You know you do

... uh, uh, well, let me just say after 56 years in the business, I, I think that I am a brand that comes with a whole...

For instance, I'll give you an example.

Uh, Charlie Kirk Charlie Kirk gets shot and Jimmy Kimmel goes after Charlie Kirk before the body is even in the ground, when the widow is, is still in the, in the midst of the, the most egregious, uh, gr- grieving, terrible grieving.

Um, and I, I, I, I was on with Wolf Blitzer and I said, uh...

And Wolf was looking for me 'cause Kimmel had been, uh, you know, kind of derailed.

They said that, uh, they were talking about taking him off the air.

But they can't do anything about it

Now, it's not ideal for them, but do you think what you're hearing in those recordings and that kind of message, is this potentially going to support criminal charges?

I have absolutely zero doubt.

Hi, Bhatia.

Hi.

I'm Jesse.

I have zero doubt but that this will lead to indictments.

Letitia James will rip the faces off these people.

She wanted to go back to that same fraternity for another party, okay? This does not, to me, sound like the profile of a woman.

What did you expect wha- when you went in there, though? Before you got in and actually saw it and smelled it and everything else, tell me what Willowbrook was and what you expected you were gonna see.

Willowbrook at the time was the world's largest institution for the population we called mentally retarded in those days.

Uh, developmentally disabled now.

Uh, there were over 5,000, uh, i- inmates.

They called them patients, but they weren't patients, and they weren't clients.

They were inmates.

And the population was, uh, I think mildly to severely retarded, depending on the building.

It's, it's, you know, it-

Okay,

great.

So I think that he likes to label things.

He likes to brand things.

And so he likes to acquire things.

He's a very... also very confident person with a real annoying ambition to leave an imprint on history.

Thus, Lake America or Gulf of America or the Trump Kennedy Center, the Trump war mausoleum, the Trump this or that, the Trump ballroom in the White House.

it's

Mm

... in- immeasurable.

Uh, they hate, they hate him.

The Republicans hate Fauci.

He's the symbol of everything, uh, that the GOP detests.

There's tremendous pressure on, uh, on the US attorney, uh, uh, Judge Jeanine, uh, to, to bring the, to ignore the pardon, uh, to, uh, to insist that he testify.

Uh, the, you know, the, it, it, it is, to me, bizarre that you have a situation where, uh, all of this, it, it, Fauc- the only thing I wanna know from, uh, Anthony Fauci is where the virus started and who is responsible for the leak that cost millions of lives.

Mm.

Was it 27 buildings or 27 centers that are helping people now?

More than that.

I saw Dickie Schnapps, our delightful, dynamic creator.

I thought she said 44.

But it shows that it's in the double digits, and we're very proud of it, every facility.

Some of them now being, as we spoke in the event, some being renovated to make it easy for people with disabilities to get around.

You know, it's funny, John.

I want to have that discussion with you in the near future because it's a problem we're creating for people.

And tell us about the charity that you've been involved in for such a long time.

Will do, John.

I just want to first signal to the audience that you have been enormously generous.

And we appreciate it at life's work over the years.

You and Margo have just gone... above and beyond, and with that kind of support, the charity Life's Work can do this important job.

I'm delighted that I'm teamed up with Bill O'Reilly again.

We were together at Fox News.

Now, if I remember right, when you and Bill O'Reilly were speaking about it, that you're up to almost, what is it, 27 buildings or 27 centers that are helping people now?

Well, Geraldo, it was good to see you last Sunday to help with the charity, and tell us about the charity that you've been involved in for such a long time.

Will do, John.

I just want to first signal to the audience that you have been enormously generous, and we appreciate it at life's work over the years.

You and Margo have just gone... above and beyond, and with that kind of support, the charity Life's Work can do this important job.

I'm delighted that I'm teamed up with Bill O'Reilly again.

We were together at Fox News.

We're very, everybody knows, opinionated, but surprisingly, even though our opinions differ a great deal, we get along great.

Well, I remember the big investigation you did, it seems like such a long time ago, and you exposed some of the ugly things that were going on in Willowbrook, and you were able to put together this charity along with Vicki and Now, if I remember right, when you and Bill O'Reilly were speaking about it, that you're up to almost, what is it, 27 buildings or 27 centers that are helping people now?

Is there anything wrong with that?

The problem is it's sloppy, it is, uh, uh, ill-aimed.

It is, uh, uh, in, in a way, uh, extremely unfair to, uh, the people who've been here for 10, 20, 30 years and have committed no crimes, raised their children, followed all the rules except their, uh, their unlawful entry.

Uh, have played by the rules in, in every regard.

Uh, my goodness, uh, on Long Island, where you and I hail, uh, th- th- as you suggest, the migrants are the, the, the gas that makes the engine go.

Uh, they are so hardworking, they're so, uh, diligent, so believing in the American dream.

It's a, it's a shame when you see ICE unleashed in a way that, uh, is, uh, is horrifying, uh, very cruel, a- and, uh, and, and, and not very, uh, effective if the goal truly is, uh, if it sincerely is to get the people that Maduro released from the prisons.

