Full House this morning. So great to have you all on this Easter Sunday.

Jean, let’s get your reaction to this rescue and the president’s message.

strategic. It’s what we don’t know that is um really so exemplary. The element of surprise is um indigenous with

everything Donald Trump has done and is doing especially in the next 24 hours. Heads

up. Let’s see what happens. But um uh this the technology behind the recovery

is very advanced. As a pilot myself, I know there’s several backup transmission systems uh that were uh that are in

place that allow the pilot to um uh remove himself strategically and move into the hills or the valleys, whichever

the strategy needs to be to allow him or her to um to to be pulled away. The element of surprise, the element of

diversion and deflection is what saved this airman. Yeah. Amazing. I mean, daring, I think,

just sums it up. Dr. Tom, what comes to mind uh when you see this? I mean, this was a search and rescue behind enemy lines.

Well, first of all, what a great uh Easter miracle. First of all, happy Easter. What a great Easter miracle.

Absolutely fantastic. But as as Jean just said, it really reflects the the the immense power and technology that the United States has. It was a combined

effort from what I understand. The CIA had located him. I don’t know CIA did that, but apparently did. and they sent out information. Then we had the special

operation forces come in and rush him. I also believe there were drones around him protecting him. So it was an all point bulletin out there to save this man. And thank God he’s safe.

Yeah. Denine, what are your thoughts?

Well, first of all, I want to thank our servicemen and women. Uh they they’re in harm’s way all the time. We have no idea what goes on behind the scenes. Uh I’m

so happy and thankful that these two uh airmen were rescued. uh we’ll find out what their condition is, but uh the

agenda for this president is to finish the mission and we want our men and women to be safe as this mission carries on.

Of course. Let’s turn to Washington for a minute. Pam Bondi out as attorney general. President Trump confirming the move, thanking Bondie for her service

and saying Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch will take over as the acting AG.

Don, let me get your thoughts on the timing of Bondie’s exit.

Yes, good morning, Bill. First, let me just say this. It wasn’t just drones surrounding that second rescued military

member. That was all of America praying that Jesus Christ would intervene and be a shield of protection on this Easter

Sunday. I do think it’s an Easter miracle. And I think that has to be said were Secretary Pete Hagsth asking for the prayers of the nation. The power of

prayer that matters. As far as Pam Bondi goes, let us not forget that in this administration, particularly and in

America right now, if you are a conservative woman in the media, you have to be perfect, flawless. Look at

the women in this administration. Always under fire, especially conservative women. We all felt it. You think about COVID moms, etc. So with Pam Bondi, the

timing, I look back to that December 16th article. What did Susie Wilds first female chief of staff? What did she say in that very candid vanity fair article?

What did Susie say? She talked about Pam Bondi whiffing and she was very critical

that told me right there last December that Pam Bondi was in trouble. Not because of anything really having to do with the fact she’s a she’s always been

a highly respected prosecutor, but she was a couple weeks on the job when she started making what I’ll call media missteps. What I mean by that, going

back to what I started with, you’ve got to be perfect. You can’t give them any room or any ambiguity where the mainstream media is going to rip into

you. What she should have said all along is no administration, no administration has been this assertive, right? And so

she has been so assertive with going after this and bringing forth justice.

That’s what she needed to say, not make have promises.

Right. Well, Gene, up until recently, we hadn’t really seen many departures from Trump 2.0 with the departures of Christy Gnome and now Pam Bondi. What do you

make of the recent wave, if you want to call it that?

Well, it’s um Trump fashion. It’s the way he operates. It’s the first time we’ve had an elected official uh come

out of the corporate world to manage government. Thank God and holy heaven,

we can pray to that issue on Easter Sunday. The fact of the matter is it should be done more often by politicians. If you’ve made a commitment

to to and a promise to the citizens who hired you, the least you could do is deliver. And if you don’t deliver,

you’ve got to remove soldiers in place that are non-performing. And that’s what he is known and has the has the uh

character and and and reputation of being able to do. Dr. Tom, your thoughts on the timing?

Yeah, you know, uh, as a Trump at the end of the day, he’s a CEO and Denny and I both worked in corporate America. CEOs

always doesn’t hesitate to make a change when you think it needs to be done. It wakes up the entire administration.

Everybody’s on their toes. It’s a really good step. I think Pam Bondi did a solid job protecting Americans. I think we’re at the lowest murder rate in 125 years. So,

we can’t forget about that. Look,

managing a bureaucracy like the DOJ, I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.

Yeah. And worth saying that it was very calm and stable for the first year,

unlike the first term where there was a lot of turnover all the time. So, all right, guys. Thank you, Dr. Tom, Denine Blli, Gene Valentino, Don Sten, Menty.

Appreciate you guys joining us. We’ll see you guys back here on the couch very soon. That’s right. Joining us now for more,

let’s bring in GOP political strategist and insider and host of the Grassroots Truthcast, Gene Valentino, as well as

host of the Don Steneland Show on WPHT in Philadelphia, Don Stenel Mene. We’re also joined all morning by our special

guest, Newsmax contributor Denine Blli and Newsmax contributor Dr. Tom Barlli.

Good morning to all of you. Happy Easter. So many great things to celebrate this morning. What a wonderful Easter Sunday. Gan, what do you make of

the rescue and President Trump’s message there uh about the wounded soldier and everything we’ve seen thus far?

