These are the headlines you Need 2 Know. * **Trump Incites Laughter from World Leaders:** In a return to his “America First” platform, President Trump spoke Tuesday at the UN General Assembly in Manhattan and said, “America is governed by Americans…We reject the ideology of globalism and accept the doctrine of patriotism.” During his address, Trump denounced Iran and Venezuela but said he remains optimistic about working with North Korea to de-escalate the threat of nuclear violence. But there was one moment of levity in the president’s speech. The audience, full of world leaders, laughed in unison when Trump claimed his administration has “accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country.” In a rare moment of vulnerability, Trump replied, “Didn’t expect that reaction, but that's OK.” Watch the moment [here](https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2018/09/25/trump-un-general-assembly-reaction-speech-nr-vpx.cnn/video/playlists/united-nations/). * **Kavanaugh Confirmation Vote Set:** The Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on Friday to confirm Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court, just a day after the judge and one accuser, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, testify before the body. Committee Republicans have hired Rachel Mitchell, an experienced sex crimes prosecutor, to question Kavanaugh and Ford at Thursday’s hearing. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said, “the goal is to de-politicize the process and get to the truth.” Many Democrats have slammed this decision, arguing it will turn the Senate hearing into a criminal prosecution.
