Guests - Betsy Smith, Jerry Sheridan, Micheal Letts, Charles Heller The Friday before a full election season launched on Winn Tucson with a show that had a consistent theme running through every segment: what does it look like when people actually do the job they said they'd do? A sheriff who puts ICE agents in his intake. A nonprofit founder who puts vests on officers who can't afford them. An advocate who is building comic books and charter schools to put more people in uniform. And a man who has spent years gathering his neighbors around a tree at Udall Park to read the Declaration of Independence out loud, because he believes the country's spirit is won and lost one recitation at a time.

Guests - Joel Strabala, Eileen Wilson, Scott Schara Thursday on Winn Tucson moved from ground-level election machinery to a surprising internal legal victory to the sixth installment of a series that keeps finding new and uncomfortable ground to excavate. Three segments, three different scales — the precinct, the party, and the philosophical. All of it pointed toward the same thing: what are you doing with what you know?

Guests - Ava Chen, Betsy Smith, Alex Kolodin Wednesday on Winn Tucson opened with a Texas Senate runoff result that landed like fresh oxygen and closed with the most direct case yet for why the Arizona secretary of state race is the single most consequential race in the state. In between: China Watch Wednesday delivered some of its most urgent intelligence yet — the Putin-Xi pact, Pakistan and Serbia as captured vessels, Cuba as a CCP military base 90 miles from Key West, and the philosophical argument for why America is weakening from within. Then Betsy Brantner Smith weighed in from Iowa on teen takeovers, Maryland's Glock ban, Tim Walz honoring George Floyd on Memorial Day, and the anti-ICE theater at Delaney Hall.

Guests - Arturo Del Cueto, Laurie Moore, Kelly Walker Tuesday on Winn Tucson — the first show back after Memorial Day — opened with a Border Patrol veteran who knows every corridor the cartels use, moved through a patriot and a Pima County watchdog who between them covered the Texas runoff, sign theft, and the supervisors' latest agenda, and closed with a Tucson father who was handcuffed at a public meeting, convicted on charges that the very institution behind them immediately repudiated, and who has spent five years rebuilding his family while fighting for parents across the country who were targeted for speaking out. The day's through-line: the gap between what institutions claim to be doing and what they are actually doing — on the border, in school board meetings, in the Senate, and in the Pima County government building where four supervisors vote together on things that embarrass the county and harm its residents.

Guests - Jarred Weisfeld, Mark Mix, Cheryl Caswell The last show before Memorial Day weekend on Winn Tucson covered two fights that most people never hear about until it's too late: the fight to put a security guard in every elementary school before another shooting, and the fight to protect workers who don't want their paychecks funding political agendas they never agreed to. Sandwiched between those two battles was a conversation about election integrity, Rio Nuevo, Pima County's anti-business coordination between city and county, and the voters who will decide whether Arizona turns in November.
