In light of numerous actions taken by a number of bodies of the United Nations, which exhibited deep anti-American bias, we have an executive order prepared for your attention that would withdraw the United States from the UN Human Rights Council, would withdraw the United States from the UNRWA, which is a refugee organization, and would also review American involvement in UNESCO, which has also exhibited anti-American bias. More generally, the executive order calls for a review of American involvement and funding in the UN in light of the wild disparities in levels of funding among different countries that, as you've expressed previously, is deeply unfair to the United States. So I've always felt that the UN has tremendous potential. It's not living up to that potential right now. It really hasn't for a long time. There are great hopes for it, but it's not being well run, to be honest, and not doing the job. A lot of these conflicts that we're working on should be settled, or at least we should have some help in settling them. We never seem to get help. That should be the primary purpose of the UN, the United Nations. And again, it's got great potential, and based on the potential, we'll continue to go along with it, but we've got to get their act together. What would they need to do to sort of get their act together? Well, they've got to be fair to countries that deserve fairness. They have some countries, as you know, that are outliers, that are very bad, and they're being almost preferred as countries to those that do their job and are doing a good job. They're going to end up losing a lot of countries. They're going to end up losing their credibility, like other organizations, and then they're going to be nothing. The potential of the United Nations, and not everybody agrees with me on this, the potential of the United Nations is fantastic if properly run. So we'll see what happens.

We've got a few guests for you, if you want to give them a hand. This is a trick that sits really heavy. This is a trick that no matter what I do, I will do. (Applause) Do I get that, Jim? Do I get that? (Laughter) Hold up. This father was some great player, too. Great guy. Genetics, right? (Laughter) Thank you very much. (Applause)

Having almost 20 million illegal immigrants come into our country has compromised our national security. These are not people here looking for a better life. If they had obeyed the law, stayed in their countries, and did it correctly, children wouldn't be dying. We are the face of why there is becoming change. I would just tell my daughter that I loved her very much. I'm sure she's looking down, smiling, and saying, "Go, Mom." President Trump, thank you. Thank you for listening to my cry. I'm so encouraged about these next four years.
