What was said

"We have studies about what's from UBS as well, about what's have happening in Europe over the last over the last 5 years. Um wealth median wealth per adult in Britain has fallen by around 23% in the Netherlands by about 25% in Germany by about 14%. Europeans are getting poorer."

Citing UBS data, Alexander reveals dramatic declines in median wealth per adult across major European economies over the past five years, with the Netherlands down 25%, Britain down 23%, and Germany down 14%. This contrasts sharply with earlier discussion of wealth increases in Russia during the same period. Alexander predicts this trend will continue as defense spending crowds out productive investment.
