joe, always a pleasure. jill dobson, delightful. bill schulz, disgusting. mike baker, super. greg gutfeld, that's me. see you, later. captioned by, closed captioning services, inc. dim blams it was a good time. >> apparently you had sex with him, though, at his bachelor party. >> yeah, you will have to wait and see. >> how was it making love to him? it was something that, you know, between the two of us i did grow to very much love. >> now, his sponsors know he doesn't walk on water. and video game, sneaker, sports drink and watch company who made millions, making tiger a billionaire made an uncertain future. one filled with ridicule, comedy and career advice. >> congressman from california is dropping his effort to award tigheer with the congressional gold medal. not going to happen. on the bright side today, trojan named tiger customer of the decade. >> these women are coming out of thewood work. she claims she was approached by tiger's agent to have sex with tiger. the agent was negotiating with this woman to have sex with tiger. i got to get a new agent. >> geraldo: after finally and specifically admitting his infidelity he is giving up golf at least for now and the world wonders whether his marriage will survive. on a bigger commercial stage, the business he made prosperous ponders whether the pga will ever again be big. >> it has been great actually. it has been the best thing that versus ever happened. >> always. >> geraldo: family first and foremost. for a man widely regarded as among the greatest proathletes ever, the post racial superstar who made more none any and more public appeal than anybody in the modern era, tiger went out with a wimper. releasing the statement he should have made as soon as the scandal started destroying his carefully constructed facade of hero, husband and father. he said i have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf. i need focus on being a better father, husband and person. but unless tiger and his wife elin and their two young children go live on the private swedish island where she just purchased a home or go cruising on his popular voter yacht called privacy, the acid drip of the scandal is likely to continue testing their resolve to stay together. this a few minutes, craig has got an exclusive interview with the madame who claims that she managed some of tiger's kittens and since they got paid for sex like this one in new york there is talk, long shot talk of tiger facing criminal charges prostitutes.ng prostitution the one-time sex worker is a columnist these days for the daily beast. welcome. ju have also written diary of a manhattan call girl and diary for those uk viewers a jet setting call girl. what do you think of tiger as a customer? typical? extraordinary because of his fame, his fortune. what with b. his habits? >> well, although they have been played up very sensationalized by the tabloid press, the stuff he does sounds very mundane to the working girls. >> geraldo: very mundane. i read one claim where he had 10, 12 girls at the same time. >> there are no german shepherds and no chandeliers. >> geraldo: thank goodness. >> a few girls at time, big deal. i don't think he saw 12 girls at the same time. you mean in the same bed? >> geraldo: that is one of the most recent claims, con >> what about the long lot criminal liability, the vulnerability of the sports great? >> ordinarily you would think this is something they might pursue but we have recent history dealing with eliot spitzer. >> geraldo: our governor at the time. >> and he got a pass. i'm hard pressed to think that they will try and bring tiger into court and have him do the perp walk as a john. i think he will get a mulligan on this one. >> geraldo: i agree. i think it is extremely unlikely. >> geraldo: the golfmagazine editor at large. it is that industry that really is the one that will suffer most. not the razor companies and the soap companies, not a sentry cell. is that? do you feel vulnerable now? does the industry feel vulnerable? >> the pga tour probably feels vulnerable. this is a pitching wedge in the face of the pga. when tigheer is not in the field you are talking about a 50% difference. when played last year, ratings were up 83%. tiger woods, going to the pga tour and watching an event is like watching the beatles without lennon and mccartney. it is not the same. >> geraldo: i have heard him compared not so much to john daly, the big golfer who became a drunk and shamed himself in many ways. he is not being compared to him or even kobe bryant who allegedly had the date rape situation in colorado but rather his decline and fall, the abrupt explosion of tiger's incredibly crafted life and his marketability and the dollars that he garner ared for himself and his companies to o.j. simpson, what happened to the double murderer of brentwood. >> right. >> who almost cut his wife's head off that o.j. ran through the airports for hertz limousine. he was one of the most popular and charismatic people in america. tiger woods was bigger, he didn't kill anybody. he did something that you could say that at least half of america's married people do and yet you have a scene a catastrophic and collapse of his career. >> his public image is now in tatters on the floor and it will be up to him over the next six to 12 months which is how long i will think he will be out to put it back together and repair his life and his relationship with his wife. >> before i get back to the commercial, well, commercial also, the bedroom commercial, the people who are sents or who are known -- celebrities or known bomb fixes, kimberly mentioned eliot spitzer our governor here in new york before he resigned in shame, do you get many people like that with so much at risk with so much on the line that they still come to a hooker? >> well, you say still come to a hooker as if that were a strange