You said that you thought that they should shoot down the Russian aircraft. | |
| Would you back them up? | ||
| Would the United States help them out in some way? | ||
| Depends on the circumstance, but we're very strong toward NATO. | ||
| NATO stepped up, you know, when they went from 2% to 5%. | ||
| That was great unity. | ||
| Trillions of dollars is being pumped in, and they're paying us for the weapons that we send. | ||
| But that was a big day. | ||
| Nobody thought a thing like that could happen. | ||
| You had countries that weren't paying 2%, and now they're all paying 5%. | ||
| That's a lot of money. | ||
| It's a lot of weapons they're buying, and they're buying them from us. | ||
| They're buying them from the U.S. You know, in the old days, Biden gave them everything, gave them $350 billion worth of money and weapons. | ||
| It's a lot of money and a lot of weapons, and we got really not much for it. | ||
| We gave the money to Ukraine to fight, and they've proven they're very brave. | ||
| I mean, look, they're fighting, and this is a war going on three and a half years, and people thought it would be over quickly because Russia is a big military power. | ||
| And Ukraine, I tell you, they are good fighters. | ||
| Got a handita. | ||
| They have a lot of courage, a lot of guts. | ||
| Thank you very much, everybody. | ||

Thank you very much. | |
| Thank you, Madam. | ||
| Thank you, Brandon. | ||
| And more now from the UN General Assembly meeting underway in New York City. | ||
| Remarks now from the President of Brazil. | ||
| By this, the Assembly will hear an address by His Excellency Luis Naciolula da Silva, President of the Federative Republic of Brazil. | ||
| I request the protocol to escort His Excellency and invite him to address the Assembly. | ||
| Madam President of the General Assembly, Annalena Berboucki, Mr. Secretary-General Antonio Boutergis, Dear Heads of State and Government. | ||
| and representatives of the member states gathered here. | ||
| This should be a time to celebrate the United Nations. | ||
| Created at the end of the war, the UN symbolizes the highest expression of the aspiration for peace and prosperity. | ||
| Today, however, the ideals that inspired its founders in San Francisco are under threat as never before in their history. | ||
| Multilateralism is at a new crossroads. | ||
| The organization's authority is in check. | ||
| We are witnessing the consolidation of an international order marked by repeated concessions to power play. | ||
| Attacks on sovereignty, arbitrary sanctions, and unilateral interventions are becoming the rule. | ||
| There is a clear parallel between the multilateralism crisis and the weakening of democracy. | ||
| Authoritarianism is strengthened when we fail to act in the face of arbitrary acts. | ||
| When the international society falters in defending peace, sovereignty, and the rule of law, the consequences are tragic throughout the world. | ||
| Anti-democratic forces are trying to subjugate institutions and stifle freedoms. | ||
| They worship violence, praise ignorance, act as physical and digital militias, and restrict the press. | ||
| Even under an unprecedented attack, Brazil chose to resist and defend its democracy, regained 40 years ago by its people after two decades of dictatorial governments. | ||
| There is no justification for unilateral and arbitrary measures against our institutions and our economy. | ||
| The aggression against the independence of the judiciary branch of power is unacceptable. | ||
| This interference in domestic affairs is aided by a subservient far-right who is nostalgic of past hegemonies. | ||
| False patriots plan and publicly promote actions against Brazil. | ||
| Peace cannot be achieved with impunity. | ||
| A few days ago, and for the first time in 525 years of our history, a former head of state was convicted of attacking the democratic rule of law. | ||
| He was investigated, indicted, trialed, and held accountable for his actions in a meticulous process. | ||
| He has the right to defend himself for security, a prerogative that dictatorships deny to their victims. | ||
| Before the eyes of the world, Brazil sent a message to all aspiring autocrats and those who support them. | ||
| Our democracy, our sovereignty, are non-negotiable. | ||
| We will continue as an independent nation and as a people free from any type of guardianship. | ||
| Sound democracies go beyond the electoral ritual. | ||
| Its strength presupposes the reduction of inequalities, the guarantee of the most basic rights, food, safety, work, housing, education, and health. | ||
| Democracy fails when women earn less than men or die at the hands of partners and family members. | ||
| It loses when it closes its stores and blames migrants for the world's ills. | ||
| Poverty is as much an enemy of democracy as extremism. | ||
| Therefore, we were proud to receive confirmation from FAO that Brazil has once again left the hunger map in this year, 2025. | ||
| But in the world, there are still 670 million hungry people and about 2.3 billion face food insecurity. | ||
| The only war of which everyone can emerge if victorious is the one we wage against hunger and poverty. | ||
