including vladimir putin but iran iran is a good example. it s not just cover for their nuclear program, people say well, we can cooperate with russia on antiterrorism. iran is the leading state sponsor of terrorism, central bank for terrorism for 35 years. a country that has a close relationship with iran is aiding and abetting terrorism. greg: embassador bolton, great to see you. thanks for being here. a winter storm slamming the east coast. that looks like no fun. snow and ice leaving behind a big mess. a busy week for president-elect trump, cabinet confirmation hearings will get underway soon. what kind of fireworks can we expect to see? that s next, former house speaker newt gringrich. i think that mitch mcconnell
mr. bolton or others, does that not absolve him from being asked the serious questions about relationship with russia. to your point, megan, disturbing opposition to sanctions on sanction, the paris climate agreement and how he views putin. given these serious concerns, the members of the foreign relations committee both democrat and republican because i said the distinction was bipartisan should be given ample time to study record and world view and then ask several rounds of extensive questions. charles humaner again. my question is this going to be as big maybe a supreme court pick in terms of the response that you re going to get particularly from the democrats? let s look at the job. the term world view is used. the job as the secretary of state is to carry out the president s doctrine on behalf of the united states. his world view thinks he s done in the past, they exist, but if he doesn t do the job of the president or what the president asks him to do, he can be fired
