john bolton is not wrong.ocrats and republicans who are opposed to what biden is doing in afghanistan. but nobody disagrees with the idea that the taliban, who has been undefeated for decades, is resurging right now and may cause a problem in the governance of that country. >> i'd agree with that. in what john bolton said the question word is risk. we don't know. having commanded that mission for four years -- by the way, when we had 150,000 troops there, we're now well under 2,000 troops the last four years. let me put it in a numbers perspective for you. from my vantage point, i'd say there's a 1 is in 3 chance this lands reasonably well, that the afghan security forces can go toe to toe with the taliban, that it'll force the taliban to come in and conduct what has been envisioned for a long time and negotiate an end to this, because it's hard to imagine a purely military end to this insurgencesy. 1 in 3 chance it comes out okay, but i'd go with john bolton on the risk. the images of vietnam, the end of that

speaking of alternate titles, former national security advisor john bolton had a different idea for hisre it happened." >> it was the room where it happened. the original title for that book, ambassador bolton wanted to call it hard pounding after the battle of waterloo. we told mr. bolton some people might think hard pounding might have a sexual connotation. [laughter] they were right, that's where everyone's mind goes. i still think they could have compromised between hard pounding and the room where it happened. how about the room where the hard pounding happened? or may be, the hard pounding in the room where it happened. or maybe they should have just have gone with, nobody mustache rides for free. kat, you know what, you will never be in vogue. you're on the wrong tv show. isn't that true? they treat people differently. not fair. >> i'll be okay. i do want to talk about how john bolton wanting to call that book bad it's probably partially your fault. it's hard pounding is his book. he's got his new one coming out called "don't pull out, the case for keeping troops in iraq" [laught

john bolton he said hopefully covid takes out john. that's demented. >> yeah., like dame nan said, i think we found a number of surprising things in the reporting about the way the president talked about the disease and talked about what the country should be doing about it. it was always in relation to him. and what it meant for him. i think this joke about john bolton one we first learned about the guantanamo bay proposal, it made us realize we couldn't rule out anything. if we heard a tip, even if it sounded crazy, we should run down everything we heard. this fell into that. it shows you how he was thinking about the virus and how he was thinking about the country's response. it was all in relation to him and what it meant for him and less so about what you do to protect other americans? >> and in realtime, many thought this might change is when the president himself got covid. a lot of people thought he's going to understand what a kick this is, how hard and difficult it is. he's going to remember most people out there watching don't get access to the speci

ambassador john bolton. he's the author of the book "the room where it happened."dent biden says there are already members of the u.s. military whose parents fought in afghanistan 20 years ago. sending another generation to fight won't change the outcome there. how do you respond to that? >> this is a terribly misguided decision. he's misstated the purposes of the conflict. he's misstated the circumstances. and i fear he's misstated the likely outcome here. look, the american's security interest involved is protects not the people of afghanistan, but the people of united states, the innocent civilians here that could be at risk from terrorist attacks in what will very likely be a taliban-controlled afghanistan. is he just playing foreign policy one day at a time? >> the white house points to the decision by the trump administration to leave afghanistan in may, saying this would have made remaining u.s. troops a target. did that announcement box in president biden? >> of course not. look, this has been a problem since trump began the negotiations with taliban. there

ashley parker, i want to play for you john bolton on cnn tonight we will discuss on the other side. >> trump's propensity began during the transition. i think that has been clearly documented to ignore more moral policies, to engage with foreign governments. >> actually, you're among the living experts on donald trump in the trump administration, does that square with your reporting? >> absolutely, dow was one of the first things that i was struck by when i saw the indictment and read the news, just how easy it would be for someone like tom barrack or anyone really to get in the presidents orbit and influence him in major ways. you could see in another administration someone not disclosing their lobbying ties, trying to do the same thing, but there is an internal structure, there's a traditional way that they are held in policies are debated, and it would be hard for them to get as far that tom barrack allegedly did. this is a president, where the last person to talk to him who calls his cell phone late at night, somebody who stops at the white house unannounced, ended up in the oval

i speoke to john bolton the nigt barrack was indicted despite being trump's former national securityhere is part of what he told me that night. >> i will say just as a lawyer myself, i think the foreign agents registration act is a poorly worded statute. >> yeah. >> and people should know it was written in the late 1930s. so it's been changed since then but written in the late 1930s to deal with not z nagents in the states. >> it is enforcement provisions for a long time we haven't had many cases. big enforcement wing about this converts into almost an honor system without penalties however it's still on the books and that argument about bolton might help in a congressional way but not a court of law where the law is on the books and quite clear. they found in the indictment so far the allegations for intentional obstruction of evidence, obstruction of justice, excuse me, lying to the fbi. those two ladder claims that are alleged don't have a lot of updating to do. either you did it or did not. >> all right. laura, thank you very much. appreciate your time. >> thanks. >>> next, micha

base voters still like them, they may be the loudest, but they're increasingly polls are showing john bolton's it shows that republicans are peeling off from trump and they know he's not just a loser, he's a sore loser who's not going to win again. >> republicans under trump have done so well among people who might not have shown up at elections in the past. these are low-information white voters in rural places. and they might want to take advantage of some of the more convenient ways of voting. and instead of messaging to those folks, whether it's on the policy or on how they can vote conveniently, republicans are in a shortsighted way passing laws to limit ballot dropboxes in a way that could hurt their own voters. i think this is something to be looking at as we go into 2022. trump literally told people in georgia don't go to the polls, don't vote. but when they need voters to show up in a midterm election, they need these low-propensity white voters who trump brought out of the woodwork. are they going to show up when it's harder for them to vote, too? >> it's also something that the whit

