President trump pulling no punches when he addressed the United Nations General Assembly. The president threatened to totally destroy north korea over its Nuclear Weapons program.

A foreign minister called it hate speech, better suit ford Medieval Times than the 21st century. Looking into russias interference. At the last minute the conversation was canceled. The next time Michael Cohen gets an invite to capitol hill, it will be to testify in public. Jeff pegues has the the latest on the investigation. Cbs news learned that the surveillance on Paul Manafort occurred on the president ial campaign. According to a former u. S. Official, the intercepts picked up conversations between manafort and russian individuals about the campaign. The intercepts potentially include conversations between manafort and mr. Trump, the recordings are part of special counsel, Robert Muellers investigation which appears to be intensely focused on manafort. Just last week. Manafort, spokesman, jason ma lenny appeared before a grand jury. In july, agents raided his condominium in virginia, reportedly picking the locks to get in while asleeve. How would you characterize what you see happening with Paul Manafort. Very aggressive. A former federal prosecutor.

A fiery donald trump went before the United Nations for his first address before the General Assembly. The president repeated his campaign slogan, America First and insisted the United States will no longer be taken advantage of. The president blasted the United Nations for its bloated budget and bureaucracy. But he saved his harshest criticism for his two favorite targets. North korea and iran. The scourge of our planet today is a small group of rogue regimes, that violate every principle on which the United Nations is based. They respect neither their own citizens, nor the sovereign rights of their countries. If the righteous many do not confront the wicked few, then evil will triumph. When decent people and nations become bystanders to history, the forces of destruction only gather power and strength. No one has shown more contempt for other nations and for the well being of their own people, than the depraved regime in north korea. It is responsible for the starvation deaths of millions of north koreans. And for the imprisonment, torture, killing and oppression of countless more. We were all witness to the regimes deadly abuse, when an innocent American College student, otto warmber was returned to america, only to die a few days later. We saw it in the assassination of the dictators brother, using banned nerve agents, in an international airport. We know they kidnapped a sweet 13yearold japanese girl from a beach, to enslave her as language tutor for north koreas spies. If this is not twisted enough, now north koreas reckless pursuit of Nuclear Weapons and Ballistic Missiles the threatens the entire world with unthinkable loss of human laf. It is an outrage that some nations would not only trade with such a regime, but would arm supply and financially support a country that imperils the world with nuclear conflict. No nation on earth has an interest in seeing this band of criminals arm itself, with Nuclear Weapons, and missles. The United States has great strength and patience. But if it is force to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. Rocketman is on a Suicide Mission for himself. And for his regime. The United States is ready, willing, able, but hopefully, this will not be necessary. Thats what the United Nations is all about. Thats what the United Nations is for. Lets see ow they do. It is time for north korea, to realize, that the denuclearization is its only acceptable future. The United Nations Security Council recently held two unanimous, 150 votes, adopting hard hitting resolutions, against north korea, and i want to thank china, and russia, for joining the vote to impose sanctions along with all of the other members of the Security Council. Thank you to all of involved. But we must do much more. It is time for all nations to Work Together to isolate the kim regime until it ceases its hostile behavior. We face this decision not only in north korea, it is far pastime for the nations of the world to confront another reckless regime. One that speaks openly of mass murder, vowing death to america, destruction to israel, and ruin for many leaders and nations, in this room. The iranian government, masks a corrupt dictatorship behind the false guise of a democracy. It has turned a wealthy country, with a rich history and culture, into an economically depleted rogue state whose chief exports are violence, bloodshed, and chaos. The longest suffering victims of irans leaders are in fact its own people. Rather than use its resources to improve iranian lives, its oil profits fund hezbollah and other terrorists that innocent muslims attack peaceful arab and israeli neighbors. This wealth, which rightly belongs to irans people, also goes to shore up Bashar Al Assads dictatorship, fuel yemens civil war and undermine peace throughout the entire middle east. We can not let a murderous regime continue these destablizing activities, while building dangerous missiles and, and we cannot abide by an agreement, if it provides cover for the eventual construction of a nuclear program. [ applause ] the iran deal was one of the worst and most onesided transactions the United States has ever entered into. Frankly, that deal is an embarrassment to the United States. And i dont think you have heard the last of it. Believe me. We also thank the secretarygeneral, for recognizing that the United Nations must reform if it is to be an effective partner in confronting threats to sovereignty. Security. And prosperity. Too often the focus of this organization has not been on results. But on bureaucracy and process. In some cases states that seek to subvert this institutions noble ends have hijacked the very systems that are supposed to advance them. For example, it is a massive source of embarrassment to the United Nations that some governments with egregious human rights records sit on the u. N. , human rights council. The United States is one out of 193 countries in the United Nations. And yet, we pay 22 of the entire budget and more. In fact, we pay far more than anybody realizes. The United States bears an unfair cost burden. But, to be fair, if it could actually accomplish all of its stated goals, especially the goal of peace, this investment, would easily be well worth it. Major portions of the world, are in conflict and some in fact, are going to hell. But the powerful people in this room, under the guidance and auspices of the United Nations, can solve many of these vicious and complex problems. The American People hope one day soon, the United Nations can be a much more accountable and effective advocate for Human Dignity and freedom around the world. President trump addressing the United Nations General Assembly. The overnight news will be right back. Mom i dropped my ba. Got it.
