They’re doing everything they can to ignore the negative things Colin Powell said about — and, by the way, this is gonna change the day for Colin Powell. Colin Powell is not thought to speak this way. People don’t think that Colin Powell even thinks this way.

Colin Powell is not a “partisan.” He doesn’t say mean things about people except the people who deserve to have mean things said about them, like me. But, other than that, he doesn’t criticize establishment types. And look what’s in these emails. My God, we could make at least two T-shirts with nothing but Colin Powell quotes on the front! In fact, that may be an idea. They’ve been trying to push the idea that Powell won’t be voting for Trump because Powell called Trump “a national disgrace.”


Ha! Who saw that coming?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know what's funny to watch. What's funny to watch
is the drive Buys trying to portray Colin Powell and
his hacked emails as devastating to Trump. It's folks, this
is hilarious. They're doing everything they can to ignore the
negative things Colon power. And by the way, this is

(00:20):
going to change the day for Colin Powell. This Colin
Powell is not thought to speak this way. People don't
think that Colon Powell even thinks this way. Colon Powell
is not a partisan. He doesn't say mean things about
people except the people who deserve to have mean things
that about them, like me. But other than he doesn't

(00:41):
he doesn't criticize establishment tipe and look what's in these emails,
my goad. We we we've got we could make at
least two T shirts with nothing but Colon Powell quotes
on the front. In fact, that may be an idea.
They've been trying to push the idea that Powell won't
be voting for Trump because Powell called Trump a national disgrace.

(01:06):
Who saw that coming? Now the news is Bill Clinton
is still well, I know he said it, but we
you know, we have standards, We have standards on this
on this program. Um. But the thing is, if you

(01:31):
look at these emails, it's a safe bet that that
Colin Powell is not going to be endorsing Hillary Clinton.
I mean, that's that's the message here. There's a guy
named Jeff Leechs is a huge donor. He emailed Colin
Powell on July fourteen to tell him he'd gotten Rudy
Giuliani to admit that President Obama is a decent guy

(01:54):
and that Hillary is not stoppable in the two thousand
and sixteen election. That's what this Jeff Jeff Leads guy
told Powell. He got Julie anned to admit. Powell said,
you know, I'd rather not have to vote for her,
although she is a friend I respect. She's a seventy
year old person, long track record, she's hampered by being greedy,

(02:16):
not transformational, with a husband still dicking bimbos at home.
But he got out of that one by crediting that
to the New York Post. This is I know, when
he's talking about The New York Post ran a story
about some babe that Clinton knows and and and visits
Chappaqua when Hillary is not around. Just the energizer, right right,

(02:40):
the energizer bunny, whatever her name is. But there's a
whole slew of these women and everybody knows it. And
here's Colin Powell referring to how many how can you
vote for Hillary? How can you respect to her husbands?
Still dicking Bimbo's up in Chappaqua at home, still dicking
bimbos at hol Colin Powell, Colon Powell saying this in

(03:02):
an email. Do you ever think your email is going
to be hacked? You know what you want to start?
Everybody you ought to Every email you write, you better
write it with the thought in mind, what if the
world saw this someday another email, Colin Powell describes Hillary

(03:22):
as Hubrists. I'll want to go back these Colin Powell
emails because, folks, let me tell you something. We we
actually learn a lot here. We learn more than you think.
If you know how to read these things, if you
know how to attach the meaning in these emails to

(03:43):
the real world lives of the people writing these emails
and commenting on them, you can learn a lot more
than just what Colin Powell thinks of Bill Clinton. Let's
go through them. Secretary of State, former Secretary of State

(04:04):
Colin Powell ripped into Hillary Clinton in several personal emails
over the years. While the drive by media is trying
to say that Powell really ripped into Trump, they're doing
that to try and not report what Powell said and
wrote about Hillary. This is according to a document dump

(04:26):
of hacked emails on the website d c leaks dot com.
CBS News No Less waited through the documents and they
picked out some of the most interesting emails blasting Hillary.
In one blunt, I mentioned this to you before the
break at the top of the hour. In one blunt
two thousourteen email with Democrat mega donor Jeffrey Leeds, Colin

(04:51):
Powell had this to say of Hillary quote, I would
rather not have to vote for her, although she's a friend,
I respect a set in the year old person with
a long track record, unbridled ambition, greedy, not transformational, with
our husbands still dicking bimbos at home. According to The
New York Post, so that's one email at Colin Powe said,

(05:16):
describing Hillary, that is quite an accusation, especially it builds
advanced age. It's no wonder the drive buyers are trying
to concentrate on what Powell said about Trump, because these
are devastating, And this is Colin Powell. He's as close,

(05:37):
he's as clote, he's as close to untouchable Mr Pure,
Mr Clean as Washington d C has to offer. Or
he was in another email to the same guy, megadowner
Jeffrey Leeds. This is August of two thousand and fifteen,

(05:58):
Colin Powell weighed in on his own use of private
emails for State Department business. Quote. Agree, press has started
asking Peggy and me about our use. We've answered free
i G questionnaire, that's Inspectors General. We've we've answered three
i G questions and we're clean. He told this guy,

(06:21):
we're clean. Now a news he asked today to interview
me on my use. I told him to read my
book chapter on brain wear. So he calls journalist news
ees he had news. He asked today to interview me
on my use of private email service. I told to
read my book chapter on brain wear. You ready for what?

