Can’t. Wait. Will Michelle’s name come up? Probably. Will Geraldo sob uncontrollably at the plight of Elvira Arellano? Possibly. Will Laura goof on him mercilessly for his idiotic “immigrationism” defense? All we can do is hope, my friends. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. Anything less than a full nuclear exchange will be disappointing.
We’ll have the audio afterwards. Laura’s producer told us yesterday that it was set for 10:30 but a reader who sounds like he’s listening to the show this morning e-mailed a few minutes ago to say it’s 11:30. If you want to listen live, tune in at both times to be safe. WYSL in Rochester broadcasts her show over the web; consider this an open thread for the program.
Update: The reader e-mails again to say he had it wrong. Sounds like it is indeed 10:30.
Update: I’ll have an embedded clip in a bit, but in the meantime here’s the mp3. The bad news: He didn’t give her one straight answer. The good news: She played the “immigrationism” clip!
Update: Here’s the embedded audio. And here’s the perfect news complement.

I think his mustache is an anchor baby.
congsan on August 20, 2007 at 10:01 AM
I think he has three illegal families living under that mustache.
moonsbreath on August 20, 2007 at 10:04 AM
It takes a special kind if idgit to go up against Laura or Michelle .They have facts and precedent, the GR tool only has bluster and ,well, pretty much nothing after that.
Mincemeat he will be.
bbz123 on August 20, 2007 at 10:09 AM
I think he craves and enjoys this attention and I hate to give him any. Fox hired him because he’s an attention-hound and inflames viewers. They could have accomplished the same thing with topless anchors but aren’t allowed.
JiangxiDad on August 20, 2007 at 10:11 AM
It is painfully obvious that Whore-aldo does not cherish America like he should. I am not questioning his patriotism, I am stating categorically that he has none for the U.S. If he has allegiance to a country it is not this one!
TheSitRep on August 20, 2007 at 10:12 AM
What a Wonderful Monday morning treat.
I’m sitting here with the radio volume turned way up so I won’t miss a word.
Viva e Laura!

Will Geraldo be on remote live from Tijuana?
JammieWearingFool on August 20, 2007 at 10:16 AM
His allegiance is not to any one country but to all latinos. His dream is to turn America into a hispanic majority so he can become the brown version of Al Sharpton.
Paul the American on August 20, 2007 at 10:16 AM
Maybe Geraldo has read something that has educated him over the weekend and he’s ready to take her on? Naaaah. More likely, the only preparation he engages in is waxing his moustache so that the tears flow smoothly.
windbag on August 20, 2007 at 10:21 AM
The wonders of “multi-culturalism.” Geraldo chooses “Hispanic” over “American.” He’s not alone. It’s what he was taught to do, and where he found a home.
In the West, we’re no longer united by nationality or strong religious beliefs. That vacuum gets exploited by just about anybody, from Johnny Cochran to the Ayatollah Khomeini.
JiangxiDad on August 20, 2007 at 10:22 AM
MM’s remarks are inflammatory, Whore-aldo?
Puhleaze.

It’s right after this break – 10:35 or so EST.
TheBigOldDog on August 20, 2007 at 10:35 AM
Geraldo is late
Valiant on August 20, 2007 at 10:36 AM
Taped clip. Geraldo is late according to Laura.
Just a thought though… Maybe the people who broke the law are responsible for the situation.. nahhh
trubble on August 20, 2007 at 10:38 AM
He’s on now.
Valiant on August 20, 2007 at 10:38 AM
He’s on now… 10:38
Nineball on August 20, 2007 at 10:38 AM
He’s already full of it. I’ve been complaining about illegal aliens for over 20 years. Even in my most liberal post student days, I say it as a huge problem.
Blake on August 20, 2007 at 10:40 AM
It’s getting good now… He says that he doesn’t want to fight w/ Laura. :-)
Nineball on August 20, 2007 at 10:42 AM
Geraldo wants us to cool our jets and doesn’t like Laura’s tone.
Valiant on August 20, 2007 at 10:42 AM
Well, clearly they have a great deal of respect for law.
When it suits them.
trubble on August 20, 2007 at 10:44 AM
Oh, he’s lying about the statistics. Once upon a time, illegal aliens did commit less crime and paid bills in cash, etc., because they were worried about getting deported. But, that was 25 years ago! They don’t worry about it anymore. It has changed.
Lose argument; start crying.
Blake on August 20, 2007 at 10:45 AM
LOL… He says “Laura, why are you insulting me?”
Nineball on August 20, 2007 at 10:45 AM
Which, by the way, she isn’t. She is merely making a point, and he can’t refute her point…
Nineball on August 20, 2007 at 10:45 AM
ROTFL
Valiant on August 20, 2007 at 10:46 AM
Yup, only kicked out once!
trubble on August 20, 2007 at 10:46 AM
Geraldo playing the victim. Nauseating.
TheBigOldDog on August 20, 2007 at 10:46 AM
She asked him if he wanted a crying towel…LOL!
He’s acting like she’s PMSing bc of her tone. Jackass.
Miss_Anthrope on August 20, 2007 at 10:47 AM
Laura mentions MM… wondering why Geraldo attacks her.
Nineball on August 20, 2007 at 10:48 AM
He’s refusing to answer her questions.

