Waltz: Trump has FLIPPED the script...

[0:00] THE U.S. AMBASSADOR TO THE [0:01] UNITED NATION, MIKE WALTZ, JOINS [0:02] US RIGHT NOW. [0:03] AMBASSADOR, WELCOME TO YOU. [0:05] WHAT DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW [0:06] ABOUT THE CURRENT SITUATION AS [0:07] WE SPEAK? [0:09] WELL, THANKS, SANDRA. [0:11] AND AS THE VICE PRESIDENT SAID, [0:14] THEY'VE LAID OUT A VERY BASIC [0:16] FRAMEWORK FOR IRAN TO BEHAVE AS [0:20] A NORMAL NATION. [0:21] NUMBER ONE, STOP SUPPORTING [0:22] TERRORIST PROXIES. [0:23] NUMBER TWO, YOU CANNOT HAVE A [0:25] NUCLEAR PROGRAM, AS NOT ONLY [0:27] PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SAID, AS THE [0:29] UNITED NATIONS HAS SAID, IN [0:31] RESOLUTION AFTER RESOLUTION, FOR [0:33] DECADES, THAT'S BOTH ENRICHMENT [0:34] AND HIGHLY ENRICHED URANIUM. [0:37] AND YOU HAVE TO OPEN THE SEAL [0:38] LANES. [0:39] AND THAT'S THIS LATEST ACTION FROM [0:41] THE PRESIDENT THAT SAYS YOU [0:43] CANNOT, YOU CANNOT HOLD THE [0:46] ENTIRE WORLD HOSTAGE, YOU CANNOT, [0:48] EVEN THOUGH, YOU KNOW, THIS [0:50] IRANIUM REGIME STARTED ITS [0:52] EXISTENCE BY TRYING TO HOLD, BY [0:53] HOLDING AMERICANS HOSTAGE, YOU [0:55] CAN'T HOLD THE WORLD'S ECONOMY [0:56] HOSTAGE. [0:57] HE HAS FLIPPED THE SCRIPT. [0:59] YOU HAVE TREMENDOUS NAVAL [1:01] ASSETS THERE. [1:02] AND THE CENTRAL COMMAND JUST [1:05] PUT OUT ITS STATISTICS IN THE [1:07] SENSE OF IT IS TURNING IRANIAN [1:09] SHIPS AROUND. [1:10] IRAN DOESN'T GET TO CHOOSE THE [1:12] WINNERS AND LOSERS ON THE GLOBAL [1:13] ECONOMY. [1:14] THE UNITED STATES WILL DO THAT [1:16] UNTIL ALL SHIPS ARE OPEN. [1:18] SO NO SHIPS COME OUT OR ALL [1:20] SHIPS COME OUT. [1:21] YOU KNOW, THE STRAIGHT OF [1:23] HARMUZ WAS THE BIGGEST TRUMP [1:24] CARD THAT IRAN HELD. [1:25] THAT WAS THE BIGGEST POINT OF [1:26] LEVERAGE. [1:27] THE PRESIDENT SEEMS TO HAVE [1:29] TAKEN THAT AWAY FROM THEM. [1:30] AND IF HE CAN OPEN UP THE REST [1:32] OF THE STRAIGHT BY USING THE [1:34] TWO GUIDED MISSILE DESTROYERS [1:35] THAT ARE THERE NOW AND MINE [1:37] CLEARING EQUIPMENT THAT WE [1:38] HAVE GOT AND MAYBE SOME THAT [1:39] OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE AS WELL. [1:40] I MEAN, THE IRANIANS HAVE NO [1:41] CHOICE BUT TO COME BACK TO THE [1:42] TABLE. [1:43] WE PUT OUR TWO DESTROYERS [1:45] THROUGH. [1:46] MINE-SWEEPING OPERATIONS ARE [1:47] ONGOING, JOHN. [1:48] AND YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. [1:50] WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS DONE IS [1:52] TAKEN THAT LEVERAGE, TAKEN IRAN [1:54] TRYING TO HOLD THE ENTIRE WORLD'S [1:56] ECONOMIES HOSTAGE, HAS TAKEN THAT [1:58] OFF THE TABLE NOW WITH THIS [1:59] ACTION. [2:00] I MEAN, WE CANNOT, I CAN TELL [2:02] YOU FROM THE UNITED NATIONS [2:03] STANDPOINT, LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE [2:05] TWO PARTIES HAVE