It's Wednesday, April 8th.
I'm Jane Koston, and this is What A Day, the show that was really excited that Michigan won the men's basketball
national championship on Monday night.
But that wore off pretty quickly thanks to the president's thinly veiled threat of imminent annihilation of millions of people
written on a social media platform made just for him.
On today's show, we are jumping right into the Iran war and the 11th hour ceasefire
that everyone seems on board with for now.
But let's back up a bit.
President Donald Trump posted a disturbing threat on True Social on Tuesday morning.
If Iran did not meet his demands by 8 p.m. Eastern,
quote, a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.
I don't want that to happen, but it probably will.
He went on to tease the potential attack in words fit for the trailer of a shitty TV show season finale.
But the threat sounded to a lot of Americans like the president was promising to kill millions of people,
decimating the entire nation of Iran in the process.
Especially when Vice President J.D. Vance said this while stumping
for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Budapest on Tuesday.
So they've got to know we've got tools in our toolkit that we so far haven't decided to use.
The President of the United States can decide to use them and he will decide to use them if the Iranians
do n't change their force of conduct.
