Guests – Dave Smith, Brenda Marts, Jay Tolkoff, Alex Kolodin, Merissa Caldwell, Janet Neustedter Guest host Dave Smith, who had kept the show running during Winn's trip while his wife Betsy traveled with the Winn Tucson team, joined Kathleen for the opening segment to debrief on the week's news and set the political context. The two opened with what Smith called the "non-personing" of Eric Swalwell — a tactic he had discussed at length on Thursday and Friday's shows. Brenda Marts, precinct committeeman in LD-18 and a relentless tracker of Pima County's board of supervisors agendas, joined alongside Jay Tolkoff of LD-21 to break down what she had found buried in the Tuesday meeting's 45-item agenda. ew moments at the weekend's Turning Point USA event in Tucson generated more surprise than when President Trump called out Representative Alex Kolodin of LD-3 by name from the stage. "It was kind of an out-of-body experience," Kolodin told Winn. Merissa Caldwell — longtime election integrity activist, formerly Merissa Hamilton — called in to detail the weekend's SAVE Act events and the larger battle being waged over the question of who is actually casting ballots in American elections. Janet Neustedter, president of the Pima County Republican Women's Club, joined for the final segment to discuss an upcoming event featuring election analyst and author Seth Keschel — and to make the broader case for why joining a local political organization matters more than most people realize.
