I am surprised he is able to say as much as he did about FOX. I thought he would have had to sign NDA's.
I thought they only did that to women who were harassed.
Maybe, he's too old to care or knows Fox has so much going on, it's not paying attention to him.
Finesse👌
@@mykoniichistorychannel No, they do it to their top primetime hosts as well.
I imagine that anyone who works for Fox, even down to the janitors, have to sign nda's.
Can't help but chuckle, remembering Geraldo looking for bodies in AL Capone's vault, and found....NOTHING!!!
Ya I remember watching that all the hype ugh
Was that on his talk show?
No, it was an bad decision hyped ABC prime time special, in 1984, it was hilarious as Geraldo went from one area to the next, hoping to find something , anything, and what did he find? A couple of empty bottle of wine....the whole world laughed at this farce, My lit class at SDSU couldn't stop crying.with laughter,....even my Professor had to excuse himself and burst out laughing in the hall.....a Nightmare for ABC..never again...and there's Geraldo, live, giving exciting, gripping, rhetoric....never has a prime time show on TV layed a bigger egg...I'm laughing now just thinking about it...Google it and see if you can make it through the hour of hot air!
Geraldo's selective memory lapses are astounding🤔🤔🤔
This guy said none of this ON AIR! Nope...he doesn't get a pass!!!
he's literally on the air now saying it. What are you talking about?
@@timbredan3476but didn’t say it when it mattered and still thinks he should pardoned. Swerve and curve.
@@mykoniichistorychannelThe guy is Trumps friends (or at least has fond memories of him). Today's leftists are like "if you my feelings I will destroy your life!" You people are sociopaths.
Lol he disagreed with his coworkers all the time there , one of the reasons he got fired. What are you even talking about
Geraldo was definitely a Trump apologist.
Geraldo says his ideology does not fit Fox's, and yet he worked for them for over 2 decades. Can he, or anybody else explain?
Yes. You don’t have to have same ideology as people to work with them. Imagine that.
Oh that's easy! $$$$$$$$$$$
All about the pat check and nothing more.
Basically, Geraldo is saying he was holding his nose for 20 years. That's a long time to stay in the funk. Basically, he was fire 🔥 or he would have stayed. He is full of 💩💩.
Good question
He says "What he did was unforgivable" and says he should be pardoned.
Make it make sense. He may be nice but people like him are a huge part of the problem.
He is talking about a deal. If trump can promise that he wont run biden should pardon
Facts. Nixon getting pardoned is exactly why we have this abomination to deal with.
If he could sign some legally binding document to not run for the pardon, and it was like probation, if he violates it, the original terms apply or something, I'd be fine if Trump never admitted wrong or said sorry, I do not care, I just want him out of American politics
But I don't know if there's really any way to make sure Trump stays with the deal not to run.
I like Geraldo though to say he has affection for Trump and their friendship and then say but what he did on January 6th was unforgivable. Especially in this social media age, people will drop their friends like a stone to virtue signal if their friend does something wrong. He's like, this is my friend I care about, but my friend did something horrible. He's got good character.
a pardon in a victimless crime would be for the republic, not the don.
He is a self proclaimed Trump supporter 👎🏿
Another used car salesman. Yada yada yada blah blah blah 🙄
Geraldo can move on with his sympathy tour. He also claimed on Fox Propaganda that George Zimmerman didn’t profile Trayvon Martin because he was black but became he wore “thug gear”, a hoodie.
This.
Yep, and I remember Geraldo's own kid called him out on social media like wtf, dad??
Every time I see Geraldo I think about his comments about Trayvon Martin. It took everything in me not to mention what he said about Trayvon in my comment on this video, but you and I shared the same thoughts.
Yeah, I haven't forgotten Geraldo (with his thousand-legger looking mustache...) and his comments about how "Black mothers need to stop letting their sons wear hoodies." 🙄
He is an idiot, but he was right about that.
Their paycheck was good enough for him for 22 years.
He doesn’t get a pass.
Did you see his reporting in Afghanistan on the American soldiers protecting the heroin fields of Afghanistan so the heroin can get shipped to America
Judgy
As an almost Boomer (lol) I’ve watched Geraldo’s career trajectory since Al Capone’s vault. Having seen his career highs and lows, frankly, I think he’s done a lot of good things in journalism.
Almost Boomer?
@@martiwaterman1437 he does as what he is told to do he is a robot
Whoopi and Joy talking about Jeannie under the microphone lol 😂😂😂 the way I spit out my tea
Whoopie ‘oh it was your fault’ 😂😂😂
You did not spit out your tea. Stop lying.
