Did any one see Laura Schlessinger on LARRY KING LIVE, January 9, 2008?
jc
She's still milking that old book. She's a mouthpiece for Rupert
Murdoch, big surprize they "sold" the 15,000 to make the NYT list.
What dope with connections couldn't handle that? I haven't read the
transcript yet, hope it's entertaining. I hear she's advising on
Britney Spears. She's been writing about Facebook again in the Santa
Barbara News-Press...

Aired January 9, 2008 - 21:00 ET
When we return, Dr. Laura will be here. She has her own unique take on
the candidates. She'll tell us what she thinks, too, about Britney and

Don't go away.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
Dr. LAURA SCHLESSINGER: I'm Dr. Laura Schlessinger and I do welcome
you to this hour of the program.
You're in so much denial that I cannot help you. You can't argue with
somebody who's not arguing back. So, your job is to not argue.
New adventure. New adventure, Sandy (ph). New people to love.
I'm Dr. Laura Schlessinger.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
KING: It's always great to welcome Dr. Laura Schlessinger to LARRY
KING LIVE, the nationally syndicated radio talk show host, "New York
Times" best selling author, nine "New York Times" best sellers. Her
newest now in trade paper is "The Proper Care and Feeding of
Marriage." There you see its cover.
We'll cover lots of bases. We'll get to the book, of course.
DR. LAURA SCHLESSINGER, AUTHOR "THE PROPER CARE AND FEEDING OF
MARRIAGE": Sure.
KING: What's your view of the elections so far?
SCHLESSINGER: Oh, my gosh, nasty spatting. The thing that worries me
the most, I read in the "Wall Street Journal" this morning, they were
analyzing how Hillary came in front at the last minute and they were
analyzing who did what from the exit polls. They said the women came
to vote. OK?
Then I watch a news piece where they show a black reporter in a hair
shop, barber shop, run by a black proprietor, and they're talking
about blacks voting for Obama. The thing I worry about the most is
people not voting for somebody because they're black, not voting for
somebody because they're a woman, not voting for somebody because
they're a Mormon or a Jew. I'm equally worried about somebody voting
for all of those simply because they're that.
KING: Or vote for someone because they're white.
SCHLESSINGER: It doesn't matter whether you will or won't, it has to
be the person. This is the leader of the free world. This is the
person who is going to protect this country from international
jihadism, and we need somebody who can do the job. We can't say, like
Hillary said evidently in one news report I heard, that are you an
agent of change -- because Obama's doing the change thing -- and she
said well, I would be a woman in office. That is a change.
That can't be the reason anybody's in office. I wouldn't vote for
somebody because they have a uterus.
KING: -- said gender probably is the most restricting force in
American life.
SCHLESSINGER: Yes, that's why more women hold the money in America.
KING: You can't say women have been treated equally in this country?
SCHLESSINGER: Equally? You know what, on what basis?
KING: Equal pay.
SCHLESSINGER: If you listen to Larry Elder on KNBC in Los Angeles,
what you hear is the statistics are always skewed when they talk about
that, because they're comparing apples to oranges, as opposed to women
who have made the same sacrifices and have the same amount of years of
experience and are doing the same level of jobs, that it comes out to
being close to equal.
KING: He's an anti-feminist, so why he is your regard?
SCHLESSINGER: Because he gives the facts. I don't care. You know what,
fair is important. I get nasty e-mails because I defended Hillary with
a tear. And I got nasty emails, we hate her, therefore you can't say
anything nice. I'm trying to bring forth through my radio show and my
books the concept of being fair. You don't have to agree with
somebody, but to you say you hate them because you disagree, and to
use each and every thing that you can find to undermine them simply
because you have a disagreement? I mean it just wasn't fair what
happened to her. I think it won her the election.
KING: It might have. We have an e-mail that fits right in from Miranda
from Oakland, California. "Without necessarily endorsing anybody, what
type of individual do you hope to see elected as our next president?"
SCHLESSINGER: Joe Lieberman. You can make Thompson his vice president.
That's good for bringing different parties together. I want somebody
who has the courage to not do what's politically correct, but will
have America surviving. It's as simple as that. We're in a national --
(CROSS TALK)
SCHLESSINGER: Joe Lieberman, but he's not running.
KING: I know. Of those running do you have a favorite?
SCHLESSINGER: No. KING: You don't?
SCHLESSINGER: No.
KING: Your mind's not made up? Are you a registered for either party?
