Why did 40 countries just boycott the U.N.? Why does the U.N. receive billions from American taxpayers — and what does the U.S. actually get in return? In this episode of The Brief: Insights From The Inside, Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with Ambassador Jeff Bartos, U.S. Representative for U.N. Management and Reform, following the United Nations General Assembly in New York. They discuss U.N. waste, fraud, abuse, peacekeeping reform, anti-Israel bias, the Durban conference, and why American leadership still matters on the world stage. Bartos explains why the Trump administration is pushing what he describes as historic reform at the United Nations, including budget cuts, staffing reductions, changes to peacekeeping reimbursements, and efforts to refocus the organization on its core mission: international peace and security.

25 years after 9/11, we have a pro-jihadist mayor of New York, a Democratic Party that embraces the foreign policy views of Osama Bin Laden's letters, and a horseshoe Right that does the same. Where did the West go wrong? And how can we fix it?
