" He may be part of the first suspected al-Qaeda cell uncovered in the US since 9/11 of course -- speaking of Ryan Seacrest no. Talking about how is he able laws I Z a Colorado man who triggered a rash of terror raids on Monday -- New York City. Authorities fear it may be involved in a plot to bomb our subways -- that."

" Evidence gathered through email wiretaps and an informant -- without documents on bombs and bomb making in his car."

" Also William Ayers autobiography. My kid my next guest understands terror better than any wind -- Program John Bolton former US ambassador to the UN and Fox News contributor he -- diplomacy like build and sell the -- and ambassador okay FBI. Director Robert Mueller said the plot --"

" No imminent danger if -- just being nice he doesn't want as the panic because this it doesn't look pretty serious."

" Yeah I would've thought that it says it's a pretty good side of imminent danger that there out arresting people and searching their houses and their cars and whatnot. I think this plot was they think was on the verge of coming to fruition that's why they moved yet yet that this guy -- part of the first al-Qaeda cell we've uncovered. Is that really true I mean I. -- we might have mustered up others. Yeah I was a little surprised by that maybe they have more direct evidence of of the linkage to al-Qaeda or something like that but obviously have been a lot of terror arrest in the country in the past seven years and I think I think that's that that's -- their active here so what happens -- this -- Is -- what do we do with them. Well he's apparently not under arrest yet I think that there's some speculation that maybe this thing. That came out in public before they were quite ready but if they've got the good design for goodness sakes arresting and charging with something yeah yeah Agassi just keep that from Pakistan what could he be doing there. Well have visiting relatives I suppose that this is. I'm sure part of what they're worried about that perhaps he did go back to get instructions are materials are. Confer with al-Qaeda leaders in the hidden in Pakistan and -- I wanna move Obama speaking speaking at the UN General Assembly -- Wednesday. And you -- off head about it about the things he's the what he should say can you give me the -- sits up. I really can't read. It. I think I think you're gonna see adulation at the UN I don't think he has to say any thing I think she'll get a standing ovation. You know when bush used to speak today UN General Assembly called in his annual visit to the wax museum. But but you know Obama has a higher approval rating overseas and it does in the US and and you'll -- it next week yes holly I'm curious like what. Are there any awkward meetings. That you see between leaders like when leaders that don't like each other. I they don't see I I I -- they put -- good faces what what happens. Well it's like a maneuver and am on a dance floor to stay away from somebody you don't want but you know there are lots of opportunities. The president's got -- the Security Council at the head of state level. Libby is on the Security Council so. Smart target I think until I can go up to and get him a copy of his book give -- a big bear hug. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the president of Iran will be there are lots of opportunities for the two of them to get together I'm looking forward to next week. I think -- probably gonna catch a movie. Yes I think -- you know -- right -- handled -- like I'm Greta -- that's -- got to talk you've got for. Not Sarkozy said today that I -- is still working -- a new program. I think -- this. I mean we're going to negotiate with them but not on our terms. Right that they Iran -- played so like a violin played this administration these negotiations are like two ships passing in the night. And how bad is it for the United States. President Sarkozy of France takes a harder line against Iran's nuclear weapons program -- President Obama that that shows the trouble were around -- that is scary."

" I got to ask you I read about -- Israel has a bunker. Pop up your network that shelters are leaders I'm sure we have one in the United States -- here's why I'm curious what that cut off. Like like other people that are allowed in the bunker and the people that aren't in allowed in the fallout in the bunker know that they're not allowed in and did that bother them."

" Yeah there's a -- real hierarchy there's also another hierarchy of who gets to leave Washington when the nuclear weapons are coming in and if you're not on that helicopter out here there's nobody -- of -- probably."

" That it violated sure exactly it out hello after the kid again I could laugh from New York yeah -- last question Venezuela even Hillary Clinton. Is concerned about this -- wouldn't do anything."

