Arizona’s Political Firestorm: Crime, Corruption, Elections, and the Fight for America’s Soul

Winn Tucson | Monday, November 24, 2025

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes Under Fire for Office Theft and Political Persecution

Kathleen Winn opened the show with a scathing critique of Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes after Assistant Attorney General Vanessa Hickman resigned amid allegations she stole a misdelivered package containing expensive jewelry, opened it, resealed it, and then tried to sell the contents on Poshmark.

“This woman was a senior staffer in the state’s top prosecutorial office,” Winn said. “She had a prior scandal in Peoria involving a $139,000 severance payout that still smells funny. Yet Kris Mayes spent the last four years suing Donald Trump more than any other AG in America instead of cleaning her own house.”

Winn pointed out the irony: while Mayes pursues revived “fake elector” charges from 2020—despite federal pardons and court victories exonerating the alternates—she has ignored pay-to-play allegations surrounding Governor Katie Hobbs and the missing “Sunshine Fund” money.

“Maybe spend less time suing Trump and more time screening your staff for criminal activity,” Winn said. “Or answer my letter about election observers. Statute trumps the Elections Procedure Manual—unless you work for Adrian Fontes, apparently.”

Local Tucson Roundup: From Wildcat Triumphs to Porch Pirates at the Police Station

The mood lightened briefly with celebration of the University of Arizona’s dramatic comeback football win over Baylor and the thousands who turned out for El Tour de Tucson. Yet even local news carried a darker edge: a road-rage stabbing occurred in the parking lot of Tucson Police Department headquarters, leaving one victim in critical condition.

“Violent crime has now reached the doorstep—literally—of the main police station,” co-host Matt Neely noted. “If you can’t feel safe fleeing to a police parking lot, where can you?”

Joe Concha: Trump’s Comeback Is the Greatest in Political History

Fox News contributor and bestselling author Joe Concha joined the show fresh from Mark Levin’s Sunday program. His new book, *Progressives in Panic Mode: Inside Trump’s Big, Beautiful Campaign and the Greatest Comeback Ever*, has stormed the charts.

“Jesus had a pretty good comeback,” Concha quipped, “but since Christmas is coming. “But politically? Nothing touches this. Two assassination attempts, 94 felony counts, lawfare, censorship, a weaponized justice system—Trump overcame all of it and won the popular vote.”

Concha called Kamala Harris “the human Chernobyl of candidates” and praised Trump’s 2024 campaign for expanding the coalition: more Black and Latino voters, union households, and blue-dog Democrats than any Republican in modern history.

On the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, Concha shared a story from his book interview with Trump:

“I asked him why he stood up bleeding and pumped his fist ‘Fight! Fight! Fight!’ He said, ‘My son was watching, my wife was watching, the world was watching. There was a stretcher on that stage and there was no effing way I was getting on it. This is a movement that will not be stopped.’”

Concha believes Trump’s inner circle is now airtight this time—Susie Wiles running a leak-free ship, loyalists like Pam Bondi at DOJ and Pete Hegseth at Defense—and predicts the 2028 frontrunners will be JD Vance and Marco Rubio.

Captain Seth Keshel: Election Integrity, Midterms, and Democrat Senators Urging Mutiny

Former Army intelligence officer and election data expert Captain Seth Keshel (Captain K) joined to dissect Arizona’s ongoing election battles and the shocking video from Democrat senators telling troops to disobey “unlawful orders.”

“No unlawful orders have been issued,” Keshel said flatly. “Elissa Slotkin got cornered on air yesterday and admitted it. They’re worried future orders might be unlawful. That’s preemptive sedition.”

Keshel called Senator Mark Kelly’s participation “exactly the kind of rhetoric that starts color revolutions” and noted Kelly’s past financial ties to China raise legitimate questions.

On 2026 midterms, Keshel warned Republicans against overconfidence. “The path to keeping the House with a Republican president is razor-thin. We must focus resources only on winnable seats. In Arizona, holding David Schweikert’s district and electing strong statewide officers—Andy Biggs for governor, a real conservative for secretary of state—are non-negotiable.”

Keshel remains convinced widespread mail-in balloting and unclean voter rolls rig the system structurally. “75% of Arizona ballots come through the mail. That’s not voting; that’s ballot gathering. Until we force in-person voting and annual voter-roll purges, we’re fighting with one hand tied.”

Kelly Walker: Parents Still Under Assault – A Special Prosecutor Is Coming

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.

“We’ve compiled a dossier of dozens of cases—parents doxxed, arrested, fired, bank accounts frozen—for simply speaking at school boards,” Walker said. “Vail Unified here in Tucson remains one of the worst offenders.”

Walker revealed new complaints filed just weeks ago against Vail leadership, including physical intimidation of parents attempting to film public meetings.

“Superintendent John Carruth’s background is strangely disappears before 1995, and there are financial ties we’re still digging into,” Walker said. “But the pattern is clear: parents labeled ‘domestic terrorists’ while Marxist ideology was pushed in classrooms.”

Walker confirmed he and Sorbo have been meeting with Senator Josh Hawley’s office and Trump transition officials. “Hawley publicly called for a special prosecutor during Pam Bondi’s confirmation process.

“That special prosecutor is going to happen,” Walker stated. “Subpoenas are coming. Digital records don’t lie. Anyone who persecuted parents needs to lawyer up now, because sunlight is the best disinfectant—and it’s coming.”

Closing Thought from the Host Kathleen Winn

As Thanksgiving approaches, Winn reminded listeners to stay situationally aware during holiday shopping, lock vehicles, and remember that real community safety begins with secure borders, clean elections, and schools that teach children how to think, not what to think.

“America is worth fighting for,” Winn said. “We don’t have to hate each other to disagree. But we do have to stand up—whether it’s at a school board, a polling place, or the ballot box. Happy Thanksgiving, Tucson. Stay warm, stay safe, and stay free.”
