john bolton threatened the former head of the obviously w and she told him that she knows where is the, where is the place of his sons he tripped into life off his son. so of course there is an enormous pressure on the leadership and the administration of to obviously the avenue from the u. s. on from the okay. and recently, there was an enormous pressure of it against the icy cease the, the, the, the shape of the i see to not issued or esperanza against nathaniel. so the international law and the so called rules based order that we are living under nowadays is nothing but a drop excuse me, but we are no longer living in an international system or international lawyer to be to use. and it's a jungle. and what's happening in the gaza strip and all of these and you live on on and you can see the i in the region overall with all the acts of ethnic cleansing and genocide and the complete inaction of the same players in the region is that isn't is another proof that they don't care about international law, but they really weaponized these international organizations against their enemies .

. >> there's no evidence on people that i've talked to in the trump administration, john bolton, john kelly wanted to do john bolton, liz cheney, these people have a consistent kelly was at the department of homeland security and then he was chief of staff. he was not weighing in. i don't even know what you're talking about, but let me ask you something about john kelly specifically because you said the other day, quote, i guarantee john kelly talked to somebody on kamala harris's campaign beforehand before we did this interview. now i've spoken with people in john kelly circle and i've spoken with people in the kamala harris campaign. they say there's been no communication the entire time. so where did that come from? >> oh, i'm highly skeptical of that, jake, you know, the way that these attacks work, you know, the way that these people are often vetted by, a case. so you made it out with something goes out there? no. i said that the american media and the american democratic party apparatus works a certain way. if it comes out that john kelly never even spoke with a person in the k

served alongside donald trump, is his national security advisor. >> ambassador bolton, when you hear john kelly say that donald trump meets the definition of a fascist, do you agree with that? >> well, i think it's extremely important that john has gone public to the extent he has in the atlantic and the new york times just a couple of weeks before the election, because even though some of the things in these articles have been reported, publicly before to have them all in one place and effect to places, i guess. and from john directly i think is something the american people should listen to. i think it's a mistake to get into a controversy over whether trump meets the definition of fascist or not i think his behavior alone is troubling enough to be a fascist. you have to have a philosophy, trump's not capable of that adolf hitler wrote profoundly troubling book called mine comp, my struggle donald trump couldn't even read his way all the way through that book, let alone write something like it. i'm not trying to understate the dangers of a trump presidency. i think it's important to foc

the field crew attempt was also a set back for john bolton and the white house venezuela had slipped through their fingers to may 23rd total. and the trump had a conversation where potent basically gloated, that the gladto had been defeated. and he said, you know, the whole thing was a, it was a us effort is, you know, and you've actually consolidated the doors power. nicholas, my doodle remained, and office solidifying his reputation for being indestructible. around him, the world changed. joe biden followed donald trump as president. part of latin america had swung back to the left. in brazil, my do to his friend a little of the silver had returned to power. he invited him to brazilian as a guest of honor, the gift will fix up. i'm at the cost of a quantum endeavor that is due that won't, can i see? no thought he thought he is that the wash of the cab, the vin as well. most of us would not have to you, but by that you, boss, i meant to do best. what would that video starting a flight of hostile by you or what do we have for matthew but easy like usual, the punches, go come see the

i'm going to be asking john bolton, the president's former national security advisor about that trump's former national security so kristen holmes, thank you so much. and here now is republican former lieutenant governor of georgia, geoff duncan and gop strategist, shermichael singleton. sure. shermichael, i want to go first to what we heard from kristen, and that sound you played from the former president saying that there was a peaceful transfer of power despite the violence that happened and on january 6, and he conveniently glossed over what is your reaction when you hear that i mean, look, i think the vast majority of americans disagree. >> trump's supporters are going to agree with the president. i was just talking to some folks couple of days ago about this very issue, pamela. and it is very interesting to me how those who are ardent supporters what does the president remember that particular moment? many of them believed that individuals there were justified in protesting what they believe was some type of malfeasance. but i think the vast majority of americans would disagree wi

