MidasTouch influencer Adam Mockler didn\u2019t like being called out by Geraldo Rivera over this behavior in a viral clip.<\/p>\n

The video exploded on social media when Mockler and CNN\u2019s Scott Jennings went at it during a panel, resulting in Jennings telling the younger man to \u201cget your f**king hand out of my face.\u201d Rivera, who was present on the panel, would go on a different show and say that Mockler behaved like a \u201cd**k\u201d during the exchange.<\/p>\n

A recent episode of\u00a0Piers Morgan Uncensored<\/em> brought the two together again, where the host asked Mockler to respond to Rivera\u2019s insult.<\/p>\n

Watch:<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t sure if you were talking about Chris Cuomo there, actually, Geraldo, to clarify you were actually talking about Adam Mockler,\u201d Morgan said after running a clip of Rivera\u2019s comment.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you still think so?\u201d the young man asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, Adam, what do you want to say to Geraldo? He called you a d*ck. Do you have a response?\u201d Morgan wondered.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, it\u2019s not a \u2018d**k\u2019 to try to force a critical question and try to force the conversation to where the American people want it. Geraldo, you were there when Scott made fun of my bedtime five minutes earlier,\u201d Mockler charged. \u201cAgain, this is somebody not bound by any rules whatsoever on this show. He\u2019s able to lie over and over. Why should I be bound by some decorum that my opponents aren\u2019t bound by? Do you see what I\u2019m saying? It\u2019s not the eighties anymore. It\u2019s not even 2010 anymore. We are in a new era where we are playing in a reciprocal manner.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I\u2019m not playing the games where I have to be nice,\u201d he explained. \u201cAnd regarding life experience, really quickly, you have a whole life of experience, and you\u2019re on the same panels as me. We\u2019re on the same shows. We had a show last week. We have a show today. So life experience? What has it gotten you? I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll right, Geraldo, your life experience has got you nowhere, the young d**k!\u201d the host goaded.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s got me a career that\u2019s lasted 56 years so far and counting, and aside from 10 Emmys and a few other trinkets, I guess\u2013\u201d he said before Mockler interrupted.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd now you\u2019re on the same panels as everyone else,\u201d Mockler needled.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdam, listen, don\u2019t be a wise-ass, okay? I said to you in the commercial break that immediately followed your confrontation with Scott that I thought that you made some good points. The problem is that you can be very obnoxious in your presentation. Now, sometimes being obnoxious can lead to a whole career, but I advise you strongly, because you\u2019re a smart kid and you obviously prepared for the debate, stick to that. Stick to the substance, because I think that you do have a future,\u201d Rivera said. \u201cIn terms of Scott Jennings, I like Scott very much. I didn\u2019t know him before the CNN experience. You know, it\u2019s fun talking to him in the green room before the show.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then see the confrontation, this spontaneous combustion. I was surprised. I was surprised by the fact that Scott reacted as he did. But then just listening to Adam, he can be very grating. And sometimes that works. I remember Morton Downey and a bunch of others from daytime TV and so forth. But I strongly advise you to stick to the substance because you can, as I indicated in the commercial break following the confrontation, you can be a voice for a generation that has so far been unable to penetrate into the mainstream media. That\u2019s my point,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is so indicative of the double standards that we see all throughout the media,\u201d Mockler dismissed. \u201cI mean, you went on that whole rant, but you didn\u2019t mention that Scott Jennings made fun of my bedtime or whatever, not that I care. But he\u2019s the one who has an obnoxious air.\u201d<\/p>\n
