2:30 am
ns and i just started on c.n.n. and i had written like 12 books at the time so he says i guess he meant that i had there was nothing there i created a vacuum and then filled an idea that they all left perhaps he was getting at the idea that you change formats just when formats are getting going like for instance obviously cable television new zealand satellite is so much of. of life is timing and luck what right turn left turn if you went out here we made bad move and didn't make that move and so i was there at the right at the right time anyway so then along came national radio which was unheard of there was no network national talk show and the mutual broadcasting system the owner of a like my work is another thing we have to like you this is very subjective business so they like me and i got a national radio talk show and then ted turner used to be on that show and he liked
2:31 am
me and he had an opening and he called and that led to c.n.n. and that lasted. 25 and a half years at the same time on the same network which set a record and then when i came to an end i really thought i could retire and then artie came along do you think all these different formats are going to influence the 2016 presidential race they already have. the social network helped elect barack obama which was the 2 greatest campaigns ever in american history or obama's campaign that he hadn't won the 2nd time before it even started because of the social networks and the way they think that they did it around the country they had networks of people young people working hard in all cities and even after the 1st debate which romney had won i had a republican insider tell me. kimmel mean he said you know the race is over and i
2:32 am
said yeah romney was very effective as obama's one already they knew already so social network the whole rigamarole donald trump i mean series adam we just had him on politics i mean only seen as a real politic guy or serving we do my wife and i do a podcast or what do you think and it was one event like i was his 1st pod cast and he's going to be on larry king now in november on larry king politicking donald's an old friend we go back a long way he said the more things about mexicans donald is donald i disagree completely with that statement but it forced him ahead and donald is what he is you know he's he has an incredible ego. and it's not surprising anyone you know. donna was a kind of guy who was his wife one night said god it's cold and he said for me doll . no but donald trump is i don't think it's
2:33 am
going to last but he has certainly said you know i started ross perot back in 1992 which was incredible page american probably they say going to i'm comfortable which is a way inadvertently said he was running for president so what happened was i kept i asked them early in the show but he will because he been outspoken about some public things and he was a very famous businessman and he said no this was all instinct right nearly embellisher all i said was asked was are there any circumstances by which you would run any anything and he said well if they put me on the ballot in all 50 states. you got to put me on about an offer to say as an independent and as we will leaving he says you think this is going to go i said this is i think it's really or and he called me a week later when it started to boom and c.b.s.
2:34 am
started covering it me came on my show so many times when he went back to his hotel room the bellman gave him a $10.00 contribution to this campaign and he said boy that you know he didn't need the $10.00 but is able to sign a simple i mean one of the almost 20 percent of the world you can get it you can get quite angry when a guest is on the phobic racist that always i always wonder i mean you do that you call those moral issues that is wrong or a class a moral issue i can't help myself in a moral issue so if it's racism i could not step back when someone for some interviewed governor wallace of alabama he changed later on he went completely 180 degrees but he was like you know. he came in it was like i don't see any blacks here at the station i bet i said well they own the
2:35 am
station or up to lunch. and so on that issue the race issue and on the issue of the holocaust awkward in a job he drove me nuts. he he drove me up for i really had i liked him it was something about of that was likable but his opinions. so we're discussing israel of course and there's all these arabian guys around and. i said to him well what is your gripe against israel he said well israel should be in poland because that's where the crimes occurred the crimes that the germans committed did not occur in the middle east so why didn't they take a big part of poland and make that israel rather than put israel in the middle east . and i shit well i'm ok you got
2:36 am
a point we can discuss that is the lamprey book and many said and if there was a how it forced and i stopped if i said i wouldn't get off it so he kept trying to go on one other thing and i kept saying if there was our personal and it drove me nuts so those kind of things you go over the line but all my life i would say 98 percent of the interviews i've done you didn't know what i thought welfare and issues are going to be in the 2016 campaign because you yourself. when i was told yours were innocent of a tax credit it will britain big issue it will be a part of an issue of of. where you focus your energy in a budget and the republican side of it is that we should have we should to our 1st concern to be about defense and the democratic side is the 1st concern should be about health and welfare and they clash over that eventually what happens is as
2:37 am