Pah!
Miss_Anthrope on August 20, 2007 at 10:49 AM
Laura stands up for MM!
Valiant on August 20, 2007 at 10:49 AM
Typical Lib. Filibustering, avoiding answering the questions, and then claiming he isn’t being allowed to speak and that he’s being personally attacked. Lib Handbook ver 1.0
TheBigOldDog on August 20, 2007 at 10:49 AM
Geraldo’s Al Gore moment: He “invented covering the MS-13 story!”
Michelle on August 20, 2007 at 10:51 AM
Laura…will you marry me?
Sgt. Khe Sahn
1GooDDaDDy on August 20, 2007 at 10:51 AM
Well, Geraldo didn’t answer any direct question. He completely went off on tangents…

Dog, that’s Chapter One, Paragraph One, Verses One through Four.
Miss_Anthrope on August 20, 2007 at 10:51 AM
Talk about avoiding answering her questions, he’s a master at it!
Laura: are the stories about Natalee Holloway, et. al, more important then the recent crime wave committed by illegal aliens?
Gerry: Why are you attacking me?
LOL!
rightside on August 20, 2007 at 10:51 AM
Yeah, I thought of Al Gore when I heard Geraldo say that too Michelle… haha
Nineball on August 20, 2007 at 10:52 AM
Totally worthless segment, other than to remind us (like we need it) that Whore-aldo will never argue the issue.
Miss_Anthrope on August 20, 2007 at 10:52 AM
Laura: Why are you attacking my friend Michelle Malkin?
Geraldo: She’s your friend????
LOL
LB - the one that isn't LaShawn Barber on August 20, 2007 at 10:52 AM
That was a waste of time. Nothing got discussed.
The only thing I learned from this segment is Geraldo is a filibustering maroon (which I already knew).

He came on to NOT answer questions! Clear and Present Mustache-
AJ @ Ingraham Show on August 20, 2007 at 10:55 AM
Geraldo wussed out and didn’t answer a single question or stick around for callers. Quite a disappointment though Laura did the best that could be done.
Valiant on August 20, 2007 at 10:56 AM
“The Stashe” is just a big sissy.

1GooDDaDDy on August 20, 2007 at 10:58 AM
I’m at work and couldn’t listen. Did he whine about the gal getting locked up who was hiding in the church for so long?
conservnut on August 20, 2007 at 10:58 AM
He put Laura on the defensive….he made it personal.
Tru2my2 on August 20, 2007 at 10:58 AM
People here know what it’s like to be a party of one- a real minority in a F***in sea of LIBS. Whorealdo as you call him took the easy way out. It was hard to be just Gerry, without a posse. He will NEVER give that up. That’s why he will never argue the issue. Then he will have to stand alone like so many of us in the formerly silent majority, now minority.
JiangxiDad on August 20, 2007 at 10:59 AM
Not that I heard. But I was multitasking here at work and I might have missed it.
Nineball on August 20, 2007 at 11:00 AM
The link to the actual video for the Ted Hayes interview referenced above is here
TheBigOldDog on August 20, 2007 at 11:01 AM
The subject never came up.

