readings and sally you take. the microphone glasses spenders legend these are just a few of the adjectives and descriptors used to describe the life and career of media icon larry king since his quiet passing at the age of 87 last saturday morning in los angeles california known for its signature look the large glasses and suspenders coupled with an interview style that was simultaneously laid back and cozy while powerfully inquisitive and deeply informative king was the benchmark he was the standard bearer for the television news interview to call larry king a legend in this industry of news and entertainment is not hyperbole from. sinatra

the face of news media forever with the premiere of larry king live on ted turner's then fledging network c.n.n. . larry king live would quickly become c n n's highest rated show pulling in millions upon millions upon millions of viewers before king left c.n.n. in 2010 this is one larry king once again broke new ground in news broadcasting by venturing into the brave new world of internet streaming and content creation with or a dot tv and then hosting politicking and larry king now here on r t america. so today my friends let's celebrate the life work and legacy of the icon and legend larry king as we start watching the homes. in a city street. there so you. see the prices you always state

see. great city displays systemic deception is so much. so you'll. welcome everyone to watching the hawks. and i'm a cop and joining us today to discuss the career and legacy of the late great larry king is the host of news with rick sanchez the aptly named rick sanchez the host of in question millet's chan and the host of the world according to jesse former minnesota governor jesse ventura thank you all 3 for joining us all 3 of us were touched by larry king in his career in our time working with him here at r.t. and even before we came here to work at r.t. at the top of the show i briefly i briefly talked about just the few ways larry king impacted journalism through the medium of television and radio rick as a veteran newsman can you give our viewers an even better understanding of mr king's contributions and impact on the world of news and entertainment. there's

nobody in television today who are ever or who was able to manifest interviews the way larry was and. very easily easily explained moves people have what is called a book or that bookers job is to call people and get them to be on the show that you book for the book or for larry king had the easiest job in the history of the world the hardest decision was not who you could get but who you were going to take up the ass on because it didn't matter whether it was a prime minister the actual president of the united states at the time a previous prime minister the most sensational entertainer in the world in the world whether it's in music were or in the world of acting it didn't matter everyone was calling to be on larry king's show that's how big larry

was. and while larry may have given 50000 interviews jesse you've probably been interviewed 50000 times you fed across the larry king my worst times throughout your entire career in your opinion what made larry king such a great interviewer. well larry was phenomenal and you know if you got a chance as rick said if you were fortunate enough to get on larry king it meant you were on the a list you know and it meant the world was going to hear what you had to talk about now i got on multiple times because i've written about a half a dozen books and i would usually get booked on larry show after writing a book and we discuss it and all that and then of course larry would bring you on for expertise i remember my my most famous quote that went throughout the world was i said on larry king and that was when larry brought me into discuss torture it was

at the time the torture was the prime subject back in the mid 2000 is in there and i made the statement because i have been water boarded so i know what a. like and i made the statement that give me a waterboard one of our a dick cheney the and i'll have him confess to the sharon tate murders because i wanted to emphasize how powerful torture was that you couldn't trust it because the person being tortured is going to say whatever they have to be on the torture so that was my most famous quote of because i said that on larry king and it ended up being that yale university is one of the famous quotes of that year so that's the power of larry king had when you went with larry king plus i think the great thing about larry was you women there with the said that you weren't going to get cheap shot it that larry would ask you tough questions but they would be question jude

expect from an everyday citizen every day of your life if you happen to be involved in anything of controversy. monella as a young journalist and broadcaster knew about the opportunity to interview larry numerous times on your show in question what kind of colleague a mentor was larry king for young journalists around the newsroom in the times that you've both worked with him here or when you're interviewing him on your show well i would say there were 2 parts to this that you could learn from larry or your take away it's from larry one of them was one of the things that can't be taht is just something that larry himself had and you hope you can possibly imitate was just the ability to make people comfortable before the interview starts that they feel comfortable in speaking to you and and being honest and i think one of the main

things i learned from from working with larry the last few years is that 1st of all you can't really interview the king interview where the master interview where he would always kind of find a way to start asking me questions and i'm thinking way to. art i have a host here why are you asking me questions but what it was was that larry never made it about him and so for me my take away from from the lessons learned of working with larry on on a regular multiple times a week basis was that you don't make it about you if you were the interviewer you make it about the other person and you need to be genuine and curious which i think larry was he was genuinely curious in the questions he would ask and i think that came across on screen and the people the viewers know that when you're when you're earnest and honest about what you're saying which larry was all of those things rick you've added the opportunity obviously as well to interview larry and also to work alongside him as colleagues what what is it what is the thing that you take

away for your own career you've you picked up or learn from from larry over the years. you know he said. i never learned by talking i learned this he's absolutely right and the thing that larry did which well i think i'm going to hear his success was the fact that he asked very simple questions that were palatable to the gast and to those who were listening he had no problem with one word questions why who. where i mean it was the ultimate 5 w.'s in a preview and at its core that's what we're supposed to do and journalists we're supposed to ask people questions and then learn from what they say and then maybe perhaps ask another question larry is great because larry came from radio and i

