  Speaker 1: All right.

  Speaker 2: week is President Trump. He's gearing up for a big
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: week of foreign policy meetings.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: That's right. He'll join leaders from around the world addressing

  Speaker 3: Madeline Rivera joins us live with the details. Good morning, Maddie.
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: Hi, good morning. President Trump is expected to repeat his
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: calls that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon when he
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: addresses the United Nations General Assembly in New York next week.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: Despite the war, the State Department has allowed a core
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: Iranian delegation to attend the event. Iranian President Masoud Pazeshkian
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: is reportedly one of the officials who has been granted
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: a visa. You see him there. But a senior administration
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: official did not say whether there will be any meetings
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: between the U.S. and Iran. The General Assembly comes against
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: the backdrop of Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to D.C.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: China's relationship with Iran is under the spotlight. China is
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: accused of propping up Iran's war machine by buying its oil,
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: supplying the regime with weapons and even intelligence that's helping
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: to target U.S. troops, allegedly. Days ago, The Wall Street
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: Journal reported Iran had obtained high-resolution satellite images of a U.S.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: base in Jordan from Chinese entities. before an attack that
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: killed three American service members. Democratic Senator Elisa Slotkin says
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: in a letter, I urge you, as commander-in-chief, to make
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: clear to President Xi that this support must stop immediately
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: and that there will be consequences China will face if
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: it fails to act. China has dismissed the concerns, and
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: the president has been careful about his comments regarding Xi
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: as the two leaders navigate other topics like trade and AI.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: The president indicates, once again, the conflict with Iran might
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: not extend much longer. OK, last week, though, the president
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: did not say whether the war could end before the midterms.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: Charlie Wachland with.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Maddie.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Maddie.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: It's good stuff.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: But the president's saying he would like it to end.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: And it's very interesting. You know, he's been sending all
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: these different envoys over, Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Even J.D.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Vance took a stab at trying to end this thing.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, wouldn't it be amazing if the president met
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: with the representative there from Iran here in New York City?
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: The president's going to be here for the U.N.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: General Assembly.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, I really believe that only President Trump could
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: make this deal of the century, to end this. And
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: imagine if he ended it before the midterms. You know,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: one of the things that's been— you know, this has been.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: The biggest drag.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you look at all the successes of
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the Trump administration, they are huge, culturally, economically. The only
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: drag for him right now is this war in Iran.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: He's accomplished so much of what he's wanted to do
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: in terms of diminishing economic the Iranian capabilities and really
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: kind of put them on their back feet.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: You look over at Israel.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Netanyahu is also facing a campaign. This war helps Benjamin
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Netanyahu in his election. It actually— hurts President Trump. I
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: think it's time for President Trump to end it, declare victory.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: And I think, you know, he's got.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: A big war chest, Charlie.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: He's got great candidates who are running in the midterms.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I do not think it's the end for him. I
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: think there's a lot of, you know, Mark Halperin was
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: talking on his podcast about how many inexperienced candidates there
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: are on the left, and how much the president's war chest,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the midterm war chest, is really in the Republicans' favor.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: End this war? I think he has a shot of
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: maybe keeping one of the chambers.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Of course, nothing is more delightful than watching President Trump
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: go into the belly of the beast at the U.N.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: and call them out on all their stuff. And again
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: and again, every time he does this and he goes
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: into the den of his enemies and he confronts them,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: he winds up making everybody, the United States, but also
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: winds up making everybody stronger and better. And we saw
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: it with him confronting NATO for the NATO countries not
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: paying their fair share in NATO. He confronted them. Everybody
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: freaked out, said he was attacking NATO. No, actually, what
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: he was doing is he was making them stronger. Also
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: see this with Greenland. He he everybody freaks out when
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: he says we want to take over. And then what
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: you wind up with is a deal that is not
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: only great for America, which is the most important thing,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: but also is a great security deal for Greenland.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see what his message is at
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the U.N. General Assembly. But one thing is for sure,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: there's high pressure on the teleprompter operators. Yesterday, the president
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: in the Oval Office was railing on the fact— remember, the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: last time he spoke there, the speech wasn't there. He
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: was very upset.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Meanwhile— And the escalator operator.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: And the escalator, which was a very dangerous situation. He
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: was rightfully— he and Melania— rightfully angry about that. Hopefully, the U.N.,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: who is deeply funded by the United States, learns their
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: lesson in how to treat our president when he arrives.
• 5:04
