In this episode, Frank & Joe, decided that it would be an honor to dedicate this episode to General Colin Powell. General Colin Powell was arguably one of our nation's most impactful leaders…he was one of our Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he was the National Security Advisor as well as our 65thSecretary of State. Throughout the show Frank & Joe discuss the General's 13 Rules of Leadership and expand how those principles are applied to their own lives. 13 Rules cited from book written by Colin Powell: It Worked for Me: In Life and Leadership – Colin Powell: https://amzn.to/3vWxWCt Check out our show sponsor: This episode is brought to you by Blazing Star BBQ! https://www.blazingstarbbq.com/ Blazing Star BBQ is a veteran owned and operated by Mike Starr, who served more than 20 years to our nation.

Colin Powell, who died on October 18, 2021, wore many hats during his distinguished career in public service, among them: Secretary of State, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and National Security Advisor. And he was the first African-American to hold each of those positions. When he joined the Army in the 1950's, though, his only ambition was to be a good soldier. It was beyond the realm of possibility for the son of working class Jamaican immigrants to aspire much higher. In this episode, which originally posted in September of 2017, you'll hear Powell's stories about his journey from the South Bronx, to the jungles of Vietnam, to the Jim Crow South, to the highest reaches of government, and about the decades of American history he helped shape.

When Colin Powell died on October 18 at the age of 84 from COVID-19 complications, he left behind a long, decorated career in Washington and the U.S. Army. He spent much of his life in the military, eventually rising to the rank of four-star general, and went on to become the first Black Secretary of state and chairman of the Joint Chiefs. But, as he discussed in a 2012 interview with NPR's Robert Siegel about his memoir It Worked For Me, Powell's reputation was tarnished when he used faulty evidence to push for the Iraq War: "I'll never leave it behind." This episode comes from NPR's new podcast, Book of the Day.

K.A. Owens interviews Mack Shaw, retired librarian, veteran of the U.S. Army and the U.S. Air Force, about the legacy of the late Gen. Colin Powell, first Black Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, first Black Secretary of State of the United States. Recorded Friday October 22, 2021

General Colin Powell, who passed away this week, is remembered throughout the national security community as a distinguished public servant and American statesman. As the first Black chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the first Black Secretary of State, Powell broke barriers, shaped history, and reset the rules for how American military force should be deployed in the post-Vietnam era. In honor of his legacy and impact, we are joined this week by Jack Rives, who served alongside General Powell when he was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Jack Rives reflects on Powell's legacy, his tremendous impact on the national security community across both sides of the aisle, and pays tribute to a man of great honor, achievement, and character.

DadChat ends at 13:25!   This week, Nate and Francis discuss the recent death of Colin Powell, the first Black American to serve as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the man who lent his reputation to sell the Iraq War more than any other politician. We argue that you should in fact judge him for this, immediately, because he failed the moral test of his lifetime. We also discuss a recent Washington Post story that seems to imply America might also ‘send the Army in' to solve supply chain issues, except no one actually thinks it will happen. Get the story here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2021/10/19/white-house-supply-chain-national-guard/   For this week's bonus, Francis, Joe, and Shocks discuss the strange case of Marine LTC Stuart Scheller and his relentless desire to post. Is it a good idea to be pro-se defendant in a UCMJ court? Is it a good idea to try and personally charge the commandant of the Marine Corps because someone told you that it was allowed under maritime law or whatever?

Colin Powell, former Secretary of State, Joint Chiefs chairman, and omnipresence in American foreign policy for the past 20 years, died on Monday from complications from COVID-19. He was 84-years-old and been sick for years with multiple myeloma, a rare blood cancer.  Colin Powell was many things to many people. A symbol of the American dream. The public voice — for a time — of the Iraq War. A so-called “RINO,” or Republican-in-name-only. A good soldier. Though widely remembered as a barrier-breaking hero by folks across the aisle, in his death, as in life, there are those who are using Colin Powell as an opportunity for scoring political points.  Looking back at the life of Colin Powell, it is worth recalling that he was once one of America's most popular public officials, polling favorably among 85 percent of Americans in a 2002 Gallup poll. But what Colin Powell is perhaps most remembered for is his 2003 presentation to the UN Security Council explaining the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. A little over a year later, Powell went on NBC's Meet the Press and essentially retracted his assertion, saying it "turned out that the sourcing was inaccurate and wrong and in some cases deliberately misleading." Brooke speaks with Fred Kaplan, a veteran reporter on foreign policy and national security, long-time writer of Slate's "War Stories" column, and even longer-time husband of Brooke, about the life and legacy of Colin Powell.

Colin Powell's life was marked by public service, first as a soldier in Vietnam and then eventually as President George W. Bush's secretary of state. By that time he had already held many prominent positions in government, including national security adviser and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was the first African American to hold each of these roles. But Powell's story will always be entwined with the Iraq War. Although he argued against the invasion in private White House meetings, he did see it through. And he famously defended the strategy on a national stage before the United Nations. NPR National Correspondent Don Gonyea reports on Powell's enormous and complicated legacy. In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

Colin Powell, known as a “trailblazer” and “pathbreaker” in his military career, leaves behind a complicated legacy.

