Sweeenie's Take, Episode 12. The European Life, Information Control, and Why Abolishing Migrant Public Charge Restrictions is Literally Tantamount to Treason.

Now, as I said before, I was in Spain and Italy.

I first jumped up to, I stopped in Madrid where I lived for a few years.

It's where I learned to speak Spanish.

If anyone does speak Spanish, stop me any day of the week and we'll have a conversation in that language.

I don't always get that opportunity, but I enjoy it when it finds me.

And then I drove north to San Sebastian, First, I was in Santander, but San Sebastian was the highlight of that Spanish trip.

And when I was up there, I was with two good friends of mine.

Someone had discussed and coincidentally sent me a message saying, oh, must suck being out of the country.

That's not true.

And I checked over with the guys at Fact Machine who run polls.

I've talked to you guys about Fact Machine before.

And I was scrolling through and seeing if they had done any polls about this debate that's currently circulating our political discourse in this day and age of quality of life, Europe versus America.

And I know this might come as a surprise for me because I believe in American preeminence.

And I believe in the global positive hegemony that the United States and our influence has over the world.

But if you have never left the United States, and I'll show you this graphic, 72% of people think Americans have a better life right now than Europeans.

I was shocked to see that.

And I'm a pro-America person as long as the day is long, okay? But if you've never left the contiguous US, and Hawaii doesn't really count, that's where you go and you're getting in a dispute with your wife, you get an even worse one because you're flirting with the waitress there who's giving you a lahu or woha, I don't know what those things are called.

And if you've never left the United States of America and gone to the beaches of Italy, Southern France, and Northern Spain, let me tell you something right now, brother.

You are letting the best of life pass you by.

There is not a Buffalo Wild Wings in sight in the very best way.

There's no Dave & Buster's, there's no Starbucks, Burger King, McDonald's.

Okay, there's a Starbucks, but that really pisses me off, which we'll get to when we talk about true diversity.

I don't like seeing American globalism when I'm trying to have some paella.

You walk to the beach in bare feet.

It is clean.
