Right, Hour 2, Sean Hannity Show, toll free on numbers 800-941-SHE.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Um this speech is so transformational, so consequential.
It shattered all the status quo, not just in the U.S. and all conventional thinking, all establishment thinking.
Um I think it's the best speech that President Trump gave.
Here's President Trump.
Just taken on all comers and all of the old established way of thinking today at the UN.
Thank you very much for being here.
And Madam President, Mr. Secretary General, First Lady of the United States, distinguished delegates, ambassadors, and world leaders.
Six years have passed since I last stood in this Grand Hall and addressed a world that was prosperous and at peace in my first term.
Since that day, the guns of war have shattered the peace I forged on two continents.
An era of calm and stability gave way to one of the great crises of our time.
And here in the United States, four years of weakness, lawlessness, and radicalism under the last administration, delivered our nation into a repeated set of disasters.
One year ago, our country was in deep trouble, but today, just eight months into my administration, we are the hottest country anywhere in the world, and there is no other country even close.
America is blessed with the strongest economy, the strongest borders, the strongest military, the strongest friendships, and the strongest spirit of any nation on the face of the earth.
This is indeed the golden age of America.
We are rapidly reversing the economic calamity we inherited from the previous administration, including ruinous price increases and record-setting inflation, inflation like we've never had before.
Under my leadership, energy costs are down, gasoline prices are down, grocery prices are down, mortgage rates are down, and inflation has been defeated.
The only thing that's up is the stock market, which just hit a record high.
In fact, it hit a record high 48 times in the last short period of time.
Growth is surging, manufacturing is booming, the stock market, as I said, is doing better than it's ever done, and all of you in this room benefit by that.
Almost everybody.
And importantly, workers' wages are rising at the fastest pace in more than 60 years.
And that's what it's all about, isn't it?
In four years of President Biden, we had less than one trillion dollars of new investment into the United States.
In just eight months since I took office, we have secured commitments and money already paid for 17 trillion dollars.
Think of it, four years less than a trillion, eight months, much more than 17 trillion dollars, is being invested in the United States, and it's now pouring in from all parts of the world.
We've implemented the largest tax cuts in American history and the largest regulation cuts in American history, making this once and again the best country on earth to do business.
And many of the people in this room are investing in America, and it's turned out to be an awfully good investment during this eight-month period.
In my first term, I built the greatest economy in the history of the world.
We had the best economy ever.
History of the world, and I'm doing the same thing again, but this time it's actually much bigger and even better.
The numbers far surpassed my record setting.
First term on our southern border, we have successfully repelled a colossal invasion.
And for the last four months, and that's four months in a row, the number of illegal aliens admitted and entering our country has Been zero.
Hard to believe.
Because if you look back just a year ago, it was millions and millions of people pouring in from all over the world, from prisons, from mental institutions, drug dealers.
All over the world they came.
They just poured into our country with the ridiculous open border policy of the Biden administration.
Our message is very simple.
If you come illegally into the United States, you're going to jail, or you're going back to where you came from, or perhaps even further than that.
You know what that means.
I want to thank the country of El Salvador for the successful and professional job they've done in receiving and jailing so many criminals that entered our country.
And it was under the previous administration that the number became record setting, and they're all being taken out.
We have no choice.
And other countries have no choice because other countries are in the exact same situation with immigration.
It's destroying your country, and you have to do something about it.
On the world stage, America is respected again like it has never been respected before.
You think about two years ago, three years ago, four years ago, or one year ago, we were a laughing stock all over the world.
At the NATO summit in June, virtually all NATO members formerly committed to increased defense spending at my request, from 2% to 5% of GDP, making our alliance far stronger and more powerful than it was ever before.
In May, I traveled to the Middle East to visit my friends and rebuild our partnerships in the Gulf and those valued relationships with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, and other countries are now, I believe, closer than ever before.
My administration has negotiated one historic trade deal after another, including with the United Kingdom, the European Union, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and many, many others.
Likewise, in a period of just seven months, I have ended seven unendable wars.
They said they were unendable.
You're never going to get them solved.
Some were going for 31 years, two of them, 31, think of it, 31 years.
One was 36 years, one was 28 years.
I ended seven wars.
And in all cases, they were raging with countless thousands of people being killed.
This includes Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, the Congo and Rwanda, a vicious violent war that was, Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Armenia and Azerbaijan.
It included all of them.
No president or prime minister, and for that matter, no other country has ever done anything close to that.
And I did it in just seven months.
It's never happened before.
There's never been anything like that.
I'm very honored to have done it.
It's too bad that I had to do these things instead of the United Nations doing them.
And sadly, in all cases, the United Nations did not even try to help in any of them.
