there is a new u.s. special envoy to north korea who joined the administration. he's been the one going back and forth, meeting with several of the north korean officials including his new counterpart, a new face that will be in the room. that's raising questions of what this is going to look like when they are all in the room together and what the conversation is going to be like. there is going to be a dinner this time. that's different from what happened in singapore. in the dinner it will be only a few people in the room. the people from the u.s. side will be president trump, pompeo, bolton, and a translator. the new u.s. rep won't be there and neither will john bolton. >> right. we know john bolton and steve eagen have different views on how tough the u.s. should be in the negotiations. that will be interesting that they won't be in the room together. stand by. let's go the mj lee on capitol hill. we saw micha

security advisor john bolton outs the measures in late january we're going to announce sanctions against petroleum venezuela associate. were paid a vase as it's known by its spanish acronym the state will monopoly we have continued to expose the corruption of moore and his cronies in today's action ensures they can no longer loot the assets of the venezuelan people. bolton made that announcement off to washington recognized venezuela's open. door as interim president the sanctions included the freezing of all international assets held by the visible one as well in state oil company say prevented us from transferring funds directly to the. we can now bring in oil analyst. thanks for joining us good to have you on the program today venezuela's state all monopolies supposed to be under those u.s. sanctions which have been expanded obviously over the last few weeks and months holly volumes of crude is still entering the u.s. market how exactly does that work. well what you're actually looking at is the energy information administration statistics who are venezuelan oil imports between februa

president trump for abandoning this treaty you know he's being advised by national security advisor john bolton to withdraw from the treaty bolton doesn't like arms control so he's not trying to build up some new treaty he's just trying to to tear down the old treaty i just have to say one thing though in response to the the good intervention by your guest in brussels it's not just president trump who has made the allegation of russian violation this started under president obama so and president obama had a great deal more credibility so i think we're on pretty solid grounds about the nature of the violation but i do agree that the way forward is to find ways to build a dialogue and arms control not to tear down agreements that have worked for so long right ok that probably most cool what happens what happens in the next six months because there's a six month suspension period now before the treaty officially at becomes knowledge level eight does looks good on the development and deployment spree of certain kinds of of missiles and other technology. whoa with the deployment of. longer range cr

the decision to -- after john bolton lobby their u.k.ounterparts to cut off the regime from its overseas assets. on january 29, bloomberg reported -- secretary of state mike pompeo took another step to bolster quite know, -- guido, certifying a national assembly member has a key over -- authority over key bank accounts in the united states. over accountsty of the federal reserve of new york and other insured u.s. banks. toyou think it is too simple compare this to nancy pelosi going out into the street as house speaker, the equivalent of was, announcing herself president and then countries of the world announcing they recognize her as president, and then those countries where u.s. money is say, we are giving the money to her? david: i think that would be too simplistic. this is a plausible interpretation. it is not like e dust loctite bg tight because of the constitution. a legitimateot president, the national assembly president will step in. amy: what it be vice presideden? david: if they are recognizing do b because of constitutiononal

they agood at my request and working with secretary pompeo and john bolton, they agreed to pay yesterday $500 million more towards their defense. $500 million with a couple of phone calls. i said why didn't you do this before? they said nobody asked. it's got to go up. right now it costs us $5 billion a year to defend. as an example south korea. we have a great relationship with president moon and doing great things. north korea is coming along. south korea is an example. south korea is costing us $5 billion a year and they pay -- they were paying about $500 million. for $5 million worth of protection. we have to do better than that. they have agreed to pay $500

jarrett cushion or says in his ear i think it turns a lot on what the national security advisor john bolton turns on presses him on but i think no i think if it's a limited congressional measure which says the u.s. pulls back on some of its assistance he doesn't veto but if it's a war powers measure in which it says congress has the right rather than the president to dictate what should happen i think he will veto that because that's a challenge to his authority catherine your take on this how do you think this is going to play out out. i would agree with them i think it's going to be very difficult i really don't see i mean it really depends because i think if trump's can actually convince mohammed bin sudden monday he too would come with a heavy price like you might actually go along with it that being said i don't think any kind of food politically to antagonize congress for them all you know especially given that we just came out a government shutdown and that there's still the possibility of another so i don't see him doing that again we getting closer to the next presidential election

the make up of his a ministry should john bolton john bolton is no trumps being to all intents he has been trained in this bellicosity there's no issue thrown in the trunk administration on foreign policy he was trained in the unilateral withdrawal of the us from the j.c. p.o.v. the around nuclear deal last year he was training to trumpet ministrations withdrawal from the i and if treaty with russia and he's been trying nests in marsh against venezuela if you examine john bolton's twitter feed you would think it was a padded the i can search on the i could s. of diktats that he is unleashing against ben israel and ordering men to do to accept the amnesty of this and to them president we do and leave the country this is this is route this is room in the guise of a democracy washington is clearly the rule of our times and he's acting as such is an empire which has which reels under missing code over the world with the threat of military intervention is a lashes out jon i'm running very low on time here i want to ask you very quickly if i could i china and russia are a couple of the bigg

humanitarian crisis, maduro insist it's president trump's advisor who are the problem. >> imagine, john boltont abrams group of extremist that surround him has put him through a dead end. >> but bolton isn't blinking. >> it is another to add to honor roll around the figure i welcome it. >> it has been more than three weeks since opposition leader juan claims presidency yet country's military remains firmly behind maduro. >> venezuela has 2,000 generals that is more than all of the generals in every nato country combined. so that tells you where the corruption is. >> sources tell fox news president trump stopped shy of ordering the pentagon to draw military plans. but the prospect of unilateral military international remains high. bolton says it is a too priority for president trump. >> we talk about it several times a day. he's very interested in this. >> the pentagon is also confirmed to fox news that u.s. military planes begun delivering humanitarian aid to the columbian border on monday, president trump will travel to miami to address venezuela americans to make the case that socialist poli

