So there's a real market there for an Abby Lewis for sure.

And I think Pierre Paul, yeah, is to some degree having his lunch eaten by a

and potentially down the road, Avi Lewis.

Yeah, look, I'm not the world's biggest monarchist.

You know, probably Chantal is a little bit behind me in the affection for that institution.

But I had been expecting that King Charles was going to go over and do what I thought would be the bidding of the Starmer government, which is to just make nice with Trump, to praise Trump, to acknowledge the greatness of the Trump administration and its

its kind of effect on the world.

And he didn't just not do that.

He kind of did the opposite of it in a way that was sort of consistent with the range of words, verbs, and nouns that you would expect a king to use.

He took a message of the importance of a world order that people could count on, of defense arrangements that people should count on, of concern for the environment that everybody should share.

And

He kind of left the room, I think, feeling either baffled because they didn't really understand what he was saying or accepting of the fact that he was describing some norms that have been lost because of Trump's personal style, if that's the right way to describe it.

And so I think he did the world a solid.

I think he probably helped his country somewhat, although I think that's

it's always hard to bet on any kind of outcome with the Trump administration like that, but he did the world a solid and he probably changed some people's minds about his, his efficacy as a, as the King of England and using that voice in a way that's useful for, for, for people around the world.

I think you'd be more than slightly embarrassed.

Yeah, it was pretty good.

They're not going to burn down the building again.

That was also not bad.

Over to you, Bruce.
