I'll get to that. I'll get to that. I'll get to that. Dean Blondell is back from Bavaria. Are you Dean? Yeah, good. Good. Nice to be back. I mean, you walk back into a, a call during a bullshit yet again, but I'm really happy to be back here in Canada. A wonderful trip. I'm sure we'll get to, to say my god. It's like going, it's like seeing how the saw you're going to get to that. It's like, you know, you know, there's a lot of issues sausage is made in the fascist sausage factory. That's what I saw. I saw it all. I mean, it will break it down. We'll talk about it. We've got some stuff to get to. The tick tock goes the clock. Ladies and gentlemen, for fascism to take root. We'll talk about that because there's big duans in Germany. With the AFT and the rise of AFD and the rise of Nazism. The rise of fascism in London. You know, you don't have to worry about the loss of your hands.
It's not going to be that much. But there's so much shit going on. You've got Donald Trump stealing everybody's 911 valor, telling lie after fucking lie after fucking lie. The Iran War, back on. Gas oil rather. 100 bucks barrel. Folks sure. Oh my god. I feel terrible for America today. Today was like one of the first days I felt really bad for America. And I mean it like it's not even maybe in a dick. You had this incredible article on Dean Blendell that's upstecked.com where you were talking about how bad it's going to get for the next 24 the next 24 months in the American economy. And it's the least-growsy picture you could possibly paint for anybody. I mean, it's just depression after depression. And it's not really a depression yet. It's just sort of a, what did you call it, an instantulation? But it's really bad, right? I mean, the economic output for America is looking very, very poor right now. Yeah. It's a confluence of all of it at the same time, you know? And we'll get to it. But the United States of America is suffering at the hands of quite literally an international criminal who hates the United States. Donald Trump fucking hates you. Donald Trump doesn't give a shit about you.
Donald Trump doesn't give a shit about billionaires as long as Donald Trump is the king of the billionaires. And right now he is because he gets to tell all these billionaires to heal. Tadah tadah tadah. But along the way in this crazy revenge tour, Donald Trump has started nine wars. He says it's solved nine. He started nine. He's still at war with Iran. We still can't get oil, not we, the United States of America. Cannot get that sweet crude out of the street of Hormuz. It is totally fucking locked up. Canada has basically said, fuck you. We don't even know who you are anymore. Like we're done. And Tarev started a couple of days ago here in Canada, at the United States, targeting some very specific industries. And the energy industries next to it, we're going to start export taxes in the energy industry very, very soon. Rare metals, rare earth, critical minerals. Everything that United States needs to litigate a war, to move around, to be warm in the winter, to have electricity. Canada has the ability to do that. So you want to talk about that energy cliff. You want to talk about that picture,
what it looks like when America has to buy their own bonds back, which they're doing fucking furiously right now because everybody else is selling them as well. So it's not a rosy picture, but it is a rosy picture. If you consider why this is all happening. And if you look at maps and you listen to people like Charlie Cook, prognosticators, and if you understand the Donald Trump, if he doesn't try and steal the election, if he's not successful in rigging this election, go have mail, put out an article the other day, saying, yeah, he's doing it. He's going to try and rig the election. We all know it's true. We can read the tea leaves. And we'll get to that as well today. But this is going to be an obliteration of Vega. This is going to be the end of Donald Trump's influence. We're seeing it now. And so yes, it's bad. But it gets a lot bad, a lot worse, if we don't do, what Germany didn't have the nuts to do back in 1924. And I mean that, and we'll get to that a little later on this. Yeah, we will. But Dean, you're all wrong because the president just stopped a few minutes ago declaring this. The president, you've been saying for weeks that oil and gas prices are going to come down.
Oil is now back above $100 a barrel. How do you explain this to Americans who are wondering, which way do I think it's going to go down? Well, I think it's very easy to explain to America. All you have to do is say, will you let Iran have a nuclear weapon? And the answer is no. And they're doing very poorly. Their country is in shambles right now. Goes on to say that just after the elections, the price of gas will be a little below $2. I think he said somewhere in the $2 range, just after the elections. You just have to get through the midterms. And then there it'll be this glorious sudden decline in the price of gas across America. Of course, that's not going to happen. We can guarantee you it's not going to happen. But he's still out there, spending the lives, telling people what they think. What do you think they want to hear in order to get away with all of this? Well, of course, because he's an inventor and liar. One of the things that if anybody's ever been conned by a conman, I unfortunately have one time. Just one time. Fantastic stories of your immediate wealth. Fantastic stories of never having to work.
Again, never having to vote again. $2 gas, everybody's happy. We're going to have so much food. We're going to make so much money. We're going to be cutting you checks. You're going to make billions, zillions, trillions. Donald Trump, it's on a three month cycle. Donald Trump is two weeks, right? Once we get here, things would be great. Once we get past the first quarter, let Nick has her to all these guys. Once you get past Q2, Q3, we've had four cues. We've had two years. There's no relief in sight because he's in the fucking United States. And he's useless. He's useless. He's not even useless. He's actually trying to create the economy. And you know, we'll get into that later on. But I want to get into the number five story in the content. Because it's so important, especially as it relates to your return from your trip to Germany. You went with Steve Schmidt and he's done and your son. What inspired you to do the trip? Well, it's a great story. You know, over the past, I would say a year, year and a half have been fascinated by the idea that America would elect this man again.
And Steve Schmidt is one of the greatest historians. I know. And he's one of the most principled men. I know. We've got two sons, 20 years old. We also understand that it's going to take young men to dig us out of this hole. I'm 53, Steve's 55. Both of our young men, as you can see them there, there's my guy Jake in the middle. There's Steve's son, Joey on the right. That's a top eagles nest, Hitler's T-house. In the Bavarian Alps, as a matter of fact, just on top of Oberts' Salzburg, which is Betjes Garden, which is where easy company actually put an end to Hitler, put an end to the regime. And the Berghof Hitler's house is at the bottom of that mountain. It's just an incredible time that we had going through, walking through the steps of not just the Nazis, not just the Jews that the Nazis took on a death march for six days to Tegernzee Lake and Tegernzee the town where they were going to push them in the lake and kill them before easy company. And the Japanese arm of the US airborne, the Nisei, were able to save these people to take
out the Nazi regime and to liberate Dachau. So we went to Dachau first and then we went to eagles nest. And the reason why we went is because I needed to understand how fascism flourishes from the place that it was born, from the place that it got a second chance and from the place that it died. Now, we're going to be talking about Germany and the rise of the AFD, which is a very fascist organization. A lot of people do in the high-hitler salute when they won in Saxony the other day. But it is chic again for some people. It's not chic here for anybody. And so when we went to Germany, we retraced those steps. We went to the Nazi Holocaust Museum. We went to the National Socialist Museum to see where so national socialism started, to see where the anti-Semitism started, to see where fascism and Nazism took root and it really took root because of cowardice on behalf of the German government. Hitler was arrested after the Beer Hall push in 1910. Stop there. Stop there.
