Into it whats your take on the media reports that russian of the get stronger every day offering bounties to taliban fighters well i think a lot of things about it larry 1st of all it makes me furious makes me want to puke i get very angry if the charges are true you know when russia was in afghanistan the United States backed the mujahideen we called them in those days they were our allies they were Freedom Fighters and we did you know supply them with the r. P. G. Eason the the other targeted missiles that they used to shoot the russians so part of the dirty game of the great game the the war you know the quiet war thats been going on i hope these charges are not true they seem illogical in the context of today with peace talks going on we want to get out of afghanistan are our longest war i did a lebanon assignments there im sick of it weve lost so many people i want to get out we want to get out the russians want us out why would the russians do something that would piss us off i dont know it seems illogical but it also seems like a yet another attack on donald trump larry putin told me years ago that he doesnt want to tell america what to do with the biggest mistake youre making is being in afghanistan well i agree with with the letter to putin on that afghanistan you know once we got rid of al qaeda we should have just said goodbye to afghanistan trying to build a modern nation there we have the same frustration the russians the the british did you know alexander the great did you know its not a conqueror a bull country and i i want to leave the afghans to their to their fate very. President trump says this is probably another fabricated a russian hoax by fake news what. Are all the right were both in the news you view a goddess is fake i think that any story about trump that puts trump in a negative light gets traction with the Mainstream Media there is a real hatred of the 45th president by the Mainstream Media by the Washington Post by the New York Times by the big networks i think they take any bit of evidence any shred of proof of some negative story and they put it on the front page russia the collusion was a hoax with 3 years america was distracted by this this fake story you know so i would not be at all surprised if this current story was also fake you know either i want to see the proof myself i want to know you know was the president briefed ok. I know you a long time i know President Trump a long long time do you regard him as a good president the president has had a very difficult time larry i consider him a friend of mine i think that hes done some great things prior to the pandemic americas economy was at historic highs you know was humming along in such an effective and efficient way that it was elevating many of the historically disadvantaged groups africanamerican unemployment was that the lowest level ever more women were working than ever before our general Unemployment Rate was the lowest ever lettings one really working what was it great he was doing he was doing so well before the pandemic him larry. But when the pen demi hit you shed. That trump was doing an epic job so much spoiling of mitigating the coronavirus catastrophe. How could you possibly have said that hindsight is 2020 larry i wonder how any of us would have handled it i know that on c. N. N. In the 1st week of march they were saying that this was going to be just another flu there was another annoyance and then 2 weeks later it was this this epic epidemic that. Anderson cooper. And its check it out or in it i am march for march 5th corps little are 2 or 3 or 5th it was compared to the flu everyone was everyone that everyone once china lied to the w h o once they lied about the human to human transfer of the disease we were all back on our heels we were all taking it easy we were all distracted by that phony impeachment that was happening to the to the president we were all distracted by politics we were all you know with our eye off the ball did the president was he a of the wizard who steered us through this with minimum damage no obviously not there were missteps made i wish i wish we had taken him more seriously but he was not alone larry thats my point and there was there were no you know voices loud voices there were no loud noises come on why dont you once a liberal this has nothing to do with liberal or conservative i was never a democrat ive never been ive always been a registered republican or an independent. In terms of being a progressive person or a relatively moderate person i consider myself roadkill why rocchio roger ailes once said the only thing in the middle of the road in american politics is road kill im in the middle of the road and in terms of Immigration Reform in terms of abortion or choice in terms of gun control i still have progressive viewpoints but i believe in the American Enterprise system and i want to give the 45th president of the United States the benefit of the doubt he has been harried he has been harassed he has been attacked he has been you know even before he took office they were trying to impeach him its been very very frustrating to watch as cheerleaders in the Mainstream Media have taken every story every scrap like the russia collusion baloney everybody looking back on it knows now the president of the United States was not a spy for russia he was in a traitor to the United States he was in a secret agent Whose Alliance was to moscow not washington and yet that was a front page story in the New York Times been true to extremely unfairly and i think that history will d judge him more. Modest more moderately you know in hindsight then he is currently being judged you think hes a one term president do i think the president is going to win reelection its a its a very very difficult uphill climb for the president hes behind joe biden in every poll by double digits that i think that the president will be judged by what happens with this pandemic if we can get a handle on it i think is a reasonable chance of reelection if not i think hell be defeated larry. As a champion of civil rights you a champion of civil rights how do you regard this president s record really sucks regarding Race Relations in that area hows he done thats a great question as a republican i think that the best way the best civil right is a good paying job with great benefits and job security i think thats what trump delivered in that way trump was a civil rights activist by elevating the most humble among us he was he was doing a civil right that was real civil rights not the the empty rhetoric that weve heard for decades he was helping improve the lives of minority people thats a say a civil rights activist in my view now is he a lifelong member of the a is he a member of black lives matter has he embraced you know the politicians who are generally speaking urban democrats you know i i think the answer to that is obvious but you knew that when you asked me the question