Jerry Springer Full Interview - The Chris Cuomo Project

[@kimberlynickles8984]

[@chemeriaconsultancy1320]

Great spot on real talk. Congrats Chris you should have Jerry back again.

[@brianbowers809]

Thanks Chris that was awesome

[@celialum9863]

This was worth watching and listening to.

[@studio1127]

All pain is personal. Nailed it Chris, nailed it.

[@SheilaHensley]

Proof positive that remembering our own and listening to other people's history informs our opinions. What a blessing to hear Jerry's lived experience. Comparing mine to his helped me realize that we are truly more alike than different. Hearing others recount their story helps us better understand our neighbors. Thanks, Chris. Great discussion.

[@roxannekeomaka4754]

Loved this show! Learned so much about Jerry Springer. Thank you.

[@zuchjr]

Great interview Chris, I didn't know Jerry was so insightful 👍 👌 👏

[@rebeccakesner9840]

Great Interview Chris You Really Asked All The Right Questions And There Are So Many Things I Didn't Know About Jerry Springer And I Have So Much Respect For Him Now So Thanks Chris For Doing This Interview!🖤

[@katherinebaer9223]

Great interview Chris

[@google_mom_]

Thank you for this interview. All I knew about Jerry was "Jerry, Jerry, Jerry" - I had no idea about Jerry's background and how much knowledge he has. Glad you have schooled me Chris! Jerry for President 🙂

[@ImaniNile]

Thanks Chris for another informing and enjoyable discussion!

[@joannarobertsrogers3662]

I have to say the first thing that sprang to my mind (no pun intended) was that he was a reality tv show host. I had forgotten he is so much more. Great interview.

[@loricrockett-owens5117]

I'm watching this on my Roku on the tv. Lol. Not even through the whole interview. But this is an awesome interview. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you all

[@TheEsquireClub]

CUOMO ROCKS!👊🏼✨

[@MarquezRobinson]

Just saw your recent interview with Brian great interview btw and as a Independent you gained a new subscriber 👍🏿🙌🏿 definitely will be watching your videos alot.

[@integrityinus5018]

Jerry is a nice guy!

[@mmpmazerolle]

Great interview. Jerry Springer is so knowledgeable and wise. Very interesting listening to his views on different issues.

[@Loveschihuahua12]

This was a great interview, Chris, with Jerry Springer.🙂👏👏 A lot of things I did not know about him. Lawyer, civil rights, political career. I can listen to him and you, Chris, often. Good job!!

[@keithfeldon1508]

I was surprised how insightful Jerry Springer is. I also didn’t know how affected his family was by the holocaust. I was a college student when his show began and the Donahue show. They were so different from the usual talk shows featuring famous people. He simply and concisely explained the rise of MAGA better than anyone I heard and it’s analogies to 1930s Europe. Keep up the good work with people all across the spectrum. 👍🙏 Keith in Chiang Mai

[@sitasingh8173]

Excellent interview...well do Chris

[@jenniferhizzy6591]

I can listen to you two all day.

[@catherinesalacuse3284]

I like this @Jerryspringer ! He certainly is “ A MATTER OF FACTS” guy. Like his perspective or not, facts are facts. Thank you for this very interesting deep & honest conversation. Just there, I enjoyed listening to a healthy brain & mind. And you Chris is trying to bring the other side to the table. Thank you to both. It felt good to participate in this dialogue with you both. . Happy Holiday Season to you both.🇫🇷🇺🇸

[@sarmachivukula4237]

Great show, I watch Jerry Springer show, now I know different side of him. thanks Chris

[@minniemaklingham4255]

Looks great Chris ❤ Right Questions, Excellent interview with Jerry Springer 🙏 I enjoyed your new episode Chris 😀 !! Happy holiday to you and your beautiful family Chris 🎄

[@maryborden9267]

I loved this interview. One of the best interviews I've seen. RIP Jerry

[@navinebaskerville2350]

Thanks, Jerry for seeing the bigger picture. I am African American who has experienced every type of discrimination possible, yet I still believe in the American dream and trust those with open minds and love in their hearts will make this country a place of freedom for all, eventually. I like your points of view. I also can see the value of Chris's counterpoints which makes us think of the majority's fears and respect those fears.

[@ettaprather4176]

I am surprised by Jerry’s life experiences, political and personal insights. Great interview!

[@minniemaklingham4255]

Love Jerry Springer ❤️ very intelligent man 🙏

[@TTuckerTrucking]

Enjoyed the show

[@debrabelaska3175]

Good morning Love Jerry Spring ...would watch him on my breaks at work. He is a funny man, an intelligent man , and a kind man!

