What is the historical significance of Britain's past power?
Whatever happened to Britain or the UK or England or whatever they're calling it? We can't even agree on what it's called, but... England, the England that if you're over 50, you grew up learning about, the England that controlled the world, the England that ran the largest empire in human history. At the end of World War I, Britain, which is an island in a pretty unhospitable climate, controlled literally a quarter of the Earth's surface and not controlled in the way the United States controls the rest of the world. with an implied threat or with economic ties to trade, but actually controlled with administrators and people sitting at desks with eye shades, counting things, like actually controlled a quarter of the Earth's surface.
Way more than Rome, way more than the Mongols, way more than anybody ever, or maybe in the future, ever. Britain was the most powerful country in the history of the world. And then 25 years later, it was this kind of sad, soggy welfare state, which is to some extent what it still is, except maybe even a little bit worse. What happened? Well, there are a couple of levels I want you to think about this. First, it's just geopolitical. And I guess they spent a lot of money in these wars and the ruling, you know, half the class of Eton 1910 was killed in the trenches or whatever. You can think of a lot of different ways to explain what happened to Britain. The fact remains, however, they won the two biggest wars in human history.
They won, and yet they're still greatly diminished and to some extent humiliated. It's like, what is that? So again, the first can be described, the first explanation can be described as, In economic terms, well, the United States took over. The British Empire just moved west to its child, the U.S. They just transferred the power and a lot of the gold to this new country, which had its systems and some of its customs. Okay. But there's something kind of deeper, actually. If that were the whole story, then Britain would still be recognizably Britain. The English people would still be recognizably English. They would just be not in charge anymore. They would have less money and less power, but the country would be, by any conventional measurement, thriving, just not running the Bahamas and Hong Kong, you know, Pakistan and
But that's not what's happened, actually. After winning the two biggest wars in human history, Britain has shrunken, not just physically, but in some way that's hard to describe. Its culture has changed. Some might say has been destroyed, and it's become something completely different. And what is that? And by the way, why does it matter what it is? Well, it matters because what's happened to Britain, to England, is also happening to many countries in the West. Certainly its heirs, the Anglosphere, and that specifically would be Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, Ireland. It's happening to those countries, but it's also happening to the rest of Western Europe all at the same time. A bunch of different profound events
never seen before phenomenon are happening to all of those countries. And again, including ours here in the United States. So it's worth understanding what has happened to Britain. So maybe the best image that describes it is the one that we're about to show you. And in case there's no context in the tape, what you're watching is a woman being arrested outside of an abortion clinic. And keep in mind, as you watch this, she's not being arrested for throwing a firebomb, a petrol bomb, through the window of this abortion clinic in the U.K., or even for obstructing access to this abortion clinic. No, she's being arrested and taken to jail for praying outside the abortion clinic. Watch this.
Before I ask you any questions about what's going on today, I have to caution you, which is just your rights, which is you do not have to say anything. It may harm your defense if you do not mention or question something that you later on in court. What are you here for today?
Physically, I'm just standing here.
