Unlike a lot of hosts who exploit their position to strut their knowledge, Imran does not indulge in long-winded, meandering questions. His questions are short, with just the right amount of context. Neither does he butt into the guest's reply. Well done, and thank you, Imran. I wish other hosts would learn from you.

I totally disagree with his argument on why he didn't help the Congress impeach Trump. It was because he had a book coming out. He didn't want to impede on its earning potential and this was a question he was asked in multiple interviews at the time...

[DJSmoothie]

He had a chance to at one point - but threaten to sue because it would hurt his new book. So basically, he's a traitor.

[psychotropicalresearch]

Yet another important, intelligent person who just doesn’t understand psychopathy

[leoalcaraz]

This is a lot of tough talk from a guy who is a self admitted draft dodger; wants to see himself as a Warhawk as long as he doesn’t have to fight them

[angryisaac]

He thought being president would change Trump into a responsible thoughtful person. HAHAHAHAHA. What always staggers me about Bolton is that he feels he is qualified to offer foreign policy advice on how to deal with dictators and despots whilst having such a poor grasp on how the narcissistic mind works.

[faiazali]

This guy too is one of the dictators of the world.

[Jessie-zmdc]

Show Donald Trump the money, and he would sell his soul.

[tomhanky]

Bolton knew exactly who Trump is when he joined his administration, as if Trump was such a complex character and so difficult to read. He helped to legitimise Trump and as a consequence he has some responsibility of the current state of the rep party and the extreme polarization of the american public

[danaoakton]

God save us from John Bolton as a President!

[gcanyon]

Bolton would be fantastic as president. Sharp, well spoken, no nonsense foreign policy, and strategy-minded.

[williamrunner]

Bolten has been called a war mongering psychopath. It's pretty clear that he never met a war he didn't like though, there's no question about that.

[meranamnatkhat]

He doesn’t want to be called a war monger but when you listen to his words, nothing is says indicates unity or .peace

[arnystieber]

Amazes me that Bolton can talk about coups as normal. “American interests” - millions have died for this. Sickening.

[XRPE]

Very illuminating. A good interview. Thank you.

[terrybreiland]

Bolton and Mitch belong in the same turtle pond .

[ArthurKegerreis]

Day late and a dollar short. He had much more significant opportunities to fight back against Trump and he walked away.

[mansooraqureshi]

The guy has a mind set, he is doing a job by dismantling countries, no matter how ruthlessly n how much Mayhem to Humanity. This is called trained mind of Imperialism., lots to take away from this interview from an insight. Thanks for the hard talk.

[ericferguson]

A career diplomat who loves nothing more than starting wars

[harbinger]

And what upsets me is the fact that they go around calling others Countries 3rd world an place guns at voter boxes in 🇺🇲💙🤔