lyndon johnson one said you have to give a little on both sides so the defense side you can spend billions is spend a little less than that to give and take that's what it is the best argument i ever heard for the social side of the question was mariel home of the lake mary home of was a dear friend he was the 1st guest on c.n.n. . i counted him just one of the great benefit of unknown. and i said give me the difference in your philosophy and this could well work in britain too with your new head of the labor your philosophy versus your opponent's philosophy with it and he's all ok i'll put it down in human terms and think of this image human terms is a lot of crime in the neighborhood. and this plainly of for man a woman son the daughter they need
2:38 am
a new lock on the door and the law was 25 years you've got to get the law it's crime going to get a lot. the daughter. has a severe flu and he's got to get medication in the medication plus the same as the law. anybody. else crime what he. said i by the way. so on that simple question about. how i knew from a person was when my father died we were on we call it relief. now it's called welfare but we got the new york city bought my 1st pair of lessons they paid our rent for 3 years was one mother i was 9 to have my brother was 6 of them have he
2:39 am
couldn't work. i knew what it was like to see an inspector come to the house to see what kind of meat my mother was buying he would open the refrigerator the ice box open the ice box and see what what are you buying fried meat she would spend more and priming and spend less on herself so i remember those days and we didn't like them but we appreciated them. i appreciate that new york city came through for me. you mentioned defense versus versus welfare did have a feeling these thousands of individuals with politicians that you were interviewing puppets with a good intention and it was k. street the big lobbyist some of the maybe the defense companies that are behind it all and you were just the public masses of there in k. street and you're talking to the puppets yeah i don't look good you're looking at motives. i don't try to. the people aren't
2:40 am
a charade i knew them the lobbyists they said we're lobbying for a good cause you know we you need that extra ship you need that destroyer because they come from that place they may be getting paid for it but i never i never tried to insinuate that there was a motive behind their operator i believe their believes are what they are as i don't question a person stands up and says what they believe i don't question i question them but i don't question that they don't believe what they're saying going to them and all in all cases. well. i'm not there to find out the wire. if i know it's a lie i'm going to go in and investigate it but i don't. i'm not right all the time you know i don't you know something we're to russell the great
2:41 am
philosopher nobel prize winner when he was 95 years old he was the inner so national more you know and he said the only thing i know is that. i don't i try to get as i ask questions i have opinions. but at the core of it what do we know. all we know is to s s r t says question more. after the break larry king and there's a question for bianca jagger on america's bizarre voting system and he tells us about the most powerful interview of his career so far. l. look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. i robot
2:42 am
must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders to conflict with the 1st law show your identification we should be very careful about official intelligence and the point obesity is to create a trance. like on theories chopping with artificial intelligence will summon the demons. must protect its own existence as existed. when i was told something seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. me old but yet to shape out these things become educated and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look
2:43 am
for common ground. those of us who watched carefully the russian always worried that it would eventually become the foundation for policy the by the ministry has done. what to do with strong supporters or american liberals to be bracing itself. in 2040 you know bloody revolution here to clear the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know here i mean your list put pretty would put him in the new bill is that i mean you split needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of 2014. those who took part in this today over 5000000000 dollars to assist ukraine in these another goal it will ensure
2:44 am
a secure and prosperous and democratic. in the 2nd half of our 10th anniversary event with larry king we threw questions over to the floor of the i.c.a. and 1st up with council of europe goodwill ambassador bianca jagger siaca great journalist of course most of my life. i don't doubt it. he's written controversial stuff about syria. he can get published in the new yorker site hersh is banned from new york are you saying he was on going underground actually winning when he explained on syria they just didn't want it was about what he said he was talking about chemical the claims the syrian government used chemical weapons against their
2:45 am
own people i'm surprised i'd like to talk to. one because she's a great journalist and to let me offer. i've never known them to back off on something if you had good evidence that one size said the accusations were wrong according to sources yeah but you know the new yorker and ahmadinejad's get back to us i think we benefit right open the i get janet where it. is. oh why you dear i'm well i'm very happy to see you haven't seen you in a long time i know we missed you but i want to know who do you think is going to be the kind of the day democrats bernie sanders or hillary clinton i love bernie. i know hillary alone why i believe usually many times because she's got she's the best financed she hasn't cool
