Tucson’s Conservative Talk

Constitutional trainer Jeff Utsch, who teaches the founding documents to military audiences nationwide, joined Winn in the first hour with a blunt assessment.

“The legislative branch is supposed to be the most powerful branch,” Utsch declared, citing Federalist 51 and Article I, Section 8. “Yet today it has become the weakest. We have allowed Senate rules—specifically the 60-vote cloture threshold—to neuter the very branch the Founders intentionally made preeminent.”

Retired Brigadier General Stephen Mundt followed with updates from the defense world and a sharp rebuke of recent Democratic rhetoric.

In the final hour, Ava Chen of the New Federal State of China tied every thread together.

“The CCP does not want Russia to make peace in Ukraine,” Chen stated flatly. “A negotiated settlement frees American attention and resources for the Pacific—that is the last thing Beijing wants.”

Tucson conservative radio host Kathleen Winn opened Tuesday’s *Winn Tucson* broadcast on 1030 The Voice with a fiery takedown of Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, accusing the retired Navy captain and astronaut of undermining the President and the chain of command in a controversial video featuring six Democratic lawmakers urging military members not to follow “unlawful orders.”

Winn enthusiastically welcomed George Khalaf, president of Data Orbital polling and a longtime conservative activist, who formally announced his campaign for the open Arizona House seat in Legislative District 3 (Scottsdale/Fountain Hills area).

Kelly Walker, founder (with Sam Sorbo) of Parents Demanding Justice Alliance, called in from Tennessee with an update on the nationwide campaign to expose Biden-era persecution of parents.

On the Friday before Thanksgiving, Kathleen Winn opened her Winn Tucson show with a stark warning: a major Cloudflare outage earlier that week knocked out roughly 20% of the world's websites, including many of the large language models millions now rely on daily. Winn brought back Chris Hoar, disaster response and telecom national security spokesperson for SAT123, to explain why these recurring incidents are more than inconveniences — they are flashing red warnings about single points of failure in America's critical infrastructure.

Winn shifted to local election integrity with guests Dave Smith and later Joel Strabala, both furious about Pima County Recorder Gabriela Cáceres-Kelly's handling of the November city election.

Winn welcomed Mark Burrell, freshly elected to the Mason, Ohio city council after a 41-year career at Procter & Gamble. An engineer by training and author of two books on America's founding, Burrell squeaked into fourth place in a non-partisan race for four seats.

**Kathleen Winn** – November 20, 2025

Tucson awoke to rare, steady rain, and the mood on *Winn Tucson* matched the weather: urgent, unfiltered, and unapologetic. Host Kathleen Winn, alongside two powerhouse guests — National Police Association spokesperson **Betsy Brantner Smith** and retired U.S. Army Brigadier General **Stephen Mundt** — delivered a two-hour masterclass on the issues dominating southern Arizona and the nation: violent crime spilling into homes, open-border fallout, holiday safety, and the dangerous rhetoric now aimed at America’s military.

The centerpiece of the first hour was a November 10, 2025 Daily Caller article that branded Hugh a “China intel-linked fraudster” because he owns a modest mobile-home park near a U.S. Air Force base that houses B-2 bombers.

Ava Chen called the piece “a textbook CCP political-warfare operation disguised as American investigative journalism.”

In the second hour, Ava Chen walked listeners through the CCP’s doctrine of “Three Warfares”

In a wide-ranging discussion on local infrastructure, retired Army Brigadier General Ted Maxwell joined host Kathleen Winn to break down what Pima County voters will face on March 10, 2026, when Propositions 418 and 419 appear on a special election ballot.
