to follow the falling i'm going to lose the east i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. how far will trump bashing take the democrats this fall and how they underestimating the amount of support for him within the electorate that's where we'll begin on this edition of. the politicking on larry king it is generally assumed by political experts that the democratic party's going to make a lot of gains this fall in the house of representatives headlines and graphics trump in a blue wave hitting capitol hill in the upcoming midterms there are those headlines a little premature and is the democratic party were lying too heavily on ads from son of and among the voters and still lacking

a message that goes beyond bashing trump my first guest says yes and he's warned his fellow democrats about that in a recent opinion piece in the san francisco chronicle. he's willie brown one of the great politicians ever in this country democrat of california he served as speaker of the california state assembly and was the forty first mayor of san francisco and he joins me from that beautiful city right. you said it's time for democrats to stop bashing donald trump why he seems so bashful well that and it's almost natural that's what you want to do but you could become awfully lazy and ultimately not victorious if you stay only what the bastion i think you have to call him out when it's appropriate to so do i think you have to nail him and that gives you lots of he gives you lots of opportunities but i think you have to address the needs of

the american people whom hillary clinton did not address when she sought the presidency if we're going to win this time around congressman al green a democrat of texas recently told c.-span there's a good likelihood that articles of impeachment will be brought against president trump if democrats win the house is that wrong just do that to say that no not at all but you've got to be very careful to make sure you say don't rely upon my being women to vote impeachment every democrat practically would be willing to do that what you ought to rely upon is my ability to get your home in san francisco that you can't afford a my ability to get a teacher a salary that's equal to a firefighters or to a policeman or to a health care worker at the highest level people understand that help them figure out how to pay their mortgage how to pay their rent and how to pay for their kids

to go to college with these outrageous fees clearly all of those things are still with you whether you impeach drop or not. do you think down president a win control of the house i think democrats have a great shot at winning in control of the house my comment in my column last sunday was clearly designed to awaken democrats to the fact that they have five or six more months to really market democrats really market candidates and believe me in this day and age it's not so much a party that people up embrace and in my opinion larry it's candidates we need quality candidates we want in alabama with jones because of that horrible fella name or that the republicans put in place we won in several other places the same way in georgia a black woman just got the nomination for the governorship of that state

unprecedented in this nation literally for a black woman to be nominated for governor whether or not she whens i don't know but the agenda that she ran was an alternative agenda every democratic candidate or to figure out what his or her alternative agenda can be and we can when you've written a democrat since a quote need to look like the adults not like the pack of screaming kids on the playground i mean you think members of the party have been acting that way well i think many members of the party have been so outraged about trump and trump's conduct that they just can't get away from lead in the world know how offended they are is that an world animal well it may or may not be you sometimes voters don't pay as much attention as they need to as evidenced by the fact that in pennsylvania trump beat hillary and michigan show beat hillary and it was because

people didn't really pay attention the message didn't get their attention the candidate did. to get their attention we need candidates who gets the attention of the voters and cause the intensity of those voters to be expressed on election day not just at some rally when we're doing it about the split in your party willing progressive wing of the establishment wing can that be healed before twenty twenty i think this party needs one more unit and that one more unit is somebody who can speak to both of those sides larry we're in bad shape when we get distracted by an argument between elizabeth warren and somebody in the democratic party on the establishment side we got in bad shape when we don't embrace somebody like dianne feinstein who's running for reelection and we find

a way not to do that as a democratic party that's counter productive we ought to be about running an agenda that gives each of us the opportunity to participate and we are except that when somebody represents a better opportunity to when we are united behind them and we ought to be an adult about that they're not enough out also and the democratic party echoing those words if you were in the house of representatives and your party gains control would you vote to have nancy pelosi come back as speaker. that's a policy is saying laid the best things democrats have she's not a lefty she is not a right he she is a person that operates to elect democrats that's her role she does not get so burdened when all these policy options that she becomes offensive to

