tv Larry King Now RT August 9, 2017 6:29pm-7:01pm EDT
6:29 pm
back to the night the president of the world bank very busy writing seriously he sent us an e-mail. the mission of newsworthy is to go to the people tell their side of the story our stories are well sourced we don't hide anything from the public and i don't think the mainstream media in this country can say. average viewer that r.t. america has a different perspective so that we're not hearing one echo chamber that mainstream media is constantly spewing. we're not beholden to any corporate sponsor no one tells us what the cover how long the coverage or how to say that's the beauty of archie america. we give both sides we hear from both sides and we question more that joining not letting anything get in your way to bring it home to the american
6:30 pm
people. on larry king now boxing champion amir i'm going to fight and we looked at a few points one of them could be money if not. the what would division in the u.s. . look amazing i mean big names in that event me to use my. i'll just call them of a muslim. pilgrimage and he is on the hunt and then a hundred put on his chain so i can't do the talking a picture of my face but. i think it's all floyd so i just kind of walk up to him he's going to make him look good make a misquote floyd's defense is amazing is what is going to hit with me think it's going to be a nice easy walk in the park for i left in great britain in the olympics i won the medal for people calling me terrorist because. that's next on larry. again now.
6:31 pm
local to larry king now are in great britain with amir king john the two time world champion professional boxer with a record of thirty one wins and four losses occluding nineteen knockouts amir is great britain's youngest olympic boxing medalist taking the silver in athens at the age of seventeen outside the reagan era has lent his star power to a variety of philanthropic causes started his own charitable organization the amir khan foundation and is slated to reenter the ring later this year for his highly anticipated first fight since may of two thousand and sixteen why so long away i had a hundred position. i had my hand in the fight and i decided to just get fixed about the one problem for the last ten years never got it fixed i always said look i'll. fix it later i always used to go to training camp and put the splints on my hand
6:32 pm
and spend extra time on you know when you do the bandages and the taping for i don't know if i said look i'm just going to mine fixed because the last thing you want to do is in a fight before walking into the ring in cuba you hund the pain didn't hurt when you hit someone it's always hurt me it always hurt me i was who i remember on my last fight i was in the mitts just to warm up so while i'm in the midst warming up i can feel i shall pain right through my hand and that's when i decided after the fight i'm going to fix it you grow up i grew up in a place called bolton it's in great my interest in the union but judy you're a passive impacts on parents from packets that you go to pakistan by i go there quite a lot two three times a year and you know with pakistan the only sports to follow now is obvious cricket been the number one sport or box and because of me and i have such a huge fun base there. and they'll love me because i'm a i'm
6:33 pm
a british pakistani living outside of pakistan who represent in pakistan the same time because they've got very little models and stuff so i think whenever i go they get treated like a superstar it's brilliant you understand cricket yeah yeah i understand it more than baseball arma baseball. i'm a baseball freak and i don't understand cricket how or were you when you realize you won a box last died box of age eight and the reason i started was because i was very hyperactive when i was young my father said you need to burn i need to burn manages away and so took me to the local box engine or i remember walking in there you know and hear the bugs been const the smell the sweat the blood the heat wow this is the place i want to be up and i never looked back since stage of eight i kept training my first fight was when i was eleven and i just kept on going from there it will not i'm well aware yemenis will sit with my near their money back they were
6:34 pm
so the way it is like it's probably one of the most interesting weight divisions in boxing because with a well if you've got speed movement you've got a power loss kill or. middle you never jumped up to middle i jumped up one time and it worked for me. going to put away on its natural you know some fi is thing that you can move up or we are not previous phase of the embroidery robinson e.o. and it succeeded world the world middleweight light directly and i so i didn't talk and sometimes about who you fire as well i had a fight and someone who was probably on the pound for pound best buys out there which was a fire in the canal of mexican here where he was and obviously i lost our fight not because he was a better boxer me but because he had more physical strength of the me that when i was hitting him i could see that he was an it was even hating him but i'm not
6:35 pm
winning on points i was here in a moving but there's only so much running a sad movie can do because one wonderland and i was out of color the building is in the field is actually is enclosed. mohammad ali was in my or m. you haven't made him a man twice. amazing man you said you say be fine on a long journey now but i met him in inviting me to use my dolly center if you have been now so you made me there and i met him he came over and you know why you upset me and it was up when you see you see when your heroes who speak it was very vocally nice to speak out and talk about his opponents and now it's sad that i can't speak in his even he didn't speak at the time and he couldn't speak because of his parkinson's disease so that kind of hurt me a little bit but the thing is about muhammad ali was a huge understood everything i was telling him on the up he understands so i told him i just got him i'm a muslim a subtle and i went to mecca i just did my pilgrimage and he took his hand and
6:36 pm