Don't go there yet. We stop there and just go to the news and then look back to the way we are because I think it will fit right in. So this is the story today at number five. Friedrich Merz cancels his cold Donald Trump on Wednesday. How was after Trump congratulated the AFD on winning the Saxony Unholt State election in Eastern Germany? Germany's domestic intelligence agency classifies the AFD as extremists, which supposedly is very similar to what Maggie is all about. So, and therefore in their terms, maybe Trump is also an extremist. But the fact that Trump went all out on Fox News and in other places to say it was a really big night for the AFD in Germany, really upset Merz. So he scrapped the call over the post by the next morning. He then went to the Bundestag and the AFD's migration policy, complaining about it being ethnic cleansing really in a stormy debate with the AFD leader. So that sets the stage for why everything that you went through in the last few days, traveling through Nazi Germany and the history there relates so much to what's going on
right now in Germany today with Merz and Trump really having a real break up over what happened with the AFD. Yeah, but it history doesn't repeat itself. It rhymes, but it repeats itself as well. And we're seeing it now. All the hallmarks are the same. To understand that, and I appreciate you getting the fifth story in there so we can get moving before I started yammering on about why we were there. To understand that, you have to understand that Hitler affected a whole bunch of young men before 1923, before the Beer Hall push. What is the Beer Hall push? The way that Naziism, national socialism, Naziism and fascism really took root is in these beer halls, like the Hofbrow House, which is where the Beer Hall push started. We took my son there, we went and saw the bullet hole in the ceiling where Hitler stood up and goes, it's time for a fucking revolution boys and everybody looked at him and was like, what the fuck are you talking about? He was arrested thrown in jail, which is where he wrote mine comp. He was let out of jail five months later. He was supposed to serve a five year sentence because he had curated such a cult among these
young men, among industrialist money. Just think brola garks people think Elon Musk, who he managed to tell all of those people. Listen, it's the Jews and the Bolsheviks. They want to kill you and I will protect you from them killing you. Well what is going on in Germany right now? The Syrians and the immigrants want to kill you. We will protect you in Saxony, which is old East Berlin, by and large. So long story short, today we are seeing the same thing. We had Trump on the mat and we let him up, Merrick Garland, let him up, Joe Biden, let him get off the mat. We refused to deal with this because everybody is afraid of the cult personality and personal fear, personal game. That's exactly what happened when he was, Hitler was let out of prison. In 1924, within eight years, he became the chancellor of Germany. Within nine to ten years, he had established the first concentration camp just outside
of Munich, Dachau. And within fifteen years, he had murdered, stick million Jews and 11 million other human beings because people let fascism go. They were afraid of dealing with the fucking cult personality. They were afraid of dealing with this young man. And we're watching this happen in the United States right now and we're watching this happen in Germany and that's where it's most concerning. So good for Merrs because that is how you deal with fascism. You do not fucking entertain it. And Donald Trump is a fascist. Donald Trump's attacking Canada. Donald Trump is is bigging up Vladimir Putin and G and the North Little Prick and North Korea. He's supporting Nazi, the rise of Naziism and a self-evowed fascist party named the AFD in Germany and we're watching everything from the propaganda to the ginning up of angry young men to the white nationalist, the Christian attachment, the religious attachment. We're seeing it happen all again.
And in America, you have a chance in like 53 days to put an end to this or to start the ball rolling to put an end in fascism in the United States, not in Germany. Not in Germany. Germany is starting to experience this resurgence and it's through the same doorways and through the same dark alleys and in the same beer halls that it started in in 1920 fucking four. And that's the truth. Everyone should be reading, if they haven't yet, your write-ups about your journey with your son and Steve Schmitz and his son because it's quite a remarkable journey and really the part that struck me the most is Dachau as you got there. And I think you called it hauntingly quiet and very fucking real. And then we're at the beginning of that again is what you said. And it is very haunting. I mean, just the idea that we could be back here in this in the same kind of situation as we were then is mind-boggling really. It's and frightening to the end to agree. Yeah, I don't have you been to Dachau?
I have not though. Yeah. I have never, you know, it was always so far away, right? It was always so far away. And I'm not talking about, you know, in distance, I'm talking about it. In my mind's eye, it's just a place that you never thought you'd see kind of like the Roman cults, you never. And a place that was so, you know, you hear people come back and they'd have these haunting stories and it's all true. Not no one talked. We walked into Dachau. It was not just eerily silent, eerily reverential. These trees, this is the main thoroughfare from the front of Dachau to the back of Dachau concentration camp. Those trees were small trees when easy companies showed up, the allies showed up, general sparks showed up and freed the people. And if those trees could fucking talk about what they've seen, crematoriums, like commercial grade crematoriums.
And Dachau was small compared to Treblinka. Dachau was tiny compared to Auschwitz. And they would stack 1,600 people per unit. There's the decontamination chambers, as I cloned me, who took that picture. They would stack 1,600 people in these tiny little barracks that were meant for 200 people. The disease that rampaged through there, which is why they started to decontaminate and fumigate them. But then they just started fumigating people with their clothes. They started putting people in there. The showers that we went into, which are not showers, they're gas chambers. The crematorium, these are the ovens that they murdered. In Dachau alone in the neighborhood of about 60,000, the number really knows the number 60,000 men, women and children. They would hang them. If you look at the top, if you go back, there's the gas chamber. If you look at the top, they would just hang people on meat hooks at the top there and then slide them into these gurneys and sometimes two at a time if they had to speed it up.
