President Trump stood before 130 world leaders and delivered the most consequential American foreign policy address since Ronald Reagan called the Soviet Union an evil empire. The message to Iran was direct, simple, and utterly unmistakable: make a deal or face annihilation.

“Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before?” Trump said from the podium. “Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again?”

That is what it looks like when the President of the United States means exactly what he says and has the military power to back every word.

Trump also delivered a powerful line that framed the entire conflict perfectly: “The terrorist regime is behaving badly not because they are strong and confident but because they are weak and desperate.” He called on every nation in the world to join America in isolating Iran economically building a global coalition against Tehran that goes far beyond the bilateral US pressure of the past seven months.

And then Trump dropped the bombshell that tells you the deal is coming and coming soon: “I believe we’ll make a deal right after the election because it doesn’t make sense for them not to. They’re waiting to see how I do in the midterm election.” Iran is watching November 3rd. They know what a Republican Congress means for them. The clock is ticking.

Trump confirmed that US and Iranian officials met for several hours on Tuesday the first direct meeting of its kind since mid-June.

Rubio’s State Dept. Deports 25,000 Migrants

Marco Rubio’s state department has successfully deported 25,000 migrants whose repatriations were blocked by their home countries or by U.S. courts, according to a mournful article in the Washington Post.

The Trump administration has authorized or pledged at least $410 million to facilitate agreements with 31 countries, mostly in Africa and Latin America, as of the end of June, according to internal government records reviewed by The Washington Post. The documents, which have not been previously reported, provide the most comprehensive picture to date of the Trump administration’s fast-growing third-country network.

The Post‘s article is built on leaks from disgruntled bureaucrats who supported the pro-migration, cheap-labor policies set by President Joe Biden and his Wall Street allies. The article says:

One person, who left the office this year, said some of their former colleagues struggled to remain positive about their work and commiserated on encrypted messaging platforms, sharing links to news stories about the plight of third-country deportees with a trigger warning that reading them would “make you feel awful.”

“Everybody feels pretty conflicted,” this former staffer said. “Morale is bad and it’s busy, and people do not want to be doing what they’re doing. It was a very painful thing.”

Rubio and his deputies have struck agreements with up to 31 foreign nations to act as “Safe Third Countries,” so they can be legal destinations for deportable migrants who are rejected by their home countries.

Many home countries, such as Vietnam, Russia, Afghanistan, Ecuador, Iran, Egypt, and China, block the return of their migrants after they serve prison sentences in the United States.

XI JINPING ARRIVES IN WASHINGTON TONIGHT THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL SUMMIT OF THE YEAR

While Trump was delivering his UN address, Chinese President Xi Jinping was boarding a plane to Washington arriving tonight for his first state visit to the United States since 2017.

This summit is unlike any other in recent American history. Trump sits down with Xi as the leader of a nation that has just:

Delivered the most powerful UN speech in a generation

Maintained an ironclad blockade of Iran for seven months

Secured the biggest oil deal in world history with Venezuela

Dominated the global AI race with chip export controls on China

Hit one billion barrels through the Strait of Hormuz

Xi is not coming to Washington from a position of strength he is coming because Trump’s America demands engagement. The AI competition tops the agenda with Trump having rejected every call to slow down American AI development while simultaneously cutting off China’s access to the best American chips. Xi knows he is sitting across from the most consequential American president in decades.

Trump is rolling out the red carpet for Xi not because he has gone soft on China but because he negotiates from strength, not weakness. Expect trade announcements, AI framework discussions, and potentially another Chinese commitment on Iran that further isolates Tehran. This summit could change the trajectory of the US-China relationship for years.

TRUMP MEETS ZELENSKYY UKRAINE PEACE PUSH INTENSIFIES

On the sidelines of UNGA, Trump sat down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a bilateral meeting on Tuesday continuing the administration’s push to restart negotiations to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

Zelenskyy addressed the UN General Assembly today following his meeting with Trump as the White House continues to work both sides of the conflict toward a negotiated settlement. The Graham Act the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act is heading to Trump’s desk to give him additional economic leverage over Moscow.

Trump is managing three major simultaneous foreign policy engagements this week alone Iran at the UN, Xi Jinping in Washington, and Ukraine peace diplomacy all while hitting the campaign trail for Republican candidates with 41 days to go until November 3rd. No previous president in modern history has managed this volume of consequential foreign policy while simultaneously running a domestic political campaign. Trump does it because he never stops.

MEDIA WAR ESCALATES ALL FIVE NETWORKS JOIN BOYCOTT

The mainstream media’s war against Trump just produced one of the most self-defeating moves in the history of American journalism and they walked right into it.

After Trump banned CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House press corps, all five major television networks Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN joined together in a TV boycott of White House events, pulling their primary pool cameras from Trump’s coverage rotation.

Let’s think about what this actually means. The networks that the American public already trusts less than any institution in the country just decided to stop covering the most powerful man in the world because he hurt their feelings. And Trump? He kept right on going. The White House is broadcasting all events live on its own YouTube and social media pages. Trump went to the UN. Trump is meeting Xi. Trump gave the speech of the year. All of it broadcast directly to the American people without a media filter.

This boycott is the greatest gift the media could have given Trump. Every day they stay away from the White House is another day Trump communicates directly with Americans without their distortion. Breitbart is in the briefing room. The White House wire is running. Truth Social is posting. The American people are watching. The legacy media just made itself irrelevant by choice.

MS NOW’s Nicolle Wallace attacked Breitbart after Trump said it was the only fair outlet saying she “didn’t even know it still existed.” The outlet that didn’t know Breitbart existed just found out that Breitbart is the only news organization left in the White House. Embarrassing.

CNN AND POLITICO SUE TRUMP AND THEY WILL LOSE

CNN, MS NOW, and Politico filed a lawsuit against Trump over their White House press access ban and conservatives are not worried in the slightest. Trump has already answered this question. When a Washington Examiner reporter pressed him about how the ban would survive a court challenge when a similar first-term effort against CNN did not, Trump was direct: “I don’t think that a court should allow fake news to be written day after day after day. I think that somebody has a right to keep them away, if they’re going to write false stories all the time.”

Trump also revealed that Politico was “bailed out by our government” under Biden receiving approximately $8 million in what the president called a government subsidy. An outlet that received Biden administration money suing a Trump administration over press access. That is the story inside the story.

The White House is not backing down. Breitbart is in the briefing room. The boycott is their problem not Trump’s. And the lawsuit will work its way through courts that are increasingly populated by Trump-appointed judges who understand the difference between press freedom and press entitlement.

IRAN RESPONDS AT THE UN FROM A POSITION OF TOTAL WEAKNESS

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is addressing the UN General Assembly today one day after Trump threatened to annihilate his country and the contrast between the two speeches tells you everything you need to know about who holds the leverage.

Trump spoke from strength. He spoke from a position of a nation whose Navy controls the Strait of Hormuz, whose blockade has held Iran at zero oil production for months, whose currency war has crashed the rial below two million to the dollar, and whose military has already destroyed Iran’s navy, air force, and nuclear infrastructure.

Pezeshkian is speaking as the leader of a country whose economy is in freefall, whose currency has collapsed, whose military has been devastated, and whose supreme leader is gone. This is what addressing the world from a position of total weakness looks like. Trump said it best at the UN: they are behaving badly not because they are strong and confident but because they are weak and desperate.

The meeting between US and Iranian officials that took place Tuesday the first since mid-June confirms that Iran is talking. They don’t want to talk, but they have to.
