"Have. That's the details that we're talking about here. Number 9 is share credit. I thought this was the answer from Colin Powell. Here's a four star general who became Secretary of State. It is share credit. You can't get by in life if it's all about you. You didn't get to where you are. Simply because you're this great and wonderful person. There's other people in your life that is always been there to help you when it was a start with your family and you may have had a terrible family laugh. Maybe it was an awful, maybe it was an aunt, maybe a friend down the road. Maybe if somebody at school, but we've always had people there that have helped us get where we are going. And no matter what we've done, you can always share credit, bringing people along does not diminish who you are and bringing people into in crediting them and actually praising them doesn't diminish the accomplishment that you feel like you made, but it actually brings others in it that it makes it sweeter. It makes it understand that, hey, we're a part of this. The next time you can accomplish even more why because people will understand if you're leading people understand that, hey, this person values my time. This person values my input. This person values who I am. And they're going to not just take all the credit for the hard work that others did. Powell understood this and climbing to the highest ranks of whether it be the military or the government, or if you're running a mom and pop shop, or maybe you're just, you know, in your own family. When's the last time you prayed somebody? When's the last time you just sent a thank you note, just saying, hey, I was thinking about all the things that you've done. I just wanted to say thanks. Thanks for being a part of the team. These are small things that matter, sharing credit matters. They follow well into the tenth discussion in Powell had, and that was remain calm and be kind. We don't make good decisions when chaos is going on. A chaos, although you maybe have, you know, the chaos theory that out of mass chaos patterns develop. And they do. But the question is, does everybody want to be running on the ragged edge every day? Do you always want to be running from one problem to the next? Look, too many managers manage with a heroin fire. Too many leaders lead as if every moment is just a problem. Everything is going wrong or you put it into a crisis situation in which everybody feels like nothing is calm. You got to have some confidence in your life. You can not continually run on the ragged edge all the time and make good decisions. Empower brings us out, just remain calm. And be kind. I love the second part to be kind. Is that not a missing trite these days? Be kind, you may not, you know, you might not agree with somebody, but you can be kind to somebody, you say thank you. You can say please. I mean, did we quit teaching that in kindergarten these days? I mean, our teaching it to our kids, as they were growing up, you know, site police, say, ma'am, say, sir, you know, do those kind of things that are just genuine. Respect you know, so if your business are your team that you're leading or your family is always saying to be stressed out, always seem to be having one problem after another. Look to yourself. And say, what can I do to provide calm in this chaos? If I continually from chaos, worst is going to be coming because at a certain point, not only is it burnout, not only to lead to bad decisions, but in the end you're going to make mistakes that you didn't that you possibly wouldn't make if you took a step back, took a deep breath and been calm. Number 11, have a vision and be demanding. Followers need to know where their leaders are taking them and for what purpose. And to achieve those standards, you got to make sure that they understand that the goals are out there. And here's what you've got to do and it needs to be rigorous. It makes me something worth finding for. I can't tell you how many times leaders, whether they be political leaders, whether they be, you know, business leaders, family leaders, church leaders, volunteers, where they have no vision. One of the things right now that I believe, if you're looking at the Biden administration right now and I've heard this from Democrats, I've heard it from reporters. I've heard it from Republicans, of course, who disagreed with this administration. But one thing that is said more and more about this administration is they don't see what the vision is. They don't understand what the administration wants to do. What is willing to fight for what is not willing to fight for. And you see it in the poll numbers. People will not follow leaders that they don't think they know where they're going. If you lose the confidence of your team, if you lose the confidence of those in your company, if you lose the confidence of customers, they will not follow you. And a leader who has no followers is simply as the old saying goes, they simply someone taking a walk. If you don't have followers, you're not a leader. You've got to understand that there has to be a vision out there. You've got to project vision. In fact, people will buy in to the leader in a vision, no matter where that vision may go if they're buying into you and they believe that you have an idea of where you're going. And be demanding, you know, people today are used to being told, don't expect much. We'll expect more. And Colin Powell here, I think is just a great advice. How many times do we not expect great things from people? We don't expect great things for my kids. We don't expect great things from our coworkers. Folks, you got to expect great.

