Hes the author of a new book, the geraldo show, the memoirs. And youre outnumbered. I think we are. Youre a veteran, youre old and lame. Your book is so juicy. I thought you brought a pack of peaches. I saw some in the back. There are some peaches here. Careful. Im old and lame. I can say things like that. Goodness. Lets move on before we get in trouble. The kremlin is claiming President Trump invited Vladimir Putin to a summit at the white house. Thats according to russias state news agency. Its reporting that President Trump made the invitation when they speak on the phone last month. No date for this morning was discussed. This of course coming as Robert Muellers probe is ongoing and after the expulsions. In spite of actions and other sanctions, President Trump has been criticized for not being tough enough on putin. Heres senator Lindsey Graham on fox news sunday. I think the problem is that russia is running wild. The president has a hard time pushing back at putin directly. White house press secretary, Sarah Sanders saying in a statement as the president confirmed on march 20th, hours after his last call with president putin, the two had discussed a bilateral meeting at a number of venues including white house. We have nothing further to add at this time. Geraldo, what are your thoughts . Putin is a thug, a cream, a sore on the body of the world. What do you really think . Its hope its true that the president has had the courage to invite putin despite all the push back, all the mueller stuff, the fact that he cant have russian dress on his salad now because of the collusion. The president told me months ago, wouldnt the world be a better place if the United States and the russian had open honest discussions and relations . I agree with the president. I hope this is true. I hope they have a meeting. It cant hurt. Lisa, can they have open honest conversations . If you listen to ambassador john bolton, russian is a bad actor. Theyre almost always lying. How do you teal with someone like that . Russia is a bad actor. As long as the president is cleareyed and what putin is and who he represents and what he represents. With the russia thing, it depends how you want to view it. If you want to focus on the commentary. Focus on the tweets. You have one narrative on russian. If you want to focus on the actions, its a different thing. Were coming off the biggest purge of Russian Diplomats with the Trump Administration. You can look at lethal arms sales to the ukraine. A lot list of actions the Trump Administration has taken against russia. You go back to the obama administration, he was weak. He was weak in his actions. He tried to be tough in his rhetoric. Everybody knew it was a juke. President trump is different in the sense that he may be a little weak on the rhetoric but his actions are tough. Other leaders now he will be tough and followthrough on it. Id like to see more consistency with the north korean policy and the russian policy. The north korean policy is working. Hes been very unpredictable and aggressive. He needs to do the same thing with russian. Id like to see more unpredictability and less of a conciliatory tone with moscow. If you watch the documentary ickaris, you can see how as a country, as a government they want to win at all costs. You can take doping as a metaphor for what is happening with their foreign policy. Theyre doing the same thing. They bad mouth their enemies, rationalize everything. I dont want to see the president as soon as believing it. So therefore, i would like to see what is happening in north korea applied to russia. I think we would have better results. By the way, russia has acted like a child and should be treated like a child. Theyre Different Actors in the sense that north korea is almost irrational. Vladimir putin plays a very long and thoughtful game. So i dont know that the same approach would work. Your thoughts. Its an interesting point, melissa. Its not really going to get him anything sitting down with putin. Its a nice gesture. He should have the dialogue. Its not as though its going to change anything. But hey, if hes going to sit down with kim jongun, he might as well sit down with Vladimir Putin. Vladimir putin is smart but so is our president. I dont think either one will feel the Charm Offensive in such a way that either is seduced by the other. So i dont know if it gets you anywhere. Can i add something to that . Think i youre absolutely right. The photo ops do nothing. They dont achieve anything. What we have seen with the president and the congressional leaders on capitol hill, both parties when he has the open meetings, not only are they entertaining, you can hold someones feet to the fire because you put it on record in put with transparency. Transparency. How much would you love to see one of those meetings between putin and trump where its not just a photo op. That would be interesting. Another fox news alert for you. President trump tweeting again about immigration saying daca is dead. Hes blaming democrats and calling on nuclear to get a wall done. Its the Obama Era Program that products undocumented immigrants that came here as kids. The president decided to end it march 5. But federal Court Rulings have allowed the program the remain in place while the legal battles play out. The president tweeting, daca is dead because the democrats didnt care to act. Now Everyone Wants to get on to the daca bandwagon. No longer works. Must build wall and security our borders with proper legislation. Democrats wants no borders hence drugs and crimes. Hes referenced a caravan of people from honduras heading through mexico seeking asylum. The president tweeting mexico has the absolute power not to let