thing. the smart celebrities deal with professional sex workers and confidential madams. tiger could have picked a better madam. this lady seems to be on the indiscrete side. >> the woman we are about to hear from. >> a lot of people in the escort industry feel that what she did is not, correct. is one of the cardinal rules. >> geraldo: wait a second, raisey. i tell you, it is incredible to me that nobody talkeddal this time that they all came in a flood and many with corroborated stories apparently. why didn't they talk before? >> that is an interesting question. i think his mistake was mixing it up too much. if he had only dealt with professionals maybe there wouldn't even be this much stuff happening. >> geraldo: he didn't mix it up that much, they were all bonds, weren't they? >> she has a point. that is a safer route if you are a celebrity, approaching it as a business perspective and you see with tighe they are unraveled not because he was working with professionals, those came later. >> with the girls he was writing the personal messages to and that is when it came upon him. >> geraldo: he was mixing it up with cocktail waitresses. you could argue that some of the so-called cocktail waitresses were. >> they are not professionals. what we call a light hook. >> geraldo: i never heard of that. >> and rachel ucitel made a point about saying she is not a hooker. >> geraldo: rachel ucitel is the one that jo joy bahar madea rhyme and she demanded a retraction and got a retraction and also allegedly got a million dollars payoff. if the . producer who blackmailed producer had hired gloria all red to say give me a million. >> he wouldn't be going to trial today. >> that was his mistake. >> i think it is the number associated with tiger that was the fatal mistake. if you are going to cheat on your wife have one or two girlfriends and you can keep it secret. we are talking about 12 women who have come forward. it is one thing about how many are out there. it is one thing to put a couple of sugars in your coffee, tiger threw the whole box in. >> you can have a high number as long as they are professionals. you are making a plea for professionalism. >> a lot of celebrities professionally date. >> geraldo: and discretion. >> call girls and they will see a different person every week sometimes because they don't want someone to get too hung up on them. >> these are just the people who came forward, you realize there. there is much more than that. >> geraldo: there will be at least one for each hole. >> oh, gosh. >> geraldo: coming up, a vip hostess talks about the dirt little secret of the cocktail crowd. >> geraldo: and the madam that tracy mentioned, the mat dam who says she knows everything goes one on one with craig as catch a tigheer with a tail continues after these words from david letterman. >> i'm sorry, which mistress is this again. in number three. why aren't the lpga girls interested. the number one text message sent by tiger woods, thanks for changing rather than an act of war?

[ laughter ] >> if that is out of line, please let me know. i don't want to -- >> i don't know, i think you can kind of figure it out. i'm a smart girl. that is all i'm going say about that. >> a hollywood madame says that you worked for her as an escort and says she has tax forms that proved that you worked for one of her companies. although she never sent you on paid dates for tiger that you told her that he paid nowor sex. >> i never heard of her name. >> never heard of her. >> i have never been an escort and never will be an escort. this is all news to me. >> geraldo: whether jamie was, indeed, one of michelle's girls the madam has saucy tales to tell about tiger including a former play boy model who braun claims commanded a price of over 10 grand a night from the golf great. here is the interview in l.a. >> we are in barney's beanery, the legendary sports car in hollywood, california, to talk tigheer with a hollywood madame. michelle braun is the former owner of nicki's girls which is a high end escort service. tell us about tiger and how you know him and what you did for him. >> i met him at the end of 2006. he was in las vegas for a weekend partying and one of the girls that was in his company called me to see if i could supply more girls for the weekend to join them. >> so your claim is that you provided professional girls for sex for tiger woods? >> i provided girls for companionship for tiger woods. the girls did have sex with him. >> how often would you provide girls for tiger woods it. >> over the course of two years about a dozen times. >> a dozen times. and give me an idea of the type of girls that tiger would call up and ask for or text. >> he had a particular type, college cutie, girl next door, young, under 25. preference for natural or if implants on the smaller side. blonde. >> how would he communicate with you? >> by telephone or text message. >> so you have physical proof that you actually communicated with him? >> yes. >> and tell me about some of the girls that you provided for him? i know some of them have come out in public recently. >> yes, two of the girls that i provided for him have come public. one is a play boy model that he met in new york and he saw her about four or five times over one and a half years and another one is holly who is an adult film star. at the time that i knew holly she was a b movie actress and a model. >> what kind of proof do you have? >> i have telephone records, 1099s, wire transfers. >> what was your reaction when you heard that tiger woods was caught in a scandal with other women involved? were you surprised? >> i wasn't surprised. these things happen so often and because of the amount of girls that he would see and the frequency of it he put himself at much larger risk of getting caught. >> and speaking of risk, what did the girls tell you about the type of sex that he had with them. was it unpresidential hopefuls texted sex? sex -- unprotected sex? >> he had several girls that would be girl on girls. threesomes. he requested to have multiple girls at a time to have a variety to choose from but he wouldn't end up with all of the girls. >> but he would have to pay for them and these are high end prostitutes asking a lot of money. >> right, they are high end escorts so it started at $10,000 on average for an overnight. 