Life Lessons From Colin Powell: Be Care What You Choose
"Next one is one that really struck me when I read these. And he says, you know, Powell's 5th leadership lesson was be careful what you choose, you may get it. Be careful what you choose, you might get it. How many of you out there, you know, you make decisions and you don't think you're going to get or something doesn't happen. But you're making choices that you may end up having to all. And your team will have to live with your choices, so don't rush your choices. Make sure that you make good choices. Also, in this, is be careful what you choose. Now, this doesn't mean that you sit idly by waiting for something to happen to you. This means that you actually get in there and make decisions. But what you choose, you might get. So make sure it's something you want. Sometimes we go through life and we don't put enough thought into the choices that we make. And then they actually come around, we get offered that job, or we get offered that promotion, we get all the decision to go out on a date or to go out and have a relationship. You know, be careful what you choose because you may get it. And once you've got it, then you can't say, hey, I didn't want this, or this wasn't what I thought it was going to be. You got to remember that you chose this. And when you're leading a team or you're leading others, you're leading your family, then your choice is actually affect them as well.

"colin powell" Discussed on The Doug Collins Podcast
"That's what you need to use that frustration and anger for. The third point that Colin Powell brought out, he said, avoid having your ego so close to your position that when you're positioned falls, your ego goes with it. In other words, keep your ego in check. Not everything is about you. And when you have decisions that, you know, there's some things in life that and I've talked about it before on the podcast. They're the mountains that you dial. Those are the hills that you die on. And they're not every decision in your life, just to be fair with you. They're going to be some of your decisions in your life, but not every decision. And this is where I think that we get mixed up was we believe our decision is right or we believe our way is the best way. And we let our egos about something, get in the way of maybe hearing or putting into practice something that would work better. Paul is simply saying, is it keep your ego in check? He said, you're not always right, and there's always going to be somebody else that may have a better idea. Are you listening to those things? Are you tying yourself to everything that you do? Ego can get us in trouble. And he was a good adviser. He said, the decision that you might let them stand on their own. You know, this goes back to something that, you know, as we look at, you know, from a prospect of failing. Fail forward. Fail to failure is going to happen. In fact, if you're not failing out there, you're listening to this podcast today and you're not failing on a regular basis that I'm going to ask, what are you actually doing? Because if you're not failing, nobody gets it right every time. And if your ego will not let you do something in which you're going to fail at, you're never going to grow and you're never going to learn. So in looking at this part about ego and your positions, it remember that they should not be attached to most of the city to make, you know, make your decisions validate your decisions. And then if they change, or they get questioned, then you can work with it. If they fall or they fail. Failure though is also another area that I'm going to jump off that he didn't really mention in his leadership notes, but I'll take a quick moment here failure is not final. Number one, and failure also is not about you. And I think this is where we have to separate the actions and we separate what we're trying to do. Sometimes we're going to fail. But you need to get back up and do it again. It's not about you're the failure. It's about your ideas, about your performance, something didn't go right, but you need to separate the two out. Otherwise, you'll drag yourself back into the things that we've already talked about. Those holes of being mad and frustrated and thinking everything is bad against us. So the third thing is separate your ego from the decisions that you have. Number four was pretty simple. He puts he said, it can be done. He's a leaders make things happen if one approach doesn't work fine another. It amazes me how many times I see politicians. I see members of Congress that I used to serve with, you know, members of the media, members and sports teams, coaches that think that there's only one way to do something that you know, and if it fails, you just, you know, instead of trying to say, hey, maybe there's another way to do this, is or either stopping because you feel like it can't be done, is leaders found ways to get it done. And this is, you know, out there, if you're listening on this podcast, I might be your ex-husband maybe you're driving. Think about things in your life that a leader, your leadership ability is to get things done. It's not simply to accept things and especially if it's something that needs to be changed in your life, then take that advice, take that and encouragement. And say, look, a leader is going to find a way. The leader is going to look at the closed room and say, there's a door here somewhere. And if there's not a door, I'll find a window. If it's not a window, I make one. This is what leadership does. It can be done. It's an attitude. And I hear so many times people, they go back to this side and we spoke of already. You know, the world is against me. The lives not fair. I came to well, get over it. And get out there and find it way to make it known. That's what leaders do. Leaders find a way to get it done. And they don't accept excuses, they don't accept failures in the sense that it stops him. It says, what can I do next to make sure that the project, my family, the relationships that I have that we get it done..

