STEVE DOOCY (HOST): Well that's not going to happen. Here to react, somebody else who never apologizes, Fox News senior correspondent--

[Crosstalk]

GERALDO RIVERA: Estoy aqui para hablar sobre el show real de los Presidentes. [Laughter]

DOOCY: Geraldo, would you agree with many in the Twitterverse that what Vicente Fox said yesterday morning was a giant gift for Donald Trump?

RIVERA: Oh, definitely. It played exactly to Trump's base on the issue of the wall and the antagonistic relationship with Mexico. I have to--before we talk more about Vicente Fox, who many think was a failed president of Mexico--

DOOCY: Corrupt.

RIVERA: --That as well. I have to say that just as a Hispanic man, as a Puerto Rican-American man, to watch the historic nature of two Cuban-American sons of immigrants get up there and be fantastic in every regard, and yet to hear them be so harsh, so punitive, absolutely so hard-nosed on the question of immigration reform was so deflating to me.

DOOCY: Really?

RIVERA: To watch Maria Celeste from Telemundo ask that question, pose that question, and make the point that a Republican needs 40% of the Hispanic vote to win the presidency, I just think that it is such a historic moment and such a historic letdown.