And the ash that came out of the chimney is all over Dachau. It's part of everything that you walk on. You're walking on the memory of so many murdered Jewish men, women and children, political dissidents, polls, Soviets, people that just didn't agree, professors, people that taught science. And when you see this end result, and this is the first one, keep in mind at the end of World War II, there were 44,000 of these across the United States, across Europe, 44,000 men. I believe in them. And I had to check that number and see them. Like is that really the number 44,000? And he's like, yeah, that's the number. And this is not something that you embark on. There's one of the rooms. I took a picture of it. That was a small room that had hundreds of people lying on the floor lying on top of each other, lying on top of each other dead, some alive, some dead. And the idea that this can't happen, it's happening right now.
What do we have around the United States at the moment? You've got dozens of concentration camps. And keep in mind, this did not start out. Those ovens were not there at the beginning. This was a work camp. Use them for cheap labor, BMW, Hugo Boss. Bunch of different companies around Germany that were given this labor to build eaglesness, to build roads they used cheap labor. And in 1942, that's when Hitler and Heinrich Friedman, I can't remember his last name, because it escapes you right now and I've got jet lag. Sorry, I just got back late last night. I'll try guess, but I don't think I get it right. I can't remember his name. He was murdered in Czechoslovakia. It was a fucking great story. And he came up with a final solution, because the Allies landed on Normandy. And Steve said something really important. He said Hitler didn't become Hitler until Hitler became Hitler. And that was in 1942 when he realized, and so that's when the extermination really picked
up. Because I mean Jews were kept in ghettos inside the cities, right? I mean, they were sort of living in ghettos and still living life within German cities, part of society, but not really a part of society. And then they got more and more isolated until they got, you know, the trains came and started taking people away to these work camps. And again, that was considered work camps. They were not tortured chambers. They were not crematoriums. They were just, they were just what they were at work camps. And as you point out of the years, he became much more extreme in his thinking. Mm-hmm. Well, he had to be, right, to him, because it was the only way he was going to keep power. And the really sad part is, is that, you know, if you talk to somebody in the United States and you're like, hey, these, you know, the United States has concentration camps and... Hydra, by the way, is the name people are saying? Yes, Hydra, thank you. If you talk to people in the United States, they get angry when you bring up these, these examples that correlate with, you know, these death camps that started out as work camps.
It started out as detention centers. Then they became work camps. Then they became death camps. And that's what a desperate dictator and a desperate fascist and a desperate evil fuck like Adolf Hitler and everybody around, because they're so afraid of losing power. It's what they did. They killed as many people as they could. They ramped it up. And that's why they took them on death marches and we followed that death march. And this is right after the death march. You see all the Canadians that sacrificed their lives, 484 people in Dernbach cemetery, which is just outside of Dachau. We stopped and it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. The boys were there. They were 15, you know, 20, 21, 18, 19, no one over the age 27, at least I didn't see. These are young men that gave their lives for fascism, which is why we took our sons. Because it's going to be their job to understand and to bear witness to what's going on in the United States today. We needed them to bear witness to it. I'm a generation removed from the Second World War. My son and anybody who's got a son or a daughter who's, you know, between the ages of 18 and 30,
they, they, it's just, it's like ancient history to them. It's like the fucking, you know, the pyramids. They're like, oh, whatever. It's just, you know, it's so old, doesn't matter. It has never mattered more. It has never mattered more. Because we are at the gates of Dachau in the United States of America. We are at the gates of Auschwitz in the United States of America. We are at the gates of Treblinka in the United States of America. Treblinka might have been one of the worst concentration camps. If anybody knows anything about that, they build a giant open-air barbecue just to cook people. Sometimes 20, 30,000 people a day, mostly Jews, most of the people who descended, most of the people who got in Hitler's way. Donald Trump is a caged animal right now who has work camps and tension camps all across the United States of America. And he's hurting people up, chaining them, throwing them on planes and dumping them in countries they have never been to because he just doesn't like the color of their fucking skin.
How about, how about political enemies, political enemies that he's having charged and chasing down? That was the first thing Hitler did. He didn't start killing people right away. He just started turning the screws on people, threatening people, replacing judges on the judiciary to do his bidding. What do you see going on in the United States of America, friends? And do you understand the importance, the extreme importance that history plays in you taking your country back? In you opening the doors to alligator alcatraz to let those beautiful people out to treat them like fucking human beings? Do you understand that? Because I do. I do deeply today. And it was a life changing trip for me because it absolutely was true and it will remain true as long as I live that the United States is at the gates of Dakow right now. And that is not a fucking exaggeration.
It is not an exaggeration. And I think, you know, we think about what might be coming this week or next week, the first charges against the people that are supposedly responsible for the conspiracy against Donald Trump who created Trump Russia, you know, the Democrats, the Obama's and I can't remember this CIA director. Brandon. Brandon, you know, they're going to get charged in the next week or so for doing their job and telling the truth about Donald Trump and they're going to get charged and being accused of a conspiracy that never existed. And it's the same kind of thing that he did in Nazi Germany. He profile people. He created conspiracies. He basically used these state police to round up people and throw them into these camps. Certainly it all started with prosecution. But what struck me the most about your story telling this last week is the time. I mean, I struck me so deeply that it only took seven weeks. Sorry, seven months. Was it seven months? Before Dachau was opened after he was elected.
No, no, seven weeks. Seven weeks? See, I can't even believe that fact now. I'm sort of trying to digest it. How could it be seven weeks since his election that he was able to pull the soft? In some ways, we're grinding a little bit slower, even though most people say we're grinding a little faster than Hitler. But you know, the enormous, the quickness that he started his camps and how quickly they started the program is quite stunning. It's quite, you know, it's quite project. It's quite project 25, right? The very good thing about Jews always there and they just never told anybody what the story was. He was just said, Hey, listen, we're going to deal with the Jews. We're going to deal with the Bolsheviks. We'll get all the handicapped people out of your way. Everybody needs to be blonde hair. Blue eye did not did not did. The story today about the census. Yeah, the census is going to stop counting people that are not, that are not citizens, meaning not white, really. And that's just sort of how things are going to roll. I'm well, I lost you there, but I want to see you tell me about this picture here. Where are we here? Yeah, this is Dernbach War cemetery.
