then my exclusive interview with john bolton. why he thinks we are not taking the former president's threats seriously enough. plus, pride month under attack. why progress is being lost as the 11th hour gets underway on this tuesday night. >>> good evening once again, i am stephanie ruhle and we are now 147 days away from the election and today the president son, hunter biden, was convicted on all counts in his federal gun trial. the jury deliberated the three counts for just three hours. president biden says he accepts the outcome of the case and will always be there for his son. here is my colleague ryan nobles with more. >> reporter: tonight president biden arriving in delaware, hugging his son on the tarmac after hunter biden became the first child of a sitting president found guilty in a criminal trial. >> no one in this country is above the law. >> reporter: it took three hours of deliberations for 12 jurors to unanimously determine hunter biden guilty of three felony counts. for lying about his drug use on a federal backgr

john bolton has been warning about this for years. in 2023 he wrote trump only cares about retribution for himself and it will consume much of the second term. thank you for being here. i wanted to talk to you, trump is clearly not shy about saying he will get revenge on his perceived enemies in the second term. are we taking his threats seriously enough? >> i do not think enough people are. when you hear trump saying things like retribution can be justified, what he means is i am saying retribution can be justified and i think he has a list of adversaries he wants to go after and i think the justice department under his administration will be under chaos as he tells his appointees to go after people whether they have grounds to do it or not. those lawyers will tell you about their legal integrity but it will put the judiciary under a lot of pressure. >> you may be on that list, are you concerned for your own safety? >> i am concerned about a lot of people he made it clear he wants to go after. he tried to suppress my book and he trie

. >> like john bolton. i was on a panel with him interviewing him actually a few weeks ago and he basically said foreign leaders think of donald trump as a laughing full. >> i did not watch the panel but you know what john bolton did not say during that panel? i'm going to guess that we said donald trump is the world's most dangerous person he did not say that he's voting for joe biden so let's move that in the back row. let's talk about what joe biden did this week. he has had several policy successes in the last few days. the inflation reduction act has reduced the prices on 64 more drugs. the number of uninsured people in the country is at a record low and there has been a 40% drop in illegal crossings at the southern border since the president's executive action. that is just this week. from a policy perspective, donald trump, we've heard almost nothing. the only things he has told us about what he would do to address inflation -- we now have 17 former nobel prize winners saying his policies would be li

jordan (voiceover): this is john bolton, the most republican of republicans. he served under three republican presidents, including trump, saw the invasion of iraq, and did some light geopolitical meddling. as somebody who has helped plan coup d'etat, it takes a lot of work. imagine ronald reagan is caught in amber in 1988. i'm using jurassic park technology. he wakes up now unthawed. what does he think of the modern gop? well, certainly, the trump wing of it, he would be appalled by. it's just antithetical, not just to the philosophical beliefs of ronald reagan, but to the positive attitude about america and its prospects. so reagan wakes up and he's shocked? right. and he's also like, what is this internet thing? maybe we should send steven seagal over there to kick putin's ass. wait a minute, steven seagal already lives there. this is all too confusing. let's just go back to ignoring aids. i think he'd be stunned that the republican party had anything to do with donald trump. what is trump's infatuation with putin? well, i think he has a fascination with au

john bolton, thanks so much for your time. we really appreciate it. >> glad to be with you. >> thanks. >> i had how republicans and democrats alike are looking to leverage former president trump's historic conviction as the race for the white house appears to be razor-thin. you're in the cnn newsroom the assignments are going on, and the tornado here. >> i'm thinking language to die and i thought that was it. >> finally earth with the liev schreiber premiers tomorrow with nine on cnn, right now, pet dander skin cells, mold spores, pollen, and dirt are being sucked into your air ducts, get cleaner air and system efficiency. now, with stanley steamer, your air ducts are clean until they're stanley steamer clean new lozi hop role massaging bone, easy to grip the massage and the power of two mac strength pain relievers is works fast. >> he makes it less new i see how pro massaging bomb they say we should stop eating so much meat so we made meet out of plants because we aren't quitters impossible. we're solving the meat problem wit

