WATTERS: And then they sabotaged the teleprompter. I mean, this is an insurrection. And what we need to do is either leave the UN or we need to bomb it. It is in New York though right?

GUTFELD: Yeah, it is.

WATTERS: Could be some fallout there. Alright, maybe gas it?

DANA PERINO (CO-HOST): Let’s not do that.

WATTERS: Don’t gas it. Okay, but we need to destroy it. Maybe can we demolish the building? Have everybody leave and then we will demolish the building.

    UN headquarters needs to be in Geneva or something, not in one of the 5 nuclear powers. Seriously wtf, this looked biased AF. Like how would the average American feel if UN was located in Moscow or Shanghai?

      Somewhere in Switzerland would be a better place for the UN headquarters.

      P.S.: That Watters guy is calling for terrorist attacks in New York, what a violent traitor.

      It’s complicated. As modern as the building looks today, the UN’s construction and planning began before the nuclear arms race.

      Well when the UN was founded it was right after a war on European soil. Guess other nations didn’t trust the Europeans after two world wars. Also at the time Europe was the US’s bitch so they didn’t have much influence.

      And New York had probably the best infrastructure at the time to safely receive and transport diplomats to the HQ. Because the rest of the world was either still in rubble or didn’t have modern infrastructure.