How the Vietnam War Influenced Colin Powell's Leadership Style
"Some who may remember or not remember from my generation Colin Powell was one that we remembered greatly as a general. He was joint chiefs, a chairman. He was also the national security adviser, but he was joint chiefs during the first Gulf War. That was where he really rose to prominence him and schwarzkopf, sourced cough again being the general on the ground. And we may do something on him later on as well. He's a lot of wisdom came from his time. We're dealing with leadership with Powell, schwarzkopf, and these others who came out of the Vietnam era. These were folks who saw what happened in Vietnam and really sometimes the disaster that really happened with our troops and with our mission there. They saw the problems that developed with the political aspect and political nature of what was going on in Vietnam. And it really affected them all throughout their career. I mean, these were 30 plus year careers that ended in the 90s for many of them that, you know, coming off of that experience of Vietnam and never left them. This is important to understand when you take a leader like Colin pile. You take a leader like Norman Schwarzkopf. You take some of these leaders who are influenced by own the ground, combat, in Vietnam, you see how later on the gulf, the first Gulf War with Iraq was really influenced by that by the whole build up, the massive use of force. The idea that you don't go in unless you can achieve a victory with massive dominance. This is a doctrine that sort of came out of that Vietnam era. And it was based on those who had to live through what happened in Vietnam and they

I don't know about you, but this one probably among all the ones that we're gonna give is the one that I struggle with the most. I don't know about you. He goes on and he talks about leaving office, you know, when you leave the office at night, your attitude really will affect how you go through the 9 and really affect the next morning. But I want to think about this from terms of perspective. How many times have you woke up at night? Or I couldn't go to sleep, you were worried about something that was going to happen. Or possibly might not happen. Again, worry is many times worrying about things that may or may not ever happen. And what he's talking about is that it's never as bad as you think. I have had in my own times where I've laid in bed at night or woke up really early and when it's dark and you're only hearing your own voice. It is easy to see or think that the walls are closing in that everything is bad that the only outcome is going to be terrible that everybody in the world knows your problems. Everybody in the world sees your problem and the reality is that most of the time it's just you it's just you there contemplating these actions, contemplating these things in your own mind, making the assumptions that the fear that you've built up or the concern, the anxiety, however you want to put it. Is actually a development. One of the things that you need to remember is it never is he says it never is as bad as you think. Now, for some, I'm not going to say every time there's something that has come to be as bad. But the morning will come. The sun will come up.

There Is No More Republican Party Says Malcolm Nance
"How come you famously were a Republican? Colin Powell, Republican, what do you make of what a lot of people are calling the death of the Republican Party yesterday in Wyoming? I mean, Liz Cheney as was expected lost big. No. Yeah, by 40 points. According to Joe Walsh, was saying, this wasn't just the loss. This was a loss by 40 points. Her name became completely radioactive. There is no Republican Party. That is just a word that they bandy about now. This is the Trump party. And you know, a few years ago, there was a lot of talk about him changing the name and, you know, changing the symbol to a lion and calling it the Trump party. And you know, I would think that it would actually be, it would be in his interest to go ahead and do that so that we clarify that there are no Republicans anymore. When I was a Republican, way back when, you know, we were just to the upper right quadrant of the XY axis. Colin Powell and I God bless him, you know, in heaven. We're so far down to the far left. Now, Ronald Reagan would be considered a, you know, Joe Manchin liberal. So, you know, progressive. So what's happened to that party is that it is completely disintegrated. It's become a cult of one individual. And I write extensively in the book that these people have said numerous times, hundreds of times. They are willing to kill for him.

