This is the first criminal charge against cosby who has faced similar allegations by upwards of 50 women. Prosecutors say cosby urged former Temple University employee to take pills and drink wine leaving her unable to respond to cosbys sexual advances. Montgomery County District attorney kevin steel says they reopened the case after new evidence supporting the charge surfaced this year. Prosecutors job is to follow the evidence wherever it takes us. Sometime that means whenever it comes to light when. U. S. Federal judge unsealed legal filings that contained references to the civil deposition and we learned about allegations from other victims under similar circumstances, reopening this case was not a question. Rather, reopening this case was our duty today, after examination of all the evidence, we are able to seek justice on behalf of the victim.

Watch now with xfinity on demand your home for the best entertainment this holiday season. Tom the u. S. S. Harry truman an started launching airstrikes against the Islamic State. The carrier arriving in the persian gulf after a two month u. S. Carrier in the middle east, and now theyre striking targets in iraq and syria. The truman just last week had a close call with an iranian rocket which came within 1500 yards of the carrier. Joining me now, former u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. And American Enterprise Institute Senior fellow john bolton and Fox News Contributor. Mr. Ambassador, good to see you. This business with the iranians shooting rockets and we have a carrier in place. Is it a showdown or is it just kind of a i dont know what, gnats flying around. Serious . Its potentially serious. Getting the truman on station puts us back to where we should be and highlights how thinly spread our naval assets are around the world. Irans behavior is intended to show both the United States but countries in the region and really worldwide that theyre riding high. Theyve got the nuclear deal, theyre about to get 100 billion or more of assets unfrozen, economic sanctions could come off and Nuclear Program continues basically uninhibited. So i think were going to see more of it. Its an obvious signal to the Oil Producing monarchies on the Arabian Peninsula that irans military power continues to grow. Its a bad sign for the United States, but a bad sign for stability in the middle east as well. Tom mr. Ambassador, am i reaching here by saying iran is taking advantage because they know they can . Very much along the same lines as Vladimir Putin basically going nothings going to happen. The United States isnt going to do a thing. I dont think youre overstating at all. I think our adversaries around the world, our friends as well, have sized up the pchlt they dont know who will win in november of next year but know theyve got another year of barack obama and theyre going to take advantage of it. What iran is doing, what we see putin doing in syria, in eastern europe, former soviet union, what china is doing in the South China Sea is all part of the same picture and its very disturbing. It means in the next 12 months that the pace and scope of threats we might face will increase and a new president , whoever it turns out to be, is going to face an International Situation thats actually perhaps substantially worse than what weve got right now. Tom when you say 12 months, sounds like its close. You can do a lot in 12 months if you are dedicated to try to achieve some goal for your country in 12 months. When nobody is going to stop you. Absolutely. Its a very perilous time, were beginning to see the implications, it applies to the terrorist groups like taliban and al qaeda in afghanistan it. Applies to isis, both in the middle east but the potential for terrorist attacks in the u. S. And western europe. Its going to come in different kinds of formats and im not sure that were ready for it or the white house will be prepared to do much about it unfortunately. Tom imagination could run wild over 12 months. The other issue is we had all the sanctions. If i remember right. You said no, they were actually helping our cause. Were lifting those sanctions so why dont they not lift them . Why dont they say youve been violating the agreements . Lets go ahead and keep the sanctions in place . Congress should do that. Its a complicated issue. In part, congress has a Real Advantage since many of the sanctions were put in place against iran not just because of the Nuclear Program but because of irans longstanding support for international terrorism. The vienna agreement on irans Nuclear Program only requires the lifting of those sanctions related to the Nuclear Program. So congress has an opportunity here, and i think were going to see a real clash with the white house about whether sanctions remain in place because theyre fully justified by irans continuing support for terrorism and other state sponsors of terrorism like the assad regime and syria. Tom that would take another whole show is the question about congress and will they lead on something . Is there leadership do that . We gotta run. Ambassador john bolton, good to see you, happy new year. Happy new year, tom. Tom be sure to vote in tonights poll cast your vote at loudobbs. Com. And can you follow lou links to everything are found at loudobbs. Com. Disney just invented something really spectacular.

Boston dynamics robotic mule has proved to be too loud to fight alongside real marines in real worldcom bat. The project on hold. Maybe they should call disney. Up next, jeb bush trying to shake off low energy label. Will it work . Well take it up with ed rollins. And around one Million People flocking to times square to see the ball drop tomorrow night on new years eve. Well have the details and the preparations coming up. Feel a cold coming on . New zicam cold remedy nasal swabs shorten colds with a snap, and reduce symptom severity by 45 . Shorten your cold with a snap, with zicam. Tom donald trump, he likes you. Well, until he doesnt. Such is now the case with one of the leading republicans in congress, trey gowdy, the head of the benghazi committee. This summer trump said gowdy would make a great attorney general but that was before gowdy endorsed senator marco rubio. Trump now says gowdy is a loser, for failing to nail Hillary Clinton on benghazi. And on fox and friends today gowdy explained his decision this week to back rubio. So i greatly admire the tim scotts of the world and frankly Ronald Reagan and marco rubio who can communicate our message in an aspirational hopeful way, and that to me is persuasive. When you like someone personally, you agree with them on the issues and y
