mr. powell had described in his speech before the world. and in much of his argument had been made on faulty intelligence. but powell is one of the few people involved in that utter debacle -- to at the very least publicly seek redemption. speaking at harvard in 2015, he said quote, i will regret it. i always will always regret it. it was a terrible mistake on all our parts. powell also reflected on how he was misled at the u.s. representation -- to learn that it was drafted -- the crumbling of that deception, the greatest and disinformation campaign of its time, played an important role i think and putting on the desk to tractor it to where we are today. paul's family confirmed and their announcement of his death that he was vaccinated. a spokesman also said his immune system had been compromised by a cancer called multiple myeloma. and yet, inevitably, with the information landscape we find ourselves in, 18 years after that fateful presentation at the un, drafted by chief cheney's office to further their agenda of war, those seeking to dis

mr. powell, this is just the wrong rubric. why don't we start with covid itself which isn't tied in as much as you think it is. at least what it comes to the media. we're discovered a tremendous number of people who have left the work force many for good. who could blame them wall street often forgets that 700,000 people, 700,000 people have gotten covid in this country. you can't get this virus spontaneously. someone has to give it to you. the best way to stay healthy is to stop going to work. so millions of people did precisely that perfectly rational decision. i bring this up because the hardest hit fluft industries and the bottlenecks, a few years ago the government changed the regulations on how many hours a truck driver could drive per day because they didn't want overworked drivers getting into accidents. that also make truck driving less attractive. yes, then the pandemic hit and made things even worse it was a one-two punch against the lucrative, lucrative business that was trucking nobody ever worried about shortage

of the fact that he was a former secretary of state, but i always referred to him as general powell, not mr. secretary. because that's where i got to know him, and it's just heartbreaking to see that he has passed away, because like so many not just journalists but americans, we're going to miss him tremendously. he was an inoperation, a powerful figure, and just a wonderful guy. he loved joking around, he loved having fun. we spoke about, you know, growing -- he was growing up at the bronx, and it was just a wonderful opportunity that i had as a journalist. i was grateful to be a journalist, to be able to cover someone like him. >> wolf, thank you so much. we really appreciate you lending your voice to this today, as this country says good-bye to general colin powell, as you are someone who covered him so closely. thank you. >> thank you. >>> we're joined by jamey gangelle who covered a number of presidential administrations and jamie, as we noted, colin powell, general powell was someone who had the ear of several different presidents, and someone who can truly be considered, really almos

the invasion of panama that that only was -- not only was colin powell a key figure in the secretary of defense at the time was dick cheney. mr. lovato: thank you. the story of colin powell is what i would call a tragic tale of militarism in the service of declining empire. it also previews the age of intersectional empire that clarence laid out in terms of how race is being deployed by the military stick -- militaristic bipartisan consensus. panama comes about right after the central american engagement in el salvador and guatemala and nicaragua and that was preceded by the vietnam war where you have a decline in the morale and the sensibilities of the u.s. military, having suffered a severe defeat in vietnam. powell was part of a caliber of leaders try to figure out how to create a post vietnam analyst for the u.s. military machine. one thing i want to make clear is that the powell doctrine of overwhelming force, bringing in the public into supporting u.s. war, clearly defined national security objectives and are still war polici. colin powell's political career was one thing in terms of race and being pro-abortion. inerms