2:46 am
credible resume bernie sanders is a wonderful guy and a lot of things he says need to be said. and amazing appeal to the is an example of them as a guy but hillary is so well entrenched on so if she's not indicted if they don't get her on something from she's going to run and she's going to get the nomination and in my opinion she'd be the heavy she's a heavy favorite now in las vegas to win because the republicans haven't found the new ones right guy probably you know the you know the rough time trump if you were of time because he speaks the truth the nice forceful he would be rough but they have all it can raise every candidate has weaknesses but hillary is well entrenched and we have an electoral system in america that i don't necessarily agree with. but the state votes are what whoever wins in that state you get there for electoral
2:47 am
count so i live in california my vote is meaningless hillary clinton will win california this debate she will win the california electoral votes. if you're a democrat living in utah your vote is meaningless the republican candidate will win the nomination to win the election in will in utah so it comes down to ohio and florida those 2 states will decide the election and whoever wins those 2 states and i would make hillary the favorite the most disappointing candidate has been jeb bush i know jeb a long time used to be on my show in miami and i can't believe that he's lost all of gravity toss it is a little something's missing which of these bright for this something i love is this was a great guy this is what you liberal for the republicans. he's trying not to be
2:48 am
liberal they used to be a big liberal version of probably the party being moderately one of the greatest politicians i own that was george romney mitt's father who was a liberal republican governor in michigan. that they were evaporated you know finally the republican of the republicans case it is probably more liberal high yelled he came from the b.b.c. . for many years he worked for c.n.n. and iconic american all-american network and now you all embarking on working with the russian network was that conflicting for you know was inflicting one they distribute our program they have the r d i will say this they have never interfered with. half the shows of crude critical of food they have never taken anything out i've never heard anything from them don't do this don't ask this don't interview that person. so i'm i'm a i'm
2:49 am
a communicator and in my whole career of there are serious 58 years i have never. and he was a general manager a program director come over to me and say don't have this guest don't ask that question now that. never happened after the b.b.c. when i worked there. catherine wiley from the press association and i just want to play you thought piers morgan wasn't a success for them c.n.n. as you were and did you watch many of his shows i watched a few my problem with piers was nothing personal but he was the antithesis of what i was as and so there of it was all about him so you use the word i a lot and i just so when i was asked by an audience i was asked i said look i like
2:50 am
them personally but that's not my type of show i don't i don't break gas and i don't i don't make it about me the guest is in a prop i didn't enjoy it and i would say that about any host who i felt didn't serve his audience well i think piers did not do that i didn't like that type of interview. i understand he's back in london. i don't europeans will do this. larry is there anybody that you didn't get to meet that you would love to have met it's right your career is that one person that stands out clearly other than me that you think. i believe james garfield did look like you. fidel castro out of castro i went to heaven if you still got. he ran his could he had his country long you've been every person ever i don't think anybody run a country for 60 years. and he's a fascinating person to be
2:51 am
a revolutionary came down from the hills i was on the radio the morning he marched i was on the radio in miami the morning he marched into heaven and i've always had a fascination with him i went to heaven it's a beautiful silly and we still haven't been able to work about ted turner tried to get him for me because ted fish with them a lot and he's a baseball guy and i like baseball it's almost tried to make something of with but it would have been castro i missed ice cream whenever you still can. oh i would go tomorrow to. my perch and i was at work up the road my whole. and all the interviews you've done which is moved you the most emotionally whether it's a spiritual leader you matter or probably less likely but a politician or somebody who's given a personal testimony of war crimes whatever what sort of what's in your memory
2:52 am
what's the most powerful there's a very good question. i've had some great over the years i've been blessed to a bit of you know 8 presidents. and has so many one i mean of it jackie robinson martin luther king but the most emotional interview. was with the new york city cop. this cop. we booked him and i had i didn't know what the story was i just knew that he was on the new york city police force and that was shot in an incident in central park and he was in a wheelchair and paralyzed for life and he had a little child who he couldn't feel so i was 3 years old and he came with his wife and child and to tell his story. and his story was that
