Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't work.

You have the capitalist free market, which is great at moving things forward.

So there's no reason why a society, if anyone involved in politics after 20 years

of contribution, 30 years of contribution to the public good, you're not leaving a society which is slightly better than the one that you inherited.

And that's not the case anymore, right?

Because we are now dealing with the first generation in the West where parents have come to the conclusion that their kids are going to have a worse standard of life than the one that they themselves had.

And that's unknown throughout the West.

So we've been failing.

If I say that the object of politics is to basically make slightly better the society that you yourselves have inherited, we've failed at that.

And just to give an example of the UK, for example, look at housing, because this is really sort of

impacting young families and their ability to provide responsibly and create the next generation.

But I think 15 years ago, the average London price for a property was four or five times the average salary.

And now it's 12 times.

And this is a condo here.

It's not as if Brits are accelerating an explosion of reproducing children.

This is because there are people coming into the country that need housing, and that's putting the crisis on property.

And as Steve Bannon, my boss, likes to say, and I think it's absolutely perfect, that the obsession, and this is a particularly American point of view, but I think it's true right throughout the West, is that our political class has been obsessing with widening trade to the degree that the system, the West, has created comfortable...

thriving middle classes in China and in India at the expense of decimating your own native blue collar workers in your own backyard.

So we actually have loaded on working families the double punitive policy goals of flooding the country with immigrants.

most of whom have invited themselves.