This is the Commonwealth, Commonwealth cemetery just outside of Dachau. New Zealanders, Aussies, Canadians, the French, these are, sorry, UK, some RAF guys are in there. That's Betres Garden. That's where Hitler made his end in Betres Garden. That's where easy company, if you watch band of brothers went to the Berghof, started getting hammered drinking all of his booze, including Herman Goring. This is an incredible drive for us too. It was very haunting at the same time. And that's Eagles Nest from almost halfway up. And that is where they designed the final solution there and at the Berghof, this mountain, at the bottom of this mountain, that is where they decided they sat around and had tea and they said, well, I guess we got to kill all the Jews. And from the time in 1933 where the work camp was done, where Dachau started, which was in 1933, and 1939 when the war had begun, they had built this in 18 months with slave labor
from Dachau. 3,800 people, hundreds died. They worked these people to death. That's the entrance to the bottom of the tunnel to go up into Eagles Nest where some of the worst of the worst was planned. And this is the Golden Elevator. This is amazing. That's Steve Schmidt. That's my son. This is us going up first thing in the morning. And this is an elevator that everybody from Herman Goring to Hitler, to Joseph Goebbels, to Adolf Eichmann, to Neville Chamberlain, the great appeaser, to the, you know, the deposed King of England who quit because he wanted to marry an American Nazi. I mean, this is they've all written this elevator to the top of Eagles. Eight out of gold actually. Yeah, it was made out of gold. And this is, I believe this is bronze, bronze plated. I think a lot of the gold was stripped out of this place and it's amazing when you go in there. You see what the Allies took. You see, and that goes all the way from the bottom of that mountain to the top. Oh, this is, this is above Eagles Nest. This is a memorial for all the people that had, the Christians have died in the actual
Second World War at the hands of Hitler. And that's looking down on Eagles Nest and that is the entire Bavarian Valley. So when you look at Eagles Nest pictures of Hitler overlooking the valley of Bavaria and Obertsolsberg and Betjesgarten, which is where the Berghof is, this is what you're looking at. It has been for, for now, you know, 80, 90 years since 1938, which is when it was built. So it's truly, it really was remarkable. The lengths that they went to to be able to hide from everybody to hide their crimes. And the other thing that was amazing too is how beautiful it was there. It might have been the most beautiful place I've ever been. And to imagine the evil that was conceived and the horrific crimes against humanity, which are unmatched in human history, in one of the most beautiful places in the world. And interesting at the bottom, Obertsolsberg was a Nazi town. He had to be a Nazi officer to live there. It was a restricted zone where every major Nazi officer from Eichmann to Martin Boreman
to Hitler to Herman Goring, that's where they lived. And you could not live there if you were not a Nazi officer. And everybody there had to be white. And it was truly one of the most spectacular places I've ever been to. There's three pieces of video that you shared. I don't know what they are, but I'm going to play them. You can talk to them over the next shortly. I think. Hmm. Yeah, this is Marion Platz. This is where the Nazis bought the shit out of this. This is a matter of fact. I'm glad there's no audio for this. But this is truly one of the most incredible scenes I've ever witnessed. Because this was gone. The Allies got rid of this. They showed up to Berlin and kicked everybody's ass. And it's still today one of the most beautiful buildings I've ever seen in my life. Marion Platz is the train station in the middle of Munich. So we started our trip just around the corner of the Hofbrow House and the Hofbrow House is exactly what you think it would be.
There's beer halls in Germany. There you go. Looks like a lot of harnesses were Hitler staged. The beginning of the end of Germany, the rise of Naziism upstairs just around the corner. You go up the stairs. It looks incredible, doesn't it? Absolutely. You can go upstairs. You can see the gun, sorry, the bullet hole that Hitler put in the roof of the Hofbrow House. And this was incredible because there's so many people having a great time in there. A void of the understanding of what that is and history. It's the home of October Fest as well, which is incredible. And this is Eagles Nest. This is walking out of the Golden Elevator. And this is what you get when you overlook the Bavarian Alps. When you overlook, that's Ober Salisburg, Betjesgarten. That's where Hitler had his house and all the douchebags did. And that of course is just the other view of the other side of Eagles Nest. And that is where Hitler would throw parties. Only was there 14 times.
I found that very interesting because he was afraid of heights because he's a pussy. Most Nazis are. There you go. I think they might throw it a little bit. So 14 times he went there, but of course he had so he died. That's where he had no. No, he didn't die there. He died in a bunker in Berlin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's where he went and hid in the furor bunker. I remember that he and Eva Braun. He's like, hey, we got to kill ourselves. So he, they took side and I pills. He shot her and then he shot himself in the head. So he saved the world. Well, that's incredible journey, Dean. I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time. Thanks, Wayne. A little bit sick. But you've done a great job of retelling the story and sharing it with everybody. And thank you so much for sharing these images of video. Everyone should be reading the series that you put out. It's really incredible. And I'll tell you that one of my best sources in government. Let's call it government adjacency. Called me up and said, hey, that series is remarkable.
And haunting and brilliance and instead of all sorts of nice things about you. Oh, that's so nice. I'll tell you who it is in private later. The purpose of this trip was to find out how long it takes. How long does it take? How long does it take to get your country back? How long does it take to defeat fascism when fascism really takes, takes fruit in the country? Like we're seeing in the United States of America. How long does it take for people to trust government again? How long does it take for humanity to recover? And listen to the answer 75 years. 75 years. 75 years. And knowing what's going on in Germany right now with the rise of the AFD, someone would say it never recovered. Right. Someone would say it just lied and wait because of the root that took hold. And if America wants to get their shit together in the next 50 odd days, I think the rest of the world would appreciate it. I think the rest of the world would understand and does understand. Because we've seen this before and I deeply understand it.
But how long does it take to get your humanity back? 75 years when you allow this to happen. And you've got 53 days to fucking figure this out. When you say 75 years, what do you call a comeback? Is it tested against the economies or tested against their commitment to human rights? What's it tested against? Yeah, it's tested against a couple different things. It's tested against human rights, basic human rights, fundamental human rights. It is tested against the monetary value of your country. It's tested against the ability for your country to be a social republic that has the ability to survive and thrive on its own, to have public transit, to have hospitals, to have devil working society again. A working society where democracy is at hand. In a country that has been taken over by fascism. In a country that's been taken over by any murderous dictatorial regime, whether it's extreme socialism, extreme fascism.