John Zmirak and Eric Reflect on the Iraq Invasion
"There are certain things you can't make up. I mean, I want to frame this again for people who aren't paying attention because maybe they're not, they're not tracking, I was for the Iraq invasion back when. You were against it. And I remember talking to you and not understanding, I thought, aren't all conservatives for this isn't Saddam Hussein, a monster. And by the way, of course, he was a truly evil monster. There's no doubt about that. But it didn't occur to me at the time that there are reasons not to attack Saddam Hussein and so on and so forth. So I was for it. All these years later, thanks to not just John's mirac, but Donald Trump, we have had a reevaluation. And I think that people now realize not only was it wrong, but it was a disaster on many levels. And then we start understanding that all the people who got us into the many messages in which we are today also got us into the mess of the Iraq War. It's the neocons. It's not magga people. It's not people who want to put America first. It's globalists. It is really tremendously wicked. And so here you have George Bush, do the ultimate Freudian slips of all time. So wonderful. It's the sort of thing that Will Ferrell would make up on SNL or something. But no, no, this actually happened. It's so great. I mean, the underlying reality is grotesque. We are, we killed between 507 100,000 civilians in our invasion of Iraq, which was based on false intelligence and made up junk intelligence that the neocons were shoving past the FBI and putting straight into The White House. There were hundreds of experts saying there are no weapons of mass destruction. The UN inspector said there are no weapons of mass destruction. Nobody had any real evidence of weapons of mass distraction. Colin Powell gets goes in front of the UN with doctored photos that don't represent what he says they are. Condoleezza Rice says, we don't want the next smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud in Manhattan. They use our trauma over 9 11 to make us think that Saddam Hussein is building nukes and is going to smuggle them into America. They make us think he was involved in 9 11, which he wasn't. They make us think he was getting uranium, which he couldn't. I mean, it was just this for rago of lies. And I guess Eric, you're a nicer person, maybe because you grew up in Connecticut, you didn't think your own political leaders of your own party were lying to you to get back. No, of course I

Caller Champ Describes the Moment the FBI Knocked on His Door
"Back to champ, who was wrapping up his story about what happened to him on January 1 he comes home, FBI agent at his door champ. I hate to keep interrupting you, but now you can finish the story. Oh, absolutely. So they sent a female agent up from Charleston, South Carolina, like I mentioned, I live in a remote area of the pisco national forest and lo and behold, and FBI is here. She reviews photographs, videos, mentions and I have a video of Ashley batt actually. That was the one that she wanted me to forward to her. And overall, the questions were geared at, are you a member of a militia? Do you want to kill anybody? Because I do have guns in the house and I did not want her to come into my house. She didn't have a warrant to come into my house. And the overall tone was just really sort of pressing the finger down. And after having been there, I've heard your other callers say, we were singing gospel songs. There were people there. Iranians for Trump. They were Chinese. There were groups of people. It was asshole, Colin Powell addressed the Senate because they used to work for senator strom Thurman. I saw him address the Senate after the Gulf War and outside of that. This was the second most patriotic event I've ever attended. Then, to see the ramifications and to hear the reporting on it was so asinine compared to what actually was occurring while we were there. And this being blown into what it is, in my opinion, this thing was set up. It was a play. It was meant to make Trump people seem like bad people. When I've never seen a unification of people from all over the world, colors, races, you name it, all loving, respectful, very, very good people. And what this country is being told is an absolute lie that the stuff that comes out yes, they comparing this to 9 11 pro harbor.

Larry and Roland Martin Debate Hillary Clinton's Character
"Many of you have talked about the debate that I had in 2016 before the election with a left wing host named Roland Martin who used to work at for CNN as a pundit. And now he's on YouTube with his show. I think it's a daily show. And so he came out to Inglewood, black church, full audience. I would say 95% of them were hostile to the great elderly, but I didn't care that I was on hostile grounds. And I went to the debate, and we had a very lengthy debate, for crying out loud, rolling. We have a binary choice, a choice between Hillary Clinton and a choice between Donald Trump. And don't get me started on Hillary's character. This is a woman who maligned all of her husband's accusers. A woman named juanita Broderick claimed she was raped by Bill Clinton and two weeks after the alleged said that Hillary verbally intimidated her. There are at least two well regarded books, one called hell to pay and one called no one left to lie to that describe Hillary hiring private detectives and getting lawyers to dig up dirt on her husband's accusers knowing full well that she and he had a deal that he could do whatever he wanted. All to malign the accusers so that the Democratic Party were able to get votes. And don't get me started on Bill Clinton. That's today. He is still a serial cheater.

