00:00So my turn. Well, first of all, thank you for bringing us out here.
00:03I got the chance to drive for the first time in a year and a half, which is to go,
00:07Kurt.
00:07It was fun.
00:10It was great.
00:13And so just a couple points that we all know we've followed in the news, obviously, the events in the
00:19Middle East and others here can talk about that.
00:20Not that they're not important, but there's some other issues happening around the world, Mr. President, that you've shown great
00:25leadership in and have not gotten nearly as much attention.
00:27I think they deserve a mention today.
00:28The first is the International Criminal Court is an illegitimate international organization that, frankly, illegitimate, they've made themselves illegitimate because
00:36they claim that even if you're not a member of that court, they can come after you.
00:39And what that literally means in the future is that American servicemen, political leaders, and others could find themselves under
00:46indictment by this International Criminal Court.
00:49If you want to know a little bit about it, Jack Smith used to work there.
00:52These are the people that think they can go out and basically indict any world leader and haul them into
00:56the Hague.
00:56So we've begun, we've tried to get them to reform and listen to us.
00:59They wouldn't do it.
01:00They're very arrogant.
01:01We've now begun an effort to really try to bring that court to heel.
01:05By the way, there's no information that they're after me.
01:07It could happen.
01:10But just so you know, because she's talking about it, I'm saying that means that he's not trying to defend
01:15me.
01:16He is trying to defend Bibi and various other people.
01:19But there are many people that shouldn't be looked at that way.
01:22But there is no indication that I'm one of them at this moment.
01:28Well, and I actually think the people who are in biggest danger in our system are servicemen, people in uniform.
01:33They'll try to go out for the rest of their lives.
01:35They'll not be able to travel anywhere in the world with their families because they can be arrested on one
01:39of these, like, imagine, you're a soldier.
01:41You fought in a war, and 20 years later, they try to come grab you.
01:43So this is a big problem.
01:44So we've had dozens of countries already join us in this effort.
01:47Since we started two weeks ago, five countries have already quit the ICC and notified them that they're leaving, and
01:52we think there'll be more.
01:53The second thing is we had an unprecedented ministerial.
01:56Sixty countries came to Washington, and were a part of an effort where we were shedding light on far-left
02:01terrorism and violence.
02:03You know, if a bomb goes off somewhere and it's tied to some right-wing group or what I got,
02:07I don't consider neo-Nazis right-wing, I consider them Nazis, right?
02:10But you're going to get a lot of attention on that.
02:12But if it's a leftist group, an Antifa group, they get no coverage or they ignore the ideological spin and
02:18the ideological reason behind it.
02:21So we've got 60 countries came up here and hopefully creating a strong coalition to go after far-left violent
02:26terrorism.
02:27Go after it and call it by name, and I think we're building a very strong coalition there.