@@mrmcckracken4363 yes i did, not dramatic, like it came out my mouth
@@egyptianprincess6122 that took me out
Yeah. The way they treat her was despicable and Karen Goldberg is a stupid angry racist
Wow he ran straight to 'The View'
Geraldo Rivera IS 80 YEARS OLD!!!! WOW, TIME HAS BEEN GOOD TO HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is?
So he looks amazing for 80
Have you heard of .. plastic surgery ..or Botox ..😊????
He has aged well.
Adrenochrome does wonders
Omg did y’all hear Whoopi under her breath say “So it’s your fault” when he said he discovered Jeanine 😂😂😂 omg
😂🤣😭🪦
Time stamp
3:53
LOLLLLL
Whoopi hates Jeanine. Whoopi is more intellectually dishonest than Geraldo. Whoopi has a meltdown when faced with truth she doesn't want to address.
My all time favorite Geraldo moment was when he got his nose broken on live tv 😊
Me too
Hope it happens again !
Be careful what you wish on others.
@@jeffreymartin6369 I always tell others that on here. Pride comes before a fall...
My all time favorite Geraldo moment was when he exposed the horrors of the mental asylums that we had prior to the 80's. I think that honestly is a far greater moment for this guy than any other dumb moment on air.
What I do for a living is actually what introduced me to that piece. And it is horrendous what he uncovered about how people were treated in these places at the time.
I would suggest if you would like to look it up....steel yourself first. Remember this piece was done over 45 years ago. It is hard to imagine we allowed this kind of treatment of folks with mental/physical disabilities not that long ago.
Look up Geraldo and Willowbrook
Judge Judy, Joy Behar, and this guy here looks great for 80 years old.
Wow, Joy is 80? She looks great as well!
Whoopi at 67 tho.... 😬
If we all had their kind of MONEY, we'd all look great too.
Whoopi never looked good or even ok.
TV magic is something, isn't it?
I have seen Geraldo bare face and he pretty much looks the same as this. I haven't seen Joy and Judy without makeup though
His beef is with Greg Gutfeld, when they were discussing baby formula shortage and supply chain problems Geraldo stated he has ordered a Bentley for his son's birthday he is worried about not getting here on time.
So he complained about a delayed Bentley when people couldn’t find baby formula? Do I have that right? I know that’s what you said but I’m making sure because that’s insane.
@@ascent8487 Yes, you got it right he ordered the Bently for his son's sixteen birthday
@@transformer889 yuk. 16 makes a ickier.
22 years at Fox and he says he wasn't a good fit ...🤔🤭🤣
So... he was fired. Not left. Got it.
I just have to say my view about Gerardo. The friends that he keeps makes me look at his character even more. How can one suggest that a person be pardoned when they won't admit what they did.
Geraldo says he's here to fight for democracy against Donald Trump. I say after listening to him on The View Geraldo is a wolf and sheep clothing. Don't believe the hype believe the actions 💯😔🔥
Geraldo is a closet liberal who pretends he is above it all. With a friend like Gerardo who needs enemies
He did nothing they raided his house with guns drawn and China joe had documents in many locations that he took when he was a senator(which he was not allowed) and no one raided him and no indictment. The FBI and DOJ are covering for China Joe and trying to rig the next election. Stop the witch hunts. let's go Brandon?
You have to be convicted first, you're a bit ahead of yourself.
Who are they talking about pardoning? Trump? I keep trying to pay attention, but it’s so boring.
@@HH-gv8mx Yeah, they're always getting ahead of themselves, wishful thinking on their part. They constantly fall for the media hype about, "this time Trump is going down", so once again, they are talking about pardoning someone who doesn't need one.
They reside on planet crazy, we can see them but they can't see us.
What goes around comes around Geraldo.😊
And sometimes we get to see it😮
I’ve been done with him ever since his remarks regarding Trayvon Martin
Self defense. Get over it.
Stand your Ground law. Deal with it.
Trayvon did nothing to Zimmerman but walk down the street in a hoodie. Stand your ground does not apply here.
@@hermanklump8983 LOL! Ok. I'll bet you believe "hands up don't shoot" as well! You do, don't you?
He was right about that, but hey if you wanna go through life def and dumb
Geraldo was being phased out of The Five because he is self-absorbed.
He called Trayvon Martin a THUGG without knowing anything about the case , F HIM 🤬🤬🤬
He was a thug !!!!
@@jaysmith792id Trayvon deserve to be killed?
@@jaysmith792hahaha I KNEW there'd be at least one of you.
Trayvon Martin was a 14 year old boy who was slaughtered.
