"We cannot be the world's police force for free."

Mike Broomhead breaks down President Donald Trump’s stance on the Strait of Hormuz: If the U.S. is providing protection in a volatile region, should other countries have to pay for that security?

Broomhead says he understands the principle — but isn’t fully sold on the approach.

"I do argue with the idea that we're gonna charge people for what they should be able to freely do," Broomhead says. "Let's hope this motivates the rest of the world to get on board."

Could a conflict thousands of miles away hit Arizona wallets? @AZMorningNews

🛳️ President Donald Trump says the U.S. is "reinstating" a blockade on Iran in the Strait of Hormuz and wants ships charged for safe passage.

🌵 Why should Arizonans care? The strait is one of the world's most important oil shipping routes — and disruptions there can ripple into gas prices, shipping costs and the broader economy here at home.

Where does Andy Biggs stand on data centers in Arizona?

“No more subsidies and no more special gifts,” Biggs said.

The GOP gubernatorial candidate says data centers should be welcome in Arizona only if they can supply their own power without straining the grid and use closed-loop water systems that don’t drain the state’s resources.

Biggs says companies are still interested because of Arizona’s “tremendous geologic stability.”
