The Nicki Minaj and Donald Trump friendship that nobody saw coming got another boost on Monday night, when the president dropped a video on TikTok featuring her song that was immediately called &#8220;pretty incredible&#8221; by the rapper.
Trump and First Lady Melania bring back their iconic dance to Nicki Minaj’s 2012 hit “Beez in the Trap,” a song that’s once again blowing up on social media.
Under the TikTok video, a mashup of Minaj and &#8220;What&#8217;s up&#8221; by 4 Blondes, is Minaj herself, commenting: &#8220;This is pretty incredible. Thank you.&#8221;

Users quickly noticed the Minaj praise, and called it &#8220;the Nicki and Trump collab we didn&#8217;t know we needed.&#8221;
&#8220;Nicki Minaj and President Trump teaming up was not on my 2025 bingo card,&#8221; another said.
The White House posted the video with Minaj&#8217;s music days after she praised Trump for condemning the killing of Christians in Nigeria. On Saturday, Minaj <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-deep-sense-of-gratitude-nicki-minaj-praises-trump-for-action-on-persecuted-christians">said</a> she had a &#8220;deep sense of gratitude&#8221; seeing Trump pledge to stand up for the persecuted.

&#8220;Reading this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude,&#8221; Minaj said. &#8220;We live in a country where we can freely worship God. Thank you to the President and his team for taking this seriously. God bless every persecuted Christian. Let&#8217;s remember to lift them up in prayer.&#8221;
The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, praised Minaj for using her platform to stand up for the Christians in Nigeria, inviting her to visit with him at the embassy in New York.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Trump&#8217;s initial comment that won praise from Minaj said that Christianity was &#8220;facing an existential threat in Nigeria.”
“Thousands of Christians are being killed,” he wrote. “Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter.”
“When Christians, or any such group, is slaughtered like is happening in Nigeria (3,100 versus 4,476 Worldwide), something must be done!” the president continued. “The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria, and numerous other Countries. We stand ready, willing, and able to save our Great Christian population around the World!”
Trump has threatened to take military action in Nigeria and pull all U.S. aid from the country.
&#8220;They&#8217;re killing record numbers of Christians in Nigeria&#8230; and killing them in very large numbers,&#8221; Trump said on Air Force One Sunday. &#8220;We aren&#8217;t going to allow that to happen.&#8221;

A global tax on shipping emissions won’t take effect after pressure from the Trump administration to abandon the climate activist-fueled proposal.  
The International Maritime Organization had been set to vote on Friday on adopting a global carbon tax aimed at pushing the shipping industry to stop using fossil fuels. But that vote did not happen after President Donald Trump on Thursday <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115385308751129485">called</a> for other countries to oppose the tax, saying that the United States would not “tolerate” or “adhere” to the measure. 
Instead, the International Maritime Organization, an agency of the United Nations that regulates shipping, moved Friday to postpone the vote on the tax for a year. 
“Now you have one year, you will continue to work on several aspects of these amendments,” <a href="https://apnews.com/article/shipping-climate-change-carbon-fee-a5f854e7028d08035689db50814a6519">said</a> Arsenio Dominguez, the secretary general of the International Maritime Organization. “You have one year to negotiate and talk and come to consensus.”
The decision was praised by Trump administration officials who spent the week fighting the proposal. 
“This is another HUGE win for [Trump],” Secretary of State Marco Rubio <a href="https://x.com/SecRubio/status/1979209616425644482">said</a>. “Thanks to his leadership, the United States prevented a massive UN tax hike on American consumers that would have funded progressive climate pet projects. Our country will continue to lead the way and put America FIRST.”
UN Ambassador Mike Waltz <a href="https://x.com/michaelgwaltz/status/1979196333886935533">praised</a> Rubio’s efforts to fight the tax. 
“Huge push by [Rubio] and the State Dept team. Strong diplomacy that put American business and consumers first WON THE DAY over an ideological carbon tax from the UN and EU,” said Waltz.