summit go on a daily basis are cia director gina has full, director of national intelligence ", john boltonrs her advisor and daniel senior director for asia on the national security council. those groups of folks have been convening with president trump on a daily basis and i am told they are the ones that are forming hanoi he is looking at this trip. foremost advice that i am told they haven't pressured him about is to get a concrete concession. i know that's not to you but they want to agree to open up one or more of the nuclear site for inspection. ed: that is important information your adding to the conversation. nuclear facility is one that may be on the table potentially shutting it down, put meat on the vote there in terms of john bolton jillian mentioned and he has said in recent days look, there's an open door here for kim jung-un the president can force them through but he's got them at the table and there's a golden opportunity for kim jung-un in terms of economic incentives he may get in the days ahead. >> john bolton is a great man to have in the negotiations at this time. he'

president trump: john bolton, please. >> this national security presidential memorandum that you re about to sign is founded in your and i vampinga has been pursuing and this is critical. very important to the united states to see this development around the world and whole of government approach and everybody is behind it. president trump: great job. >> thank you. i vampinga, it has been great to work with you and sell bait this next step in women's growth initiative. it dovetails with the bipartisan law. this is a critical strategy. n my limited experience in africa, they invest in skills and jobs and children and the future and where the women's entrepreneurship is strong, there is peace. president trump: mark meadows. mr. meadows: ivanka, thank you for your role, and i thank you for your leadership on this issue. but the stories that will be told this you will never be told. the people that will be mpowered and a lasting legacy. president trump: wilbur, commerce has a lot to do what is going on and this is a big part. >> chief goal is achieved and $12 trial to the world g.d.p. in 2025

amy: that is john bolton on fox's nest. >> bolton is like a gangster.n it is about venezuela, he really is harsh. there is no sense in what he says. but he has that something that is true. all of this is about oil. they want maduro out because they want to regain the control they had ovever the venezuelan economy, especially over the bowl ofmpany before the very and revolution. it is the largest reserve of oil and all of the world, and it is free close to the u.s. territory. that is not going to happen with this. we will defend our territory. our people will be defended. we have to sit down -- if they want to invest in venezuela. chevron is in venezuela. if other companies want to invest in venezuela, they have to talk to us and respect venezuelan law, and that is everything. you could not be top link government's, ousting presidents that you have control over the natural resources -- although that is what trump said recently about if you were to intervene in other countries, he needed the loot in order to be paid for what they are doing. this cannot ha

time president trump was in the oval office and arguing for pragmatism or consider the example of john bolton nobody was more republic - - publicly repeated the outspoken that was forced to confront in the obama years before he became trump's national security advisor rightly warning against the siren song of negotiations because you could only always rely on the family to cheat so that national security advisor john bolton he is arranging a second summit and the capitulation of so many figures is probably the most dangerous aspect of the trump phenomenon far more than the president himself with what he enacted. y-letter? because those style of politics he represents is a personal phenomenon as soon as he has left the stage against the barbarians at the gate have chosen to lower the drawbridge so the liberal order under siege that is in defense of perpetuation. so what happened in the 19 twenties and to give yourself to nationalism with the intellectual organization to see the value of knowledge and value of action that the world has ever seen. and with that reputation was short term policy g

on monday steven mnuchin, the treasury secretary, and john bolton, president trump's national security, announced new sanctions against nicolas maduro and what's left of his government. the administration, along with many latin american government, the e.u. and canada, has already withdrawn its official recognition of ma maduro's presidency and conferred instead the title on juan guaido, the head of the national assembly. perhaps more intriguing was what was left very visibly unsaid. while mr. mnuchin announced the new economic measures, mr. bolton stood beside him ostentatiously carrying a legal note pad on which was written the words 5,000 troops to colombia. now, that country borders venezuela. the white house declined to comment but said all options are on the table. is the u.s. really going to deploy forces to help remove mr. maduro? what other channels are available to president trump? and why would the u.s. be taking action against a country that, as bad a state as it's in, hardly seems to pose much of a threat even as the u.s. mill -- military to end in afghanistan and syria? f

you know the national security advisor john bolton has great sway in the white house he's very much behindthis withdrawal from the i.m.f. he doesn't like arms control secretary of state pump goes along with him i think that at some point john bolton will wear out his welcome at the white house national security advisors don't last very long in the white house under trump nobody last very long frankly and if if if a bolton were to be replaced by by somebody more traditional seeing the kind of values of having an arms control agreement in place with russia with russia as most of the u.s. security establishment does then it's conceivable that trump could extend it he could tweak it a little bit he could call it his deal and as long as he can put his name on it and claim it that is a possibility although as i say i think we're grasping at straws all right and coming to you in brussels the weald today and in six months time is this definitely a mood move dangerous place that it was a year ago. oh yes definitely i mean what we're witnessing and i can only agree it was the previous speakers and w

is unitedisan class behind donald trump marco rubio and john bolton as they try a regime changnge in country thy onlyly want to exploit. amy: the significance of them ro,ing as a partner bolsanoa the president of brazil. usually, what happens in these cases is there is an attempt made to make liberals feel good about what the real motives are, we are going to change the regime in libya because we want to help the people be liberated from this dictator. there is an attempt made. here, there is barely an attempt made. they fact that a leading u.s. should in latin america tell you everything you need to know about what the real motives are in terms of what the u.s. government is trying to accomplish. it is nothing good for the people no matter what your view of nicolas maduro is. it is about imposing a far right ideology for the benefit of everybody but the venezuelan people. amy: we want to thank you for being with us. one of the founding editors of the intercept. thank you. that does it for our show. i am amy goodman. thanks for joining us.