Thirty years after his rise to national prominence, Powell's death has prompted reflections on the Iraq War and his role in using false intelligence to justify the U.S. invasion.   Guest: Fred Kaplan, Slate's War Stories columnist.  If you enjoy this show, please consider signing up for Slate Plus.

Kelvin Cochran served as a firefighter for over three decades. He was named “Fire Chief of the Year” in 2012, and former President Barack Obama appointed him the U.S. Fire Administrator, the highest fire service post in the nation. But Cochran faced a different kind of fire in 2015 when he was terminated as Atlanta's fire chief for writing a book in which he expressed his personal views that marriage is between one man and one woman. Cochran reached a settlement with the city of Atlanta in 2018, but says the experience of losing his job because of his faith was “challenging, to say the least.” As Americans, “we have the freedom to live out our faith, religious liberty, and we have freedom to speak our faith in whatever form of speech that we feel convicted to do without consequences,” Cochran says. “You shouldn't have to lose anything for living out your faith or speaking in your faith in our country.” Cochran joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss his new book, “Facing the Fire: The Faith That Brought ‘America's Fire Chief' Through the Flames of Persecution.” We also cover these stories: Former Secretary of State and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell dies due to complications from COVID-19.The Supreme Court issues two opinions that are being hailed as big wins for police officers.

Colin Powell, the first Black US secretary of state whose leadership in several Republican administrations helped shape American foreign policy in the last years of the 20th century and the early years of the 21st, has died from complications from Covid-19, his family said on Facebook. He was 84. "General Colin L. Powell, former U.S. Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, passed away this morning due to complications from Covid 19," the Powell family wrote on Facebook, noting he was fully vaccinated. Powell had multiple myeloma, a cancer of plasma cells that suppresses the body's immune response, as well as Parkinson's, Peggy Cifrino, Powell's longtime chief of staff, confirmed to CNN. Even if fully vaccinated against Covid-19, those who are immunocompromised are at greater risk from the virus. "We have lost a remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather and a great American," the family said. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Colin Powell, 84, died on Monday due to complications from COVID-19. Powell was one of the largest figures in American public, political and military life of the past four decades. As a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, secretary of state and national security adviser he helped craft modern U.S. foreign policy, including his controversial role in the lead up to the Iraq war in 2003. Born in Harlem, N.Y., to Jamaican parents, Powell was a pioneer in a number of his public service roles, including his time as the first Black Secretary of State and first Black chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. When he endorsed Barack Obama for President in 2008, it was one of then-Senator Obama's most significant endorsements, particularly because of Powell's military credentials. We remember Powell's impact on American life, and how his role affected Californians of all political stripes.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell died this morning at the age of 84. In a statement posted on Facebook, his family said that Gen. Powell was fully vaccinated, but he died due to complications from COVID 19.Gen.

David tried to add another side to a conversation on Twitter and was informed that just wasn't the way things worked on the internet by The Hoarse Whisperer, who let slip the dogs of Twitter on him for the day. In the end, Hoarse showed he could be a bigger man, or at least, duck, by extending an apology. Dr. Anthony Fauci says “Merry Christmas!”, MAGA refuses. Colin Powell, the first Black secretary of state and Joint Chiefs of Staff, a bit of a war criminal, thoughtful, eloquent, unindicted, but fully vaccinated, is dead from the complications of COVID-19, which were complicated by multiple myeloma, and by being 84 years old, which is enough to kill you without any complications. Getting vaccinated is a no-brainer, or perhaps the no-brainers are the ones who resist being vaccinated. Still, the unvaxxed do have a point... or at least that is what you're supposed to tell them.

Today's show is all about Colin Powell's death from complications associated with Covid, and his mixed legacy as an African-American trailblazer, who was the first Black US Secretary of State, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and National Security Adviser, who also had a few blots on his record, including his support for banning gays from the military (Powell successfully sabotaged President Clinton's effort to repeal the gay ban), and his now-infamous speech to the United Nations justifying the second Iraq War by claiming that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, when he did not.This is one of our premium episodes.

The Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union is at its peak when the unthinkable happens: nuclear war. Sixty years later, the remaining 13 states rose from the ashes to form the American Union, governed by the authoritarian Joint Chiefs of Staff and protected by a border wall to keep out nuclear radiation . . . and the individuals who were enhanced by it. Nuclear Power is a darkly poignant alternate history of the Cuban Missile Crisis that posits the lengths to which a government will go to protect (or deceive) its citizens. When the Joint Chiefs' dark secrets are revealed, will survivors on both sides of the wall join forces to fight for their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, or will their differences forever divide them?

