097 - "A Whole Civilization Will Die Tonight"

Episode 097 of Call the Line is one for the history books — recorded live on April 7th, 2026, because as Jimmy put it, "by the time this would've released, a nuclear bomb might have gone off in the Middle East." And honestly? He wasn't far off.

Jimmy and Alyssa break down the most alarming Truth Social posts Donald Trump has ever written — including a declaration that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" — posted just days after writing "Praise Be to Allah" on Easter Sunday. They dig into what it means when the sitting U.S. president openly uses genocidal language to threaten Iran, why the "it's just a bluff" defense doesn't hold up, and what this has to do with the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices, and Trump's poll numbers.

The phone lines were open the entire show — and almost no MAGA supporters called in to defend it. Almost. John from Illinois finally called in, and things went sideways immediately — interrupting every sentence, debating the definition of "irony," insisting bombing Iran is secretly great for Taiwan, and eventually rage-quitting when the logic collapsed. Then Andrew from New Jersey called in saying he supports the war "100%" before admitting he can't afford health insurance. Then a 27-year-old from Texas says he's just "agnostic" on whether we should destroy a civilization and wait to see the results.

Alyssa also shares news of a MAGA relative posting on Facebook, brings emotional perspective on a friend whose family lives in Iran and can't even be reached due to internet outages, calls out Meghan Kelly for staying on her knees for a man who mocked her menstrual cycle on national television, and opens a birthday present on air — a "Stay Salty" Morton Salt girl sticker (iconic).