shook my hand and then he got my hand and put on his chin a psychotic i can take a picture of my fist on your chin i guess we had a great time to go and change the room how were you able to it's seventeen you go to the olympics abbasi. saying. it was because i was whoever the put in front of me at the time i was being there put me up against men and guys on my own way my own age and i'll just literally destroying them all and be in the box in them or playing them sold they had no reason but to send me because a woman seventeen i was going to be fighting men at the age of eighty two. and didn't want to send me first prince of. burden i knew i would leave them myself i could go far and seemingly they want to send me first so i had another route which was pakistan obviously not has been from pakistan so then does one team
6:37 pm
england thought where i mean it was and you said no reason of you you regret not coming to america when you were young why is because if you fight in america you become the global star. i think if i was in fact if i was it now boxing in america i don't think i'd be on the show with yourself. because you only kind isolate yourself you want to have the british fun base and the european fun because we're going to america you become that global star and i just wish maybe a little bit younger my korea should have gone there a little bit earlier i mean i i went there at the age of twenty three when i was twenty three haven't america twenty three twenty four or now i'm like thirty and i think if i had gone there a little bit younger when i was eighteen would have been just you know we you supposed to fight manny pacquiao there's a lot of talk about the fight happening and it could still happen money a frenzy train together and something i'd love to have styles make fights in boxing
6:38 pm
what we both have a vosa must balance speed power movement and that could work or you think they were is going to do against mcgregor what's going to i mean let's break the fight downs the boxing rules it's boxing rules mcgregor never had a boxing fight as a professional such as first phase up against someone who's on be in or in a mates which is floyd nearer now i don't think the other boxes chance it was m.m.a. fight then you know and if you get up and well you probably don't even know it once he knocks it down and then then it's done sore beat a box of fight i think it's all floyd floyd is going to walk right up to him is going to make him look he's in mick misconstrues defense is amazing is what is going to hit with anything it's going to be nice easy walk in the park for him if he does that a wow i mean if they're him yet but i've not seen a flood get hit with hit by bigger guys by huge door normally that would always at one point and is floyd. that all money people think you know because obviously
6:39 pm
again all these other less face per year. i think floods are already thought mayor king garner who gave the name king it was a promoter mine an old friend richard shifa and he stayed just say in a mia cain car not the press conference is kind of stuck up and people start calling me the king khan king kong president saw. us took with us i liked it i thought is quite cool so i stuck with him so part here was not going to happen are you going to fight this year yeah i'm going to fight end of the year with one hundred permission go well i'm now going to go back in the ring off you want to back out october november there's a lot of interest in a lot of location like a lot of talk about dubai had a lot of talk about you kids a lot talk about america or bullying or you fight we look at a few points one of them could be manny pacquiao if not then the what we division
6:40 pm
in the in the u.s. is look amazing i mean there's some big names in there you've got keep them in you've got study garcia you've got some big names s. so go for the big names if you're him fully ok i'm fully ok you know your training i am training you have studied i've just come off the month of ramadan saw i'm now getting back into the gym because they were the fast was so long cocky or drink anything i couldn't relief train because you know on the nala to eat or drink anything so they were literally for eighteen hours long in the u.k. then for five hours off to eat enough for five all you can only once in a year when you're out when you're on ramadan you need once a day once a bit and i only once a day and the west of the day you can't eat or drink anything or order in a while and they like eighteen hour long fasts saw this is more of a mental thing for me to know that when i need to done my way and everything and
6:41 pm
also mentally mixed. strong. it's like a fire on this on it's own way so i got the ramadan of fro the whole aroma down now i'm getting back into training hopefully after the show is ramadan help you i think it will definitely be close to god when you close to your community brings you close to your people. and your family from the all about spending time in the family and praying and doing positive things you know in the koran it tells you to do good things i mean all the stuff that we see around the world that's up to the people calling themselves muslims is not written in the koran this is not in the koran to kill innocent people thought i'm totally against our lab or what ramadan is teach english is to respect one another and appreciate and also think about the poor people because by fasting it makes you feel what the poor people feel and not mix is give to the poor give charity to the poor give food to the poor and support them we discussed earlier the macgregor mayweather thing you think there's
6:42 pm
a fair fight. on there so europe will say they were the us you were saying they were the can't lose that there was a can't lose a fight so why is this social interests that you know why this why there's so much interest in this fight is because it's not a fight between mayweather macgraw it's a fight between us see i'm boxing basically and you know like u.f.c. i like your sam i have my own you have see i am a complete called super fight league in india a best is best over there so basically i'll break it down for you now you can hunt for funds from u.f.c. you know hunt for funds on boxing didn't we sport pick the most similar sports not many boxing can only use a hundred m m a's kicking punching holding i think is this is come to a stage where people don't know which sport to pick. i'm deaf to they want the best of the best the biggest names in boxing and the biggest name in m.m.a.