I ended seven wars, dealt with the leaders of each and every one of these countries, and never even received a phone call from the United Nations offering to help in finalizing the deal.
All I got from the United Nations was an escalator that on the way up stopped right in the middle.
If the first lady wasn't in great shape, she would have fallen.
But she's in great shape.
We're both in good shape.
We both stood.
And then a teleprompter that didn't work.
This is these are the two things I got from the United Nations: a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter.
Thank you very much.
And by the way, it's working now.
Just one on.
Thank you.
I think I should just do It the other way, it's easier.
Thank you very much.
I didn't think of it at the time because I was too busy working to save millions of lives.
That is the saving and stopping of these wars.
But later I realized that the United Nations wasn't there for us.
They weren't there.
I thought of it really after the fact, not during, not during these negotiations, which were not easy.
That being the case, what is the purpose of the United Nations?
The UN has such tremendous potential.
I've always said it.
It has such tremendous, tremendous potential, but it's not even coming close to living up to that potential.
For the most part, at least for now, all they seem to do is write a really strongly worded letter, and then never follow that letter up.
It's empty words and empty words don't solve war.
The only thing that solves war and wars is action.
Now, after ending all of these wars and also earlier negotiating the Abraham Accords, which is a very big thing for which our country received no credit, never receives credit.
Everyone says that I should get the Nobel Peace Prize for each one of these achievements.
But for me, the real prize will be the sons and daughters who live to grow up with their mothers and fathers because millions of people are no longer being killed in endless and unglorious wars.
What I care about is not winning prizes, it's saving lives.
We saved millions and millions of lives with the seven wars.
And we have others that we're working on, and you know that.
Many years ago, a very successful real estate developer in New York, known as Donald J. Trump.
I bid on the renovation and rebuilding of this very United Nations complex.
I remember it so well.
I said at the time that I would do it for 500 million dollars, rebuilding everything.
It would be beautiful.
I used to talk about I'm going to give you Marlboro floors.
They're going to give you Taraza.
I'm going to give you the best of everything.
You're going to have mahogany walls, they're going to give you plastic.
But they decided to go in another direction, which was much more expensive at the time, and which actually produce a far inferior product.
And I realized that they did not know what they were doing when it came to construction and that their building concepts were so wrong, and the product that they were proposing to build was so bad and so costly.
It was going to cost them a fortune.
And I said, and wait till you see the overruns.
Well, I turned out to be right.
They had massive cost overruns and spent between two and four billion dollars on the building and did not even get the marble floors that I promised them.
You walk into Raza.
Do you notice that?
As far as I'm concerned, frankly, looking at the building and getting stuck in the escalator.
They still haven't finished the job.
They still haven't finished.
That was years ago.
The project was so corrupt that Congress actually asked me to testify before them on the tremendous waste of money because it turned out that they had no idea what it was, but they knew it was anywhere between two and four billion dollars as opposed to 500 million with a guarantee.
But they had no idea, and I said it cost much more than five billion dollars.
Unfortunately, many things in the United Nations are happening just like that, but on an even much bigger scale.
Much, much bigger.
Very sad to see whether the UN can manage to play a productive role.
I've come here today to offer the hand of American leadership and friendship to any nation in this assembly that is willing to join us in forging a safer, more prosperous world.
And it's a world that we'll be much happier with.
A dramatically better future is within our reach.
But to get there, we must reject the failed approaches of the past and work together to confront some of the greatest threats in history.
There is no more serious Danger to our planet today than the most powerful and destructive weapons ever devised by man, of which the United States, as you know, has many.
Just as I did in my first term, I've made containing these threats a top priority, starting with a nation of Iran.
My position is very simple.
The world's number one sponsor of terror can never be allowed to possess the most dangerous weapon.
That's why, shortly after taking office, I sent the so-called Supreme Leader a letter making a generous offer.
I extended a pledge of full cooperation in exchange for a suspension of Iran's nuclear program.
The regime's answer was to continue their constant threats to their neighbors and U.S. interests throughout the region, and some great countries that are right nearby.
Today, many of Iran's former military commanders, in fact, I can say almost all of them are no longer with us.
They're dead.
And three months ago in Operation Midnight Hammer, seven American B-2 bombers dropped the 14 30,000 pound each bombs on Iran's key nuclear facilities, totally obliterating everything.
All right, that's President Trump at the UN.
Really just laying out everybody.
And all failed establishment thinking on every topic imaginable from national security, challenging the world on nuclear weapons, illegal immigration and energy, the economy, you name it.
Called out every country that deserved to be called out.
One of the boldest speeches I think ever given in UN history.
