bush took us to war and whistleblowers came out, they used colin powell and these people. they are coming out after these lies and obama did not do anything. a gentleman said the other day that china has not had a war since 1979 and they spend their money on the economy and their people and they are doing wonderful. host: on the whistleblowing process and what this ukraine complaint means for the future of whistleblowing? your thoughts. guest: let me first answer one of herbie's points. right, absolutely president carter said china has 1979 andn a war since that we have been in 40 conflicts. i agree with you. this is a different issue. who has a whistleblower evidence the president of the united states may have asked a foreign country to tarnish and investigate his political rival. whistleblowers need to be protected and make sure there are not repercussions against them, and that they can come through this process without a fear for their safety and employment. that is why we have a statute that is a step-by-step process. this is not a partisan issue. if the whistleblower

he was chief of staff to secretary of state colin powell. colonel, good to see you. if you didn't know what john bolton is about, donald trump is surprised by john bolton, he's about the only person in the world surprised by john bolton. john bolton has been exactly who john bolton is for 30 years. >> you just put your finger on it. i said john bolton wouldn't last very long when he was appointed. i didn't think he would last as long as he did, but you just put your finger on it. it's a reflection of the president and his ability to select people who were not just compatible with his views and personality but the strategies and policies he wants america to pursue, if yous as much a refl of trump's inability to get along with other human beings and to select people who are good for the job as it is bolton's irascibility, warmongering and noted penchant to be a hard nose character. >> well, if martians landed on earth and said earthlings what is this war hawk you speak of, you could direct them to a definition of john bolton.

from iraq we should actually listen to united states where remember before the invasion of iraq colin powell and they were in security council with a small pipe have said that this pipe cannot kill everyone in the room and they have launched a war against iraq to find weapons of mass destruction they haven't found anything they destroy the entire country the same thing they want to do to yemen but i believe there are more of that coming and saudi arabia is basically on that oil infrastructure. simon the u.s. accused iran for being behind those attacks and offered help society arabia could this translate into a new path where the americans would say you know what a thing for the sake of a smooth energy supply worldwide we need to protect the saudis when it to build a new defensive infrastructure to put an end to those attacks targeting the audience the nations quite possibly yeah i mean what we fly think seems sense since donald trump came to power is an increasing pressure from between the saudis and the americans because prior to trump under obama there'd been a lot of friction and been an

has equal rights to their northwest can colin powell go to the u.n. in a way around a bottom a while talcum powder and claim that denmark is hiding weapons of mass destruction why you do that if you might just put a like a little bit of an ice cap in there the america's not going to be stopped if we want greenland we're going to get greenland and well i think that's true but trump administration by the way is not the 1st to make an inquiry about buying the island president harry truman expressed a desire to acquire the island in 1906 for 100000000 dollars in gold and earlier attempts to buy the island stretch back to $1867.00 but also greenland has a huge amount of natural resources they have coal zinc copper iron ore and rare minerals those rare earth minerals so i think that when. greenland and start mining decline there as i did hearing what the big miners in iceland the genesis mining they could do great mining operations in greenland i think that's strategically it's a great and i'm going to take a break when we come back much more coming your wa

in january secretary of state colin powell was in cairo he too was heaping praise on the c.c. he said he's really taken to heart the ideal of religious freedom and he's done so with great power and great courage and he is to be lauded for that. the facts are rather different when it comes to religious freedom in egypt the egyptian christians who are the largest no community in the east live in a minefield of of legal and social to. the nation you know and i mean maybe you meet with more people that are dealing with religious issues in egypt tonight do i doubt it but i've met with a number of people that are practicing people of faith minority faiths in egypt. and here's what they tell me. that this is much better under the c.c. government than it has been even though you would prefer the muslim brotherhood they do not. there is communal violence is taking place and it is very discouraging . they are very appreciative of the signals that president sisi is sending from on time and top and trying to push they very much appreciate him dedicating in opening up a church because of t

this is a position previously held by colin powell, susan rice. big folks in foreign policy.o robert o'brien not quite of that caliber, but he is somebody who has been in and around foreign policy in republican circles in particular for years but one thing of course does go a long way with this president, don, as you know, and that is flattery. certainly robert o'brien seems to have laid it on the president in a number of occasions. the president, a day before he named robert o'brien to this position, here's what he said. remarks from the president to the pool. robert o'brien said trump is the greatest hostage negotiator in history. he happens to be right, trump said, where we are 38-0, 38-0, ask robert. in fact, i had never heard the term. robert o'brien said donald trump is the greatest hostage negotiator of all time. now we have not confirmed that 38-0 figure there but clearly this was something that motivated the president and one of the reasons why the president came to like o'brien and named him to the national security advisor position. >> jamie diamond with the report

