ARIZONA LEGISLATORS AWAKEN: THE RED DESERT REVOLT
Arizona has become ground zero in the fight for America’s families. And two unlikely leaders are emerging: a teacher and a cop.
Representative Rachel Keshel and Senator Mark Finchem are driving forces in a grassroots revolution to reform the state’s broken family court system. They are taking aim at Governor Katie Hobbs, who defends the destruction, corruption, and grift wholeheartedly.
On a recent special edition of The Unknown Podcast, Keshel sat down with investigative journalists Richard Luthmann and Michael Volpe to pull back the curtain on decades of corruption, judicial abuse, and taxpayer-funded injustice.
“I’ve never wanted to fight for something so badly,” Keshel told the hosts. “The stories we’re hearing keep me up at night.”
Keshel isn’t just talking. Alongside Finchem, she co-chairs Arizona’s Joint Ad Hoc Committee on Family Court Orders.
The Committee has heard gut-wrenching testimony from parents and children describing what Finchem called “judicial overreach” and “self-serving practices” by a cabal of judges and court-appointed therapists.
“The system is breaking families,” the senator said.
Witnesses described a rigged court network where “therapeutic interventions” (TIs) are ordered at “legal gunpoint,” costing families $15,000 to $25,000 or more, often without court findings about ability to pay.
The worst part? Those who couldn’t pay were threatened with loss of custody.
“It’s extortion disguised as therapy,” Luthmann said on the podcast.
SADIST OR COMMUNIST? THE HOBBS QUESTION
Katie Hobbs’ veto spree has sparked a serious question in Arizona politics and beyond: Is she a sadist, a communist, or both?
In just one legislative session, Hobbs torched multiple family court reform bills with broad support from lawmakers and devastated parents.
She vetoed HB 2256, which would have barred judges from stripping custody from protective parents—most often mothers trying to shield their children from documented abuse. Hobbs sided with the abusers.
She vetoed HB 2255, which would have required Arizona courts—not financially battered parents—to pay for mandatory psychological evaluations. Families currently shell out between $15,000 and $25,000 for assessments often conducted by the same court-connected experts again and again. Many parents lose their homes or go into debt. Hobbs said: Let them pay.
Then came her most disturbing veto yet: SB 1109, a national security measure that would’ve prohibited adversarial foreign governments like the Chinese Communist Party from purchasing land near military installations such as Luke Air Force Base and Fort Huachuca.
Hobbs’ justification? Vague concerns over implementation. But her veto sent a chilling message: Chinese influence trumps American safety.
Representative Rachel Keshel didn’t hold back: “These vetoes aren’t just bad policy—they’re evil. They protect abusers, silence children, and weaken our state’s defenses.”
Family court whistleblower and director of the Foundation for the Child Victims of the Family Courts (fcvfc.org) Jill Jones Soderman added, “Governor Hobbs is not just ignoring abuse—she’s actively enabling it. These vetoes guarantee that predators remain protected while innocent parents and children are destroyed. The trauma is industrialized.”
For many, she’s either a sadist who enjoys inflicting pain on families or a CCP asset delivering a foreign subversion program. There’s no middle ground.
Investigative journalist Richard Luthmann delivered the hammer.
“She is giving aid and comfort to the enemy of everything this nation was founded on. Fifty years ago, they would have jailed that woman for being a Commie Traitor. Today, the Radical Left Maniacs celebrate her. President Trump is turning that around, but we need to Fight, Fight, Fight to get our country back. Hobbs has to go. And America First leaders like Finchem and Keshel will lead us there,” Luthmann said.
Even as bipartisan outrage mounts, Hobbs remains silent, surrounded by consultants and bureaucrats while Arizona families suffer in courtrooms and lose their land to communist interests.
Whether driven by cruelty, ideology, or sheer contempt for the public, one thing is undeniable: Katie Hobbs does not stand with Arizona families.
ARIZONA LEGISLATORS AWAKEN: THE MAGA MODEL
Keshel and Finchem’s brand of reform echoes the Trump Doctrine: safety through strength, prosperity through truth, and power to the people.
They’re fighting judicial tyranny at home, while President Donald Trump wages war on globalism abroad.
Together, they form the core of the New American Golden Age.
“President Trump is cleaning out the deep state in D.C.,” said Luthmann. “Keshel and Finchem are draining the swamp in Arizona’s Capitol and the family courts.”
The reforms promote common sense over credentialed corruption.
They support jury trials in custody cases, demand accountability for judges who ignore the law and silence children, and stand for fiscal sanity—ending the blank checks given to so-called “experts” who profit while families suffer.
The risk lies in allowing unchecked power to continue behind closed courtroom doors, where court appointee after court appointee rob Arizona and America’s families.
“They don’t want transparency,” Volpe noted. “They want kickbacks. And they will fight like hell to keep their gravy train from getting derailed.”
If voters remove Hobbs and elect a pro-family governor, Arizona could become a model for nationwide family court reform. Trump allies already call it the proving ground for red-state populist legislation.
ARIZONA LEGISLATORS AWAKEN: FAMILY COURT REFORM IS SAFETY AND SECURITY
Keshel and Finchem’s reforms are about more than custody battles. They’re about restoring justice, rebuilding trust, and putting America’s children first.
“It’s not just about family court,” Keshel said. “It’s about civil rights. It’s about freedom. It’s about ending generational trauma.”
Their movement is gaining steam. Over 2,000 people signed a petition to remove Judge Charlene Jackson from the bench.
Parents are organizing. Grandparents are fundraising. Whistleblowers are coming forward.
But until Hobbs is gone, reform may stay stalled.
“We have the votes. We have the bills. We just don’t have the governor,” Keshel said. “Yet.”
As the 2026 election cycle begins, MAGA Arizona has a new mission: fire Katie Hobbs, finish family court reform, and help President Trump build the New American Golden Age—one courtroom at a time.
