Geraldo Rivera The Podcast
With access to high-level movers and shakers in politics and government, and deep experience covering the real worlds of war, crime and terrorism, Geraldo Rivera reports from countless locations around the nation and the world, a twice weekly, half hour program filled with drama, passion and surprises.

With shows originating from home base in New York City, I will entertain, inform, shock, outrage and occasionally scandalize.
Episodes
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 hi...
Geraldo gives his legal argument on the first son's encounter with the Russian attorney during his father's Presidential campaign.
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 senten...
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.
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 vet...
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 W...
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…...
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. Somethi...
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 th...

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 G...
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...
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.
Geraldo talks about defeating NYC gridlock with his bike, Broadway play Sunday In The Park with George and how the White House press briefing has become must see TV. As Press Secretary Sean Spicer navigates Russia-Gate, he evolves and even self mocks, channeling Melissa McCarthy's SNL skit threatening to chase reporters with his podium when they critique President Trumps tweet boasting 230,000 new jobs. Things get testy though w...
Geraldo examines Obamacare. Are the Republicans in a jam? Is their idea of repeal and replace too slanted toward helping folks who don’t need it? And what about the new Travel ban? Will the new version pass the smell test about banning Muslims? WikiLeaks is preparing their largest dump ever. Who’s looking at you through your smart devices? Finally, if Trump’s phones were tapped who ordered it? The intel community denies they were...
Geraldo praises 45’s remarkable speech to Congress as his best to date in terms of manner, tone and substance. It was the speech he should have given at his inauguration. Geraldo speaks about the mission in which Ryan Owens lost his life, has a beef with it called Highly successful considering civilian casualties, the loss of a $75 million dollar aircraft not to mention Ryan’s life, and compares the impact of that mission to Opera...
President Trump goes off on Fake News at CPAC. Geraldo looks at the danger of Press Secretary Sean Spicer's selective press briefing, and ensuing boycott by major news publications; sends condolences to dearly departed colleagues Alan Combs and Brenda Burner and compliments the Presidential Cabinet's handling of the immigration crisis despite the angry rhetoric.
As President Trump’s Executive order on immigration goes into effect, Geraldo talks about how we came to this point. The border becoming an issue after 9/11, outrage when two pretty teenage girls were killed in a 2007 DUI crash by an undocumented immigrant in Virginia Beach prompting his emotional debate with Factor host Bill O’Reilly over sanctuary cities and his book “HisPanic: Why Americans Fear Hispanics in the U.S.” And Gerald...
