00:00:00.000 Folks, the United Nations is a horrible institution.
00:00:02.000 It should be immediately disestablished.
00:00:04.000 We should pull all of your taxpayer money.
00:00:06.000 We should not be paying for any part of this.
00:00:08.000 It's just garbage.
00:00:09.000 Every day shows how garbage it is.
00:00:11.000 Well, my personal favorite international leader, Javier Mille, over in Argentina spoke at the UN yesterday.
00:00:17.000 And Javier Mille, just love the guy.
00:00:19.000 Here he was yesterday at the UN.
00:00:22.000 That's to say, it's become a useless organization whose only purpose is to sustain a cast of fatally arrogant parasites masquerading as well intentioned bureaucrats.
00:00:33.000 I would remind them of what Mises said.
00:00:36.000 Good people do not think about controlling the lives of their fellow human beings.
00:00:41.000 Those who were supposed to guarantee collective security and human rights failed in their task.
00:00:46.000 Instead, they allowed chaos, violence, and international terrorism to flourish.
00:00:53.000 This is right.
00:00:55.000 Secretary of State Rubio said something similar.
00:00:57.000 Well, at the UN, he said the international system broke itself because it decided that the opinions of countries that are dictatorial and horrifying. Ought to be weighed with equal respect to democratic nations like the United States.
00:01:10.000 Multiple leaders pointed to the fact that the international system is failing.
00:01:14.000 And it's failing because it has grown beyond its mandate.
00:01:17.000 It has grown beyond its intent.
00:01:19.000 It's involved in all kinds of things it shouldn't be involved in, and it's unable to solve virtually any major conflict in the world.
00:01:25.000 So I think there's unanimity and consensus here in this gathering and broadly that the international system is broken, but it's broken because it broke itself.
00:01:34.000 It needs to be brought back to its proper focus and its proper role.
00:01:39.000 Actually, we should stop referring to the international community at all because there is no community.
00:01:43.000 There is no commonality between these nations.
00:01:47.000 The trash that is the UN needs to be taken out.
00:01:51.000 I'll say it once again the United States should pull out of the UN, defund the ridiculous institution that it is, eminent domain the building, tear it to the ground, and salt the earth.
00:02:00.000 Yesterday, Iran was awarded a seat at the Vienna based International Atomic Energy Agency's General Committee.
00:02:07.000 44 countries supported Iran.
00:02:09.000 Joining the IAEA with 35 opposed and 42 abstaining.
00:02:15.000 This is literally after Iran was referred to the UN Security Council over its non compliance with the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty, including denial to IAEA inspectors access to Iranian sites.
00:02:28.000 So that means that only 35 countries out of well over 100 said Iran should not be on the General Committee for the International Atomic Energy Agency.
00:02:38.000 That is what the UN and the international community are.
00:02:41.000 So, the UN hosted Massoud Pzeszkian.
00:02:45.000 Here's my general view of this the United States should not host dictators of evil nations that murder 50,000 of their own citizens in the streets because they oppose our oppressive Islamist dictatorship.
00:02:56.000 It's unbelievable, by the way, that the only person who Zar Mamdani is talking about arresting is the leader of our Democratic ally flying in the skies over Tehran with us, Benjamin Netanyahu from Israel.
00:03:07.000 Meanwhile, the president of a mass murdering dictatorship walks willy nilly through the streets in New York.
00:03:14.000 And not only that, Zarman Zani literally tried to have his own staff go to a meeting with the Iranian leadership just a few months back.
00:03:23.000 I mean, this is just insane.
00:03:26.000 So here's Pzeszkian in New York, and we don't need more of these in our country.
00:03:31.000 Here's Pzeszkian saying that Iran's resistance will only grow.
00:03:35.000 He must know that the resistance of the Iranian people will only increase in the face of sanctions, increased pressure, increased bullying.
00:03:45.000 We will never bow our head or bend at the knee.
00:03:51.000 Iran must be understood by Mr. Trump and those who seek to bully us that we are ready for dialogue and diplomacy and negotiations without accepting the language of force.
