特朗普称将对伊朗做出重大决定，或达成协议或摧毁该国

LIVE FROM WASHINGTON, D.C., THIS IS "BALANCE OF POWER," WITH JOE MATHIEU AND KAILEY LEINZ. JOE: PRESIDENT TRUMP IS HE HAS A DECISION TO MAKE. WELCOME TO THE TUESDAY EDITION OF "BALANCE OF POWER" AS THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS TO THE "BALANCE OF POWER GENERAL ASSEMBLY ABOUT THE CHOICE HE FACES WITH IRAN, MAKE A ANNIHILATE THE COUNTRY. I'M JOE MATHIEU ALONGSIDE KAILEY LEINZ IN WASHINGTON. THE PRESIDENT WITH SOME STARK RHETORIC FOR WORLD LEADERS TODAY.

KAILEY: CERTAINLY, AS HE TOUTS THE UNITED STATES' ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN HIS SECOND TERM, INCLUDING IN HIS WORDS THE ENDING OF EIGHT WARS. HE STILL HAS THE RUSSIA-UKRAINE WERE GOING AND THE IRAN WAR. THE PRESIDENT BELIEVES HIS CHOICE WILL BE MADE AFTER THE MIDTERMS. JOE: ONCE AGAIN IRAN IS -- SUGGESTING IRAN IS LEVERAGING DOMESTIC POLITICS. THE MARKET IS LISTENING FOR ANY DEVELOPMENTS BECAUSE THERE IS SEPARATE REPORTING AND THE PRESIDENT ACKNOWLEDGED THAT TALKS ARE HAPPENING EVEN TODAY.

THERE COULD BE A DEAL AT HAND. KAILEY: AND WE KNOW MORE TALKS ARE HAPPENING THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE DAY AND LATER THIS WEEK AS PRESIDENT XI JINPING OF CHINA GET SET TO VISIT THE WHITE HOUSE. THE PRESIDENT TALKED ABOUT AI OR I GUESS WE SHOULD BE CALLING IT SI. ALL U.S. DOCUMENTATION IS CHANGING THE NAME TO SUPER INTELLIGENCE AND THE PRESIDENT WANTS TO WIN THAT SI RACE. JOE: I'M THINKING HE MEANS SPORTS ILLUSTRATED WHENEVER I SEE THAT WRITTEN.

WE WILL HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH ONE OF THE STAKEHOLDERS ABOUT AI REGULATION, WHICH THE PRESIDENT CALLED THE GLOBALIST SCHEME. WE WILL TALK TO ONE HALF OF THE BILL TO REGULATE AI, THE FRONTIER ACT. IT IS A DEBATE THAT CONTINUES TO FIND NEW CONTOURS. I'LL BE CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT SHE THINKS. KAILEY: WE WILL BE SPEAKING WITH REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN CARLOS GIMENEZ. LET'S BEGIN WITH A CHECK ON THE MARKETS AS WE ALWAYS DO. CHARLIE PELLETT.

CHARLIE: LITTLE CHANGE RIGHT NOW ONE OF THE S&P 500, BUT SIGNIFICANTLY BACK IN THE GREEN. THE KEY TAKEAWAY AT THIS HOUR I ONE POINT. CISCO. THE DOW. JPMORGAN CHASE MOVING LOWER AMONG DOWN NAMES. NASDAQ 100 COULD SEE ANOTHER RECORD UP BY 0.5%. WE HAVE THE TWO-YEAR, 4.75%. THE 30 YEAR, FIVE POINT 30%. GOLD DOWN 0.2%. WEST TEXAS INTERMEDIATE CRUDE NOW AT 96.50 A BARREL. ENERGY TRADERS WATCHING DEVELOPMENTS OUT OF THE U.S.

BRENT MOVING LOWER. ALIBABA ROLLING OUT WHAT IT CALLS CHINA'S MOST POWERFUL AI CHIP, AN ACCELERATOR TO COMPETE WITH NVIDIA. ALIBABA UP BY ABOUT 0.5%. NVIDIA UP 0.9 PERCENT. THAT IS A BLOOMBERG BUSINESS FLASH. KAILEY: OUR EYES ARE ON NEW YORK AS PRESIDENT TRUMP IS STILL THERE HAVING JUST CONCLUDED A MEETING WITH ANDY BURNHAM. TECHNICALLY THIS SPEECH WHEN SMOOTHER THAN LAST YEAR. THE TELEPROMPTER WAS WORKING, THE ESCALATOR WAS WORKING.

