Hello, Riley here. Welcome to the No Spin News Tuesday September 21, 2021 stand up for your country. Joe Biden at the UN is our lead story.

It was kind of boring. He's not a very inspiring speaker. He makes rhetorical mistakes and he's not really selling what he's saying. I'll get into that a little bit, but it was important.

And I don't think most people know why that speech was written, but I, of course, will tell you because I'm a blowviator and I know it all. You guys know that.

That's my charm, right? So anyway, let's begin with the over arch theme of Joe Biden speech before the United Nations General Assembly.

So he wanted to repudiate Donald Trump's America first policy. That was the goal of this speech. So Trump was, look, America is the most powerful nation on earth.

You've got to help us you foreign nations. Biden is we're all in his together and will help you foreign nations. You don't have any responsibility to us. That's Biden's posture.

Okay. He was so intent on reading the words on the teleprompter before him that he didn't pause for emphasis.

He didn't take his time or maybe look off like he was thinking about something. It was just ratatat, ratatat, ratatat. And it was hard to follow with times.

But I've selected three sound bites that I think will illuminate the over writing message that the president of the United States wanted to get to the world.

The first one deals with COVID. Now, COVID is something that unites the whole world. You got to understand it's a unifier because we're all afraid of this. It's so damaging.

So here's what President Biden said.

Plains carrying vaccines from the United States have already landed in 100 countries, bringing people all over the world a little dose of hope as one American nurse termed it to me.

A dose of hope, directing the American people. And importantly, no strings attached.

All right. So that's a good thing. You know, we the taxpayer pick it up. And I think that should have been emphasized a little bit more because you don't understand that hard working Americans pay for the vaccines that are going over to 100 foreign countries.

And you remember that President Trump made that deal with the vaccine companies. They get paid for every dose they deliver. But it's we who are paying them, not you'll buy not Donald Trump.

But it's a good thing that America is donating so much vaccine to so many people around the world. Now, I know that most countries and people will not appreciate that.

They'll say, oh, they're so rich in America. They have an obligation to do this. I know that.

But if we want to portray ourselves as a noble nation, which is above all what I want to do, then these kinds of things are necessary.

So that was a good thing. Biden could have done it better, but it was a good thing.

The second sound bite is not such a good thing. We'll let it take.

In April, I announced the United States will double our public international financing to help developing nations tackle the climate crisis.