Called out the UN too, on top of it.
Anyway, we'll continue more on the other side.
All right, we continue our coverage.
President Trump from earlier today at the UN.
I've also been working relentlessly stopping the killing in Ukraine.
I thought that would be of the seven wars that I stopped.
I thought that would be the easiest because of my relationship with President Putin, which had always been a good one.
I thought that was going to be the easiest one.
But you know, in war, you never know what's going to happen.
There are always lots of surprises, both good and bad.
Everyone thought Russia would win this war in three days.
But it didn't work out that way.
It was supposed to be just a quick little skirmish.
It's not making Russia look good.
It's making them look bad.
No matter what happens, from here on out.
This was something that should have taken a matter of days, certainly less than a week, and they've been fighting for three and a half years, and killing anywhere from five to seven thousand young soldiers mostly,
mostly soldiers, on both sides every single week, from five to seven thousand dead young people, and some in cities, much smaller numbers, where rockets are shot, where drones are dropped.
This war would never have started if I were president.
This was a war that should have never happened.
It shows you what leadership is, what bad leadership can do to a country.
Look what happened to the United States, and look where we are right now in just a short period of time.
The only question now is how many more lives will be needlessly lost on both sides.
China and India are the primary funders of the ongoing war by continuing to purchase Russian oil.
But inexcusably, even NATO countries have not cut off much Russian energy and Russian energy products.
Which, as you know, I found out about two weeks ago, and I wasn't happy.
Think of it.
They're funding the war against themselves.
Who the hell ever heard of that one?
In the event that Russia is not ready to make a deal to end the war, then the United States is fully prepared to impose a very strong round of powerful tariffs, which would stop the bloodshed, I believe, very quickly.
But for those tariffs to be effective, European nations, all of you are gathered here right now, would have to join us in adopting the exact same measures.
I mean, you're much closer to the city.
We have an ocean in between.
You're right there.
And Europe has to step it up.
They can't be doing what they're doing.
They're buying oil and gas from Russia while they're fighting Russia.
It's embarrassing to them.
And it was very embarrassing to them when I found out about it, I can tell you that.
They have to immediately cease all energy purchases from Russia.
Otherwise, we're all wasting a lot of time.
So I'm ready to discuss this.
We're going to discuss it today with the European nations, all gathered here.
I'm sure they're thrilled to hear me speak about it, but that's the way it is.
I like to speak my mind and speak the truth.
As we seek to reduce the threat of dangerous weapons today, I'm also calling on every nation to join us in ending the development of biological weapons once and for all.
And biological is terrible, and nuclear is even beyond, and we include nuclear in that.
We want to have a cessation of the development of nuclear weapons.
We know, and I know, and I get to view it all the time, Sir, would you like to see?
And I look at weapons that are so powerful that we just can't ever use them.
If we ever use them, the world literally might come to an end.
There would be no United Nations to be talking about.
There would be no nothing.
Just a few years ago, reckless experiments overseas gave us a devastating global pandemic.
Yet, despite that worldwide catastrophe, many countries are continuing extremely risky research into bioweapons and man-made pathogens.
This is unbelievably dangerous to prevent potential disasters.
I'm announcing today that my administration will lead an international effort to enforce biological weapons convention, which is going to be meeting with the top leaders of the world by pioneering an AI verification system that everyone can trust.
Hopefully the UN can play a constructive role, and it will also go be one of the early projects under AI.
Let's see how good it is, because a lot of people are saying it could be one of the great things ever, but it also can be dangerous, but it can be put to tremendous use and tremendous good, and this would be an example of that.
Not only is the UN not solving the problems it should too often, it's actually creating new problems for us to solve.
The best example is the number one political issue of our time, the crisis of uncontrolled migration.
It's uncontrolled.
Your countries are being ruined.
The United Nations is funding an assault on Western countries and their borders.
In 2024, the UN budgeted 372 million dollars in cash assistance to support an estimated 624,000 migrants journeying into the United States.
Think of that.
The UN is supporting people that are illegally coming into the United States, and then we have to get them out.
The UN also provided food, shelter, transportation, and debit cards to illegal aliens.
Can you believe that?
On the way to infiltrate our southern border.
Millions of people came through that southern border.
Just a year ago, millions and millions of people were pouring in, 25 million altogether over the four years of the incompetent Biden administration.
And now we have it stopped, totally stopped.
In fact, they're not even coming anymore because they know they can't get through.
But what took place is totally unacceptable.
The UN is supposed to stop invasions, not create them, and not finance them.
In the United States, we reject the idea that mass numbers of people from foreign lands can be permitted to travel halfway around the world, trample our borders, violate our sovereignty, cause unmitigated crime, and deplete our social safety net.