" Now I don't think so I think I think -- you -- Hugo Chavez meeting with the Iran -- meeting with the Russians trying Russian tanks and air defense systems talking about. Nuclear cooperation and in the meantime our Latin America policy. Consist of joining with Hugo Chavez to dump on the government of Honduras and you figure that out it's crazy I."

" We -- always a pleasure -- best of both -- always eye opening for all of us even Billy he's wrong. So do you have a comment on this show and tell -- the red -- foxnews.com. Kind of legal -- hello my direct line policy went to the I did 50 still to come out that report from."

Nuclear weapons in general. But what -- my credit on that level one of the interest in pointing and Gordon you've written about this I think you understand this very well what North Korea has gain from the possession of nuclear weapons despite extraordinary. No matter what -- means we provide when you consider that nuclear weapons that given. This backward country and extraordinary opportunity to place and central role in world affairs is clearly due to the fact that nuclear weapons and if you look at Iran. -- political influence in the Middle East has grown large port. Because of the possibility that will develop nuclear weapons so when you consider the cost in the benefits the benefits are so significant compared to the possible costs. That there is no nation having nuclear weapons that has willingly going willingly to say you know what we're going to abandon. Nuclear well -- it willingly noble so what you need is some sort of structure section I -- right it's my -- exactly but even then even with the sanctions I'm saying. Let's assume for the sake of argument that refined all petroleum is we we have some sort section networks probably will but let's assume just for the sake of argument that does work. Why would the Iranians give up nuclear weapons because of that. Even at that -- the case largely because what influence they possess in creating Shia crescent throughout the Middle East is due in no small part to the existence of nuclear weapons of the possibility of nuclear weapons .

the decision that instead of focusing in on rogue nations like Iran. North Korea instead they're gonna focus on trying to read the entire world and this is word multi -- and -- and and I read the entire world of nuclear weapons rather than zero Inman. On any of the bad players the bad guys who are out to acquire nuclear weapons or bolster their programs. 44 and non non peace. Peaceful purposes.

Gordon is that this is your area of expertise Margaret nuclear showdown North Korea takes on a lot that it spoke about -- Have you are you today. I think one of the things that a President Obama wants to do is sort of create this global wave against nuclear weapons . And therefore in the process swamp the North Korea's and the rams and the Syria's of the world. And in that sense it could work if they really devote all their

to be abandoned article mine and constitution which prevents. The development of nuclear weapons -- in Japan says largely because of possible Chinese adventurism. On North Korea can send a missile from Pyongyang to four. So we've got to develop nuclear weapons would that be.

to be deathly afraid of a nuclear Japan. He -- South Korea and a nuclear Taiwan China has every reason in the world to. Nuclear weapons and all of these countries marginalized China's power they sort of make China relatively less important and the Chinese haven't quite figured out that the north Koreans can point their nuclear weapons north and west as well as south and he.

continuing to processes materials and go forward with its program doesn't stop North Korea from doing that. A one headline that was missed by a lot of folks just a couple weeks ago was that there was a ship that was caught going from North Korea to deliver. Some sort of weapons some sort of nuclear weapons type material. Too -- to Iran remember that was just have a couple weeks ago. Absolutely so we know that North Korea's up to no good we know that Iran is up to no good. But here we are focusing on in this world

AQ Khan who was the godfather where the father of and a nuclear weapons Pakistan and we know that Pakistan has nuclear weapons . And -- we certainly hope and keep our fingers crossed that they're guarded sufficiently but that he gets out on house arrest

of faced with a situation where you know Pakistan could splinter the nuclear weapons could end up in the hands of people who would. Could use them. At and have said that they want to use

that China and Russia will undoubtedly. Veto anything that -- in the Security Council -- administration has come to the conclusion that we cannot stop him further enrichment of uranium. As a consequence the view is why don't we have a Japanese solution for an. That is let them develop all of the the thought this up Faisal wrote the material what's necessary for the creation of nuclear weapons just don't build. Don't build a bomb and now that deal I think it's probably the one that's in the works. I'm

diplomacy do whatever is necessary in order to prevent the creation of nuclear weapons in Iran. If that does not happened Israel was left with very few options now what the president of the United States
