tv Politicking With Larry King RT July 10, 2014 9:00pm-9:30pm EDT
9:00 pm
he's all opinionated outspoken and ready to take a stand on the day's red hot issues he's my good friend bill maher get ready there's he's joining me for this edition of politicking. politicking on larry king joining me one of my favorite people who's never afraid to say what he wants the host of real time with bill maher on h.b.o. the one and only maher himself and i let's get right into current issues none more current than this to sterling now i've heard did you have attack the fact that he was taped. that that's you know but i know dns them justify the means but this is absurd well you know it's be good if we could keep two thoughts and i had the
9:01 pm
same time you know no one forgives the racism it's nice we've reached a place in america where that's not even debatable nobody stands up for the racism but you know the fourth amendment is and bean bag now i get it that he's in a kind of a quads i public situation there with the team it's not its own not public but it's the other owners can kick him out but when i was saying a lot of people interesting i almost never get cute does from both left and right both left and right liked that i said you know what if you can't to your own girlfriend in your living room without losing your property. then what is before the amendment because the fourth amendment is the one that says we should be secure in our homes secure in our property secure in our persons and. you know racism is bad and so is losing the fourth amendment so what do you do when it bounces what
9:02 pm
once is out the owners have no way to go i mean they can say well yeah we shouldn't take them but what do we do right now i don't know what would they would they would i mean i had kareem abdul-jabbar in the week before and i said you know everyone's saying how brave commissioners solver was well he wasn't exactly brave i'm not saying he did the wrong thing but it's not brave when you do something that every single person says you should do and brave is going against the grain the grain is would keep going on the air and you know what the owners wanted to get rid of sterling because it's going to hurt them the business the players would have just revolted it's been there already african american league so you know it wasn't brave but it was perhaps the right thing to do i'm sure it was the right thing to do like how do you think it is who's advising him on doing other appearances close foot in the mouth this is classic actually i think. judging from the anderson cooper and you know view that's actually going to help him because now people are
9:03 pm
just going to think well this guy is it's pathetic dimentia you know i mean no one can be that bad. you know on purpose you can't act that stupid and he said about the wife. from what i read she's a racist i mean that well yeah that she was kind of his right hand man with the apartment buildings and you know i it's unlikely in a marriage that long that they would have very differing political views it's it's rare when you find a mary matalin james carville kind of marriage usually husband and wife are aligned on those kind of issues so i don't think she's some sort of outlier in this i think she's. guilty to know the number of missions in all the years and i have been interviewing bill maher since one nine hundred eighty seventy nine eighty he'd worked in washington one time when my on my radio show he was a regular not every ninety ninety nine i think the first time i was on was when i
9:04 pm
was on politically correct which is early nine you know you want in a club in washington really you were it was in the eighty's you what made out of there are things that club and why get involved and produce a pipe a loved you and say you got to have this pile o. marcin sound and that said you have a better memory than i do let's say in all these years and then yes it is why in two thousand and fourteen is this the racism in america i mean what's stupider than not liking someone because of its own risk in which they have nothing to do with what is stupid in that i mean people won't give how going to anyone with half a brain and i don't know why i don't know what i do i fancy this well i guess i'm going to gene you got to do you know. you know i'm the one who's always saying america it's stupid to bet big book it matter but. it's dope and they say well i can prove it jobs are in various you know sixty percent of the people think noah's ark story is true literally drew i mean our people stupidly got everybody on
9:05 pm
leverage count the ways i mean i mean racism is obviously fused with a lot of different things some of it is just lizard brain nonsense you don't look like me i hate you some of it has to do with economics and class and the way rich people are able to use things like race to divide poor people you know it's very easy to get people distracted from the issues that they should be thinking about by pointing to race that mexicans going to take your job well that mexican is probably not going to take your job because as it's been proved over and over again john mccain said it once and you can do it my friend you can't pick fruit and the sun all day white people have tried and they will to buy lunch and other areas. it's engressia list a geisha and to bend yeah well you may have the democrats are saying that this is a phony thing well it is a funny thing it's been a funny thing from the beginning i mean it's a tragedy but not everything bad that happens in the world is obama's fault or is
9:06 pm
that they're always there template for everything is to work backwards from obama is evil obama is a socialist obama is a screw up somehow he's simultaneously an evil genius and also he completely incompetent and just terribly dumb so it depends on what day it is our friday at the end of our show this week our little editorial is about. we're egging the democrats the republicans on to impeach him because i think that would be very good for obama if they would go ahead and impeach him and i would like to challenge the republicans if ben ghazi is as awful as they say it is and let's get real they're investing in it for the eighth time almost half of republicans in america say it's the worst scandal ever in american history absolutely worst scandal ever so if it's really that bad then isn't it your obligation to impeach him and that would be