like john bolton, during the first impeachment trial, who refused to testify.ost a year later, published his book and verifying everything that trump was charged with in the first impeachment trial. we could have had this done if the senate had been able to convict him during either of the trials. they couldn't or the republicans couldn't be forced to. people didn't come forward in time. >> part of the reason we're looking at this, is what happened six months ago, nine months ago. you can draw a line from hose moments and the conversations we're having, about things like voting rights. you've been hard for senator manchin to move on the filibuster. amy klobuchar spoke about her effort to get him onboard. i want you to listen. >> number one is to get republicans. i don't think that's going to happen. the second thing is, well, senator manchin has indicated some interest in the standing filibuster. that's one way to do it. we could have it focused on voting rights only. we are continuing to work with him and many others to get this done. >> i wonder if you agree.

let's discuss with the former national security adviser to then president trump, john bolton.e house memoir." the new yorker mack zone is reporting that general millie worried that the outgoing president, the outgoing president trump would launch air strikes in iran to start a crisis that could keep him in office. he said, i'm quoting now from the article, if you do this, you're going to have an f'ing war. for the top general to be that concerned about the commander in chief, how astounding is this? >> well, unfortunately, it is not astounding. i was a strong supporter of mark millie becoming the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff because i knew we were in dangerous territory, and i thought he would be the kind of rock he has proven to be. he was very worried both about this wag the dog scenario from donald trump but also generally the misuse of the military getting involved in american politics, something our officers are trained not to accept. and having had the experience of the famous march across lafayette square in the summer of 2020, millie was acutely aware of the d

it's former general john kelly, it's general mattis and john bolton.rump responded by -- with a statement today in which he said in part i never threatened or spoke to anyone a couple of our government, so ridiculous. sorry but the eselection my form of coup and if i was going to do a coup one of the last people i want to do that with is general mark milley. if i was going to do a coup one of the last people i would do it with is general milley. >> what we're dealing with in donald trump is somebody who is clever and smart but is a bit of an imbecile and has no sense of history. in the famous moment when general kelly went to europe with donald trump and donald trump started to praise hitler about the you had a bond and roads and kelly looked at him and said never say anything nice about hitler and i think the late writer george norm ale mail her say in history only a few names get now. the andy warhol will pay mao tse tung. trump saw those more as celebrities because he never did his reading on what the policies did. >> trump denies the story but a so

former national security adviser john bolton was on this network earlier and said the withdrawal would does the military have the ability to respond to the threats inside afghanistan without having a presence inside afghanistan? >> the short answer is yes. absolutely. we have counterterrorism capabilities in place right now. a carrier strike group is not far away -- well, far enough away in the ocean but within reach and facilities to use fixed aircraft as well as manned and unmanned to deal with the threat. it's always easier if you can cut down some of that space and time and get closer. we are in discussions about possible use of facilities there or closer to afghanistan to act more quickly. we are going to have a persistent set of eyes. and it is a greatly reduced terror threat. i recognize there are terror groups there, isis and al qaeda and others in afghanistan, but the threats coming out of afghanistan are not necessarily significant to our homeland and homeland security as they were in 2001. we're seeing the terrorist threat migrate to other areas such as africa. we have to st

new nuggets and him trying to force a foreign power to interfere and it comes out and john bolton said it is real and it is not a thing and then the same thing with january 6, oh, it is just reporting and then we get the full truth and everybody sh not everybody but a lot of the nation are numb and so are the republicans. >> one of the big trump strategies often is just putting the crazy out there and if it is just said out loud and people are just talking about, we get numb to the fact that it is really crazy. this is what happened after the first impeachment. but it doesn't change the fact that these are, you know, deviations from the norms of this country. it is really extraordinary where we are but it does make you wonder, trump is likely to run in 2024. with all of this baggage and republicans are 100% on board the train. >> they're still doing audits. there are people out there that haven't acknowledged that the 2020 election is over. so it is absolutely still present day and he's absolutely someone that we have to talk about because he's very much running the show and one of the

i'm still fuming over former national security adviser john bolton's decision not to testify in trump'srial only to confirm that all the charges against trump were true in his tell-all book which was released over a year later. similarly, it seems like maybe, just maybe, a lot of the information provided off the record in these books might have been useful for senators in the second impeachment trial. on the flip side, we're seeing gop lawmakers like kevin mccarthy once again embrace trump after criticizing his role in the insurrection. how does the pro-democracy wing of the gop, if there still is one, fight against this complicity and at worst fight back against those whitewashing january 6, megan? >> to these books specifically, there's a couple of interesting things about them and their timing. this most recent book you referenced titled "i alone can fix it" is a quote directly from trump's 2016 rnc acceptance speech. it's not like the party didn't know what they were getting into with this wholly unreasonable narcissist that would be elected president. these books are late to the ga

you can see that with john bolton's book. yet, but it has already been widely discussed. it will be a blockbuster and there is no question about it. there are ethical and moral questions about, should that information have been presented in the book, in a different format? those questions don't have answers yet because were in the middle of this change, both in politics and publishing. susan: do publishers make money off of these books? craig: they do. they did not for a while. ronald reagan's presidential memoirs -- he got an advance of around $7 million. they lost quite a bit of money on that one. since about 2000 or so, publishing has figured this out. you mentioned the obama's advance, which was astronomical. michelle obama's books is one of the best-selling in american history at this point. i have to imagine that barack obama's book will do equally well. even better. publishers have started to realize they can sell these books in a certain way. blockbuster publishing is working for them, which is why i don't think it is
