Tracing Colin Powell's Mistake To The Political Mess We're In Now

With the news that former Secretary of State Colin Powell has died due to complications from covid, co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss in depth his legacy - with mostly memorable moments of historical importance framed around one huge mistake he made in selling the Iraq War to the UN Security Council. They then pull apart more of what motivates Joe Manchin to behave more like a Republican day by day.
