Mike Waltz Vows to ‘Make the U.N. Great Again’ in Fiery Confirmation Hearing

Joshua Klein 15 Jul 2025

Former Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) delivered a blazing opening statement to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, promising to reform the bloated United Nations bureaucracy and counter China’s growing influence while pledging his confidence under President Trump’s leadership: “We can continue to spread peace and prosperity — and we can Make the U.N. Great Again.”

Testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for his nomination as U.N. Ambassador, the Green Beret veteran laid out a comprehensive vision for overhauling the international body that has “drifted from its core mission of peacemaking” after 80 years of existence.

Waltz didn’t mince words about the UN’s fiscal irresponsibility, noting:

    The UN’s revenue, overall revenue has quadrupled in the last 20 years. Yet, I would argue we have not seen a quadrupling of world peace.” He pointed out the stark inequality in funding, stating that “the US pays more than 183 countries combined. Meanwhile, 28 countries contribute just $37,000 and $5,000 to peacekeeping.

Want to de-bloat the UN?  Stop giving them American taxpayers' dollars.

The diplomats will come to heel to avoid having to return to their $h!th0le countries to work real jobs to maintain the UN lifesystyle they've become accustomed to.

When was it ever great?
Make the U.N. something other than a terrorism-supporting welfare queen suckling at the U.S. teat. That'll do.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I would say the UN has failed at their mission.  So end it already.  Start a new organization, where the funding is equalized, and those that are not paying, or paying small sums have ZERO voting power.  They can express their position, but they have no vote.  And the USA ends subsidizing nations that have no business having a say in anything.

And I also agree the UN was never great.  Not even close!