[@andyschool]

His personal story got lost as his show evolved. I am happily surprised to hear this intellectual Jerry once again. His original show was thoughtful but that market was saturated. Great show!❤👏👏👏

[@rosannajacksonwright927]

Thank you, ignore haters, I’m Yorkshire Italian, with tattoos, raised in a Catholic environment, lived in UK and NYC, faced a lot of discrimination in both countries BUT I see others face more, hate and racism is rampant. Be you, stay great.

[@catherinesalacuse3284]

@jerryspringer has this rare talent to put himself in other people’s shoes, but in a way that I myself can understand. I guess it is due to an extreme sensitivity which makes you feel other’s pains….other’s extreme situations reach your inner you like if you were living it yourself … empathy and beyond! Thank you Chris. Keep on bringing Guests who can only improve our vision of the future meaning that lots of Americans are healthy minded & yes the world is in turmoil but we have to believe & have confidence that hope is still our moto. America always came back on its feet in history… no reason not to believe that America will come back….but we Americans have our part & responsibility to get back there…🇫🇷🇺🇸

Chris your show on News Nation is the best show on TV. NEVER MISS IT.

[@locadisa]

Thank you so much for this interview. Finally. It had to be said. While so many others... especially in politics are short of admitting... It had to be said by an acclaimed white person such as Jerry who has interacted with people in all walks of life and for someone like Chris to concur with his observations regarding the current state of this country. Jerry hit the nail right into the pulse of this country. It's so sad to hear it but I believe that it's the absolute truth. Profound fear is what has divided us. So where do we go from here?

[@marlenesoifer8786]

I can't STAND IT YOU ARE SOOOOOOO SMART THANKYOU FOR INTELLIGENCE THANKYOU

[@ebbypitarro9174]

Nice guy Jerry’s the best!

[@Zee-et4rd]

Jerry was and is a good man. Welcome back Cuomo. I love hearing your voice.

[@runningdogx]

Outstanding show, Chris. Springer is a deep thinker and you nailed it by asking him for a talk. Can I make one suggestion, though? That weird blue, yellow, orange, red fuzzy background of what I guess is supposed to be a cityscape looks exactly like CNN's when Piers Morgan had the failed replacement show for Larry King. Change to something else. Just a suggestion. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@theresalreneparada1096]

What a thought provoking interview. Clarified a bit more for me the far right, far left thing that we hear a lot about in the news media.

[@cherylvrabel1159]

Just a suggestion, I think you would get a lot more likes if you did live chats. The people in the chats will become your cheerleaders. They become a community that has your back and will help you grow. The people like communicating in real time and feeling like they are a part of your success.

[@bernitaewing7841]

Yesssss Ohio

[@MattGrossChannel]

I was coming home from a background acting job at 20th Century Fox Studios. Back then I commuted on the bus. When I arrived at my neighborhood, an LAPD cruiser, parked on my street, shined their searchlight at me. I gave the officers the middle finger. The cop driver barked back, "Is there a problem?" To which I said, "F**k you!" Then he said, "We responding to a call about trouble in the area." Note: I live near Silver Lake. I was still dressed in my cameras clothes (a nice business suit). I was carrying a garment bag with my other camera clothes. I was furious. I scolded them, "I'm walking back to my condo which is completely paid for (no mortgage)." I hope California makes good on Reparations.

[@themharrington]

Chris, the bird, can we have a word?

[@ismanovska]

Jerry Jerry!!!!!

[@Paul-pl6dl]

Chris as much as you tried you couldn't get Jerry to agree or get into much of your thinking about left and right he is just older and wiser he knows being white was a huge advantage in life in America 82 and still going strong what a great man love your show

[@ellencox8415]

.... What happened to the bird, Cuomo? Was it good with some fava beans and a nice Chianti?

[@ikecon991]

Jerry is extremely smart, Chris should get him to debate OReily

[@merelythepawn]

Jerry Springer, was a spring chicken just years ago... I'm getting old. I remember when, Oliver knew, when he was talking with the Iranians about getting the hostages back, he knew, deep down, people deserve better than to be treated like military arms. It’s a distinction without a difference as far as we should have been concerned.

[@kirstenviers7928]

Twas good to see a catholic and jewish reared persons having a discussion. I'm not sure where you will end up but the time is now for your differences to be hashed out; my creed of Christian has our own view.

[@annettec9112]

It's not what you say, it's what you do. I can say I love you but if I beat you, berate you, lie & cheat on you, do I love you?

[@integrityinus5018]

RIP JERRY!

[@madamvillalobos3344]

I always remark how our Trump party is like the Jerry Show. Depravity for popularity. It was interesting listening to Jerry’s take and tying in ‘the leftovers’ on his show and current constituency on the right. I feel like that underbelly was exposed by the OG circus king and found a new home in Trump’s orbit. Very compelling interview CCP! Thank you🙏🏻

[@jaclynn555whitehead2]

Hey Mr. Cumeo you ready?

