but talked about the statements made by john bolton, that the monroe doctrine is alive. they have not mentioned it yet, but still i believe a beautiful day of the sea does not let the mentality is there completely, but it's good. especially when it comes to the specific political measure or send it taken by the united states. so extremely busy, especially in your style mean we work with oh, countries with no exceptions, with sub regional organizations and latin america is going to go to your school and the caribbean with boston. new gotten me up in the just last year, and i've been in touch with my colleagues from mexico, venezuela, bolivia, brazil, guatemala. you've got a rug nicaraguans honduras, who would believe cuba believes in the polio. and in new york, the since asked the un general assembly session, i tell you to listen to the mat hills where the representative of the central american integration systems. and also with my colleague from argentina on the margin of the g 20 summit shortly. and we have always highlighted, that's what we wanted to have. deep liter s

no longer supports former trump national security, a john bolton's claim that the monroe doctrine is alive. but in practical terms, it seems to me this narrative or this mentality is still very much alive, including in the specific from policies that us promote. we work with every country without exception, including sub regional organizations in latin american caribbean, over the last year alone. for example, i've had context with colleagues from mexico, venezuela, bolivia, brazil, guatemala, nicaragua, honduras cuba belize in new york. on the sidelines of general assembly, i met representatives of the central american integration system. i also had a meeting with my counterpart from argentina on the sidelines of the g. 20 summit. russia has always emphasized its interest in promoting bilateral ties without a political agenda. as for multilateral institutions and organizations, of course, we will defend like most latin american countries, the values, norms, goals and principals of the united nations charter. by the way, last year, venezuela helped set up the group of friends in defe

a john bolton claim that the monroe doctrine is alive use. but in practical terms, it seems to me this narrative of this mentality is still very much alive, including in the specific from policies that lewis remotely, as we work with every country, without exception, including sub regional organizations in latin america and the caribbean of the last year. alone, for example, i've had contacts with alex from mexico, venezuela, bolivia, brazil, guatemala, nicaragua, honduras cuba belize in new york on the sidelines of general assembly are met to representatives of the central american integration system. i've had a meeting with my counterpart from argentina on the sidelines of the g 20 summit. russia has always emphasized its interest in promoting bilateral ties without a political agenda as to multilateral institutions and organizations. of course we will defend like most latin american country of values, norms, goals, and principals of the united nations charter. by the way, last year, venezuela helped set up the group of friends in defense o

unless you're john bolton or jeff sessions, or rudy giuliani or melania or michael cohen or anybody else he's ever known. it's called loyalty. but before he stopped cooperating, meadows handed over a lot of documents to the committee and they discovered a bunch of frantic text messages he got during capitol riot and some came from donald trump's closest advisors. >> fox entertainers frantically texted mark meadows as the capitol riot was happening and urged him to get president trump to stop it. >> hannity urged meadows to tell mr. trump to "make a statement and ask people to leave the capitol"." >> said please get him on tv. >> lawia ingraham saying mark, the president needs to tell the people in the capitol to go home, this is hurting all of us. he is destroying his legacy. >> trevor: this is so amazing! fox news spent the whole year acting like january 6th was nothing, just a few, you know, patriots, just having their voices heard, but turns out that in private they were freaking out about it! freaking out! this is like finding out the flight attendant who has been telling you it's ju

>> i mean, in many respects it harkens back to the criticism of john bolton, right? the idea no, you can't appear to testify for impeachment proceedings or be of service to the impeachment managers for transparency because it might run up against a book publication. mark meadows has published information, he's spoken about it and before having information in a book, he has essentially publicized conversations through non-privileged communications and so cherry picking based on your preference what you give and provide to an investigative committee is shocking and i just reminded congressman dent, you know this well, this is a former member of congress saying there is no authority for congress to investigate and have oversight or have a proper legislative function over an attack on members of congress. i wasn't in the capitol that day. you weren't in the capitol. don, you were not there. we were not the ones immediately in danger but our democracy was. our elected officials were and to have someone say there is no oversight and i'm not going to give the information be

you may remember john bolton refused to testify in the house because he wanted to save it for his bookd he might ever -- his book might not see the light of day because the trump white house was trying to refuse to certify it wasn't classified did he offer to testify before the senate i think in the hopes that would pierce the executive branch's ability to suppress his book. >> cnn is reporting meadows was trying to get government officials pursue baseless election fraud conspiracies. according to one source he reached out to the fbi, the pentagon, national security council, office of the director of national intelligence, also pressured the justice department. those are not conversations with trump. should he be able to answer questions about contacts with those officials? i don't think those would be considered executive privilege. he was reaching out on behalf of the president or trying to help the president. this wasn't just a conversation with the president. >> you are absolutely right. those conversations would not be protected and he may very well try to assert some form of priv

you might remember john bolton refused to testify in the house because he wanted to save it for his bookight never -- his book might not see the light of day because the trump white house was trying to refuse to certify that it wasn't classified did he offer to testify before the senate, i think in the hopes that that would pierce the executive branch's ability to suppress his book. >> yeah. congressman, seeing this reporting that med dozen was trying to get government officials to pursue baseless fraud conspiracies. at one point he reached out to the fbi, the pentagon, the national security council. he also pressured the justice department. those are not conversations with trump. should he be able to answer questions about contacts with those officials because i don't think those would be considered executive privilege. he was reaching out on behalf of the president or at least trying to help the president. this wasn't some conversation he was having with just the president. >> you're absolutely right. those conversations would not be protected and, you know, he may very well try to ass