20 to $25,000 for a weekend. >> what is the largest amount of money that tiger put out for these girls. >> i would estimate about $60,000 for a weekend. >> $60,000 for one weekend? >> yes. >> that is a lot of money. >> not for tighe. now, that you heard tracking dean tiger woods has stated that he wants to quit golf for awhile and concentrate on getting his family back together, he admitted to transgressions. do you think he will be able to do that? >> i think so. i don't think it is a bad idea to take some time off. >> can one woman staff him? >> maybe his wife can step up to the plate and fill the void. sophomore to win the heisman .op claiming victory in a houston mayoralle race.lian this --ndan >> the that guidos and guidettes are good looking people that like to make a scene and be center of attention and thick care of themselves. they think it is offensive because maybe in their time it was offensive. now, it is kind of a compliment. >> i can't believe that guy smacked him. that was outrageous. >> geraldo: that outrageous assault on the girl that calls herself snookie, one of the the reality stars mtv the producer decided not include the punchout scene we the episode aired but the storm over the jersey shore the new reality series is huge. we will deal with it in a couple of minutes. first i want to continue our catch a tiger special report. my next guest worked as a vip hostess for almost three years. she is the author of the cocktail hours. margaret rose lesser joins me from l.a. thank you for being with me. let's be clear, are many of the vip cocktail hostesses like amateur or semi pro or professional girls of the night? >> know, and the term light hook, i have never heard before. for the most part we are there and working and trying to make an honest living and we come out to hollywood to chase our dreams and working in the restaurant is what our options are because it allows us time during the day. i am not endorsing light hooking. that would surprise me. >> geraldo: don't you all go to the actresses and models and do you know the way to san jose, end up pumping gas, isn't that the trajectory and are these stories surprising to you, let me ask that? >> i'm not surprised about it. working in a number of clubs and restaurants, you do get the same access to the vip celebrity group so it is definitely there if you want to go that route. so no, it doesn't surprise me at all. >> geraldo: were you ever propositioned, may i ask that? >> well, i have a book so people can read the stories. i mean i have seen a lot and heard a lot over the years and i chose to write it out. >> geraldo: you never heard tiger's name, though? >> no. >> geraldo: do you golf? just kidding. thank you. thank you very much for being here. >> thank you. >> geraldo: now, to the controversy over the new mtv show jer jersey shore which crs like my next guest feel is a bad portrayial of italian americans. robert galinski is president of the new york reality tv school. >> to proud to be in an episode. >> the most amazing scripted show ever on television. as good as seinfeld. >> good to have you, absolutely. >> what about the kids, what about -- is guido a term of affection to you or is it a derogatory like the n word? >> i tell you the truth. i don't like what is on television. i don't get personally offended. i'm not part of a group or a commune or part of some organization. i'm very strong in what i feel has been my own accomplishments as an american. >> people say you are an italian american. i'm an american. from italian and seventhry. we started out with the donna reid show and went to roseanne and the simpsons and now we have this. >> geraldo: and what is jersey shore? >> this is people will watch anything. it's car wreck. it really is. i mean you see this mess and you say i don't want to look. it is just messmerizing to me of what people will put on television what the producers will put on television. it's all profit. i want to say one thing, that with all of tease italian american organizations -- all of these italian american organizations that came out against us. >> geraldo: i remember the criticism. >> you talk about we gave them their two minutes of fame, 15 would have been too much for them. i did an article, rather an interview at the washington post that said you are an italian american, how does it feel working on the sopranos. i said number one, i'm glad to be working. >> did you see all the markers at arlington national cemetery? those people are dead so we could have the freedom of speech. if you don't like it, change the channel. you go and they bring you in. >> geraldo: anthropological. >> because you are watching something a culture or subculture. these kids are not all italian. i don't even think they know how to speak italian. the point is. >> geraldo: do you talk italian? what do you know besides pizza? >> pasta. >> i know a little bit [speaking in italian] >> doesn't know any of those. >> that could be german. >> the point gentlemenning that i saw two episodes of this and to hear kids speak so graphically about what they do, what they won't do, making out now has become something way beyond what is might have been. >> geraldo: compared to like -- knock them out. >> again, they can do whatever they want to do. my problem with the whole thing is actually the groups who come out and are now encapsulating it, it is an italian american