… It’s About Time …

RUSH: Trump’s United Nations speech today, which was unlike any speech at the United Nations we have ever heard an American president give. John Bolton says this is the speech of Trump’s presidency. It is the speech of his political career. It was bold, and it left no doubts. He stood up for America first. And he put the United Nations in its place.

I tell you, the United Nations has not seen anything like this. They looked like the Star Wars bar scene when the camera panned some of these delegates. Bibi Netanyahu I thought was gonna jack-in-the-box out of the seat with a standing ovation when Trump launched into Iran. It was one of the happiest I’ve ever seen an Israeli at the United Nations. Bibi Netanyahu could barely contain himself. Here is the first of the two sound bites to set this all up.

THE PRESIDENT: As president of the United States, I will always put America first, just like you as the leaders of your countries will always and should always put your countries first. (applause) The United States will forever be a great friend to the world, and especially to its allies. But we can no longer be taken advantage of or enter into a one-sided deal where the United States gets nothing in return. As long as I hold this office, I will defend America’s interests above all else.

RUSH: Nobody at the U.N. has ever been spoken to this way by an American president.

RUSH: You don’t go to the United Nations and threaten to destroy another nation on the planet. It isn’t done. … As far as these eggheads at that place think, we are responsible for the problems in the world because we have an unfair amount of the world’s wealth, riches, treasure, and resources, and how do we get it? Why, we went over there and we stole everything we wanted. We have dominated, we have territorialized, and Trump even addressed that. He made the point that we have never conquered, that we have never made any military action for the purpose of seizing territory and holding it, and we have never sought to impose our way of thinking on anybody else because freedom is not an imposition. This stuff is not said. It needs to be said and it needed to have been said years ago, and it needed to be said consistently.

I’m sure I am not alone when I tell you I have long ago gotten fed up with being blamed for everything in this country, blamed for everything in the world as an American. That our wealth, that our prosperity, our superpower status is illegitimate because it’s unfairly acquired, which is a crock. We have earned what we produce. We feed the world. We technologically advance the world. We share medical discoveries and all kinds of other scientific discoveries with the rest of the world. We’re first on the scene of natural disasters all over the world.