THE PRESIDENT HAD A NUMBER OF MESSAGES AROUND AMERICAN STRENGTH AROUND THE WORLD INCLUDING DEFENDING HIS WAR AGAINST IRAN AND SUGGESTING THAT WE KNOW THAT FRONT HE HAS A DECISION TO MAKE SOON.

BUT I HAVE A BIG DECISION TO MAKE. WILL A DEAL BE MADE WITH IRAN THAT LETS THEM REBUILD AND CREATE A FAR GREATER COUNTRY THAN IT EVER WAS BEFORE? MAYBE ONE OF THE GREATEST IN THE MIDDLE EAST OR EVEN THE WORLD. OR DO I ANNIHILATE THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC AND DO IT QUICKLY, NEVER GIVING THEM A CHANCE TO KILL AND DESTROY PEOPLE AND COUNTRIES AGAIN? DO I DRIVE THEM INTO HELL WITH NO CHANCE OF SURVIVAL AND NO HOPE OF FUTURE GREATNESS OR GENERATIONS?

BUT I BELIEVE WE WILL MAKE A DEAL RIGHT AFTER THE ELECTION. BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE FOR THEM NOT TO. JOE: THE PRESIDENT A SHORT TIME AGO AT THE U.N. AND WE BRING YOU THERE WITH BLOOMBERG WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT TYLER KENDALL WHO HAS BEEN COVERING THE PRESIDENT'S TRIP TO NEW YORK FOR US. OTTOMAN NEW YORK, THE FIRST DAY OF FALL AND A CHILI ROSE GARDEN OUTSIDE THE U.N. THE PRESIDENT HOLDING A SERIES OF MEETINGS AND IN THE MEETING WITH THE U.K.

PRIME MINISTER SAID TALKS WITH IRAN ARE UNDERWAY TODAY? TYLER: RIGHT, ACCORDING TO THE PRESIDENT SPEAKING WITH REPORTERS REALLY JUST MOMENTS AGO HE SAID HE BELIEVES THAT A DEAL WITH IRAN WILL BE REACHED AND THAT THEY HAVE BEEN TALKING EVERY DAY INCLUDING TODAY. AFTER WE SAW THAT RHETORIC YOU JUST PLAYED FROM THE PRESIDENT REITERATING THE U.S. HAS A CHOICE TO PURSUE DIPLOMACY OR ESCALATE WHEN IT COMES TO KINETIC MILITARY ACTION IN IRAN.

THIS WHITE HOUSE HAS LONG SAID THAT THEY WOULD PURSUE THE DIPLOMATIC ROUTE, THAT THAT WOULD BE THE OPTION THAT THEY WOULD PREFER, THAT IS WHAT WE SAW THE WHITE HOUSE ESCALATE ITS ECONOMIC PRESSURE CAMPAIGN. INTERESTING THIS MESSAGING IS COMING FROM THE PRESIDENT BECAUSE I WOULD POINT OUT THAT WITHIN THE LAST 30 MINUTES OR SO FROM IRANIAN STATE MEDIA SAYING IRAN INTENDS TO DETAIN ANY SHIPS MAKING WHAT THEY ARE CALLING UNAUTHORIZED TRANSITS THROUGH THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ UNLESS THEY PAY A 20% FEE RELATED TO THE VALUE OF THEIR CARGO AND THAT IS NOT GOING TO GO OVER WELL WITH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CONSIDERING WE GOT A PREVIEW FROM MIKE WALLS EARLIER TODAY PREVIEWING TO REPORTERS WHAT TO EXPECT IN TERMS OF DIPLOMACY ONE OF THE GROUND AND HE SAID FREEDOM OF NAVIGATION WOULD BE A MAJOR FOCUS WHETHER THAT BE IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ OR IN THE RED SEA.