If you put all of those numbers together, it's about 10, 15 years to get on your feet again, and monetarily. But if you put all those things together, that numbers around 70, 75 years. It's an incredible number. It's an incredible, difficult number to digest. If you imagine how long it's going to take America to rebound after this mess that he's got us into. Well, that's the thing, dude. It's already going to take generations. It's not going to take it up. No, it will. It will. It will take generations because nobody trusted Germany. I grew up telling jokes about Germany. Yeah, I grew up hating Germany for very obvious reasons. You're fiddling. This is just 90 years ago. Unbelievable. Then let's get into the rest of the countdown. Thank you again, everyone. Check out Dean Bundel with substack.com, and I'm going to talk about the entire series from beginning to end. It's incredibly detailed, incredibly haunting, and very personal. I loved reading a dean, and thank you for taking us along on that journey. So thank you very much for that. Now, number four on the countdown. Jacob Cox is formerly of open AI, most recently of anthropic.
On Tuesday, posted this on X, he says, that the people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. Two colleagues inside an anthropic backed him. They still work there. The New York Times reported an AI, this is a separate story, but it's also related. The New York Times reported today that an AI, I guess it's a learning machine learning device, built a hacking tool that breaks into phones without a click. In other words, it's a completely, I think there's a term for it. I can't remember what the term is, but without even needing to press a button, it can hack your phone, break into it, and steal everything. It rides in on WeChat, and then basically takes over your phone, and can then read everything on your phone. And it can do millions of these things within a matter of hours. So you could be hacking all our phones right now as we speak. No, this was the thing that was designed to do, and we found it, and there it is.
It wasn't there was doing something secretly. But last week, it was doing something secretly. When these AI agents, you know, open AI started attacking the competition, just find out what was going on in their servers. And that was done very secretly by the AI agents, not on the orders of the people who were working at open AI. So Cuxen is accusing the labs of gambling with our lives, and then even Hubingur, who runs the Alignment Science at Anthropically, basically puts all the safety measures in place, and says that he put the odds of AI killing every human, about 10% within a decade. So that's a cheerful, but also terrifying, because we really have no idea what's about to happen with AI, as it becomes sort of its own teacher. You know, the thing that they're creating now with AI is that it's self-propelling. It decides what to do, and it decides what to learn, and how it can improve things, and it sort of becomes a runaway technology,
unlike anything we've seen before. I ever see the movie I wrote about Wiltsmith when Wiltsmith was cool. Yes. Yeah, yeah, same thing. So it's amazing how prescient that movie is actually, you think about it. Is that number that you just pointed out that the safety engineer, the lead safety engineer at Anthropic gave you, is a big fucking number. 10% is a big number. 10% chance. These are the smartest people in the world, they understand the law of algorithms, understand the law of physics, understand probability more than all of us. And to give that number 10%, what does that look like? Go watch I-Robot. It's the most simple thing I could, the most simple way I could explain it to you, is that AI determines that if the humankind, to save humankind, you have to exterminate certain amount of people, to save the planet, which is the most important thing, and if it's that autonomous, as you pointed out, I think that might have been the word you're looking for. It will continue to learn itself. These large language models will continue to learn themselves on how to protect people,
or how to protect the environment, or how to do what someone wants you to do. But then it'll take that ball, and it'll turn itself into 50 different iterations until it arrives at the final solution, not to bring up more Hitler, but it's a little bit of a rise in that final solution. And that's what they're talking about. That number should scare the shit out everybody. 10%. It does scare the shit out of me. I can't believe it. I love AI. I use it all the time. And to think that what we're doing is really enabling a machine that can ultimately make us extinct. Maybe there's some value in AI being as pressing as it is, and thinking ahead, and being as smart as it is, but it's not really at the cost of humanity. I mean, we would never put that high, maybe some people would, but it seems shocking that this thing has been allowed to run away without any sort of protection on regulatory framework. This was Donald Trump just the other week talking about this. I'll say the worst. Sorry. Here we go. Sorry. It'll come. It's the robots.
The machinery learns to obviously think for itself. That's what it does. And that could turn against humanity. Do we have the guard rails? It's going to be fine. We'll always have something to stop them, right? We'll have a little gear. I really hope so. I don't like that. I really don't like that robot. We'll stop. That's not good enough, really, when you think about it. That's what he's thinking is, is that's, he's, that's the official government policy on how we're going to stop AI from killing all humans is we'll always have something. Quote unquote says Donald Trump. I mean, that's not going to be the case. Now, of course, no, he doesn't understand AI. He doesn't always fucking talk about it. He has no clue what he's talking about. And Donald Trump is an avarer liar. You got to remember everything you fucking, every word that comes out of his mouth is a fucking lie. And much like, you know, COVID was going to be fine. We're going to have one or two people get sick. No big deal. I'm here. We're going to get rid of it. He just puts some cameras underneath the skin.
Six of bleach up here. Asking me, it's going to be fine. He doesn't know. He's making it up. He's making it up. The smartest fucking people in the world. That work at places like Anthropic, which is the most morally upstanding. AI company that exists right now, most character driven, the most honest AI company right now. They're warning him. And he's saying, we've got to gear. What gear? We don't have anything to do with it. You don't fucking know. You don't have to. You've got no gears. You don't even know what you're talking about. All he cares about is being able to own pieces of all of these properties. Make money off them. He doesn't give a fuck who dies. He doesn't give a shit about that 10% raise. He doesn't give a shit about people. I don't think even minds. If all humanity is wiped out as long as he survives. Yeah. I mean, that's sort of really where his head is at. Incredible story. People need to follow it. I've written about it on narrative.org, but this should not go away. Obviously, we need to start pushing this as a big issue. And as people start thinking about what they can do about it in this election,
it does lead you into those data centers. And whether that is really the way that Americans are going to speak their mind about their fear around AI and about the acceleration rate of AI. Because without those data centers, it's hard to see how AI continues its path as it is on right now. Hey folks, I know everybody hates data centers. I fucking hate data centers too. They're an environmental disaster, all that other stuff. They're loud. They're terrible for communities. They're incredibly fucking expensive. No matter what they say. It takes an incredible amount of fucking water, fresh water, to cool these data centers, to keep them operational. But what Donald Trump is trying to do, he's not trying to put up data centers because, I think it's going to be great and I'm involved in a bunch of deals, which he is. He's doing it because he doesn't care how many fucking people die. As long as he gets what he wants out of this. Exactly. Anything for those people, because those are the people that are funding his attempt to stay out of jail
and stay in the oval office. That's very fucking important for you to remember. The number three story in the countdown today. Trump gave three of his aides, all female $45,000 each in cash. Natalie Harp, Chamberlain Harris and Margot Martin, each disclosed it on their official forms. Cash gift for holidays is how Donald Trump was described as this. Sorry, it's how they described the gift from Donald Trump on the White House financial forms. The Washington Post found them and then published it this morning. Each assistant here earns about $150,000 as a salary every year. So for them to get a 30% bonus of a Christmas from the president directly, not from the government, is something else. 45,000 is quite a number. But what's really interesting is that all these women are sort of young attractive women. I mean, it's not like other people got it. It's Natalie Harp over here and it's up on the screens. Everybody knows who Natalie is. You know, Natalie is, you know, clearly a fucking crazy.
