But look, this is the world stage right here in New York.

One hundred and ninety three countries have embassies to the U.N.

There's actually more embassies in New York to the United Nations than there are in Washington, D.C., to the United States, because you have countries here like North Korea, like Iran, like Cuba and others.

And again, there should be one place in the world where we could deal with with with all of them.

Well, anyway, I'll just leave it at that.

I wanted to just, as a last thing, talk about one of your most public successes there at the United Nations, which has been putting a spotlight on the tragic situation in Nigeria with a major assist from Nicki Minaj.

I mean, I've seen the videos of you guys walking around New York together.

Can you tell us just a bit more about that relationship and how this all came about and just how helpful she's been in making this the global issue that it should be?

Well, it won't surprise you, Brent.

It actually started with President Trump, who kind of, again, put a spotlight on the persecution of Christians around the world.

But according to most NGOs, 80% of Christians that are killed and persecuted actually happens in Nigeria, sixth largest country in the world by population, largest in Africa.

And he put a spotlight on it.

She replied as a Christian herself and thanked him.

And then I have to give credit where credit's due at the suggestion of our friend Alex Bruzwitz.

He suggests, you know, invite her to the U.N., invite her to the embassy.

Let's talk about what we can do together.

And she responded and came.

We had an amazing panel.

We dialed in a pastor from Nigeria who told his firsthand stories of churches that are being burned.

Clergy that's literally being beheaded.