SCHLESSINGER: Yes, independent.
KING: None of my business.
SCHLESSINGER: I don't mind answering it.
KING: What do we mean, "The Proper Care and Feeding of Marriage?"
SCHLESSINGER: Well, I wrote "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands,"
because it was really clear -- since I did the show with you and we
talked about that. We talked about the growing diminishment of respect
for men, for husbands, for fathers, children of children, and that
didn't make marriages very happy. And I wanted women to be happy. I am
a woman. I want women to be happy.
And so I used that book to show them how adoring their man and
respecting their man and being sensitive about his feelings and his
needs made you happier and got more out of him. The obvious second
part was to bring the entire thing together to show both men and
women, regardless of the gender, how to bring pleasure into a marriage
and make a marriage last. Because I get so many calls with people
saying, I'm jealous, maybe my wife, my husband is looking at somebody
else.
You know what? If you are the most loving, wonderful person to them,
if you were adoring and sweet and kind and thoughtful and considerate
and sexy, and all of that with them, nobody can drag them away from
you.
KING: Is this for women?
SCHLESSINGER: No, this is for men and women.
KING: OK, why is marriage so difficult?
SCHLESSINGER: Because people are not living to make the other person
appreciate that they're being alive and that they're with you. When
you wake up in the morning and turn over and look at that person and
give the thought to, what can I do to make that person happy they're
alive, and married to me? If we're thinking about what we can give and
two people are doing that, like the lift of the Maji (ph), the O'Henry
story, then you have two happy people, even though there might be
financial issues, kids are sick, relatives are crazy.
KING: That's obviously the perfect ideal. But why doesn't it occur?
SCHLESSINGER: I think because we don't support that enough. We support
mostly in our society how you feel about your day, and are your needs
being met. If I could think of one reason that people give me, time
and time and time again on the show when I ask them why they had the
affair or why they hurt their feelings, it's because, I wasn't getting
my needs met. It's all about what I'm not getting. And people have
forgotten that getting married is a pledge to make somebody else's
life worth living.
KING: The book is "The Proper Care and Feeding of Marriage," a major
best seller in hard cover, now out in trade paperback. What does Dr.
Laura make of all the drama surrounding Britney Spears? Still ahead on
LARRY KING LIVE.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
KING: We're back with Dr. Schlessinger, the book "The Proper Care and
Feeding of Marriage." OK, the Britney Spears story, as the world knows
it, the family called Dr. Phil. Dr. Phil went there, but apparently
nothing came of it. Give me your take.
SCHLESSINGER: Well, my take is that between Federline and her, we have
at least four children who are going to have terrible problems. And my
heart aches for the lack of the intact family, for the lack of the
mommy and daddy who are going to be involved with them, for the media
attention that's going to be in their lives. It's just all very, very
sad.
And Britney's sister now making a baby as a teenager herself out of
wedlock. Just the chaos that these four people have brought into the
lives of children is -- I wish it were criminal.
KING: How does it happen?
SCHLESSINGER: Well, I think you said something very important in how
you introduced the subject, this is a worldwide story. Why? OK? Why?
There are people dying all over the world. We almost had a problem in
between Iran and our boats. And this is such a big story. And these
people --
KING: It is a story.
SCHLESSINGER: It gets made bigger, it gets emphasized. It almost gets
cloned again and again and again. It's like there's something new to
say about Britney? The new thing is to say that this is a horrendous
impact on children, that their parents have them as toys, and games in
between them, and have babies as frivolously as I change my hairdo.
KING: Is this poor parenting?
SCHLESSINGER: On their part, certainly. On their respective parents?
You know, when you have two young women in a family who are so out of
control, and so without, sort of, as they say, a moral compass and
making decisions that are in the best interests of the innocent child,
then you have to wonder what kind of support and direction they've
been getting.
KING: What do you make of calling Dr. Phil in?
SCHLESSINGER: I don't really understand what that was about. But I was
particularly horrified when this pathetic situation and this poor,
sad, sick girl is now going to be used as a television show for
ratings. That made me very sad. But I understand that's been yanked.
At least somebody had some good sense and some taste.
KING: Can she -- you're a psychologist --
SCHLESSINGER: Family and marriage therapist.
KING: Can she be helped?
SCHLESSINGER: I don't know what her diagnosis is. If she availed
herself of the support, and had a good therapist, yes.
KING: It's not hopeless, she's young enough, right?