some of the little john bolton was then donald trump national security adviser, the, the severity of his sanctions plan was unprecedented. well in one of the star wars episode, so somebody comes up and report something to darth vader that he doesn't like. and using his mental powers. darth vader constructs this fella's throat until he collapses on the floor dead. and that actually was a pretty good image of what we wanted to do to the door over the, the embargo on oil and gas and the freezing of the states assets abroad. venezuela found itself strangled. it was a master class by the us and reading mass destruction without firing a single shot. the sanctions wrecked the economy installation reached stratospheric levels. soon the price of a key low arrives at $2500000.00 volt device shortages gave rise to looting $7000000.00 people left the country. the that is a good policy. it should be based upon the, the assumption that nicholas and my daughter will never voluntarily relinquish power in venezuela. the problem was the mistaken belief that sanctions alone would force my daughter to c

john bolton, mcmaster, all these people worked around him had for quite public.nd it's obvious why they are concerned. he's embraced vladimir putin. he's embraced kim jong-il, kim jong-un. host: but explain the word embraced. guest: he seems to be much more comfortable talking to these autocrats that he is with allies. in other words, he didn't distinguish between friend and foe. he was more critical of angela merkel and justin trudeau and he was of vladimir putin and kim jong-un. we have allies and friends and shared interests and values. you'd think we would embrace them more than people who try to undermine american foreign-policy interest all around the globe. that is what i thought was so stunning. i thought that is probably but those individuals them stunning. host: let's talk to callers and start with bob, atlanta. caller: thank you for your program. sarah, i served in the military and i'm 78 years old and i just got one question for you. you a communist? guest: absolutely not. are you, sir? caller: kamala harris is so far to the left you can even see her.

>> it gives me pause in the sense that john bolton wrote a book about this, national security adviser, trump can be unpredictable and he throws out ideas all the time and it is not clear from one day to the next exactly where he is going on foreign policy, what lawyers call a difficult client. that is what they are talking about rather than that he would be a fascist. in terms of the election let's consider, we've gone up this trump thing since 2015. he insulted republicans in the primaries. he was thought to be obnoxious, then he won the presidency, they impeached him, they indicted him, he was convicted, he's a criminal. now they are calling him a fascist. why is that? through all this election period, the election has been tight, 48-48 or 49-49. donald trump is not losing support because of all these attacks. when you get to the end of the campaign and call him a fascist there isn't much left after that. paul: you can escalate to hitler. >> he is not losing support. it suggests there's an underlying weakness in harris's support. paul: what about the substantive report. should we be

maggie haberman of the new york times and trump's former national security advisor, ambassador john i'm bolton ahead after a quick break decorated have ran have blue that's a really tough call for you. >> that's john king from cnn. >> let's look at the data your county leaned read i 15 points in the last presidential election however looking at the latest polling, you're going to need a loss for those purple sprinkles how this guy really knows his stuff $5 a cupcake, you know, the average cost of a cupcake around here $3. >> no comment. millions of people have lost faith with noon, likely bossier, who found the perfect companion to his glp-1 journey, been able to track the progress we open the ad, they're definitely teaching me new habits, so i do not have to be on weight loss medicine get 1000m glp-1 now available at noon.com tail. >> what's simply saved gotten than i don't 24/7 monitoring that acts on an alarm in five seconds to help stop crime in real time. >> stop this is simply safe, please are other way loss no contracts ever maybe simply safe and i could work together >> cat there's no

john bolton, trumps former national security advisor, has called him a menace. they said trump is too dumb to be a fascist, which i guess is maybe better than fascist to the court. but really, who can say? rex tillerson. remember him? really served as secretary of state. said trump was totally ignorant of american history and world events. served as homeland security advisor, mike pence, before resigning. he said he didn't want to give aid to disaster victims in california because he didn't think they had voted for him. again, this barely scratches the surface of how many people. they are not rebels and not peoples whose job it is to say nasty things about donald trump are just the people that work for him. former trump officials telling horror stories about trumps mental and moral capacities as president. >> i think he's unfit for the presidency. >> reporter: he called the president a more on after a july national security meeting. >> donald trump and jd vance cannot be trusted with the presidency. >> it's important to understand that they are rolling the dice