i'm going to speak with trump's former national security adviser, john bolton houlton to get his take on it the most anticipated moment of this election. >> and the stakes couldn't be higher. the president and though former president, one state, which are two very different visions for america's future that cnn presidential debate. next thursday 99 live on cnn and streaming on max by iphone 12 with the super fast five g and a dual camera system, then get real unlimited data on the silver unlimited plan for just $20 a month for a whole year? that's $300 in savings, less dollars, more sets now it's straight talk and that's why i never drive those guys bodies all were big guy retired if i don't want to get my truck dirty with whether tech laser measured for liners front and rear a seat protector and full bet protection trucks are totally covered. >> you just got whether tax buddy, let's get dirty dr. worry-free with these american made products, whether tech.com, this is a futurama go daddy arrow creates a logo website, even social posts and minutes ai ai law who wants to come see the ge

john bolton just told me some weeks ago in an interview that the song should face the death penalty. on the other hand, of course, the liberal filmmaker, michael moore, who many of of us actually might know from as film bowling for columbine, a celebrated to plead u. s. a happy day. it is interesting to call the me the president by the no former president trump has commented on the play deal yet, and i wouldn't be surprised if a real good aust. during the presidential debate this the 1st day everything about the deal. let me know the average over the past decade, there has been a significant show of support for massage across europe. and in can we say of the same about the united states spelling the us the public. this course on the sauls and other was lowers like snowden, or manic, for example. and the scope of press freedom versus espionage act tends to be more critical of compared to many european countries, especially germany. i would say uh, the differences in attitudes actually may stem from the fact that many americans have family members who served or are serving and active d

trump's former national security advisor is an absolutely crazy russophist, john bolton warns.mselves to a visit to cuba. they will also visit other allied states in the region, venezuela and nicaragua. in general, washington is preparing for a new caribbean crisis, although it proceeds from the fact that there are no nuclear weapons on board our ships in cuba, who knows, look, a salvo of twenty-one salvoes greets the arrival of the russian frigate gashkov at the port havana and the old cold war alliance against america are being revived. a stronger signal than that, this is the largest convoy of russian warships i've seen arrive here in many years, and these are, of course, some of the most sophisticated weapons systems that vladimir putin... has deployed to cuba in many, many years. for the past few days they have been sneaking along the coast of florida, approaching the port of govana. in the morning we already saw the arrival of one of the most modern frigates of the russian fleet. and now there is a nuclear submarine. there are sailors standing on board this submarine. i h

then named for the first time this idea about some red lines was voiced, this idea was voiced by john boltonat this conference, who was the main speaker from the united states of america. as a result of this conference, it took place immediately after the well-known events. wrote a letter to gerhard schröder, who was then chancellor of germany, this letter consists of eleven very important points, this is actually a road map of the long-term plan for the destruction of russia that we are talking about now, i won’t tell you the first six points, they relate to yugoslavia, that is, there are really questions that concern yugoslavia, here are my dear colleagues, a few points, if you will allow me, i will not read out. in german i will simply designate all this so that it is clear what we are talking about. here in the seventh point, seventh, in the seventh point it is said that all nato geographical claims, the situation that concerns geography from the baltic sea and further to the black sea, it should be regarded as a zone of nato interests and should be built in such a way that this area of

you have chris cristi and john bolton, larry hogan and others who simply refuse to say, look, i havebe part of a coalition here. it is a binary choice. the electoral college especially in states where people like john bolton and paul ryan who has done the same act where they live, you know, these could be swing states where 5000 or 10,000 votes could matter. i named them after a character in an old movie, once upon a time in america about a union boss who loved to work with the mall but kept his distance. so the mob called him jimmy clean hands, played by the late great treat williams. a great actor. that's where they are. they want us to come out the way they want. they would be okay if trump won. they don't want the moral stain of being involved in this in any way. they want to preserve their viability by saying, i didn't vote for joe biden. it is really a meaningless position. it says more about the person who speaks it rather than, you know, either of the candidates. that's a republican saying, i think there is a republican party one day, and i still want to be a mover and shaker

