everyone in the world should experience flu go and you'll get it on the your role in. the world according to jeff. beck of mad world cup i am sure there are. a batch or sudden passing i've only just learned you were a south and taken your last wrong turn. you're out caught up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our archives and i secretly promised to never again like it said one does not leave a funeral in the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one
11:31 pm
quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its make. your watching an artsy america special report when they allowed him to spank she was made as well enough but basically everything that you think you know about civil society have broken down. there's always going to be somebody else one step ahead of the game. we should not be in business of normalising violence. we don't need people that think like this on our planet. this is an incredibly true situation. on the other juvenile boy newsgroups incision volleyed it's authenticity me just being myself one social media. i feel like a lot of kids are fighting relational. that. their president play what's it like
11:32 pm
for you being famous so. i got to suppress myself from my childhood. all through high school without being famous the moment i graduated is when things came. super well for myself on top of the great deal about. you you have. i've loved. everything happened so fast especially with social media i fell in love definitely falling out of love plus joy to meet with president and. no desire. that at all next on larry king. king now our guests today is singer songwriter colleague at only nineteen years old
11:33 pm
el paso texas native has taken the musical world by storm in two thousand and seventeen with hit singles location and young dumb and broke colleagues album american teen debuted in march and has remained in the billboard top ten for an incredible six months straight he joins me fresh off his best new artist victory at the twenty seventeen m.t.v. video music awards congratulations lady so much i appreciate that were you shocked oh yeah i was so crazy thinking about. being so young and having this much happen to me so fast it's insane i'll just celebrate. my time of my best friends so the really cool was it like for you being. famous so
11:34 pm
young that couldn't that that's not always the best thing to do much too soon oh yeah for me luckily i feel like i got to express myself in my childhood and have my own childhood you know i went all through high school without being famous the moment i graduated when things kind of came alive so i'm handling it super well for myself i think we were always singing in childhood oh yeah i always saying because my mom sings she actually saying in the army and she kind of inspired me to join choir and do musicals and all of that i was probably the friend that everyone would tell because i was singing way too much as your parents were both in the service yeah both my parents are in the army and they both actually retired so i'm happy for them did you travel up and yet so i actually lived in germany for six years i lived in northern europe for four born in georgia and then i moved topass and that's kind of when everything happened for me go through high school no yeah so i
11:35 pm
actually spent my senior year in el paso and for me it was a culture shock because living in new york at the climate everything's different going to not knowing anybody was very nerve wracking but luckily that loneliness allowed me to find my own sense of creativity and i started making music very cross the border for morris yeah you go in dora's with. my friends. and your albums been on the billboard top ten for six straight months yet why do you think that is what's at stake. i feel like it's the authenticity of me just being myself on social media throughout my music i feel like a lot of kids are finding relation with that and their present play i'm glad they're presently i'm glad they're buying it because i mean six months is a long time was crazy in august of this year a vocal group about. american teen said he covers common ground meditating on
11:36 pm
loneliness loss and love is an obvious generational influence in his music as he mentions sub tweets living with his parents passing out in overrides what his message is clear he's it's an unwavering ode to the teenage years their triumphs their confusions and above all their heartbreak is sad. it's pretty sad i feel like there's definitely highlights where happiness kind of breaks through but the sad the album for me was definitely about self acceptance and so going through that process i was i was pretty sad i got through it and the end of the album kind of shows that it was that hard to be so personal it was hard but i realized it was for a better cause and for me i make music to try to help other people and luckily the impact has helped so many individuals that come up to me i mean greta just tell me this is how most music means to them so it keeps me going i still writing songs oh yeah i'm still i'm always writing i'm not always recording is writing. and i can't
11:37 pm
wait until i get to advance especially my writing style like i'm all about evolution so hopefully the music evolved to describe it as a rhythm and blues as for me feel like it's a mixture of rhythm and blues pop i love the eighty's i love the ninety's of that there's kind of retro twains in the album too. but is definitely a sofa is there one song as most importantly you are an american teen yes for me it's angels which is the last track on the album i actually wrote that to kind of show love and dedication to my own personal guardian angels that my mom my friends and every time i perform that song that's always the most emotional song for me to sing just because of how much it means to be closer to your mother than your father or mother or father passed away my mom is definitely how to me down a lot i mean for some time we had to be you know a family with
11:38 pm
a single mother and it was it was a little hard of a stepfather yeah i was the phone that he was in the army yet. i mean i love my mom you talk a great deal about love and the album yet you're nineteen. you haven't been in love . puppy love i've i've loved shows no age like i've been in love i've been out of love maybe nineteen. nineteen year olds fall in love like everything happened so fast as social media i fell in love but i've definitely fallen out of love and i'm not in love right now. i got a kid eighteen he texted a girl for six months they never met and crazy ok. by the way the current single young dumb and broke is rising on the charts are you writing about yourself i was writing about my past. self well young woman you are broke.