these large caravans of people enter their country. They must stop them at their northern border, which they can do because their border laws work, not allow them to pass into tour country which has no effective border laws. Congress must pass border legislation, use Nuclear Option if necessary to stop the inflow of drugs and people. Board agents and ice are great but the weak dem law dosnt allow them to do their job. Act now or our country will be stolen. And the president is threatening to exit nafta if the flow of people and drugs through the country dont stop. He shared some of his thoughts yesterday before church. Mexico has to help us at the border. If theyre not going to help us at the border, its a very sad thing between two countries. Mexico has to help us at the border. A lot of people are coming in because they want to take advantage of daca. Were going to have to see. They had a great chance. The democrats blew it. Mexico has to help us at the border. They flow through mexico, they send them to the United States. Cant happen that way anymore. Thank you. And John Garimendi reacting this morning to the president s tweets. Give me a break. Give me a break. What is this guy doing . What did the president do . He promised during his campaign two things. One, he would terminate daca. He created this problem all by himself. We offered a pile of money for the border wall. He turned it down. There you go. Geraldo . Im filled with sadness of the scene of a thousand people of honduras making their way through mexico regardless of mexicos blame or complicity. Those 1,000 people are leaving a country that is fraught with violence, kidnappings, with the drug lords have supplanted the local government. Its a horrible situation. Jump to the reality. Theres 7 billion people on the planet. They all want to live in the United States virtually. You have to have borders. You have to have some kind of immigration control. I get that. The dreamers though and the wall i think should be considered as one issue. Why . Because i know theres a deal there. I know that the democrats will go for 25 billion to build the southern border wall and i know the president of the United States was elected on that issue and that issue will still be the paramount issue in the november elections. I believe the president has promised not 800,000 but 1. 6 million dreamers in an expanded class a path to citizenship. If you combine these two things, strip away Everything Else, ill give you the 25 billion for the wall, you give me the dreamers, there is a conciliation compromise hurts both sides. Both sides feel that they have been imposed upon by a compromise. But if that wall hurts a lot of people. I say build the dam walls. Give the 25 billion. Give the kids some stability. Give them some peace of mind. The president knows that the thousand people in the caravan and anyone coming after 2012 has no right to daca. Its a nonissue. It was a factual incorrect statement, but daca, the wall, compromise, lets get this thing done. Lisa, you think both sides would go for the deal if you stripped away Everything Else . President laid out a deal that was a compromise. Both sides were mad over the proposal that he laid out, which should show you its something down the middle. But to late this as the president s feed is wrong. President obama created the program, was not constitutional. His own attorneys at the Justice Department said they were concerned about it being constitutional. Congress has been trying to get something done on dreamers for Something Like 16 years now and has failed. Theres four different proposals in the senate voted down needing bipartisan proposal, republican proposals that did not pass. So this is a much deeper issue. To lay it at the president s feet is wrong. What about ending chain migration or the lottery system . Those are what they got bogged down in in the past. Geraldo, i hear you. I think theres a deal there but has to include the other issues. You want to end the lottery system and chain migration and say from here on out, were going to be aggressive who we want in the country. We want you to prove youre needed in this country before coming in. If you broaden it to beyond the simple parameters, chain migration, the lottery visa and all that stuff, i think you start to bog it down and you get back to what lisa was saying about we had this proposal, that proposal. Just keep it simple. You can make a deal right now. Wall, daca, future. Kennedy, does everyone win or does everyone lose if we do that deal . I dont think everyone loses. Its an emotional issue, there has to be a level of compromise. Geraldo is right. You have to keep it simple if youre not going to keep it rationale. Both sides are incapable of a rationale discussion right now. Immigrants are not a class to be demonized and written off as a whole. The president is also trying to compromise here unlike a traditional republicans and democrats have to reach out and both sides have to stop acting like theyre so far apart. Its very straightforward. Democrats would be foolish to turn it down. Now so its emotionalized, its only about the midterms. I agree with that. The u. S. Kicking off joint military exercises with north korea. One fourstar general says the president s maximum Pressure Campaign is driving diplomacy with the rogue nation. Others think kim jongun may have Something Else in mind. Were watching the dow. Look at that. Taking quite a dip after china hitting back at the president s tariffs on steel and aluminum impor imports. Well see if a trade war is on or if the president s moves will protect American Workers. Thats next. Okay folks lets team up to get the lady of the house back on her feet.

