I have zero respect for Bolton. Instead of speaking up for our country, he kept silent for a book deal.

[dennisstafford]

Bolton viewed Trump as a threat to America yet refused to testify at Trump's second impeachment and then gave testimony in a book sold shortly thereafter for private gain. Bolton's political courage and criticism of Trump both accelerated with Biden's assuming the Presidency.

Should have told his story in the 1st impeachment, not his book deal. "They were all in on it."

[fretnesbutke]

Bolton, Barr, Pence, etc..same old story. Birds of a feather.. speaking up long after it would demand courage, and all on book tours. Spineless and sniveling greed. How many needed an insurrection to leave?

Where was all this candid talk when Bolton worked for Trump? He's no different than Trump, except he's always looking for what is good for Bolton.

News flash — this was happening when Bolton was in the White House with trump. No need to be surprised now.

[cynthiamarie]

bolton doesn't get any points here. He stayed silent when the national security of the U.S., and the free world, needed him to speak up. ✊️🇺🇲🇺🇦🗽🌻

[zim-zfmq]

Lol, John, you helped him do it. Jesus.

[wimvdputte]

The easy way to ease conscience: write a book and… Forget and forgive, right?

[jailbreak]

Bolton is as petty as Trump. He ignores Trump's economic policy toward China which had never happened since our outright export of technology. Move on from both of these guys, even as a conservative

[michaelmurphy]

Gee, John, such insight into our Colonel Slanders. It's a shame you put so much effort into HELPING HIM INSTEAD OF SAYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHAT YOU ACTUALLY KNEW. Obscene.

[KameraShy]

When it comes to self-serving promotion and bluster, Bolton is worse than even Trump. Zero credibility. 37 seconds of this video was enough.

[tedbaxter]

John Bolton is not a credible analyst and the host is not well enough versed in American politics to understand. No disrespect meant to the host.

[aclearlight]

Too bad Bolton SO OBVIOUSLY chose book sales over country. Gone is the window during which a braver, better Bolton might have had patriotic impact.

[peachkopp]

One question John, what would you do for a living wage if war didn't exist? You thought Donny was the second coming and now he's WHAT!? Damn you GOP keep changing the playing field. Ugh

[chadbentoski]

Times Radio should never ever give Bolton any airtime ever again. Like if you agree.

[gaius_enceladus]

People are focusing on Bolton. I couldn't care less about Bolton!
All that matters is - is the statement true or not?
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO SAID IT. Is the statement true?
I think it IS and that Putin *IS* taking advantage of Trump.
Trump wants to cut aid to Ukraine, does he not? Why would Putin NOT take advantage of that?
NEVER underestimate Putin. He is desperate and if he sees someone that he can use to help him out of his hole, he will do it.

[cekuhnen]

It is amusing that Bolton thinks that the dinner Trump had would harm him - seriously ? This pales compared to what he else did

[inregionecaecorum]

Putin is smarter than Trump for sure, but not by a very large margin.

[jeremyearl]

Kerry is absolutely correct about emissions and this in no way indicates a lack of support for Ukraine
