GERALDO RIVERA (GUEST CO-HOST): I think that Black Lives Matter is the most utterly failed movement in recent times. You have a movement that pretends to care about Black lives, when, in fact, as you demonstrated very graphically at the top of the show, Jesse, the Black life they care about is the one taken by the cop.
JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): Right.
RIVERA: If a cop is not involved, they are not involved, and the vast majority of the casualties in the Black and brown neighborhoods are caused by other Black and brown people. Black-on-Black violence is raging out of control. It is the civil rights issue of our time. It is -- if we don't address it, we're losing a generation of young Black men from coast to coast, and the perpetrators are other young Black men.
