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

June 28, 2017 23:11 - 30 minutes - 42.4 MB

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.

June 07, 2017 21:41 - 37 minutes - 52.3 MB

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 em...

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 latest Faux pa… sharing highly sensitive information about terrorist activities with Russian diplomats ju...

April 14, 2017 23:15 - 17 minutes - 24.9 MB

April 05, 2017 16:00 - 44 minutes - 61.7 MB

If Assad is responsible for this atrocity, he should be hunted down, tried for murder and hung if found guilty.

And Geraldo responds to posted comments and questions.

Finally, if Trump’s phones were tapped who ordered it? The intel community denies they were listening. Can Geraldo go on Trump Thumb Patrol?

Arrested when she checked in with her parole officer as she had done since 2008 for the minor offense of using a fake social security number in order to provide for her family. Are these arrest...