you faced a lot of criticism for not getting john bolton to testify in that impeachment trial.tem just not equipped to hold people accountable? >> i actually don't think that it is. i think there's got to be a quicker way to add swrud indicate these issues, whether it's subpoenas or other issues, when you've got an impeachment trial going on or impeachment inquiry or something like the january 6th commission. that's something congress should work on, getting courts to adjudicate subpoenas and other issues on a faster track when something like this is on stake. really, the commission has three general goals. and i think that bennie thompson, the chairman, is actually carrying them out pretty well. the first one is transparency to get the whole story out to the american people about what happened. the second one is holding people accountable including making referrals to the department of justice for criminal prosecution. and then the final piece is doing everything you can to make sure that this doesn't happen again. >> so holding people accountable, how are they being held acco

this book, didn't they do that to john bolton? there's executive privilege. >> history repeating itself. >> thanks so much. >>> and we're learning president biden will speak with russian president putin on tuesday amid growing tensions over russia's military build up with ukraine intelligence shows russia is ramping up their show of force and could amass up to 175,000 troops. that's prompting fears russia could launch a military offensive within weeks. joe johns is at the white house. joe, moscow, the kremlin rearing its ugly head again. russia's leaders have the country of ukraine on edge and i guess the white house, too. >> that's for sure. in fact, just underscoring that, jim, we got a statement a few minutes ago from jen psaki, the white house press secretary, about the video call that's going to be held between joe biden and vladimir putin now scheduled on tuesday. i'll just read this statement. it says the president is going to hold a secure video call with putin on december 7th. the leaders will discuss a range of topics an

concentration camps exactly the right thing to do, according to his former national security adviser, john bolton meeting with putin, which biden warned any russian invasion of ukraine would be met with military and unprecedented economic sanctions. but despite that stark change in tone when it comes to dictators, what is almost as significant is seeing more businesses put billions at risk to stand up to the chinese government. like women's tennis association, which last week announced a suspension of all tournaments in china in response to beijing's silencing of sexual assault allegations made by peng shuai against a former tom p communis party official. several clothing and apparel companies condemned the use of slave labor, provoking china's ire. this kind of a spine is a stark departure from retreats we have seen in the past, like the nba's apologies when the houston rockets general manager tweeted in support of act visitivists i kong. mercedes apologized to the ccp for quoting the dalai lama in an ad. sev perhaps one of most absurd examples was actor john cena's over the top hostage file vid

we didn't hear testimony from john bolton in the senate trial on the first time he was up for impeachment. there are so many times that the congressional investigators wanted to hear from people around the president and because president trump used the courts and used these claims to delay, as you say, and put things off, lost traction, became moot over time, and it succeeded in keeping information out of the public sphere. we have a different justice department now than we did under president trump. merrick garland takes these things a little bit more seriously than the trump's justice department did. even now the prosecution of steve bannon for criminal contempt for not cooperating, will not elicit testimony because the trial won't be held until july. it's supposed to punish the behavior. it means this committee won't hear from steve bannon any time soon. mark meadows is watching that closely. we will see how he, you know, acts in response, but i think you're right. if the strategy seems to be delay, go to courts, see if you can push it off as long as possible until it's no longer relev

. >> i listened to the words of john kelly, john bolton, michael cohen who know donald trump very well run because he doesn't want to risk losing. that said, running in 2024 is not the only talk of a trump comeback this week. in particular congressman matt gaetz said he's talked to donald trump about this scenario making the former president speaker of the house if republicans win a majority in 2022. what's your reaction to that? is that even in the republicans' best interests? is it in donald trump's best interests? >> i mean, first of all, that's not even constitutional because the former president would have to run, be elected as a member of congress, then be voted by the majority of the party. donald trump has no interest in running for congress. i don't think donald trump has any interest in being speaker of the house. it's a difficult job, alex. you have to understand the various machinations of the house. it's complicated, as we have seen under democratic and republican leadership. i think matthew gaetz is trying to make some news as he typically does. i am not playing a lot of

. >> john bolton was trump's national security adviser. >> if he could convince people that what he wantedould try to do it. >> in the weeks before he took office donald trump would launch the phrase he would use to get away with almost anything. >> you are fake news. >> with those two words, donald trump had told his supporters they no longer needed, nor could trust the institutions, the official accounts, the news outlets that dedicate themselves to present actual facts. from now on, it was trump who would tell them what to believe. >> a few days ago, i called the fake news the enemy of the people and they are. they are the enemy of the people. >> he would lie about anything. >> just remember, what you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening. >> he could have told folks that grass is actually blue and the sky is red, and he would have had some segment of his followers believe him. there is a cult-like phenomenon as it pertains to trump. >> somebody had to do it. i am the chosen one. >> this might sound extremely strange to a lot of your viewers but i feel like he was an
