    He was wrong in his response to Jimmy Kimmel comments what about freedom of speech. And he does not owe anyone an apology. Geraldo is a maga fool

  • Unbelievable how you are becoming more and more alarmist. Isn't FOX news enough? You have people literally lying and you allow them to continue. In addition, you invite the LIARS back. It's one thing to allow different viewpoints and quite another to permit liars who shout talk over others.

    If I hear it again, I am done with Blitzer. I don't listen for or from rage/fear. Stop!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Both Sides Claim Victory Following Ceasefire
Q: What does the two-week ceasefire mean for ongoing operations and future negotiations?
Experts describe it as a fragile pause with a complex path ahead, where both sides claim victory but the risk of renewed conflict remains high without concrete, verifiable agreements and sustained diplomatic momentum.
Back Pay Pay Day
Q: What is the scope of the potential military action discussed regarding Iran?
Experts outlined that any ground operation on Karg Island would require substantial naval and air power, deep involvement in enemy territory, and significant risk due to Iran's defenses and missiles, suggesting it would be complex and costly.
Minnesota vs. the Feds
Q: What is the general process for this investigation and what legal remedies exist?
Experts explained that the investigation could be shared between federal and state entities, with the Minnesota BCA able to conduct a parallel review and potential involvement by the county attorney to determine use-of-force accountability, depending on the evidence.
DHS Deal Imminent?
Q: How are TSA workers affected on the ground and what are unions asking for?
TSA workers describe missed pay, mounting bills, and the need for a firm congressional commitment to fund all TSA agents, with unions urging a plan that ensures immediate and continued pay
DHS Deal Imminent?
Q: What is the status of the DHS funding bill and its chances in the House?
The Senate-passed DHS funding package faces an uphill battle in the House, with leadership and conservatives weighing changes before any final passage, and the possibility of a unanimous-consent move if enough support aligns.
