Geraldo discusses the misplaced comparison of Russiagate and Watergate; the dust up between CNN’s Jim Acosta and President Trumps senior Policy Advisor Stephen Miller over their heated back exchange in the White House. Miller had a hard time proving that a new immigration bill is not discriminatory, does not violate the Constitution or what the Statue of Liberty stands for. Geraldo also has some sound advise on how POTUS can get his poll numbers up.

EP25 - Russiagate Not Watergate, and ‘It’s Miller Time’ With Stephen Miller an Anti-Immigration Thug?

Geraldo gives his legal argument on the first son's encounter with the Russian attorney during his father's Presidential campaign.

EP24 - The best legal analysis of the Donald Trump Jr. saga.

Geraldo call on the war between President Trump to cool it. The news should be focused on the Putin/Trump meeting. The hatred of Trump by traditional media palpable and is having an opposite result. Rasmussen Polls now have his approval ratings in the 50’s. And, OJ Simpson is up for Parole this month and we will be covering it. Now locked up in Lovelock Security Center in Nevada, Simpson has been a model prisoner since being sentenced to up to 33 Years for Armed Robbery of memorabilia. This was a rinky dink robbery. Geraldo thinks he got away with murder in the case of his wife Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, but that is another story. Condolences to the and family of 48-year-old mother of three, Police officer Miosotis Famillia. The NYPD officer who was assassinated in her patrol vehicle. Kudos to cops everywhere. We need to hear from Black Lives Matter and Rev Al Sharpton denouncing the shooting.

EP23 - President Trump at war with the press, OJ Simpson up for parole and condolences to NYPD and family of slain officer Miosotis Famillia.

Geraldo suggests the left and right forego extremes and have the center come up with a health care bill we all can agree on. And why are CNN, NYT and WAPO unrelenting in their hostility toward President Trump? Russia-gate. So far, so little. Cheering on the Russian’s during the election may have been in bad taste for the Trump candidacy, but that does not equate to collusion. To make such a big deal is disheartening.

EP22 - Back from June Weddings and Graduations to Bipartisan battles over Health Care and Polarized coverage of Trump.

Geraldo talks about the monumental buildup to former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Thursday. Will it lay out a case for obstruction or just embarrass the President? And what about this Reality Winner? Is that really her name? How did this 25-year-old hard left activist leaker get a job with access to intelligence? Doesn’t the NSA monitor Facebook? Why wasn’t she properly vetted? She probably got her job with the intent to steal and embarrass her government. Geraldo also asks if Kathy Griffin should be federally prosecuted for threatening to harm the President, whether Bill Cosby will escape prosecution and how can we stop these Loan Wolf attacks.

EP21 - D-Day, Comey Testimony, Terror attacks and CNN’s obsession with Trump.

On a blustery Memorial Day Geraldo comes across NYPD divers at the Liberty Park Marina where they were investigating a tragic parachuting accident on the Hudson River. Navy Seal Remington Peters fell to his death during a Memorial Day demonstration with his Leap Frog skydiving team. RIP Remington Peters and all Veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. What about the embarrassing DUI arrest of Golfing Legend Tiger Woods. No alcohol was detected but his car was heavily damaged and police say he was confused and unsteady during sobriety test. The Puerto Rican Day parade is mired in controversy over the selection of former FALN terrorist Oscar Lopez Rivera. Upon serving 35 years for the fatal bombing of Frances Tavern, outgoing President Obama pardoned Rivera. Major donors dropped out of the parade when he was selected Grand Marshal by local politicians. Geraldo also talks Trump and Hannity.

EP20 - Geraldo’s Memorial Day, details of Tiger Woods DUI, Beleaguered President Trump, Hannity and the Puerto Rican Day Parade.

 President Trump has to stop with the self inflected wounds. In this podcast Geraldo talks about the President’s inability so far to stop providing a hostile media with ammo to attack him. The rookie mistakes are piling up for this administration largely due to an unedited, undisciplined dialog through tweets and comments contradicting his own staff on the biggest stories of the day. The latest Faux pa… sharing highly sensitive information about terrorist activities with Russian diplomats just days after getting lambasted for firing FBI director James Comey in light of the agency’s investigation into Russian ties to the Trump campaign. “I  don't think he is in over his head, he can handle the job, but he needs to go a couple days without a scandal. You can’t make it up as you go along.” In this episode we discuss calls for Impeachment, State Secrets, Sean Spicer, SNL and the relentless attacks on the President and his staff. 

EP19 - President Trump Needs a Restart.