'War by Other Means' Author General Keith Kellogg on the Politicization of the Military
"Okay, this is exciting. There's a brand new book out. It's called war by other means. It is by a general who was in the Trump White House Keith Kellogg. He was former national security adviser to president Trump. We know that well, the book purports to reveal the politics at play within our highest ranking military leadership and how caving to the leftist agenda and cultural pressure by those in the top ranks of America's military has left America, more vulnerable to national security threats than ever. Unfortunately, I don't need any convincing on that score. But it is a real pleasure. To have a general Keith Kellogg on the program to tour to talk about his new book war by other means general welcome to this program. Thank you. Thanks for having me today. Well, let's jump right into it. What you say, unfortunately, is something that seems to be pretty clear to those who are paying attention to what's going on. How is it possible that this could happen? You always think that there are firewalls put up by the founders in the constitution so that this kind of thing can not happen. In the military is supposed to be the military. They're not supposed to be about transgender policies or about white nationalist threats. What in the world enabled this kind of thing to happen? Because when I think of a general, whether it's general Mattis or Millie, it's hard for me to process that they have to cut to the chase gone over to the dark side that something has happened in their careers or at some point to allow them to be used by the I will call it the anti American left, at least that's how I see it. What do you suppose has happened that this was made possible. Yeah, it's sanctuary. I think it's a great question. I think the military the senior levels have become really politicized. And I think part of that very honestly was because of 20 years of war and Afghanistan. And that's one of the reasons by the way I wanted to get out of Africa with the president as well. Because the military became too politically aligned going forward and they saw where the money was coming from and the philosophers they had behind it. And they had reached a point with Mark milley where you see him today. And very candidly, Mark and I have known each other for 25 years. But he has put himself in a position and the way he's talking right now that you never saw general Meyer, a former chairman, general Meyer, Pete pace, Hugh Shelton, Colin Powell. Joe Dunford, none of them spoke the way he speaks now. And he's become very, very politicized on his approach to the military. And I think it's a huge mistake. I think a mistake for the military. And I reminded a lot of people, people forgot what article two section two of the constitution talks about. And there's one unitary commander chief and he's elected commander in

"And a temporize or a tactical operator, and he just he just not only was he not the kind of person who resigned, but when it came to the end of his time in the Bush administration at the end of bush's first term, not only did he resign, he tried to stay on a little bit longer and the Bush White House called and asked when his letter of resignation was coming. So resignation certainly was not just wasn't in the mind. It wasn't in the psyche of Colin Powell. Finally, many people say in hindsight, if only Colin Powell had more forcefully expressed his reservations about the Iraq invasion, then things might have turned out differently. Any truth to that observation? I think there is some truth if he had resigned in public at the beginning when I say the beginning. I mean in the summer of 2000 to the beginning of the drive towards war. It's possible that his resignation might have influenced the public debate enough. So there might not have been the push towards war. After the summer of 2002, the American troops are moving and troops of other countries are moving to the Middle East surrounding Iraq and it got to the point where the bush people felt it was a matter of no return. They couldn't let them just sit there for longer you end debates. And although Colin Powell was a Republican, he endorsed Barack Obama over his friend John McCain in 2008. And of course, in more recent times, he's strongly opposed Donald Trump. Jim great to have you on our end. Great to be with you.

"Really so the brought out powell. Because powell did have that credibility he was the secretary of state as you point out. He was considered a war hero. First african american whose chairman of the joint chiefs and secretary of state first time in history. So they brought him out and we know from our our Our former friend colonel. Wilkerson what they did to him. They kept him up all night. They browbeat him. They forced him. That doesn't give him any excuses though because he knew what he was saying was untrue. But when you when we wash it on your staff we watched the presentation and that was in february early february of two thousand and three we knew what he was saying wasn't true because we were following things so closely but we also knew that it was a devastating performance for our position because we knew how much credibility he had. It was hard enough for us to argue against the neo cons. I hate when they wanted the war. But you bring out powell and for me. At least we talked about it. Yesterday it felt very deflating demoralizing. The big picture is that this was necessary to maintain and expand the empire because this is to remake the middle east. We heard those four if he probably even before nine eleven. But this is the excuse to remake the middle east but it also brings up the subject We talk about because it's so Effective in demonstrating what goes on in that is that truth becomes a treasonous thing in an empire and we certainly were are weighed down power and the middle east supposedly was building our empire. But i would say that the Final results aren't totally in. Because it's not a very stable empire if that's what we're gonna depend on to maintain the empire the world You know it's getting a little bit shaky but It certainly at that time was Herald is as you know doing the thing that was necessary and there were certain special interest that one is in there and wanted to have control to people. Selling weapons wanted to have control. The oil people wanted all this so went on and on but things are a lot different now and at least You know the story is coming out that Pow you know was Disingenuous when he was going to the united nations yet you can hear wasn't an easy target. I mean he had thirty or forty years where he was held in high esteem. But but it also gives us an indication that when you stick to the truth and you define everything to the best of your ability by finding out what is true and what is not you know eventually Does win out in the end.