9:07 pm
great because that would fire up the left wing base so i'd like to see the impeachment go for i'd like to see them put their money where their mouth is and get do you think that's partially racial at least partially absolutely i think a lot of this country has never gotten over the fact that we elected it and not only just elected i think what really blew their minds was reelected. you know the first time they could kind of ok everybody experiments. this second time really bothered them because it's like wow america got a real good look at a black president and went for it again that i think psychologically was the most damaging thing that's happened to them because of the barack obama that they wanted the people who saw him and still voted for him there were turn of monica lewinsky this is a person who is basically spent almost twenty years now and from this person present
9:08 pm
. she can't get a job that she says you know every time she goes and they make some excuse and we understand why because it's a distraction. probably a brain when she went to the london school of economics i never met her but she does make a great point which is that she said if i'm so stupid how come my first job. out of college was working at the white house also i kind of got on people who i think are hypocritical about getting down on her for the affair as it wasn't a she was in her early twenty's and if you remember back that far larry i barely do but i don't know most girls in that age that's the experimental age like college age early twenty's late teens so that's when they're having sex with people they have no intention to stay with you know that and that's ok you know sex is not harmful if you you know take precautions and so forth so while other girls are
9:09 pm
having sex with you know i don't know the bouncer at the club and this idiot who lives next door to them in the condo and she's having sex with the president of the united states and said i'm talking with him she says it was an actual relationship that was and that mrs shand was communication they were gifts exchanged promises made. so you know the whole world is looking for five minutes with this guy and by the way this is when clinton was in his forty's he was very robust he was very low so she's having sex with the hottest guy in the world and her first job out of college is in the white house but she's the more you know i mean it looks like it was a fun relationship to lynne cheney going on as lynne cheney suggested that the clintons were behind the lewinsky article that they had vanity fair publish it to get the story out of the way by that well it's a bit of a conspiracy theory but i mean it wouldn't be the strangest thing i've ever heard of in my life. it makes sense in july i don't want to inoculate that idea is good
9:10 pm
noticable but but monica's point was you know why now because hillary is most likely going to be the next next president and maybe for eight years and of course if that happens then she's going to lose another ten years of her life so come on let's how about a moratorium twenty years is a long time to be and well a christian ethic is to forgive. forget what you know you know just let her have a life what do you make of the novato ranch and mr bundy clavin bundy and he is faced with the feds lots of the right wingers love this guy until until of course the relevant point is that they should not love them to begin with he's a scofflaw you know somehow that the rule of law people except i didn't like him they liked him because he some just knows that the federal government as you know larry the federal government is always evil and needs to be drowned in the bath and so somebody like liben bundy who does not let the revenuers from the government
9:11 pm
push him around he has of course a hero except he's not a hero he's a guy who didn't pay is grazing fees and by the way those people who are mad at the government on so much lead i'm glad the federal government owns that much lead because what would the other people do with it probably ruin it like they have with the rest of the country it's that's why the federal government owns a lot of land so we can preserve our national heritage it's all our land and some of that needs to stay pristine and polluted these idiots now when you tell who want to drive their a.t.v.'s into the land just because we say we can't yes let the eco system lead somewhere and so logical it's what isn't logical place lately. we now move to the world of politics and she said i'll do what is bill think about who might be the g.o.p. nominee will in the battlefield and does he think hillary's automatic as well it's
9:12 pm
9:13 pm
9:14 pm
back with bill maher chris christie does he have a future. it's garbage removal i don't know but i want to know i think he has a future i don't know. i think you know we did something about the fact that he should have run in two thousand and twelve because the longer you stay on the vine the more likely something like that is going to come up obama was very smart remember when he ran every said how can you run you down even in the senate people don't even know who you are and he went exactly that's exactly the point they don't know who i am if i wait around of the four years old i'm going to pick at more votes to use against me and chris christie if he was smart should have run in two thousand and twelve when he was still have that new candidate smell any good been indicted you know yeah it's looking worse and worse because of course when the press doesn't come up with the really important stories the t.v.