Last week, the Trump administration <a href="https://www.state.gov/releases/office-of-the-spokesperson/2025/10/taking-action-to-defend-america-from-the-uns-first-global-carbon-tax-the-international-maritime-organizations-imo-net-zero-framework-nzf">warned</a> that the tax could increase shipping costs by up to 10% and said that it was considering a number of retaliatory actions for countries that support the measure. These actions included investigating countries pursuing anti-competitive practices, imposing visa restrictions and increasing processing fees, and placing additional port fees and commercial penalties. 
“The United States will be moving to levy these remedies against nations that sponsor this European-led neocolonial export of global climate regulations,” a statement from the Trump administration said. “We will fight hard to protect our economic interests by imposing costs on countries if they support the [Net Zero Framework].”

Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz made it absolutely clear on Thursday that the United States would not support the global carbon tax being pushed by the International Maritime Organization — and President Donald Trump voiced his agreement on the subject.
Waltz addressed the issue with &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends&#8221; host Brian Kilmeade, and he said that the United States was also encouraging other nations to vote &#8220;no&#8221; on the new tax — and that there could be consequences for those that chose to vote in favor of the measure.

&#8220;This is a bigger deal than I think anybody realizes,&#8221; Waltz, a former Florida congressman and Green Beret veteran, told Kilmeade. He went on to say that others within the Trump administration — from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to Secretary of State Marco Rubio — were all in agreement that the new tax had to go.
&#8220;They have been loud and clear on this, the United States is a hard no,&#8221; he declared. &#8220;This would essentially put a global tax on everything that is involved in trade and then everything that goes on a ship &#8230; this is trying to drive carbon emissions from shipping to zero.&#8221;

Waltz went on to note that the move would also subsidize certain biofuels — and would greatly benefit China because in order to retrofit ships to use the new fuels, businesses would have to work with Chinese shipyards.
Trump also weighed in on the issue with a post to his Truth Social platform, saying, &#8220;I am outraged that the International Maritime Organization is voting in London this week to pass a global Carbon Tax. The United States will NOT stand for this Global Green New Scam Tax on Shipping, and will not adhere to it in any way, shape, or form. We will not tolerate increased prices on American Consumers OR, the creation of a Green New Scam Bureaucracy to spend YOUR money on their Green dreams. Stand with the United States, and vote NO in London tomorrow!&#8221;