have learned you know he and i both worked at w.o.t. then we both worked at c.n.n. and then we both worked in our t.v. together so i got to know where he over the years and if you were to ask where and . up in heaven right now what was the one thing you did got you started in the right direction and a new york foundation radio radio is thinking on your feet it's having a real conversation would be people it's not that you met with a camera and it doesn't make you the most important person in the world it makes the moment a listener and the person you're talking to the most important person and we're all of them that's we're you know in the good old days that's how people came up in this business they knew how to do this little thing called ad libbing where you just got to look at the camera and have a conversation with larry could do that with the best that's part of the reason he was sober and rick radio is making a comeback sort out in a different sense in terms of podcasts right now do you think that the leadership that larry king had believed something for

a new generation of young journalists who are emerging and what do you think his legacy thanks to them. i think that's a great point and i think the obtrusive bullying world that we are now in in the media that we've seen with the advent of these television stations and people like bill o'reilly for example who was the 1st to do it on television rush limbaugh was the 1st to do it are radio this kind of i'm going to be in your face and i want to make it all about me that is going to dissipate and the larry king way of doing it is going to win out in the end and i'll tell you just a quick. anecdote about larry and bill o'reilly it's this when bill o'reilly was trying to make his mark on fox news c.n.n. was the top of the heap and there it was the top of the heap at c.n.n. so along comes bill o'reilly getting wanted to take down c.n.n.

so he decided to take down larry king so dollars and your worst that larry king was a phony only asked softball questions he wasn't real he didn't like his gaffes he was an aggressive and one day larry said look you want to ask me questions ask me ques. and why are you talking about it so bill o'reilly and i did larry king and larry king started to bill o'reilly when larry when bill o'reilly pushed him about the softball questions narratives and larry i'll never forget this moment just literally destroying bill o'reilly much any bill you do interviews the way you want to do it and used and now do interviews the way i do interviews it's ok i'm not going to tell you how to do yours and please don't tell me how to do mine and in the end see who's right that isn't accused jury is proven that larry king's right i couldn't agree with a war and i think of a bit of the proof is in the putting as they say oh hold 'd on there are 3 guests will have you back after this upcoming break all right everybody as we go to break

number that you can also start watching the hawks on demand through the portable t.v. the portable t.v. app which is now available for download on all platforms and the tribute to the late great larry king will continue this friday yes be sure to tune in this friday january 29th when our ti america will be airing a documentary and larry king's very last interview as we go to break here's a little bit of the wisdom larry left behind for all of us to take a listen to. what we live for every day is to question more we question our children we question oh wise one question relatives and we question what's going on in the news how else to learn without questioning. was. it. was it was

the. most i don't like going to the minute mark the moment when the room for the original members of the world photos of them. was but i just wasn't. sure it was you make them. grammy awards or your. jungle book from the sun no my book you go you go there's course there's one of them broke up. i mean the guy. that did you. know them all of. the tax. cuts. to.

welcome back to watching the hawks and our special look back in remembrance of the life work and legacy of the legendary radio and television broadcaster larry king who passed away last saturday in los angeles at the age of 87 where once again joined by the host of the world according to jesse former minnesota governor jesse ventura the host of news with rick sanchez the one and only rick sanchez and the host a big question. jesse you work with larry king at or after he left c.n.n. when he was focused at. building up streaming content on the internet as news media began to change in a focus with play heavily on digital and social media larry king remained a faithful what would you say with the key to his longevity in a changing media environment and what did you enjoy most about working with him.

well larry he did make the change you know and i found it i find it very interesting right now when you're watching all the tributes to larry on main stream media and especially c.n.n. where he 25 years where the icon of c.n.n. they go through larry's history and it's interesting they cover his radio that rick talked about they cover his 25 years at c.n.n. and then what you talked about he made the transition into pod cast or a t.v. which is where i started working directly with larry but what was interesting c.n.n. does all this biographical stuff but then for get the last 5 years there is literally no mention of larry king here at our t.v. now wired like to ask why. do they think it would somehow destroy larry's reputation if you were at our t.v. or is it to try to destroy our t.v.

because our t.v. would get great credibility for having had larry king here for the last 5 years of his broadcast life and i'm finding that very interesting how mainstream media isn't talking about his relationship with our teachers i guess they wouldn't want to refer to larry king being an arm of the kremlin in a sort of way but then but then we're getting better during the day just to let me get i got to tell her i got to say something about that because i think it's really important point you just made it doesn't matter what the reason it's it doesn't matter whether the reason is the kremlin are there so that of the other the fact of the matter is what suffers there is the truth and they should deal honestly with the fact that they. we were the essentially pushed larry out the door they should feel deal honestly with the fact that larry have he continued his career after he left c.n.n. and by omitting that that's a lie of omission and it troubles me i'll just share one quick note and then i'll

