    1. @Flying Savage I don’t want a link or YT video! I want objective fact PROOF! Like, if I claim I was robbed and then I share a video of the incident, that’s EVIDENCE! My word claiming I was robbed is not evidence! Stop believing people, force them to show you EVIDENCE!

    2. @druid139 Your pejorative comments are shameful. Please learn and use proper manners, and treat others with respect. Thank you.

    1. @Matt Rogers *- You’d be a FOOL, if you didn’t think I could produce another 6 Sources, Confirming the same thing.*

    2. @snowcat 9000
      yup.
      They love to demonize people who protest against police abusing their authority, using unnecessary deadly force, and using biased police tactics, but when it comes to the Jan 6th attack on the Capitol,……… crickets.

    3. @Benjamin Levine
      That will only happen on the day pigs fly and I start crapping $.

      You go ahead believing fantasies.
      Are you a flat earther and Scientologist too?

    4. I was worried Biden was a fascist but if it takes 10 seconds of thought he clearly can’t be. 5 seconds must be his absolute limit. Phew I was worried for a moment!

    1. @Scott Grattan “when the truth comes out “ lmaooooooo imagine the shock of it finally hitting you years later the truth was always out and you fell for the con! Everything and everyone around him are disgraced. It was political suicide to be in his administration. The “truth “ is plain as day. Conspiracy theories are all you have without any actual proof or evidence yourself of anything you speak of.

    2. @David R ooooooo you are one of those…

      No PrOoF I’m guessing those thousands of affidavits thousands of video evidence. and the Audits happening around the country are all “cOnSpIrAcY tHeOries” then?

      You simpletons are In for a shock when it all comes out hahahahhaha

      We will be laughing you can marrk my words.

      If you believe Jim Crow Joe had the most votes in history then you might be abit lost 😂😂😂😂😂😂

  1. I can’t stand Bolton. He’s disingenuous, and just as self-serving as Trump and the rest of them – he’s smarter, and more articulate, so he comes off better, but make no mistake, he’s working his own angle. We can handle “complicated answers”, so spit it out, don’t talk in b.s. circles, Bolton.

    1. @Ryan Pearl I’ve never known CNN to post a conspiracy theory or fake news story. If you know of any, you’re welcome to cite them. I cited several examples from Fox.

      Pew Research found that CNN is one of the most trusted new sources in the United States. Only ABC News is more trusted, and only by one percentage point. CNN and NBC News are tied for second place.

    2. @Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 Stagflation is inflation that accompanies economic stagnation due to reduced demand. By contrast, the economy is growing quickly today.

      Jobs have been added every month of Biden’s presidency, including 850,000 new jobs in June. Employment has increased in every industry: mining, manufacturing, retail, transportation, professional services, leisure and hospitality, and the list goes on. Unemployment has dropped to 5.9%. The stock market performed better in Biden’s first 100 days than under any president in the last 75 years.

      In the 1970s, the federal bank tightened monetary policy, leading to stagflation. Today’s fed has taken a sharply contrasting approach. They’ve been very slow to tighten policy.

      Biden’s plans for another major stimulus program is likely to feed demand, rather than lift supply. While this may be inflationary, it may also support business, consumer, and investor confidence.

      Businesses are expected to increase their capital investments. Intel has already announced the opening of a foundry to increase US and European semiconductor production capacity.

      The EU’s service sector has been lagging the recovery but is expected to rebound.

      In all, the current economy is defined by solid growth together with reflation as the economy recovers. So, stagflation is “not our base case,” Schwab has reported.

  2. Great question Briana! He didn’t testify because he wanted money for his book. He chose money over country. Shame and disgraceful of Bolton! He should man up and just admit it.