11:39 pm
so you don't feel this right now i feel like for me that song is about taking negative connotations about myself and being like you know what this is who i am you know. i'm broke but i still have so much love to you how do you make of the person what was your break for me i feel like it was location the moment it ever location and the moment. a couple of influences found the song played on social media and snap chat kind of took me to the next level and so i'm proud and i'm glad it kind of took me out of the label how to get a label for me i feel like i got so many offers for me to pick it definitely had to be a label that supported my vision and my dreams what is the label are not that yeah it's a good label. you recently said you're focusing primarily on collaboration who you're going with so i'm trying to work with so many people right now i've been talking to
11:40 pm
friend of mine black. money from for the harmony hopefully we get to do something sometime soon for me i love to work with my friends so if i meet someone and we have chemistry connection i love getting in the studio because i mean you get to hear the connection to the music who had dion to work with so many people tends to be super cool cancer tomorrow i mean there's so many amazing rappers and singers out right now you are in. i'm a singer so how could you work with chance because i feel like the balance between so and rap is there's a mix and i feel like both of us kind of have the the sauce to kind of mix it up a little this i think would be awesome he joined forces with logic. for the song call one eight hundred two seven three eight two five five if you have a hip talk about the topic of suicide prevention and mental health. why.
11:41 pm
the issue for me i feel like i wrote my of my part of the song logic actually contacted me about the song in the moment that he did it was a yes for me because i feel like being young being an influence and being an advocate for mental illness and mental health is necessary to use my platform to help other kids you have in your own family have use my friends you know i've dealt with a lot of friends who have had trouble who have always been there for but for me i feel like the closest way to be there for majority of the people is to music and so being able to help people cope with mental illness mental health is something that i love to do you want to make a difference rooyen what drives you what drives me i feel like the motivation from my friends most definitely all of them all of the music that i create i think it's all my friends even if it's sad to say my friends going through something hard ice in the music and if they told me that they're affected by it and that means that it's a great song from your friends or no person i have friends in el paso actually my
11:42 pm
best friend is here with me in l.a. to see if he came from el paso where do you live i live in l.a. and i go back and forth back and forth with your mother and my mom still know. how do they do you step father and mother feel about your success my mom super proud of me because i'm kind of living out my mom's dream my dad super supportive as well but for me you know being able to sing every day and do something that my mom wants to do means a lot to me so i'm so glad of all the accomplishments that i'm making so for a political issue you recently spoke about was the decision on dark yet the dreamers deferred action for childhood arrivals or just think of that decision i think that the decision that was going to impact a lot of people negatively i have so many friends in el paso who you know who are at risk you must know a lot of course. you know i have so many friends who risk and i feel for them and
11:43 pm
you know it's sad it's saddening because of everything that's been happening discrimination all of that is just it's so unnecessary and i mean i'm upset about it especially living you know. what do you make of the current state of politics. current state of politics i definitely don't like it and i feel like it's absurd the youth me as an individual to speak against and make a change so that eventually we get to get out of this state right now would you like to meet with president trump no. no desire no. not at all do you do concerts do i do concerts yes i do causes travel all over have you been out of the country too yet i have i'm actually going to europe at the end of this month with lloyd as i'm super excited about and i mean it's super cool singing a song you know american teen for people who aren't necessarily american who know
11:44 pm
every single word i think and she's got a. massive she's also going to open for her yeah i'm opening for nineteen after break walk away expect police upcoming world tour with lord plus will jump into the if you only knew hot seat album is a member of didn't seem to stay with us. in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around. preparation washington. voters elected to run this country business because. it's not business as you know it's business like it's never been done before.
11:45 pm
i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories that our critics can't tell and you know why because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth parties able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there to the american what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical chills people when a company in the environmental business ends up polluting a river that causes cancer and other illnesses they put all the health risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every week and you know what they're working. you guys i made a professional is powerpoint to show you how artsy america fits into the greater media landscape is not all laughter all right but we are
11:46 pm
a solid alternative to the bullshit that we don't skew liberal or conservative and as you can see his bar graph we don't skew the facts either the talking head lefties talking at righties oh there you go above it all to look at world artsy americans in the spotlight now every glee i have no idea how to classify it as and it actually took me way more time than i care to admit i do not know if the russian state hacked into john podesta scheme ailes 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 need to. has once again proved to be an ethical government claims that. you would have thought they would have learned something after serving as george w.
11:47 pm
bush's useful idiots in the lead up to iraq. but the press remains rooted in a fact based universe especially when we enter an era when truth and fiction are becoming interesting. but it was co-leader you were a military brat like phones in a room right it was fun i mean spinning like your stepfather your real father my stepfather my mom so your father died when you were young yet when i was younger and when i was in the second grade you divorced or my parents were divorced divorced from the happening for me i mean being a military child was so much fun because i got to grow up overseas i spent six years in germany it was a time of my life that's why but that's where i met a lot of my best friends and then need to move past the woods and changing my life
11:48 pm

the mission of news with it 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 that any average viewer knows 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 to cover how long the coverage or how to say it that's the beauty of archie america. we hear both sides we hear from both sides and we question more
