larry flynt publications publisher free speech activist the subject of one of the great motion pictures ever made in a great lawsuit in which he prevailed in the supreme court by a vote of nine to nothing larry's new book is one nation under sects great title how the private lives of presidents first ladies and their lovers changed the course of american history written along with david eyes and box first what are your thoughts on the election i wasn't surprised. worboys it made it a very big area you're stuck with it all the way you know and he would write all fifty states so i know you're a gambler you want to go with him to vegas give you predictions on cards. i can't believe that the. republicans had it so wrong because. kerry i could almost delusional that one when they started calling on how insane

that florida to go on for obama they just they just couldn't believe it you know obama was going to win yeah because because of all the internal polls. and you know axelrod and puff you're all very confident you know i know a lot of the hands that are. concerned at all so you're worried though action day alone no way to get obama in any way in his first term disappoint you oh yes. and he disappointed based and i don't think he's going to do it you know. is he not going to how much of a legacy. he's. a great communicator and good. guy. you know the republican play hardball you know you got to have a spine. you offered first what do you think of mitt romney the person.

boy i i always had a problem. that romney because i didn't see any sincerity there in the thing that amazed me more than anything else was. his wife and brain nice lady there and all my years. of watching all actions and first lady and how they interacted with you know candidate i have never ever seen a moment wanted to be first lady as bad as she did. was almost like. i want to be co-president that sort of thing you know usually when they always ask me or even hello again they were always more reserved or more in the background laura bush two you know laura bush as well but. i think.

ann romney took that defeat interesting observation that as you offered a million dollars for information on mitt romney's full tax returns did you ever get any we got a lot of information but one thing that i got and this is going to surprise you is because i got for making out because i do business and international and i'm through it was a good if you don't bring the money back guarantee you know you don't have to pay taxes on it. there's only two raises that you would have for making. to defer taxes or to high gas it. and so i couldn't understand what romney was hiding because all the pundits felt that he didn't want to american to say that he was paying a much less percentage of tax than they were but that's a given i don't have been factored in i knew that anyway so i very good contact in

switzerland bob what did you learn well we learned that what he wanted to keep from the american people he was a model billionaire. and here we decided early on you know to become a man. they can you can they can relate to a millionaire but a billionaire they kill you automatically had to do something wrong we had to screw somebody oh good to. so. is hanna really felt that for him to be labeled a billionaire had that was about the so-called quote by the election would not sit well with the american people and that that was what they were hiding we believe what was in the ad said so we already know that yes in order to hide. you know in order to defer taxes but if they ever if they ever we do the

tax code or they were allowed to. actually come back again and forgive a certain amount of taxes on it fine but otherwise why should you weigh it back again if you don't have paid actors are because it's money maker in foreign countries anyway are you a billionaire. i close my half way. you changed you've changed a lot in this country the thinking of this country do you think the public has come more to the larry flynt concept of sort of openness. about sex about i mean you have for you is certainly here larry you know the greatest right there in the nation can afford it people is the right to be left alone and that's fair my our you know i'm from when i first came on the scene almost forty years ago. americans whether you're a liberal conservative or whether you're in the center and they really want to be

left alone and they won a sense of fairness from their government and i think the hot button social issues . or no longer but they should be. who are told we progress toward gay rights. marijuana. and same sex marriage and the abortion issue that if you do the more you can issue is falling apart mainly because of country divided it's no longer jordi position for the public to guess is larry flynt the book one nation under sex lots of things to talk about with this incredibly interesting human being larry flint who was shot many years ago are you still bitter about that or not now all of us who remember rather what you know in the mentality of

a party i want to shoot someone because they. have a disagreement what happened to that guy. he still on death row for the veteran now before unrelated to why was this shooting in lawrenceville georgia. ok the david petraeus scandal under your concept of leave me alone david petraeus was not an elected official and appointed official did he do anything wrong. i don't think so i was always felt that. even when it comes show the president that if you fire two wars and balance the budget at the same time you should be able to sleep who you want to and i would actually perpetrate actually right in that category and it what you're seeing what trey s's. zipper gate all over again zipper gate yeah. with hand. married to the

country and the war. to the people be shocked that somebody might commit adultery well you know in the moment that idea one nation under savage form we when we look at the empanelled is the place where their way of presidencies we we never once found an active libido in any way. interfered with the president's ability to govern or to run the country for president i think if they've had a sexual life outside of their marriage or whatever it is not in your opinion affected how they run the country absolutely not no evidence whatsoever who will know what it was john kennedy. thomas jefferson for that matter you know. how would he have fared today a father had six children with a slave girl sally hemings will never do that to the ninety nine eight. d.