6:43 pm
to face each other which. is not only winning for himself boys winning for the sport i think floyd mayweather is going to do i now think is unfair to mcgregor because it's not is or is not mean i'm sure the pitch x. going to be. is going to make you want to get in the reading after a break we'll talk a little politics with two time world champion boxer almira kong don't go away. i'm tom hartman and i'll give you what the mainstream media can't go big picture. and when you question more find what you're looking for this.
6:44 pm
will go deeper investigate and debate all so you can get the big picture i do not know if the russian state hacked into john podesta e-mails and gave them to wiki leaks but i do know barack obama's director of national intelligence has not provided credible to support his claims of russia i also know he perjured himself in a senate hearing planned three months before the revelations provided by edward snowden he denied to be n.s.a. was carrying out wholesale surveillance of the us. the hyperventilating corporate media has once again proved to be an echo of government claims that cannot be verified you would have thought they would have learned something after serving as george w. bush's useful idiots in the lead up to the invasion of iraq. it is vitally important that the press remains rooted in. fact based universe especially when we enter an era when truth and fiction are becoming indistinguishable.
6:45 pm
with the mayor getting gun groups have you with us sharing in london his adopted countries from pakistan tell me about the amir khan foundation what do you do so what they call foundation is doing is helping less fortunate people around the world i started this by helping other charities and by helping all the chinese go into different countries and africa and when the syrian are in refugees need to help even the u.k. because before we are mainland and one thing i always said to people is that shouty stuff stockholm you have to look after you local people first the local community does love people that need help in the u.k. we support for example the homeless feeding the homeless when we have in carlisle by the floods are mighty was there helping them so i thought i want to start my own foundation i want to start my own charlie company i studied. and we focus more on
6:46 pm
children and emergency disasters so why are folks more children you know little girl myself alone myself and i went to africa a couple o. years ago and i saw innocent kids who are out of north food or water the present no money. a lot of them were a lot of them were off and so i decided to build my office build my american foundation around support in the youth and often how do you make sure that the money gets them or the muscle to go there myself and make sure me and my team see everything where the money is gets spent and one thing about the charities that whoever dawn is is also allowed to come with those flyers fly to the location see where their money's been spent because a lot people might pay cherry's they might give money to charity but didn't know where the money is going to go to school in
6:47 pm
a bank can stay in the bank for long. with the mix of addition we make showed up we are very transparent we'll go there we'll take the we'll take our daughters with those sure there where their money's been spent at the same time we don't like keeping a lot of money in the bank because we want to get there who can start supporting the people straightaway well are you seeing a lot of tragedy here in london lately a lot of terrorism what do you make of it all are you concerned very concerned i think everyone has to be concerned about this situation we are in is very sad to see that innocent people are being killed innocent people i mean her last off with what happened in the fire the london fire italy or hundreds of people people supposedly lot people these fellows know the exact number one hundred people plus away in the apartment when the lit on fire i went to visit the place a lot people said to me look we push you come in but i mean we need and says. i only went there to show most specs people are asking me why are you not given as
6:48 pm
the answer to your north for example why did why did it little light so quickly within minutes it was all on fire within i think eight minutes then he said to me we want you to ask the question where why were the ambulances on time. so these are question people ask me all the said they want to get to him too because i didn't know much about what happened i just want to go to show my respect and kind of show people that people like myself are here to support it then you had the london eye bridge attack where. some people were over there in a car terrorists you can call them kill innocent people winning over them which i am totally against and then you see all that terrorist attacks happening it's just like so it's a very sad time for british muslims and british people because these people who are going out there calling themselves muslims killing innocent people are not muslims it is a say in the koran which is the bible reese like a bible which is
6:49 pm
a book that we follow in order to kill the innocent people so i just think that whoever is doing this in all muslims i don't call them muslims what do you how do you feel being a muslim but the anti muslim feeling even the president ited states as expects us to degree of anger at muslim activity i mean you feel there is an anti muslim feeling in the world there is there is an. you know a new os i it does put the fear in you of the may my daughter is going to grow up one day and never want her to walk on the street and people calling her a terrorist i mean it's even happened to me on social media i'm more british than anyone i love playing great britain in the olympics i want to medal for graber and people calling me terrorists because i'm a muslim and you know it's a vote of time that we're living through at the moment but one has to happen is all the communities need to get together all the muslim communities get together i mean it's send a message across the world the muslims we are all against terrorism or no white men
6:50 pm