A CONFLICT, [2:06] REGARDLESS WHETHER YOU AGREE [2:07] WITH A CONFLICT OR NOT. [2:08] AND YOU HAVE, I DON'T KNOW, A [2:10] COUNTRY TRYING TO SHUT DOWN THE [2:11] STRAIGHT OF GIBRALTER OR THE [2:13] BEARING STRAIGHT OR ANY OTHER [2:15] INTERNATIONAL WATERWAY AS [2:16] LEVERAGE IN A CONFLICT. [2:17] WE'VE TAKEN THAT OFF THE TABLE [2:19] AND THAT ISOLATES THE WHOLE [2:20] ISSUE TO WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP [2:22] HAS BEEN CONSISTENT ON SINCE [2:24] THE 1980s, EVEN SINCE BEFORE [2:26] HE WAS IN POLITICS, WE CANNOT [2:31] HAVE A GENOCIDAL REGIME WITH [2:33] ITS FINGER ON A NUCLEAR BUTTON, [2:34] PERIOD. [2:35] AND I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU, I'M [2:37] JUST THANKFUL THAT FINALLY WE [2:39] HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO IS ACTUALLY [2:41] TAKING BOLD DECISIVE ACTION TO [2:42] TAKE CARE OF A PROBLEM BEFORE [2:44] IT'S AN ABSOLUTE CRISIS AND [2:46] BEFORE WE HAVE ZERO OPTIONS. [2:48] AND THAT IS WHAT, YOU KNOW, [2:51] HAVE NO DOUBT, THE IRANIUM [2:53] REGIME WAS LOOKING TO BUILD [2:55] MISSILES. [2:56] THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE [2:57] MISSILES. [2:58] WE SAW WHAT THEY'VE DONE WITH [3:00] JUST WHAT THEY HAD NOW. [3:01] IMAGINE ANOTHER YEAR OR TWO [3:02] YEARS, FIVE YEARS FROM NOW THAT [3:04] IT COULDN'T BE DEALT WITH AND [3:05] THEN THEY WERE FREE TO HAVE A [3:06] PROGRAM. [3:07] IMAGINE IF THEY PUT A NUKE [3:08] ON THE TOP OF ONE OF THOSE. [3:09] AMBASSADOR, I WANT TO GET [3:10] YOUR REACTION TO THIS. [3:11] THIS IS THE VICE PRESIDENT J.D. [3:12] VANCE ON WITH BRETT LAST [3:13] NIGHT, SPECIAL REPORT. [3:15] HE'S IDENTIFYING WHAT HE SAID [3:17] WERE SOME GOOD SIGNS EVEN THOUGH [3:19] NEGOTIATIONS WERE BREAKING DOWN [3:21] LAST WEEKEND. [3:23] I THINK THEY DID MAKE SOME [3:24] PROGRESS. [3:25] THEY MOVED IN OUR DIRECTION, [3:26] WHICH IS WHY I THINK WE WOULD [3:28] SAY THAT WE HAD SOME GOOD SIGNS, [3:30] BUT THEY DIDN'T MOVE FAR ENOUGH. [3:32] WHETHER WE HAVE FURTHER [3:33] CONVERSATIONS, WHETHER WE ULTIMATELY [3:34] GET TO A DEAL, I REALLY THINK [3:35] THE BALL IS IN THE IRANIAN COURT [3:37] BECAUSE WE PUT A LOT ON THE [3:38] TABLE. [3:39] WHAT DID YOU TAKE AWAY FROM [3:40] THAT? [3:41] WE HAVE TO REMEMBER, SANDRA, [3:43] THIS IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL TALKS [3:45] EVER BETWEEN THE IRANIAN REGIME [3:48] AND THE UNITED STATES. [3:50] THEY CAME, THEY WERE DIRECT, [3:53] WHICH THE PREVIOUS Ayatollah [3:55] HAD ABSOLUTELY REFUSED TO DO. [3:57] AND IT SEEMS AS PRESIDENT TRUMP [4:00] REPEATEDLY SAYS, THEY WANT A [4:02] DEAL, THEY NEED TO HAVE A DEAL. [4:04] THE OTHER INTERESTING THING [4:06] WAS THEY BROUGHT THEIR CENTRAL [4:07] BANKER. [4:08] I DON'T THINK PRESIDENT TRUMP [4:09] GETS ENOUGH CREDIT FOR THE [4:10] SECOND NATIONAL SECURITY [4:12] POLICY MEMORANDUM HE