and i mean what is it about powerful people and sex hairy casey that once said it and i don't agree with much but i do. he says power is the ultimate aphrodisiac. i thought i could understand that well. and that of a friend that used to be a media consultant would you go forward when. he took over the presidency after nixon and he was standing alone in the oval office with ford one day and you know i've been around for a few days and he said. mr president what surprises you most about this. he said that everyone when it comes to the door wants to sleep with me.

and you know. by that it happens it's just the way it is and. you know we also have the conquest and you know you know they need to feel just inflated ego and it's. just a vicious merry go round but i think it's really harmless other than to possibly sell all motional scalia may do to some of the partners and bob but we're not going to be able to stop it larry so that you love digging up information i think the thing you're most angry at is is hypocrisy right yeah i get accused of it falling people sex life whether it was bob livingston money gate or david vitter in louisiana. there were the. credits that we explode but it was never their sex life it was always the pot christie and you know

there was a complaint with and washington d.c. that. if there is a scandal. sex symbol of it's. a democrat money it's to a public actually it's a complete opposite. money with the democrats had sex with them because. we're going to larry flynt's legacy how views on such a change over the years in america lots of other things with this extraordinary guy don't go away. is it possible to navigate the economy with all the details and to stick some misinformation in the media hype will keep you up to date by decoding the mainstream states and if in your right.

leg. or leg that was a new alert animation scripts scare me a little league. there is breaking news tonight and they are continuing to follow the breaking news the alexander family cry tears of the war you and your great things rather than have. it a court of law thrown to all the lads is a story made sort of movie is playing out in real life.

more like. the league. morning long. coming up. here is mitt romney trying to figure out the name of that thing that we americans call. a dog. i'm sorry i'm just a guy who cares an awful lot like. our. selves.

want to keep us safe to featurism the olympics the crystal ball can screw it up it's. going to look for you to distract us from what you and i should care about because they're profit driven industry that sells us sensationalistic garbage he calls it breaking news i'm not me martin and we're going to break this that. what defines a country's success. faceless figures of economic growth. or a factual standard of living.

published. sixteen different magazines. but print is on the way out right away or published in twice. five years ago so your principal business now is what broadcast television and gaming casino operations. internet. and i think broadcast and then that horror you know the real future is in magazines what's going to happen and then one more people are getting their information from the internet so i think.

made today the last couple years gone out of business so there's a lot of magazine that attrition is going to continue they're going to always be people but why. have the coffee table magazine in their hand so maybe in some kind of limited form. may legs just as for the mass circulation it's over. do you you've gotten criticism over the years do you regard yourself as a pornographer. i certainly do and i think i do it better than anyone where you know there's a mess no more. because. we know most of the old masters. very strong pension or painting newt so for centuries. pornography has.

existed. and the eighteenth century you know there. they had their leather bound editions of pornography thank you so and then. suddenly it came. to the masses and. sort as they seen it as being something or been and made it a little bit more difficult to control people lay people down through history a lot of men control information you can't limited really have a store where it's fifty children or you'll have not left out some wonderland and little red riding snow. they church has had its hand our crotch for over two thousand years and exceedingly moves in that direction.

and the government feels that you know. if they can control your sex life they can control you that's why. not just the government but the church keep debra by me on their guilt. about sex. more than any i was designed in a world of it's need jerk added to wars and for it's a perfectly healthy normal yeah but there has to be some damaging things to pornography don't you think. and then you come of purest form of art now. as the fed is isn't fantasy but. people often get confused on pornography an obscenity pornography obscenity is a legal term used to the. wired where now you feel have become to

make it obscene so just as well now douglas was once asked you know. always the difference he said wall. he said city is like the concept of sand defied definition want might be the war on not to another and i think it's best left in the minds of man well said well he's pretty bright. and you know ford tried to impeach him for that british statement. yeah i remember that any regrets in life with any regrets you know we said we're both prove they are so i want to try out of the oil spill door and. what was it like to be shot we were in tame. i thought it was curtain time. on the bass a lot of you know when my back stomach that are my mag when i was

a lot of blood right away i'm fortunate very close to the last little way got me there i was able to get its own transfusions stabilized and then i was. owed a long time recovering from a very very. you know how do you approach you knowing that you'd be in a wheelchair for life there i thought it would be difficult len people still ask me that question did they. like you if you had to write up i would never thought about it because i may have read spend time dwelling on something like a do it bring about what my going to do feel sorry for myself go to my world here and i make the best out of my life. i go out to dinner with friends you know i travel i. don't want to enjoy life. well you got your own plane you can enjoy it even though we have some social media questions for you on you joy tweeting i am larry flynt is your twitter moniker.
