Veteran journalist Geraldo Rivera said Monday he’d “take the call” if New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie wanted to appoint him to New Jersey’s vacant U.S. Senate seat, but acknowledged the chances of that seem slim. “I would definitely take the call,” Rivera said on the “Geraldo Rivera Radio Show.”

Fox News Channel hosts Eric Bolling and Geraldo Rivera blew up at each other on Rivera’s radio program on Tuesday amid an argument over the appropriateness of President Barack Obama’s response to the attacks on American diplomatic and service personnel in Benghazi in 2012. Bolling and Rivera battled over Obama’s personal culpability in the attacks until Bolling hung up after being accused by Rivera of alleging that the president was “a damn murderer.” Rivera opened the interview by criticizing Bolling’s focus on Obama’s actions on the night of the attack. He said that Bolling is buying into a “false narrative”...

Geraldo Rivera said Friday that his sources tell him the U.S. was involved in a secret mission in Libya to arm the Syrian rebels, which was the reason for the initial secrecy about the attack in Benghazi.

In a tweet issued Sunday, Fox News' Geraldo Rivera expressed "regrets" to his "Muslim brothers and sisters" over the tragic Boston Marathon bombings that killed three people and injured over 170, Twitchy reported. "Regrets to my Muslim brothers/sisters. We know how Boston will aggravate life's friction-Now's the time for patience pride & understanding," he tweeted. Last Monday, Twitchy said, Rivera blamed "homegrown anarchists" for the bombing, saying the explosive devices were "relatively modest in killing power." Twitchy said that what Rivera "really regrets about what transpired in Boston this week is not that four innocent people died or that scores...

Geraldo Rivera declares himself a 'moderate Republican' as he eyes U.S. Senate run By Brent Johnson/The Star-Ledger on February 01, 2013 at 12:55 PM, updated February 01, 2013 at 5:08 PM TRENTON — It looks like Geraldo Rivera is already prepping his platform. One day after announcing on his radio show that he is "truly considering" running in 2014 for the U.S. Senate seat now held by New Jersey's Frank Lautenberg, Rivera amped up his message today in a television interview and a column on the Fox News Latino website. The longtime media personality portrayed himself as a moderate Republican...

It is not often that I agree with Geraldo Rivera, but recently he said something very practical and potentially life-saving, when he urged black and Hispanic parents not to let their children go around wearing hoodies. There is no point in dressing like a hoodlum when you are not a hoodlum, even though that has become a fashion for some minority youths, including the teenager who was shot and killed in a confrontation in Florida. I don't know the whole story of that tragedy, any more than those who are making loud noises in the media do, but that...

Rivera created a firestorm earlier this week when he argued the hoodie the unarmed teen chose to wear when he was killed in Florida was as much to blame for his death as the man that shot him Even Geraldo Rivera's son is disappointed in his father's controversial remarks about Trayvon Martin. "My own son just wrote to say he's ashamed of my position," the Fox News contributor tweeted on Friday. Rivera created a firestorm earlier this week when he argued the hoodie the unarmed teen chose to wear when he was killed in Florida was as much to blame...

Geraldo Rivera stopped by the set of Fox & Friends early Friday morning, where he weighed in on the future of our war in Afghanistan — and entered into a heated debate with host Brian Kilmeade in the process. ....................................................... “Are we going to create an ‘Afghanistan, California’?” asked Rivera. “What are we going to do there?” “These are people,” he continued, “for whom the Holy Book is their whole lives, and the deaths of children is just a passing event.” “They will never evolve into Americans,” he added after Kilmeade asked what happens when the people we’ve been trying...

The news from Zuccotti Park over the last week and weekend has focused increasingly on the schisms and animosity within the group, but if there's one thing that keeps Occupy Wall Street protesters united better than just about anything else, it's their disdain for Geraldo Rivera. With the impending cold weather, the strain of sleeping rough, and the disagreements over how to manage the group's budget, tensions in Zuccotti Park are running high. There seems to be a rebellion brewing among the drumming group, and a prank on Sunday night where somebody told the Kitchen they'd been given an A...