. >> john bolton and mark esper have a different account of what happened during that time, saying thated pulling out and bringing people back to the u.s. but on the campaign trail right now donald trump is talking about ukraine a lot, and he said, apparently, according to the hungarian prime minister viktor orban, that he won't give a pep now ukraine if he's reelected and by cutting off that money, that will end the war. that sounds like that would be ending the war in russia's favor. doesn't it? >> well, keep in mind, margaret, we're the first administration to give lethal aid to the ukrainians, the jav lan missiles which stopped the russian vanj to start with. it was too little too late. we need to bring vladimir putin to the table and the way to do that is what larry kudlow and i called for and what president trump has called for, put sanctions on the russians to bring putin to the table to have a negotiated peace treaty. we have to stop the killing in ukraine, the stop the killing of ukrainians and yanz russians and need peace in the world. too you little too late telling the ukrai

to put it mildly, an unsystematic person, yes, he has, of course, some advisers, but people like john boltonells in his memoirs how trump was manipulated when he was president from the very first day. his assistants only thought how to deceive him, fool him, because he is an inexperienced person, does not understand foreign policy, and so on. personally, i have consistently said over the years that the united states needs to sit down with russia. because when you sit with a person at the table, it creates a certain atmosphere, it involuntarily forces you to be more responsible, more rational, maybe it will sound naive, but i personally believe in the power of such meetings, when you sit down with a person at the table, i want them to sit down negotiation table with... russian minister lavrov, we talked, because for now, when they talk about the ukraine project. i have never heard them tell the truth when there is talk about sending american troops to ukraine and so on, it doesn’t matter, the americans can say whatever they want, but let the two foreign ministers meet as quickly as possible a

indictments of his cond h character whether it's general mattis or general kelly or rex tillerson john boltonor mark esper who served as as secretary of defense and the ones who give out the most chilling of what it would be like if he wins another term and it goes in basically unbound. well, i want to stay on that because you actually opened the with a desk officer named mike stiegler and his going work on ja right and what the next 24 hours would be like when he's think we would have probably seen if the election certification hadn't gone, i think we would have probably seen an instit crumble. i think a lot of us would have just walked out and when you read this book and you realize how tied these people are to, the situation room that they serve the presidency not the man. that is an incredible statement ani in a second trump term what happens to that room mcentee and his loyalty to us get a hold of it. it's a very very good question. and you it'll be interesting to see would come to work for a who get confirmed by the senate thpresident's you know former president is saying in plain sight

our friend john bolton, i served with him, john wrote a good piece today in the "washington examiner.ate not one cubic inch much of hamas's tunnel network should be remaining. he goes on to say there should be widespread agreement with the arab states, including financing for comprehensive dehamasification. mike walsh, we don't hear anything like those two conditions at all. like we've all lost our way on this war. what do you thinking about? >> well, i mean, i don't think we've lost our way in congress. this administration is obsessed with a cease-fire. that is because of pressure from the progressive left. i fear that one they will force israel to basically allow hamas to survive. amass has already stated more october 7ths are in their future. as they very publicly seek to constrain israel, biden, and schumer and the administration, that's actually inviting iran to be a more aggressive and inviting hezbollah to be more aggressive. hezbollah has tripled the full number of drones and rockets firing into israel. you have 100,000 israelis internally displaced as refugees. at the end of

dehamasification which was a goal, joining us now florida congressman mike waltz, you know, our friend john boltonece today. we should eliminate not one cube ib inch cubic inch of hamas' tunnel network should remain and should there be widespread agreement with arab states including comprehensive dehamasification, we don't hear anything like those two conditions, we have lost our way on this war. what do you think about it.? >> i don't think we have lost our way in congress. but this administration is obsessed with ceasefire that is because of pressure from the progressive left, i fear that one they are force israel to basically allow hamas to survive. hamas has stated more october 7th are if their future, they seek to constrain israel biden and schumer and this administration that is actually inviting iran to be more aggressive and inviting hezbollah to be more aggressive. hezbollah has tripled number of drones and rockets in the last month that they are firing into israel while you have over 100 thousand israelis intern alley displaced as refugees, idf has to clear hezbollah out. or what the adm