SCHLESSINGER: Age doesn't have much to do it with it. It really
depends on her motivation and the support system around her. She needs
a better one. The ones she has seems more promoting exploitation of
her than rescuing.
KING: Our guest is Dr. Laura Schlessinger. We check in with Anderson
Cooper, the host of "AC 360," which comes up at the top of the hour.
What's up tonight, Anderson?
ANDERSON COOPER, CNN ANCHOR: Larry, a lot of politics. If there was
only one adage proven true last night in New Hampshire, it's this,
anyone who says they know how a presidential race will turn out is
either lying, stupid of both. The race has again turned on its head
and nearly all the candidates put New Hampshire behind them today and
sprinted out the door to try to keep up their momentum or make up lost
ground.
We'll go live to where some of the front runners are tonight, as well
as spend some time looking at how Hillary Clinton got her mojo back,
her voice back as she said and why the polls had it so wrong.
We're also following breaking news about another name that could be
making a late entry into this wild, wild race, and another who is
dropping out. We'll have all those details at the top of the hour.
KING: That's Anderson Cooper, "AC 360" 10:00 Eastern, 7:00 Pacific.
We'll be back with Dr. Laura right after this.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
KING: "The Proper Care and Feeding of Marriage," the author, Dr. Laura
Schlessinger. We have a King Cam question. Watch.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: How long is too long to be a girlfriend?
Specifically, is three years too long when you're over 40?
(END VIDEO CLIP)
SCHLESSINGER: Three years is too long no matter what age you are,
except 15. You know what? I've always told women on the air, if I were
dating now, on the first date I would say, the reason I am dating is
to find a husband. If you're not dating to find a wife, we don't have
to have a second.
KING: Unless you don't want to be married.
SCHLESSINGER: Yes, but she does. And women make themselves very
foolish. These days women are doing this all the time. I get these
calls, letters, and I've even met people in personal situations who
go, gosh, we've been going together three years, six years, we're
shacking up; we're having sex, and he won't get married. Duh!
KING: An email from Alicia in California. "I've been married 20 years.
My husband and I get along fine. The sex is OK, but I've never been in
love with him. He knows this. He accepts it and wants to stay
together. We have a 17-year-old. I'm willing to stay until he's 18.
Would I be stupid to throw away 20 years in search of true love or
should I stay put and appreciate what I have?"
SCHLESSINGER: You know what, she doesn't understand what love is. The
20 years and 17-year-old, and all they've had together and the warmth
and the acceptance he's had for her, she's not going to leave and find
that somewhere else. And, you know, I think people look for warmth,
it's that panic attack feeling, as opposed to the admiration, and the
adoration, and the respect and all of that. She would be making a
horrendous mistake. Over 70 percent of the people who divorce regret
it. They're willing to admit their lives are not better off.
KING: E-mail from Marilyn in California. "I've been married for five
years. My husband recently revealed that he had invested 20,000
dollars on a piece of property in Alaska without telling me. I'm
struggling with feelings of anger and betrayal. What can I do?"
SCHLESSINGER: OK, don't overdo the anger and the betrayal and the
angst. I mean, I'm sure she's bought stuff without telling him she got
the dress.
KING: You're saying, forgive him?
SCHLESSINGER: This is very big. Well, I don't know if she -- how she
treats him when he comes up with ideas. You see, a lot of times you
just read these things -- I don't mean you -- but one reads these
things and one doesn't expand it out to the bigger picture. Perhaps
she has been very diminishing towards him with any ideas he has.
Perhaps she is pecuniary with money. And so he's trying to do things
to better the family without getting her all crazy like she gets.
So it's hard to say what the rest of the picture is.
KING: An e-mail from Todd in Los Angeles, "what's the latest on your
son and his military service? I read last year he was under
investigation for allegedly posting offensive material on the
Internet. What's going on?"
SCHLESSINGER: Oh, gosh, I can't believe you brought up something that
was in the "National Enquirer" and in one tiny newspaper that had a
grudge against me. My New Year's resolution is not to deal with stupid
trash. I'm very proud of my son.
KING: It's not true then?
SCHLESSINGER: He's serving in Afghanistan in combat. As we speak, he
has a gun in his hand. And I'm very proud of what he's been doing.
KING: Doesn't it make you a little nervous?
SCHLESSINGER: You know what? No. It is odd. It is odd. Because I talk
to so many military type wives. I'm mostly proud. Before he left, I
nervously said to him, you know, this is not like a video game. I
mean, you're going to be shooting, which is cute, but they're going to
be shooting back. And you could get hurt or get killed. I actually
said the word. It almost choked in my throat.
