Joe ConchaGUEST
But this person to talk about padded walls probably should be joining my editor there as well.
Dom GiordanoHOST
Joe, your thoughts now as we have the big five saying they're not going to cover the president on camera today, UN Day, meeting Mondani, et cetera, because of, shall we say, limiting MSNL, Politico and CNN.
Joe ConchaGUEST
I, I understand why, say, Fox, for example, would join other networks and saying, OK, we're not going to cover it.
Joe ConchaGUEST
We're in solidarity.

The idea that they are just squeaky clean, and I love the fact that the Institute of Public Administration Australia, which is like the business body for public servants, celebrated the UN Day, right? Because this is why we need to get out of so much of what the UN does.
Mike NewmanGUEST
Because it is all self-serving.
Mike NewmanGUEST
It is the ultimate bureaucracy of which they aspire to.
Stephen ZunesGUEST
And people who knew me as a child, I come back for my high school reunion, for example, and no one's surprised that I became a political science professor, especially one dealing with international affairs.
Stephen ZunesGUEST
I mean, I remember on United Nations Day going around with this little styrofoam thing with all the flags of the United Nations.
Stephen ZunesGUEST
UN countries and giving lectures and various show and tells, you know, even as a second grader, I was doing it to the sixth grade, you know, so I was pretty precocious in this regard, you know, so again, not many people are surprised that I ended up where I did.