| This is the goal of the global alliance we launched at the G20 and which has the support of 103 countries. | ||
| The international community needs to revise its priorities, reduce arms spending and increase development aid, relieve the surface of the foreign debt of the poorest countries, above all African nations, and set minimum global tax standards so that the super rich pay more taxes than workers. | ||
| Democracy is also measured by the ability to protect families and the childhood. | ||
| Digital platforms offer possibilities for us to come together in ways we never imagined. | ||
| But they have been used for sowing intolerance, misogyny, xenophobia, and misinformation. | ||
| The internet cannot be a land of lawlessness. | ||
| It's up to governments to protect the most vulnerable. | ||
| Regulating does not mean restraining freedom of expression. | ||
| It's about ensuring that what is already illegal in the real world is treated the way in the virtual environment. | ||
| Attacks on regulation serve to cover up hidden interests and provide shelter for crimes such as fraud, human trafficking, pedophilia, and attacks against democracy. | ||
| The Brazilian parliament was right to rush this to address this issue. | ||
| Last week, I proudly enacted one of the world's most advanced laws for the protection of children and adolescents in the digital environment. | ||
| Also, we sent draft bills to the National Congress to foster competition and digital markets and to encourage the installation of sustainable data centers. | ||
| To mitigate the risks of artificial intelligence, we are committed to building multilateral governance in line with the Global Digital Compact that was approved in this plenary last year. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, Your Excellencies, in Latin America and the Caribbean, we are experiencing a time of growing polarization and instability. | ||
| Maintaining the region as a zone of peace is and was our priority. | ||
| We are a continent free of weapons of mass destruction without ethnic or religious conflicts. | ||
| The comparison between crime and terrorism is worrying. | ||
| The most effective way to combat drug trafficking is to cooperate to suppress money laundering and limit arms trade. | ||
| Using lethal force in situations that do not constitute armed conflict is tantament to executing people without trial. | ||
| Other parts of the planet have already witnessed interventions that cause greater damage than intended with serious humanitarian consequences. | ||
| The path to dialogue must not be closed in Venezuela. | ||
| Haiti has the right to a violence-free future, and it is unacceptable that Cuba be listed as a country that sponsors terrorism. | ||
| In the conflict in Ukraine, In the conflict in Ukraine, we all already know that there will be no military solution. | ||
| The recent meeting in Alaska raised hopes for a negotiated way out. | ||
| It's necessary to pave the way for a realistic solution. | ||
| This implies taking into account the legitimate security concerns of all parties. | ||
| The African Initiative and the Friends for Peace group created by China and Brazil can help promote dialogue and a diplomatic solution. | ||
| No situation is more emblematic of the disproportionate and illegal use of force than the one occurring in Palestine. | ||
| The terrorist attacks perpetrated by Hamas are indefensible from any angle, but nothing, absolutely nothing, justifies the ongoing genocide in Gaza. | ||
| There, under tons of rubble, are buried tens of thousands of innocent women and children. | ||
| There, we can see that international humanitarian law and the myth of ethical exceptionalism of the West are also being buried there. | ||
| This massacre would not have happened without the complicity of those who could have prevented it. | ||
| In Gaza, hunger is used as a weapon of war and the forced displacement of populations goes unpunished. | ||
| I express my admiration to the Jews who inside and outside Israel oppose this collective punishment. | ||
| The Palestinian people are at risk of disappearing. | ||
| They will only survive with an independent state integrated to the international community. | ||
| This is the solution defended by more than 150 UN members, reaffirmed yesterday here in this very plenary, but bared by a single veto. | ||
| It is regrettable that President Mahmoud Abbas was prevented by the host country from occupying the Palestinian bench at this historical moment. | ||
| the spread of this conflict to lebanon syria iran qatar is fueling an unprecedented arms built up Madam President, bombs and nuclear weapons will not protect us from the climate crisis. | ||
| The year of 24 was the warmest already registered. | ||
| COP30 in the city of Belé in Brazil were the Cope of Truth. | ||
| It will be the time for world leaders to prove the seriousness of their commitment to the planet. | ||
| Without a complete picture of the NDC's nationally determined contributions, we were walking blindfolded towards the Abyss. | ||
| Brazil has committed to reducing its emissions by 59 to 67 percent, covering all greenhouses, gases, and all sectors of the economy. | ||
| Developing nations face climate change while grappling with other challenges. | ||
