Geraldo....Donald Trump is always ridiculing the folks that have come to the US from Mexico and horribly talking about sending them back....I wonder if he would take the same tone with the folks in Europe fleeing Syria....would he like to send them back, as well....saying it has to be done to take back our country.
You see this is where Donald Trumps rhetoric is going to get him in trouble and why politicians talk the way they do.
They have so many different political situations in the world--changing daily--the words of the politicians and world leaders really matter........Donald just might want to take these things into consideration.
It would be interesting to see if he actually had a thoughtful answer to this political and strategic dilemma. He is constantly saying the US should stand up to the Middle East but let's see how he would realistically solve this important problem on the world stage without offending any groups of individuals or countries whose help we may need in the future.
This is a much more complex situation--just shouting insults will not fix it.
It has to be said.........
Congratulations are in order to Geraldo Rivera for calling out his friend Donald Trump on false accusations regarding the folks from Mexico coming over to the the United States for work.
On a daily basis Geraldo Rivera deserves credit for his compassion and world view towards working class families from areas with less opportunities than the US.
As usual, along with the other great radio interviewers, Geraldo is not afraid to talk about a situation and go back and forth with the facts with his guest. He is to be admired for acknowledging his friendship with the donald and his popularity but not being fearful of trumps potential for verbal punishment in a disagreement.
Good job, Geraldo, your intelligence as an interviewer and investigative reporter always shines through--Fox is lucky to have you.......perhaps you can school your cohort. Eric Bolling on world issues and what it means for the lives and welfare of workers everywhere to have a global vision.
Geraldo Rivera along with the very gifted Noam Laden can be heard on WABC news/talk radio every week day morning from 10-12 AM.

Geraldo to Trump: You’re wrong, boss, immigrant murder wave is factually false
In a wide-ranging interview with America’s most incendiary public figure, Donald Trump, the leading contender for the Republican nomination for the presidency of the United States and I had the following exchange Wednesday Sept. 2 on my WABC Radio show. One of the many issues my longtime friend and former “Celebrity Apprentice” boss and I covered was the candidate’s contention that there is an illegal immigrant – mostly Mexican – violent crime wave.
Trump: A lot of the gangs in Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis and Ferguson are illegal immigrants.
Geraldo: I think you’re wrong about that, boss. The crime wave we’re seeing is not a function of immigrants. It’s black on black.
Trump: In L.A. and Chicago you have tremendous [amounts of] illegal immigrants in gangs and they’re rough dudes.
Let me analyze Trump’s answer to this and other questions I asked.
Tapping into the primal fear many white Americans have about the “browning” of the nation, [Trump] has been catapulted to the front of the GOP pack. My dilemma is that after knowing Trump for so long, I believe he has been trapped by his own inflammatory rhetoric and his rabble rousing success into a position far harsher than necessary.
- Geraldo Rivera
Remorseless and violent, there is little doubt that long-established Latino gangs, many of whose “rough dudes” are indeed undocumented immigrants, have been a persistent problem for law enforcement in cities like Los Angeles and Chicago. Still, by a disproportionate percentage, the vast majority of big city murders in 2015 are homegrown, young black men killing other young black men from Compton to South Chicago to West Baltimore.
A black-owned business in Memphis sponsored my favorite billboard of the year. It says, "Black lives do matter, so let’s quit killing each other."
Memphis is our third most dangerous city proportionate to population. Heavily African-American, it shares that distinction with the others in America's top ten most deadly. They are, in order,
1-Detroit
2-Oakland
3-Memphis
4-St Louis
5-Cleveland
6-Baltimore
7-Milwaukee
8-Birmingham
9-Newark
10-Kansas City
2-Oakland
3-Memphis
4-St Louis
5-Cleveland
6-Baltimore
7-Milwaukee
8-Birmingham
9-Newark
10-Kansas City
The number of murders in 2015 jumped by 33 percent or more in Baltimore, New Orleans and St. Louis. These are all cities with few Latino immigrants, documented or otherwise.
Talk of an illegal alien murder wave is factually false.
It is always easier to blame the outsiders for what ails us. We are the problem. This is the inconvenient truth.
But back to Trump.
I have known and admired him for decades. He is a superb builder who has made decent neighborhoods out of urban blight, reinvigorated the sport of golf, and created clothing lines and television programs from scratch, earning multiple billions in the process. He is a great American and now he is running hard and well for the Republican nomination.
