Guests - Steve Christy, Shannon Blake, Tony Cahn, Chris Salcedo, Joel Strabala Pima County's recent election has sparked significant concerns, prompting the Board of Supervisors to schedule a meeting with the county recorder and elections director. Supervisor Steve Christy, representing District 4 as the sole Republican on the board, highlighted issues raised by constituents, particularly regarding the outer envelope used for ballots. Major Shannon Blake, U.S. Army retired and founder of Warrior SOAR (Support Outreach Assistance Recovery), shared how the organization combats veteran suicide through activity-based programs. After 20 years of service and medical retirement, Blake felt lost until other groups aided his recovery. Fundraising for them evolved into Warrior SOAR in 2017, driven by combat buddies' suicides. Tony Cahn of Waveland Events partners with Warrior SOAR for baseball camps. Meeting Blake at a Boston Red Sox camp led to collaborations, including Northside Baseball Fantasy Camp for Cubs fans. "We live as ball players for a week," Cahn said, with Hall of Famers coaching. Chris Salcedo, Newsmax host and author of The Rise of the Liberty Loving Latino: A New American Revolution, analyzed recent elections. Democrats won in blue states, but without a "blue wave." Victors included those funded by China ties, wishing harm on opponents, and a Marxist now overseeing New York commerce. Republicans faltered without Trump and America First. Joel Strabala, retired Air Force veteran, detailed his career: 1980 Air Force Academy graduate, active duty until 1992. Pilot training at Williams AFB, F-4 and F-4G Wild Weasel at George AFB, then Germany. Served as air liaison officer, flew F-15E in Desert Storm.