Seek therapy and de frost the ice in your heart.
@@jthomasmack17 not 14 and known gang member
Trayvon was 17 walking back to Dads place with skittles & talking on his phone on a rainy day when he was followed by Zimmerman who was angry at Blacks so jumped Trayvon and killed him with gun intently inching gun up to his chest with Trayvon screaming. Zimmerman has been in trouble with law many times since. Zimmerman and his mother lied in court and everywhere else!!!! 🙏🙏💒
geraldo will say anything they want just to be relevent still...
Seriously? Why is the audience applauding? He spent over 2 decades at that network participating in its dishonesty. He left FOX because he was forced out because he’s not what the audience wants. Stop rewriting these people’s history!
😂😂😂😂
Because when the "Applause" light comes on...they clap.
Lmfao. They aren’t any more dishonest than CNN and this show. Right? Or are you on the side that only Fox tells lies? Please don’t tell me you’re blind
Oh the irony.
He may look good for 80 but the Trump pardon comment comes from a place of being disconnected from reality.
Stop the witch hunts. China joe is being protected and the FBI and DOJ are weaponized against Trump to rig the election like they did the last one.
Ray Epps spent 27 hours moving methodically among crowds saying as loud as he could 'No, we have to go INTO the Capital.' I can show you 12 different times he was recorded saying this and it was recorded on personal CELL phones. Where did Trump tell anyone to go into the Cap?
Yes! He looks great!
@@yvonneplant9434 gross. With that stupid hair and cheesy stache? Wow.
@@yvonneplant9434 *Looks like a 75 yr old homosexual*
Being 'responsible for Jeanine Pirro' and proud of it 😂
Judge Judy, Joy Behar, and Geraldo Rivera looks great for 80 years old.
22 years at Fox supporting the machine. But he gets applause.
I applaud the Nazi generals who tried to kill hitler.
What machine is that? So CNN, & MSNBC aren't machines? You're a pathetic hypocrite.
Just like Alyssa. She stayed with Trump for the entirety of his term and then got a seat at the View's table.
People are fickle.
@@Adam-nw1vythat’s because the majority of trumps presidency things were actually going really well for the country.
'You were recently fired... whats your unbiased, journalistic take on your former employer???' This segment is so rediculous. What a joke...
It did as long as Fox gave him a pay check
If he gets pardoned ..he will think he was right ..& be in the news . MORE often....... just my opinion....
I am stunned this man is 80 years old. There's no way. Talk about goalsss
It's called plastic surgery ffs 😂
He's never had a weight problem, right? That's part of it.
He's rich af.
Huh, the guy who was infamously wrong about Al Capone's vault is a bad judge of character and has a ton of bad opinions... who would've guessed?
They ALL loved Trump! The whole media and hollywood loved him! Now they hate him. Why? They are a bunch of parrots, they do what the Democrat media tells them to. This is NOT an indicator of Trump's character.
Whatever...dudes such a sellout.
Sellout to what? He can't have different opinions? Must follow leftist doctrine
His comment that he was always nice to me says all you need to know about this man’s character.
Why? They ALL loved Trump! The whole panel! Even YOU loved Trump until he decided that he was a Republican and the media told you to hate him! Admit it!
@@mattdillon4398 No, I never loved the scumbag.
He deserves no cookie from anyone. PUH-LEASE. 🙄🙄🙄
I see Geraldo and Gutfeld spare many many times. Greg Gutfeld is tge one he's referring to. Also once not too long ago Geraldo was bragging on the FIVE that he ordered a BENTLY and complained that he had to wait months to get it. That is so oblivious to what the average person is dealing with now days. Buy it just don't tell us please. How many times has he been married? Six I think. Current wife is decades younger. He's a empty vessel.
Usually Gutfeld clowns around but when the leftists get too outrageous he really know how to cut them down to size. Geraldo at this age was no match for him.
“ I’m 80 years old. I love my wife. I SOLD MY SOUL ” 🙄
Well said
otherwise how would he have bought the wife?
Which wife?! The current one?! Of course his umm 'values' have a very different definition. Good bye, Jerry Rivers!
For a Bentley
LMAO 3:52 Whoopi says “it was your fault” about Jeanine P. That was exactly my reaction
😂😂😂
I had to do a playback to listen 😂😂🤦🏾♀️
That was hilarious 😂😂
Hahaha I didn't catch that the first time! 😂
Omg, I didn't realize this until I read your comment. I had to re-play it a couple of times lol
Joy said these Fox News lawsuits are like music to her ears 😂
Nicholas Sandmann sued CNN for $275 million. CNN settled out of court. MSNBC has been sued. So let's not be dumb as doorknob hypocrites. They along with the view are not news agencies.