it makes more sense john bolton was in the bush white house, said, do you believe him? this isn't able you know, you didn't believe him. you believe him now that he attacks trump bush white house that has you can say what you want to say about the republicans who attacked about other. this is about the person that aspiring to be president united states today. so i think the harris campaign has to do the harris campaign has to continue to tell the stories they're doing right? and now they're doing it. and saturday rallies, they're making us pay attention to this in a way that people haven't paid attention to it. and i think what will happen over the course of time is that it's not just, it's not going to be that donald trump is going to be at 45 or 44%. this is going to be a 48, 49% candidacy, but the harris campaign can peel two points. office now trump one or two points off of them, and these battleground states, they win this election. >> the problem is that the people that they want to peel off, they may not be paying attention to this story. they may not be followin

clearly people like john kelly, john bolton, secretary esper and all of those. these individuals with many years of experience in the national security front did see up close and personal dangerous and irresponsible donald trump was. that is why again i find it unsurprising we have so many of these individuals who have dedicated their lives to protect the interest of this country are coming out publicly and singly danger donald trump is. i find it so surreal not more americans are listening to what is clearly going to be very much a dangerous situation if donald trump gets back into the oval office. >> i think that is a profoundly important point that folks are in some sense sort of dismissive of to put it well that is foreign-policy or something outside but it is all connected in so many ways and the connective tissue for me what i want to focus on right now is the fact that donald trump had seven that we know of conversations since leaving office with vladimir putin. could you speak a little bit about whether or not that is unusual for a former president to ha

former trump national security adviser john bolton, who was fired, also by tweet in 2019, and former secretary of defense mark esper who was fired, also by tweet in 2020, have both called trump unfit to serve. of course trumps vice president mike pence, who refused to carry out trumps order to overturn the 2020 election and his life was threatened on january 6, he now says he cannot in good conscious endorse trump. and then there were also the grifters, trumps choice to run health and human services, tom price lasted less than a year in the job after spending $400,000 of the government's money on chartered flights. his interior secretary ryan zinke resigned in 2018 after federal investigations were launched into travel habits and his conflict of interest. and is epa cheap scott pruitt quit when he became the subject of 13 different ethics investigations, but not before demanding an a to try to buy a used mattress for him from the trump international hotel. at some point trump got sick of the lengthy appointment process for new cabinet officials in order to avoid the senate approval a

mcmaster, john bolton, and general jim mattis, who served as defense secretary. david? >> david: rachel scott, thank you. >>> tonight, for the first time here, we're hearing the chilling 911 calls from the scene of the assassination attempt of donald trump in butler, pennsylvania. the horrified callers, the panic and fear in their voices moments after it played out. here's aaron katersky. >> take a look at what happened -- >> reporter: tonight, for the first time, the 911 calls from the attempted assassination of former president trump in butler, pennsylvania. >> they just tried to kill president trump, >> reporter: in the caller's voices, sheer panic. >> gunshots at the trump rally, >> yep, the police are on the way. >> better get over here quick. >> reporter: chaos in the crowd. >> we're at the trump assembly, and there's a guy shooting. he's been shooting at the place. >> reporter: this call came in from a neighboring county. >> i have a female on the line, her husband was shot at the trump rally. >> reporter: that woman trying to locate her husband. he had been shot

then engaged in the murder of of assassinating general solomani after mike pompeo, nikki haley and john bolton. uh lied to him and the israelis lied uh to him about uh general solomonni and then of course his wickedness in uh prosecuting julian assan so donald trump has lot of uh problems and if he is foolish enough to think that the american people are going to welcome a war or aggression uh against israel against uh iran or any other country on the side of israel he's sorely mistaken uh the american people's hearts are not there and camala. haris, i think uh, if if she was elected, she would be too weak to oppose the generals in the pentagon that live off of war, and that's that's the danger, this has to be almost like a revolution in america to overthrow this military, industrial complex and political people that are politically bribes and puppets of the israeli lobby, so america is captured government, and i think an only revolution in america. will set it free, but don't you think that netanyahu is uh personally rooting for trump to win? well, i, i think there is an argument that uh, he w