. >> colin powell described it as truant officer, fireman, chaplain, psychiatrist and the occasional hit man. so it's a tough job in any administration, but i can't imagine how much more difficult it is to do it when the boss himself, the president, wants to be all those things as well and take away any influence you might have. that's my big concern is whoever comes next hopefully will have somebody will have the access and influence to tee up the right options and help the president make the most context yul decisions going forward. >> jim, the white house expected during was responsible for a whole bunch of leaks to the news media including his opposition to the president inviting the taliban leadership to camp david. >> the president apparently did not like it being public knowledge that some of his advisers were challenging him on this decision and that seems fitting with a pattern with this president that he wants folks to be in line with him. and not to contradict him and perhaps feels embarrassed in some ways when it comes out that some of his advisers are not in lock step wi

>> he or she -- susan rice had it with president obama, condi rice had this job, colin powell had this job, steve hadley. these are giants in the national security affirment. the job is to integrate the agency. state, defense, the intelligence agencies, the national security adviser becomes the broker who brings those folks together in the situation room to face the hardest decisions together. it's a critical role and it also has a big international face to it as well. >> jim, as we heard from kristen welker there, there's nbc news reporting that indicates it was the camp david debacle that led to mr. bolton's departure. when the president canceled those secret talks about camp david, meeting with the taliban, reports that pence and bolton were against this meeting, vice president pence decides to tweet that the reports were essentially fake news. john bolton did not. what does that tell you? >> that john bolton was trying to separate himself from a disastrous political decision and be the one adult in the room who realized how stupid the politics are, of indiaviting onf our gravest en

it was strongly supported by madeleine albright and colin powell thereafter. i can assure you larry is as tough as anyone. he would not have ever permitted european insurers to pull the wool over his eyes. by the time they closed their doors in code 2007 the insurance company had paid $306 million to 48,000 victims using relaxed standards of proof lower than any court would demand. please understand, half of the claims did not have the name of the insurance company because the documents didn't exist. they were able to match over 16,000 claims that had no names of insurance company to a very tedious process and when they couldn't find any evidence they ended up making humanitarian payments as well. their work was overseen not just by larry, but by all the member organizations of icheck including the esteemed - specifically involved himself in the evaluation of insurance policies. all of these survivor groups, the american insurance commissioners closely reviewed the european-and authored their own report on evaluation. >> mr. ambassador, you need to wrap up. >>

and the response, colin powell was hoping there would be a serious hearing. instead, the response was they don't talk to evil. whatth regard to iran and they might want, or why they would not enter into negotiations with the u.s., important context is iran's writes within the international system and under the regime. lost inen gets conversations that happened quickly and are covered in brief news stories. haverights does iran within the international system, within the context of international law as they are dealing with the rest of the world? what recourse do they have in these feelings? >> they certainly have a right to develop the civilian nuclear program and a right to free trade and things of that sort. the trump administration doesn't seem to care much about that, nor have previous administrations. i think this is much more about exercising power. the key issue is whether the economy will withstand the sanctions are not. the jury is still out on that. we will know within one year. the economy may be screaming. that may trigger domestic unrest. it is h

he was strongly supported by secretary of state allen albright secretary of state colin powell there after and deputy secretary of state richard armitage of the bush administration. i can assure you larry eagleburger is as tough as anyone possible. he would not have ever permitted european insurers to pull the wool over his eyes. by the time icheic closes doors in 2007 it's insurance companies at paid $306 million to 48,000 victims using the lax standards lower than any u.s. court would demand. please understand half of the claims did not even have the name of the insurance company because the documents didn't exist. they were able to match over 16,000 that had no names of insurance companies to a very tedious process and when they couldn't find any evidence they ended up making humanitarian payments as well. there is no court anywhere that would accept this lower burden of proof. their work was overseen not just by larry eagleburger but by all the member organizations of icheic and esteemed individuals like the former bank governor of the state of israel a holocaust survivor who spe

