so does former secretary of state madeleine albright. we begin, though, with breaking news in the former president's fight to keep documents from his administration out of the hands of the house select committee investigating him. just a day before the committee meets perhaps to take action against one of his former cronies, steve bannon, for d defying a subpoena. the man who's expressed contempt for the entire concept of being held accountable by anyone for anything he did, something -- well, he did something else to come -- come to know from him. he went to court to try to get his way. cnn senior legal affairs correspondent paula reid joins us now with the latest. so, what -- talk about this lawsuit. what is going on? >> so, here, anderson, trump is asking the court for, at most, granting his request to block lawmakers from actually obtaining these materials. and at the very least, he is asking them to delay lawmakers from obtaining these materials, arguing that these requests are so broad, his lawyers need more time to review them. no

secretary albright, thank you for being with us. i am sorry for the loss of your friend.owell that -- that you knew personally and professionally? >> well, i think as one of the warmest, kindest, smartest, and patriotic people that i met. and i, first, met him in 199 -- 1988 when he was national security adviser and i was working for michael dukakis and he was entitled to a security briefing. so i arranged that. and then, um, i have to describe the first meeting when we were in office, i was ambassador to the u.n. and colin powell -- we were all new -- and colin powell was chairman of the joint chiefs and he walks in. the hero of the western world. and i said i am a mere mortal female civilian. but he really commanded a presence with all the things that he had done and his warmth and his brilliance, frankly. and there's so many wonderful stories about the things that he did and our relationship. we were very, very good friends. >> secretary albright, as i said, you were the first woman to be secretary of state. secretary powell was the first black american to be secretary

>> joining us now, miss albright. i want to know, madame secretary.rms of who we lost? >> what i really thought about was he was in comparable. we lost an american hero, i have to say personally a very good friend. it's a public host and a personal lost and i do think we need to remember thim with all honors that he deserves. >> can you tell us about your relationship, we heard him on the phone with woob woodward talking about his, even when his health was failing. >> what do you remember about your recollection with him that struck you? >> well, i think it really was the apablety of something honest tactics with him. >> i think people don't realized that we were friends even before we were in office. and then we had some interesting discussions. we didn't always agree but we really after we were both out of office. we talked on the phone secretly and we did a lot of echbtss together. we got to know each other personal ily or even better in terms of things he was doing. >> he's interests in young people and education. he started a tool at city challen

nation's greatest minds to explore the inspiring story of america including conversations madeleine albright on the american immigrant, ken burns anwr come walter isaacson on innovation just to name a few. we invite you to enjoy our virtual program with david rubenstein, two from our leadership academy of office during a conversation by reagan foundation institute executive director john heubusch. >> it is a real privilege to be with david rubenstein this morning, who has written some remarkable books. i think this is your third, david, "the american experiment" is outright? >> that's correct. >> a real, real terrific study of some americans have been successful across so many fields, and what i loved about the book first to say, david, is it seems a synopsis of a number of the interviews that you have done in the past years of these fine americans. i just have to say it was a real treat but when i saw the title "the american experiment", here we are as a nation 230 some odd years old, and yet you, come te story that you are come to find to this day as an experiment. why is that? >> when the

sanctions on iran, you think it's a price worth paying like madeline albright with the 500000 iraqi children. now it says that the sanctions have never been directed against the medicine or you know, the heights. but the effects are caused by the mishandling of the iranian economy, the corruption among even the mullers themselves, who have grown there, they and their families grown. you know, the case of you, except that, you know, it's shoring up. i mean, cuba is a good example here. you sanction the country you create support for that government, whatever the color that government is, i think cube is a good example. the islands recently been swept by anti regime demonstrations. they're primarily from young people and this is, this is a significant in the for you 100 in the streets and it's going to be quiet now. thousands, thousands all over the island. i know in the book you're concerned about venezuelan help for cuba. the washington tank cpr claims 40000 children may be killed by sanctions on venezuela. why did you not want trump to meet madura? apparently trump expressed a desire to mee

