Tucson’s Conservative Talk

In a fiery Friday broadcast of Winn Tucson on 1030 The Voice, host Kathleen Winn brought listeners a rapid-fire mix of breaking national-security developments, local tax fights, and deep dives into family, faith, and election integrity. Guests Lisa Von Geldern, J.P. De Gance of Communio, and election-litigation attorney Neal Cornett joined Winn for a no-holds-barred discussion that ranged from alleged U.S. military operations in Venezuela to the battle over voter observers in Pima County.

Filmmaker Michael Pack joined Kathleen Winn to reflect on his documentary The Last 600 Meters, which chronicles two pivotal battles of the Iraq War in Najaf and Fallujah. Pack shared positive reception from screenings, including a moving reunion in Washington, D.C., just before Veterans Day.

Pam Neal, chair of the 2026 Southern Arizona Heart and Stroke Ball, discussed efforts to provide CPR kits, training, and AED machines to schools across six counties: Pima, Cochise, Santa Cruz, Yuma, Greenlee, and Graham.

Cheryl Caswell, Republican candidate for Arizona House in LD19, announced she has already doubled the required petition signatures months ahead of the April 2026 deadline. Spanning five counties from Pima to the New Mexico line, LD19 voters consistently raise concerns about border security, rising crime linked to fentanyl, homelessness, and election integrity.

On a crisp Wednesday morning in Tucson, the radio waves carried urgent warnings about America’s shifting global power balance, a congressional push to dismantle Obamacare’s lingering grip, and a revolutionary approach to treating America’s deadliest chronic disease—addiction. Guests Ava Chen of the New Federal State of China, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ), and addiction medicine pioneer Dr. Stephen Lloyd joined host Kathleen Winn for three hours of unfiltered discussion.

Independent journalist and White House Press Corps member Corinne Clifford joined Kathleen Winn to discuss her exclusive doorstep interview with Delicia Cole, the mother of Brian Cole Jr.—the 30-year-old Virginia man recently arrested for planting pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC headquarters on January 5, 2021.

Spokeswoman for the National Police Association Betsy Smith joined Winn for the recurring “Smith & Wynn” segment, praising the Trump FBI’s rapid arrest of Brian Cole Jr. after years of Biden-era inaction. Smith noted the bombs were discovered on January 6, diverting law-enforcement resources from the Capitol at a critical moment, and reiterated that Cole has reportedly confessed and was accumulating bomb-making materials since 2019.

Local activist J.L. Wittenbraker warned listeners about two March 2026 special-election ballot measures designed to extend and expand the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA).

Veteran law-enforcement officer Dave Smith joined Winn to dissect the Taco Giro raid fallout. Two protesters now face federal charges—one for assaulting an agent, another for damaging a Homeland Security vehicle—while body-cam footage contradicts Rep. Adelita Grijalva’s claim of being directly pepper-sprayed.

Kathleen Winn opened her Monday broadcast of Winn Tucson on 1030 The Voice with the energy of a host who had just survived a whirlwind weekend. From college football excitement to heartfelt remembrance and hard-hitting policy discussions, the two-hour program delivered the mix of local pride and conservative commentary that listeners have come to expect.

Freedom Talk magazine publisher Kelly Walker joined Winn to discuss the November cover story “Communism in the American Church.”

Arizona Corporation Commissioner Rene Lopez provided the latest on the controversial Project Blue data center near the Pima County Fairgrounds.

Retired Brigadier General Stephen Mundt closed the program with a blunt assessment of America’s healthcare mess.

Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne joined Kathleen Winn on Winn Tucson for a wide-ranging discussion on the state’s education landscape. Horne, a former Arizona Attorney General now seeking re-election, laid out his case for expanded school choice, tougher academic standards, and a return to consequences in schools—while pushing back hard against critics, including Governor Katie Hobbs and Attorney General Kris Mayes.

Later in the program, Tucson neurologist Dr. Mateja de Leonni of Vita Medica Institute joined Kathleen Winn to share what she calls the most encouraging developments in neurological disease in her 34-year career.

In the heart of Oro Valley, a Veterans Day weekend tradition has grown far beyond its original intent. What began as one family’s heartfelt thank-you to first responders has evolved into a full-fledged movement supporting veterans, active-duty military, police, fire, EMTs, and Gold Star families. Mike and Bonnie Quinn, founders of Rockin’ for Heroes, joined host Kathleen Winn and co-host Matt Neely on Winn Tucson to recount the fourth annual event and the lasting impact it continues to create.

Kathleen Winn welcomed Republican Cheryl Caswell, a candidate for Arizona Legislative District 19 (one of the state’s geographically largest districts, spanning five counties).

On this week’s China Watch Wednesday, Ava Chen of the New Federal State of China delivered a sobering intelligence briefing that should alarm every American. From downed U.S. military aircraft in the South China Sea to Beijing’s capture of entire Latin American states through fentanyl, money laundering, and trade, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is waging unrestricted warfare—right under our noses.

Arizona State Treasurer Kimberly Yee, term-limited after two successful terms, is running for State Superintendent of Public Instruction in 2026—and she’s laser-focused on fixing a broken system.

Political commentator Dave Smith joined the program to break down Tuesday’s special election in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District.

Kathleen Winn opened her show with a provocative conversation that struck at the heart of America’s cultural fracture. Her first guest, Dr. Gilda Carle—relationship expert, media veteran, and author of the deliberately incendiary *Real Men Don’t Go Woke*—didn’t disappoint.

Winn welcomed CNN political commentator Scott Jennings, fresh off the release of his new book A Revolution of Common Sense: How Donald Trump Stormed Washington and Fought for Western Civilization.

Jennings is now the sole conservative voice regularly appearing on a network that has spent years crafting anti-Trump narratives. He described the Democratic playbook with surgical precision: invent a narrative (Russian collusion, “illegal orders,” mass deportations of American citizens), rapidly program the base to believe it, then treat disbelief as heresy.

Republican state treasurer candidate Elijah Norton joined Winn to explain why Arizona needs a treasurer who actually understands high-stakes investing.

State Representative Alex Kolodin (LD-3), now running for Secretary of State, delivered a sobering assessment of Arizona’s ongoing election integrity crisis.

On December 1, 2025, Kathleen Winn opened her radio program *Winn Tucson* on 1030 The Voice with a bombshell: the just-released Arizona Election Validity Scorecard from Unite for Freedom (unite4freedom.com) shows the state’s 2024 general election was neither lawful nor valid under federal or state law. Guests Harry Haury (co-founder and chairman of Unite for Freedom), Lisa Von Geldern (John Birch Society and Unite for Freedom volunteer), and later Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith (National Police Association) laid out the evidence in exhaustive detail.