But you know, she is his mainstay right now. I don't know what's the caller. A side piece. I don't know. She's there with him every step of the way. This is the other person. I think this is Chamberlain. Chamberlain Harris, who is his assistant, Chamberlain Harris recently became one of the people involved in the oversight for the reconstruction of the White House. I don't think she would know anything about it. But apparently, you know, she is the right person for the job because she knows what the president wants. And then there's this woman who I haven't heard about before. But she is, her name is Margot Martin. She's the person who basically follows the president around and shoots all his social media and then releases it online. So it's all very intimate personal social media of the president, but not any of the bad stuff. Only the good stuff. And so each of these three, which are pretty young women, let's just say, got $45,000 in cash for the president to help over the holidays.
The other person that got some money from the president is Mr. Nowt who you described as he's, I think a guy who changes his diapers. Yeah, well not, he's his diet coke diaper. Yeah, he got $20,000, but he didn't get $45,000. The ladies, they got $45,000, he got $20,000. I don't know what to make of all of this because I don't do Trump math, but maybe you can explain it. All three women are his mega horse. Right, that's what it looks like. What do you, what do you, what do you give in these, we might use your all young two out of three of them or someone attractive. I mean, you know, that knew he that's so much. Attractive, come on. Why the long face. Come on. The fair. She's very lovely looking. I like this. Looks great. No, she doesn't. Anyway, she's like, she's someone stable to squirreled her forehead for eyebrows. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, do that kind of stuff here. I know I know I know I'm not doing these are people that are working for a fucking rapist willingly.
They deserve zero fucking corn. I don't care if they're men, I don't care if they're women. I will abuse that privilege to know and and all of these women are mega horse. Like, well, not as a mega horse. Like every single person that that that that sits at the feet of this fucking convicted rapist to this fucking pedophile, this con man, this fascist. And here's the thing. He grooms these women. Yeah. He, this is no different than what he did with the Epstein's. This is no different than what he did with with with Jeffrey and Gilaen. This is no different than anything he's ever done. All of these women are young women and it's gross and disgusting. It's fucking wild. And it's if he's abused their privilege fine. If these people are just fucking, you know, Christian nationalists, morons, don't know the difference between a rapist and a non rapist, that's not fucking fine. That's not fine. And Donald Trump, like, yes, I, is Natalie Harp is mentally ill. Is she mentally ill? Is she a very well trained propaganda? I don't know. I don't know. She's been writing love letters to presidents.
She was 16 years old. Yeah. Did you not read the fucking letter that she sent Trump a couple of weeks, a couple of months ago? That they published. She's like, are you at every right to cuss at me? I love you. I never want anything to come between us. I'm sorry if I embarrassed you when I was running like a crazy woman behind your golf car. Like, she's insane. These are mega horrors. That's why he gave the money. Yeah. His little hookers. Yeah. She's, she's very skilled at being a propagandist. I would say that. I, if you follow her career through OAN and all the things that she's done, she's very much a trained propaganda. She's a trained propaganda to create these scenarios in the media and she did it. She's a, she's not, she's, she's in a fucking scene. I'm just saying, she makes her, makes her a good propagandist. She is, she is that. She'll do anything for him. She'll do anything. She's also the thing that feeds his worldview. I mean, everything that he gets in front of her is chosen by her. So if she's got these beliefs or these crazy ideas that she seems to have, or she's just doing the work for foreign governments or whatever and she's handing it at him,
well, that's, that's how he gets his worldview. That's how he responds in the way that he has in all these crazy things. But $45,000 is not bad. Also completely unethical, probably illegal. And no one's going to do anything about it. Oh, yeah, that. There's no one cares. Oh, yeah. It's also completely illegal and ethical. But I go back to this all the time. Everybody's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You know, let's, let's talk about the 45 grand. I'm, I'm still back at all the raping. Yeah, yeah, raping is a problem. That's where it starts. Yeah. The number two story on the countdown. The Canada tariff war is continuing. So we can't put $27.6 billion of counter tariffs into force on Tuesday morning, 50% on American steel, aluminum, aluminum and furniture. Trump signed five proclamations Tuesday evening banning Canadian alcohol, motorcycles over 800 CC and way from 29th September. This is way protein. So not any cheese that was not included in any of the thing. No maple syrup is there. But you know, these motorbikes, hardy David, since I believe.
Well, they took off. They took the tariff off the food. You're shant tariff on the on toilet paper, by the way, because they need toilet paper. Yeah, they do need to should tickets. But we are in it. We are in a fully functional trade war with our most closest ally. And it's not going to end. It's just the way it is right now. We're officially going to stay here for a long time. Now, it's remarkable to me that a president like this would start a trade war in the middle of an oil crisis that he seemed gas prices or the crude oil prices up at $100 a barrel. And gas prices up to $5 and above. It's stunning that he would do something else that is so economically harmful to his population, to his voters, to the people he's meant to support him on the way to an election. Like it just makes, it's almost like, you know, it's self sabotage to the point of the nth degree, which maybe is the design. You know, to understand these proclamations that he put out, you have to understand that he's already maxed out the tariff act of 1930, the section 338.
He's maxed out the law. The law says you can use it up to 50% on certain things, hard ceiling, not 51, not 100%. 50. So he's used all 50% on July 20th and then he blinked suspended for three days in August, claimed that we'd expressed commitment to fold. Carney didn't fold. So we let it take effect August 22nd when we matched $1 for dollar. The only thing section 338 lets the president do is ban the product outright. And that's what he did. But what did he ban? Okay. Fascinating. What did he ban? Motorcycles. We don't make them. We don't make motorcycles. We make trikes, can't have makes trikes, but those were not banned. What else did he ban under that motor vehicles thing? Swimming pools, antlers, down feathers, honey. Down feathers. Yeah. Down feathers. We have great down feathers here. Incredible. We'll sell them to other people. Everybody knows down. Video game consoles and Christmas decorations. It's going to take like Christmas decorations.
