i was asked to talk about my time at the state department, when i worked with colin powell. i was asked to say 100 things about the council of foreign relations, where i work now. i will do that -- say one or two things about the council of foreign relations, where i work now. i would to spend some time on our conversation with the dean and my old buddy ruben, and then i want to open it up to you all. let's talk a little bit about the world. what is going on right now. as you would expect, from somebody who wrote a book with in itsd "disarray" title, i am not the cheery guy in the room. my kids call me daddy down her - - downer. you are about to find out why. if you're not paying attention. let's be blunt. thinkven years, if you about it, from the end of world war ii until recently, the world has had an extraordinary run. it is a typical in many ways, the degree of ability, prosperity, human advance on multiple levels. great power, competition was muted which had previously been the great driver of history. my concern is, and we look back on the last 70 years, rather than be

colin powell can't win.ter chance of winning the bronze in female gymnastics. >> chris rock, to me, is an intellectual power and he's an amazing satirist. but his talent and gift lies in how he makes observations. >> the white man thinks he's losing the country. you watch the news, we're losing everything. we're [ bleep ] losing. affirmative action. illegal aliens. we're [ bleep ] losing the country. losing? shut the [ bleep ] up. white people ain't losing [ bleep ]. if you're all losing, who's winning? it ain't us. >> chris was able to connect with black audiences and white audiences with the same words. >> [ bleep ] there ain't a white man in this room that would change places with me. none of you. none of you would change places with me. and i'm rich. >> chris is not even deferential to white or black people. and so the less fear you have in a comic the more powerful they are. >> i'm not talking about rich. i'm talking about wealthy. a white man gets wealthy, he builds walmarts and makes other white peopl

watts, a colin powell, a condee rice, they were in the republican movement in 2000s. this is a directional shift when you have a corey stewart, a patrick little as candidates nominated or candidates running under the gop banner. so i think the difficulty for the gop is not only in its leadership optics and in the president's rhetoric, but also the fact that there are no longer any credible african americans in any leadership role anywhere, it seems, in the congress or in the executive branch. it's hard to make up a particularly when you've got a changing landscape in the country not to even mention the lack of latino leaders in the very same party. so you've got to look at this in terms of where it's come from maybe 15 years ago to where it is directionally in the wrong direction if you consider the demographic shifts in the country for the gop. >> fair points. we are just getting started here on "kasie d.c." we're going to take you back live to the streets in washington as some of the most dramatic moments come from antifa protesters. >>> plus reality show plot twist

when i talk about foreign policy, when colin powell steps up and says we have to find the weapons of mass destruction in iraq, that is a mission most everyone can get behind. when the mission shifted to, we will create a democratic republic of iraq, that is where i was lost on that mission. friends did a great job trying to make that mission work. i did not agree that should have been a mission in the first place to congress never authorized it. we kept funding it. in a passive aggressive sort of way. but has been one of the challenges. congress has been passive aggressive about a lot of things are none more conspicuously than authorization of military force. they have given away their authority in article one. that and a couple other reasons, dodd frank, dynamics, may make out, if i can win come a would be pretty -- a pretty big honor to serve. a different way to defend the constitution than i ever thought i would get a chance to do. we put together a campaign where the manufacturing companies, we did not have a full marketing department. but we had a marketing firm. a young lady, p

and saddam hussein made it out of whole cloth whether colin powell was deceived as he claims he was or whether re he was smart enough to realize what was going on that's an open question but it was right from torture and it was the case with the torture works you get people to say what were you want them to say it's the only time it works and it only works with inaccurate information. you were of course at the cia under many presidents i wondered what you thought or made of the fact that britain's new home secretary sajid javid says that secret lists of people from m i five should be circulated in civic society to intervene on people to combat everything from isis to russia what he would do you think of that idea of secret lists secret lists you know what i remember of secret lists or one of the nazis came into the netherlands for example and each mayor had a secret list in those days it was on paper ok the names of all the citizens including their religion ok now the mayor's with some conscience destroyed those lists before the nazis get a hold of them the ones that wanted accommodate

he was part of a team along with colin powell and a couple of others who won operation desert storm one of the greatest victories in american history and i think that in all military history and i think he's very capable of governing, he was chief of staff at age 34 to president gerald ford, i think he brings a wealth of experience to the job. yes, sir. >> social security, you support individual -- [inaudible] >> how would you pay for transitional account? >> thank you. do i support retirement accounts, absolutely, you have to take surplus and put it into the social security trust fund in order to make it well uso that you can then invest some of your taxes that are earmarked for social security into private accounts, experts will tell you with the deficit that we have looming once the baby boomers reach, 20, 34, it varies with the economists, you have to have enough money in there so that people can continue to receive, to be allowed to invest that money into their retirement savings account, so that's what you have to do in order to make it work. right now your tax dollars as you know