"But Powell was more than that blunder that led to thousands of dead Americans in Iraqis and a stained U.S. legacy as a world leader. He was a fierce advocate for opportunity for immigrants, and a steadfast defender of dignity, both here and abroad. His experiences as a first generation son of Jamaican immigrants who fought in the fields of Vietnam and the corridors of Washington, shaped him and his country. In the wake of the Vietnam disaster, he developed a doctrine for the use of American force, deploy it overwhelmingly, but only when all other options are exhausted, when there is a clearly defined win and when the public has the troops backs. He never pretended the military was above political pressures. Anybody who becomes a senior officer had better have some political instincts or you're going to get ground up. He told The New York Times in 2007. We are a political nation. It is not a dirty word. Throughout his career, he had a front row seat to politics and to history, including a stent as the top uniformed aid to future national security adviser, Frank carlucci, and defense secretary cap weinberger, and the meltdown of Iran contra, Ronald Reagan recruited Powell to The White House as a deputy national security adviser and a year later promoted him to the corner suite in the west wing. Reagan's successor George H. W. Bush promoted Powell to chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, a position he held during the last days of the Cold War, the successful Gulf War and the botched early days of Somalia that lay blame and Powell's orbit. His was the advice that kept Bill Clinton from unleashing hellfire on Iraq after its intelligence service had tried to assassinate Bush 41 during a visit to Kuwait. After Powell's subsequent early resignation in 1993, he flirted with a run for The White House himself. By then a celebrity general, he drew huge crowds to bestselling book signings, landed himself marathon television interviews with the media giants of the day and seemed poised to challenge his one time boss Bill Clinton. He was a modern day Ike, such a threat to Clinton's second term that some White House advisers considered bringing back into the fold as Secretary of State. But most of his family was dead set against a possible run, his wife Alma had mused publicly and without an ounce of irony what it would be like to watch her husband, gunned down. During one private meeting, then House speaker Newt Gingrich visited Powell's home and warned him of the potential personal costs of running, a sentiment echoed during other meetings of Powell's brain trust. The consideration overlapped with the racially charged O. J. Simpson trial, and days before Powell made his official declaration as a non candidate, Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated, a reminder that no political leader can ever be entirely safe..

"There are plenty of reasons people here in D.C. roll their eyes when someone mentions Aaron Sorkin. The screenwriter and playwright sent a generation of operatives to Washington who believed witty hallway banter was a substitute for reading the footnotes of a white paper, who obsessed over clever tactics instead of baseline principles. Sorkin's versions of Washington, as CNN, a few good men, the American president, and the west wing, reduced this company town to a dichotomy of absolute good versus unquestioned evil. Morality against depravity and truth against hypocrisy. Without even involving his consistently problematic treatment of female characters, shorten corrupted America's understanding of Washington more than can be quantified in this lifetime. But and there always is a but Sorkin nailed one essential truth about how this town considers influence. Late in its run, the west wing landed a truism about how D.C. measures power. You think I'm not aware that I'm living the first line of my obituary right now? Asked fictionalized White House chief of staff CJ Craig at a late night dinner near The White House. In that, Sorkin nailed a Washington reality. Legacy is defined by the last high profile line on a CV or more often one monumental error. Which brings me to the death of Colin Powell, a legend, whose legacy spanned the globe for decades. He broke barriers, made and shaped history and reset the rules for how American military force was, or should be deployed in the post Vietnam era. He was until the election of Barack Obama, the highest ranking black individual ever to serve in government, fourth in line to the presidency as Secretary of State. The four star army general also was the first black man to serve as national security adviser, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, and as State Department chief. He completed the national security trifecta, top adviser, general, and diplomat. To read the coverage today, it's easy to see Powell as a tragic figure who used his Sterling reputation to mislead the world into a war with Iraq. The Washington Post's homepage called Powell the first black Secretary of State, who struggled with Iraq invasion. The New York Times's secondary headline noted, he helped pave the way for the war in Iraq. The Associated Press headline described him as an exemplary general stained by Iraq claims. Yes, Iraq was always going to be the first line of Powell's obituary. Powell lent his reputation of building the case for war based on what is now clearly seen as bad information. He later lamented that he was only given a week to go over the intelligence behind the Bush administration's decision to remove Saddam Hussein from power and conceded his presentation to the United Nations arguing for that outcome would become a blot on his career. I'm the one who presented it on behalf of the United States to the world. Powell told Barbara Walters two years later, acknowledging that his 76 minute presentation will always be a part of my record..