    1. Have you seen the arizona audit senate hearing? They found massive irregularities that makes Trump the winner. “74,243 Mail-In Ballots were counted with ‘no clear record of them being sent.’ There were 18,000 voters who were scrubbed from the voter rolls after the election. They also revealed that the voting system was breached or hacked (by who?) Very big printer and ballot problems with different paper used, etc., and MUCH MORE.” While this, according to the Senate, is preliminary, the final results will be announced at a later date

    2. @Doris Marin you realize trump actually handled the pandemic better than most nations, the democrats even admitted that in private calls that have been leaked. It’s not his fault he doesn’t have jurisdiction over what states can and can’t do and that they intentionally ignored his recommendation to make covid worse so they can blame him and make him look worse. He secured the production of all the medical equipment we would need and distribution along with making a vaccine. He locked down travel early and he was called a fascist for it. You are ignorant to how he handled covid, many nations even publicly stated how well he did.

    3. @Flying Savage How much of that was Trump though and how much of that was Trump ranting about not being able to fire Fauci? Vaccination was handled well because it involved payments to American pharmaceutical companies who lobby hard and donate hard. However the death rate was not good at all, compared to other countries.

  3. Trump’s claim that he’s “the Chosen One” is not capable of 10 seconds of thought since he’s really “a false prophet”.

    1. @silverlake girl I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the great contributions of the Democrats community to our society. I love driving down there streets and seeing the American flag waving so proudly in every yard. Their peaceful and generous nature make them ideal neighborhoods family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture.  You can witness this by their strict adherence to our local and Federal laws. Their commitment to academic excellence en-riches our schools and services as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as people.  Just watching their Special kind of Science change our society is simply amazing. I mean,who ever thought there are 187 Genders? Real estate values are fueled by the mix of Democrat Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nature of all they have achieved through their enthusiasm for self improvement by hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature. Without their industrious and creativity drive, we would undoubtedly be poorer as a nation.

      Well,except for the Mass Shootings,The Racist, Lawless,Violence, Junkies. Self Entitled, Christian Hating, Antifa, Loving, Police Hating, Pedophile Loving, Hating, Abortion Loving,

    2. @Logan M oMg rEaLLy!? LOL Ofcourse…”later date”….”soon”…”eventually”…..”it’s coming”….Notice it’s never done? That’s the whole strategy. To constantly keep you uncertain. When you don’t have the money, tell them the checks still in the mail

    3. @Logan M lmao. Not only is that the fakest news I have heard of the day, but purging someone from a voter roll AFTER an election would have zero actual impact on that election itself. Do you not even know what voter rolls are?

    4. @Logan MCyber Ninjas seems not to have actually understood how early voting ballots work in Arizona at all. Not all early ballots are mailed-out. some are cast at in-person early voting locations.

      They also were making their attempt tally what ballots were sent using the WRONG satay files.

      It’s more bogus bullshit from the fraudit

  4. He put his checkbook above justice and the people, business as usual, what a dumb arse! She is stunning as usual!

  5. He is a bit late with trying to clean up his bad behavior, he didn’t give a hoot for the well being of the US, he only thought about the money his book was going to get hime, he is an experienced hypocrite.

    2. @Matty ice Did you know that sarcasm is considered the lowest form of wit and the highest form of ignorance? Just a thought.

    3. maybe he stayed with trump because he was trying to make sure there was an adult in the room.

    4. @agf1700 Sarcasm is not a form of wit but rather a way to gauge those around you and their level of thought. Sarcastic people use it and don’t over do it which would then indicate anger that then devolves into insults. Sarcasm is used to make others snap out of complacency and actually think about the truisms in the subject at hand, question the accepted notions and to stop being a follower. Know the differences between sarcasm, cynicism and insults. Sarcasm is a tool to get others to think for themselves. Once a seed of doubt is planted it will grow or it won’t, time will tell. Sarcasm is good.

  6. Though his comments are accurate, it is hard to see John Bolton as anything more than a self serving opportunist. If he didn’t ignore Congressional subpoenas, Jan 6. might not have occurred. He bears responsibility as well.