| Meanwhile, rich countries enjoy a standard of living reached at the expense of 200 years of greenhouse gas emissions, demanding greater ambition and greater access to resources and technology. | ||
| It's not a matter of charity, but of justice. | ||
| The race for critical minerals essential for energy transition cannot reproduce the predatory and asymmetrical logic that has characterized recent centuries. | ||
| In Berlin City, the world will learn about the reality of the Amazon. | ||
| Brazil has already reduced deforestation by half in the region in the last two years. | ||
| Eradicating it requires ensuring decent living conditions for its millions of inhabitants. | ||
| Promoting sustainable development is the objective of the Tropical Forest Forever Facility, which Brazil intends to launch to compensate countries that keep their forests standing. | ||
| But the time has come to prove, to move from the negotiation phase to the implementation stage. | ||
| The world owes a lot to the regime created by the Climate Convention. | ||
| Climate change needs to be brought to the heart of the UN so that it gets the attention it deserves. | ||
| A council linked to the General Assembly with the power and legitimacy to monitor commitments provide coherence to climate action. | ||
| This is a fundamental step towards a broader reform of the organization, which would also include an expanded Security Council in the two member categories. | ||
| few areas have worsened as much as the multilateral trading system unilateral measures have rendered fundamental principles such as the most favored nations clauses meaningless | ||
| They have redisrupted value chains and threw the global economy into a pernicious spiral of high prices and stagnation. | ||
| It is urgent to refound the WTO based on modern and flexible foundations. | ||
| Your Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, this year, the world lost two exceptional public figures, former Uruguayan President Pepe Morica and our dear Pope Francis, both embodied the best humanist values like no other. | ||
| Their lives were intertwined with the eight decades of the UN's existence. | ||
| If they were still among us, they would use this platform to remember that authoritarianism, environmental degradation, and inequality are not relentless. | ||
| That the only ones defeated are those who stand idly by, resigned, resignate, and that we can defeat the false prophets and oligarchs who exploit fear and monetize hate. | ||
| And that tomorrow is made of daily choices and it takes courage to act to transform it. | ||
| In the future that Brazil envisions, there is no room for the reenactment of ideological rivalries or spheres of effluence. | ||
| Confrontation is not inevitable. | ||
| We need leaders with clear visions who understand that the international order is not a zero-sum game. | ||
| The 21st century will be increasingly multi-polar. | ||
| For it to remain peaceful, it cannot fail to fall to multilateral. | ||
| Brazil is giving increasing imports to the European Union, the African Union, ASEAN, CIRAC, BRICS, and the G20. | ||
| The voice of the global South must be heard. | ||
| The UN. | ||
| The UN has today almost four times more members than the 51 who were at its foundation. | ||
| Our historic mission is to make it once again a barrier of hope and a promoter of equality, peace, sustainable development, diversity, and tolerance. | ||
| May God bless us all. | ||
| And thank you very much. | ||
| President Trump in New York to attend the UN General Assembly posted this in relation to the war between Russia and Ukraine. | ||
| It reads in part, I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and win all of Ukraine back in its original form. | ||
| Russia has been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years, a war that should have taken a real military power less than a week to win. | ||
| This is not distinguishing Russia. | ||
| In fact, it's very much making them look like a paper tiger. | ||
| Ukraine would be able to take back their country in its original form, and who knows, maybe even go further than that. | ||
| We will continue to supply weapons to NATO for NATO to do what they want with them. | ||
| Good luck to all. | ||
| The Security Council met to discuss the situation in Ukraine as world leaders gathered in New York. | ||
| In 1945, the United Nations was founded in the aftermath of World War II. | ||
| This week, C-SPAN marks the 80th anniversary of the UN. | ||
| We'll dig into the C-SPAN archives for historic speeches from U.S. presidents and world leaders delivered at the annual United Nations General Assembly in New York. | ||
| Tonight, at 8 p.m. Eastern on C-SPAN 2, we'll feature George W. Bush, who laid out the case against Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and weapons of mass destruction in 2002. | ||
| And then a 2006 speech by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, criticizing the United States, calling President George W. Bush the devil. | ||
| And President Barack Obama in 2009 speaking to the body as the first African American to ever hold the office of U.S. President. | ||
| He called for a new chapter of international cooperation amid the war on terror. |