It seems veteran Fox News reporter Geraldo Rivera follows the maxim 'If at first you don't succeed, try, try again,' particularly when it comes to dealing with Occupy Wall Street protesters. On Sunday evening, Mr Rivera waded into a crowd of protesters along with his camera crew and some body guards, flashing his trademark grin. He even went so far as to high-five some supporters. It seemed like a much warmer welcome than he was given on his first trip down to the Zuccoti Park protest, when he was heckled and appeared to leave due the area as a result....

"I owe him a bloody nose. I am serious." Longer 9 minute clip at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH6DsLIrSA0 This calls to mind Geraldo's threats against Michelle Malkin because she opposes illegal immigration. At the time he said that he would never act like that again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkzZY9dsBrw Video of Geraldo Rivera's threat at:

Accidentally reporting that President Obama was killed and rose from the dead as a zombie to announce his own death before struttin' into the hallway that always reminds me of the one in Disneyland's Haunted Mansion ride is a mistake that anyone* can make. Video Here

Geraldo Rivera reporting from Libya truly demonstrates the great lengths he will go in order to report a story, as he found himself in the middle of crossfire between an “unruly gang” of Libyan rebels and the professional snipers from Gaddafi’s forces. Geraldo quickly ducks for cover, and the brave crew keeps the camera rolling. Rivera described the chaotic experience: “It was a wild, wild scene. And I was as worried about getting shot in the back by the good guys, as I was about getting shot in the front by the Gaddafi forces.” Also with his on-the-ground knowledge, Rivera...

Late Saturday night, Fox News Channel’s Geraldo Rivera, discussing the Arizona Safeway shooting that left Congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford injured and six others dead with Tea Party 365 co-founder David Webb, “went there” by invoking former Alaska governor Sarah Palin. Palin’s name has been linked to reports on Saturday’s shooting thanks, in part, to the “crosshair” imagery used in her so-called “Hit List” of 20 politicians, previously posted on website “Take Back the 20.” “However unfair the link is,” said Rivera, “I think that this event affects Sarah Palin’s at least short term political future.” He then offered his prediction that,...

Geraldo Rivera appeared on The O’Reilly Factor Wednesday night to argue that Mohammed Hussein, the man who attempted to bomb a military recruitment center in Catonsville, Maryland, was entrapped by the FBI.  For a reporter who claims to strongly support the military (when he isn’t giving military positions away on the air in a war zone), this position comes as something of a shock. Video 1:27 minutes (via Blogmocracy)It’s tempting to see Rivera’s position through a racial lens. In the clip he attributes not only the Baltimore plot, but also the Sears Tower plot and  a couple of others...

The million-dollar question among Dancing with the Stars fans these days? How did Bristol Palin make it into the season 11 finals? "She deserves it," DWTS executive producer Conrad Green tells PEOPLE. "And a significant portion of our viewing audience believes that, too." SNIP Speculation has arisen about whether members of the Tea Party, many of whom strongly support Bristol's mom Sarah Palin, are involved in an organized effort to promote Bristol. On one conservative Web site, Freerepublic.com, some of the site's 300,000 registered users have recently used discussion threads to encourage votes for Bristol. One asked users to "make...

On ‘At-Large’ this weekend, Al Sharpton, (a chronically under-rated civil rights leader and old friend), and I pondered an interesting question: should people who consider themselves progressive applaud the election of minorities who are conservatives? It came up when Reverend Al and I were talking about the sweeping victories in the mid-term elections of Hispanic Republicans, most prominently Florida’s Senator-elect Marco Rubio. Right now, the 39-year old Cuban-American is the Latino golden boy; he’s standing astride the big stage after first driving Florida’s popular governor Charlie Crist from the GOP before the Senate primary, SNIP SNIP Aside from his early...

According to Geraldo Rivera, the new location would have to be south of Houston St. but could be east of Broadway which moves the mosque well outside of the zone understood to be "Ground Zero".