dont you dont dont you embrace black lives matter dont black wives madam the president s never said it never said it you know larry last weekend in chicago 18 people were killed black People Killed by other black people including 4 teenagers and a 20 month old child if black lives matter really cared then those black lives would matter black cobblers lives would matter black infants lives would matter black teenagers lives with matter are you but the black and i dont hold it tight let me just a little you know its language that you care about i think the black lives matter organization. Only cares about black lives taken by blue by cops this is all about Police Brutality the relationship between the police and the Minority Community its not about black lives matter its about black and blue relations those are separate issues i think a far more important issue in terms of black lives aside from the economy is this urban violence that has been a plague on the United States i mean how is it so many people die in a single weekend and theres not a mention of it from any democrat where was joe biden when 800 people were killed in chicago last weekend you know im sure he cares but he doesnt speak to it because it doesnt suit his political agenda the political agenda is everybody on the democratic side flock to black lives matter and create an illusion that if youre not a black lives matter youre not a civil rights and thats false larry so i you could hardly call donald trump for runner in the battle for civil rights on the part of blacks you could never say that geraldo i could not believe you would have to say that donald trump is a leader in the Civil Rights Movement in this country. Larry i go back to what i said when black unemployment was below 5 percent and closer to white unemployment than it has ever been that to me is civil rights the civil right the who passed the criminal Justice Reform did barack obama pass criminal Justice Reform know it was donald trump in a in a bipartisan effort he just did that what about the Economic Opportunity zones that trump has created i think the f. To give credit where credit is due is some of his language unfortunate does he sometimes have a casual cavalier attitude does he not recognize that when you you know when you endorse confederate statues you are offended people i think that all those things are true and i think that he deserves just criticism for that that that thick head and thin skin that he has having said that i go back to what my point is my point is this gross hypocrisy on the left when it comes to civil rights and it takes sometimes someone like donald trump to pierce the veil of that hypocrisy to reveal the harsh truth underneath larry. Well have more when theyre all over there right after these words join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. Still small seems wrong. But all in all just dont call. Me. To say power to stay active. And engaged because the trail. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Law no team no crowd. No shots. Action news. No 1st. Points your thirst for action. Welcome back to politicking the talking with my old friend geraldo or theyre all fox news correspondent large host of i am geraldo 15 years streaming on fox nation. You talk about the bias on the left what about your own network and bias on the right. Well theres no doubt larry that our private can i just interrupt ourselves and point out that in 1985 this is a little bit of Television Trivia i was fired by a. B. C. News and the only job i was offered the only job i got you gave me as your substitute at c. N. N. 1985 look at up i was proud to sit in your chair when you were on vacation it was the only job i could get. Is there bias at fox news and the primetime hosts. And the primetime hosts of fox is definitely a very conservative show and Hannity Tucker carlson laura ingram are among the most vocal conservative commentators in media anywhere on earth theres no doubt about it they are definitely you know if you want to say theyre not prejudiced theyre conservatives and most of the media is liberal so definitely theyre the most conservative group of hosts anywhere that you would find anywhere in big Time Television there are some splinter networks that maybe have people who are more firebrand more right wing but no doubt that those 3 people are very effective a very strong conservative voices but during the day fox news if you watch it its just another news channel we have reporters go out they do stories they they take them right down the middle they report the facts theres not an opinion in the given generally speaking the morning show fox and friends like the evening show also is political but the vast news gathering that goes on all day long during the day i think that is just is just as down the middle as any of the networks more so i would submit larry is there anything donald trump the bothers you. Donald trump is thin skinned hes tempestuous i hate the way that he goes on twitter so promiscuously hes so in many ways so passionate about it and so sensitive super sensitive that he responds in a way that he spends the next couple of days he does that in 30 seconds and he spends the next couple of days having to explain it or the people around him are put in the tremendous disadvantage because of it as i said hes very intemperate and thats his thin skin is the worst aspect you know hes a very prideful person you know and hes had a terrible time i mean how would you feel if the 1st 3 years of your job you know the whole vast apparatus of the democratic machine was trying to get you fired get you impeached even invoking if they could the 25th amendment to have them replaced as non compass meant this i mean how would you feel how would you react i mean the guys got to be flattering. A judge has granted his Brother Robert trump the a temporary restraining order against a new book. By his niece very calling him too much and never enough how my family created the worlds most dangerous men knowing you as a civil libertarian you cant support the banning of a book i dont i think that its an exercise in futility for full disclosure d of everything including his tax returns i think that all of these hidden things will ultimately be public anyway why fight them the fight during more attention to them like the fight against john boltons idiots book just drew more attention to it i think it was laid an egg anyway but i i wish the president would just you know not bother with his niece or anyone else let him write it its just another trump book larry. What was your robot against john bolton did you read the book what was your rub against m i i read the excerpts that were available my rub against john bolton is that he never saw a war that he didnt like beginning in late 2003 hes had a toxic influence on American Foreign policy dragging us you know into perpetuating the iraq war for example his situation the visibility