democrats she literally says less of a lack of folk and then let the folk be the expressions of what we do as a party and as a group of people nancy pelosi would be my candidate and i tell you i think i would be helpful and getting nancy pelosi elected you're mayor of san francisco and rudy giuliani was mayor of new york so i gather you would together with mayors conferences which mayors meet every year what's your thought on his current role as mr trump's personal lawyer he has literally frankly embarrassed those of us who are part of a wonderful operation in this country in the late ninety's that ran cities. giuliani and willie brown was on the cover of newsweek as the two outstanding mayors if you recall i was interviewed on one of your programs on this same subject

and at that time giuliani was doing the job that mayors do and he was doing it with the plum clearly but at this moment i have no idea larry what his drive and giuliani he's not even doing a good job in my opinion representing a client who looks guilty it seems to me you really need to go back and figure out where all that talent has been clustered and try to get that talent to come back that made him a good mayor when he served in new york do you think the stormy daniels thing in the robert mode investigation is going to bring trump down i believe that robert marlin could very well be the single most important person that this nation as the cleanse us of all the kind of bad things that president trump represents i if i'm from i would fear me more than i fear anything anybody else

milla as a talented human being he is a principled human being he is a fearless human being at no point will he make any concession to trump that's inconsistent with what the facts and the law supports for trump that's dangerous everybody seems to agree to jerry brown's been a great governor you recently suggested that he might make a possible twenty twenty presidential candidate do you think he do that. i think jerry brown if he was called upon i don't think he would ever do it on his own i think we would have to reach out and ask him to come rescue us and he would represent someone who neither side of this party that's at war with in itself a democrats that he has that said war within themselves would be able to challenge

whether or not jerry brown knows what he's doing can do it and has done it believe me i served with jerry brown i was the only elected official that endorsed him for his first statewide office back in the one nine hundred seventy s. when he ran for secretary of state i have been a jerry brown admire him for a long time this guy has skills and ability and age is not even relevant where he is concerned he is as sharp and as the fission and as enthusiastic and as energy driven now as he was then he's also very courageous when it comes to pushing policies which republicans have real trouble dealing with jerry brown because he out performs them on many things they care about and he's able to sell it to their voters better than they can that's jerry brown and that's why i want him as a candidate what do you think of the idea of las america garces me running for

president i think. eric garcetti kummel harris gavin newsome we've got three super potential candidates each of them in my opinion will be ready for the nomination by the time two thousand and twenty comes around but i don't know whether or not they will go but eric garcetti if i had gavin newsome i'd be happy he didn't run for governor he would have been a formidable opponent for newsom says there is willie you go owes a great leader you brought people together you work well with members of the other party what happened why why do we have such a divide in our country well i think it's because we have been indifferent to people's real needs we have been committed to a process rather than product in the old days the franklin roosevelt days

the harry truman days you had to produce something to keep people interested in your candidate say we democrats began back in the seventy's and eighty's to fold in to this whole business of do in theory do one process around that very own me when bill clinton came along that we began to think of product but we even criticize clinton for producing product that was more luck what gingrich was recommending on things like welfare than what democrats theoretically were for we should have been progress. would taken care of poor people you better figure out how to package it so everybody shares and the benefits from the humanity that comes with doing that we didn't do that larry and we have not done that and the results

are that we have again for now literally failed. well me i always love talking to you don't we do it again soon great to see a look in so well all right larry nice to talk with you to our social media sites like facebook and twitter censoring conservatives brant bozell head of the media research center says they are and that he has proof and he joins me after the break stay right there was politicking right after this.

played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside i. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each of killian erroneous and spending thirty to twenty million a bomb fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i

think of what i know about the beautiful guy a great so will transfer. the case it's going to. up. the back of politicking we've heard of the russian troll farms and other groups stoking divisions among americans via social platforms that is there also a current senate effort by sites like facebook and twitter to censor conservative

posts and opinions that's a claim by a group of noted conservative writers and voices and they've recently teamed up to demand change brant bozell is the founder of the group he's president of the media research center in the city good cause. we recently spoke to him about his group's claims abayas on social media here is that interview watch brand you claim that the social media and tech companies exhibit a bias against conservatives can you give us some examples. yeah i do there's been an awful lot of complaints that have been coming in the last year specifically from conservative organizations across the dial complaining about this and sometimes larry you know you you listen to them and and you know they're not exactly accurate they don't understand the algorithms they might not have good material and the like but other things that you listen to you know have

