Rocket man is on a Suicide Mission for himself and for his regime. Critics claim the president s rhetoric on north korea could lead us to war. Boy, were they as shocked by the break through that no one saw coming. The prospect of a peaceful resolution to the nuclear standoff. Kim jongun is willing to meet in person with President Trump for talks. This is a stunning development. Heres more from secretary of state Rex Tillerson. This was the most forward leaning report in terms of kim jonguns not just willingness but his strong desire for talks. What changed was his posture in a dramatic way that came as a surprise to us as well. That he was so forward leaning in his conversations with the delegation from south korea. It will take several weeks to agree on timing and location of the talks, but the president said it will happen by may. He is winning some unusual praise from critics, but there is skepticism about the upcoming sit down. Why has no sitting american president ever met with a leader from north korea . Why has that never happened . Why hasnt any other president done this . Shouldnt i take that to mean this might be a risky or unwise move . There is a better chance that a meeting between kim jongun and donald trump could be successful. This is a break through if he play with right. Kim jongun is getting something that his father and grandfather wanted. The optices of sitting down at the table as equals facetoface with the president of the United States. In this case donald trump. Dana perino, do you think the president is getting appropriate consideration for the steps he has taken that resulted in this . I think so. He is getting a net plus in terms of coverage. A little dose of skepticism. Not about the president but about kim jongun. Appropriately so. In 1996 and 2005 they tried the same thing. Not facetoface talks but talks in exchange for something. In this case it seems that depending on what kim jongun does, they might get nothing for it. They want the talks for what . He said he wont do any missile tests between now and when this meeting takes place. We have not heard other things as to what kim jongun wants. Its a different situation now because he has Nuclear Weapons now. He comes to the table in a different position. There is no doubt that the president s stance and his willingness to be really tough plus, there is this thing that kim jongun was worried he would become saddam hussein. There is a reason kadafi turned over his Nuclear Weapons. Is President Trump getting enough credit . I think so. Also he cant worry about that too much. Looking back this could be very popular. For example, when he said fire and fury last spring and there was a huge fire fight about that in the media. My gosh, he will lead us to nuclear war. Looking back and each in vanity fair and the new york times, several people are saying that actually worked in getting to this point. On balance he is getting credit if thats what the goal is. The goal should not be credit. Its the outcome denuclearization of north korea. Absolutely. Nevertheless, if you look at the time frame here congressman, this is a quick turn about for President Trump coming in and being able to achieve this diplomatic accord to sit down with him. It reminds me of what reagan did. Took a doctrine of peace through strength. Donald trump laid down the line early and would do what it took to protect the United States and protect guam and the allies around the world. I think thats paying off in great dividends. It did happen quickly. If they delay the timeline we need to let this play out. President trump put us in a position where we can prevail and make the world a better and safer place. If they demolished mount rushmoore and put 4 obama heads right. There the point about the optices. Kim is getting something for nothing. It may help rocket man. But, why wouldnt he do it . Thats going to be part of the deal. It will probably help him survive. In order for this to succeed, we have to be superskeptical and make sure there is restitution for Otto Warmbier. President trump spent time with his dad. I am sure that will be part of the deal. What happened to Otto Warmbier . Who was responsible for that horrible treatment and punish them. Thats as big to me personally as making sure there are inspectors there to look at their nukes. I think it should be part of. It you cant let him get away with that. Obviously the sanctions worked. The sanctions worked because i would call the sanctions the trump handshake. It doesnt let go and gets tighter and tighter. It can go on forever. He targeted countries. I am centical but i will centical but i will say this. Skeptical but i will say this. Its an interesting contrast between republicans and democrats. Democrats are like the single parent. Republicans are like both parents. You have the carrot and the stick. Democrats think all they have to do is yell world peace and it will happen. No, you need a carrot and a stick. I think trump has been really good at weilding that stick. Juan . I heard rhetoric that was threatening and hostile and made people fear that President Trump might do a strike against north korea. I dont think it led to this. What i think what led to this was the south korea president actually taking the risk of coming together and saying we want to reunify and be one. Why