Topline: Trump is scheduled to make a highly anticipated address to the United Nations on Tuesday.
What we’re tracking: Whether Trump will commit to more UN funding.
After taking office, Trump withdrew the United States from UN agencies like the Human Rights Council and World Health Organization, rescinded about a billion dollars in funding that Congress had already appropriated, and ordered a review of any future funds going to the UN, saying he wanted to ensure its mission “aligned with our national interests.”
As a result, the UN is facing a severe budget crunch — to save money, it has initiated plans to relocate its offices from New York and Geneva to lower-cost alternatives, such as Nairobi. It is also planning to cut thousands of jobs and consolidate several smaller agencies. 
Trump’s speech will reportedly touch on “his vision of how the United States is approaching the world” — the assembly is hoping that approach includes funding commitments for the UN.
The Waltz: Mike Waltz, a former Green Beret and Florida congressman, was confirmed by the Senate on Friday to serve as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and hit the ground running.
The Push for “Palestine”: Trump’s speech will coincide with a separate conference on Palestinian statehood that’s being led by France and Saudi Arabia.
Canada, Britain, and Australia each offered recognition of a Palestinian state for the first time this weekend. They joined about 150 of 193 UN member states that have done so.
But while Trump has seemingly grown more frustrated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying he needs to “wrap up” the war in Gaza, he’s still expected to offer his support of Israel today. The State Department issued a statement calling the push for Palestinian Statehood a “publicity stunt” and “reward for terrorism”. 
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas will make the case for statehood to the UN General Assembly on Thursday. He’ll have to do it remotely after the Trump administration canceled his visa. 
Taking back Bagram: Last week, President Trump announced his intention to reclaim Bagram Air Base, which was abandoned and taken over by the Taliban following the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan under former President Joe Biden. 
When Trump was asked if he was willing to deploy American troops to retake the base, he refrained from giving a clear answer.
“We&#8217;re talking now to Afghanistan, and we want it back and we want it back soon, right away. And if they don&#8217;t do it &#8211; if they don&#8217;t do it, you&#8217;re going to find out what I&#8217;m gonna do,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1969552386076090849">said</a>.
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Autism Report</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-975715" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Tylenol-Autism-Link-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Tylenol-Autism-Link-300x169.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Tylenol-Autism-Link-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Tylenol-Autism-Link-768x432.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Tylenol-Autism-Link-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Tylenol-Autism-Link.jpg 1920w" sizes=" (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />
Topline: President Trump and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced significant findings on research concerning a spike in national autism rates. 
For weeks, there had been speculation about this, but Trump and Kennedy both linked one medication to a possible cause of autism and another to a possible treatment.
The cause: They said that the use of acetaminophen during pregnancy is tied to an increased risk of autism. Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in Tylenol and is one of the most widely used medications globally for pain relief and fever reduction. 
FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary: “We have an epidemic of autism that has increased 400% in the recent decades and we don&#8217;t have a known cause. Now this may be a cause, but when you have enough evidence to suggest an association and you have no other plausible cause, we have a duty to notify parents and doctors.”
The cure: The other major part of this announcement was that a drug called leucovorin, also known as folinic acid, can potentially help treat autism symptoms.
Makary: “We recognized that some kids with autism actually have an autoimmune disease. … And some doctors have actually started to test for this folate antibody, and they will then move on to treat some kids with this folinic acid or vitamin B12 that bypasses the receptor.”
Pharma’s view: Kirk Perry, the CEO of Kenvue, which makes Tylenol, reportedly had a “hastily scheduled meeting” with Secretary Kennedy last week over reports about this announcement. Perry argued in the private meeting that there is no causal link between Tylenol use during pregnancy and autism. He told Kennedy that Tylenol is a safe option for pregnant women, especially if they spike a fever, and added that other options actually do have links to birth defects. 
Since early September, the Kenvue stock has <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/us/trump-admin-report-linking-tylenol-to-autism-sends-kenvue-stock-sliding/articleshow/124049521.cms?utm_source=chatgpt.com&amp;from=mdr">dropped</a> around 15%. 
<h2 style="text-align: center;">H-1B Visa Debate</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-975717" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/H-1B-Price-Tag-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/H-1B-Price-Tag-300x169.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/H-1B-Price-Tag-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/H-1B-Price-Tag-768x432.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/H-1B-Price-Tag-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/H-1B-Price-Tag.jpg 1920w" sizes=" (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />
Topline: President Trump signed an executive order that the White House says will curb abuse of the H-1B system that’s freezing Americans out of good jobs. The order has sparked confusion, leaving many wondering how it works and who it affects.
H-1B visas allow companies to hire foreign workers for specialized jobs when companies can’t find a skilled American to fill the position. Critics of the program argue that it has been abused to undercut American wages.
According to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, the order imposes a one-time $100,000 fee per employee on any company seeking a new H-1B visa. Leavitt said in an X post: “This is NOT an annual fee.” And it does not apply to any current H-1B holders who are outside the country or whose visas are currently up for renewal.
Divisive? Hardly: Some of the president’s supporters want the H-1B program massively reduced if not canceled entirely. But even among the president’s supporters in the tech sector, they’ll say that the system could use reform.
Back in December, Elon Musk, a strong supporter of the H-1B program, posted on <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1873191959441084531" target="_blank" rel="noopener">X</a> that it is “broken and needs major reform.” He said many complaints about abuse could be addressed by “raising the minimum salary significantly and adding a yearly cost for maintaining the H1B, making it materially more expensive to hire from overseas than domestically.”
Project Firewall: The Department of Labor <a href="https://x.com/USDOL/status/1969161021232148795">rolled out</a> Project Firewall on Friday.
“For too long, Washington politicians have stayed silent as employers abused H-1B visas under President Trump. This is coming to an end today. The Department of Labor is proud to launch Project Firewall,” the department said in a promo video released on X.
Project Firewall is intended to crack down on abuse in the H-1B program. <a href="https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/osec/osec20250919">According to</a> the department, it “will conduct investigations of employers through Project Firewall to maximize H-1B program compliance.” Violations could result in back wages for workers, civil fines, or even disbarment from the H-1B program for a specified period. The goal here is to “safeguard the rights, wages, and job opportunities of highly skilled American workers by ensuring employers prioritize qualified Americans when hiring.”

