America's Frontlines Podcast 29 April 2026

In this episode of America’s Frontlines: Colonel Denny and Skip uncover how Iran’s underground missile “cities” could challenge U.S. airpower—raising urgent questions about modern warfare, deterrence, and whether America’s current strategy is keeping pace with evolving threats. They also break down a rapidly escalating conflict at sea—from advanced U.S. counter-drone capabilities to direct naval confrontations with Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, including the seizure of an Iranian vessel and retaliatory attacks on commercial shipping. It’s a sobering look at how close maritime security may be to a wider regional conflict. As always, Colonel Denny brings his signature humor with a few well-timed one-liners to help keep things grounded. This episode features retired Air Force Brigadier General John Teichert, who shares insights on leadership, history, faith, and the complexities of the current situation in the Middle East. We also bring you our regular look back at key military events from this point in history—because understanding the past sharpens our perspective on the present. Retired Coast Guard Chief Warrant Officer Roland Ashby returns with more of his “Warrant Wisdom.” And it’s time for our Movie of the Month review, as Diane Raver of the Garden State Film Festival joins the team to break down this month’s featured film.
