Had to say it......good show today.

Always a good show for talk radio, particularly a republican conservative station--we get all of the information and actually a discussion about the news.  The listener can understand all of the thoughts from callers on all sides of the issues.

The callers do not mind one bit calling in to disagree with Geraldo......okay, he can take it, give his idea, also, and no one is angry.

The listener is the winner.

Admiring Geraldo's loyalty.....talking about his friend former police comish, Bernie Kerik and his former lawyer, Joe Tacopina.

Geraldo feels Bernie was treated very poorly by this attorney to the degree he was an informant to the feds against his friend, Bernie.

Callers voiced their opinion on both sides.

Bernie Kerik is a fabulous addition to a radio show.....always listening to talk radio.......there are many people who like to know the take on current issues from the police department.

What makes the cops tick?

Bernie does a real good job of explaining things--security is an ever increasing issue in this day and age--how do the police do their job and what is the reason behind some of their actions.

Bernie does a good job of explaining things--his comments are easy to understand, he is willing to discuss a situation, and he has compassion for the public and most importantly for his fellow police officers.

The second hour we were treated to the very pleasant voice and talented talker, my girl, Rita Cosby.

Rita talks to everyone--agree or disagree--Rita listens, says her opinion and does not freak out.

The freak-out factor is not a part of Geraldo's show.

Right, what makes a good talk show--info and discussion--not O'Reilly screaming and shouting.

If O'Reilly would take a tip from Geraldo he would not have to constantly try to convince everyone he is "fair and balanced."

Okay, Bill, if you say so......I guess you only have yourself to convince at this point.

Geraldo, can you ask Bernie this question--what does he think of traffic officers wearing cameras.  This was suggested in San Diego after three recent incidents of police taking advantage of women on the road.

It's fun and interesting to hear Bernie's take on things.

Well done, Geraldo, Rita and Bernie...keep talking...Ronnie will be listening.

What do you think....comments welcome and appreciated....all sides accepted.

The Ronnie Republic Radio Round-Up with Rita Cosby

Have to say it.....Rita is good.......


Filling in for Geraldo Rivera this week on WABC New York.

Last week was very trying.....we had an angry man with wrong information.....that's never good is it.


Well, I guess WABC finally came to its senses and got some one in the same grain as their regular radio Rastafarian, Geraldo Rivera.

Rita Cosby, beautiful lady with a beautiful voice, talks to the callers, invites their opinions and, most importantly, does not freak out when they say something with an idea different from hers.

People, we have got to promote the political conversation--no one group or individual is ever all right or all wrong--even republicans.

Of course, Geraldo is the king of this radio magic....all of the big talkers call in and love to tell Geraldo everything on their mind....and all the New York neighbors call in, too.....as if they have been buddies with Geraldo forever.

This is refreshing in talk radio today--particularly on a right leaning station--it's a breath of fresh air to be cherished.

The radio should be free for everyone--a free distribution of news and information--opinion is fine, but not just one opinion.

Rita Cosby hits the nail on the head, too, and she would be the perfect fill-in until the return of Geraldo.

Where in the world is Geraldo Rivera--has he been taken hostage by Donald Trump.....is Geraldo fixing Donald's hair.

Will we ever know the answer to these questions........

Here's wishing the best to Geraldo and Rita---and missing the interesting insights from Bernie Kerik on Monday's with the Commish.

My question to Bernie--what is your take on police traffic officers wearing cameras in light of recent accusations of officers taking advantage of ladies on traffic stops---this was suggested in San Diego after three incidents.  The department was also taken over by Zimmerman--the first female chief of police in San Diego.

What do you think Bernie?

Where in the World is Geraldo Rivera

Seriously, the man who did his show today gave out false information......


What's up with that?

I guess everyone knows Geraldo is doing a show with the Donald but it's time for him to come back.

Yesterday the guy got real mad and purposely picked a fight with a real nice lady.....then today he tried to say President Obama never mentioned terrorism associated with the Benghazi incident.