The Senate confirmed Mike <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-heads-to-the-un-next-week-will-he-have-his-un-ambassador">Waltz</a> as United Nations ambassador Friday, just in time for President Donald Trump’s speech to the global body next week.
The former Republican congressman was confirmed in a 47-43 vote for the most prominent unfilled cabinet post in the Trump administration. His confirmation marks the end of a months-long holdup in the Trump administration campaign to secure a permanent UN ambassador.
“THANK YOU President Trump &amp; the U.S. Senate your trust and confidence to Make the UN Great Again <a class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1loqt21" dir="ltr" role="link" href="https://x.com/hashtag/MUNGA?src=hashtag_click">#MUNGA</a>,” Waltz wrote on X Friday.

Democrats delayed the nomination and were successful in getting Waltz and others’ nominations returned to committee. Waltz’s nomination passed out of committee — for the second time — on Wednesday morning.
Despite receiving a “no” vote from Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, Waltz’s nomination was approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Paul maintained his position during Friday’s vote as the sole Republican to oppose Waltz’s confirmation, while Democratic Sens. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Mark Kelly of Arizona, and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire were the only members of their party to vote “yes.”

Trump originally nominated Republican New York Rep. Elise Stefanik for the role before she quickly returned to her post in Congress to ensure the commander-in-chief maintained a solid Republican majority in the House.
In the interim, <a href="https://usun.usmission.gov/ambassador-dorothy-camille-shea/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dorothy Shea</a>, who was nominated by President Joe Biden and confirmed last summer, served as the acting ambassador.
Waltz was nominated in May after briefly serving as Trump’s national security advisor. Four months ago, Trump tapped him for the UN job.
The UN ambassador was previously the target of Democrats and critics in the media after The Atlantic’s Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/flurry-of-reports-claim-mike-waltz-out-as-national-security-adviser">revealed</a> that he’d been included in a Signal chat group with top administration officials — and had been privy to conversations about imminent strikes on Houthi terrorists.
Waltz admitted that Goldberg had been inadvertently added to the chat from his phone, while a full investigation revealed that Goldberg’s number had likely been added as a result of the iPhone’s “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/so-damn-dangerous-signal-chat-breach-linked-to-automated-suggestion-feature-on-iphone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">automated suggestion</a>” algorithm rather than any intentional move by Waltz or his staff. Administration officials who were in the group chat have maintained that they never discussed any classified information in their messages.
Trump’s speech at the UN General Assembly in New York next week comes amid peace deal negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, as well as efforts to end the Israel-Hamas war.

2024 Republican National Convention: Day 1

Senate Confirms Mike Waltz Just In Time For Trump To Crash United Nations

The Republican-led Senate confirmed 48 of President Donald Trump&#8217;s remaining nominees for below-cabinet-level federal positions, moving ahead with what&#8217;s called an &#8220;en bloc&#8221; nominee package after Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) invoked the nuclear option.
The bloc of 48 nominees confirmed on Thursday included a number of lower level War Department positions — and several ambassadorships including those held by Kimberly Guilfoyle and Callista Gingrich — and passed 51-47 along party lines.