john bolton describe rudy giuliani's shenanigans in his operations that was the subject of the first impeachment, do not want to be involved in whatever rudy's drug deal is. that means i know there's something illicit happening. when someone says it feels like a drug deal, you understand this is not on the level. >> it's not on the level. one of the things that's -- the 10 fake collectors in wisconsin prior to this indictment were subject to a civil litigation brought by people including mary mccord from georgetown university. when they settled that, they only -- they admitted wrongdoing and said biden is a lawfully elected president. we were told we needed to do this in order to preserve the campaign's writes should've prevailed in litigation and we were tricked. we did not understand by signing this they would continue this irrespective of whether they won or lost. >> i don't know if we have the document itself is an alignment, but chesebro and one of the documents uses the term weaponize to to describe how he wants to marshal the electoral count act which is a federal law that gui

i knew dina powell very well, i know john bolton very well. they part of what is now literally a criminal enterprise? >> well, you mentioned, some people who have broken from all of this, but it is fascinating to me watching all of this and you and i have been talking about this for more than eight years and it continues to be amazing, the decision people make. and many of them are simply making this -- >> charlie sykes has frozen. charlie, we will -- we'll fix your shot. >> vaughn hillyard, behind dina powell and john bolton if they don't go in, and he's right, they have broken with trump, there will be others behind them. he's capable of recruiting new, in a lot of instances, more radical, more extreme members of the republican ranks to service his lies, service his destruction of democracy, service his destruction and weakening of nato. what's in your head? what's the best answer to why? >> number one, because it's how donald trump wants to govern. we have seen time and again over the last eight years the question of whether donald trump wo

mexican drug cartels trying to assassinate former national security advisor john bolton not too long ago, they try to similar plot during the obama administration. unless we are able to control our border, the american people are going to be at risk of this kind of threat. >> martha: absolutely, so the numbers that he pointed out in the beginning our policy. they are white house policy. here's a flashback to alejandro mayorkas in 2021. >> we have rescinded so many trump immigration policies were taken so much time to list them. >> martha: so the white house is very proud of rolling back the protections at the southern border, as evidenced by alejandro mayorkas they provide a summary who has worked closely with the u.s. president, what should the president to be doing it now in reaction to these clear warnings that of the fbi director is shouting from the mountaintops right now? >> while i think it's to talk to the fbi director and say what more do you need? we have a good insight of what the fbi did, these people crossed the border in the spring, they were running through the terror

his competence and his character whether it's general mattis or general kelly or rex tillerson or john boltonut the most chillof like if her term and it goes in basicallunb. well, i want to stay the with a desk officer named mike stiegler and his going work on january 6th and feeling like something's not right and what the next 24 hours would be like when he's there and he says think we would have probably seen if the election certification hadn' gone, i think we would have probably seen an institution crack just crumble. i think a lot of us would have just walked out and when you read this book and youare to, the situation room that they serve theat is an incredible stt and i couldn't help but think in a second trump term what happens to that room if john mcentee and his loyalty to us get a hold of it. it's a very, very good question. and you it'll be interesting to se work for a second trump administration and d by the senate the president's you know former g in plain sight what he would do if he were elected and forget about the policy he's he's saying every single day i'm going to pardon

appointing and oil executive, in oil obvious to one of the department interior pharmaceutical lobby, john boltonto run the cia and the state department, these swamp creatures who are part of the corrupted merger of the state and corporate power. who came in and said this for industry? that is the swamp. >> neil: i think some of those gentlemen i would disagree with that characterization. we know though, we will see. robert want to thank you, and i do want to express my sympathy, it's been 56 years, i'm sure it is a day you cannot forget. our member myself just a bit younger than you but that was a dark turn in american history, you and your family got through that. cannot be easy especially this day. thank you very much. >> it neil, thank you for those thoughts, i am grateful. >> neil: robert f. kennedy junior, would love to have a backpack more on this including more on hunter biden on the triad that some say could wrap up in a couple of weeks. back after this. dive deeper into prayer. listen, it doesn't matter if you've never prayed before or if you're praying every day. god wants you to grow

secretary of state, mike pompeo, iran reportedly offered a hitman a million dollars to kill him, and john boltonviser. >> they bargained the price for me would be $300,000, which i have to say i found insulting. >> so, what exactly was the plot against you? >> the revolutionary guard sought to procure either by kidnapping or my assassination, not directly by a revolutionary guards member, but by seeking a hitman who would carry out the job either in the u.s. or abroad. >> the fbi has an arrest warrant out for the iranian officer, claiming that he hired the hitman online to travel to washington, corner bolton in a garage, and kill him. but it turned out -- lucky for bolton -- the assassin was an fbi informant. >> this was not internet chatter. this was a negotiation to murder an american citizen, a former government official. >> is the threat against you ongoing? >> we've got marked secret service cars that say, police, united states secret service, outside my home. >> we talked to the fbi and several intelligence agencies, and they told us that iran's efforts are becoming more frequent and bolde