Well, I’m not surprised with the outcome. Um it couldn’t happen on a more glorious day. Uh giving thanks on a day

like today now uh has a bit of a broad broader meaning and we’re so lucky to have this other airman rescued. But it’s

indicative of a superb campaign, a flawless campaign considering the level of activity we’ve been involved in in

the last uh what uh since the first of the last month. It it’s amazing just how

how successful we’ve been. If Iran doesn’t get the message in the next 24 hours, I suspect under Donald Trump’s leadership they will very shortly.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think you’re right. Uh,

President Trump signed an executive order this week aimed at tightening election security, uh, helping to make sure only eligible US citizens are able

to vote in federal elections. And no surprise here, Democrats, of course,

announcing Friday they’re following a lawsuit challenging Trump’s order. Uh,

so Don, let me ask you, I want to get your reaction on the voter ID battle and what we’re seeing play out right now.

Yeah, if you think Bill and Kisha about voter ID and security, I think of recently even DMVs. We’ve seen ICE just

yesterday. We saw at some DMVs in Pennsylvania, for example, they had ICE agents who were making sure that illegal

immigrants, illegal aliens legally and technically that they they went there to get to renew their CDL licenses and they

arrested about three about 33 people in Pennsylvania. So why not? Why wouldn’t we want security with all of these

increased threats and you think about this morning synagogues, you think about churches, increased security,

you know, why why wouldn’t we want to make sure that everybody’s safe at polling places and look how well ICE has done at our local airports here. People

hugging ICE agents as well as TSA agents saying, “Thanks for keeping us safe.

Thanks for moving things along.” What’s wrong with that? Yeah, I was at the airport and I thanked ICE there because you saw how what a difference they made.

Denine, if the order withstands the legal challenges, what is the future of the Save America Act, which the president has strongly pushed Congress to pass?

Well, Democrats are challenging it. I’m I’m shocked. Okay. Uh wasn’t it recently that Mandami wanted ID for people to shovel snow in New York City? I mean,

that’s how ridiculous this whole thing is and what they’re pushing. They’re going to play the race card. They’re playing the woman card. All this nonsense that they’re putting out there,

the propaganda to try to push their agenda. It’s about one person, one vote,

plain and simple, to prevent fraud enduring our elections. And you would think this is a no-brainer for everyday working Americans. A no-brainer.

Totally. Think, Tom. What do you think?

You have to wonder why Democrats don’t want integrity in our election process at every step of the way, whether it be mail and voting, ID, proof of

citizenship. Why do they want to have an open system? I don’t believe any other country, you know, does this sort of mail and voting like we’re doing here in the United States. It’s outrageous.

Apparently, Democrats like to cheat.

The only conclusion I could come up with.

I don’t wonder at all. They know exactly what they’re up to. All right, let’s switch gears over to the DHS shutdown.

President Donald Trump on Friday directing the Department of Homeland Security to pay each and every employee the equivalent of compensation and

benefits lost during the US lawmakers partial shutdown. Uh Gan, let me ask you your reaction to what the president did

and and how does this impact the midterms?

Well, it does impact the midterms positively. It shows America that the three-legged stool or three arms or

branches of government uh were have a tension between them uh to pick up where

the other leaves off. I mean, you’ve got a Supreme Court now that doesn’t know the difference between a man and a woman. And now they’re trying to

adjudicate on things that um that have much more significance like the SAVE Act. Uh I think it’s very critical that

the the president step up and uh help uh TSA during their time of need. It falls in under emergency orders. And frankly,

it’s a disgrace it that the Congress uh and and the judiciary didn’t see this

fact and do otherwise. We shouldn’t be adjudicating this uh obvious issue and holding these poor souls hostage. uh in in our transportation system.

It’s been so unfair to them and to the American public. Denine, I’m curious to get your perspective here on this issue.

How do you You don’t want to know.

Oh, I do. I That’s why I want to ask you, Dean, because I know you have a lot to say on it. How do you think think about the way this has all gone down,

the airports, TSA, and the way in which they’ve been treated? How will it affect the midterms? Congress shouldn’t be on recess now.

Congress shouldn’t be getting paid. In the real world, this does not happen because if it does happen, you are shown the door. You can’t you don’t do your day job, you don’t deserve to be here.

And what they have done to these hardworking Americans, TSA, uh it’s just it’s despicable and it’s outrageous.

It’s also embarrassing. How many times have the Democrats shut down the government because they can’t get their way and for how long? And who gets punished? We the people.

Yeah, great point, Dr. Tom.

No, it’s so true. I mean, this is what’s going on. The How could you be absent from your job and still get paid? This is what’s going on. The American people

should demand that the members be in Congress and do their due diligence. And Democrats, all they want is chaos. At a time where at war with Iran, basically,

what are we doing? We’re not concerned about national security. We’re not concerned about domestic security. The introduction, we just saw that they’re

calling out to attack churches and synagogues. What don’t the Democrats get about that message?

Yeah. Want to shift gears real quick here and we’re headed back to the moon.

Don, let’s get your reaction to the successful launch of Artemis 2 this week. Real quick.

Just so exciting. The pictures they’re sending back are beautiful. Inspiring future generations. You know, my kids,

we have a big family, so kids, grandkids of all ages. U my teenage sons, they’re inspired by that. But what about younger

children seeing this and being inspire just so inspired to go into science and math and someday also going into space

and space exploration. What an exciting time. I’m going to send Tom to the moon.

No, we need him to be being the science nerd on the panel. Yes. Be careful. I’ll vote. You’re getting close. All right. Gene Valentino, John Stencel,

Mente, thank you for joining us. Denine and Tom Blli, don’t go to the moon. We need you back. We’ll see you here shortly.