a basis in truth so we decided to investigate twenty eight different claims and we drill down quite deeply and all twenty eight of them the know the numbers are telling in five cases we found that they didn't have merit at all in nine cases we found out we called them questionable for example facebook took down a post of a conservative organization that conservative organization complained and then the post went back up was it a function of bias were they taken it down was it a technical glitch you don't know so we put that under their technical and then we found fourteen cases fourteen complaints that absolutely did have merit so fifty percent of them absolutely had merit and it's very very troubling it's things such as facebook taking down conservative things as trending but putting up things that

was that weren't trending as trending it's things like twitter being caught on camera on hidden camera where you've got twitter people talking about and gleefully boasting about shadow banning conservatives eve got groups that are are role lying on left this organizations like the southern poverty law center to decide what the word hate is and they are groups that have labeled christian groups as haters which christian groups have then been taken off websites all right this is the kind of stuff that's going on and it's troublesome do you want the googles in the facebook to put on everything. no no i don't think you can scream fire nl in a movie theater i think it's perfectly acceptable to take down and to refuse to allow something that advocates terrorism i think it's perfectly acceptable to take down something down that that is going to involve trial for not pornography but

don't have to be the extremes if you treat the rest of it i think one of the four points that we've made larry is is is rely on the on the first amendment it's pretty darn good document and it were it's kind of worked for about four four since the beginning of this republic apply the same principles to so social media and you should be ok you don't want them to take down the southern poverty law center you just don't want things that the southern poverty law that you may be critical of the southern poverty law center to be taken down. you know we have what we're best for it's four things one is clarity explain what you mean by that word hatred you know the hit word hatreds is very very broad and i gave you examples of how it is misappropriated they've got to explain what the terminology is the second one is transparency all these problems would would be i think they would be

resolved if we knew what the process was and we don't you just hear about these things occurring and after the fact you might hear some specifics be more transparent about the process and then the third one the fourth one was the free speech condition but the third one is that conservatives need to have not to see that the table but in equal seating at the table so if you're going to have a southern poverty law center whatever the heck is its opposite on the right you should have that as well if you have it but i've argued to the mark zuckerberg so that. any of. the book or the other interested presidents. on thank you for that were conducted. thank you for this question that we kept that he gave us is to be used and about to work as i said i believe in good relations between our countries but yesterday we

had a long conversation and i want to tragic the task we were talking about the political situation as well as economic sphere that has been socially proceeding new to our relationship with first you promise this is you know the joint projects and personal connection to the security this is one of the nights our nations when i was going to simply say i did everything in my power and if you are still within the mandate that i had to you know to provide more impetus years to relations to put you don't we can free so you think and. to find its second life and it would be impossible without the history you put into the individual to motivate you to do this and i would like to explain my ability my reasoning behind it to the satisfaction satisfaction years and a fact that throughout this time especially when russia entered recession in two thousand and nine two thousand and ten you know the french part of the french and

the prizes if you stayed in russia and if we take a look ten years back up was not a single french enterprise has left the russian market for me it's a very strong passage especially in hard times entrepreneurs large with the corporations financial partners you from france stayed in russia they continue to make their contribution to the development of economics if we're going to fix the good will be only through your you will suffer so much in the source of the money motivations that are your always is the fact that now we're french and her presence today has a highway in about one hundred seventy thousand free and russian citizens this is they already knew and they did it from in there were a number one song even more in foreign direct investments for russia to me but through what they could actually not the first one where i didn't play second because you are the mayor has said the germans are ranked number one but give it two more they all but you could use so indeed i'm motivated to use the machine for

this is at the top will be to move from the second place to the first ones especially when the tide is turning. and situation is improving them down i believe that we should not be satisfied with the result that we have achieved and doing more we can do better as for jobs as for investments i'm completely positive about that would be the last thing that i wanted to mention that those partnerships in the. russian white well in the energy. industry in financial fear you understood to be if it does reach the your head which is here with all those. enterprises which which are actively taking part is strictly in russian market together with russian investors in france. and i would love it if we could consolidate this work this partnership yesterday but we have signed a lot of weekly minutes in this regard and that shows our historic ties and today's dynamic in our relations don't let go of the more deliberate commute i would like

