The interview was conducted by veteran broadcasting personality Larry King, who began the interview by saying he and the Republican presidential candidate are friends who have known each other for decades.

Clinton said she wasn’t exactly “surprised” that Trump appeared on state-sponsored television channel Russia Today on Thursday evening.
Speaking to King on RT America – an operation of government-funded news outlet Russia Today – the former The Apprentice star said it would “not be appropriate” if Russian forces were looking to influence the race, as some investigators suspect in the wake of the DNC hack.
Critics of the network, which mostly targets audiences outside Russian Federation, have described it as a propaganda arm of Putin’s government.
At the event that had all the trappings of the presidency, Mrs. Clinton made the remarks in a somber tone and presented herself as the more serious alternative to Mr. Trump.
Trump also injected drama into the national security debate this week by wholeheartedly endorsing Russian President Vladimir Putin as a strong leader who has fared better than US President Barack Obama. Trump said he has a secret plan to defeat the Islamic State but would not reveal it publicly. ‘National security experts on both sides of the aisle are chilled by what they’re hearing from the Republican nominee’.
“I don’t know what Trump knew”, King told Burnett with regard to where his Politicking show is distributed. Hillary Clinton has attacked Trump for his laudatory comments about Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president.
It should be pointed out that the Clinton campaign has refused interviews on RT America, that the Center for American Progress has “blackballed” the Ed Schultz news on RT America, so you’re not getting the straight questions, you’re not getting the straight answers, you get manufactured information.
“We have got to specifically target [Abu Bakr al-] Baghdadi”.
Hillary Clinton said the 2016 presidential campaign is turning into reality TV and accused Donald Trump of not taking his White House bid seriously.
Trump said he would fire some of the generals if he wins the presidency in November.
Trump sought on Friday to blame Clinton after reports that North Korea had tested a nuclear weapon, arguing it was the fourth such test since the Democrat became secretary of state in 2009 and that she should have ended the nation’s nuclear program before her tenure ended in early 2013.
Clinton called the North Korea test “outrageous and unacceptable”, saying she supports imposing additional US and United Nations sanctions. Clinton said. “I’m not sure anything surprises us any more”. “We need a Commander-in-Chief committed to a bipartisan foreign policy, who can bring together top experts with deep experience to solve the toughest challenges”.
Trump has repeatedly expressed admiration for Putin, including at a commander in chief forum on NBC Wednesday in which he argued that Putin has been more of a leader than President Obama.

Asked about Putin’s statement that hacking of Democratic National Committee emails was a public service, Trump declined to criticize it.
