  Speaker 1: It is a busy news afternoon here. Breaking just moments ago,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: President Trump announcing a massive Russian diesel shipment, saying it
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: will drive down fuel prices here at home.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: U.S.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Ambassador to the U.N. Michael Waltz is now joining us.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Great that we have you here as this news is breaking, Ambassador.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Thank you for being here in New York City. President
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Trump said he just concluded a conversation with Vladimir Putin,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: this breaking just now. It was agreed that Russia will
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: immediately supply over 300,000 tons of diesel to America and
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the global marketplace. Is this a good idea, a deal
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: with Russia?
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Well, first, Sandra, we have to make a distinction.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: There's a distinction between what's happening in the Straits of Hormuz,
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: which is oil coming out that's now coming out from
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: our Gulf partners, almost a pre-war level, not coming from
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Iran due to our blockade, different than refining oil.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Capacity. We've seen Europe close.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Down all of their refineries over the years. Heck, even
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: California just shut down two refineries. And of course, the
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Ukrainians have been attacking Russian refineries as part of the war.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: The president has been clear in asking the Ukrainians to
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: stop and asking, you know, from the perspective of the
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: global economy suffering, it's diesel that powers our tractors, our trucks,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: our our airplanes around the world, and this is an effort,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: at least for the next few months, to get more
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: diesel out on the world market, he is still absolutely
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: determined to drive this war to an end. So, look,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: for those that will, I think, kind of throw their
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: hands up, The president, his envoys, all of us have
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: been talking to Ukrainians and Russians about stopping attacks on grain,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: on fertilizer, on diesel, and other commodities that are powering
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: the world economy as part of this war.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, so diesel prices, we know this has been a
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: major problem for so much business and commerce here in
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the United States.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: It's $ 6.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: 50 last I look, a gallon. President Trump says that
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Russia will immediately supply another 500,000 tons during the month
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of November, a million tons immediately thereafter. I mean, this
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: is a massive amount. How much do you think this
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: could actually bring down prices? And do you believe diesel
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: prices could return to pre-Iran war levels?
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Well, look, I'll leave it to the energy experts like
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Secretary Chris Wright in terms of how quickly that will
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: drive prices down. But it will drive prices down. And
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: that's not just the United States. I mean, we have
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: famines in East Africa. We have people suffering around the world,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: both from the grain that's not coming out of Ukraine
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: and Russia now, the fertilizer that's not coming out, and
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: now the diesel that's not coming out. That's why we're
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: trying to drive at least some temporary ceasefires and attacks on.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Each other's infrastructure.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: But again, it's all the more reason that President Trump
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: has said from day one, the war needs to end.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Got it.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Can I get an update from you on the U.S. sanctions?
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Here's the Wall Street Journal headline. And threatening to dismantle
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the International Criminal Court. We know Marco Rubio spoke to this,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: but what is the message that you're sending to the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: criminal court here with this move?
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: The United States, this president, our Secretary of State, will
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: always defend American sovereignty. And what I don't think people
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: fully understand is the United States never signed up to
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: the treaty, it's called the Rome Statute, that makes countries
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: under the authority of the International Criminal Court. So we
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: have right now this court investigating American soldiers from actions
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: 20 years ago in Afghanistan.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: You know I was a veteran.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Anytime we have horrific civilian casualties, it's an accident. But
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: the last thing that we want, that I think the
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: American people or this president should stand for, are international
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: globalist courts with no authority over the United States, with
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: no jurisdiction over the United States. Who knows what their
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: evidentiary standards are or who their prosecutors, by the way,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I'll note, Jack Smith was one of their prosecutors years ago.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: or even how they appoint their judges, we have a
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: judicial system, we have.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: A uniform code of military justice.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Is the goal to dismantle the criminal court?
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Well, look, I think the goal is to protect American sovereignty.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: What they end up doing to other countries is on
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: them that signed up to that treaty, but we're going
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: to defend American soldiers, American citizens. We could see a
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: situation where they even go after American leaders. as they're
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: doing other leaders around the world. We never signed up
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: for it.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Before you go, what is the update with Iran, and
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: is Iran openly defying President Trump's demands to abandon all
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: their nuclear ambitions?
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: There is no country in the world that has to
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: enrich to weapons grade that isn't pursuing a nuclear weapon,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: that supposedly just wants civilian power.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Number one.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Number two, there's no country in the world that buries
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: it under hundreds of feet of solid granite. And number three, look,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: there are protocols for countries like the United Arab Emirates
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: that do have civilian nuclear power, and they subscribe to
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: those inspections, those protocols. Iran is doing none of that. Meanwhile,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Scott Besant has his foot on the neck.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Of the Iranian economy.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: No oil going out, currency tanking, foreign currency reserves gone.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Time is on the president's side.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: They have already tried under the UN General Assembly to
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: come back and offer a deal, but it was a
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: garbage deal. And President Trump doesn't take bad deals. He
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: is going to end this regime's pursuit of a nuclear weapon, period.
• 5:38