foreign policy performances in our post war era, from fidel castro's four-hour speech in 1960 to colin powell's for starting the war in 2003, and you know, who the president sends to the u.n. can actually reveal their whole policy towards the world. consider a controversial diplomat who you know because he just left the trump administration, john bolton. he was actually president george w. bush's reset appointment to the u.n. quite a contrast. >> there is no united nations. there is an international community that occasionally can be led by the only real power left in the world, and that's the united states when it suits our interests and when we can get others to go along. >> make no mistake, the engagement of women in peace and security does not reflect a desire for disengagement for men. the principle that guides us is respect and dignity for all. all must help to create peace. >> we'll hear from our expert, our next guest making her debut on "the beat," samantha power. the new book is "the education of an idealist." thank you for joining us. >> great to be here. >> let's start with the book

they used colin powell, all these things. and these people are still coming out and obama didn't do anything to this man for destroying our economy, taking us to war. but china hadn't had a war since '79 and they're spending money on the economy and the people over there and it's all wonderful. >> on the whistleblowing process and what this ukraine complaint means for the future of whistleblowing. it was a topic we covered in our last segment. what are your thoughts? >> let me answer one of herby's points. you're absolutely right. it was president carter who said that china hasn't been in a war since 1979. and that we have been in 40 kpla conflicts. i agree with you. this is of a different issue. this is you have a whistleblower who has evidence that the president of the united states may have asked a foreign country to tarnish and investigate his political rival. the key for whistleblowers is they need to be protected. they need to make sure there isn't repercussions against them. and that they can come to this process witho

trying to reach the national security principles, colin powell was in peru, george ten meant hatenantit the pentagon. i was escorted to be with vice president cheney. i remember the president having to make choices at this point, should we shoot down aircraft that were not responding even if they might be civilian aircraft and that awful moment when we actually thought we shot down flight 93, but learned that it had been the brave passengers that drove it into the ground rather than let it hit another building and so it was an extraordinary day. the city more than any experienced it. but we pulled together as a country the terrorists something that i saw in a sign as i was headed up to the service at national cathedral, there was a man standing there that said god bless america, we will not be terrorized. and that for me summed up american resilience at that moment. maria: we were talking about that with dick grasso. one of the most important recollections for me, being on the floor of the exchange when the attacks first happened, was september 17th, monday, after we were down and out

bush took us to war and whistleblowers came out, they used colin powell and these people.are coming out after these lies and obama did not do anything. a gentleman said the other day that china has not had a war since 1979 and they spend their money on the economy and their people and they are doing wonderful. host: on the whistleblowing process and what this ukraine complaint means for the future of whistleblowing? your thoughts. guest: let me first answer one of herbie's points. right, absolutely president carter said china has 1979 andn a war since that we have been in 40 conflicts. i agree with you. this is a different issue. who has a whistleblower evidence the president of the united states may have asked a foreign country to tarnish and investigate his political rival. whistleblowers need to be protected and make sure there are not repercussions against them, and that they can come through this process without a fear for their safety and employment. that is why we have a statute that is a step-by-step process. this is not a partisan issue. if the whistleblower compl

if they had known, two voted for colin powell, several did vote for others and it was a very courageoushing to do, but are electors have a terminus amount of responsibility. host: ok. congress returns next week with the stories in the papers this morning talking some of the topics they have heard as they were home on their recess. one of the topics, impeachment. pair writing, enying more than two doz interviews, some voters said they wish their representative in congress would hurry up and endorse an impeachment inquiry in order to send an unmistakable signal that mr. trump's actions were illegal and unacceptable. to be sure that many democrats around the country have confronted strident calls with constituents over there vacation, and some have heated the message. supportcrats now impeaching president trump. profiled,se representative andy kim of new jersey was heckled during a gathering last month with shouts of do your job, and why is this taking so long, i want him gone. but in an interview, mr. kim said he was hearing far more from his constituents about gun safety, the economy, an

colin powell. there is a man with a good mind and good head. are the kind of people we should be using. hip isshooting from the sometimes fine and the country-western movies but in real life, but this is a real situation. it is costing a lot of lives and to say nothing about the economic interests. host: that is albert in california. about hisday talked support of the president. >> i was there in april the year before. it doesn't seem to get better but i'm sure will get worse if we leave. frankly i leave backing away from where we were just dealing with the taliban is the right thing to do, leaving troops there for now is the right thing to do. >> how do you tell an exhausted public. there is a was a reason to stay. do you just say it could get worse >> it would get worse. remember howot to this became the base of the 9/11 tragedy. there's no reason to believe it wouldn't happen again. even in the middle of the negotiation as to brag about killing an american soldier. once we leave there that becomes a safe haven. i've been concerned we were ne