focus at home and has been hawkish and last time he was president he appointed key hawks including john boltonpeople who talk about regime change. jared kushner talked about opportunity for israel to forge a new middle east by military action against iran's allies and it could go either way. still opportunity for diplomacy and likely that iran will try to express interest in that, whether it is harris or trump. they might de-escalate, that might appeal to trump's sense of himself, he considers himself to be a dealmaker. tom: jane killed her mom, thank you very much indeed. what that could mean for the u.s. and the strike on the wrong. coming up, volkswagen plating a universal pay cut. we bring you the details next. this is bloomberg. tom: volkswagen has targeted cost savings 4 billion euros. the proposals include a pay cut for workers. let's bring in all the critical with the details. ollie: this is the brand, not, the cars. important bread -- brand that has been struggling. they are talk about saving 4 billion euros, 10% pay cut. imagine what that would feel like. wage freeze into a year afte

so in 1745 in response to jacobite rebellion in scotland john bolton raises a regiment help put down that rebellion. and gates is going to be commissioned as an engine and then later lieutenant in bolton's regiment. so this connection with bolton is going to give gates his first military commission as a year old in. in 1745. and one thing i want to point out on the screen here, which is one of those crazy coincidences of history, which is almost hard to believe. but if you look on the left there is a record of gates, a 1745 commission at the national archives and in in london and this commission book has a hundreds of pages and even on this individual page it's all the officers in bolton's regiment so that you can see there quite a few names here and i don't have a you don't have a laser pointer but gates his is maybe about 80% towards the bottom and the person directly below him on the same exact page in this regiment and this book of hundreds of pages is john burgoyne. so it's kind of a funny coincidence that's a little hard to believe that. and burgoyne, of course, will come to hav

trump's former defense secretary mark esper, his former national security adviser john bolton, his former military chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, mark milley, have all also warned about another trump presidency. so, too has vice president mike pence. president biden was campaigning in new hampshire and said trump should be locked up. that's an unusual, improper thing for a president to say. presidents should stay out of criminal cases. biden immediately tried to take it back. i mean, so i know this sounds bizarre. it sounds like i said this five years ago. you'd lock me up. we got to lock him up. political document. lock him out. that's what we have to do. kamala harris sat down for a long format interview on last night's nightly news. she's done a long string of interviews. our hallie jackson asked her, why is only the second woman to run for president from a major party? she had not called more attention to her gender. you've been reluctant to lean into to talk about the historic nature of your candidacy on the campaign trail. why is that? well, i'm clearly a woman. i don't mean

when the secretary, genuine ross was able to sony and back then joe, but john bolton, he went to the office. of course, it was funny and tripped them to him with his sons and told him that he knows the place of his sons. and since then he resigned and the obviously w, unfortunately has been hijacked, and the proof of death was after the war in syria. now in 2008, and this was a big scandal in syria that the o p. c. w. inspectors came and they concluded that the, the learning gas has not been used in the duma incident. however, the type part biotech division has happened to again, syria backed in by the u. k, the united states and france. however, the administration of to or p c w. they have dr and change the conclusions of the inspectors themselves. and there is.

but john bolton, he went to the office, of course it was funny and trust them to him with his sons and told him that he knows the place of his sons. and since then he resigned and the obviously w, unfortunately has been hijacked. and the proof of that was after the war in syria now in 2008. and this was a big scandal in syria that the whole p c, w. inspectors came. and they concluded that the, the learning gas has not been used in the duma incident. however, the type part biotech division has happened to again, syria backed in by the u. k, the united states and friends. however, the administration of the obviously w, they have dr. and change the conclusions of the inspectors themselves and the researchers who were on the ground in syria. therefore, when we speak of the o p c, w, we were speaking of a compromised organization. nowadays, that can falsify a report against a server and country and justify if for an integration. therefore, if we want to put it in the greater context now in the we're in ukraine, the allies of ukraine, they need further justifications in front of the people t

ramaswamy, who is more aligned with my age five and a known war hawk, but i will concede, experienced john bolton. they posed a question, the u.s. should continue to use it diplomatic and military power around the globe to ensure america's national security. now, i say that with the understanding that we provided over $24 billion to ukraine, over $11 billion to israel, $2 billion to ethiopia, 1.6 billion dollars to jodey and. host: -- to jordan. bring in the question. caller: does america have the bandwidth for this policy, not necessarily isolationist, but does america have the bandwidth that the same mindset second old-school mentality has had? host: mike, where do you think young voters are on that? caller: i think young voters, we are especially tired of providing all this or an eight when we had our own country and despair. if i get your house in order before you can, you know, be the type of people who can be a philanthropist come in a layman's term. i feel like i could bring it home, but i wanted to get c-span's opinion on this. i'm a first time caller. i listen to you guys everyday while

