not only would after fletcher be mortified, but so would colin powell.st shameful about those words from trump, is that there weren't black conservatives in that room who didn't walk out. he said, this is disgusting. because it shows you what trump not only thinks about black voters, but about black conservatives. it's heartbreaking, it's shameful, and if they knew anything about black conservatives or black republicans, they would immediately denounce this hateful, despicable, a historical comments. but we have to also call out -- they enable him. the lies. you have senator tim scott, he said that trump gave more money to hbcus than any other president. that's a lie. at that very conference, someone said trump got 20% of the black vote. that's a lie. but where you find a lie, you often finn's find a check. >> since his own failed 2020 campaign, tim scott, who you just mentioned, he's played up his relationship with donald trump. he ran against him, but since it failed, he's now played up this great relationship endorsing trump over nikki haley, despite

you know, and it was back then, as secretary of state, when colin powell told me, he was concerned that with hiv back then where 30 to 40% of some of the military in the developing world countries were actually living with hiv with no therapy, that he was concerned that we were going to have in certain countries the breakdown of the system of government in the country because of health. now, that was the rather dramatic andra draconian example. i think what you're asking, they have to be inseparable, you can't have health here, security there and say they're different and maybe occasionally they'll meet. they're integral parts of it. every time we talk about security, we've got to talk about health and every time we talk about health we've got to talk about security. . >> maybe just to supplement that, tony is absolutely right. hiv/aids is perhaps the only disease that the u.n. security council has issued a security test in '08 and i think just in 2000 and that was the foundation in changing the way we saw hiv/aids. i see a couple of hands and let's take two questions that, yes, the mid

the secretary of state colin powell sat down with me and i should have known this before. but he said, you know, tony, global health is global security. because if you don't have health, then everything else can fall apart. and ambassador greenfield just mentioned like she was giving you the metaphor. i have my health and health is everything. and i think that we just need to be more explicit and verbal in writing about the fact that if you have health disparities and health deficiencies, you're going to have an insecure world. and it was back then, a secretary of state when colin powell told me, he was concerned that with hiv, back then, were 30 to 40%, some of the military in the developing world countries were actually living with hiv, with no therapy. that he was concerned we were going to have in certain countries, a breakdown of the system of government in the country because of health. and that was the rather dramatic and draconian example. but he was absolutely correct so i think what you are asking now, is that they have to be inseparable. you can't have health in

remove him from power, and , if possible, remove him from life altogether, and secretary of state colin powellas, believe it or not, a threat to the united states of america that must be contained by any means, because russia. for everything, it represents a kind of evil empire, as it was customary to talk about the soviet union, only in some square, cube or to the tenth power, so money is needed, therefore ukraine is needed, so everything else is needed that would allow russia not to allow her sinister plans to be realized, which are aimed at the united states, but which ultimately, as american politicians are trying to present it. i can imagine that in in the coming weeks or months this will not be the last story of this level, so you recalled the history of recent decades, the step was really there for years and decades, now the step will be much shorter, alas, until the presidential elections and, accordingly , the re-elections of congress, we will observe this in increasing proportions, the second story from my point of view, power, to freely project military power, i quote, anywhere in t

testimony about his relationship with monica lewinsky, you need lies to invade another country, colin powellnd statement about saddam’s chemical weapons, and if we touch on covid, then european leaders line up, analysis of yours. alexander lukashenko is one of those leaders who are part of the people and naturally defend the interests of these very people, if necessary with a machine gun, while belarus does not rob other countries, does not try to snatch a piece of even territory , even cheap labor from its neighbors, our president, unlike from many other leaders, very frankly and confidentially behaves with belarusians, quite often information that does not leave somewhere overseas. polish-american intelligence services are preparing a large-scale provocation against the civilian population of poland, for which russia and belarus will be blamed, you see, we need this reason, a scam, everything is as old as time, once the nazis, hitler prepared such an operation on the border with poland to provoke the beginning military operations, you remember this, now these scoundrels, oh well. we'll wai

so colin powell's influence not only with reagan but the bushes and a lot of people in washington were exponential. >> i know president reagan stated publicly at one point that he had hoped that powell would run for presidency and he would vote for him. bret it's been a very quick hour to spend with you and just wonderful. thank you for coming and thank you for such a terrific, terrific

as colin powell and others have famously said, we don't send our sons and daughters halfway around the world to conquer land. the only land we ever asked for is enough to bury our dead. we send our sons and daughters overseas to help other people fight for what we have, freedom, for those universal goals and values that we all cherish, safety, security, prosperity, opportunity. that's what americans want for not only ourselves and our children but for everybody on the planet. we are good people. we are a good country. we have had leaders. we have the military industrial complex. we have agencies that are far from perfect. that i think have led us astray. as a nation we better start taking a look back and going what was the result of that intervention? i just recently -- i was just recently in hanoi. what wonderful people. we did a trip to singapore, thailand and vietnam. singapore, per capita gdp about 75,000. it's a wealthy country and you can tell. go to thailand, a tenth of that, 7500. and you see squaller. you see high-rises. there's wealth, there's the income gap. but you see squa

would make someone like arthur fletcher who i know you knew, the father of affirmative action, colin powellbinson roll in their graves. it is disgraceful from trump and the people who enable him. >> how do you see the response to this more broadly? you talk about the african american republicans in the room. but then more broadly, what does that say about where we are politically and culturally that you have a presidential candidate that can feel, yeah, i can getimpunity. you had the president at a rally in an overwhelmingly white town of dimondale in michigan, in the last presidential cycle when he was quoted saying to black folks, you're living in poverty. let's play what the president said to black voters in 2016. >> you're living in poverty. your schools are no good. your have no jobs. 58% of your youth is unemployed. what the hell do you have to lose? >> a lot. because why the hell do you stereotype black people? i mean, you know, you're living -- not all of us live in poverty. in fact, some states there are more white people in poverty than black people. he goes into a largely white c

just to to read about that and then the oral histories that we do here at the miller center of colin powell. we've done several oral histories up pace the marine corps general who was head of the joint chiefs of staff. these men came into the military and were young junior officers in vietnam and then went on to serve of course through the war on terror, the wars in afghanistan and iraq, which leads us to, i think will probably be our last question. our point today. this from our audience. how might your findings, mark, offer lessons for any of today's policy challenges? and i'll add the specifics of so called endless wars, which you have and done forms on here iraq, afghanistan, the issues that we face in ukraine now we have a whole war room here at, the miller center devoted to the ukraine war with russia. and i'll even add in taiwan and china now. so let me close the circle on the first question, because i didn't address and i want to do that of remind me after this. okay. so johnson didn't think a whole lot of withdrawal planning he as he says to bob mcnamara the johnson tapes he though

. >> and he ended up in colin powell's presentation. >> the doubts about curveballs is a port to keep in mind. the doubts about him emerged incrementally. and the credibility of his information is not widely widely questioned until long into this process of late 2002 and early 2003. and it's inappropriate to say that people knew that curveball was misinforming them. yes, there were doubts. one of the important things i argue in my book and saying that policymakers were not certain that the information compellingly demonstrated that saddam hussain had weapons of mass destruction. but these policymakers are all experience people. they knew that quote intelligence is never dispositive. there's always questions about the veracity and credibility of intelligence. but what they did know and what they said again and again is we know that saddam hussain develop weapons of mass destruction. that he had used weapons of mass destruction against iran and against his own people. that he had lied about the ey weapons of mass destruction and that he had concealed them. they knew those things as fact
