is that if you look at the past 47 years of history, which Trump and Rubio are frequently invoking, there's a part of it that actually Americans should understand, which is that if there's any country in the world that knows how to survive under sort of the threat of American or Israeli attack, under really punishing sanctions, and has to deal with how do you feed the people and maintain power, your grip on power,

in these kinds of intense circumstances, it's Iran.

It's the Islamic Republic of Iran.

So, you know, our reporting consistently has shown that the Iranians are not in a state of panic.

And they were saying even before this, you know, very important Washington Post piece came out, everything that was in that post piece, we can survive for months.

They're exaggerating the extent to the damage to our ballistic missiles.

And they're going to continue to find out if they keep attacking us, because every time they say we're decimated, we turn around and strike again.

And sometimes we do it even harder.

First time on a Friday.

Really nice to be with you guys.

Thanks, Jeremy.

Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy?

Not quite.

On Humor Me with Robert Smigel and Friends, me and hilarious guests from Jim Gaffigan to Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier.

This week, my guests, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel help an acapella band with their between songs banter.

Who's the worst singer in the group?

The worst?

Yeah.

Me.

Is there anything to the idea that because you're from Harvard, you only got in because your parents made a huge donation to the group?
