The Crisis of Modern Masculinity: Dr. Gilda Carle Sounds the Alarm on Winn Tucson
On a crisp Tucson morning, conservative radio host 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.
“Men are committing suicide at four times the rate of women,” Dr. Carle declared, citing hard data. “Testosterone levels are plummeting. The Y chromosome is literally thinning. We are watching the deliberate erosion of masculinity in real time.”
The numbers are brutal and getting worse. Veterans, teenagers, middle-aged fathers—men across every demographic are checking out at alarming rates. Dr. Carle places the blame squarely on a culture that punishes traditional male traits: assertiveness, stoicism, protectiveness, and plain-spoken honesty.
“We have a cancel culture that castrates men for speaking their minds,” she said. “I had a Ph.D. tell me, ‘Thank you for speaking out—I can’t. I opened my mouth at work and I was fired.’ That’s where we are.”
Winn pushed deeper: “It feels like there’s an outside force committed to destroying male vitality—the John Wayne archetype, the man who says what he means and means what he says.”
Dr. Carle didn’t hesitate. “They’re terrified. They’re being crushed, canceled, and castrated. And it’s only coming from one side. The right believes in freedom of speech—literally.”
The conversation turned personal when Dr. Carle revealed a new phenomenon she’s seeing in her practice: young men being psychologically battered by “mean girls” radicalized on social media. “I have mothers begging me to work with their sons because they’ve fallen under the spell of these women who post on TikTok that ‘we want men dead’ and ‘male suicide rates aren’t high enough.’ Seven thousand likes on one post. Seven thousand.”
She continued, “Men are now telling their sons: don’t get married, don’t trust women—it’s not worth it. One man in Belgium announced he’s ‘binary’ because he’s tired of being called toxic. They’re beaten down.”
Dr. Carle’s prescription is built on Sun Tzu’s *Art of War*: communication over combat, emotional resilience over victimhood, and a refusal to go “spineless or voiceless.” Her book is a roadmap for men to reclaim authentic expression in a society that punishes it.
Scott Jennings: The Lone Conservative Voice Holding CNN Accountable
Later in the program, 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.
“They’ll throw you out of a Democratic event if you question the talking points,” Jennings said. “It’s the same operation they ran in 2016 with Russia. They’re remarkably effective because their voters will believe anything they’re told.”
Winn asked the obvious question: how does a conservative survive five-on-one panels night after night?
“Simple,” Jennings replied. “Prepare. Find out what actually happened. Come armed with facts, logic, reality, and the law. I treat it the way a journalist is supposed to—verify first, then speak.”
On the border crisis, Jennings was blunt: “The Biden administration’s theory was ‘let’s get as many people here as possible and overwhelm the system.’ They knew it takes no time to import 20 million people but forever to deport one. And the media ran cover the entire time.”
He praised the Trump administration’s incoming strategy: “When you’re a Republican president, you face the Democrats, the press, the bureaucracy, and the courts—all trying to destroy you. Trump’s approach was: I will not be overwhelmed. I will overwhelm them.”
Jennings will appear in Tucson on Friday, December 5th at the DoubleTree (445 S. Alvernon Way) for a book signing and Q&A hosted by the Pima County GOP.
Elijah Norton: The Businessman Who Wants to Make Arizona’s $32 Billion Work Harder
Republican state treasurer candidate Elijah Norton joined Winn to explain why Arizona needs a treasurer who actually understands high-stakes investing.
Norton, founder and CEO of Veritas Global Protection and several insurance-related companies, currently manages over $100 million in claims reserves under strict NAIC guidelines. He believes he can boost the state’s investment yield by at least 1%—adding $320 million annually to Arizona’s treasury at zero cost.
“I have to invest 70% in bonds and 30% in equities to protect principal,” Norton explained. “I’m already earning 5.5–6%. Kimberly Yee has done a good job, but I can build on that.”
He also called for a “DOGE-style” forensic audit of state finances in 2027, working alongside the auditor general and a Republican governor to root out waste, fraud, and abuse.
Norton dismissed his likely Democratic opponent’s desire to be a “mini-governor”: “Managing $32 billion is a full-time job. I’m running to be treasurer—period.”
Norton will appear at a private Tucson house party Wednesday evening and encourages supporters to visit nortonforaz.com.
Alex Kolodin: Arizona’s Elections Are Still a National Embarrassment
State Representative Alex Kolodin (LD-3), now running for Secretary of State, delivered a sobering assessment of Arizona’s ongoing election integrity crisis.
“Adrian Fontes has obstructed every effort to clean our voter rolls,” Kolodin charged. “He rejected Trump administration help to verify citizenship. He changed the Elections Procedures Manual to unlawfully keep people without proof of citizenship on the rolls. I had to sue him—and a Democratic-appointed federal judge chewed him out.”
In Maricopa County alone, new Recorder Justin Heap has already removed approximately 300,000 invalid registrations—roughly 12% of the county’s voter roll.
Kolodin was particularly scathing about Pima County Recorder Gabriella Cázares-Kelly’s practice of blocking statutory observers by re-naming voting locations “ballot replacement centers.”
“That violates Arizona law,” he said. “Independent observation is a minimum standard even the Carter Center demands in sub-Saharan Africa. Yet Pima County citizens are denied it. That’s voter suppression, plain and simple.”
Kolodin warned that continued secrecy only fuels distrust and depresses turnout: “They want Republicans to give up and stay home. We can’t let them win. We have to overwhelm the system with turnout—just like we did in 2024.”
He pledged that, as Secretary of State, Arizona will run elections so transparent and proud that even Democratic observers will leave impressed.
As Kathleen Winn closed her Tuesday broadcast, one theme tied every segment together: America is in a battle for common sense, masculine resilience, financial competence, and electoral integrity. And Arizona remains ground zero.
