We should benefit from the solutions offered. But none are coming. You feel great, but you haven't received anything. How can this happen. Listen.
The United Nations in New York City, where everyone comes together to apply the words that matter to them, even though their message is rejected.
Well, we know that a lot of people think the UN does great work amongst great nations who come together to solve all the problems of the world.
But when you walk away, you shake your head and say, "What just happened? Did we get the message?" I think we never get the message.
They all have their own agendas, but we can't solve all the problems of the world.
And yet, for years and decades, we held ourselves up as not only a message of peace and unity for the world, but the United States of America came together to claim that people could live in peace and in freedom.
It's quite convincing if you appreciate the fact that the words matter, but the message is constantly being rejected, and that's what How Can This Happen is about today.
It's about how can you deliver the words that matter and make sure that your message is accepted.
President Donald Trump gave his message to the United Nations yesterday, and soaring rhetoric was not on the menu.
This is what Associated Press says the words meant, and the rejection of the message was quite clear.
Because Donald Trump claimed, according to Associated Press, we have more munitions than we could ever possibly even think of using.
Quote, "Published reports and experts contradict this claim." Now, we don't know what reports, and we don't know who the experts are.
Weapons stockpiles are diminishing according to officials from the US military, NATO, which includes a lot of other countries besides America, but I think they know better than we do what's going on inside of America, and the Middle East.
In August, officials told the Associated Press that the US military is experiencing a beyond critical shortage of advanced missile interceptors in Europe, and this is largely driven by the President of the United States, Donald Trump's war with Iran, raising concerns about vulnerabilities in NATO countries to a potential Russian attack.
Well, I'm just trying to figure out what NATO has to do with our weapons piles, and how they know whether we have any or not.