john bolton described rudy giuliani's shenanigans as, i don't want to be involved in whatever rudy'sthat term is, as i know there is something illicit happening. when you have someone say this feels like a drug deal, right, you understand that this is not on the level. >> no, this is not on the level and one of the things that is also here is the fake electors, prior to bringing up this indictment, were subject to a civil litigation brought by a number of people including our friend and colleague mary mccord. when they settled that they not only admitted wrongdoing, but essentially said biden is to lawfully elect the president. we were told we needed to do this to preserve the campaign right and we were tricked because we didn't understand that by signing this they would continue this scheme irrespective of whether they won or lost the litigation. >> if i am not mistaken, i don't know if we have the documented self as an element, but chesebro himself in one of the documents uses the term, weaponized, to describe how he wants to marshal the electoral count act, which guides the proces

his closest advisers, i'm thinking of his national security adviser, john bolton said that he is very common when they came extremely close to walking away from nato during the first term in so how do we keep the traditions alive if we have a leader that is willing to walk away from that, our veterans won't be received that way. are allies in ukraine they may not, even exist. i mean, that is garrett was talking about how perilous and threatens the stakes of this field. it is because it absolutely is real yeah. garrett does trump's obsession with revenge. i guess. i don't know. think obsession his, his sort of continued talking about revenge against his perceived opponents have any comparison presented? it'll history, i mean, running as retribution. >> oh, absolutely not. i mean, we've the rhetoric that we see from the president in the way that he wants to weaponized the justice department against his enemies, that sort of undermine the basic legitimacy of the justice system. use the courts against his political enemies is which side of the american political tradition, which is so int

spoken to former senior trump advisers who were quite senior in his administration, john kelly, john bolton, and others who say that in a second trump term, he might very well pull out of nato. so those are not undo concerns. there, they're quite public questions about this moment in history and the choice, the choice that this country faces in election in the fall and to jim's point, christiane, let me bring you and you spoke to the joint chiefs about this i certainly did. and as we watch the announcement that the colors are now going to be raised ahead of the world leaders coming in. it's worth saying and repeating what president reagan did hear 40 years ago, the 40th anniversary when he basically said, one's country is worth dying for democracy see is worth dying for because it is the most noble form of government ever devised. and to that point, i did speak to the chairman of the joint chiefs in an exclusive interview and he had a very similar theme about the value of democracy and freedom our freedom is not free. >> and democracy can stand on its own, but we've got to make sure we're p

still ahead, former trump national security adviser and former us ambassador, the united nations, john boltonill join us live. >> we're going to talk to him about trump's conviction and israel ceasefire proposal. you're in the cnn newsroom in one of the most active tornado season you can't control a tornado. what kinds of interventions can we design go inside the store the premier of london earth within the am schreiber to morrow would nine on cnn how far would you go to control the fragrance in your home? there's an easier way. dry air wake vibrant with two times more natural essential oils, but up to 120 days of amazing fragrance per dual pack now, that's a breath of fresh air wic as a cardiologist, when i put my patients on a statin to reduce cholesterol, i also tell them it can deplete their coat. q ten levels i recommend taking qn all coke. q. ten queue at all has three times better absorption than regular koki putin kunal, the brand i trust pods spring moving sale has been extended, save up to 25% on moving in storage until june 10, and cbi pauses entrusted with over 6 million moves, do

republican pushing this very, very radical president i spoke with former trump national security adviser john bolton in the last hour about the possibility of the president going to jail. and i want to play a clip of what he had to say and then ask you something. after and what do you think about potential jail time for a former president the united states you know, it wouldn't bother me, but i know, i know what trump's reaction would be. >> it'd be one more indication of poor donald trump. everybody pick so i am, it's just so unfair. i think the objective i'm not going to vote for either trump or biden, but i certainly think one objective here should be to make sure donald trump is not president again, and i don't want the lawfare advocates in their zeal just to feel good and signal their virtue to get jail time if it helps elect him we've just straight about it john. sentencing is july 11. do you think the former president should go to jail? we'll go to jail let me share a story. i a few years ago, read the probation report for my former coconspirators in watergate former chief of staff, bob halde