dont you North Koreans join us at the olympic and have talks. Talks with vicepresident pence broke down. But the south korea president did meet. Today Rex Tillerson the secretary of state said its a surprise to us speaking of the Trump Administration that you get kim changing his posture in this way. Today at the white house. Sarah sanders was unsure. We want to make sure he is going to as a precondition to any talks denuke first. Sarah sanders made it seem like we are not sure about this. Tillerson said sitting down to talk is not negotiation. A big win for trump or not, is he getting enough credit or not . I think the real issue is how do we deal as a country with north korea . Are we doing so effectively . South koreas said it was the presence of donald trump that led to this. If you go back to republican administrations, even like to bush and clinton and obama, all of them tried to make a deal. Its not their failing. I think its the failing of the north korea regime to hold to their word. Their word was with 6party talks. They always lied. You nailed it by mentions all of the past president s. This is different. We are the crazy person on the street for once. That is working. He is unpredictable. You dont know what he will do and unpredictability is a great card to have in your hand. North korea was facing somebody who might actually nuke you. Thats a first. They didnt expect anybody else to do that. This guy might do it. The way the sanctions are going, this guy it wont end well for us and it may still not end well for kim. I am worried about the people in north korea. We still have to address that. If they are still starving. Do we want to say its better for the world for denuclearization . I wonder if the rhetoric everybody is saying because trump had this bellicose rhetoric, that shifted kims posture. I dont know that. [overlapping talking]. Dennis wilder said the chinese have done something that changed the way that kim regime is able to use currency. I dont understand how that dark money stuff works. If the regime doesnt pay off the general managers to keep them in line, he has to do something. They have a south korea president they didnt have during the Obama Administration who is much more willing to say to north korea. Lets work this out. We have a president who is willing to do that it takes to stop north korea from having Nuclear Weapons and kim jongun is squeezed off so let me see if i can get him to the table. Its unconventional but i think its part of the puzzle and piece that worked here. [overlapping talking]. E he has Nuclear Weapons now. And chinas influence. Will Dennis Rodman go . I hope so. Lets not dumb down the segment. Some news that will knock your socks off about the trump economy next. There are two types of people in the world. Those who fear the future. And those who embrace it. The future is for the unafraid. This is a tomato you can track from farm, to pot, to jar, to table. And serve with confidence that its safe. This is a diamond you can follow from mine to finger, and trust it never fell into the wrong hands. This is a shipment transferred two hundred times, transparently tracked from port to port.

Thanks for doing that for me. Democrats are laser focussed on collusion and trump allegations that the good news about the trump economy likely went right over their heads. U. S. Employers added the most workers. 313,000. The Unemployment RateHolding Steady for the fifth month. And the Trump Administration tax cuts lifted optimism among consumers and businesses. The democrats have to hate that, dont they juan . No, this is good news. To me what you want is an economy that is growing and continues to improve. In that sense thanks to obama. [laughing]. I will say this. I think this is good news for everyo everyone. There is concern about wages not going up. People made fun of that under obama and talked about labor force participation. Its the about same. What we have seen here is things are going well. We continue to grow. Optimism on the part of consumers continues to grow. The stock market had ups and downs. With regard to gary cohn leaving, the stock market was in flux. You see the numbers bump today is good news. Its also kimberlys birthday. I am sure that has something to do with it. Happy birthday. Thank you very much. What do you think of these numbers . I am encouraged. Wouldnt anyone be, democrat or republican . Dont we want people to have jobs and less regulation, tax reform . I think the numbers are fantastic. This is something that all american businessing should be happy about. It creates opportunity. Growth in the market for others to get in and increase the work force so we have more families doing well and providing it back into the economic stream. Greg, was this because of president obama or the change of guard in the presidency have a little to do with it . Your answer is meanwhile the democrats are planing to raise taxes. Repeal and replace. Thats the answer about president obama. 