Yeah. Yeah. He's banning those. The booze ban. Let's talk about that. The whiskey ban. We've already pulled all American liquor off the shelves back in 2025. It's a real bone of contention. US alcohol exports to Canada. They dropped by like 80%. Every province, I'll burn it to scratch. It still has the ban. His answer. We're going to ban beer, wine, cider, whiskey and vodka from entering the United States. It doesn't hurt us. It doesn't hurt us. American bars support Crown World. They're going to pay more for that. They don't go shit. And here's the other thing. A lot of the booze that we have in Canada is actually made in the United States as well. And so the LCBO is not going to be in Ontario. That's who sells our liquor. They don't give a shit. Alcohol distributors and producers in Canada. They don't give a shit. And the other things they ban were ridiculous. Like mattresses, molasses, not syrup. Pretty fucking important. And they did this strategically to tell Americans, look at us for fighting back. This is the most performative fucking bullshit flex. That means absolutely nothing to this trade war.
And the sad part is I'm watching mainstream media outlets run with this whole narrative. Like, why is he doing this? He's really turning the screws. It's nothing. He tariffed wigs and ice cream sticks. Like he didn't tariff pot ash. He didn't tariff critical minerals. He didn't tariff fish, steel, aluminum. That's all taken care of. And so, you know, the one thing that he goes on and on about is the dairy thing. The United States has never been able to meet their dairy quota in due Canada. Yeah. And so it was like that whole fucking thing is performed. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter Canada. Doesn't matter us. Are things going to be a little more expensive here? Yeah, but we're so fucking excited for this. And then watching him perform to go, yeah, look, look, look, we're going to do. And what he does is completely pointless like this. And it's completely pointless. Totally. It's hilarious. It's hilarious, but the trade war is not pointless. The trade war is going to be hurting Americans because they're paying for everything that's coming into America from Canada. They're paying the extra duties and the extra tariffs that's going to hurt every American.
There's just no two ways about it. Now, why would you do that at the same time as you are seeing oil stocks climb and the crude price benchmark reaching $100 a barrel? It doesn't make any sense to do these things at the same time. If you were any normal rational leader, even if you were a irrational leader, you wouldn't take, you know, you wouldn't take another hit to the body when you've already sustaining one on the other side. But here he is willingly doing that. And that makes me think, what the hell is he doing to the American economy? I mean, there's just, there seems not just performative. It seems like intentional weakening of the American economy. It seems like he's intentionally trying to destroy the US dollar. He's intentionally trying to force all our allies to turn away from us so that he can destroy the economy. And then he can institute crypto or whatever he decides to put on the afterwards. Yeah, you've done some amazing work in that space. And that's absolutely, I believe part of this replacing the Fed with crypto. But you asked a question, star, why is he doing this?
Donald Trump, the only thing that matters to Donald Trump is having people believe or giving people a perception that he's winning. That's the only thing that matters to him. He doesn't care who it hurts. Go back to that whole original statement we made at the beginning. Donald Trump fucking hates you. He doesn't care about you. He's got one foot in the crypto market because he wants to be the person that controls how money flows in and around the world. He wants unfettered access to different markets. He wants to be able to continue to steal, continue to bribe, continue to get whatever he wants out of different countries. And how you do that is you do that through crypto. You do it through Bitcoin. No one can trace that shit. And you know, one of the things that happened last week, which not a lot of people talked about, is Donald Trump and his world liberty financial through his own government. We're given the green light to start their own fucking bank. Their own bank. I mean,
Well, he's going to need it, right? When he's the only stable currency that is allowed to be used in America because he designed the legislation that way. Boy, it's going to make sense for him to have a bank because you're going to need the Trump bank to be able to sell all your crypto through. Yeah, it's quite sad. No, but one story in the countdown today. US forces sank five Iranian tankers on Tuesday. It's because the Iranians had apparently struck a US Navy ship in three days, struck two. They said untrue, according to the central command. But all of this has re-regnied attention in the Iranian Middle East war. We were seen last night. There were attacks in Jordan, a huge amount of missiles, some of the new missiles that Iran has created in the recent past. All targeting US bases in Jordan. We've not heard if there were any real casualties out of that. Or there's some people suspect that there was. And now we're waiting to see what the next step is.
It seems today that the Iranians are claiming to have attacked US Navy ships again. And it looks like there'll be some sort of retaliation. There's also a huge refinery currently on firing Saudi Arabia that was basically ignited by the rebels in Yemen. So it's quite a, something that isn't a war. Dean, this is looking like a war. Yeah, it's a war. Yeah, it never ended. Doesn't matter what Trump says. You know, like, who was it that I was talking to the other day? There isn't a base in the Middle East that works for the United States anymore. Did you know that? There was no base. With a Jordanian base that was hit wasn't that. It's it's it's it's being obliterated on daily basis. Yeah. They didn't seem to run out of any of the intercepting missiles. They just didn't let they didn't launch any to deal with the final volley that came in from Iran. The first few there were acceptors.
And then second few that were not. It's 60 Patriot. A while. We're not just based 60 that were still protecting that base. And just just to let you know. They don't have any left. I mean, they're they're done. They're finished. They don't have a functional, you know, US Army base. For resupply or to house soldiers or to conduct the business of the United States and democracy in and around Gulf States to support their allies. They are gone. They are physically gone and the one that they keep pounding in Jordan is the only one. And now you're hearing Hegseth and the dumbest people in the Pentagon go, you know, we're just going to pull out of the Middle East. This is again, you talked about why they why are they doing this? You know, there is nothing that Donald Trump wants more than to appease the people that put him in office. And Vladimir Putin is that guy. Benjamin not Netanyahu is that guy, right? He's that guy. They're those guys.
And when you consider the, you know, not just how ineffective an ineffectual Pete Hegseth is in planning in protecting in doing what is what is job demands of him. The Othety took when he became the Secretary of Defense and then changed the name to the Secretary of War and then went on this this religious fucking crusade to destroy world peace. And the name of Jesus Christ and his fucked up pastor Doug Wilson, the Christian nationalist who hates Muslims with a passion almost as much as hates Catholics. It's a whole other story. This is this is intentional. This is intentional in as much as it is in components. And there's no one happier that that the US will have no influence in that region than Russia. And not only have they lost, they continue to lose. And then Donald Trump will tell you the wars won 66 different times. Steve Schmidt wrote a great piece about this the other day. 66 different times Donald Trump has said he is won the war in Iran. It's over.
