Is Bridge and Power Plant Day upon us, and Americans get richer. We'll discuss all this and more on this edition of the editors. I'm rich Lowry, and I'm joined as always by the right, Honorable Charles C.W. Cook, the good neighbor, Noah Rothman, and the sage of authenticity woods. Jim Garrity, you are, of course, listening to a nationality podcast. Our sponsors, this episode are Made in Ver and the University of Austin. More about all of them in due course. And for some reason, you're not already following us on a streaming service, by the way, you can find us everywhere from Spotify to Apple Podcasts. If you like what you hear here, please consider giving us a glowing five-star review. Or if you listen to your podcast, if you don't like what you hear here, please forget. I said anything. So Jim Garrity, we are recording as is our

want in the first episode of the week, around 10 a.m. here on Tuesday. We had probably, I would say

actually almost certainly the most insane wartime communication we've ever heard from

President of the United States on Easter morning when

Trump says he's going to go after the bridges and the power plants and these freaking bastards

need to open up the straight, et cetera, et cetera, praise be to Allah. But then actually outdid himself

this morning with communication about the end of Iranian civilization may be upon us,

so we don't know exactly what's going to happen.

The deadline is supposed to be 8 p.m. tonight, although bridges are being struck in Iran as we

speak. What do you make you with Jim Garrity?

Well, for start, I'm going to do a bit of Charlie comic understatement here.

You don't usually see the President of the United States dropping an F-bomb and praising

Allah in the same message on Easter morning.

That combination is really pretty rare.

Maybe President Mamdami when we get there.

The more significant one, the one that's more troubling is I don't want to ever see the

President of the United States declaring a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be

brought back again.

It's wrath of con level stuff, right?

You know, Emperor Palpatine, whatever, you know, term you want.

Look, we're not, we are at war with the Iranian regime.

We are not at war with the Iranian civilization.