Joy needs to learn about forgiveness. #TheView
Ray Epps filled suit this week! 😅 Fox is so screwed.
@@purplebutterfly5366 LOL! He said he thought Trump should be pardoned and that his Presidency was " pretty good " You need to educate yourself . Forgiveness does not mean someone shouldn't be held accountable . You need to earn " forgiveness "
joy hates herself, but that's a great place to start learning forgiveness.
The love fest ended when he said Biden should pardon a criminal. Seriously?
The Biden family?
@@marybudd906Lol. Another Trump supporter who doesn’t know what the word “a” means 🤦♂️
China joe is the criminal.
What criminal, when was he convicted and what pardon are they talking about?
@@Pbadome1 He's been proved guilty of sexual abuse, has indictments against him on espionage (more to come with NJ and Jack Smith). Seriously, if someone as corrupt as him gets a 'get out of a jail free' card, then it opens the door for everyone to commit crimes and wait for pardons. Doesn't work like that.
I see it took him 22 years to figure it out.... Or because Fox in tanking with all the lawsuits. Give me a break. He will go & do whatever the the wind blows 🙄
From what I hear Geraldo and Lindsay Graham know a lot about the wind 'blowing.'
I can’t wait to watch Greg Gutfeld tonight and watch him slay Geraldo
It didn't disappoint!
He called him out! Lol
🎈Fox news has ten times as many subscribers as The View has for good reasons!!!
A lie travels faster than the truth (the old adage remains)
@@OranRobinson Don't forget Nancy Pelosi's 1,100 and 1,400 page democrat wish list bills they gave republicans only 72 hours to view or did your gay all day fake news forget to tell you about them? and idiots like you have no idea why you are broke after getting thousand of dollars free from those stimulus checks that made everything more expensive, Biden even artificially deflated gas prices by pissing away 2/3 of the strategic oil reserves and selling it to China too like the good little commie he is!!!
I think the older anchors should form a show where they all talk about the news, it would be interesting
Fortunately we the people will choose who the President will be and not you alone❤
We don’t choose crap dear.
Oh ffs this man is the very example of sitting on the fence when he clearly doesn’t believe what he’s saying
We need way less government control.
We need way less The View lol
I love his hair! I can’t believe he’s 80! Geraldo has always been controversial but pardoning trump if he’s convicted won’t help anything.
Won't help that'll just make it worst can you image the next criminal President seeing all that Chump did and he still gets a pardon what would stop them from going rogue too if there's no consequences?
Trump needs to go to jail. This is why he behaves the way he does. He's never been held accountable for his actions. President my a** he's a lying crook.
Head full of thick hair! He looks great
Stop the witch hunts. China joe is corrupt. Open your eyes
Yeah, don't like the guy, but can't deny he looks great.

Beyond that, their cognitive functions are 100% intact.
@@amyt2400 totally, they're shaper then folks half their age.
I think Geraldo should join the cast of the View. He would fit right in.
He’d fit right in with those cackling hens
No
Geraldo is very calculating
Geraldo is trying to have it both ways. He's flip flopping all over the place. No consistency at all- makes no sense. Grow a backbone, Geraldo!
80 years old and hair like that. It's not fair. LOL. Seriously though, this was a really good interview. He seemed very honest about his history.
After all the issues and outcomes from the past years, encouraging a "Pardon" for Trump, tells me Rivera did not learn anything from what has happened from the GOP and right wing cohorts. You want the country to move on, to move forward, then folks that commited harmful acts need to face the consequences of their actions (or inactions) and be held to account. So we all learn that no one is above the law. Otherwise, something worst than Jan 6ths is in our future. I really wish folks like Rivera would wake up and see reality.
That reminds me of all the people who said surrendering in Vietnam would cause the rest of Asia to fall like dominoes. Life isn't that simple, and LOTS of people are above the law, from former Presidents to everyone who stole from a Walgreens in NY or California in the past 3 years.
What about selling influence for money? Do you think Biden should "face the cosequences" for that? What about how he botched the Afghanistan withdrawl? What about his refusal to secure the border? How about his stealing of classified documents while VP? What about the FACT that he has dementia? These are ALL impeachable offenses yet YOU voted for him! Why?
Geraldo Rivera looks amazing at 80, God Bless Him!!! Wow!!
So he says, he’ll never forgive Tucker, Carlson and then the host says you’re a class act. Now that should tell you how disgusting and vile this show is. Calling someone who won’t forgive somebody a class act. So sad.
