Heidi sat down with retired U.S. Air Force General Robert “Blend’r” Novotny for a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the testing of one of America’s most formidable weapons: the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, and how effectively the Midnight Hammer operation was executed.

With firsthand experience and no political spin, Gen. Novotny walks us through the science, strategy, and sheer power behind this 30,000-pound bunker buster—built to destroy deeply fortified targets with precision. It’s a candid conversation about high-stakes testing, military innovation, and the quiet professionals who make it all work.

No politics. No hype. Just real-deal military insight from a man who was there.