Remember........Mitt Romney, Candy Crowley.......the debate.

Enough already with the yelling and bad information.

We want Geraldo.

Hello.......Geraldo.......are you out there......it's time to come home.

Mondays on Geraldo Radio with Bernie Kerik

Former NYPD Police Commish Bernie Kerik on the radio with Geraldo today.


Actually, Geraldo was not there today and Noam Laden very amply filled in to chat with the big man and Top Cop of New York about life on the street for a police man or woman.

It is always interesting to hear what  Bernie has to say--he does have a way to relate to the average person that is informative and enjoyable.  Seriously, I can understand what he is talking about and I know zip about the police.

He told of a story of people under his direction asking him to join them on Saturdays for breakfast and training on top of the Brooklyn Bridge.   As first, Bernie felt like it might not be appropriate or proper for him to join their company but after giving it some thought he felt like it might be respectful to acknowledge their request.  He ended up joining them and it turned out to be a day of mutual respect and admiration for both sides.  He added, "That was the best thing I could have done to show how I cared about the hard work of the individuals  and unsung heroes who work so hard every day and unnoticed for the NYPD."  Every day they do crazy things and put themselves in harms way for the citizens of New York and the average person does not realize what kind of things they are going through.


My son, fixing coffee, said that guy hates liberals, listening to Fran Tarkenton rail against the AARP.......but I said that even though this is a conservative station and Geraldo is a republican he does have people on from both sides and that is rare in radio today.....usually they are hard core dem or repub one way or the other.

That's the radio show of Geraldo and why I like it....I get to hear both sides and the people feel free to talk so the listener gets a lot of info....and that is my goal.

Trying to see what makes cops tick.....that is way beyond interesting info to me.  it is something I would really like to understand.

Thank you, Bernie, for taking time to tell us about the hard work and caring individuals that work on the police force.  That is great information for all of us to know.

Mondays with the Commish......a regular feature on Geraldo Radio......

WABC New York.....1000--1200 Eastern Time.......yes, it is a good show.

Geraldo Rivera: The Anti-O'Reilly of Fox News

Geraldo Rivera Calls O'Reilly Out

and rightly so.........

Grace being the operative word and Bill's lack there of.



Tonight on Bill O'Reilly's show, The Factor, on Fox News, Geraldo Rivera took Bill O'Reilly to task.

First, for trying to deny he called our President a community organizer from Chicago--right, instead of President of the United States, not to mention the very first African-American President of the United States and even more importantly his ultra aggressive premise in the interview.

Talking about his recent interview with our President Barack Obama prior to the Superbowl.

Geraldo told Bill  "he is the President of the United States filling the shoes equal to Abraham Lincoln and you did not show him respect."  You have to show respect to the office and the person in it.  Geraldo went on to say, "He is not the mayor of Hartford."

He explained, "I grew up in the civil rights era and this man has made great strides--you've got to acknowledge it."

Geraldo accurately stated, his demeanor, the way he leaned forward, the way he called him a community organizer from Chicago was incorrect and offensive.

It was disgusting--Bill is almost always disrespectful--he has a history of calling his guests by their last names.


Bill did not even bother to mention the accomplishments of our President.  Now, everyone has the access to health care, like all of the other sophisticated countries of the world--that was a giant accomplishment, Bill, and many are very appreciative, including myself.

Our President stood up for women to Rush Limbaugh.  President Obama stood up for violence against children and people of color when he talked abut Trayvon Martin.

There was something very ugly about O'Reilly interviewing President Obama.  It was his whole stance and demeanor....the way he was leaning forward in his chair and also the questions he asked. 

He is such a simple Simon...I could not believe he actually asked President Obama if the whole issue of race could just not be solved by education and parents staying in the home. 

Bill is divorced and President Obama is not.  Why? 

Bill is such a boob.  What woman would want to be married to an arrogant donkey doo-dad like that guy.  Women today do not have to put up with it because the women do have an education.  He was disrespectful to our President in a way that was almost sickening. 