. >> i thought the reference from john bolton, of course he was former president trump's national security advisor. the references to xi jinping, vladimir putin, kim jong un was really interesting because we have reported that there's a good chance that president biden up could reference the recent comments from donald trump that he would be a dictator on day one. one it's just a good reminder that the biden campaign would very much like to focus as much as they can on domestic issues, but on foreign policy two, they see a real operator trinity to draw one of the sharpest and starkest contrast between, between the president and the former president tonight yeah. >> what is america's place in the world? these are two men with very different ideas of that mj lee, thank you for that. let's go now to cnn's kristen holmes, who has lived from the cnn spin room or at christian former president trump is expected to arrive here in atlanta in a couple hours. what's he doing in the lead up to the debate? >> a lot of what he's doing, right. i'm briana as attacking joe biden on social media. he's spend

will it be mike pompeo and john boltons, or is it going to be a new breed of person? all of that i think matters, but assuming it willsame, maximum pressure 2.0, i agree with kelsey. i do not think it achieved what he was supposed to be achieved either in the form of a better making iran capitulate to the 10 point request of secretary pompeo. so i think it will be more of the same, so iran pushing the envelope as much as they can creating headaches here and there depending upon how the regional dynamic unfolds. the war in gaza is a very top issue, how that will be by the time of the was election. will there be a cease-fire, whether we -- will there be escalation? that slows down i think all of these moving parts we have to look at and two becomes president in iran. is it someone more to the center of the hardliners? or is it someone like the big names? all of these will make a shift that will show again the path forward. >> i would like to pick up on something you said kelsey. someone spoke about the october 20, october 25 moment for britain and france to trigger the

but what keeps mitt romney and nikki hailey and john bolton and mitch mcconnell and rob portman and johnand john kelly and mark milley from warning about what they surely have access to that would point to the same possibility as our friends in germany. >> i think there's two things that maybe if i could speculate what's going on with them that could be standing in the way. one is that as awful as they personally believe strup to be, and we've talked about this before in this program, nicolle, i think they fundamentally don't view him as as dangerous. they believe that ultimately he's too incompetent to undermine the american system or the international alliance. and i think what is so naive and troubling about that is that i have found there is a direct relationship between how close attention people pay to what donald trump is proposing to do and the detailed plans that people around him are laying out to do it and how alarmed they are. the more attention people focus on it, the more alarmed they are. this is why mckay's article is so important. because those people in the highest leve

ramin's tape is an exclamation point that a lot of people who have covered him, the obsession with john bolton'sl cat to get madonna when she was. it's celebrity plus virility that makes him, i don't know what. now it's about us. we have all of the information in front of us. >> yeah, that's true, because a lot of what donald trump does, he's putting together another show. that show happens to run the country if he were to be elected. that is the cautionary note. i just want to add this other point, two, because it's another cautionary note. as we talk about reality shows, there's a reason they're still on, you know? in some ways, when some people watch a reality show, they did say i'm glad i'm not like them. that givers them a sense of comfort. in some instances you have people who watch the shows that say i want to be more like them. so when you put those two things together, it's almost like they shows can help build value in some of the folks that watch it. that's the scary part about what donald trump does. somehow he has managed to find ways to give some of his supporters, his followers, t

they will listen to the ad featuring the communications director and john bolton and mike pence, all these others. it's important that they go that next step and endorse joe biden to help create a structure for those voters. joe biden has to help himself tonight. i think there's a category of voters, some of this in the nikki haley category, some of this in the democratic base who have some questions about joe biden, who want to see he's the figure tonight, who want to see he's up for this job for the next four years paired together, i think having that outside support and the endorsements with a strong, aggressive performance tonight, i think we could see some movement for joe biden. >> let me show you that ad that tim is talking about, and let me ask you about how you turn them into the per mission structure is not just to reject trump. but it's to go in and vote for and be a supporter of joe biden. it's a different thing than just the rejection of donald trump. which has happened the highest levels from his own vice president to the most important actors here, the voters thels the