Thune promised to move forward with the nuclear option a week earlier, saying that Democrats had stonewalled the process long enough.
Quoting Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-republicans-implement-plan-to-push-through-federal-nominees-as-shutdown-looms">Thune</a> said that it was unacceptable for nominees to be blocked unless there was a legitimate reason or concern that made it necessary.
Thune also pointed out the fact that all of the 48 nominees in the first bloc had actually been approved out of committee — with bipartisan support — and were only being blocked in the full Senate.
The Senate Democrats, he said at the time, were intentionally stalling the process by refusing to allow the nominees to be confirmed by voice vote or unanimous consent, as is traditionally done with civilian nominees.
One major nominee who did not make it through on Thursday was former Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL), whose nomination to serve as Ambassador to the United Nations is still pending. Democrats succeeded in recent weeks in having Waltz’s nomination sent back to committee.

48 Trump Nominees Confirmed In One Vote After Senate Goes To Nuclear Option

President Donald Trump is heading to the United Nations next week for a monumental foreign policy speech to world leaders, and unless the Republican-led U.S. Senate goes into hyperdrive, he&#8217;ll do it with a Biden administration official as his UN ambassador.
Trump nominated former congressman Mike Waltz to represent the United States at the United Nations nearly four months ago, and his nomination passed out of committee — for the second time — on Wednesday morning, leaving only a full Senate vote between Waltz and confirmation. But with a packed legislative schedule and a wall of obstruction from Senate Democrats, many doubt the vote will take place in time to have him ready to go.
If Waltz isn&#8217;t confirmed, Trump&#8217;s speech will be carried out with <a href="https://usun.usmission.gov/ambassador-dorothy-camille-shea/">Dorothy Shea</a>, who was nominated by President Joe Biden and confirmed last summer, as the acting ambassador. Jason Miller, one of Trump&#8217;s closest advisors outside of the White House, says that should be unacceptable, and Republicans should make his confirmation a top priority.
&#8220;Schumer and the Democrats have intentionally obstructed Senate action on the president’s nominees, the majority leader has the power to keep the Senate in session to assure that Mike Waltz and the president’s team are seated at the United Nations ahead of next week’s meeting of the General Assembly — and he should do so,” Miller told The Daily Wire.
Asked about the Waltz nomination, the White House reiterated the urgency to have his team in place.
“President Trump has been clear that he wants all of his nominees confirmed as quickly as possible,” a White House official told The Daily Wire.
Republican Majority Leader John Thune&#8217;s office wouldn&#8217;t comment specifically on efforts to confirm Waltz by Monday, but said it shares Trump&#8217;s urgency.
“Not only do we share the White House’s goal of confirming the president’s team as quickly as possible, we’ve demonstrated it — confirming the Cabinet at the fastest pace in 20 years and recently breaking the Democrats’ historic nominations blockade, which will allow us to begin clearing the mounting backlog,” a spokeswoman for Thune said.
Thune has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-republicans-implement-plan-to-push-through-federal-nominees-as-shutdown-looms">implemented plans</a> to break the Democrat blockade. His procedural change allows for an unlimited number of federal nominations to be approved “en bloc” — simultaneously — so long as they were not judicial or cabinet-level positions.

But this doesn&#8217;t apply to the United Nations post, the most prominent unfilled cabinet post in the Trump administration. It was originally slated to be filled by New York congresswoman Elise Stefanik, who stepped aside during the confirmation process to return to Congress and bolster the Republican majority. Waltz was tapped by Trump in May after a stint as the president&#8217;s top foreign policy advisor in the White House.
Trump&#8217;s appearance comes as he works to negotiate a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, as well as an end to Israel&#8217;s war on Hamas in Gaza. Trump has been a juggernaut on the world stage, and has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for his work to negotiate the end of conflicts around the world.

Rubio <a href="http://dailywire.com/news/rubio-bars-mahmoud-abbas-from-entering-u-s-ahead-of-palestinian-statehood-push-at-un">blocked Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas</a> from entering the country, in anticipation of a push for Palestinian statehood at the gathering of world leaders.
Republicans almost certainly have the votes to confirm Waltz when the vote takes place. His nomination was delayed by Democrats, who managed to get Waltz and a handful of other nominees sent back to committee. He was approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee despite a &#8220;no&#8221; vote from Republican senator Rand Paul.
Waltz has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/make-the-un-great-again-waltz-challenges-antisemitism-china-favoritism-at-united-nations">pledged</a> to &#8220;Make the UN Great Again,&#8221; if confirmed.