9:15 pm
press anyway but boy when they get their hooks into something that scandalous they will just root and room out of the big medical you are instead that's the fun of them presents democrat liberal a liberal doesn't like this they're going to action it yeah yeah absolutely there's no prisoner that's right ok. a lot of people are saying the best race would be jeb bush and hillary clinton it would be issue oriented wouldn't go into the who would fall asleep well i wouldn't fall asleep but we're talking about two centrists corporatists type people who are going to left a little right a little left alone who are not really going to new vis country off the track it's on i can't see either one of them doing ending bold like demanding a carbon tax you know if you pick up the paper almost any day that we dissenting really really scary and frightening about the with the where the climate is going and i don't see either one of them and of course if you look at the polls the
9:16 pm
people in america these geniuses don't even have it on their list of top ten things to be worried about so it requires great leadership i think it's obviously the most important issue of our time requires great leadership i don't see it coming from either a hillary or a jeb bush you see it coming from anyone yes i think something like elizabeth warren one of the most gutsy people i've seen in politics in a long time she's somebody i think who would really say what she feels and she may not ever win anything but i'd love to see her or run with hillary how about that a granny ticket. a rand paul rand paul or i like his father i like half of them. you know half of them make so much sense and says the things that nobody else to say. let's end the empire nothing in the constitution says america has to have an empire about droning let's bring the troops home he's not drowning is different drowning as they were drowning you attack the you love the fourth
9:17 pm
amendment you favor droning a citizen without a trial in another country well i think you said droning in the morning about a citizen and that's a different issue as well ran are all is made up then also i yes i do favorite that the citizen we did drone i was in favor of that just because you're a citizen of america that should not serve as a shield to you you if. are attacking americans words that i was absolutely larry and say just because there's a flaw at the moment don't say stupid things in private well that's a very different reading of the fourth amendment we're talking about it don sterling and his living room had been talking about bombing the white house i would have a very different view about about but he still was taped and you're against the taping of him and making it public and we got to began to have it both ways with these are two different issues larry i can't have it to deploy their constitutional and you can't kill an american citizen without a trial you also cannot use the constitution as a shield if you are plotting against american citizens it's very different to be
9:18 pm
spouting off about whether your girlfriend who brings a black eye to the ball game is a little different than one out and more ella locky was doing which was inspiring people and plotting to kill americans and that should not be used as a shield as far as droning goes i'm sure we could do the droning program better but i was never in favor of invading iraq as a way to fight the war on terror which is really the war against muslim fundamentalism. but you have to do something i'm not for doing nothing so using whole armies against terrorists is a very bad idea because that's not who they are there's small bands of people knew when the war on terror well you don't ever win it right it's like crime there will always be some crime but there are some people in the world who do need killing and drones do that better than armies we kill we don't know how many iraqis when we sent over the army that well a lot of them killed each other but hundreds of thousands at least a hundred thousand we haven't killed anyone near that number when we when we use
9:19 pm
the drones and it was it you know that said the botched education secu sion in oklahoma was a box that killed them but i should have been it was a didn't kill right that was very funny what do you make of the whole death penalty if that is the craziest situation because first of all this is a country that kills some. she would just talk about droning gun violence attentions texas alone right i mean killing is what we do in fact that we have this this issue with killing people i mean we're over thinking in this i mean none must be like what put them put them in a pit where the wild boar you people are thinking too hard about this why don't we just look here's tears we know how to make people fall asleep right get michael jackson's doctor in there ok he used to do it once you have them out. just tell them in any of the ways we know really do work join them in that team electrocute them firing squad delegate one stare out why do we have to like have this idea that
9:20 pm
we have to nudge them just ever so slightly into death like we're you know only really doing a living name you know here if it's not humane about how you do it you're killing them ok so this whole idea that we have to have this cocktail of drugs for it's like the razor you know the first blade lift the show the first drug kind of gets you sleepy and the second one puts you out and the third one you know terry it's like you're on a massage table with norah jones playing in the back it's insane knocked him out and kill them or just show them it's not a big thing do you favor the death penalty you know i always have in principle it's just that we don't do it well enough you know there's too much failure in principle yes i mean i do favorite moments of all i just think this to many people i think our justice system is too screwed blued and tattooed black and blacks or asians or that whites are not well i mean that's part of it there's