though and things very attack muslims that didn't get the attention we said to you i mean it did come yeah i mean it does upset you because stuff is i came to london i was invited to london to do some interviews about that and. seems to me that now what's going to happen is just going back and forth the the white man and did the attack in the very last was in my opinion doing it as an act of revenge and just to say you're looking our innocent people we can do the same thing and this is where it's just going to force all apart we all have to stick together we have to stop all this stuff from happening because the people who are being hurt by this are innocent people and we are also freeing so we definitely stick together as a community and stop all these supreme court new united states they partially allowed travel ban. you can you can go if you have relatives of ever job
6:51 pm
but if you don't have any of those this kind of a stay and i'm going to get a whole case in october what do you make of them are still bad apostle vanya. i'm an architect is a story about myself i see i still train in america travel to america quite often and i just always get pulled over because of my name pops up a the the terrorist need obviously airport all the time customs and these recognize me and they know who i was and look i'm here we apologize but we have to do what system tells us. and i had to just it kept happening and happening and i was you know after a long flight after a long thirteen hour flight you're still can epifanio the two three hours it does take a lie you saw i met hillary clinton when i was in washington i was invited to an event there and i told her and she got she she said look give me your details and let me strike to help you can you send his email will clarify you as you know
6:52 pm
you're a safe person to travel now by putting this ban on i think is only going to make so many people get frustrated frustrate so many people from clinton america i mean i don't know much about i just think it's libya is sad to see that people are not a load special muslims abandoned from going to america because. there's so many of us over there also have families and we have friends ever i go there to train now and then when there are never want to come across a day where they said to me sorry mr khan you can come to america because you muslim me so much because my training is that the star as well domingo what do you think of president trump. i mean he. he is very vocal. and he can ask me i liked obama but i thought he was amazing i think why does america was amazing. you know easy you know but look at the day whoever's going to go in power is going to try to make the country
6:53 pm
try to make the country safe and i want to go i mean that's what we want we can have people like donald trump saying to people that sent to muslims you get it done from coming to america need to be neutral you need to be neutral and he needs to be . be neutral basically if you play a little game of of you only knew i just also question what's your proudest accomplishment winning a world title best piece of advice you ever got are always train hard never give up even when you lose a fight they were city the fight in las vegas city you'd like to fight them by favorite thing to do on a day off i feel to relax and watch telly. funniest phantom counter. people chasing me down the street just for picture or just for hogan getting numerous kisses in front my wife and do people like to say this i barley did do
6:54 pm
that a lot people exactly let's let's have a little fellas and then why one way and went away if i say yes let's do it and then back off for yeah yeah we got up and biggest risk ever took. go in up against a firing canelo when i fire up two week at least if i average you admire most outside of boxing. like steph curry abed first thing you miss most about great britain when you're not there the weather there in not like about it. with my family with my family being repaired i know i'm also a kind of missed the community the area surrounding you can is little different where we go in the world including you are very comfortable and great very comfortable here was the thing you miss most when you're not there. mom's cooking a soup favorite thing about america. the big wide streets and there is
6:55 pm
so many different. people i mean from different parts of the world in one country and also the boxing training over there is probably one the best ever you can you can get toughest fight you ever had toughest fight against marcos maidana i did it begin the trenches and the very to fight it was the way it would have hurt the most yeah probably was yeah obviously i was more feeble i still went to and when the fire if you want to box or would be only stuck and stuck in a shelf in a supermarket or something now that a bit i know that dreams of doing something big in life i don't know you could switch places with someone for one day who would it be. you don't have to answer. ok on my on the hour we have some social media questions
6:56 pm
that's jerry one on twitter of the fight you lost who would you like to have a rematch with a donny garcia as if i had like a rematch with because of the fire i should have won the fight i kind of give away myself a winning the fight and if it's made me realize that losing focus for one second and change i totally and that's why. you can never lose focus you can have this focus add me or someone on twitter where you see yourself in five years five years i see myself do more chary work really be retired from boxing looking after my family and just enjoying life john c. on the larry king now blog how do you handle pain in the ring is the adrenaline running so high that going to block it out of so when you're in the rain you know feel pain you know if you're knocked out even if you get hit with a big shot you know feel pain you might watch on television thing. or we never feel
6:57 pm
pain i think in the future the adrenaline wishing for your body as mohammed ali's on me was the only dummy of a thaw pain was the henry carter from great britain and recoup and recoup of enery cooper hit him. not. in great britain and he felt that way because i had hurt yeah and then he and it happens i mean sometimes in the fight when you hit so hard you feel the pain even then take it take toll so yeah to happen sometimes and i think i do remember that watching him documentary he mentioned that he got hit so hard in the corner when his coach. kind of was it something. quick before enough to make you feel so he got some extra time. great places. to see and it's a big thanks to my guest some may have come from or information i'll be
6:58 pm