so in 1745 in response to jacobite rebellion in scotland john bolton raises a regiment help put down that rebellion. and gates is going to be commissioned as an engine and then later lieutenant in bolton's regiment. so this connection with bolton is going to give gates his first military commission as a year old in. in 1745. and one thing i want to point out on the screen here, which is one of those crazy coincidences of history, which is almost hard to believe. but if you lk the lt there is a record of gates, a 1745 commiioat the natna archives and in in london and thisomssion book has a hundreds of pages and even on this indivua page it's all the officers in bolton's regiment so that you can see there quite a few names here and i don't have a you don't have a laser pointer but gates his is maybe about 80% towards the bottom and the person directly below him on the same exact page in this regiment and this book of hundreds of pages is john burgoyne. so it's kind of a funny coincidence that's a little hard to believe that. and burgoyne, of course, will come to have much more significa

our national security advisor john bolton's word for it.ational security adviser, hr mcmaster's word for it or defense secretary mark espers word for it or even mike vice president, mike pence's word for it. we can just take trump's own words. when he says he wants to be a dictator on day one of his presidency. he's not just saying it, he's promising it. i've been saying it and i think you feel it. you've seen it over the last few weeks. hell, we've seen it over the last nine years. but certainly the last few weeks, this is a straight up descent into madness in front of us and he's repeatedly talking about it. he's talking about shutting down media outlets that he doesn't like, seizing total control of the department of justice, installing his loyalists to run the military. he wants to weaponize our democratic institutions against you, the american people. sure the hell against me. but it's against anyone who disagrees with him. that's what he's trying to do. folks this time there's no guardrails around him. they're totally gone. it's trump

john bolton and david albright and many experts are kind of amazed that the biden administration would say something like -- saying israel should not be targeting a certain component of iran. they are saying -- and apparently there's even statements coming from the israeli press saying that israel somehow the u.s. government trying to entice israel to really quash a major campaign against iran and that is sad because right now a lot seem to be feeling there's a good opportunity to really reverse the trend. obviously the biden administration is giving a lot of money. 6.5 billion just this week and this was after the attack from the 182 missiles. i'm curious what you think of these things along with the biden administration support of rob who was -- he is not employed officially, but refused to divulge why his security clearance was recalled. and all the other people he brought in as advisors on the iran group and what's going on with that. host: let me give general mckenzie a chance to respond. guest: what i can talk about is the iranian targets. as you look at the targets israel could

out of the trans trans-pacific partnership and according to his own national security advisor, john bolton, the nation undertake big common security he threatened to pull out of the best deal america ever made. they were sworn to stand together against aggression. >> the nato alliance by of the failed soviet union at last came down defeated an empire still defense almost 1 billion people nato is obsolete. it's old, it's fat, it's sloppy how did we get here? the fact is america has been here before to understand, we need to look back and tell the story of america first american isolationism. >> i'm fareed zakaria when we first heard the campaign slogan, america first in the 2016 campaign, it felt like a startling break from the past that came out of nowhere. but history often repeats itself. and when we look to the past, america first was said to be the nations guiding principle. for most of its existence founding fathers george washington, the nation's first president, said famously in his farewell address, that america should steer clear of permanent alliances with other countries. >> geo

[cheering and applause] this week we have learned that not only did 13,000 murders illegally cross our border but fema is out of money because they have been providing $9,000 to every legal. [booing] enough is enough. we must put americans first. how soon we start deporting the murderers? >>

you see warmongers who have sent young men and women to unnecessary wars like liz cheney, john boltonut on president trump's side you are part of this avengers team. bobby kennedy, elon musk, the former cochair of the democratic party. can you talk about this realignment. it's important to realize two people who ran for the presidency as democrats are now behind donald trump. sen. vance: 2003, i was a senior in high school. i enlisted in the marine corps. most of you were not alive then or were young. i wish i could tell myself from the perspective that if dick cheney is in control, if a person with the last name of cheney is in control of american foreign policy, it's a damn shame and bad things will happen. even though you were not alive then, my old 18-year-old self is coming forward into the future and telling you, when a cheney is telling you how you should live and vote, you should run in the other direction. that's what you have the opportunity to do. i didn't know that a cheney in charge of american foreign policy would lead to innocent americans and other people losing their