us to show you commitment on top doc and strive to moving on to feel for example in industry we could achieve so much more of this and we should strive the more. we have great relations in the next hour to hour with this space here for example this is huge for us this is very important for us you were talking about the cool cars went wrong we can also move on to you don't do feel everything else you've got to move on you to. do you know this goes for the sustainable green city as well we're going to get one of the innovations at noon the energy sectors of the event alternative energies renewable energy. home and digital industry has consistently placed on the difficult although we can also choose of better results. if you did a little bit of project there are many factors here anything here but when you listen. to the media the real production process is green or this is there's not obviously majoring need of the innovation we have a lot of the digital industry and you know france which eric very well represented

the russian market to continue several years ago i was talking about french tatted people who work in russia and we should like to forward in this regard so it's going to should please be more active in this is here and i'm very happy that we have signed yesterday's scripted agreements into shouldn't be good work on improving cross investments you know this process and to go for the sovereign serve this is part of the financial seventy five euro for the levy. point to achieve our . strategical. we need to have our independent financing for this project and for this strategy is usually. because of we need to separate certain areas from geopolitical tensions from there to political load and we work on that with our partners from the e.u. we have done a lot and we want to move further we seek to. achieve european serenity

if you give a little bit remark and for that we need to start with independence and serenity when it comes to finance we want to have more start ups semi's that is going to be here is a little bit wanted to visit the region we just didn't know what it is this companies are developing their markets but they need financial stability those are just the few remarks i wanted to present a believe in our relationship and i believe that our bill at rotation ships have a great future ahead of. the vision. of europe that it which i have. tells me that europa spans from the atlantic to the euro should really be before i believe in our relationships i believe that of course quite a positive dynamics thank you for your attention thank you. very much the books but ladies and gentlemen this and i would like to give the

thought to that amir put in no more fortunately all i'm not sure it was a mistake in their interpretation but europe spends from this a bunch of us talk for us. you don't know this because that well i missed my opportunity to say that you banned it that i wanted to start with that you have stolen my words. but i just looked at your book what are they good for and i would like to think mr president. much will work for you but for find you cannot but unity to come to to russia. day here to st petersburg russia but yesterday we had a very detailed talks when it comes to internet international agenda and electoral agenda the discussion was frank and very open as well as useful france without traditional partner long term partner and a very reliable partner at that which you are and why reliable why do i mention that at all. is because france always had its own position when it came to

international agenda and it always seeks to defend its serenity and we highly value that nowadays it is very important and very much appreciated because this is the precondition for stability in the relationships on the global arena. between states or interest canonic relationships stability is first and foremost. we develop our relationships with france progressively. sixteen point five percent that's the growth of our trade turnover last year and this quarter that's plus twenty five percent but as for investment there are fifteen billion in foreign direct investment and as for russian investment that's two and a half around three but french investment is not enough to not have to disappoint the man and germany doesn't take the first sport china holds the first spot when it

comes to investment and trade turnover our trade with china is around eight hundred fifty billion dollars. what. how much were you know yeah eight point six billion i'm sorry that was a mistake. and with the european union we had four hundred fifty billion dollars but eat was it has four then almost two for. but with china we see growth sustainable growth and we were reach one hundred billion soon i'm sorry that was. my mistake my bad as for investment how much ford has invested in a foursome i'm sorry for it to the finish company. of shoot some six billion just one finnish company. and the whole of friends only fifteen

million is that normal. not really. that is true. and i would like to draw your attention to the fact that i recalled this before ten company this is the finnish energy company we have allowed them access. to the most sensitive areas in siberia including those objects that belong to the nuclear cycle so russian economy is very open to our partners and highlight of my hope because regardless of all that turbulence currently observed. we have managed to achieve micro economic stability and that is very important for invested we've been continuously working on targeting inflation and we have managed to do that just last year they.