1GooDDaDDy on August 20, 2007 at 11:02 AM
Totally agree…if you stand on principle, you may stand alone but you can look in the mirror. In the long run, you find others like you.
Whorealdo just wanted to be popular, and wanted to take the easy route to find a group. He’s made his bed & just HATES that we’re making him lie in it.
Miss_Anthrope on August 20, 2007 at 11:09 AM
Oh, FYI, JiangxiDad -
I should’ve placed an emphasis on the ‘like we need it’ since I meant we didn’t need it here.
Miss_Anthrope on August 20, 2007 at 11:11 AM
Disaponting I am ready to hear him cry.
conservnut on August 20, 2007 at 11:15 AM
LOL! Laura is poking fun at Geraldo for saying that he invented covering the MS13 story.
Geraldo is such a buffoon.
Nineball on August 20, 2007 at 11:16 AM
Can’t AP just ban Geraldo?
JiangxiDad on August 20, 2007 at 11:21 AM
What I heard:
Q. “What do you mean by ‘immigrationism’?”
A. “Why are you attacking me, you mean, rightwing nut? I invented ms-13 coverage! I went to Iraq, for heaven’s sake!”
followed by a very interesting story about a guy who came to this country with a deer on his shoulder. Or something like that.
redzap on August 20, 2007 at 11:23 AM
I wonder what would happen if an interviewer actually told geraldo( small first letter intentional) to shut up and answer the damn question or say to him, you’re a stinking liar and then prove why he is the same. I mean, isn’t that how the left handles interviews with conservatives? Except, of course, that liberals wouldn’t support their statements with facts like we would.
MNDavenotPC on August 20, 2007 at 11:24 AM
Geraldo refuses to acknowledge that these types of crimes are 100% preventable if we did not allow illegals into our country.
Why he, and many like him, refuse to acknowledge this and continue to debate our legal system set up for American citizens or, our culture, their living conditions, how hard they work, etc. escapes me.
If his kid were made to kneel and shot in the brains I think he would feel differently. It is too bad he isn’t able to transfer his empathy to American citizens in general. I think it takes a higher level of reasoning…
Babs on August 20, 2007 at 11:27 AM
Um, the population’s crime rate is above 100%?
Kowboy on August 20, 2007 at 11:28 AM
Jerry Rivers is a “tontoron” of massive proportions.
MCPO Airdale on August 20, 2007 at 11:31 AM
But what if AP does & then we miss him cry? No fair!!!
Miss_Anthrope on August 20, 2007 at 11:32 AM
Wow, that is really painful to listen to. Geraldo’s got nothin’. Not one word of reasoned argument. And when all else fails, he asks Laura to stop being so mean to him. I suppose one could say that winning arguments is “mean,” but it doesn’t change the fact that you lose.
“Do you need a crying towel?” That’s a classic. Yup, I’m gonna use it as soon as hte opportunity presents itself.
Rational Thought on August 20, 2007 at 11:38 AM
Sorry, I just did a “Google” search and didn’t really come up with anything concrete in the meaning of “Tontoton”.
I’m ready to be enlightend.