as senator markey mentioned, i wasn't state department spokesman, i accompanied secretary albright on june 30th 1997 to the handover to prc on -- up hong kong. and all of us remember but i particularly remember that day the commitments they made to the people of hong kong and to the rest of us around the world and the chinese have gone back on every one of those commitments. so, if we link that to taiwan, we obviously cannot trust china to meet the commitments its made on the taiwan issue. when congress passed the taiwan relations act, when administration after administration pursued a one china policy, we obviously did so on the presumption there would be peace in the cross-strait relation between taiwan and china. and there is no peace today. today there is assertiveness and aggression. we cannot trust the chinese on this issue. we have to be aware of their rhetoric, aware of it and the rhetoric of its leader and many other chinese leaders in recent months has been they intend to take back taiwan. our responsibility is to make taiwan a tough nut to crack. help it increase its asymme

moments most people would recognize because of news, working with the state department and madeleine albright to welcome president clinton, meeting yasser arafat and having a photo shaking his hands, and watching from the sidelines as president clinton spends two weeks trying to forge a middle east peace agreement. watching president bush early in his presidency welcome the blairs at camp david on a weekend, just two couples getting to know each other, just like you would do with two neighbors when one moves into the neighborhood. it's an important thing to watch from the sidelines. even though we get to serve there and see things, you have to remember, you're in the world for this brief time and you get to know some personal things about the families, but you're not of their world, and you have to understand and maintain that humility. so i'll tell two stories that are more personal in nature, because i think it helps to relate to families and parents. the first one is the final clinton weekend, four days nonstop, hundreds of guests coming through, dinners, a couple of musicians performing i

but i did have an opportunity in october of 2018 three years ago, with secretary madeleine alb albright and powell at creighton university to have a 90-minute conversation. at that particular juncture, he was critical of the trump administration. he talked about what it meant to be an immigrant from the bronx. ultimately from jamaica. and it was at a time when the country really felt like it was under assault. you had the jewish worshippers in pittsburgh at the synagogue who had been massacred. you had this trump ally who was going after, planting pipe bombs and also these immigrants coming from central america being called invaders, an infestation, from our former president. he was not shy in any way. very outspoken about the pride that he had that his parents came from jamaica and they were the product, one, a teacher, one, a soldier. >> that's why he wanted to give back to his country. he was so proud of being the son of immigrants. ha having given his family a new opportunity. a powerful message he would often give to young people. general, how challenging is it to be what the gener

opportunity to do which was about three years ago to the day is interview powell with secretary albrightgether about a 90-minute university at creighton university, and one of the things that he really emphasized was at the time the context of it was that you had to -- the jewish synagogue, 11 worshippers who had been massacred, the pipe bombs that were being sent to trump's enemies and then also, you know, this -- this criticism of an infestation of the words that were used by trump by a caravan coming into a country of imgrabs. he never forgot where he came from and he was so proud he was age grant of jamaican parents and said it was amazing they could have two children, a teacher and a soldier and only in america could he do that. >> and the decency, the upbring and the decency is what shaped his transformation in politics to go from a reagan/bush republican to someone who voted for president obama, endorsed joe biden and had an open disdain of donald trump for and the caustic way he did his business. >> general powell liked being from the bronx, liked that he went to cuny and he like

madeleine albright and he served under george in their cabinets as well. and so well respected. by republicans and democrats alike and just devoted his life to service his family is thank you and that they will miss him so much. and thank you for your condolences and condolences are pouring in all around this country to say thank you. rest in peace. colin powell, age of 84. >> also this morning, happening right now we have thousands of people across the bay area. as you can see here without power because of the rain storm that came through last night. cropper sarah stinson is live right now with the details. good morning, sarah. >> yeah, we're still trying to get ahold of pg e's. they can tell us any update as to when power is going to turn on, especially now as we head into the later part of the morning when people are actually starting to wake up and unfortunately starting their monday without power live here in crockett on kimono street. we can see a gas station completely out of commission because no power and then you can see this intersection, an example of many intersecti