"Your source for breaking news and what to make of it all. This is the Mike Gallagher show. This man was such a man of consequence. And a consummate public servant. What President Biden is doing is unconstitutional. There is zero authority in the constitution that gives the president, the authority to mandate anybody taking a vaccine. There is no doubt no doubt that the Biden White House is aware that the president's poll numbers are dropping with each passing week. No. From the relief vector dot com studios. Here's Mike Gallagher. Of course, a big breaking story today, general Colin Powell died at the age of 84 of COVID complications on social media. It's his cause of death that has sort of ignited the Internet. Colin Powell evidently suffered from multiple myeloma, which is a cancer form of a cancer of the blood. Makes the immune system very vulnerable. He also had Parkinson's and he was 84 years old. Who knew Colin Powell was 84? And unlike people on the left, who ridicule and almost revel in the deaths of prominent conservatives, I don't think normal people on the right are going to take any satisfaction or joy in the death of somebody who's a liberal. Colin Powell was an Obama supporting liberal. And disappointed us politically over and over again, but that doesn't change the fact that a family is grieving. And America mourns with the colon pal family, just like America, mourn the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. My friend Joe Piscopo often points out how mean people are on the left. And they are, they're just vicious. And maybe that's why we lose elections. Maybe that's why we lose the media. Maybe we lose sometimes because we're not as vicious and mean as they are. But we're just not. We shouldn't be. We should have a degree of respect and decency and civility over the family of Colin Powell, who are mourning the loss of their loved one. And of course, a man with a significant and profound history and life of service here's general Jack Keane to Fox News senior strategic analysis analyst rather on Fox News. Here he was with Bill hemmer and Dana perino talking about the life the general colon Powell lived. When he first got the briefing to take down a dictator noriega in Panama, it was presented to him that we were going to build up our forces over days and a couple of weeks. And then conduct this invasion and Powell looked at enemy said, why are we doing that? We've been investing in fighting it tonight. We've got the technology we've been training all of our soldiers. Why don't we just go down and take this thug out during the middle of the night? And that is exactly what we did. We parachuted in there in the middle of the night with rangers with delta with others and in about three or four hours decapitated that dictated. Most people didn't see much of that because it happened so quickly. But America saw the unfolding of America's military that reached its prowess certainly in the 20th century when Colin Powell was also chairman of joint chiefs during the Gulf War. And they saw American conventional power on display, the fruition of a generation of rebuilding the military after Vietnam and sits Colin Powell in the highest position in a military journey unfolding of that campaign. And certainly he was an absolute reflection of what was taking place on the ground because he and many of his peers were responsible for one unfolded there and rebuilding this military. And it was there, Bill and Dana that the American people began to fall in love with the American military once again. Because they got to see them up close, and they got to see their passion and their commitment to America. And they're willing to sacrifice and their ability to articulate. Colin Powell knew if you have a VIP around send them down and see the troops and let the troops talk to him. They'll do it far better than any of the generals or any of the senior NCOs or officers. And yes, he's going to be missed, Bill. So a big, big announcement over the death of a very famous person from COVID. On social media and you know, we always reflect here what the big Talking Heads don't talk about. You know, people are speculating on social media about his manner of death. I'll bet Colin Powell lived his life. I'll bet he traveled a bet he went around, somebody gave him COVID. He wasn't hiding in his bedroom. Despite having multiple myeloma, he was fully vaccinated. According to his family, he was fully vaccinated and he died of COVID. I talked to a family friend over the weekend. Who has a dear friend whose husband died a week or two ago of COVID 50 something years old? Absolutely no preexisting conditions, no comorbidities. He was fully vaccinated and he died. There will be people who are going to die. But the problem with the mandates, the problem with the dictatorial Democrats, it is all rules for thee not for me. There were the bidens, walking through a fancy restaurant without their mask on in D.C. did you see that? How can that be? How can that be? Yep.