Bla Bla Bla.. Will he ever answer a question. NO
He sounds like a SNL character . What a little baby.
Why in the world FOX keeps this dork on is a mystery.
Texyank on August 20, 2007 at 11:54 AM
This is too funny, he thinks Laura was “mean” to him? This, the idiot who ranted against Michelle? Somebody give me a chair I think I’ll throw it at him. Oh, that’s been done?
MNDavenotPC on August 20, 2007 at 11:56 AM
I guess Geraldo will now be cringing whenever he see or hears Laura, too.
Bigfoot on August 20, 2007 at 12:07 PM
I think MM should have Geral-DOH! and Laura on when she subs for O’Reilly. Seat him in-between the two beautiful, smart women, confront him on his treason/traitor behavior, and watch him have a complete and total meltdown. He would implode. LOL!!
PoliticallyIncorrectSandy on August 20, 2007 at 12:08 PM
Geraldo is probably doing some human trafficing on the side. Enforcement would be bad for business. That’s the ONLY logical conclusion I can come up with.
Mojave Mark on August 20, 2007 at 12:16 PM
NEXT UP: Geraldo goes on Fox & Friends where he refers to Laura as “that she-devil”.
My collie says:
CyberCipher on August 20, 2007 at 12:16 PM
Texyank…Fox keeps him because of their leaning more left as time goes by…i’m down to watching J.G.(without a tabloid story), 1 st, 2/3rds’s of Hume(missing the out of date, out of touch panel with the exception of CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER, then pik and choose what i watch on the big BOR. Changed considerably over the last few yrs.
oldernslower on August 20, 2007 at 12:21 PM
The reason Geraldo Rivera will not answer the questions is painfully obvious, the facts dispute all of his racist accusation sound bytes. He thinks he can get away with the one liners;”hard working people” and “they just want to feed their families” myths. The one about lower crime rates in NYC because it is a sanctuary city is the biggest whopper of them all. It is just plain false.
Geraldo is a reconquista and a Hispanic racist. His ethnocentrism blinds him to the crimes that are being committed by Illegal Alien Criminals that should not be here in the first place. He believes that the United States stole Texas and the other southwest states from Mexico. He supports MALDEF and La Raza which are both racist groups just like the KKK.
What is sad, is that FoxNews allows him to make false racist accusations without backing it up with any facts.
Except for Michelle, FoxNews has been a big supporter of open borders and globalism just like the WSJ. Just listen to Fred Barnes or Mort Kondracke some time on Brit Hume or the Beltway Boys.
They refuse to list Tom Tancredo or Duncan Hunter in their polling lineups even though both of them have polled better than John McCain.
Sean Hannity who was once a big supporter of deportation has been drinking the GWB Kool-Aid and supports his Guest worker plan instead of prosecuting the 20-40 million illegals already here.
I have yet to see one segment on his program covering Illegal Immigration unless it is to invoke sympathy for the criminals that are violating our laws.
ScottyDog on August 20, 2007 at 12:21 PM
So when they leave their family in Mexico to come here, that is NOT breaking up families but, when we send them home to Mexico where their families live…THAT’S BREAKING UP FAMILIES!
ronsfi on August 20, 2007 at 12:22 PM
I’m afraid your right . . Only a few shows I’ll watch
anymore. J. Gibson, Cavuto, Some of O’Reilly and Humme.
Shep, Hemmer, Gretta, Geraldo, are like watching MSNBC.
Ollie North is holding on for now . . .
Texyank on August 20, 2007 at 12:37 PM
Geraldo says these are “law abiding citizens”. Wrong, they committed at least one crime by coming here. Then they use false documents, etc. In other words, they have no respect at all for our laws.
If you see a company offering services in Spanish, would you please boycott them. My son’s high school economics book can not have an adequate glossery due to the necessity for a spanish-english translation in the back.
davidcaskey on August 20, 2007 at 12:39 PM
Same old elitist attitude he’s always had, as if “I am Geraldo Rivera! How dare you question me!” And at the same time he plays the victim. Jerk.
infidel4life on August 20, 2007 at 12:42 PM
Geraldo is a legend in his own mind.
ctmom on August 20, 2007 at 12:50 PM
Even my 12 year old noticed that Geraldo didn’t answer any questions. I guess he invented that too.
ctmom on August 20, 2007 at 12:54 PM
Geraldo is an obfuscationista.
IrishEi on August 20, 2007 at 1:03 PM
As I posted under gerry’s other thread…
Perspective…
Rivera was born in New York City, New York to Cruz Rivera (later “Allen Cruz Rivera”), a Puerto Rican, and Lillian Friedman Rivera, a Jewish American.[1] He grew up in Brooklyn and West Babylon, New York.
So, he’s “Juan Epstein, a Puerto Rican-Jew?? And just as goofy?
So, he’s not fully spanish, Was Born here in America, and has American parents. (P.R. is still a commonwealth of the USA) I knwo some other immigrants who legally came here and became naturalized citizens. Knowing “where they came from,” they’re slot almost 50-50 on illegal immigration. Geraldo has never been an immigrant, nor had immigrant parents.
What is his “connection” and where does his outrage come from?
If you read his Wikipedia page I’m CONVINCED that Fox should not only distance themseves from him, but no longer employ him as a reporter.
Mazztek on August 20, 2007 at 1:12 PM
Geraldo never shut up.
All he did was ramble, avoid direct questions and complain that he couldn’t speak.
Ingaham was vey considerate towards him and let him ramble. At any point she could have called out his aversion to real questions but she was too kind.
This guy is a jerk.
Geraldo whine: “Why are you insulting me?”
He asked that after Ingraham makes a good point that he couldn’t answer. Then he claims he didn’t understand the point.
The deer hunting story? We have huge issues in our country and we spend time on this tool?
GET. THIS. MORON. OFF. THE. AIRWAVES.
Montana on August 20, 2007 at 1:15 PM
“America is a sanctuary city.” – Geraldo
Unfortunately, he’s correct. The recent “crackdown” will only last as long as it takes the media to convince people how “unjust” it is. And it’s a waste of time anyway – if Chertoff/Bush were serious, they’d build the 700+ miles of wall that was authorized way back when, fully fund (and stop prosecuting) the border patrol, and focus on employers of illegals, not “show” arrests like Arellano.
Laura on August 20, 2007 at 1:15 PM
q: what’s the difference between whore-aldo and a bag of dog s**t?
a: the mustache.
Jerry must be working cheap these days…he’s showing up on all the FOX programs, and as a result, I’m watching Fox less and less.
Last night, FNS actually pre-empted “FNS with Chris Wallace” with hurricane Dean info! What the hell is going on with the program director at Fox News????
Keith_Z on August 20, 2007 at 1:29 PM
Cobb County, GA which recently has been getting tough on the illegals recently took a step back because of the federal judges ruling in the Hazelton, PA case. All it takes is one judge to tie up local communities and prevent them from pursuing the illegals with or without federal support.
The recent retreat in Cobb County was a proposed ordance to restrict the picking up of day laborers but somebody played the race card and invoked Hazelton so the county commission tabled the proposed law for the time being.
LakeRuins on August 20, 2007 at 1:33 PM
Also, how long until FOX NEWS realizes they have a Rosie O’Donnel in the making? A moustache sporting Rosie.
Anyone who refuses to answers direct questions and instead attacks the asker whilst claiming the status of victim should NOT be in the news business. They should be a sociology professor.
I just described a liberal by the way.

trailortrash on August 20, 2007 at 2:01 PM
Actually according to the government hispanics are overwhelmingly the most law abiding group in the US among males
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/crimoff.htm
So actually Geraldo was correct about the crime stats
To me its the individual that committs a crime not a racial group but if we must cast generic stones the government report is there to be read
EricPWJohnson on August 20, 2007 at 2:03 PM