 The brilliant Harvard Professor, author and Legal Legend Alan Dershowitz is my guest, along with other legal legends and great friends Gerald Shargel and Arthur Aidala join me for a boat ride on The Hudson Rivera. Among other things Dershowitz talks about refusing a request by then President Obama to disinvite ‘that Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera’ to a party Alan was hosting at his Martha’s Vineyard home. Something President Trump would never do. Dershowitz also gives his surprising report card on President Trump’s 100 plus days in office. Shargel and Aidala weigh in on The President, and other issues for a spirited debate. And Arthur Aidala get an endorsement by all of us to serve as the next U.S. Attorney for the eastern district of the United States. 

EP18 - Boating with Legal Legends on The Hudson River

Geraldo talks about the history and significance of the Cinco de Mayo celebration and how in some communities the holiday was over shadowed due to concern authorities might use the occasion to target undocumented Mexicans. In South Philly the ‘Carnival de Puebla’, was cancelled because organizers feared ICE raids. Geraldo compliments the President’s Art of the Deal success in pushing through the Obamacare repeal bill, but wishes these winning tactics could be used for more positive accomplishments.

EP17 - Cinco de Mayo in the age of Trump

 Layoff Ivanka Trump! Geraldo discusses the appalling treatment of the First Daughter of the United States during her appearance at the round table on the empowerment of women at the invitation of German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Having spent time with Ivanka during the production of Celebrity Apprentice, Geraldo saw firsthand her poise and intelligence and she did not deserve to be booed by the audience. “If you have a problem with POTUS then take it up with him.”  Geraldo also talks about the lame protests over Sanctuary Cities. They are not a sanctuary for criminals to hide from the law and should not be characterized that way by critics. Geraldo also talks about what’s going on at the Fox News Channel.

EP16 - The Wall, Sanctuary Cities and Ivanka Trump

 Geraldo responds to Kendrick Lamar’s new album ‘DAMN’ where the popular rapper appears to be throwing shade on his third song “YAH.”  The second verse, Lamar names Fox News and Rivera directly: “Fox News wanna use my name for percentage/My latest news in my niece, she’s worth livin/See me on the TV and scream ‘That’s Uncle Kendrick!’/Yeah that’s the business/Somebody tell Geraldo this n*gga got some ambition.”  This is no doubt a response to Geraldo’s critique of Lamar’s 2015 BET Awards performance with cop killer lyrics “We hate po-po/Wanna kill us dead in the street fo sho”  standing atop a vandalized police car with the American in the background.    At the time Geraldo said on ‘The Five’: “this is why I say that hip-hop has done more damage to young African Americans that racism in recent years…. It is so wrong, it is so counterproductive, it gives exactly the wrong message.”  Lamar plays the clip on his second song DNA.  Geraldo discusses his opinion of the song, the artist and where he stands today,.  Listen to the clips.

EP15 - Geraldo Rivera takes on rapper Kendrick Lamar’s new Album ‘DAMN’

 Geraldo discusses the disturbing incident of Dr. David Dow being dragged off the United airlines flight, the stressful atmosphere created in airports and the greed and stupidity of airlines in general and the lame apology by the company CEO. Geraldo also discusses the disturbing language used by Attorney General Jeff sessions regarding the immigration crack down, Trump's condemnation and military action resulting from Syria has attack on their own citizens and Tillerson's bold move in Russia and the latest on Russiagate.

EP14 - Screw You United Airlines

Geraldo calls for a full investigation of the Syrian gas attack to determine if the Assad regime should be prosecuted for War Crimes. If Assad is responsible for this atrocity, he should be hunted down, tried for murder and hung if found guilty. Steve Bannon is out and none too soon, as he is likely to be the architect of Trump’s acerbic start as the 45th President. He is more professional and organized with Jared and Ivanka. And Geraldo responds to posted comments and questions.

EP13 - You Break It You Own It

Geraldo catches up on the latest Russia Gate news. After lengthy vacation that included skiing in Colorado and a visit with 98-years-young- mom in Sarasota he looks at the latest breaking developments including General Michael Flynn’s request for immunity. As Donald Trump said in the past about HRC "if you’re not guilty of a crime why would you ask for immunity?" Now the shoe is on the other foot. What does the request for immunity from prosecution mean? Did Flynn lie to the FBI? And what is the story with Devon Nunes?  Is he investigating Russian meddling in the Presidential elections or is does he think his job is to defend Trumps White House.  Does the House Intel committee have any credibility? That and more on this episode.

EP12 - It’s never the crime. It's always the coverup.

Geraldo discusses MSNBC Host Rachel Maddow's hype over President Donald Trump's 2005 tax returns. Rachel Maddow takes over the mantle of Al Capone's vault with empty claims of a block buster reveal. We compare Maddow's critique of Geraldo's Coverage during the leaked "open mic" scandal with Access Hollywood's Bill Bush.

EP11 - Rachel Maddow's empty vault.
