this is a hallow eed institutio that makes the law of the land. you do not get to sit on that court, in my view, by going up and yelling at united states senators by writing a speech for the first ten minutes where he talks about, i m so qualified, i went to yale, i worked so hard. none of that would negate the fact that he could have still engaged in a sexual assault. right? and so, he went on for ten minutes talking about himself. he took 10 or 15 minutes before he even mentioned the victim. and to me, when it comes to the supreme court, and this is hurting the institution of the supreme court. this feels also very political to me, that he s now justices don t write op-edds. they sit and they don t speak other than through their opinions. i m troubled by so many parts of this. but this to me does not make it better. it s interesting, because when you read it, and i encourage people to read it, it was just posted by the wall street journal. he says he regrets some of the things
but folks when it comes to unleashing the president impulse there is no issue than the foreign policy bringing in john bolton who is a big proponent of the war in iraq and written op edds about using a strike with iran and north korea. and joining me now is barry mccaffrey and a national security analyst. let me start with john bolton. i m sure you know him and spent time with him. give me your take on john bolton. well i ve watched ambassador bolton over the years. look, this is a very talented guy. he s extremely intelligent. he knows the global community. he writes beautifully. he s very forceful speaker. he s possibly the worst choice to be the national security adviser you could have imagined. with the example of the of a perfect national security adviser would be brent skoe
