Ep XXX: “What I SHOULD Have Said on Fox News”
This episode is only available to subscribers.
Ones Ready MBRS Only
Exclusive access to bonus episodes!Aaron goes solo—and finally says what he didn’t have time to say on national TV.
After getting pulled onto Fox News, Newsmax, and News Nation, he had a narrow window to talk about one of the most complex operations in recent memory… and it wasn’t enough.
So here’s the full version. No time limits. No interruptions.
This isn’t about one team or one headline. It’s about the entire machine—pilots, PJs, maintainers, intel, logistics, medical, and the countless people behind the scenes who made the mission possible.
Aaron makes it clear: when everything went sideways, it wasn’t luck that saved the day—it was preparation, professionalism, and a system that worked exactly how it was supposed to.
And if you’re hung up on who didn’t get mentioned? You missed the entire point.