“There is no peacetime in the information environment,” according to Greg Radabaugh, who is the former Director of the Joint Information Operations Warfare Center (JIOWC). “Information rounds are being fired at us continually 24/7.” While our forces do well at operations in the information environment (OIE) at the tactical and operational levels, Greg discusses the imperative for US leaders to focus on the strategic aspects of informational power (IP). After recapping the history and purpose of the JIOWC, Greg gives his perspective on the concept of informational power--a term coined by the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Joe Dunford. A key factor in successfully applying IP is characterizing the IE in a manner that enables commanders to understand adversary actions in the IE and resulting decisions. Greg also discusses the new version of Joint Pub 3-13 (Information Operations) as well as the importance of Joint Doctrine, in general, as a definitional framework especially important for synchronizing activities across the DoD enterprise and among friends and allies.

President Biden received his booster shot this week at the White House on camera following the FDA and CDC's approval of the third dose for Americans over the age of 65, those with underlying health conditions and front-line workers at higher risk of being exposed to the virus. The President is still pleading with those Americans who still have not received their first COVID-19 shot saying, "This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated." FOX News Washington Correspondent Rachel Sutherland speaks with U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy about some of the reasons people will not take the vaccine and how the administration plans to sell it to the unvaccinated. This week we heard from President Biden's top military officials, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley and CENTCOM Commander General Kenneth McKenzie during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan. Rachel speaks with General Jack Keane, FOX News Senior Strategic Analyst, and retired four-star general, about the key takeaways from this week's hearing and the future of America's war against terrorism.

Topping today's episode: Axios is reporting that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley says that the State Department is to blame for the chaos that came along with the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.  The news outlet is citing sources referring to comments that Milley made during classified briefings that followed his public testimony this week.  The news outlet is reporting that Milley bluntly criticized State Department officials for waiting too long to order the evacuation of civilians. 

This week, President Biden's top military officials, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley and Commander of U.S. Central Command General Kenneth McKenzie testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee about the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan. Both Gen. Milley and Gen. McKenzie testified to lawmakers that they recommended maintaining a U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan, contradicting President Biden's earlier claims in August that he was never advised to leave a small military presence in the region. Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) joins to weigh in on the latest revelation regarding Afghanistan troops. The Senator also discusses Congress's battle to get President Biden's domestic agenda passed, including the bipartisan infrastructure bill and if he thinks it will happen. Plus, he explains why Republicans won't help Democrats raise the debt ceiling despite fears that the U.S. could default.   President Biden's economic agenda has been put in jeopardy by congressional Democrats, with the clash between moderate and progressives within the party creating uncertainty about the feasibility of the President's $3.5 trillion spending plan. House progressives have threatened to tank the bipartisan infrastructure bill unless the moderates in the Senate approve the multi-trillion-dollar plan. President Biden has canceled his scheduled trip to Chicago this week in order to meet with Democrat lawmakers to resolve the split. Co-founder and President of RealClearPolitics Tom Bevan joins to break down the obstacles President Biden faces in passing his agenda, the impact the Democrats' small majority in Congress has had on relations within the party, and why the President's approval numbers are slipping.   Plus, commentary by FOX News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean.

A new book by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa contains reporting about several controversial actions by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley in late 2000 and early 2021, regarding conversations with his Chinese counterparts, his discussion with senior military officers about following standard nuclear procedures (if need be), and reaching out to others like the CIA and NSA directors to remind them to watch everything closely. Were each of these reported actions proper for a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and why? And what about all of this coming out in books?

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, upon this program's review of federal laws on the role of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, it was determined that the Chairman has no command function over the United States military. None. Although, the Chairman can oversee a combat command function if asked to do so on behalf of the Secretary of Defense. General Mark Milley seized power in contravention of the federal statute. There's leaking to news outlets to spin the Milley story and minimize its negative fallout. Later, Attorney Michael Sussman from Perkins Coie, the firm that represented Hillary Clinton, has been indicted in John Durham's investigation. He's being charged with making false statements to the FBI when he lied about representing Hillary Clinton in 2016 while lying about Donald Trump. This is the same law firm that laundered the money for the phony dossier paid for by the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign and the Democrat National Committee. Clinton's lawyer, Marc Elias, has raised $715 million through a web of dark money front groups that are prepared to sue their way around existing laws - this must be stopped. Meanwhile, Julie Kelly, Sr. Contributor at American Greatness, joins the show to take on Phillip Bump from the Washington Post who is now attacking this program for the January 6th riot at the US Capitol. Kelly added that two federal judges have raised questions as to the constitutionality of some of these felonies that are being levied against some protesters that didn't even enter the Capitol Building. Afterward, President Biden wants to destroy jobs, the currency, and the American way of life by using Marxism. No company in America has more money and employees than the US federal government and they have the power to make laws. And the Democrat Party wants to be the permanent singular party that dominates all control of the state and its bureaucracy. Finally, Larry Kudlow, former Director of the National Economic Council during the Trump Administration, calls in to discuss how Biden's use of class warfare and welfare programs will further rig the playing field instead of leveling it for all Americans. The Trump Tax cuts did that and the Biden Tax increases will kill those gains.