Now you can get it, too. Welcome to the party. All right. We want to show you what is going on in Oklahoma City here. Tens of thousands of teachers from kentucky and oklahoma have walked out. Weve seen similar protests going on in other cities and other states. They were inspired of course by the West Virginia teachers that went on strike and got a pay raise from their state leaders. Other states like arizona have followed suit. A big walkout. Well keep an eye on it. They go to college, they have College Loans and paid 25,000 a year. No wonder they have complaints. They get more than that. A lot of teachers get very little money for collegeeducated people. Right now, the United States and south korea kicking off their military exercises ahead of a facetoface meeting between President Trump and kim jongun. The north vowing not to protest the drills as part of its agreement to meet with President Trump. General jack keane praising the commanderinchief for progress with pyongyang. The speed at this this diplomacy has removed is nothing is that right of remarkable and its due to one thing. The Trump Administrations maximum Pressure Campaign and also putting the military option back on the table. Im hopeful this is real on the part of the North Koreans and the chinese and is not just a delaying tactic to advance their technology, which is what theyve always done. Gop senator Lindsey Graham cease he believes john bolton has a different point of view. This is why i like john bolton as National Security adviser. Hes a very healthy skepticism of north korea. He thinks theyre buying time. Theyre nine months away to having a Nuclear Missile that can hit america. He sees this as buying time. Id caught them off a of the there path there. Make sure the negotiations were focused and get quick acc. At least were negotiating. Does the president deserve credit for that . Is it a good thing that you have someone in the National Security adviser roll that is more hawkish like john bolton . I think that its impossible not to give the president props for this break through. It is a breakthrough. More over, everybody can get this. The canary in the coal mine is kims response to the military exercises that he opposed if they had the exercises. If youll recall, firing on some south korean islands and doing other aggressive things to complain about the south korean u. S. Military exercises. So if kim stays silent on that, its a good indicator that there will be meaningful negotiations. Do you truth him, do you you think hes going to make the bomb or an exotic weapon, i dont know. If the past is an indicator, he will be sneaking around. You never know. Could be something great happening here and the president deserves credit. So trish, youre nodding here. Now kim jongun is taking a little bit more of a visual role. Normally they call it the hermit kingdom because he keeps to himself. He went to south korea, saw saw a kpop band. A performance in north korea. He took pictures with them. He liked it. He just visited china. Do you think that by appealing to his ego, the International Community will get him to join the world stage and denuclearize . Possibly. I think youre on something with appealing to the ego here. He wants to be recognized as a player on the International World stage. He Needs Nuclear Weapons to do that. Part of his problem is, hes thinking gosh, if i lose these things, am i no better off than qaddafi when it comes to my potential fate . In other words, if you look historically at others that have engaged in this kind of behavior and lost to their weapons, it hasnt always been the great outcome. That said, theres a window here. I hope to god theres a window here. I dont think our president is naive about this. Ambassador bolton has to scare kim jongun about this. Ambassador bolton is very aggressive on this front. You think . He and i have discussed this at length before. Im like lets use our economic power. Lets have china put pressure on north korea economically. Ambassador bolton wants ships. It has to be scary for them. Perhaps thats whats going on. He can have a bigger presence on the world stage and to what is right. The key difference between where we are now and where we were under president obama is kim jongun doesnt know what President Trump is capable of. President trump is demonstrating that in his rhetoric with fire and fury. And also in his actions. Remember what he did when he took office . It was the 59 tomahawk and dropping the mother of all bombs. He said im not missing around and theres a Different Administration around than president obama. We know its had effect. Theres reports that kim jongun reached out to folks trying to figure out who is this guy, what is he capable of. What does this mean and what do the negotiations do, they bear fruit or not . Yes dont know. We havent gotten there but at least were getting there there. In the e