offense, it is against us. it is not against any one. it is against your intelligence. >> it is not an italian american problem. the media landscape has changed. everybody has a camera now and everybody knows how to operate it and if you look at you tube you will see hundreds of these videos on you tube. part of the problem is it has now come to television. >> geraldo: the difference, with the sopranos it was really like king lear, the writing was so beautiful, the characteristic depiction so spot on at least matching our mind's image of what a mobster in new jersey would be like. i mean -- but the jersey shore, it just -- doesn't the supreme court judge, alito. >> don't they both -- yeah, from new jersey. >> geraldo: but the stereo type of the italian american, i mean if that was japs, jewish american princesses of long island wouldn't there be a protest to shut it down? >> sure. >> but this is a magnifying glass over community in america. a community in america. and that is what reality tv has become. it is magnifying glass. >> geraldo: that is bunk. you teach amateurs how to be on t. >> teach them how to be confident and authentic and tell their story. not to doo with that is. that is sensationalism. >> geraldo: you don't like that show? >> i don't like that show. i don't like shows like that. >> geraldo: aren't they all playing john travolta in "grease" or in "saturday night fever." >> used to be the programs are copying our lives. >> geraldo: why do you like the show? what is your handle, what is your nickname? >> shaf. >> what is your nickname? >> j balls. >> h bomb. >> in the back. >> the prince. >> geraldo: the prince. >> beezie. >> the real situation, t money. >> geraldo: just jenny. why do you like jersey shore? >> because it is really entertaining. even though i do get kind of angry. >> geraldo: do you cringe when you see things you consider stereo types? >> oh, my god, the whole show like the one girl snookie, she is just an embarrassment to guidettes honestly. >> geraldo: do you call yourself a guidette? >> not really. i am an italian, i'm from north jersey, i guess that might make me a guidette but we don't act like that. >> geraldo: doesn't guido mean that you will not be educate and successful, that you will pump iron but you are not going to get out of the rudd of a stereo tippiccal existences. >> on the weekends we like to pump our fists, light, guys, we like to party. we are guidos and the chicks love guidos. a guido formyself segui dough that, too. >> i turn it off at the jersey shore, you know. >> geraldo: that is the future. >> no, i'm not okay. i'm on my way out. >> geraldo: let's go down to the shore. i don't think so. how do fema join you people jor erallity school? >> we interview and we are stringent about it. >> do you get them jobs. >> i have gotten people on fox. >> geraldo: oh, no. >> yeah. >> geraldo: listen, good luck, kids. stay safe, don't drive drunk mainly. >> geraldo, thank you. >> geraldo: you knew her on the view and watched her sister get kidnapped by the north koreans hi. number two, please. would you like that to hurt now or later? uh, what? sir, it's a simple question. do you want heartburn pain, now or later? these heartburn medicines make you choose... between hurting now or later. pepcid complete doesn't. it starts to neutralize acid in seconds... and keeps it under control all day or all night. sometimes you gotta make compromises, man. no, you don't... man. pepcid complete, works now and works later. @ i heard about him from all the other girls. we were working at the same company. and she was something else. announcer: take care of each other, and your health. with nature made cholestoff. cholestoff helps lower ldl cholesterol, the bad kind, naturally, by using the same types of phytonutrients found in nuts, grains, fruits, and vegetables. he makes me laugh. he still does, but it's nice. announcer: learn how to lower your cholesterol, naturally, at cholestoff.com. nature made. fuel your greatness. lisa ling has become one of the nations if gutsiest reporters. the host of explorer, narco state with the drug war going on in mexico, making phoenix, arizona, the nation's kidnapping capital. >> the suspect in custody. the suspect you were chasing on foot is in custody. >> you have been through the system before. there is a difference between us finding him alive and finding him dead. >> witnesses observed him and the five other men with handguns physically take our victim out of his vehicle as well as assaulting him during the process. >> is it possible that the victim is dead? >> we have not gotten what is called a proof of life where the victim is on the phone. >> it is an incredible level of violence as you report so eloquently. it has made phoenix the kidnapping capital but has the mexican drug violence really lapped over into the united states, lisa? >> this is an example of the fact that it has. while crime has actually been reduced in phoenix, kidnappings still continue to happen with regularity. and these kidnappings are directly related to the drug trafficking and the drug violence. and i don't want people in phoenix to be -- to get paranoid because phoenix is a safe city. they have made a dent in it and they are just hoping and trying not -- to make sure that the kidnappings don't spread into other communities. >> geraldo: phoenix is relatively safe, so is where you also report there are murders sometimes in the dozens in the day. is the mexican drug violence still underreported in this country? >> i think so. we hear so much about the wars in afghanistan and iraq, but this is known to be a safe city as well and has exploded over the last few years since mexico's president declared an all out war on the drug traffickers and it is one of the most violent cities in the world and it is just beyond our border in mexico. >> geraldo: is airs