He was asked about it in front of Marine one today. And he's like, I'm not that interested in it anymore. It's not about he's interested in not is it? No. Is he running? No. Is he running? Is he signaling that they're planning to escalate? They're continuing to develop new weapons. They intend to escalate their attacks on US targets. And they intend to revenge. What was the murder of their leader? You know, this is not something that's going to disappear just because Donald Trump wants to wave it off. No matter how much he wants to wave it off. No, it's not. This is the state. I go back to the show of time because we're going to be in the war. I go back to this all the time because we litigate all the ridiculousness here on the five stack, five biggest stories of the day. We try to help you understand and paint a picture. But then we also try to pivot to hope a little bit of hope. Is that by every stretch of the imagination this prick is going to get wiped out. And mega is going to get.
Mega is going to get beaten to death by the American people. And whether you believe it or not does a matter. You have one job coming up these midterms to vote for anybody but him. To vote for anybody but them to vote for anything other than this. Anything. And I mean that from bottom of my heart. Yeah. I am not a card-carrying member of any party. I have voted for all kinds of different people because I vote based on character and merit. You know, to the words match the works. Do they want a better republic? Are they in it for the people because it is the right thing to do is that you're sworn duty to protect the people you want to. You want to lead. Right. And you're watching that with Mark Carney. You know, he is. As is honest dealer as there is. He's as principle to dealer as there is. And he is the most. And I mean this. He is the most important man. The most important leader in Canada is now the most important brand in the world.
Not names Alinsky and not named Ukraine. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart. And. And these these between these tariffs in between this this military adventurism and war of choice in Iran. And the distractions that they're trying to bring up to run away from the Epstein files. The bankruptcy of the United States of America nearing $41 trillion in debt. The energy cliff they're running off of. I don't think that people understand the urgency. And I want to go back to that that trip to Germany that I took. What did I come back knowing? I came back knowing how long it's going to take for you to get your country back for sure. But I came back with a sense of urgency. There's a real fucking sense of urgency here. And in the next 50 odd days. And I'm not angry. I'm not. I'm resolved. It's like I've got an inner piece. I think because I happen to know what's going to happen. I believe I know what's going to happen. Come the midterms.
Is Donald Trump is going to be turned into a political unit. If you do your job. MAGA will become one of those movements that you throw on the heap of authoritarianism, the likes of Nazism, and America will get its soul back. It will. And then you're going to see some prosecutions. You're going to see certain laws codified. But there's a real sense of urgency right now. For America to take control. Take it back. There are so many more of you than them. And that's what the Germans didn't understand. That's what the German people didn't understand. That's what the citizens in the town of Dachau ignored. And what did they say? They said, I will, effectively there are two sayings in Germany in and around Dachau that lent themselves to if you're quiet, you will not go to Dachau. If you ignore it, you will not go to Dachau.
You can't be quiet anymore. And you can't ignore it anymore. The warning signs are too loud. The sirens are 11 out of 10. 11 out of 10, everything we've talked about today. But I have faith in the people of the United States of America. I have faith in better America. You're gonna show your beautiful soul. And you got 50 odd days to do it. So get to it. Well said, Dean Blondell from Dean Blondell. That's substack.com. Welcome back to Canada. Hello, that's what you've got on the website right now, including your incredible series about your trip to Germany. Yeah, the How Long Does It Take series. It's four or five parts. I'm gonna package that up for everybody later on today so you can kind of read it all. Appreciate the incredible support. I mean, it made my trip worth it knowing that so many people latched onto not only how long it takes, but that sense of urgency. And the education that I got, that's Steve and I got, that our son's got. And we wanted to create lasting memories,
but lasting memories that made our sons part of the solution that helped you understand what's at stake. So that's of course at Dean Blondell.substack.com. You can also read about Trump's, this is incredible. How you turn America's 250th birthday into the biggest voter data heist in US history. Mark Carney's fireside chat the other day where he eviscerated Trump in a very Canadian way. You need to go and watch that as well. And as we're, you know, what two days away, there were two days away from the 25th anniversary of 9-11. Watching Trump invent stories. Well, how he was pulled out of the rubble and he went down there with a hundred or so people and he almost had a building collapse on him. None of that is true. Canadians were there day one. Hundreds of them stayed for months, some for years. Donald Trump did nothing. Donald Trump stole $150,000 from funds that were meant and grants that were meant for survivors of 9-11. Trump toured the perimeter,
had a couple photo ops with a camera crew and then never went back again. So when you go to Dean Blondell.substack.com, you're gonna see how all this feeds into each other. It's all corruption. It is all a lie. Canada stands firm with America. And you again, reiterated you need to get in front of this and take your country back before 1924, turns into 1933. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Would you have forest over at narrative.org, my friend? There's a lot of interesting stuff today. One of them is the AI doom and gloom. You know, is the AI gonna kill us all article and also looking into these phone hacks. You know, can AI really hack millions of phones in just a few hours? And what does that mean for the rest of us who think we have some sort of privacy in a world where it's slowly disappearing? So we'll take a look at that and what the anthropic researcher said about why he's leaving AI and leaving anthropic. We also look at BB Netanyahu's threats to Harit's newspaper. There's this incredible investigation done by Harit's yesterday,
which revealed that BB Netanyahu had been given a warning by the crown prince of the UAE in the weeks before October 7th and that he chose to ignore it. He chose to not do anything about it. Many of us have suspected that was the case for a very long time. But the fact that Harit's now his proof of that is quite amazing. It also suggests that BB's got a long struggle to maintain power as they head into an election in Israel right now. He's struggling to hold onto his majority and it seems like this report is going to make things much, much more difficult for him. It's really a worthwhile time to look at that story because of course BB is part of the triumvirate there, Putin, BB and Trump. If one of them falls, it certainly makes the rest much more shaky. And we look at the ban on whiskey and other things. Plus we're working on the next three and final three chapters of the greatest ice book, too, because we find a whole lot of new information about what really happened in 2008. And you won't believe who it is that Epstein was acting
on behalf of and we'll only reveal that when we publish that into next week or so. Juicy. Yes. Excited. Excited for that. I need to go back to bed now, I think. If I'm struggling today. Yeah, yeah.
