The Morton Downey, Jr. Show from 1989 80's TV - Skinheads - Documentary/News

[@unabtanium]

I worked nights in the 80’s, always recorded Mort to watch when I got home lol. My late night entertainment

[@SuperStation-17]

Those were the days. Thanks for watching!

[@NearGuttersPath]

Morton Downey Jr Show, Howard Stern Channel 9 Show, Tales from the Darkside, Headbangers Ball, USA Up All Night. Best era.

[@SuperStation-17]

@@NearGuttersPath Agreed! The Golden Era.

Tom Metzker (California democratic candidate..) made already then a good point about military industry - taking taxpayers money to "explore" the super rich moguls interests around the globe... We see the results today!

[@michaelmancini5041]

A classic!

[@SuperStation-17]

Thank you for watching!

[@KrazeeClark]

This show is 35 years old. Why I am still watching this? 😝

[@mrpersonality3497]

Because some of the topics are still relevant!

[@lisascorp]

Because it's just so good. Plus I was only 22 when he was on. I used to watch him occasionally back then (I attended his traveling show and Mort actually propositioned me) I tend to idealize those yrs. His show reminds things weren't as great as I always think they were back then. Although a hell of a lot better than the way things are today. I'd love to go back to the 80s / 90s.

[@nathancoleman7235]

What's wrong with the sound here? I hardly hear them.

[@kja9881]

Tom Metzker is right though about the military industrial complex.

[@kurtanglerookieyear]

A whole lot of people have been right for decades about this and managed to not be racist skumbags in the process. You let a room full of old white money and saudi princes keep their control by engaging in the kind of rhetoric that divides the country, courtesy of the Dems and foreign influence in China and Qatar. Metzker is a useful tool, as are all the "Aryan" actors throughout the years.

The Third Position often uses Leftist talking points to appeal to working class whites. And by "Leftist" I'm not talking about bourgeoise Capitalist LiBruLs

[@marcosjuarez7809]

Oh, my God. John Metzger and Roy Innis were also on Geraldo when they got into an on-air brawl which left Geraldo Rivera with a busted nose.

[@StukInBuf]

Either it was this, or the episode about the cop-killer John Trantino... that was the first time I watched these *Morton Downey Jr.* shows.

[@SuperStation-17]

Thanks for commenting! I have another MDJ that I’ll be posting shortly about Bounty Hunters. It’s amazing.

[@ericsamuelson5656]

Roy Innes vs John Metzger Act Two. GO ROY INNES!!!!!! Those are the same skinheads that were on Geraldo.

[@MichaelHansenFUN]

18:59 he went on OPRAH and apologised while the other went on The Richard Bey Show

[@IronDiva]

They give their full names…where are they now?

[@SuperStation-17]

@@IronDiva I’m going to assume things aren’t going well.

[@MichaelHansenFUN]

18:59 he went on oprh n chnge hi mind whie the other guy got bigger and went onThe Richard Bey Show

[@napalmslayer]

Was this before or after the Geraldo show when Roy Innis choked John Metzger?

[@SuperStation-17]

That’s a great question! Those shows were so wild.

[@napalmslayer]

@@SuperStation-17 I have a feeling it was before. It it was after I think it would have been mentioned. Also, I dont think they would be on another show together after what it led to on Geraldo.

[@anthonycatanese8591]

👃 From the "Not That It Matters" file... I once took a leak in a movie theater bathroom. Standing at the urinal to my left was Geraldo Rivera. It was two days after he was hit in the face with the chair. His nose was all bandaged up and he had the blacked out Raccoon Eyes. He really did get injured in that melee. We spoke casually, as men do, in a public restroom. He seemed like an OK guy to me. ✌️

[@napalmslayer]

Cool ​@@anthonycatanese8591

[@nickbachner7631]

He used to get me sick watching how cocky he was with those cigarettes

[@PatrickJ12334]

Didn't Roy and this guy's son have a go on Geraldo?

[@SuperStation-17]

Probably. Those guys had a while televised carnival going back then. It was so great. Imagine trying to put that on the air today!

[@Elvis-guy1973]

Yes, they did.

[@ronfroehlich4697]

​@@patmoffit4346that was awesome. Geraldo was throwing hands when the brawl broke out, too

[@donjohnson9688]

And Geraldo had his nose broken once again. Lol

[@MichaelHansenFUN]

thiss was after geraldo

[@Elvis-guy1973]

Morton smokes like an old bonfire! I'm damned if he never died of cancer!

[@SuperStation-17]

He sure did love smoking!

[@Nolan-t7m]

He did die of cancer. Lung cancer

They kinda nailed it about the Jews killing Palestinian kids.