But he is scapegoating Latino immigrants.
His off-handed and deeply disparaging remarks made during his announcement speech about undocumented Mexican immigrants have made Trump the poster boy for the xenophobic, nativist, Ann Coulter wing of the Republican Party. His attacks on Jeb Bush for answering a question posed by a Latino reporter in Spanish were absurd. Still, there is no doubt that Trump’s message is resonating with many Republican primary voters.
Tapping into the primal fear many white Americans have about the “browning” of the nation, the billionaire businessman and reality television host has been catapulted to the front of the GOP pack. My dilemma is that after knowing Trump for so long, I believe he has been trapped by his own inflammatory rhetoric and his rabble rousing success into a position far harsher than necessary to make the points about the need for border security and a legal reckoning for the 11 plus million undocumented immigrants currently estimated to be living in the United States.
Geraldo: Do you believe that you could have made the same points without demonizing a whole race of people?
Trump: No, I don’t think so Geraldo, I really don’t. I think they are tough points; I think we have to make them tough. I think it has to be done properly, you need borders, I’m a believer in the wall; walls do work by the way. But I’m a believer in the wall and I have seen where people are pouring across the borders and big league, and I mean big league. What’s really coming across and going right back are drugs.
After I pointed out that a trillion-dollar wall could be defeated by a hundred-dollar ladder, our conversation turned to Mr. Trump’s outreach to the Hispanic business community.
Geraldo: You had a meeting yesterday with Javier Palomarez the CEO of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Did you meet with him first of all, because you wanted in some ways to communicate directly to the community to tell them how you feel about these issues and why [your feelings] may be more reasonable then how they are being portrayed?
Trump: Sure, he is the head of a large group … Hispanic businesses and that’s right up my line … And, by the way, the Hispanics are great entrepreneurs, the Mexicans are great entrepreneurs. Part of it is they work hard, have great energy and are great people. But I had my people reach out to him, he was happy about it. We had about an hour meeting and it was terrific. I think he was a terrific guy. We don’t agree on everything certainly but I think I agreed to do some kind of luncheon or whatever down in Washington, so I will get to inspect the Old Post Office (Trump’s new DC hotel project) as it goes up under budget and ahead of schedule. Unlike government, I am under budget and way ahead of schedule. Do you like that?
Geraldo: I do, but I want you to stay on point.
Trump: OK, but I get to check that while I go down. I like to do many things at one time, because he is having the meeting down in Washington. So, I will be going down at some point in October or whatever. I will go to Washington. That won’t be that easy a meeting because you’ll have hundreds of people and they will have constituents of his and they may disagree with me but ultimately we will all get along.
Finally, the candidate and I turned back to his deeply disturbing promise to eject all undocumented immigrants in the country.
Geraldo: But you’re talking about millions of otherwise law-abiding men, women and children, some kids born U.S. citizens. They are frightened to their core about things you’ve said about throwing them out. That’s a legacy you can’t have.
Trump: All I’m telling you is lighten up, it’s all going to work out. I’m telling you, I’m a great manager. And you know I’m reasonable, otherwise you couldn’t have come in second place on (Celebrity) Apprentice.
Geraldo: You’re very reasonable, that’s why I’m so shocked by some of this extreme language, it seems so unnecessary.
Trump: You’re going to find I have a big heart and I’m going to do it right. It’s not OK right now. Tremendous crime and those we’re getting out immediately, and you’re not fighting me on that.
Geraldo: I want the criminals out or in jail regardless of their race … but why doesn’t Trump, the charming, charismatic, original, successful [man I know], take the substance of what you want to accomplish for America and tone down the rhetoric, be the man that I know with an open heart, a practical idealist, who wants to accomplish what you did for yourself for the country. I think you can still say this is a problem, we need secure borders, let’s get the crooks and criminals out.
Trump: Geraldo, if I win, I’m doing pretty well.
Geraldo: You’re doing fabulous. I’m proud of you, everyone that loves you is proud of you.
Trump: A poll came out yesterday that I’m at 40 percent.
Geraldo: But why not ease off a little bit?
Trump: I have no objection to that at all. You know I have a big heart.
Geraldo: That’s why I want to take you to a Puerto Rican restaurant.
Trump: I would love that.

