now the rise of the afd in fact you spent time in germany you even attended at least one of

their rallies you did a deep dive that's on the atlantic site now a must read tell us a little bit

about what you learn there and it in the parties new and growing role in that country and the

main thing i learned was that the afd was aiming its fire at the CDU, at the center

I mean, the AFD was saying the center right, which just won this election, has to be destroyed,

totally dismantled, that they invoked Trump, they invoked Elon Musk, and they said they led

the way.

They destroyed the GOP as it existed before, and we're going to do the same thing to the CDU.

Now, the CDU having won, it looks like a victory for them, but the AFD also measures their victories in different ways, too.

So getting one in five German voters for them was a huge victory because it meant that they couldn't be ignored in the future.

So what they might be shut out of government, they're very likely to be ignored in the future. So what they might be

shut out of government, they're very likely to be shut out of government. But what they were

afraid of was that they would have a showing that would be poor enough that they could actually

be banned as a party, be investigated by law enforcement. And what they've got is a showing that

makes it impossible for them to be completely ignored politically.

Apple is investing in the U.S.