KAILEY: BLOOMBERG'S TYLER KENDALL LIVE IN THE ROSE GARDEN OUTSIDE THE UNITED NATIONS, GREAT COVERAGE THROUGH THE DAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH AND WELL IRAN, THE WAR WITH UKRAINE, AND RUSSIA AND ARTIFICIAL OR SUPER INTELLIGENCE WERE ALL COMPONENTS OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SPEECH, HE TOOK SOME TIME TO CALL OUT THE CUBAN REGIME WHICH HE SAID IS LIKELY TO FALL EVEN AS MEMBERS OF THE CUBAN DELEGATION TO THE UNITED NATIONS WALKED OUT AT HIS WORDS.

IT IS AN ABSOLUTELY FAILED STATE, FAILING LIKE NEVER BEFORE AND IT WILL FALL. MARCO RUBIO IS HANDLING THE NEGOTIATION, HE IS DEEP INTO THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CUBA. WE WILL NOT ALLOW A HAVEN FOR FOREIGN ADVERSARIES TO THREATEN AMERICA ON OUR OWN DOORSTEP. KAILEY: FOR MORE ON THIS AND OTHER ISSUES WE TURN TO REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN CARLOS GIMENEZ. HE SERVES ON THE HOUSE ARMED SERVICES AND CHINA SELECT COMMITTEES AND HE IS ALSO CUBAN BORN.

CONGRESSMAN, WELCOME BACK TO BLOOMBERG AND RADIO. WE KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE YOU FEEL PASSIONATELY ABOUT EVEN ASKED THE PRESIDENT CRITICIZES THE COMMUNIST REGIME IN CUBA HE WILL LATER THIS WEEK BE GRADING THE COMMUNIST CHINESE PRESIDENT XI JINPING AT THE WHITE HOUSE, HOW DO YOU RECONCILE THOSE TWO THINGS?

WELL, ONE OF THEM IS XI JINPING, THE LEADER OF THE SECOND MOST POWERFUL NATION IN THE WORLD AND CUBA IS NOWHERE CLOSE TO THAT. CUBA IS 90 MILES AWAY FROM OUR SHORES AND THEY POSE A SIGNIFICANT NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT IN OUR OWN HEMISPHERE, SO WHILE HE HAS TO DEAL WITH XI JINPING, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE COMMUNIST REGIME THAT IS 90 MILES AWAY FROM OUR SHORE. I WOULD HOPE THE PRESSURE CONTINUES. CUBA IS A FAILED REGIME, THEY CAN'T EVEN KEEP THE LIGHTS ON OR FEED THEIR PEOPLE, THEIR HOSPITALS ARE IN SHAMBLES, THE WHOLE SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE IT IS COMMUNISM AND THAT HAS NEVER WORKED.

I HOPE THE PRESSURE KEEPS GOING AND THAT THE REGIME COLLAPSES BECAUSE THE CUBAN PEOPLE DESERVE FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY. JOE: YOU HAVE BEEN VERY CONSISTENT ON THIS CONGRESSMAN AND I WONDER IF YOU THINK IT MUDDIES THE MESSAGE WHEN THE PRESIDENT IS NOT ONLY SITTING DOWN THIS WEEK WITH DELCY RODRIGUEZ, BUT FATTING THE LEADER OF COMMUNIST CHINA HERE IN WASHINGTON, D.C., NOT ONLY MEETING HIM AT THE AIRPORT, BUT THE FULL STATE DINNER.

I REALIZE DIPLOMACY IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, BUT DOES IT CONFUSE THE LINES WITH WHAT YOU JUST SAID ABOUT COMMUNISM? REP. GIMINEZ: LOOK, YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT. WE HAD A COMMUNIST SOVIET UNION FOR YEARS AND I DESPISE THE SOVIET UNION AND WHAT IT STOOD FOR, BUT AT THAT TIME THEY WERE THE MOST SECOND POWERFUL NATION SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME KIND OF DIPLOMACY. I UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR DIPLOMACY WITH COMMUNIST CHINA. I DON'T LIKE IT, BUT IT IS A NECESSITY.

THE SAME CAN'T BE SAID FOR CUBA. AS FAR AS DELCY RODRIGUEZ IS CONCERNED, I CALL HER THE INTERIM DICTATOR OF VENEZUELA. HE IS SITTING DOWN WITH HER, BUT I CALL ON THE PRESIDENT TO SET A DATE FOR ELECTIONS AND SENATOR BERNIE MORENO
