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.

    AFAIK, unlike Vatican City, UNHQ isn’t drawn on any map of the world, and if you were to ask someone to name countries, UNHQ wouldn’t be on anyone’s list.

    Moreover, US laws still apply, which makes the territory not independent. It is a special area of the US, but is still firmly US.

    A similar situation is with, for example, US military bases. They’re part of the county they’re physically in, but the laws are effectively US. It’s more of a “live and let live” situation - even in Cuba.