...but which host called him a class act? Wasn't it the conservative? Do you think that the lone conservative is the whole show?
@@TraceyJean it was not the conservative. There is no conservative on that desk.
What did Tucker do you Geraldo for him not forgive him. That is a stupid statement.
@@mosesrobbins696 It was Alyssa
Geraldo Rivera is an angry angry 😡 has been he didn't like hannity and hannity did not like him they're all glad he is gone
80years..my God. Aging gracefully
Never liked him. Still don’t. This is an apology tour. We JUST don’t care.
Hey Geraldo, why didn’t you do 12 assignments in Afghanistan? Could it be that you were asked to leave because you disclosed locations that endangered our soldiers?
I genuinely don’t care about Geraldo Rivera, since he spent a lot of time supporting their nonsense anyway
Joy absolutely killin it
joy's bunion was prolly killin
She couldn't kill a crab leg.
Reading index cards is not "killing it".
I've watched him for many many year. And i enjoyed his shows until he went to Fox!
I like Geraldo for many years, that was until he went to work for Fox. Now even though he presented worthy information while there most of the time, his political beliefs came out and that was it for me.
He is not a hero 🦸🏽!!!
“I still have affection for him???” HOW??
That hypocrite was talking out of both sides of his mouth.
He got into it with Greg Gutfeld often. That is who.
That man aged like fine wine
I don’t understand the clapping. This man literally said he was ok with all the ugly stuff because he was in the “in” crowd and he enjoyed the “access”. How is that celebratory?
Gerald Looks good at 80 ❤i applaud his honesty ❤
Wait, are you telling me he is older than Biden? What happened to Joe.
No matter what bone heads like yourself say, the concern about his age is not enough for me to not give my vote once again to President Biden. We all live to eventually die, and age is just another line on the clock. As long as the two hands are moving, who's to say that his mind, body or life is less than the lines on your clock? President Joe Biden has my VOTE.
And also Hi is older than trump by 3 years
? What happened to Trump
Giraldo reveals exactly why he doesn't get a pass in the last 20 seconds of this video. Man is such a flip-flopper.
When I tell you I feel out of my chair when he said he was 80!!! I wanna look that good now! 🤣😂
Joy, "he was crazy before that "😂😂😂.
I was brought up watching his Television Show.
You should have been fired when you threatened Eric Bolling on Live TV
I thought he was there to promote a book, more lies and hypocrisy instead.
"He was nice to me"? Wow 🙄
Joy is correct. Pardoning Trump would not just be outrageous, but Trump would never go away.
Trump is the human equivalent to a forever chemical
That’s rich of her complaining that he’ll never go away when she’s literally brought his name up every single segment for the last 6 years. He’s always in her head.
He's that poo that won't flush
Well put. I fear 100yrs from now history classes will still have ambiguity over the 2020 election. I cite our US Civil War and the "Lost Cause" narrative that was taught in southern classrooms.
YOU Mean Cheater n Office
Pardoning Nixon gave the message that Presidents are above the law. That was the first mistake...
He worked 23 years there now he has a problem.......
There was so much coverage of this I’m only seeing this three months later it’s nice to see a program like this have less views than individual UA-cam accounts
Compare his age 80 to Biden’s age 80. Like two different species!
Compare it to Trump 🤡
Have you heard of plastic surgery or Botox ..😊 ??
Right
Compare the differences growing up with a speech issue, and President Biden is doing just fineby me. No matter what bone heads like yourself say, the concern about his age is not enough for me to not give my vote once again to President Biden. We all live to eventually die, and age is just another line on the clock. As long as the two hands are moving, who's to say that his mind, body or life is less than the lines on your clock? President Joe Biden has my VOTE.
I'd rather have Biden any day over Geraldo
Of course the segment ends as soon as Geraldo begins espousing compassion for Trump.
They announced just a minute before, that they only had 45 seconds left. Reality continues to elude Trump supporters.

Tiny Greg Guttfield was butting heads with Geraldo
He looks great.
i'll never forget that brawl on his show
Of course it was an effort to boost ratings for the Geraldo Rivera Show. Jerry Springer and Morton Downey Jr. perfected the trash talk show formula.
He was around for Willowbrook, then left for fox🤷🏼♂️

He’s look amazing for 80. Just a few days ago I was watching episodes of his late night show from the 70s, especially the ones surrounding the JFK assassination.
The problem with Fox is that it became the Trump version of State television.
That was on Ailes and Murdoch's vision board. Let's not forget who got Nixon, Reagan, and Bush elected. 🤨
Just like ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN have become the DNC version of state tv.