He said, mother, mother, mother, the way I drive, it's a little fast.
Now that he's driving Humvees, actually he's driving slower. But I
could get killed on the freeway purposelessly. I don't want to die.
But if I do, it will be doing something meaningful.
KING: How much more does he have to serve there?
SCHLESSINGER: Well, that touched me and it made me not sit and worry.
He's there through the spring. And then he comes back and goes for
special ops training.
KING: Is he Army?
SCHLESSINGER: Yes.
KING: How is your husband dealing with it?
SCHLESSINGER: He's more the girl about it. He's more worried about it.
You know, I'm just more stoic about it.
KING: You're more proud than fearful?
SCHLESSINGER: Yes, he's proud and fearful, my husband.
KING: The latter first. We'll be right back with more moments with Dr.
Laura. Don't go away.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
KING: We're back with Dr. Laura. What do you think of the Lindsay
Lohan story? Here's a very talented girl, actress, singer, young, in
and out, problems, alcohol.
SCHLESSINGER: I think over the years you've heard talk from so many
young people who get into the industry very young and have money and
accolades and drugs and drinking and sex and all of this, and I think
their lives get out of control, and that they don't come from families
with a strong marriage behind them from their parents, and a religious
background, and, you know, a family structure around them.
I think it's just really too easy for young people to fall off the
good track and then throw away the qualities they had that they could
have used to do great things. It's sad.
KING: San Diego, hello.
CALLER: Hello.
KING: Hi, go ahead.
CALLER: I have a question for Dr. Laura.
KING: Sure.
CALLER: I wanted to know what her thought was on marriage and how
often does she think a couple should make love? I've been married for
seven years.
KING: Is there a specified time for sex?
SCHLESSINGER: You know, some people think of sex and they think, we go
through this routine, and then we have intercourse, and we have to do
that that way every day. My theory is, 15 minutes, minimum, every day,
just fool around with each other, hug, kiss, caress, whatever comes
from that, 15 minutes every day.
KING: Not bad. We have another King Cam question for Dr. Laura.
SCHLESSINGER: Minimum.
KING: Watch.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: My question, Dr. Laura, is this; my girlfriend
wants me to take money from her parents and I am not comfortable doing
that. Am I being unreasonable?
(END VIDEO CLIP)
SCHLESSINGER: Yes, a real man, OK. That girl will not make him into a
pet.
KING: Don't take it.
SCHLESSINGER: Don't take it. And, you know what, get rid of a girl
who's going to be a daddy's girl.
KING: An e-mail from Terry in Omaha. "I'm a long-time listener and
it's paid off. I've been happily married for 12 years and I'm a stay
at home mom with three kids. I just want to know if your one- woman
stage show is going to be available on DVD?" SCHLESSINGER: No, because
I'm taking it around the country. Someday maybe.
KING: How does it work?
SCHLESSINGER: Next week I'm going to be in Portland, Oregon to do my
one woman show Friday and Saturday.
KING: How does it work? You go into a theater?
SCHLESSINGER: Yes, it's a regulation theater. And there's no script.
There's me and the audience for two hours.
KING: Do you speak or just take questions?
SCHLESSINGER: They fill out four by six cards and I weave them in and
out of stories, and things about my life, and things that have been in
the news, and make commentary. It's very funny. It's very dramatic.
It's very moving.
KING: Very good idea. Toronto, hello.
CALLER: Good evening. Dr. Laura, I know you're very blunt. How do you
deal with a woman -- I've heard you in the past, actually, in Toronto
on a show years ago, and I know that you're not for abortion and you
believe that's murder. How do you deal with a woman -- do you think
it's positive to deal with a woman so bluntly and tell them that?
Aren't they going to be walking away feeling worse?
SCHLESSINGER: I'm a marriage and family therapist. If somebody calls
me in advance of wiping out their kid, I try tell them there's another
A-word, which is adoption, and to know that you gave life and gave
life to a family so a family unit could enjoy what families have
together has got to be a very good feeling. It's got to be a better
feeling than knowing that there's a death because of a decision you
made. Life has got to be a better feeling.
KING: Working on another book?
SCHLESSINGER: Yes, as a matter of fact, March, I'm coming out with
"Stop Whining, Start Living."
KING: "Stop Whining, Start Living." Why do you point to me? I take
that personally now.
