Hey everybody, Tim Miller from the bulwark here.

Happy Easter, Hoppy Easter.

For those of you who watched my stream last week, you can still go watch the tape if you haven't yet.

I bimbified myself to answer the poll question.

My daughter was very happy that the Easter bunny came this morning.

So I appreciate the poll feedback on whether the Easter bunny should come or not.

If you get my drift. She's a happy girl this morning. Hopped up on sugar. I wanted to run

through some news items because there's just too much out there to ignore for the morning.

Obviously, we're going to focus on the deranged, deranged

Easter morning post from the President of the United States. I do just want to highlight the good

news from the ex-ville of the airman who was shot down over Iran. It's going to make for a crazy

movie someday. Apparently, we managed to build an air strip inside Iran.

The pilot evaded capture for, I believe, something around five miles.

He climbed a mountain, activated his homing beacon.

U.S. forces had to fire on a bunch of Iranian forces that were chasing him, tracking him.

Then we got them out.

There were some problems getting them out.

We ended up having to send a second group in.

They exfiltrated him.

We'd blow up our own equipment, which is pretty expensive.

But thank God, the airman is alive.

More from this from Hurtling on just how complicated a plan like this is in the next 24 hours.