(06:43):
I look at, folks, I'm just reading what what? What?
The hacked emails reveal they are going. I don't want
to say the word I did let me. He didn't
say screw it up. But it's closed that. He said,

(07:04):
they are going to screw up the legitimate and necessary
use of emails with these freaking record rules. I saw
email more like a telephone than a cable machine, as
long as the stuff is unclassified. I had some secure
State dot gov machine. Everything Hillary Rodham Clinton touches, she
kind of screws up with Hubris. Hey, yeah, I did it,

(07:29):
but not the way she's doing it. I didn't use
State Department email on my private server, no way, no how.
I never went there, and I personal stuff. Yea, But
she's gonna screw it all up. These rules. She screwed
it up for everybody. Everything she touches, she screws up
with Hubrists. That email continues, I told you about the

(07:51):
gig I lost to the university because she saw overcharged them.
They came underheat and they couldn't pay any fees for
a while. I should send her a bill, folks. That
is I can't tell you how telling that is. Let
me translate this for you. Powell is complaining about Hillary
in this email to a megadowner of the Democrat Party.

(08:14):
He said, I told you about the gig, meaning the
speech opportunities speech gig I told you about the speech
gig I lost to the university because she's so overcharged them.
They came underheat and they couldn't pay any fees for
a while. The ruling class, this crowd, is obsessed with

(08:37):
speaking gigs. Hillary twenty million dollars in two years making
twenty minutes speeches to banks. Bill and Hillary Clinton's net
worth eighty percent of what they have earned since leaving
the White House is from speech income, and apparently say

(09:03):
they would Colin Powell, apparently speech income is hugely important
to these people, and he's ticked off here because Hillary
went and gave a speech at some university and also
asked him she charged them so much. When it was
learned how much they paid her, they got all kinds
of heat and they had to cancel subsequent speeches or

(09:27):
ask people to give them for nothing because they had
run out of money and there was so much heat
on they couldn't keep up the facade. And now these speeches,
it's it's it's made to look like that the money
is not a factor. The people who get paid try
to downplay it. No, No, I care about these issues,

(09:50):
my heart. I care about the country. I had devoted
to the education of young minds. I I thoroughly enjoyed
the trip to campus, spending time there at the academy
and academ It's a great opportunity to share with these students,
to show up the breadth of knowledge I've acquired over

(10:11):
the course of the years. It's the least I can
do to pay people, the least you can do. You're
getting paid six figures to show up and mumble this stuff.
I think this is a big discovery. I think it's
a big find that that's how these people grease their skids. Well, no, no, no, not.

(10:33):
You can make money however you want. As far as
I'm concerned, I just think there's a lot of funniness
attached to this, and how much value is it in
truth when colleges and universities don't invite conservatives to come
make speeches and certainly don't pay. But I just besides
all that, look at what he's angry about. Hillary is

(10:56):
so overcharged Hubris that there wasn't any money left for him,
so he didn't get his speaking gig. Ruling class very
very obsessed with these speech gigs, folks. I've never charged
for one, never ever. I even pay my own expenses

(11:21):
to get to them. It's never felt right charging people
to make us but I can't. I don't know why.
I can't tell you why. I just felt I've never
and I've been offered a lot of money and I've
never accepted it. In a recent email August this year,
Colin Powell called Hilary's excuse for using an email server

(11:43):
a dumb one dumb. She should have done a full
Monty at the beginning. She was using email when she
took over. They put the personal system in the basement
a few months later. The dinner was June. She didn't
even advise her Okay for me, she was already doing it.
I gave her written guidance on why and how I've
been doing it. I warned her staff three times over

(12:04):
the past two years not to try to connect it
to me. I'm not sure Hillary Rodham Clinton even knew
her understood what was going on in the basement. Now
you might think that's exculpatory. That's not what that is.
He's saying. I don't know how much she knows about
any of this stuff. I don't know how much she knows.

(12:28):
I know she's not even aware smartest woman in the world,
and look at all the things that she admits she
doesn't understand or doesn't know. And in August one email
bashing Donald Trump, Powell talked about his frustration with Clinton
as well, you know, it could have been so easy

(12:51):
for her just to tell what she did, just to
the full money. You know, last night people came up
to me. They said, she threw you under the bus.
I said, don't be silly, She's to the bus. The
FBI guys loved me, and so did the Inspector General guys.
The conversation turned to Clinton's always trying to use you.
That's coldon Powell. Clinton is always trying to use you.

(13:13):
Most folks up here to test Trump, and they won't
vote for him, but they dislike her intensely at the
same time. Oh well, the country will decide. That's his
that's his reference to Trump, and that's what the media
wants everybody to think, is all he said in these emails.
They didn't say anything else about Hillary or anything of

(13:37):
the sort. But it's it's a it's a halfway decent
treasure troph here of indications in the minds of these
ruling class types about what's important to them. And notice
notice how front and center money these are. The people

(14:00):
try to convey their above that money. No, no, no,
that's that's a that's a that's AHOI POLOI concern and
I am above that. I I don't I don't need
money for what I I'm not concerned with the money.
I'm in this for the good of the students and
the audience, and I'm I'm in this for the good
of the money. I couldn't care that. They care totally

(14:21):
about the money, just like everybody else does.
