>> John Bolton's memoir indicates that Donald Trump did commit some of the accusations that
have been lodged against him by this impeachment investigation.
In fact, recent revelations indicate the Bolton was worried about some of the the financial
dealings that Donald Trump had with world leaders including the leader of Turkey and
China.
Now, keep in mind that John Bolton, former National Security Advisor, was loved by all
right wingers in the country.
He is a war hawk, he has been in Republican circles for decades.
But all it took was this memoir to make everyone turn against him.
Because everyone wants to bow down to Trump's power, and here's an example of that.
>> And as for John Bolton, well it's really disappointing if he ends up being just another
think tank type trying to cash in on his time in the White House.
And I like Bolton, he's been on the show a number of times, but he's a neocon who never
should have been hired by Trump in the first place.
>> John Bolton himself has been reduced to a tool for the radical Dems and the deep state.
>> This is beneath him.
>> Yeah, I think it's perhaps not as beneath him as far as you think.
>> Well.
>> Here's the man you to care about the national security of this country.
>> And the only reason anyone cares about what Bolton has to say is because he was Trump's
National Security Advisor, period.
We do not need to hear from him or read what he writes.
>> Donald Trump used to recite a poem about a woman who took a dying snake into her house
and nursed it back to health.
The snake did become healthy and then immediately whipped around and bit the woman.
As she breathes through her last breaths, the woman asks the snake, why did you do this?
Well, because I'm a snake, was the reply, that's what we do.
All of which somehow reminds us of disgraceful national security advisor John Bolton.
>> What a runted, corrupt, absolutely disgusting move for him to have made.
>> Bolton's a red herring, so as the entire idea of calling witnesses.
>> How much does it cost to sell out potential national security in your country?
>> The best thing here would be Ambassador Bolton to pull this book until Mr. Trump leaves
office, or at least until after the election in November.
>> Republicans in Washington tonight seem shocked to discover that Bolton has turned
and betrayed his former boss, Donald Trump.
But they shouldn't be shocked.
That's who John Bolton is, that's who John Bolton has always been, that's what John Bolton
does.
>> He is obviously so profoundly disappointed in John Bolton.
As, frankly, most of us who, at one time, thought he was a man of principle.
Now, there is one Republican who's standing by John Bolton, and it was also a person who
served in Trump's administration.
Former Chief of Staff John Kelly, John Kelly told CNN quote, if John Bolton says that in
the book I believe John Bolton.
He always gave the president the unvarnished truth and is a man of integrity and great
character.
>> Okay, so I feel like Bolton is Piggy in Lord of The Flies, and so he gets the conch,
and there's going to be consequences.
So, all these guys that you saw bashing him today, I could show you a thousand clips of
them in love with John Bolton.
>> I mean, Laura Ingraham referred to him as a neocon who should have never served in
Trump's administration.
Laura Ingraham is a neocon.
What does she think she is?
>> Laura, it's not like we don't know that you were in favor of Iraq War.
You said it a million times on air.
It's not like we don't know all of you with the slight exception of Tucker Carlson kind
of, we're all in favor of the neocons, you yourselves are neocons.
You're all loved John Bolton, you love the wars he started, you love the wars he wants
to start now, okay?
>> She said the only reason why anyone cares about what he has to say is because he served
in Trump's administration.
Didn't John Bolton work at Fox News?
>> That's right.
>> So- >> And that was before the Trump administration.
So why did you guys care?
Okay, and you love the one he was in the Bush administration.
So no, but complete loyalty is required, in fact principles are to be-
>> Ignored.
>> Extinguished.
>> Right.
>> So if you have any principles at all or you tell the truth at all, you must be destroyed.
So, look guys, this is what fascism looks like.
So, if one of your own says something that's true, seek and destroy.
The truth must be destroyed.
Now look at us.
Since John Bolton is saying negative things about Donald Trump, do we turn around go?
You know what, John Bolton is a great guy.
No, no, no, no, John Bolton is a terrible guy, and he is a neocon.
And he does want to start wars and we don't agree with him on anything on policy.
But in terms of who's right and who's wrong and who's telling the truth or not.
You have to look at the context and you have to see okay, who is more likely telling the
truth.
Given their track records, Bolton to be fair to him has never hid that he's a warmonger.
He said before he went to the UN as Ambassador under Trump, he said I wish I could take out
10 floors of the United Nations.
The reason why he's loathed among progressives is because how honest he is about how conservative
he is, and how he wants to start those wars and how he's a neocon.
And now he thinks we should attack Iran and how much he was in favor of the Iraq war to
this day.
So, he has a track record of being a terrible person.
He does not have a track record of being dishonest in that sense.
Donald Trump, on the other hand, 15,000 lies and counting.
Second of all, people inside the administration like John Kelly back up John Bolton.
All the other people inside the administration that testified back up John Bolton, and every
other piece of evidence backs up John Bolton.
That's why Laura Ingraham and the rest are desperate to no, no, no, don't have him testify,
red herring, red herring, don't have him testify.
Cuz if you hear it with your own ears and you watch it with your own eyes, you might
realize, my God, it's so obvious.
And by the way, last thing on this, whether it's China, Turkey, those are new deals.
Those are really, really interesting and now, it looks like there's allegations of personal
bribery for his family.
So that's massive, massive.
But on the issue of Ukraine where Bolton says, yes he told me.
Apparently he says this, we're going to have to have him as a witness.
He told me that he wanted to stop the Ukrainian aid until he got an investigation of Joe and
Hunter Biden.
Are we still being surprised by this?
Of course, of course he did.
I don't even understand how this a new revelation.
I know the importance of it because it's firsthand, but everybody knows that's true.
And even the Republicans though, even Cornyn, number two Republican in the senate.
He said look, the facts are not in dispute but we don't know if this rise the high crimes
or misdemeanors.
Okay, so you acknowledge, he did hold up the aid and it's because he did want his political
rival investigated.
>> I mean, that's really the only defense they have left, right?
And it's so weak and so pathetic.
Well, I mean yeah, he did all this stuff, but is it really that bad?
Yeah, it's bad, it's bad.
This is the type of corruption that should be a call for removal in the executive branch.
>> And guys, Democrats, for God's sake.
Look, I won't go through all the crimes, but just two related to Ukraine.
Asking for a foreign government's assisting in an election is 100% illegal.
If any of you did it while you were running for office, you would be guaranteed to be
arrested if we found out, guaranteed, okay?
And then saying you'll hold up US national security interests until you get an investigation,
that's the second crime.
That's the quid pro quo.
That's the bribery and extortion.
That is also obviously illegal, obviously.
Let alone the fact that he held up the aid and broken another law that he was supposed
to immediately give it was Congress authorized it.
That's a third crime just within the Ukraine story.
This whole conversation about did he do it or did he not is total and utter nonsense.
If we had actual journalists in this country, everyone would say, the journalists would
say, it is there's no question at all.
Even the Republican top leadership, John Cornyn admits there is no question about the facts.
He did it.
You want to have a question about, hey, I think the president should be above the law
and he should be allowed to break laws all the time.
Okay, well, you make that case and let's have
that debate.
