What was it like entering this new role in this new building to all of that?
Yeah, I was literally standing right behind him when the escalator came to a halt and he paused for a moment.
But, you know, what did the first lady do?
She just started charging right up the stairs.
Any other world leader literally standing on the global stage, teleprompter goes down.
Heck, we saw that happen with Vice President Harris, and she kind of froze.
What did President Trump do?
150 world leaders out there in the audience.
He just charged ahead.
And I told him afterwards, I think he's better when he speaks from the heart and speaks off the cuff.
And what did he say?
He said, you know what, UN, you have a lot of potential.
You're supposed to be stopping wars, ending wars, preventing wars.
That was the establishment of the UN and its purpose after World War II to prevent any other
future world wars.
And yet here we are 80 years later, and we have more conflicts around the globe than ever.
The UN's budget is bigger than ever.
And he called it like he saw it.
He's absolutely correct that they need to get back to basics.
Stop with all of the other nonsense trying to do everything for everybody all over the world.
