i thought it was an outstanding speech. it made me proud to be an american to hear my commander-in-chief speak that way. i mean, look, what he did today he recast america first not as a call for isolation. remember when everybody on the left was worried he was going to be isolationist. he cast it not as a call for isolation but american global leadership based on the principle of state sovereignty that free s nation states, free, prosperous and strong nation states are what is necessary to confront the dangers we face in the world. he is absolutely right. you know, communism and fascism were not defeated by the united nations. the dramatic expansion of freedom, prosperity and opportunity that we have seen in the world since the collapse of communism isn t the result of global institutions. it s the result of the spread of the american idea of free enterprise backed by u.s. military might and by the projection of american power and our allies. and that s what he talked about today. ma
political freedoms in venezuela. the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faithfully implemented. 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. martha: all right. so if you missed it today, that s a pretty good summary of where president trump went with this speech. mark thiessen an american enterprise scholar a fox news scrinter and someone who has written two presidential speeches done at the u.n. and larry coshocton. fellow at the progress served as defense secretary under president reagan both here for analysis here tonight. mark, let me start with you. what did you think? sure.
