doesn't you think that will impact general powell? >> ask powell. >> into, no.will -- ask paul to go -- [overlapping speakers] >> he will come out publicly and endorse him. >> focus on motivation. here's the motivation. look, you saw powell in the opening statement. it depends on who he brings in with him. powell is part of a realist foreign policy group that george h.w. bush who are at war with the nee neoconservatives is powell is not a fan and they're moving into romney's camp and it's a huge blazing issue, and powell is saying it depends on who they bring in with him. his concern is foreign policy. he doesn't know anything about that. >> what kind of policy does the general want? >> it wants a strong american defense but a non- interventionist foreign policy and no more wars. >> non-interventionist. >> the powell doctrine. >> publicly crit sized romney for going after russia as one of our global enemies. he said let's get real, mitt. he is worried about the takeover of the neocon and he's a nominal republican. >> ruiz mischaracterizing accidentsly or deliber

i do like general colin powell, i have to say. i mean, really, come on. sean hannetie to think he will get someone of general powell's disingsz and honor to play that gut politics shows you how low he is willing to go. i think the general of course'sness answer was per you would expect, distinguish and had very much so from the perspective you would expect, as a military person. he expressed his concerns both for who the real threats are by the way since we're not still in the cold war, but also the overall sort of tone and ten or of the language. >> yeah. professor peterson, he said, come on, mitt, think. is that a bit too much of a challenge for mitt romney on foreign policy specifically? >> he understands that a lot of mr. romney's thinking goes on amongst the people that run his campaign, not necessarily in mitt romney's mind, but it is wonderful to see this exchange. it let's you see, one, that general powell is not going to be sort of caught up in the politics and this is part of the reason why he got out of politics a little bit early, and part of

powell's book, "the new mac ya veli," which is page 190. he's giving his perception of what was happening at this time. "our primary target was rupert murdoch, and tony went out of his way to woo him." would you agree with that? >> i don't like the word woo. but he was certainly the most important media player without a doubt. >> then mr. powell continues, "i had been told by the sunday times correspondent in washington that the american economist and economist irwin steltzer was a confidant of murdoch's and the best way in to him." do you agree with that? >> no. i think the best way in to rupert murdoch was via rupert murdoch. >> well, maybe mr. powell is putting it just a notch too high. but if murdoch's not available, the best way to mr. murdoch, i think he's suggesting, is through mr. steltzer. does that overstate it or not? >> i think it probably does. i think from where we were in the uk -- irwin steltzer's a very clever, very close to rupert murdoch. so were quite a few other people we dealt with almost on a daily basis. the people e

so you have the preliminary acts where they're fighting powell's combat team, and of course powell is reinforced by elements from the 6th division, and they are skirmishing with the advancing confederate forces. and it's just a slow process of the confederates continuing to maneuver, continuing to push forward, being back these federal elements before they come to bear against what is prentiss' main line. the initial combat front for prentiss lay in front of us. he advanced his forces anywhere from 2/10 of a mile to a quarter mile from font of his main camp line, and took possession to stride the eastern corinth road. he had two batteries of artillery, and the guns of those two batteries were deployed astride the eastern corinth road, firing up the road corridor. and then infantry positioned in front. that was the main defense. over the course of roughly two hours, from 7:30 in the morning until about 9:00, the main struggle here takes shape. the initial federal front is held for about an hour, and they are able to halt, initially halt the first attacks by the confederates against the

powell is putting it just a notch too high, but if mr. murdoch is not available, the best way to mr. murdoch -- i think he's suggesting is there mr. steltzer. does that overstate it or not? >> i think it probably does. i think from where we were in the uk, steltzer is a very clever, very close to rupert murdoch. but so were quite a few other people that we dealt with on almost a daily basis. people editing newspapers here. all sorts of people. >> one would certainly have to add to the list other individuals, is that correct? >> yeah. >> tony struck up a friendship with irwin that lasted throughout his time in government, and he helped tony win over murdoch. is that true or not? >> it may be. it may be, i think it's true that irwin steltzer became someone that liked tony blair, liked what new labor was doing, and probably was part of the discussions that were going on within that particular newspaper group. but i think we were always conscious that in terms any of decision that there would been who they would back in the 1997 election, tha

no you to the trial of susan powell's father in law. steve powell is on trial in tacoma for voyeurism after videotaping two young neighbor girls. his daughter in law, susan powell missing since 2009. steve's son killed himself and their two young sons this past february. to chuck and judy cox, thank you so much for being with us. my condolences. this is the first time i'm talking to you since the loss of your two beautiful grand children. how are you guys doing? >> fine, thank you, judge. >> judge jeanine: all right. this week, steven powell now on trial for 14 counts of voyeurism. i have read that you want to be in that courtroom. why do you think it is important to be in that courtroom? >> well, first, i misunderstood. i thought since i knew he took pictures of my daughter that she was part of the case. now, i understand it is just the neighborhood girls. but it is still the idea that perhaps he will say something that might lead us to susan. we still want to find our daughter. >> of course, you do. and, of course, it has is to irk yo

i think colin powell may have wanted the president to do more to reduce the deficit.ys been kind of a fiscal conservative and you could sort of see where the reticence comes from but in the end i think he'll probably come down on the fact that he believes barack obama has been kind of a muscular president on foreign policy. >> and he also believes the president is right in now supporting same-sex marriage and romney presumably colin powell believes is way wrong on this. when i asked him the question about same-sex marriage, i wasn't sure what he was going to say. he didn't really speak out about it, even though he did have a position years ago about don't ask/don't tell in the military. all of a sudden he went to this robust defense of same-sex marriage. he feels very comfortable with the president on this issue. >> when you look back on colin powell's career, yes, he endorsed don't ask/don't tell. but he's always been culturally a little to the left of conservatives within his own party and he's been very strong on defense, very strong on foreign policy, conservative

>> right now i'm just loving collin powell.m, and here you have general powell making it very plain and clear that no, this is a president who ran very much on a kind of method and goal of unifying the country, and was met with what will be described as massive ri distance from day one. there has been nothing but massive resistance, a just say no program on republicans. they using their tactics. it's really an incredible projection, a psychological projection of the gop on to the president. >> katherine, last night congressman paul ryan complained about president obama's devicive politics. he said it is not just undermine social solidarity, it brought it to a stand still when america was desperate for solutions to a devastates financial crisis fp. >> when you look at the record whether it was maintaining wall street, and not getting a lot of restorms through that i think this country needs, sustaining all of the military policies, deporting more people in three years than bush did in eight, we go through all of these republican

powell, page 194. just to show that there was a need for balance. >> i did actually read marr's book over the weekend because it was on your reading list. there were some bits where he's very, very nice about me. i was rather shocked to read that. >> that's why we referred you to them. this is mr. powell speaking. alastair was unfairly criticized for politicizing the government press service. actually, what he did was to pro philadelphiaize and modernize it. when we arrived it was in a parlor state. by the time we left it, it had regained its confidence and become far better at what it did. >> the seamyer side is the domain of special ministers special advisers and, of course, of ministers themselves. would you agree with that? >> that's the point i made earlier, whenever anything appeared in the press from the government, people assumed it was me, but often it wasn't. i would certainly agree that will the government communication system that we inherited was not fit for purpose. a lot of change had to