[@shirleynichols2917]

[@AljIsHere128]

I love Jerry Springer and what he is saying and perspective discussed. Chris given the fancy upper middle-class NY community he lives in of rich yt people who are lamenting their kids not able to get into a good school even though their kids got good grades in school or SAT scores. I don't shed an OUNCE OF TEARS FOR YOUR NEIGHBORS, RELATIVES OR COLLEAGUES whining about their yt kids aren't Black football players and Basketball players to EASILY get into college. THEY GOT THEIR $$ TO GET THEIR KIDS INTO ANY SCHOOLS THEY WANT TO GO TO. Or new twist they can go to another school or go to (YIKES) community college to decide what the hell they want to do taking electives of interest which is a good cost efficiency factor. And that's ok if not Ivy League U know. By the way Chris they sound like bigots to me even if your racial blind spot perspective says they aren't. I mean why do they equate that the only way Black kids get into college is through sports? Sounds like stereotyping to me 🙄. Jerry Springer is a great man with good dialog and I enjoy him very much. He got me through my late 90s college years when I needed a respite from my studies.😂.

[@lindal.7242]

I agree with Jerry Springer 💯. Having said that I also believe his show and others like it were greatly responsible for the Trumps of this world to exist. His show was greatly exploitative of marginalized people and glorified and normalized uncouth behavior.

[@jaclynn555whitehead2]

You work for me, right?

Chris, please change the opening music.

[@medicinaemdia4895]

12:50 I have a question for both of you, we’ve got a Republican Party that is very fractured with the MEGA idiots getting crazier by the day and scarring things up by the day, is there any way the Republican Party might be able to “reform” it self, or do you think it’s gonna have to become so fractured that it will eventually end up becoming new parties ?

[@begabrielanunez7326]

I understood, his point is the tirany from which my parents took me to US to survive is the same I Percibe nowadays is taken place in 🇺🇸 for cultural reasons. In my opinion, having a 🇺🇸 in your front door or car means nothing if you haven’t understood what those two wars, Civil Rights achieved thanes to 3 great human beings assassinated and hundred of afroamericana as great as well. They learnt nothing. The point is not 🇺🇸, but to respect the Constitution, ergo the Social Contract. I see confusion, frustration and lack of education which have to be seriously canalize through knowledge that has to arrive to each part of the country. Even more those places far from big cities and where closed cults are frequently alive. Having the diagnostic, Education , Knowledge is the answer. Barenboim is a Music 🎵 Director born in Argentina. Lives in ISA but has a great idea: Show the world the racism is a mental construction. In fact, made an orchestra integrated by Jewish and Muslims. The challenge is demostrare that mental construction can be replace for a constructive one. Thanks Chris -

[@begabrielanunez7326]

Hello Chris: His parents were the only who survived. Two World Wars. Because of racism. We as civilization haven’t learnt. His family made the right decision and he could have a life and be teaching through his experiences. The point is: WARS kill and destroyed worth human beings. He is an alive example of that. I was astonished when he told where he was born and under which circumstances. I think of 🇺🇦 and the babies who were born recently and the children. That should have never happened. It seems were happening in another planet. In 50’s time there will be men and women telling a journalist “I was born in 2022 in a basement in Kiev” Every day I wish so. Thanks. Chris-

"We have the life we have today because we couldn't IMAGINE if we didn't have minorities in our history, WHERE WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY to get these beautiful homes built -- I mean, what THEY'RE REALLY WORTH." Thanks a LOT, Jerry. You're a millionaire who just admitted that illegals are paid MUCH LESS to do the work, SHOVING AMERICAN WORKERS ASIDE so you can have that next property at a discount.

1. This is NOT 'who we are', By his own admission Jerry discriminated on who could be on his show and targeted (by way of limiting guest to) a specific demographic... come on now keep it real. 2. Your Channel tab does NOT have "News Nation" (or ANY) link. Tsk Tsk bro 3. I think you should have a subscriber contest to redesign FREE Agent logo. ...yep said that outload. I was thinking: FREEdom Agent. :0 :) Keep up the good work!

[@luvlivefoods]

Jerry is a great example of a smart man who just doesn’t get what the right is concerned about. He just makes them wrong.

[@user-co9it3vr4s]

You know it’s really something because I really love Jerry Springer, and what he’s saying But his show is all about pissing people off and fighting? Isn’t there a hypocrisy there so what it means to me is that even though he has the understanding of why immigrants are here his way of making money what’s the piss people off?

[@luvlivefoods]

The funny thing is that Jerry does not recognize that he is on the extreme left.