PUT IN [4:13] PLACE IN HIS SECOND TERM WAS TO [4:15] REINSTITUTE MAXIMUM PRESSURE. [4:18] THEIR ECONOMY IS IN FREE FALL [4:20] AT THE U.N. [4:21] WE DROVE SNAPBACK SANCTIONS. [4:23] SO THE REST OF THE WORLD HAS [4:25] JOINED US. [4:26] SO TIME IS NOT ON THEIR SIDE [4:27] HERE. [4:28] AND AS PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS, WE [4:30] HAVE THE CARDS, NOT IRAN. [4:32] WE'LL SEE IF THEY COME BACK FOR [4:33] A REASONABLE DEAL. [4:34] ONE OF MY FAVORITE SIGNS [4:36] BY THE ROCK BAND THE WHO INCLUDES [4:37] THE LINE, MEET THE NEW BOSS, [4:38] SAME AS THE OLD BOSS. [4:39] IT SEEMS THAT'S WHERE WE ARE [4:42] WITH GALABOF AND IRAQCHI. [4:43] IT'S STILL THE SAME OLD REGIME. [4:45] THEY'RE AN OUTLIER IN THAT [4:46] REGION UNLIKE ALL THE OTHER [4:47] COUNTRIES IN THE PERSIAN GULF, [4:49] INCLUDING SAUDI ARABIA. [4:50] MOVING TOWARD MORE PROGRESSIVE, [4:52] MODERNIZATION, PEACE AND [4:53] STABILITY, PROSPERITY. [4:54] IRAN WANTS TO REMAIN A ROGUE [4:56] REGIME. [4:57] AND IF THE SAME REGIME IS IN [4:59] PLACE, CAN YOU EVER HAVE REAL [5:01] PEACE AND STABILITY ACROSS THAT [5:02] REGION OR ARE THEY GOING TO [5:04] CONTINUE TO TRY TO SCREW WITH [5:05] EVERYBODY THERE? [5:06] THEY HAVE THEIR RADICAL [5:07] ACTORS, NO DOUBT, WHO SOLELY [5:09] EXISTS TO EXPORT THE [5:10] REVOLUTION. [5:11] AND AS I POINTED OUT TO THE [5:13] AMBASSADOR FROM IRAN AT THE [5:15] UNITED NATIONS, NAME ME A [5:17] COUNTRY THAT IS BETTER OFF [5:18] BECAUSE OF IRAN'S EXPORT OF [5:19] TERRORISM. [5:20] CERTAINLY NOT LEBANON, CERTAINLY [5:21] NOT SYRIA, CERTAINLY NOT YEMEN, [5:23] GAZA, ANYWHERE ELSE. [5:24] BUT WE DO THINK WE'RE DEALING [5:26] WITH SOME RATIONAL ACTORS. [5:27] THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE [5:29] CLERICS AND THEY HAVE TO DEAL [5:31] WITH THE AYATOLAHS. [5:32] BUT LOOK RIGHT ACROSS THE GULF. [5:34] LOOK AT THIS IS WHAT I POINT [5:36] OUT TOO. [5:37] LOOK AT DUBAI. [5:38] LOOK AT KUWAIT CITY. [5:40] OMAN. [5:41] THEY ARE EXPLODING IN TERMS OF [5:44] GROWTH AND A BETTER LIFE. [5:46] FOR NOT ONLY THEIR CITIZENS BUT [5:48] FOR THE NEXT GENERATION. [5:49] WE'LL SEE IF WE DON'T BOX THEM [5:50] IN. [5:51] ONE THING THAT'S HOLDING THAT [5:53] WHOLE REGION BACK IS IRAN. [5:54] AND FOR SO MANY PEOPLE WHO TALK [5:56] ABOUT THE PIVOT TO ASIA, YOU [5:58] KNOW WHAT? [5:59] WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP FINALLY [6:00] SOLVES THIS PROBLEM THAT SUCKS [6:01] US BACK IN THE MIDDLE EAST [6:03] OVER AND OVER AGAIN BECAUSE OF [6:05] THE VIOLENCE THAT IRAN [6:06] EXPORTS, THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO [6:08] REALLY FOCUS ON THE REST OF [6:09] THE WORLD. [6:10] ALL RIGHT. [6:11] AMBASSADOR, THANK YOU SO [6:13] MUCH FOR JOINING US. [6:14] ALL RIGHT. [6:16] AMBASSADOR, THANK YOU SO MUCH [6:17] FOR JOINING US TODAY. [6:19] ALL RIGHT. [6:20] THANK YOU.