. >> army officer colin powell, who we'll see again later in this course, promised that he would neverkind of scene, this kind of situation, happen to the united states again. the tensions between ford and the right wing of his party as this unfold worsened in july of 1975, when the soviet dissident traveled to the united states just a few months after the soviet union had kicked him out of their country. he was a well-regarded novelist and historian whose books had become rallying cries against communist power. conservative republicans hailed his visit to the united states as the visit of one of the leading critics of this broken policy, in their minds, of detente. president ford, though, decided he wouldn't meet with him when he was in washington because his advisers, including kissinger, believed this would cause irrepairable damage to any potential negotiations with the soviet unions and this decision infuriated conservatives in the party. even though ford signed a set of agreements with 35 nations at a summit in helsinki, which aimed to strengthen relations with the soviet union b

colin powell is had a lot in common. >> i think that's right. it goes back to the question you asked about the focus i mean, just ask. he went to her preview about when nothing is going to pay off in deciding what not to do as well as what to do. >> one last question before return to the the audience for q&a and discussion. at the end of the book, in your assessment rate that marshall like most americans never fully grasped the negative capability to chinese pride and continue to bring to diplomacy and reconcile with this notion of clashing the notions of power that were in the end to reconcilable. so my answer in its 80 maybe it was unwinnable. but talk about what are the lessons we should be trying now especially about china at a time when the relationship has always been complicated, but now you have xi jinping, the laws have been changed for as long as he's alive. there has been no chinese leader at this level of authority since now. are we better understanding than today? >> we're at this moment of collective dismay as we see a failure of c

bush's presidency and putin was getting some criticism from colin powell, from the u.s.aid yes, but we haven't heard it from president himself. i believe that's the way vladimir putin would look at this situation and say basically, well, we'll let trump's bureaucracy say what they need to say, but the president himself is assured me as recently as helsinki that he doesn't take this seriously, and i think that putin would get the message that this is a divided government, and that the president himself is not on the same page as his own bureaucracy. this is the right message. it's clear a year and a half in that no matter how many times his advisories say they care about russian interference and are determined to do something about it that trump himself has not -- is not on board with that policy. >> susan glasser, thank you. have a good rest of your evening. >> thank you. >> we'll be right back. - i'm at a time in my life where i wanna do business with companies who do right by me. - [announcer] the hartford is the only auto insurance company voted one of the world's mos

. >> if the look at the 1964 gulf of tonkin resolution and colin powell's speech in 2003 to the u.n. about uranium in iraq, they're both really spurious reasons to go in to a country and fight a war. but yet, 18 years on now from afghanistan, those veterans are treated very differently. and i think it again has to do with the way that afghanistan in '01 was framed for us, and iraq, obviously is another question entirely. but, i don't know, i just -- when i compare those two political moments, and then the outcome years later from each of them, it's just tragic the way the vietnam veteran was treated in the aftermath of an equally a acti active chicanery. >> we have less than a half hour left of our guest lynn novick, a documentary filmmaker. and doug stanton is here, author of several books, including "the odyssey of ecco company," which we've been talking a bit about. and we have sandra from addelboro, massachusetts. good morning. >> caller: good morning. i had three family members sent. they went over. they joined up. one was my husband, two of my brothers and my two brothers ended

the natchez and -- d natchez and -- brent scowcroft, colin powell. a list that goes all the way back to the formation in 1961. in fact, you could not have formed at a more timely moment. one year before the cuban missile crisis. history does not record what role the atlantic council played, but i have no doubt that the rise council of some of your founder members was sought. judging by the outcome, it was clearly good advice. today, the insights of your experts are just as important as we seek to navigate a rapidly changing world, to adapt and hardest change and work together to seize the opportunities that change brings. we need that type of dynamic, creative thinking. i know that many people in this city are nervous about the rapidly changing politics, the rise of new powers and the moving tectonic plates of global politics. people still worry about brexit and what role britain will play in the world. no one should worry. while britain is leaving the european union, we are clear about our place in the world. we will remain a nation that champions t

. >> i think colin powell could be the guy, if he wanted to, to run against obama, boy, that would makelode, two black -- >> he's got a point of view. it's not a straight line. he's not just a straight up lefty. he does criticize both sides. >> sweet grandma hillary, she would have done fine in 2008, but this year, the voters respect in the mood for steady as she goes. they're pitch fork angry and they don't want america's nicest grandma. >> you've been tough on president obama, too. >> yeah, that's my job, to hold their feet to the fire no matter what party and who is in power. >> he is as loved as he is hated. he's doing it right. >> jon stewart changed the face of late night comedy in america. and he altered the trajectory of the humor. >> you wonder sometimes how our government puts on its pants in the morning. >> the value of satire and comedy when it regards to the government is important in the sense of by finding the funny of the situation that is happening, we find the truth. >> i was not elected to serve one party. >> you were not elected. >> that was a turning point. >> the e