00:04:05.000 So, just going to point out that accepting the language of force, Iran has fostered terrorism all over the region, including against Saudi Arabia.
00:04:12.000 Forget Israel.
00:04:12.000 Against Saudi Arabia, against the government of Iraq, against Kuwait, against Qatar, against UAE, against Bahrain, against Jordan.
00:04:22.000 It is his government.
00:04:23.000 And when he says the Iranian people will resist, it's not the Iranian people tried to resist and you murdered them by the bushel in the streets of Iran.
00:04:31.000 And then he comes to the UN and claims that he's a victim of American terrorism.
00:04:34.000 He holds a picture saying he's a victim of American terrorism.
00:04:38.000 Madude, your nation, your government is responsible for more international terrorism than literally any government on the face of planet Earth right now.
00:04:48.000 This is a point that Marco Rubio was making yesterday.
00:04:51.000 Here was Secretary of State Rubio.
00:04:53.000 Yeah, I think slaughtering 10,000 of your own people in protests is a violation of the UN.
00:04:59.000 I hope it's a violation of the UN principles.
00:05:02.000 I think sponsoring terrorist organizations in the region to attack your neighbors, attack energy infrastructure, attack civilian sites is a violation of the UN system.
00:05:11.000 So I don't know what standing Iran has to lecture anyone on human rights or the international system when they habitually violate it.
00:05:18.000 They violate the sovereignty of every one of their neighbors by sponsoring terrorist organizations that reside within the borders of those countries.
00:05:23.000 They slaughter their own people.
00:05:25.000 They violate rules that were sanctioned, that were imposed by the international community against their nuclear weapons program.
00:05:33.000 So I just, honestly, I don't know how you stand up there and argue on behalf of the international system when you are the world's leading violator of the international system.
00:05:42.000 That's what the Iranian system has been, unfortunately, sadly, tragically.
00:05:45.000 Okay, let's be real about this.
00:05:47.000 The reality is that every time you go to get a new cell phone coverage plan, you're sold a bunch of jargon and you don't know what the hell they're talking about.

00:06:43.000 Don't worry, it's not just Iran that uses the UN as its platform to spread junk.
00:06:49.000 Turkish dictator Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who for some odd reason that no one can quite discern, has a warm relationship with President Trump.
00:06:56.000 It's totally ununderstandable.
00:06:57.000 Our ambassador Tom Barak to Turkey is a disaster area.
00:07:00.000 Erdogan has openly talked about the reestablishment of a Quasi Ottoman Empire.
00:07:06.000 It is he who has been sponsoring the Syrian regime.
00:07:09.000 It is he who has been spreading Turkish tentacles down into the Gaza Strip by supporting Hamas.
00:07:15.000 Erdogan is his own super spreader of terror support.
00:07:19.000 Well, here he was at the UN suggesting that the international community acknowledge and honor the Turkish occupation of Cyprus.
00:07:27.000 Again, Cyprus in 1974 transitioned, there was a coup, transitioned to a regime that wanted to unite with Greece.
00:07:34.000 So Turkey sent 40,000 troops and occupied Northern Cyprus and has been occupying Northern Cyprus.
00:07:38.000 For some 52 years.
00:07:40.000 And here is Erdogan talking about how the international community should recognize the occupation.
00:07:46.000 Isn't it interesting how the Turkish occupation of Cyprus has earned zero international headlines?
00:07:51.000 Zero at all?
00:07:53.000 And that was not a quote unquote occupation that happened in the wake of a defensive war.
00:07:57.000 That was a full scale Turkish invasion of another country.
00:08:02.000 And no one talks about that.
00:08:03.000 It's kind of strange how no one ever talks about that.
00:08:05.000 But here he was talking about it at the UN.
00:08:07.000 No problem.
00:08:08.000 The sovereign equality and equal international status of the Turkish Cypriot people must be recognized.
00:08:17.000 And the inhumane isolation to which they have been subjected.
00:08:21.000 Must finally come to an end.
00:08:24.000 I call upon the international community to recognize the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and to establish political, diplomatic, and economic relations with them.