Mike Waltz is one step closer to becoming President Donald Trump&#8217;s U.S. ambassador to the United Nations thanks to the help of a Senate Democrat.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 12-10 on Thursday to favorably report Waltz&#8217;s nomination to the full chamber. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), ranking member of the panel, joined with all but one Republican in voting &#8220;yes.&#8221; Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and the rest of the Democrats voted against Waltz.
In a <a href="https://x.com/AndrewDesiderio/status/1948413228628742521" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>, Shaheen said she disagrees with Waltz on some issues, &#8220;including his use of unclassified systems to coordinate sensitive documents.&#8221; However, the New Hampshire Democrat added that she views Waltz as representing a &#8220;moderating force with a distinguished record of military service and an extensive background in national security policymaking,&#8221; and she suggested the United States is &#8220;better off&#8221; with him as opposed to potential &#8220;alternatives.&#8221;
Shaheen also declared that she intends to hold Waltz &#8220;accountable&#8221; in the months and years ahead, and noted that she welcomes the Trump administration&#8217;s &#8220;commitment&#8221; to distribute $75 million of &#8220;lifesaving&#8221; foreign assistance.
Waltz, a former Florida congressman and Green Beret veteran, was ousted from his role as Trump&#8217;s national security adviser after he took responsibility for the &#8220;Signalgate&#8221; controversy earlier this year. Trump then <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/curveball-amid-rumors-that-mike-waltz-was-fired-trump-gives-him-another-top-admin-post" target="_blank" rel="noopener">picked</a> Waltz to become his envoy to the United Nations after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-pulls-stefanik-nomination-united-nations-ambassador" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pulling</a> Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) as his nominee for the role. Stefanik is now <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elise-stefanik-reportedly-set-to-challenge-hochul-for-new-york-governor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expected</a> to run for governor of New York against the Democrat incumbent, Kathy Hochul.
During Waltz&#8217;s confirmation hearing, Paul confronted the nominee on the issue of war powers. Paul was the sole Republican to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-rebuffs-dem-bid-to-limit-trumps-iran-war-powers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vote</a> with the majority of Democrats in June for a failed measure that sought to stop Trump from launching further attacks on Iran with the consent of Congress.
&#8220;I guess it just worries me that you come more from the Liz Cheney wing of the party than the Donald Trump wing of the party,&#8221; Paul <a href="https://x.com/cspan/status/1945157737844777039" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, to which Waltz contended in his reply: &#8220;I am squarely with the president &#8230; in terms of the limits on hard power.&#8221;
Paul <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/07/24/congress/waltz-nomination-overcomes-rand-paul-hurdle-00474459" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> told colleagues on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that he was willing to vote in favor of Waltz, but without a favorable recommendation.

Mike Waltz, whom President Trump has nominated to become UN Ambassador, condemned the United Nations, saying it routinely displayed “pervasive antisemitism” as he testified before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations hearing regarding his nomination.
“We must also challenge pervasive antisemitism. From 2015 to 2023, the General Assembly passed 154 resolutions against Israel versus 71 against all other nations combined,” he noted. “UNRWA, in Gaza, with its staff involved in the October 7 massacre, its schools teaching antisemitic hate, must be dismantled. The reappointment of special rapporteur Francesca Albanese —with her calls to boycott American companies doing business with Israel — highlights this bias. President Trump’s executive order, Chairman Risch, your Stand With Israel Act, require withholding funds from such bodies. I fully support Rep. Elise Stefanik’s proposal for an Abraham Accords caucus within the UN.”
Asked what specific actions he could take to “shut down the pervasive antisemitism at the UN,” Waltz replied, “It is pervasive, and I could probably spend the rest of this hearing highlighting the antisemitic activities, one aspect of which is Article VII of the Human Rights council; Israel is the only nation with a standing mandate to highlight its ‘human rights abuses’ every single meeting and it’s been going on for decades.”
More information about how the UN uses Article VII to unfairly target Israel can be found <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnRT8MXuMsk&amp;t=81s">here</a>.
Speaking of Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s call for sanctions on the virulently antisemitic UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, Waltz declared, “I support the Secretary’s call for sanctions on the UN Special Rapporteur. I think she is the poster child for antisemitism in the UN. I think we have to take a step back and address and work with both Israel and work with our allies on to why this continues to happen. I understand the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, but I will say over and over again: If Hamas would lay down their arms, if they would surrender, if they would stop sacrificing their own people, the fighting would stop  today.”
Waltz also targeted the UN for its bias toward China, asserting, “It’s absurd that the world’s second largest economy is treated as a developing nation in most UN agencies. That gives China favorable status; China pushes its personnel at all levels; including bodies that set international standards in aviation, telecommunication, IP. U.S. leadership is essential there; America must have a strong voice. If confirmed, I will work with Secretary Rubio to challenge this influence.”