The man is too arrogant--someday a mistake in that direction may cause him his job.  President Obama deserves an award for taking the higher ground and putting up with people like that. 

O'Reilly is so blind and full of himself he cannot even see the good things Barack Obama has accomplished. 

Bill has to grow up and see a larger world. 

I am embarrassed and angry by his interview attitude. 

If one listens to Bill carefully it does not take long to see what he is about--he is not really that careful about cloaking his actual thoughts even though he thinks he is fooling everyone.  

President Obama is a very big man and Bill is small and unattractive.

President Obama is a man with grace, O'Reilly is not.

Good job, Geraldo, good job tonight and thank you for that.

Geraldo Rivera is one of the few people who can stand up to O'Reilly without him going ballistic.  Geraldo has the unique ability to let people talk, even when he is in complete disagreement without going into anger mode.  His radio show is good--this is why.  All of the big talkers say their opinion and Geraldo keeps his cool.  This is a talent in conservative radio today.  Not to mention the New York callers think they are best friends with Mister G.

Here we go: Watching Geraldo on the Radio--Geraldo Radio New York

Watching Geraldo Rivera on the Radio--The Callers Love Geraldo


The people love Geraldo........

Listening to the radio all day....most of the day or watching the news.

Right, one must have distraction to do the dishes.

Never heard anything like it....is this just Geraldo or is it New York?

San Diego girl forever--we do not have this on our talk radio in SD.

The callers tell Geraldo what is on their mind....with gusto.

They have an enthusiasm....well, it is not on any other channel or radio station.

Geraldo can take it..........

Somehow, Geraldo can let the people get it off their chest....they're happy, he's happy and that's it!

There is no anger or resentment carried over.  Geraldo is not a mad man.....I guess he can take a disagreement without feeling personally offended.

Everyone talks to Geraldo.......

Some are very frustrated about the bridge--not hearing that degree of annoyance from the actual citizens who drive the thing every day on other outlets.  Geraldo says he spends 26 dollars a day just to cross it twice.  Our Coronado Bridge is free.  It must be very expensive to live in New York.

It was Howard Kurtz.....he said he really likes Fox and CNN, but Fox is smaller and he gets to do what he wants.

We got to hear the take of Alan Dershowitz on bridge-o-rama--another shoe may drop.

Ari Fleischer gave his input on the Robert Gates revs--no, he would not have talked.

Haley Barbour in full support of Chris Christie......

And the streaming was perfect on my chromebook--the streaming has improved every day.

Angry granny or big politicians--everyone is chatting with Geraldo.

Geraldo Watch Monday..Geraldo Sucessfully Defuses Ann Coulter

Geraldo Watch Monday..Geraldo Successfully Defuses Ann Coulter

Geraldo Rivera on his WABC morning radio show successfully defuses ticking time bomb and anti-girl girl Ann Coulter.

Yes, Ann was going on in her usual trumped up false facts and trying to stir up everyone into a dither only for her own self-promotion about abortion and Obama care.

Geraldo immediately sensed her outer-space antics and toned her down quick by politely saying I don't think so, Ann, and you might want to check your facts on that statement.  Geraldo actually said it twice--he was polite and soft-spoken yet did not let her go on with her tea-party fantasies.

Ann, women today want to have health care and we want to have a choice about when to have children.  We love children but we want a choice.  Because we want to have say so about our health and our child bearing decisions does not mean we are communists.

The cool thing about Obama care--health care and choice for all women, all lifestyles of women and economic levels--this is a good thing.

Thank you to President Obama and to Geraldo Rivera for not getting sucked in to this caustic dividing tea party bish bash.

The walking dead branch of the republican party lead by zombie queen an coulter, successfully defused by the Fox News token sane person, Geraldo Rivera.

Good luck to the repubs--just a tip...I'd take Chris Christie and lose the trumped tea party entourage to repub dead queen, ann, and cruz control ted...a little more towards center may lead the way to success.