iran is very troubling has been very troubling i think that hes been a Bad Influence on the president i opposed the president in the attack on the iranian militia leader i think that. The bolton esque Foreign Policy of the United States in the middle east is. Very toxic i think that iran is getting short shrift i think we should stay in the Nuclear Agreement that was negotiated with iran i think that we have more in common with iran than we do with the saudi arabia i think our Foreign Policy is warped in the in the middle east and i think the bolton help graphic larry but what about what he writes in the book about the president doesnt that. Give you pause d. I know the president as well as i dont i dont know what the relation was between john bolton in the present know that he hired him is you know the National Security adviser you know bolton has always been very controversial he couldnt get confirmed to be ambassador to the United Nations even was too hot to handle and many many of the fox commentators try to avoid jumble most i dont like him ive never liked him i wish the president never hired him i think hes had a very negative impact on American Foreign policy im glad his book bombed his book bombed where did you see the bomb well i havent seen it at the top of the bestseller list and theres a lot of trump haters that would buy it i have and havent checked out the bestsellers lately or all things aside what the what kind of guy bolton is our engine disturbed when he told. A president thinks finland is still a part of russia. I am not going to defend trumps education must go to war finland and russia have been closely associated historically and they fought a couple of wars you know finland is a great place it is it is adjacent to russia i maybe maybe its easy to confuse i i know the difference but then again sweden is right there in sweden its different. Alright you now slide into saturday the 4th of july which is your birthday how about 77 yes on the 4th of july up pretty good. If youre didnt go do you plan on doing. Not going to Mount Rushmore i wish the president would it here the social distancing will do as little as we possibly can you know i started telling my family in my fiftys that you know not lets not celebrate this anymore you know theres a epidemic of illegal fireworks in every big city in the country you know its my birthday comes with a company of unpleasant noise so i dont ill be it with as many of my family as i can have around me like one of the one thing thats hard to believe about mr trump who i like very much is a friend of no info as long as you do that refusal aware im asked. How on earth how can you refuse to wear a mask like the twitter storms that he unleashes very imprudently from time to time i think his stubbornness when it comes to wearing a mask is very very unfortunate you know i dont think that masks are the be all and end all but i do believe in the science and in the scientists that they say where a damn mask i dont know why the president i understand that he lives in a in a you know a safe environment more or less i understand that hes tested on a daily basis but i think the example that he setting in not wearing a mask is very unfortunate its unnecessary i dont i dont see the you know whats a choking that is macho. The stronger than the disease i dont like it i wish youd wear a mask i have counseled him thusly and you know i wear a mask and i wish everybody did let you wear a mask to benefit people around you not for his shelf schol the president by not wearing a mask hurts the people hes around. Not in shell i think that its a very bad example i understand the sciences you agree suggests he keeps in the you know when you spin all the rest of it i just wish that he would wear one as an example you know i dont think hes going to be that close to that many people but i still wish that he would wear one as an example i mean mike pence is wearing one now most of the cabinet as i see them a wearing why not and finally on the election expect a big turnout experts expect to happen over them but. I think turnout will determine this election if you get the kind of turnout that happened in 2010 for example in the midterms the Tea Party Year i think that trump will will carry the day if there is a white van jones the c. N. N. Commentator called the white flash i think the president will try him particularly gets some black men to go his way and you know some proportion of the latino vote to go his way i also think that if this elections like 2018 you know the midterm where the democrats really were energized and women suburban women came out to defeat the republicans itll go joe bidens way i think turnout is crucial i hope the American People are engaged whatever side youre on i hope that there is a historic turnout and i think that the voting should be made as easy as possible the president is wrong about mail in ballots i think absentee ballots that are are fine as long as theres some tracing of you know some professionalism behind it but i think that this will be a race to watch a race for the ages larry. Theyre all as always great seeing you and happy birthday thank you very much ive been a delight thanks very much mate thank you audience for joining us as well remember you can join the conversation on my Facebook Page or tweet me at kings things and dont forget to use the politicking hash tag and thats all for this edition of politicking.

Greetings and sell you tell you so you know it seems that everyone these days rather than just rolling up the sleeves and doing a little hard work are trying to fix the problems we face would rather just let technology do the dirty work for us that seems to be one of the sad truth of the 21st century you know rather than sweeping up your own mess savva roomba do it for you tired of parallel parking your car hello auto park too tired to pick up the remote just to have alexa change the channel for you rather than do a real detect. Or just let facial Recognition Technology tell you who and who in which suspect to arouse yes that was the case recently in detroit michigan when Police Arrested 42 year old black man Robert Julian borger Jack Williams on a felony warrant for larceny after facial Recognition Technology fingered him of the perpetrator of shoplifting 3800. 00 worth of watches from a shy mellow store the computer said you did it so thats a wrap case closed looking down oh lets go grab a starbucks and maybe pepper pepper spray a few protesters on our way there but not so fast and move to new turns out this Crime Fighting facial Recognition Technology has a pretty major fatal flaw the New York Times reports that while facial Recognition Systems have been dangerously used by police for more than 2 decades recent studies by mit and the National Institute of standards and technology or nest have found that while the Technology Works relatively well on white men the results are less accurate