Senate Hearing Held For Foreign Ambassador Nominees

Trump Un Nominee Mike Waltz Blasts UN For ‘Pervasive Antisemitism’ In Senate Confirmation Hearing

Former Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) challenged the United Nations over policy positions that coddle Communist China and unfairly attack Israel, saying that if he is confirmed as U.S. Ambassador to the UN, he will work to change that and &#8220;make the UN great again.&#8221;
Waltz delivered his opening statement on Tuesday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and he argued — among other things — that the United Nations should no longer treat China as a &#8220;developing nation&#8221; when it boasts the world&#8217;s second-largest economy.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
After offering thanks to his family and military colleagues for their support, Waltz jumped immediately to how his experience as a Green Beret veteran would inform his ability to work within the United Nations and advance President Donald Trump&#8217;s agenda and vision within the global body.
Referencing his prior field experience with non-governmental organizations (NGOs), Waltz noted that often the money and resources were mismatched — and said that he would direct efforts toward correcting those imbalances wherever possible.
Waltz went on to say that many Americans had become disillusioned with the United Nations, arguing that it had &#8220;drifted from its core mission&#8221; — and that a refocusing was in order. &#8220;We must return to the UN&#8217;s charter and first principles &#8230; and focus on peacekeeping, not nation-building.&#8221;
&#8220;Countering China, absolutely &#8230; is critical,&#8221; he continued, promising to work alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio to &#8220;challenge&#8221; China&#8217;s influence. &#8220;It’s absurd that the world’s second-largest economy is treated as a developing nation in most UN agencies that gives China favorable status.&#8221;
Waltz concluded by saying that it was equally important to push back against the &#8220;pervasive&#8221; antisemitism in the United Nations, pointing out the fact that in just the last decade alone, the General Assembly had passed &#8220;154 resolutions against Israel versus 71 against all other nations combined.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m confident under [Trump&#8217;s] leadership, we can continue to spread peace and prosperity — and I&#8217;m confident we can Make the U.N. Great Again,&#8221; he said.