shut up the same thing happen to me when i have less than a man and you do this and they have a right to fire mages are going to right to fire anybody companies can do whatever they want but i can't been the guy according to the new york times or the miami here or china and the media usage at c.n.n. i was the twitter guy or whatever the hell it's called and after i was gone we did a 10 year anniversary of twitter on c.n.n. can you believe those s.o.b.'s did that without even mentioning my name it was shown obvious to anyone who had watched me that i had been a part of the twitter thing on c.n.n. and they just left it out as if it didn't matter and you know what i do just to agree a little bit more with what jesse was doing there that's a lot and broadcast companies who make their money or make their living by supposedly telling news which supposed to be based on truth should lie i'll add and i'm going to talk at the time i think that it's very important that you both just

pointed that out because all of the in memoriam that we think does bar it makes it seem as though larry king's career ended think years ago so i think it is very important that we continue to remember he was still very active and that's a part of his legacy and i agree i couldn't agree more with everybody because that's you know his legacy in pushing online content and coming here and working on r.t. is a big one mil you like and we mentioned earlier you've interviewed larry many times you know what what struck you most about your you mention that he would always kind of turn around ask you questions but what you what struck you most about larry's knowledge of politics and world events you know coming from someone who did question more constantly yeah i think it was larry but actually high near that question or i want to tag on a little bit to the whole hog. lasting and streaming i find it really interesting that i mean roughly 10 years ago it was larry's ora t.v. coming from somebody in his eighty's that really pioneered where streaming

television was going he was on top of it larry knew where believe it ought all the kids were going to go he was ahead of the curve so bravo to the larry for having his finger on the poles of where the media direction was headed and as far as to your question. i think the i think the fun part of interviewing lariam and as you mentioned he would toss that kind of back to me because i don't think he could help himself i think but it was talking to somebody that was it was never a formal interview it was you know larry was just kind of like your sage friend that has seen it all been there done that talked to everybody who is anybody and because he would throw out those simple one line questions he shut up more and he listened to the guest and he let the guest speak for themselves instead of kind of trying to narrate or guide his guests into saying what you know the

narrative was for whatever network it might be whether it's c.n.n. m s n b c fox or what have you larry just let the guest be themselves he let them do them and let them tell their own story so i think he learned so much from that because he used his ears and listened and so i think he led such a profound life because he heard so many life stories and anecdotes that he could apply it to himself and i think that's that's why his life was was so amazing and just to you to learn remember one shot or go ahead. what i wish to do. i met larry understood that mode which most hosts don't get if their names on the show they think they have to be the star and they have to do everything to perpetrate that continue and oh he's the star of the star larry

understood his name was on the show but by making the gas the star that lifted larry up there stardom even beyond a lot of its gas here we are to be spending our hours talking about the career of larry king we don't spend hours necessarily talking about the careers of the people who you interviewed did. it's a great morning it's a great point. so who became the star. point and rick you were a journalism student i was to you also got my start in radio what do you think were the most profound lessons larry king's career and legacy have left on the field and what do you think any advice he would have had or aspiring journalist would be what you think you know what is the impression somebody like larry king have left on careers and radio and t.v. journalism. passion for what you do if you don't love which you're doing don't do

it get the hell out go find something else to do there is no question that my mother and i knew larry for decades and i remember listening to him in my end it was the he was look i'm a big miami dolphins fan obviously i played college football and that's how i was able to go to school my parents go to boarding school in college so i got a football scholarship i went to going to school in miami dolphins spent my whole life larry keating was one of the original play by play guy for the miami dolphins so he was the voice the announcer who did the dolphins games he wanted he had i knew earnings from getting into radio worked his way up went to miami worked at w.o.t. that wonderful up dreams where he got the gig working with the dolphins time the dolphins were that good. went on to become one of the greatest teams ever and you have to be there then he started working in some of them you i'll be getting how did she know then you got picked up by the mutual broadcast radio network and it was larry king coast to coast every single i'm the only guy here except for jesse

who remembers that but every single human being who was in their car any time after 8 o'clock at night was listening to mary king interviewing a book author or somebody else telling a story and he did it so it definitely because he in chile can learn to be a storyteller because he's given through radio that is how you get good at your craft stories i'm going to jump out of here and i have to jump in here he's an actor please go hey rick wait a minute rick rick and i also archer minnesota. minnesota. and. i started 100 we got a full scholarship to the university of minnesota played at morehead state and went to minnesota graduated and then went back to miami like you know larry do you remember and larry bill brings us brings this great conversation so i got a little bit of time left i so i just want to ask jesse what are your final quick

thoughts on the remembrance of larry king. i'll miss larry king i'll miss larry king because he was a character he's an icon to television and if you watch television and you believe in icons larry king's a good one to have they'll never be another interview a man like him again. will a final question very quick thought on larry he was very judicious and very thoughtful in his answers and when you ask him about all the famous people he knew i know he had a ton of dirt on donald trump but he was very very kind and judicious every time he was on i could never get it out of larry and god bless you larry we're going to miss you oh that we. that we are reading very quickly in about 10 seconds here last autumn larry. there is one person in this world it's had the most appropriate name and that was larry king because he truly was mickey into broadcasting and shall