    1. Responsibility for what happening no one dying apart from the rioters and a couple of people ironically dying for different reasons and an afternoon of cleaning is what he’s responsible for

    2. Bolton just saw the Trump presidency as an opportunity to advance his own personal political and financial agenda. It obviously worked…

    3. @TurtleGaming HD The Capitol had not been breach since 1814. That is more than inconsequential.

  7. Not only juvenile and unbecoming, it’s his standard comment whenever he’s called out by someone.

    1. Have you seen the arizona audit senate hearing? They found massive irregularities that makes Trump the winner. “74,243 Mail-In Ballots were counted with ‘no clear record of them being sent.’ There were 18,000 voters who were scrubbed from the voter rolls after the election.

Very big printer and ballot problems with different paper used, etc., and MUCH MORE.” While this, according to the Senate, is preliminary, the final results will be announced at a later date.

    2. @Logan M I’ll hold judgement. This could be fishy from either side. Not surprising coming from a fishing expedition. Without video evidence a fisherman could be exaggerating.

  8. Talk about self-serving!!! He kept quiet just because he wanted to preserve the plan for his book coming out!! What a disgraceful human!!!

    1. I fell into it and bought the book, but returned it after I read it and got my money back. He should have testified.

    2. @Robert Hunt and with help of the Lincoln project. Biden won the election. Not saying I support Lincoln project, but it was definitely a group effort and just proves Americans are stronger together.

    1. She has writers… and she likes to eat baked cookaroaches on TV. I’ll never be the same after seeing that.

  9. “Complicated answer”…calling bs on that. You can’t change the past, Bolton, when you chose not to speak out. Thanks, Brianna (sp?) for calling him on it.

    1. @ConcernedCitizen concerned clown is back how you been my dear? It’s pretty simple if everyone including the pilot and flight attendants on a plane are fully vaccinated then wearing masks would NOT make anyone on thee plane safer. So when everyone in this country gets fully vaccinated the mask requirements will be gone. Amazing how with trumpanzees always it’s monkey see monkey do except when it comes to the vaccine ?!?!?! He says ” storm the capital ” and what do they do, storm the capital. He takes a vaccine in secret instead of using that golden opportunity to set a great example to his insurrectionist base. Then finally admits he took it that’s when a big surge of trumpanzees got vaccinated and the lines were long.

    2. Thank You Americans for speaking your thoughts. thank God it’s , ” We the People “.
      Constitution doesn’t lie , founding fathers were not that difficult to understand.
      Why do U think , it’s called Commom Law.

    3. @Rmy1 on a scale of 1 to 10 for a paragon of integrity, i would put bolton at 7 and trump at 0. integrity is a three syllable word and republicans can’t use these.

  10. I freaking love this host. She asks questions that other people don’t. I like how she said “we’ll never know will we? “ because it’s true. He made a choice. He wants to justify it to rewrite his reputation. He let the country down but doesn’t want to admit that to himself. Just another coward.

    1. Arizona election audit found 74,000 fraudulent mail in ballots and over 11,500 ballots from people who weren’t registered to vote, I’ll give you a hint who all those votes were for… biden

  11. So, Mr Bolton, where were you calling out Trumps lies and dangerous flirtations with authoritarianism while you were near the center of power? A little late, methinks.

    1. very late. and now they expect people to “buy their book(s).” It’s intellectually disgusting that the people who should have protected our democracy and rein in the clown, in fact… enabled him up to point of where we are right now. #TwoCorinthians

    2. @Duke T. so not publishing a book about someone is enabling them? When there still isn’t a shred of evidence for any of the democrat claims? It would have done nothing but empower leftists, and we don’t need any more of that, it turns into riots, murders, and lives ruined.

  12. Where were all these “patriots” when Trump was actively trying to destroy our democracy? Crickets. These men aren’t patriots for standing up and calling out trump after he left office. They are cowards, nothing more.
