Retired Brigadier General Steven Mundt on the F-15E Rescue in Iran, Easter Symbolism, and Strategic Decoupling from the CCP
Retired Brigadier General Steven Mundt joins to break down the F-15E rescue operation in Iran over the Easter weekend. He details how the pilot and weapons systems officer ejected after the aircraft was hit by a shoulder-fired missile advanced by Russian technology. "They were flying low. They were doing what they were supposed to be doing. And unfortunately, that airplane got hit." Mundt praises the coordinated effort involving A-10 Warthogs providing suppressive fire, Jolly Green Giant helicopters, and special operations forces. "The bottom line is they get there. They get them."
He highlights the symbolism of the rescue occurring from Good Friday to Easter Sunday, with the pilot's message "God is good" confirming his identity to family and rescuers. "If he ejected and is safe on the ground, that's exactly what he would say." Mundt explains the broader context, noting Iran's use as a CCP proxy with 80-90% of its military capabilities supplied by China, including drone technology and chips. "The CCP has been cultivating the Middle East proxy in the region for decades... So they use Iran as a front."
Mundt stresses the need for quick resolution to avoid prolonged economic strain benefiting the CCP through oil disruptions and alternative currency pushes. He warns of vulnerabilities like the Strait of Malacca and hidden oil reserves near Shanghai. "The longer the war dragged out, the worst for the United States." On decoupling, he advocates targeting the regime's financial and energy lifelines. "The end is when the CCP is gone... Without CCP, Iran or ICG will fall."
Rodney Glassman on the Attorney General Race, Enforcing Election Laws, and Supporting the Trump Agenda
Rodney Glassman, candidate for Arizona Attorney General, outlines his commitment to enforcing laws and supporting President Trump's agenda. He criticizes incumbent Kris Mayes for filing 40 lawsuits against the Trump administration, calling them "clickbait" for fundraising. "She's now sued the Trump administration 40 times in the past 15 months." Glassman pledges to withdraw Arizona from these suits on day one. "On day one, I'll withdraw Arizona from the 40 clickbait lawsuits against the Trump administration."
He emphasizes election integrity, noting Arizona's proof-of-citizenship requirements and the need to prosecute violations like ballot harvesting. "How many of you think that Arizona currently enforces the election laws that are on the books?" Glassman highlights his prosecutorial experience, having served 17 years in the Air Force JAG Corps. "I'm the only Republican running for attorney general who's worked as a prosecutor."
Glassman addresses protecting consumers, businesses, and children, including fighting human trafficking and ensuring biological boys do not compete against girls in sports. He criticizes Mayes for siding with criminals over victims and law enforcement. "An attorney general who hates cops, hates prosecutors... what happens is when these convicted criminals appeal, she may not even fight it."
Laurie Moore on Recall Petition Momentum and Critique of DEI Policies at the Supervisors Meeting
Laurie Moore reports strong grassroots support for the Sheriff Nanos recall, carrying clipboards everywhere and securing sixty signatures in two hours at one event. She plans to approach churches, framing the recall as a community issue affecting all residents. "This is not a political thing—this is a community thing because the sheriff is sheriff for everybody."
Moore criticizes the "No Kings" rallies as astroturf funded by major donors and contrasts them with genuine local energy. She addresses the supervisors meeting, noting diverse public comments on ICE enforcement and the Mexico flag in the lobby under DEI policies. "Based on their DEI practices, it would seem that they would have to put one hundred and ninety three other countries up and not just Mexico."
Joel Strabala on the Supervisors Meeting, Election Laws, and Precinct Committeeman Recruitment
Joel Strabala discusses the Pima County Supervisors meeting, highlighting the illegal attempt to restrict or unmask ICE agents under state and federal law. He warns of fines up to $5,000 per day for violations. "If they violate the law, at least at the state level, they can be fined up to five thousand dollars a day for as long as the ordinance remains in place."
Strabala addresses the lack of approval for appointed precinct committeemen, urging continued recruitment. He notes LD17's progress toward matching last year's numbers and encourages write-ins or appointments. "They can become an appointed PC with all the rights and responsibilities... But they cannot run for state precinct committeemen." Strabala stresses grassroots engagement to strengthen Republican efforts across Pima County.
