Frank Rich talks a Wake Up Call for Liberals on The Joan Hamburg Show

Always listening to the radio on The ronnie Republic Radio round-Up.......

Seriously, Joan Hamburg always gives one the idea they need to visit new York immediately for the food lovers, show goers and just plain having a good time.

After listening to Joan talk with Joanne Oppenheim about her new book The Knish War on Rivington Street I felt like I had to run right over to DZ Akins Deli and enjoy their specialties.....I love this food. This is really one of the besst restaurants in San Diego.

Frank Rich talked with Joan about his wake up call for liberals--it was an impressive conversation about the perils of donald trump.

If you enjoy cooking Sam Sifton always has holiday tips for getting through Thanksgiving in an easier way and Joan's Ritz Cracker stuffing is lovely--it is not difficult to follow the recipe and it is a dish one can count on for flavor and being holiday-ish--it is dependable.

The NYT is one of the best organized cooking sites out there and it is not confusing. It is a good go-to for basics.

Thanks, Joan, love your show--planning my trip to DZ Akins and New York.

A holiday tip from the cat hair cook......

Tyler Florence Holiday Feast--delicious and do-able--If I can cook it anyone can.

Noam Laden: Anchoring the Anchors at WABC Radio New York

He takes the friendly common sense approach but his opinion and back up are always welcome at WABC Radio New York.

Listening to Noam Laden every morning as Geraldo Rivera's on air partner and newscaster his presence and voice easily smooths out any possible hint of a dust up between the hosts, today he is with my man Larry Mendte, and the callers.

Well, it has to be a show, it has to be interesting, right--Geraldo has that down to a science but when the heat starts to rise on Geraldo Street Noam is right in there to say the facts and give an equal voice to all of the opinions.

Noam Laden usually agrees with Geraldo Rivera but he also has no problem confidently voicing his opinion, as well--he is not worried about sharing a completely opposite idea from the host--the brilliant thing about Noam--his ability to say something without being offensive.

How does he share his honest views without creating anger--only if we could all do that.........

Noam Laden effortlessly fills in for Geraldo, respectfully interviews the callers and holds the reins for his own show discussing the news topics of the day.

Often said by The Ronnie Re......why not use home grown talent--the talent on hand, Noam Laden as opposed to less-prepared guest hosts. The shouters usually have to be turned off--much rather listen to Noam than an angry shouter with incorrect facts just bashing our President.

Particularly appreciated are Noam's views about Israel and Palestine. Always trying to understand the conflict in the Middle East--past and present--Noam often gives us his first hand experience about the situation since he has friends and relatives that actually live there.

It would be so valuable if Noam and Geraldo would do a Israel-Paestine History show because when they start talking in layman's terms they have a good way of letting the listener understand the current situation.

At the end of the day, Noam Laden and Geraldo Rivera run a good show because while they say their own opinion they are not afraid to discuss the opposite view and why it is there--the listener is the winner because we have the facts, the reasons why and we can form our own stance.

Thanks, Noam, well done and good job on the radio.

Now, Larry is talking......I love Larry Mendte, too because he continues to be my Facebook friend after I bashed him so bad over Hillary. What more can you ask for.....he welcomes my comments. Call me Karl Rove but it is the political conversation that moves things forward.

The unfortunate thing....Larry is wrong and I've got to let him know.......

1. Chris Christie is a dynamic political figure--at first he was attractive because it seemed like he was honest and was saying to the citizens of New Jersey "I've got your back."

Now Chris Christie is only seen as a bully--he has shown his true self. He will never receive the financial backing now to run against Hillary Clinton because he will be perceived as a bully and that will only pave the way to the White House for his female contender.

2. As far as the nurse returning from Africa Christie wanted to quarantine against the threat of spreading Ebola. Christie does not know what he is talking about. Let him get the facts from the CDC......the science is on the side of the nurse.....Christie is basically running for president. Let him find out the facts and the science behind them next time before he makes a spectacle of himself.

Geraldo Rivera Calls Out Chris Christie: Paving The Road to The Whitehouse for Hillary Clinton

2.9.11ChrisChristieTownHall--shouting,big and scary

Bill O'Reilly angry and shouting
an unattractive trait

Geraldo Rivera--cute, happy and unafraid

Official photographic portrait of US President...