SCHLESSINGER: I don't think you whine. I reserve --
KING: Are you don with it?
SCHLESSINGER: Yes, it's going to be out in March?
SCHLESSINGER: I reserve a certain amount of time for whining. It's not
that I'm anti-whining. I'm pro-whining in its time and place.
KING: Still love radio? SCHLESSINGER: I'm going to be doing it
posthumously.
KING: If anyone will, you will. Thanks, Dr. Laura.
SCHLESSINGER: Always a pleasure.
KING: My pleasure. Dr. Laura Schlessinger, nine best sellers in the
"New York Times," and this paperback could be the tenth, "The Proper
Care and Feeding of Marriage." Check us out at CNN.com/LarryKing. You
can email upcoming guests, download our podcasts or check out our King
of Politics section. We've got quick votes, video clips and

This AP story published in todays SL Tribune (home edition--not in on-
line edition) seems to be somewhat related to this story. Question:
Does the military create sexual predators?
-------------------
Vets in Prision more likely Sex Offenders than non-vets
WASHINGTON --Military veterans in prison are more than twice as
likely to have been convicted for sex offenses as nonveteran inmates,
federal researchers say. They cannot say why.
A study released Sunday by the Bureau of Justice Statistics
compared the populations of inmates who served in the military and
those who did not.
Veterans are half as likely to be incarcerated as those without
service experience in the first place, researchers found, but 23
percent of the veterans in prison were sex offenders, compared with 9
percent of nonveteran inmates.
"We couldn't come to any definite conclusion as to why," said
Margaret E. Noonan, one of the study's authors.
The numbers mirror a trend seen in military prisons, where
populations have declined but sexual assault remains the most common
crime.
"I don't want people to come away from this thinking veterans are
crazed sex offenders," Noonan said. "I want them to understand that
veterans are less likely to be in prison in the first place."
The incarceration rate for veterans is 630 per 100,000, compared to
1,390 per 100,000 for nonveterans. More than 90 percent of U.S.
veterans are male and 99 percent of the veterans in prison are male.
The study found that veterans in prison were older, more educated,
more likely to have been married and more likely than nonveterans to
be incarcerated for violent crimes or offenses against women or
children.

Deryk Schlessinger joined the Army in 2004, telling a crowd of Santa
Barbara, Calif., Army reservists gathered for an appearance by his
mother that he resented the way Americans criticize the war without
recognizing soldiers' sacrifices.
We recognize fully the soldiers' sacrifice and that is why we
criticize this war; that is why we criticize war profiteering, that is
why we criticize the lack of adequate body armor and training; that is
why we criticize the lackluster medical care that our soldiers
received when returning home; that is why we criticize endless
deployments and stop-loss.
We do all this because we think patriotism means more than slapping
the magnet on the back of your vehicle. We don't sit ideally by and
just hope that the best is done for our fighting men and women, we
expect and will criticize when it doesn't happen. He should be
resentful of those that have sent our soldiers off to battle and have
asked nothing of the American people to support them (less a few
magnets).

I just watched Dr. Laura on the larry King show and he asked her about
her son and this web page. She immediately jumped on him and said "I
cannot believe you would ask me something about an National Enquirer
article that is totally untrue" This woman lied to him and to us... We
are to believe and respect a woman who will tell an untruth on
national television??? Or is the Trib lying to us?

I saw the King show also. What the transcript on CNN.com says is -
KING: An e-mail from Todd in Los Angeles, "what's the latest on
your son and his military service? I read last year he was under
investigation for allegedly posting offensive material on the
Internet. What's going on?"
SCHLESSINGER: Oh, gosh, I can't believe you brought up something
that was in the "National Enquirer" and in one tiny newspaper that had
a grudge against me. My New Year's resolution is not to deal with
stupid trash. I'm very proud of my son.
KING: It's not true then?
SCHLESSINGER: He's serving in Afghanistan in combat. As we speak,
he has a gun in his hand. And I'm very proud of what he's been doing.
KING: Doesn't it make you a little nervous? (end of discussion
about allegations)
That is the way I remember it also - she never actually answered
the question. She just diverted everyone's attention. As usual King
does not continue to follow up and get an answer from her. I thought
she was being evasive and I decided to check on it. When I did an
Internet search I found an article about the allegation in at least
two newspapers besides the National Enquire (contary to what she
said). Not sure which is the tiny one with a grudge against her!!
