The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Season 7 Episode 106: Colin Powell

In this episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, the host welcomes former Secretary of State Colin Powell to the show. Powell, who served under President George W. Bush, discusses his views on foreign policy and the state of politics in America.

Stewart and Powell engage in a lively discussion about Powell's role in the lead up to the Iraq War, and Powell is candid about his regrets regarding the presentation he gave to the United Nations. Powell also discusses his views on the use of military force, his opinion on the current situation in the Middle East, and his thoughts on President Obama's foreign policy.

In addition to his conversation with Powell, Stewart also provides his trademark commentary on the day's events. He takes aim at the media's coverage of a high-profile criminal trial, and he highlights the absurdity of a political scandal involving a senator and a bathroom stall.

As always, The Daily Show features a number of hilarious skits and segments, including a comedic piece about the increasingly ridiculous nature of political attack ads, and a fake news report about a fictitious "war on Christmas."

Throughout the episode, Stewart uses his irreverent humor and incisive wit to provide a unique perspective on the news of the day. With Powell's insights and Stewart's comedic perspective, this episode of The Daily Show provides an engaging and informative look at the state of American politics and foreign policy.