US President Barack--cute and funny--good President

Chris Christie recently shouting at a councilman asking him about unused funds for Hurricane Sandy Relief.......

Thanks, Chris, your just paving the road to the White House for my girl Hillary Clinton.

Man, those rough words....no woman wants to hear that--especially any one who has endured any kind of domestic violence--

Mad men shouting--your just echoing OJ Simpson now--and we know what can happen next.

No, there is not a suggestion that Chris Christie is a violent man--but shouting in the style of OJ is a quick flash to a memory of violence that can easily take place following the verbal abuse.

It can be a punch in the wall or maybe something will get wrecked--something you like--or maybe the punch will be at you. No--that kind of shouting are remembrances of a scary situation....for some people--maybe not for everyone.

Mad men shouting......Goodbye Chris Christie......Hello, Jeb Bush......

Geraldo Rivera called him out today on his WABC Radio Show.....does this angry aggression really do anything for the Republican Party--for someone thinking about a run for the White House?

Geraldo Rivera, the one thinking Republican, also praised President Obama for the continued up sweep of the economy with recent figures emerging about the best economic scenario in the past 14 years. Geraldo also told us that this is momentum for employers to keep hiring.

Often Geraldo Rivera will complain about the President but the hallmark of his show is to give credit where credit is due and he feels that the economy fueled by the actions of Barack Obama deserve a thumbs up and "good job, well done."

This New York News/Talk Jay said "I think this is the reason for our ratings that are going sky high."

The Ronnie Republic hopes Geraldo will say these words to O'Reilly who digs up dirt on President Obama each evening and tries to call it news.

That is the difference between Geraldo Rivera, his WABC Radio Show with his partner Noam Laden, and The Factor or Fox News with Bill O'Reilly.

No, Geraldo is not afraid--he is not afraid of the caller to have a different opinion--to chat about new ideas--and let people form their own opinion.

Geraldo is not afraid to let us think--O'Reilly prefers we think his shouting with clenched fist ideas are what we should spit back as the public. Too bad O'Reilly is so often wrong as he tries to pick and choose that facts.

Also, Bill, that's not what we are calling news, now.

Good job, Geraldo and Noam, and thanks for standing up for women. Violence against women is a bad scene--it runs in a family--bad for the kids, the wife the husband and everyone involved.

Chris Christie's harsh remarks are an engraved invitation for Hillary to take the presidency in 2016.

That over-the-top angry shouting--bad move for someone thinking about running against a woman.......Hello Hillary Clinton.....Hello Jeb Bush.

Congratulations to Geraldo Rivera and Noam Laden for their fantastic success and well-deserved high rating on WABC Radio New York.

from the Ronnie Republic Radio Round-Up: Judge Andrew Napolitano Sits In For Geraldo and Does a Pretty Good Job

WABC Radio New York......

So here is the age old question....is the radio talk show format about a political discussion and finding out new information or is it only about the opinions of the host no questions asked......

The man in for Geraldo today........he did a pretty good job.

This was Judge Napolitano from the Fox Network.

Of course, he was not as good as Rita Cosby who I was hoping for in Geraldo's absence and he was not as good as Geraldo but he still ran an interesting show, did not shout or yell or get angry and conducted a political discussion.

Not really agreeing with the Judge or Fox News on most issues but still anxious to hear his opinion and why......he is against stop and frisk and Geraldo is for stop and frisk so the conversation was informational and fun from the listeners point of view.

It is always fun to hear about New York since their issues are slightly different from the rest of the country due to their size and tourist attraction--something is always going on there and the big political radio talkers are there, too.

Judge Napolitano gave his views on stop and frisk and he also had on his show a guest to give his reasons for a strong opposition.

Not really understanding the issues of New York City or stop and frisk it is a real learning experience when we get to hear an in-depth study from both sides.....in-depth for a radio show, that is. He let the callers give their ideas without interruption.

Seriously, the show was entertaining and enjoyable.......more than the angry , Clinton bashing individual they had on Monday morning.

Actually, Noam Laden conducts a great talk show on his own.....they should just let Noam fill in when Geraldo and Rita are not available.....particularly instead of the angry incorrect shouting man.

Good job, Judge, we will be listening for your tomorrow.

From the desk of the Ronnie Republic Radio Round-Up.....hey, what is your best radio show.....who do you listen to for your info and why.......