313,000, the same number of people in the media working to impeach trump. Thats very funny. Deflection tells when you there is good news. Stormy daniels is now a cnn contributor. If you turn it all its all stormy. All bad weather. Historic lows in black unemployment and hispanic unemployment and donald trump pardons a navy seal who was charged with taking pictures in a nuclear sub. He does that as an afterthought. Its such a departure. Compare that to when he shortened Chelsea Mannings prison term. Household net worth is up to 100 trillion dollars. Thats up 44 trillion dollars since 2009. Thats obviously not trump. More households are moving into the high income house holds. Capitalism is working and we should be very happy. Dana . If you unleash the economy and the tax cuts have done that, you can see an economy operating at the very highest level. You said this is the highest number since february of 2016. I dont remember what was happening then. I am sure we didnt tout how fabulous the economy was. This was set up as the media wont cover this. Thats unfortunately. I think people see this in their local newspapers. Across the country, if you are getting a bonus its in the paper. If you are seeing new businesses open up. People are willing to take risks. If you have more capital in the economy, people will take risks and open up a business. Even older people are going back into the work force. Finding new jobs like that. I am pretty sure if john podesta paid 130,000 to pay off somebody in bill clintons world that was salacious there would be coverage. Every Media Organization gets to make a choice. We all know what trump is. Trump said i am not a role model. Thats why Stormy Daniels doesnt resonate with americans. And the unemployment figures the lowest in 49 years. Thats a big deal. At the end of the day to the media it resonates. Americans know what they elected. Donald trump is attracted to adult film stars. I think thats not shocking. I dont think attracting is the word. Thats how it starts. Thats how biology works. The average person, the Steel Workers they are feeling good about life and companies are as well. Thats having the biggest impact on the economy.

View cohost joy behar made a mistake mocking our vicepresident s face last month. Its one thing to talk to jesus. Its another thing when jesus talks to you. Exactly. Thats different. [laughing]. Mental illness if i am not correct. Hearing voices. We have learned she apollized to pence for attacking his religious beliefs. She called the vicepresident to say she was sorry. He encouraged her to apologyize publicly to the millions of christians who watch her show simple this about abc and business or religious faith . A lot of people take their faith seriously. You can believe whatever you want in this country and we should encourage that. What is not tolerable is when somebody mocks you for that. This is a base with millions of americans who believe in these things. Its striking that you have the people who preach the most tolerance and are the least tolerant. Lets see if she will do it publy and be sincere and say its okay if you believe in jesus christ in this country. That message should get out. People should not be mocked on national tv for believing in their own faith. Or not believing. We take care of you, man. I dont have a problem being a christian in the United States. We attack you for other things. I know. I do think its important to take a step back and remember that all of this started with omarosa on big brother said if you are worried about trump as president , you should worry if trump disappears and mike pence comes on. He has had conversations with jesus and thinks jesus is telling him what to say. Thats what started the conversation on the view. Dana, are we right to be critical of joy behar for this . Thats interesting that nobody asked omarosa to apologize to the vicepresident. There is a fine line. I could imagine that pence listened to the apology and forgave her. Thats what his religion tells him to do and he lives his faith. On television sometimes you say things that you regret. I am sure that the ceo of disney was reluctant to be policing what is being said on air. I just would never say that. I would say everyone gets a choice. When you open your mouth, you get to say whatever you want. She had to own it. Kimberly, pat robinson said they should pull the show. Its so offensive. Are conservatives looking at this as a way to go after a show they dont like . No. I think it was appropriate that she made the apology and called him directly. Obviously its a concern because it was raised by a shareholder. Its a serious situation. People are offended. They have to think about it from a ratings perspective, also in terms of the public approach. What are people thinking about this . There are millions in this country americans that practice their faith and their religion. They deserve to have the respect to do that. Not only that, to say that about the vicepresident , i am quite certain that joy regrets those comments. Abc doesnt applaud them. They brought up all of the Trump Supporters as well. Listen, you offended people and said terrible things about the president and the vicepresident and christians in america. She apologized. Greg, evangelicals and trump and his scandal . I dont know about that. You would have to ask them. Not me. [laughing]. You know, i would not have apologize i guess. Thats an odd situation to put somebody in. She offended people but we offend people. And you are never sorry. I have been sorry before and i was forced to apologize. Its not an apology if it is forced. Joy behar, we know what joy behar is. Sh
