And so what did they destroy their energy sector? They completely destroyed. destroyed the idea of a German family and that they have no fertility. They destroyed their borders. They let in people who hate them, violent people from the Middle East. They're bankrupt. They can't afford it. They did all that was all self-inflicted wounds. And that meant the whole EU is in crisis. So the EU, when you

When you look at the founding date, whatever, you look at the six nations that talked about being the EU out of the common market, or you look at the nine or 10 that said they were EU in 1998. Every year, almost from 1998 up until we have about 30 now, they added nations to the EU and population. So they should have had bigger and bigger GDP.

But every year, vis-a-vis the United States, it's kept 50 states. Their GDP grew. smaller compared to ours. It grew, but at a smaller rate. So now two countries that were about the same, two continental systems that were about the same in 1998, the United States is 60% to 70% larger its GDP than the EU. So it is a mess. And yes, they don't like each other.

And they like German money, but if a German... I don't know how to say this. I know, Sammy, I think you're of German extraction, so I have to be careful. But as a European said to me once, I'm not making this up. He was in Greece, though. He said, if it wasn't for their money, we wouldn't like Germans. And if they don't have money, they're not going to be a popular people in Europe.

And they don't have money anymore. And they can't subsidize everybody. And if you're British... And you can't provide order, calm, discipline, the British system of professional ethics everybody looks for. You go to London, it's the nicest, most ordered place in the world. If you don't have that British civilizing input into you, what good are you? because it's not a very strong nation.

And if you don't bring its civilizational values, which are under assault. So all of the contributors in the EU, each according to their station, is not participating. And who is going to subsidize Ireland and Spain and Greece and Italy when they don't meet their economic targets as far as debt ratios? And Germany is not going to be able to keep doing it. It's broke.

And Britain, I don't know what happened to Britain. It's out in outer space somewhere. It's just drifting along. You hear all these weird things about it. It doesn't seem to have free speech. It doesn't have due process. It doesn't have a military. It's just the mayor of London is insane. It seems like they hate the British. Yeah.
