The New Yorker Radio Hour is a co-production of WNYC and The New Yorker. Welcome to the New Yorker Radio Hour. I'm David Remnick. There will be a variety of celebrations to honor America's 250th anniversary this year, and much of it can be easily anticipated. Plenty of fireworks, buildings bathed in red, white, and blue lights.

Even a military parade. But something else is happening. Something that probably would not be happening if anyone other than Donald Trump was in the White House. It sounds crazy. I know it's going to be very high security and high stress and weird to have a fight at the White House in the middle of a fucking war.

But I would hope the the the war will be sorted out by June, but Quite honestly, I'm not confident that that's going to be the case. No. Yeah, no. Yeah, so that would be weird.