okay, i made colin powell and national security type observer, national security first. then we can hash out our differences after. i spent my entire life, i risked my life to defend the nation against enemies through my career. my family has served in every war since 1864. my niece was in combat off of yemen last year against any shipping missiles. we take this very seriously. we have to protect our infrastructure and our cyberinfrastructure as the directodirector of national intelligence dan coats appointed by donald trump said just yesterday it is blinking red and we are open for the cyber 9/11 that can change our entire way of life. i don't just mean you would use facebook or instead -- instagram. those people come in gators go off, respirators shut down the diesel can only last so long. we had an iranian intelligence trying to open in oregon or practice. we don't know where this threat will come from. so we have to come together as a nation, said the presiden presit decide whether you believe him or not, we need everyone else, all hands on deck for this. my favorite

john mccain never took the opportunity to question the underlying bigoted premise in the way that colin powellid. he went on tv at the same time and said, look, is barack obama and arab or muslim? know, he is not. so what if he is? inn mccain ran a campaign 2008, or joel sagan, we keep forgetting and airbrushing in which obama was -- he was presented as a friend of terrorists. that is outrageous. amy: norman solomon? >> if you go to the broader one di was talking about, we have had a history of people support muslims. muslims are part of the american family." those same leaders are slaughtering muslims in afghanistan, libya, iraq, and hoping to do it, in many cases, elsewhere in the middle east. so this whole notion that you say a few platitudes and that justifies your militaristic and ous for policy is a problem. when you get to that clip that has gone huge play in the last 48 hours, the reality is that even more disturbing than the off-the-cuff response from senator mccain is the approach from the mass media of the united states, which seems irony-free it is an zone. absolutely not addressin

that's on top but i'm a colin powell national security type conservative. national security first. and then we can hash out our differs afterwards. i spend my entire life, risk any thrive depend e defend this nation against enemies. family has send in every war since 164 in the armed forces. my niece was in combat off of yemen last year against the iranian anti-shipping missiles. he every american should just set it aside no matter who you voted for, we have to protect our infrastructure and our cyber infrastructure as the director of national intelligence, dan coats, appointeds by donald trump said just yesterday, it is blinking red. we are open for a cyber 9/11 which could change our entire way of life and i don't just mean you won't get to use facebook or instagram. they could disable power plants, which kills people. incubators go off, respirators shut down, the diesel can only last so long weapon had an iranian intelligence trying to test that opening sluices in oregon on dams just for practice. we don't know where the threat will come from. so we really have to coming to as a

african-americans including with the election of barack obama but before that, i'm old enough to remember colin powelly significant figures in the bush administration. it is amazing that we have a republican administration that does not have any significant african-american presence at the leadership -- >> you're right. except this one guy designated from the commerce department. >> and omarosa's put it out, that position has not been filled in the white house. they don't have anyone doing african-american outreach. >> omarosa also suggests she'd be happy to cooperate with special counsel robert mueller's investigation. here's the news. >> omarosa, if you have any other recordings, you wouldn't share them here. do you got some? >> oh, i have plenty. >> anything mueller would like to see, robert mueller? >> if his office calls again -- >> would you be a good witness in this investigation by mueller? >> absolutely. anything that they want i will certainly cooperate. >> if he calls again. so -- everybody's jumping on this. >> myself and many other reporters spent months and months trying to find out who

when you look at colin powell's testimony when he talks about that come he says he wished he had caviar to do what he said much more. instead to speak with such certainty -- and alan was referring to curveball, this great source, great source, he was like a fantasist and he was paid for by the germans are paid for by the rains. but he was paying, and interviewed him a couple of years ago and they said why the july? he said because -- why did you lie? he said i hated saddam hussein and i would do it again or anything to remove saddam hussein from power pics everybody was being played along, and there was a failures in leadership, failures in intel and failures in imagination. >> a quick question. we have two, three minutes left. you need to please come up after your go ahead. >> what do you think the consequences have been in military activity since the vietnam war of victimization of the ordinary, nonmilitary people in the countries we have invaded? .. i need to whine this out. lest we forget we had a great ceremony last night. the university students killed in the iraq war. any program

but colin powell pottery barn theory, which is if you break it, you own it.he country in the central bank. his arbitrarily putting these tariffs and restrictions on american products and ultimately i don't think it hurts us, but it hurts the turkish people and the turkish people should be concerned. >> congressman, steve forbes. in terms of the turkish people, aren't they going to rally to him fighting the u.s. has this political position we? you've eviscerated the military in the past year they tossed them on long time ago. >> i think it's all about the economy. the more the lira continues to devalue, the more the currency becomes worthless. we have seen revolutions and coups overfilled economies. they are on their way. we don't want them to fail. they could fail, but ultimately maybe if he can't revive their economy, if he can't work to agree with nato partners like the united state, in the end, it is up to the people whether they keep them even though i've realized he was reelected a couple months ago. >> so we dutch just keep ratcheting up. how do we get
