Guests - Jay Foard, Elijah Norton, Lisa Von Geldern

Guests - Jay Foard, Elijah Norton, Lisa Von Geldern Jay Foard makes the case that the youth reading crisis is a culture war problem, not just an education one — and pitches his novel Rustling of the Sycamore as a deliberate antidote built around faith, family, and critical thinking. Elijah Norton fires back at attack ads from his treasurer primary opponent by leaning entirely on his own financial track record, including a $68 million accounting discrepancy he wants to dig into if elected. And Lisa Von Geldern connects a Brazilian homeschooling family's legal troubles to a much older fight over parental rights, closing the show with the genuinely moving story of Robert Taylor, a paralyzed rugby player turned motivational speaker whose mantra — "compared to what?" — gives the whole episode its emotional landing.

Guests - Art Del Cueto, Alex Kolodin, Warren Peterson

Guests - Art Del Cueto, Alex Kolodin, Warren Peterson Art Del Cueto makes the case for Andy Biggs ahead of the governor's primary while warning that intra-party grudges and "RINO"-shaming are the real threat to Republican unity. Alex Kolodin breaks down the Save Act, a competing Democrat-backed ballot measure designed to confuse voters, and his unbroken win streak against Secretary of State Adrian Fontes. And Warren Peterson spends most of his segment rebutting his primary opponent's attack ads point by point, while laying out his plan to overhaul the Attorney General's office on day one.

Guests - Seth Keshel, Joel Strabala, Jay Tolkoff

Guests - Seth Keshel, Joel Strabala, Jay Tolkoff Seth Keshel breaks down the midterm map with data instead of doom, arguing Arizona's two competitive congressional seats and LD17's legislative races are winnable if Republicans avoid the ballot-splitting mistakes of past cycles. Joel Strabala explains why poll observers and early ballot returns matter more than most voters realize. And Jay Tolkoff digs into Tucson's budget sleight-of-hand — a "balanced budget" that's actually draining $61 million from reserves — plus TUSD's staggering staff-to-student ratio and a critical write-in campaign for a Pima County supervisor seat that hinges on just 146 signatures.

Guests - Sheriff Richard Mack, Rachel Keshel, Jack Dona

Guests - Sheriff Richard Mack, Rachel Keshel, Jack Dona Sheriff Richard Mack returns with a provocative new book co-written to influence the midterms, Representative Rachel Keshel recaps a legislative session that ended in an all-night Democrat meltdown over election integrity wins, and retired Master Sergeant Jack Dona digs into the fight over disabled veterans' tax exemptions and a contentious Attorney General primary that's already turning into a legal brawl.