"And to all of my wonderful supporters. I know you are disappointed, but I also want you to know that our incredible journey is only just beginning. Thank you. God bless you and God bless America. That was the president. I also want you to hear General Colin Powell, former Secretary of State Colin Powell with Wolf Blitzer yesterday cut number six there watching with great interest, and they can't believe we have done this to ourselves. That's a gift for Mr Putin, who I know quite well, You know, we'd like to pick on them and say they're doing things wrong or bad or they're not good. And suddenly they're looking at the United States of America and we've got people running all through our Capitol building. I've never seen them run through. Capitol buildings of the Russian Federation. And so they're just smiling and say, See Americans, they're not as big and bad as they like to make themselves out to be. They're gonna be surprised They're going to discover that we're going to rebound rather quickly. I believe that once we settle this problem of these, these people who are out there, whatever they came from, arrest him, put him in jail or run him off, but clean out the place. And once we settle down and I, frankly once Mr Trump is no longer the president, United States of America. On. We have other people in the government and we have a new president. President. I think things will settle down quickly. The big problem that I have with all of this Is that? Where was the Congress and all of this? And all of the things that we have been doing. The Congress just went along with the with Mr Mr Trump. On and usually was just the Republican side. There was some things we did that. Showed that the Congress was not ready to do its duty. All of these things that have come up. Let's deploy forces here. Let's put forces there. Let's make the budget this high. Let's make the budget that budget that low. This is congressional duty business in my years in the military in my years as national security advisor and as Secretary of state I welcome Congress. Challenging me for what I was doing. That's what they're supposed to do, and that's what I'm supposed to listen to. What should I be doing? What do you think I should be doing and I would debate the Congress and I would argue with him. And we settled out the arguments after discussing them. But that doesn't happen Now We've got an extremely weak cabinet. It's getting weaker by the day they were walking out now. On they did not challenge the president. You saw the movie or the tele television piece last week. With the Argument that the president was having with some people. On. They told him the truth, but he didn't want to hear the truth. He said. No, I'm not buying that. We would never have seen something like that. During my days and government When we went into when we went in to see, say President Bush. Good gang of eight. We called ourselves the Group of eight. It was me, Mr Cheney, My boss and Secretary State Baker. It was a great group. We were free to talk. I've talked. I've told this story many, many times. You know, Mr Cheney was my boss. I was just the chairman. Had no authority in that room. What Cheney would give the Position of the Department of Defense to President Bush. Mr President. This is the decision that we make. This is what we recommend to you. And then he would pause you say, But Colin doesn't agree with me and everything cold and tell the president what you think and I would And that's the kind of organization we had. We all chipped in. We all contributed our viewpoint and not to have that kind of a government is to have the weakest possible government possible. Well, you not allow people that come in and talk openly before the President, United States and Bush would just sit there and listen to it. And then, when he had heard it all he was ready to make a decision. He made the decision. We executed that decision that's gone. I don't know where it went, but it's gone. And there is not a Cabinet now that understands this as well as they should, and they're not doing the job they're supposed to be doing. Is it going to come back in the new administration? Well, we're gonna have a new administration and it's going to be a president who has experience at that level as a you know, a politician. And I have great confidence in Joe. I know him quite well. We've done a lot together. We've raised our Corvettes together. On D. I think he is the kind of individual who will understand these issues and will approach them with a genuine approach. We wants to hear what people think. What is the case? The tone death? Uh, part there is we raised our Corvettes together. And I think people who are watching now. Not a lot of Conservatives watch CNN anymore, but if they were watching people in Middle America we raced on Corvettes together is not going to resonate..
