Summary
First, they take a deep dive into what we know so far about the temporary U.S.-Iran ceasefire, examining whether the deal advances American interests. Jim zeroes in on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's absurd conditions to negotiate, and what national security goals must be achieved before agreeing to anything long term.
Next, they react to Republican Clay Fuller’s win in the Georgia special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene in Congress. Fuller won by nearly 12 points, but since Trump won the district by 37 points in 2024, how much should the narrower results cocern the GOP heading into the midterms?
Then, they wince at the results in Wisconsin, where the Democrat-endorsed judicial candidate cruises to a commanding victory in the state Supreme Court race, further tilting the court’s ideological balance.
Finally, they marvel at the accomplishments of Artemis II as it now returns to Earth.

| 0:16.5 | We have three martinis today. |
| 0:17.9 | The first one's going to take up a huge chunk of the podcast today, |
| 0:21.0 | and I'm guessing you already know which one it is. Jim, let's dive right into it. We got that |
| 0:26.5 | Easter morning tweet about Tuesday is going to be bridge and power plant day and a lot of |
| 0:33.2 | expletives that the president got a lot of grief for. Then yesterday, he sent out the tweet, |
| 0:39.0 | a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I didn't want that to |
| 0:43.3 | happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have complete and total regime change, |
| 0:48.0 | where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something |
| 0:51.0 | revolutionarily wonderful can happen. Who knows? Well, 8 p.m. Eastern Time was the |
| 0:55.9 | deadline last night. And a little bit before 8 p.m. Eastern Time, we got another much longer post |
| 1:01.8 | from the president saying, based on conversations with the prime minister and field marshal of |
| 1:06.4 | Pakistan and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to |
| 1:11.7 | Iran and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to complete, immediate, and safe opening |
| 1:16.9 | of the Strait of Hormuz. |
| 1:18.3 | I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. |
| 1:22.1 | This will be a double-sided ceasefire. |
| 1:24.1 | The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all military objectives |