00:08:37.000 And then the flash to all the people in Turkey clapping so that they don't get shot.
00:08:40.000 Meanwhile, Emmanuel Macron, the ridiculous leader of France, he got up at the UN and suggested he spent his entire speech ripping on Israel and decided that he was going to rip on Israel for taking security measures against Hamas in the West Bank.
00:08:54.000 Because it turns out that there are a lot of Hamas in the West Bank.
00:08:56.000 But according to Emmanuel Macron, they don't exist.
00:08:58.000 They're figments of the imagination.
00:09:00.000 There is no Hamas in the West Bank, says Emmanuel Macron.
00:09:03.000 Look, just look at what's happening in the West Bank.
00:09:07.000 Where day in, day out, we are seeing violations.
00:09:12.000 And in the name of what?
00:09:16.000 Hamas was never very active in the West Bank.
00:09:21.000 What we need is respect for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, their legitimate right to exist.
00:09:27.000 This is.
00:09:28.000 A prerequisite for security today and tomorrow for the people of Israel.
00:09:35.000 Their security, their very existence to which we're very committed.
00:09:40.000 They should stop.
00:09:40.000 Israel should stop doing policing action in the West Bank because there is no Hamas and no terrorists in the West Bank.
00:09:44.000 Well, that's weird because literally over the past four days, there have been two separate terrorist attacks in the so called West Bank.
00:09:52.000 I say so called because, again, for those who don't know their history, this is called Judea and Samaria.
00:09:55.000 It is the biblical heartland that is described in the actual Bible.
00:09:59.000 That is what these places are.
00:10:01.000 All those places are not next to Tel Aviv.
00:10:03.000 All those places are in the so called West Bank.
00:10:05.000 The only reason it's described as the West Bank is because it is the West Bank of the Jordan River.
00:10:09.000 They started calling it the West Bank when it was under Jordanian occupation.
00:10:14.000 In any case, yesterday, an IDF reservist was rammed by a terrorist at the Maccabim checkpoint on Route 443 near Modine.
00:10:25.000 The person who is seriously wounded in critical condition, undergoing surgery at a hospital in Israel, is Naria Leiter.
00:10:32.000 Nouriel Leiter happens to be the son of the Israeli ambassador to the United States.
00:10:38.000 In 2023, one of Yichiel Leiter's other sons, Reserve Major Moshe Yadidya, was killed in Gaza.
00:10:47.000 So again, the Israelis are constantly having to send their own children out to police areas that should be safe, and they are unsafe because these areas are filled with terrorists.
00:10:55.000 And this is not the only terrorist attack.
00:10:57.000 Over the course of even the last week, there was a father of.
00:11:00.000 While Macron was saying this, he was saying this.
00:11:03.000 Literally, days after the murder of a French citizen, a French Israeli dual citizen named Natan al Shukron was murdered for going to the Nevet Suf Spring in the so called West Bank.
00:11:14.000 He was murdered by a terrorist who openly affiliated with Hamas in a drive by shooting.
00:11:20.000 But don't worry, Hamas doesn't exist in the West Bank, according to the Moronic French.
00:11:25.000 Again, it just demonstrates what the UN is it is an agitprop organization on behalf of people who are willing to kowtow to radical Islam.
00:11:32.000 And even when they talk about how they don't like radical Islam, they then proceed to turn over.
00:11:37.000 In favor of the radical Islamic regimes, they'll all go to the UN and they'll complain and whine about Iran.
00:11:42.000 And then the minute Iran shows up, they'll start bowing and scraping in front of them.
00:11:44.000 It's pathetic.
00:11:46.000 It's civilizational suicide.
00:11:48.000 But again, you'd expect nothing less from the French and all the rest of the leftist Europeans showing up at the UN.
00:11:55.000 Amazing to watch a civilization commit suicide in real time for fear of labeling the enemies of their own civilization.
00:12:01.000 Pretty impressive, impressive stuff.
00:12:02.000 What an amazing video you just watched.
00:12:04.000 Wasn't that amazing?