The Cat Who Read the Mail
by Elinor Donahue
"The Cat Who Read the Mail" sixteen amazing stories about our mysterious bond with animals Can a dog understand the grief and loss of 9/11? Can a cat expose a cheating husband? Can a research dog let his rescuer know he wants to be called 'Rexy"? Absolutely! And here are the stories to prove it. These are accounts of extraordinary interactions between people and pets. Stories that surprise, perplex and move us. But The Cat Who Read the Mail is not simply another collection of 'amazing" animal stories. Instead, animal writer and columnist Elinor Donahue explores the interaction between people and pets when it moves beyond amazing and becomes inexplicable, mysterious, profound. She's interviewed dozens of ordinary people who have anything but ordinary stories to tell.
Here, told in a lively, journalistic style, are the most compelling encounters with the unexpected through an animal. Samson the cat began chewing and ripping the mail - selecting only the mail addressed to the husband of the house. He'd then deposit the remains at the front door where the wife would see it when she came home. Samson was on to something. Annie, the 12-pound therapy dog at Ground Zero, gathered the gazes of a circle of bereaved men a few days after 9/11 - whereupon each of them spilled out, one by one, whom they lost there. 'My mother." 'My brother." 'My sister." When Malibu the dog died, her housemate cat, Whip, watched in fascination -- and the next day took on Malibu's daily habits, including opening the kitchen cabinets to forage for dog treats.
While each story in this entertaining and fast-reading book stands on its own, the narratives gather momentum as acollection, suggesting there is more mystery and meaning here than our limited vantage can account for. However, Donahue does not attempt to explain or interpret. She simply showcases these special pets and the ordinary people who have glimpsed the extraordinary because of them. The Cat Who Read the Mail offers 16 stories that, in quick and glancing style, suggest that animals are in on the play of the universe in ways beyond our imagining. Still, each episode is real and occurred in the ordinary life of a grounded human being. The people in these stories never expected or sought the unexplainable event they experienced. Donahue has interviewed each of these individuals in depth, selecting the most compelling stories. Like Joel, the optometrist who dealt only in rational fact. He wasn't expecting that an eerie howl from the cat would precede the apparition of Baxter, his recently deceased dog. And a renowned dog trainer found that indeed it matters what you call your dog. When it hears the name it really wants, like 'Jazz," the animal will respond far more readily than when the moniker is a misfit, like 'Daisy." Though not sentimental heart warmers, these are stories for the good. That is their power. These occurrences can't be explained-and because of that they make their way into the crevices in our thinking. They take us to the moment of inswept breath-the aha! that catches us unaware. And they're fun to read!

Roland Martin Calls Out Bill O'Reilly
Bill O'Reilly self-absorbed with his own brand of Catholic guilt.......it even might be more accurate to use the terms of limited social mobility or poverty to describe certain situations that exist in out country, but after watching Bill O'Reilly carefully choose his words and statistics to make his point for several years one may also want o apply the label of racist to his nightly rant.

Roland Martin: Bill O’Reilly Should 'Shut The Hell Up' About #BlackLivesMatter
"I don’t recall you, Bill O’Reilly, ever saying that you’re going to take out police brutality."
Posted: 09/03/2015 07:30 AM EDT
Fox News has been branding the Black Lives Matter movement as a "hate group" and a "murder movement" -- and TV One's Roland Martin isn't having it.
The host lashed out at Bill O'Reilly, who on Monday called the Black Lives Matter movement a hate group and promised to put them "out of business."
"I don’t recall you, Bill O’Reilly, ever saying that you’re going to take out police brutality … but all of a sudden you want to take out the Black Lives Matter movement because you don’t like the fact that they’re out there protesting,” Martin said Wednesday on TV One.
He went on to say he'd be happy to debate O'Reilly or Fox News host Megyn Kelly on their respective shows, and concluded that O'Reilly should "shut the hell up!"
Fox News has been on a crusade against the Black Lives Matter movement since the network ran an onscreen banner during Monday night's episode of "Fox & Friends" referring to it as a "murder movement."
The station's hosts appear to put some blame on the movement for the death of Deputy Darren Goforth of Harris County, Texas, who was fatally shot while pumping gas in a Houston suburb on Friday night. Goforth was white, and the man who police believe killed him, Shannon Miles, is black.
That said, O'Reilly has been against the movement for months. Let's not forget the time hecompared Black Lives Matter to the Gestapo.
But hey, Fox News' ratings were off the charts last month.
