I think it\u2019s an arrogant, selfish, reckless act,\u201d Rivera said. \u201cI have five grandchildren, all under the age of 12, who are susceptible to someone sneezing on them. I think it is absolutely so selfish, that it is appalling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rivera went on to say that sometimes it was the government\u2019s job to tell rather than ask the people to do things, and he argued that the coronavirus vaccine was one of those instances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want people to have to show, when I go to the bar, I want to know everybody is vaccinated. Or have the test,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGeraldo, what other government-instituted health things do you think they should mandate on everybody?\u201d cohost Katie Pavlich asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeasles vaccine, smallpox vaccine \u2014\u201d Rivera continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut should we be subject to seeing your personal records?\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/05\/19\/katie-pavlich-blasts-geraldo-rivera-us-complicit-crime-against-humanity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pavlich<\/a> pressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re changing the topic,\u201d Rivera protested, but Pavlich continued, \u201cWhat about if we start asking people about other procedures?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is caveman stuff,\u201d Rivera insisted.<\/p>\n<p>Cohost Jesse Watters pointed out the fact that a number of military men and women had not yet been vaccinated, asking, \u201cDo you think they are cavemen? Do you think they are \u2014 answer the question, Geraldo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rivera pivoted to argue that the vaccine had been politicized \u2014 and Watters argued that Rivera was the one politicizing it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s absolute bull, that\u2019s a bunch of crap,\u201d Rivera said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not a good way to get people vaccinated,\u201d Watters said, turning to cohost Greg Gutfeld for his opinion on the topic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe politicizing is bad, but also, I don\u2019t believe that your intent, Geraldo \u2014 and I\u2019m sorry to say this \u2014 is to persuade anybody. Because nothing you said is persuasive,\u201d Gutfeld said. \u201cWhen you call people names \u2014 and I know this from my own history \u2014 it doesn\u2019t persuade anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToo bad \u2026 If you come into my grandchildren\u2019s house and you\u2019re not vaccinated, I\u2019m going to kick you in the ass,\u201d Rivera said, prompting Gutfeld to point out that since it was his house, he did not have to let them in anyway.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are basically smearing half of \u2014 you just said you think less of them \u2014\u201d Gutfeld tried to continue while Rivera kept talking over him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s now my turn. Half the New York City public safety workers aren\u2019t vaxxed, right? So you think you\u2019re better than they are,\u201d Gutfeld prompted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not a question of better or worse,\u201d Rivera said, prompting objections from several of the cohosts.<\/p>\n<p>Gutfeld went on to claim that a lot of people who did not trust the vaccine or who did not yet have access \u2014 such as illegal immigrants coming across the U.S.-Mexico border \u2014 were people of color.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can read about in The New York Times rather than just trying to yell at people,\u201d Gutfeld concluded. \u201cAnd then there\u2019s people called the wait-and-seers. They want to see what the after effects are, these are people that may not have risk factors and they are waiting. Most of these people, a lot of them are in Delaware, the home of Joe Biden. When you sit here and try to crap on Americans because it makes you feel good, \u2018You\u2019re not going to come to my house!\u2019 We don\u2019t want to go to your house, ok? We want to live our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not going to invite you. Because of that, I\u2019m not going to invite you,\u201d Rivera shot back, prompting laughs from around the table.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geraldo Rivera said Wednesday that he thought \u201cless\u201d of those who had chosen not to get vaccinated against the novel coronavirus.Rivera said on Fox News\u2019 \u201cThe Five\u201d that refusing to &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-605363","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/605363","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=605363"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/605363\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=605363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=605363"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=605363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