9:21 pm
a racial element that's just as incompetent at that element to it you know that there are probably some innocent people be put to death but i think i would if it was may i would rather be put to death than live in solitary for seventy years i mean we put people in solitary that is truly cruel and unusual punishment if you to be alone year after year after year we didn't use we used to do this very very sparingly now we do it all the time and that is the i think there's an issue that they should be talking about with prisons when the if they reserve which is marijuana you've long been an advocate of this legalization it appears are they are at a collateral hole but obama said the other day that no one is no more dangerous than alcohol but he quickly stressed that he does see pot use as a bad habit and a vice. you know he's a politician he's got at that but it's not about the medical use. well of course for medical use i mean to talk to anybody who's used it for medical reasons
9:22 pm
and they will tell you that very often provides a solace that nothing else they tried that's coming everywhere but there's that but we don't have to use that excuse anymore it doesn't have to we don't have to have the fig leaf of oh i'm using it because i have this whatever it is i told them i had how about just because we want to because of all the drugs of all the mood altering agent you could get your hands on this is the one that's that's least harmful and also again a freedom issue how about that for the republicans where's the tea party and this this but to be that people love freedom so much what could be more cause for freedom that we're at and what happens in your own head how you treat what goes on in your own mind the mood you want to put yourself in so i think it's an issue that the republicans could steal if they were smart that's another issue where rand paul probably could take rand paul could be interesting because he quit his views on privacy his views on bringing the troops home and no more empire his views on stuff
9:23 pm
like drugs he's pretty good on race issues he said to mention he could steal millennial away from hillary clinton i don't think that anxious to vote for hillary or you shot as many are as how quickly the gay issue has changed in this country more americans favor same sex marriage a football player is drafted he kisses his partner on television right ok yeah how did that happen so quickly the gays insisted but it is it is amazing that it was only maybe twenty years ago that the closest thing to a gay marriage was lies in minnelli and david geffen i mean when they were married that was a gay marriage i was invited. you didn't want to say. and yet they just they just insisted and of course the other thing i think that turned it around was television you know people don't really read the news they don't pay attention to the president. that much but they do watch television and once they saw gays on
9:24 pm
television shows wow they said look at this they were like oh ok you know when it's not that weird and then of course gay marriage in a couple of states and the world didn't fall apart and they kind of got it as recently as two thousand and four bush remember put karl rove put gay marriage on the ballot in key states and just because he knew it would get every redneck to come out and while they were in the booth that of course voted for bush and those are all people who were scared that gay marriage was going to screw up their life somehow i know you are critical of organized religion you made a great movie cloverlea just city really you make them think you know that catholic church in the blue and it's attention played to can the zation team in making this john paul the second to say the same two sense to say it's the john pope john and pope john paul two well they need some good publicity you know after the and i said yes larry with a little boy you think those wow i mean that kind of fast tracked up john paul i
9:25 pm
mean he you know he got it you need to make you know you need to confirm miracles to be a saint and he got his two in five years which is you know i'm just saying the man works quickly after he's dead because that's very quick i mean others say it's taken hundreds of years but john paul the second he just rolled up his sleeves and got those miracles like really and we know that there's no afterlife i mean i know it does no one knows you know in those regions intentional or not and it i've never said i was one hundred percent sure we don't know what happens but. you know what i'm pretty sure of is that it's not the myths that were described thousands of years ago by people who knew nothing of science and which people still to their intellectual embarrassment still cleave to today i doubt it's that god had a son. you know he's this orbit perfect energy powerful beyond imagination but he's
9:26 pm
got kids i'm i'm guessing it's not that so you know we don't know where you know i watch the show cosmos it's a great show science show every week he's brilliant just know the graphs and yeah and a great explainer asses and you know they go into the first episode that they did the big bang theory which is the entire universe that's not just every planet every star or piece every galaxy was in something the size of a marble when it exploded thirteen point eight billion years ago and when you hear that you hear that everything in the universe all the planets in the star is in this and we're in something size or marble you kind of want to go. you know give me the jesus thing that's just that's even crazier but i know they're right thank you bill they're always the best of things larry is great is where he is one of the funniest and most incisive people on the planet we thank him for joining us on this edition of politicking for my viewers out there want to hear from you join the