We have reasserted that America belongs to the American people, and I encourage all countries to take their own stand in defense of their citizens as well.
You have to do that because I see it.
I'm not mentioning names.
I see it and I can call every single one of them out.
You You're destroying your countries.
They're being destroyed.
Europe is in serious trouble.
They've been invaded by a force of illegal aliens like nobody's ever seen before.
Illegal aliens are pouring into Europe.
Nobody is ever, and nobody's doing anything to change it, to get them out.
It's not sustainable.
And because they choose to be politically correct, they're doing just absolutely nothing about it.
And I have to say, I look at London where you have a terrible mayor, terrible, terrible mayor.
And it's been so changed, so changed.
Now they want to go to Sharia law.
But you're in a different country.
You can't do that.
Both the immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of Western Europe if something is not done immediately.
They cannot, this cannot be sustained.
What makes the world so beautiful is that each country is unique.
But to stay this way, every sovereign nation must have the right to control their own borders.
You have the right to control your borders, as we do now, and to limit the sheer numbers of migrants entering their countries and paid for by the people of that nation that were there and that built that particular nation at the time.
They put their blood, sweat, tears, money into that country, and now they're being ruined.
Proud nations must be allowed to protect their communities and prevent their societies from being overwhelmed by people they have never seen before with different customs, religions, with different everything, where migrants have violated laws, large false asylum claims or claimed refugee status for illegitimate reasons.
They should in many cases be immediately sent home.
And while we will always have a big heart for places and people that are struggling and truly compassionate, answers will be given.
We have to solve the problem, and we have to solve it in their countries, not create new problems in our country.
So we are very helpful to a lot of countries that are just not able to send their people anymore.
They used to send them to us in caravans of 25,000, 30,000 people each, these massive caravans of people pouring into our country, totally unchecked and unvetted, but not anymore.
According to the Council of Europe in 2024, almost 50% of inmates in German prisons were foreign nationals or migrants.
In Austria, the number was 53% of the people in prisons were from places that weren't from where they are now.
In Greece, the number was 54%.
And in Switzerland, beautiful Switzerland, 72% of the people in prisons are from outside of Switzerland.
When your prisons are filled with so-called asylum seekers who repay kindness, and that's what they did.
They repaid kindness with crime.
It's time to end the failed experiment of open borders.
You have to end it now.
See, I can tell you.
I'm really good at this stuff.
Your countries are going to hell.
In America, we've taken bold action to swiftly shut down uncontrolled migration.
Once we started detaining and deporting everyone who crossed the border and removing illegal aliens from the United States, they simply stopped coming.
They're not coming anymore.
We're getting a lot of credit, but they're not coming anymore.
This was a humanitarian act for all involved because on the trips up, thousands of people a week were dying.
Women were being raped.
Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
Raped, horribly beaten, raped.
On the trip up, the journey up.
It was a long, it was a long walk.
It was a long, arduous journey, indeed.
And it was also a historic victory against human trafficking throughout the region.
What we did was a victory.
And we saved so many lives of people that wouldn't make the journey.
That journey was loaded up with death.
Loaded up with death.
Dead bodies all along, all along the roads of jungles to get up.
They go through jungles, they go through areas so hot you couldn't breathe.
They were dying of suffocation, areas so hot that you couldn't breathe.
Dead bodies all over.
By them not coming, we're saving tremendous numbers of lives.
My people have done a fantastic job in doing what they did, and the the American public agrees with it.
I mean, I was very proud to see this morning have the highest poll numbers they've ever had.
Part of it is because of what we've done on the border.
I guess the other part is what we've done in the economy.
Joe Biden's policies empowered murderous gangs, human smugglers, child traffickers, drug cartels, and prisoners, prisoners from all over the world.
The previous administration also lost nearly 300,000 children.
Think of that.
They lost more than 300,000 children, little children, who were trafficked into the United States on the Biden watch, many of whom have been raped, exploited, and abused, and sold.
Sold.
Nobody talks about that.
The fake news doesn't write about it.
With many others, young children who are missing or dead.
And we found a lot of these children, and we're sending them back, and we've been sending them back to their parents.
They said, nobody knows who they are.
They said, Where do you come from?
And they'll give us a country and we'll find out and we'll figure it out and we'll bring them back to their homes.
And the mother and father rush to the door and their tears in their eyes.
They can't believe that they're seeing their son or daughter, their little son or daughter again.
We've done almost 30,000 of them so far.
Any system that results in the mass trafficking of children is inherently evil.
Yet that is exactly what the globalist migration agenda has done, and it's what it's all about.