i had john bolton describe how he was once on the way to a needle summit and trump turned to bolton and said, let's make history. let's move out of nato today. let's quit. and bolton of course talked him out of it and jim mattis talked him out of it. but will those people be around in the second term? many have resigned. many of them have come out against trump. many have been very vocal about their fear. and he will be surrounded by a different kind of person. somebody who will enable these authoritarian impulses that he has prepared, at least a part of the nation, to accept . >> thank you for your great writing and great insight. anne applebaum is the author of multiple, very, very important books. if you're looking for some great books in the next few days, "autocracy inc. the dictators who want to run the world." >>> the motto is that democracy dies in the darkness, but democracy dies in other ways, too, like when billionaires exert their power over the press and the press yields. plus, bob casey looking to swing the seat in pennsylvania. a >>> all right. turning and now to the midd

he will not have john kelly and jim mattis and john bolton and even jared kushner in the white housee'll have donald trump jr. who is even a more depraved version of his father. that is who will be turning the federal government into a trump thiefdom. it's not just going to be the military, it's going to be the politicalization of medicare and using the department of justice to go after the private sector. it will be civil servants having to respond to his whims as opposed to facts and evidence. >> for you and many americans, comments like this are disqualifying or viewed as unamerican. that's not the case with his supporters. nbc news asked four of his supporters, trump supporters in arizona, if they agree with him that democrats are the enemy from within. i want to play for you what they told us. >> they're now the party of suppressing people's rights under the guise of misinformation. yes, donald trump is correct. >> they'll say and do anything in order to get in. it's all about power. >> there's no morals, no values anymore. it's a war on religion. i think they're bound and deter

not just john kelly but a wide swath of of people who worked in the national security area from john boltoner, too many others, have expressed varying degrees of concern that the guardrails will be off next time, and that donald trump will try to do the things that he wasn't quote unquote allowed to do in the first go around. yes, they are extremely worried about it. which is why i think you hear more and more of this discourse over the last couple weeks. >> you also report that donald trump, then president trump, and july 2020, he promised to cover the funeral costs of 20-year-old army vanessa geyon, who had been bludgeoned to death and then he inquired about the cost and we need. trump became angry. " it does not cost 60,000 bucks to bury an effing mexican." he turned her mark meadows and issued an order ,"dont' pay it, ff'ing he turned to mark meadows and issued an o -- ff'ing people trying to rip me off." >> my source was in the room. there were some people that were upset about it. i have connotes that reflect that shock. it is shocking if you worked for him for a while because there i

john bolton, his advisory, called him a menace, the other day that trump is too dumb to be a fascist. maybe better than fascist to the core, who is to say. rex tillerson saying trump was ignorant of american history. and olivia troye said trump did not want to give aid to disaster victims in california because he did not think they voted for him. again, this barely scratches the surface of how many people, again, they are not libs and not people whose job it is to say nasty things about donald trump. just the people that worked for him. former trump officials telling horror stories about trump's mental and moral capacity as president. >> i think he is unfit for the precedency. >> he called the president a moron after a july national security. >> trump and vance can not be trusted with the constitution. >> i think it is important for people to understand that they are rolling the dice on a second trump term. >> so egotistical, he runs risky acts so he can show he is get away with it. >> trump asked me to choose him over the constitution and i chose the constitution. >> king or king or

then mike pompeo teamed up with another traitor, john bolton, stabbed his commander in chief in the backif donald trump brings any of them back into his administration, he will win, then that would mean he is a man without principles and brains. pompeo says that we need to bomb moscow and st. petersburg. trump says nothing of the sort. of course, there are differences, but donald trump's problem is that he... lacks an electorate in the establishment, your president, vladimir putin has spoken about this, and i think he was right. american presidential candidates run and make promises during the campaign to do this, to do that, but as soon as they are elected, people in dark suits with briefcases come and sit next to them and explain how reality works, all promises are forgotten, donald trump is not connected to the establishment, in order to... run the country he will have to create a cabinet of people who belong to the establishment, people who are against his strategy with all their guts, and mike pompeo is a representative of this establishment, mike pompeo may not become a member of t
