Return control to the states. Those agencies give power to the federal government to dictate energy and education policies to the States. It is the States who educate the children, and manage energy resources. Do they need one-size-fits-all programs? Some things do need to be standardized. But that should be done through legislation, not through unelected beaurocratic deciders.
By getting rid of the UN he means getting us out of it, and getting it out of America.

It makes complete sense of course, but does the american president even have enough power to abolish it, i think not, so why say it?

This one is easy though. There's not much the federal government can do to make anything work better. I don't really love public education myself, but it's not the issue here. The federal government has no place in education. If it's needed, the states, counties, municipalities, and whatever other local governments are in place can take care of it. I don't want to pay to educate someone in Houston, especially because they might view education differently. I think "Physical Education" is a waste of time and money, but others might not agree. Don't make me pay for it.
