Discussion on Europe's Political Challenges

Uh, Europe has to straighten out their act.

So I called the various countries in Europe, and

as you know, uh, we're doing very well with Iran.

We just have to make a final decision of which way do we wanna win.

Do we wanna win the nice way or the not nice way?

Uh, but we're doing very well. We don't need any help. But I

was testing them.

I just called individual presidents and prime

So,

not gonna have a Europe pretty soon if they keep going,

and it's mostly immigrant.

There are other pro-- You know, JD wrote a great post on it

recently and... But he would say the same thing.

I would've said it,

uh, whether I looked or not. I mean, it's a very much of an immigration

problem. You have people coming into countries

that don't like the countries.

Somebody said it very well. I said it very well.

They don't like the buildings.

They don't like the art. They don't like anything about the

country, and they don't

like the people.

They have no reason not to do what they did in France.

And I told-