On Sunday, President Donald Trump criticized how journalists have framed Mike Waltz&#8217;s transition from national security adviser to nominee for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
Several media outlets <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/flurry-of-reports-claim-mike-waltz-out-as-national-security-adviser" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> last week that Waltz, a former Republican congressman from Florida and Green Beret veteran, was ousted from his White House role after he took responsibility for the &#8220;Signalgate&#8221; controversy. However, when <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UX2TDnN5F4Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pressed</a> by reporters aboard Air Force One during a flight from Florida to Washington, D.C., Trump rejected the notion that Waltz stepped down, let alone was forced out.
&#8220;I just moved him. There was no resignation,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;You people are so bad. You&#8217;re trying to make a big deal out of something that&#8217;s not.&#8221;
In fact, the president insisted moments earlier, Waltz had been promoted.
&#8220;I think it&#8217;s an upgrade,&#8221; Trump said.
Trump dismissed the suggestion that appointing Waltz as his national security adviser was a mistake.
&#8220;He was fine and, where he is, he&#8217;ll do a good job,&#8221; Trump said.
Trump also shut down a reporter who asked what made him lose confidence in Waltz.
&#8220;I didn&#8217;t lose confidence in him. Why did I lose confidence? He&#8217;s going to the United Nations — to me, I think it&#8217;s — personally, if I had to choose for myself &#8230; I&#8217;d rather have that job than the other,&#8221; Trump said.
The &#8220;Signalgate&#8221; controversy began after The Atlantic&#8217;s Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg reported in late March that he had inadvertently gained access to a Signal group chat in which leading Trump administration officials discussed plans for airstrikes on Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.
In the ensuing fallout, Waltz took responsibility for the breach, which has been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/so-damn-dangerous-signal-chat-breach-linked-to-automated-suggestion-feature-on-iphone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">linked</a> to the “automated suggestion” feature on his iPhone. But the Trump administration denied there was classified information in the conversation, and the president had stood by Waltz.
On May 1, hours after a flurry of reports <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/flurry-of-reports-claim-mike-waltz-out-as-national-security-adviser" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Waltz was out as national security adviser, Trump delivered a surprise announcement in which he revealed that he was nominating Waltz to become U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, a move that followed Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) being <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-pulls-stefanik-nomination-united-nations-ambassador" target="_blank" rel="noopener">withdrawn</a> as the original nominee.
Unlike with his role as national security adviser, Waltz will have to go through a Senate confirmation process to be affirmed as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Senate Democrats are predicting a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/senate-democrats-predicting-brutal-un-ambassador-confirmation-hearing-mike-waltz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;brutal&#8221;</a> confirmation hearing, whenever one is scheduled.
As Waltz prepares for his new role, Trump is already looking ahead to fill the vacancy left by Waltz’s departure from the national security adviser position.
On Air Force One, the president <a href="https://x.com/AutismCapital/status/1919217781846708651" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> reporters that he aims to pick a new national security adviser in the next six months. When asked if he is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-trump-white-house-aide-in-running-to-take-post-vacated-by-mike-waltz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">considering</a> White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, Trump said Miller is &#8220;at the top of the totem pole&#8221; and &#8220;indirectly, already has that job.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ive-never-seen-anything-like-it-stephen-miller-blasts-jb-pritzker-for-inciting-violence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miller</a>, who currently serves as the Trump administration&#8217;s Homeland Security adviser, is one of the few key players who has been with the president through his entire first term in office and into the second — and Axios cited five sources who suggested Miller was a likely choice to move into the position vacated by former Congressman (R-FL) and Green Beret veteran Mike Waltz.
One obvious reason for the move would be the fact that Trump trusts Miller to advance his agenda — and Axios cited one source who noted that Miller was already known within the administration for his efficiency, having ensured that the White House Homeland Security Council runs &#8220;like clockwork.&#8221; The source also noted that despite having a smaller staff, Miller&#8217;s HSC is &#8220;infinitely more effective than the NSC [National Security Council].&#8221;
Other sources noted that Miller&#8217;s ability to work well with Secretary of State Marco Rubio — who currently is doing multiple jobs within the administration including taking up the National Security Adviser role until Waltz&#8217;s permanent replacement is found — could be a key factor as well.
&#8220;Marco and Stephen have worked really closely on immigration and it might be a perfect match,&#8221; one said.
Another added, &#8220;Given how well he&#8217;s worked with Marco, many see him as the perfect person to restore the role of the NSA to a staff-level policy role that reports to the chief of staff, instead of some inflated Cabinet position.&#8221;
The speculation regarding Miller comes after President Trump delivered a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/curveball-amid-rumors-that-mike-waltz-was-fired-trump-gives-him-another-top-admin-post" target="_blank" rel="noopener">surprise staffing shake-up</a> on Thursday, announcing after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/flurry-of-reports-claim-mike-waltz-out-as-national-security-adviser" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rumors swirled</a> all day that Waltz had been fired that he instead planned to appoint the former Florida Congressman to serve as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations.