at 8:00 on sunday night. how is your sister, famously kidnapped by the north koreans, i don't know if that is the verb.a yo how is your sister doing and what does your mother say about you two? >> my sister is doing great and we got a gift in her return because we know the situation would commie have ended differently or could continue to be ongoing. >> my mother lieutenant say preferred when i was on "the view" because she could see me every day. both my parents know this is the kind of work i am passionate about and i feel lucky to be able to do it. for me when i go and do the stories i go for a couple of weeks and then guy home but the people who have to live under these kinds of circumstances have to do so every day? and your husband is he okay? you really take amazing risks, you do, to your credit. >> he is also supportive. he would also like me home a bit more. he kind of knew when went into a relationship with me that this is what i feel passionately about. i really didn't denver a job. i'm sure you don't either. you travel the world ten times over and go into contentious environments but there are stories so important and worthy of being told and there is so much information out there but very few people are actually getting the opportunity to tell a lot of global and substantive stories. >> geraldo: absolutely true. what is the lesson we take away from your special on sunday? >> i would just like people to be aware of the fact that this very, very deadly conflict is going on, on our continent and that in fact it has spread into the united states. i think it is really crucial that we are conscious of this. >> geraldo: lisa ling's national geographic explorer narco state airs sunday. thank you. >> thank you so much. >> geraldo: their president is getting beat up in the polls but they keep truckin during his speech, president obama spoke about the difficulty of accepting a peace prize while fighting two different wars and president bush got very upset and said hey, i started both those wars, i should have won the prize, i started those wars, what is that all about. >> geraldo: most everyone including the comedians loved his nobel speech this week. still, president obama's approval continues its slide south. several polls put the president's positives at 46% and his negatives at a whopping 53%. despite mr. obama's eroding popularity, congressional democrats continue inching forward with his ambitious agenda. example. having mustered a filibuster proof 60 votes to keep the healthcare reform alive in the united states senate they did it again yesterday when they stopped the republican filibuster over the $1.1 trillion federal spending bill which they plan on passing toll. the question i have for my friend and colleague mike huckabee is whether for all the gop's manifest displea sure not to mention the rage of the tea parties, are republicans and conservatives impotent to stop democrats from rocking our world? governor, welcome. >> thank you, geraldo. it appears to me this is a kamikazi congress. i have never seen people to completely contemptuous of the very people they work for. a growing number of americans are unhappy with congress. growing number of americans unhappy with the president. a growing number of the americans don't want the healthcare bill on the the table. and they are going to pass it, it looks like by breaking every arm and twisting ones that aren't broken to get it done. >> geraldo: for all the storm and fury, it is clear, though, that they have the upper hand at least mechanically, they will get this legislation passed. >> they might and if they do it is because they just decided that they don't want to be the majority party next year after the elections because there are a number of congressional democrats both in the house and the senate if they vote for this they might as well bring boxes home after the holidays and start packing their stuff because if 2010 there will be a big shift. >> geraldo: do you really believe that? here there is a situation where there is a good chance the economy will rebound by the summer. the war in afghanistan might be going better. if he has this legislation he can point to in his mind and in the mind of many democrats that historical. >> he could do that. always something could happen because a lot happens in a year. people forget that a year ago, barack obama was riding higher than i ever remembered an american politician riding across the world. now, his approval rating the lowest of any american president in polling history for his first year. that happened in the space of a year. george h.w. bush 1991 polling at 91% right after the gulf warm. a year later loses his reelection. sure, a lot of things happen. just looking at the situation now, there is a massive growing discontent and the tea parties are not just about republicans. there are a lot of democrats and independents in that movement. >> geraldo: you mentioned the tea parties and i saw some polling that indicate that in a three party race the tea party candidate would beat the republican candidate. does that weigh on your mind at all as you ponder your own future? >> it really doesn't. what is happening is that the tea party movement beating the republican means that if you combine the two you still have people who are conservative. they don't like what the democrats are doing. just matter that they are not seeing the republicans offering a whole lot either so the republicans can't just say hey, we are not there them. they have to say here is who we are and they have to show that 35w can truly exercise discipline and spending and be a responsible party. >> geraldo: just pair rennettically i think the real fear among the gop is that someone will go rogue on you. governor, it's great. listen, if you have not gotten your christmas gift, this is it. a simple christmas, a big best
