The Iranian regime is receiving an education of sorts this week, and while we await President Trump's decision on the extent of America's role in busting up the nuclear site at Fordow, the Free Press's Eli Lake (and host of the Breaking History podcast) returns to educate us on why surgical involvement in Iran fits with the "America First" agenda that voters signed up for last November.

Plus, the reunited James, Charles, and Steve talk Skrmetti and Mamdani.

- Sound from this week's open: The Israeli Air Force has a hit on Iranian State Television

Hosted by Charles C. W. Cooke, James Lileks, and Steve Hayward, with guest Eli Lake

    Two weeks to stifle Iran’s ’devine wind’.

    Willie Brown is one of the best interviews in this country. Really good analysis. Probably a really bad person as a politician. Unfortunately, he's the reason we have Kamala Harris.

    That story is exactly why we should drop the abortion argument for at least four presidential cycles. The government can't force anybody to take care of a fetus. Doritos. Beer. Cap'n Crunch. Hate the child because you want to abort it. Anxious about the pregnancy because you want to abort it. All of these things are bad. If you don't like the kid in the third trimester, you can cause it to have attachment issues, which are a real bitch to fix with a psychologist. Just drop it.

    Good song Mr. Lake. Sounds more like Merle from the seventies with “Okie from Muskogee” than Waylon. Just my opinion.
