Energy Realities


The UN and Climate Week Experience the Trump Effect

September 29, 2025

What a week at the UN. They were expecting a climate and green energy rally, but they got President Trump going off the teleprompter and delivering some Energy Realities that were more like a shark in a tidal pool filled with fish that could not escape. Buckle up and enjoy the global impact of the Presidential speech at the UN General Assembly.


In this week’s episode of The Energy Realities Podcast, hosts Stuart Turley, David Blackmon, Dr. Tammy Nemeth, and Irina Slav for a lively discussion on the “Trump Effect” that shook the UN and Climate Week. From the broken teleprompter moment to Trump’s fiery critique of global climate policies and migration funding, the panel dives deep into how his remarks exposed the contradictions of the green agenda.


Packed with sharp analysis, humor, and hard truths, this episode reveals how political theater at the UN became a reality check for the global climate establishment.


Personally, I think that we should defund the UN and throw them out of the United States. There is more than enough evidence that they have used USAID money against our country.