... any ethical situation.

[laughs] When, when you look at the second term immigration crackdown, many see something having gone off the rails.

It, uh, is, is very disheartening to me.

It's very, very sad, the demonization of people who really, the vast majority of them, just want a, the American dream.

I mean, it sounds so, so rhetorical, but it's still true.

Juan and Maria just wanna come here to get by.

They want to send a couple of dollars back home to Mexico.

They want to raise their children in a place where they don't fear violence from the cartels.

Yeah, to flee.

So what's your take on this whole Plattner situation, the Democrats seemingly leaning into all of these anti-Jewish candidates, and what it means for the future of American Jews and the Democratic Party?

Well, let me start with, I hate the impact that the rift is having.

First of all, congratulations on your book.

My wife, Erica, loves it.

I get it next.

But I think that you've really put your finger on a really crucial issue.

So the effect, as I was saying, is that you have almost a generational gap.

What do you make of this reversal?

... to this day, do you believe to this day that he is innocent of those charges?

I, I do.

I do.

I, I spent hours with Michael, uh, on camera, off camera, uh, alone, uh, with my wife, uh, at times, uh, when Michael was living in a motel, uh, in Santa Monica, running away from the press in Neverland, uh, recording studios in the Valley.

I never saw anything.

And I note, just note, I want, acknowledge the presence of wonderful attorney Mike Gragos, a dear friend over many years, and Thomas Mesereau, another wonderful attorney who did a magnificent job in defending, uh, Michael in the, the, uh, uh, the Santa Barbara case.

Uh, I never saw any evidence of that.

Mm.

How do you decode that?

I think that that might be hyperbole, Harvey.

I think that he has a way of being very flamboyant in his language.

I was on Celebrity Apprentice with him.

I saw him up close and personal.

He's someone who is in a job where lightning bolts strike.

He is the guard of war.

Charles

I think that there's no need to excuse him.

You're ignore...

Everybody is ignoring the original sin.

Hold on a second, I haven't spoken yet.

Everybody is ig- ignoring the original sin, which was to use a brigade-sized deployment of paramilitary forces to presumably, or reportedly, or, uh, the, the pretense was, to go after the worst of the worst of the criminal aliens.

Did that happen? Absolutely not.

What happened instead? You had this deployment of these masked desperados, 2,000 strong, descending on the community with attitude.

All of this is fueled by social media, but where, where does that leave us as a society?

Geraldo, which way do you think the parole board is gonna go?

Well, the parole board is the only chance they have.

I think Gavin Newsom will turn it down, but the parole board might be swayed by, uh, uh, by some of the PR campaign that's been massive.

I have absolutely no sympathy, I have to say.Maybe it's because I have covered it from the very beginning.

These are two thugs who savagely murdered their parents, uh, at close range, uh, shotgun blasts, uh, Jose Menendez could not even be recognized.

His face was blown off, the mother's, uh, limbs, uh, were shot to hell, uh, and then they, uh, then they lied about it, spent all the money.

Uh, you know, I remember, uh, I remember the, uh, you know, they, they were the deb- the darlings of, uh, of Beverly Hills for a time.

Do you think the Menendez brothers could have been re- rehabilitated? I mean, people do, you know, in prison, you know, for long sentences, uh, people who are incarcerated, you know, can change their lives, no?

Don, uh, Dan Bongino, and I wanna show some of that as well as how he sounds these days 'cause the job is getting to him.

Yeah.

Geraldo, you do this every time.

It, it, this is such garbage.

You play this emotional game with the audience and use your position of responsibility to put out misinformation and BS.

You know, stop attacking me, punk.

You did it on the police thing, where you didn't, uh- Address the issue.

Mm-hmm.

Your thoughts?

You know, I didn't like when they went after Trump for Stormy Daniels, I didn't like when they went after Trump for the documents.

I thought that that was a weaponization of the legal process.

That's in my opinion.

I think that if he uses the Justice Department in the way that it, it now has indicated that he will, going after, uh, uh, Andrew Cuomo in, uh, New York City as he runs for mayor with allegations of from the time he was governor, uh, going after, you know, these, uh, these artists that I spoke of earlier and, and Oprah, uh, it just...

What, what the hell is the presidency about? And I think that that's really the trouble with the crypto, uh, campaign, this sleazy thing, uh, what's, what's the presidency about? Is it about, uh, uh, unjust enrichment or even enrichment or is it about serving the nation? It just seems to me when, when Bruce Springsteen sings so emotively, uh, you know, uh, uh, City of Ruin or, uh, you know, the, these, these songs that he sings from the heart and from the gut, he's singing about it in, in America and the problems in America.

Uh, I was shocked when he, you know...

Yup.

Mm-hmm.

The world was falling apart at the seams.

The system itself seemed threatened.

And then guess what? He does this and the market goes up.

I was at lunch.

Erica, my wife, and I were at lunch with the guy who handles my investments.

He said, "Something happened." I said, "What?" He said, "Look at this." It was a green arrow pointing straight up.

Yep.
