During my half a century in public life, my image and reputation
have had more ups and downs than the Cyclone roller coaster at
Coney Island. I have been called savior and sinner, fool and wise
man, crusader and exploiter, hothead and dope. I am routinely
scorned, admired, beloved, and belittled-which one is usually based
on when the viewer tuned in. Were you around for my early days as a
crusading local newsman? Did you waste an evening with me inside Al
Capone's empty vault? Were you watching when the bombs dropped in
Afghanistan or Iraq, or did you tune in to the raucous talk show
when my nose was broken in the best television studio brawl ever
caught on tape? Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, and my
employment by the conservative rabble-rousers of Fox News-and, more
recently, with the coming of the Age of Trump-my professional life
has been even more difficult to define. How could a sincerely
progressive native-born Jew-Rican New Yorker like me ever work for
an outfit better suited to the vibes of Orange County, California,
the Dixie, Appalachia, or the Mountain West? How could I not
condemn and obstruct a wrecking ball like Donald Trump? Over five
decades, I have met most of the era's good and bad guys, from
Ronald Reagan to Charles Manson, Fidel Castro to Yasser Arafat,
Muhammad Ali to John Lennon, and Elvis Presley to Michael Jackson.
Two figure heavily in this book, both longtime friends: Roger
Ailes, the disgraced yet undeniably brilliant creator of Fox News;
and Donald Trump, once a flamboyant playboy, billionaire
businessman, and now 45th President of the United States. At the
vigorous twilight of a long and largely improvised life lived in
plain sight, I have little left to prove. Faced with a series of
random chances, for better and worse, what I made of my life is
what I made of those chances. Time has enlightened and humbled me.
Sincerely, Geraldo Rivera
General
