KMZQ 670AM, Kevin Wall Radio 6/01/2026 – Hour 2 Part 1
The episode opens with escalating Middle East tensions as the U.S. bombs Iranian military sites and Kuwait faces drone and missile attacks, while diplomatic talks between Washington and Tehran remain stalled amid deep mistrust over sanctions, nuclear ambitions, and the ongoing Israel-Hizballah conflict. Amid global headlines, the focus shifts to domestic politics in Nevada’s CD4 congressional race, where Republican candidate Rhonda Kennedy argues that incumbent Democrat Stephen Horsford has abandoned his district—particularly the historically Black Westside—failing to deliver on opportunity zones, voter ID, and infrastructure improvements. Kennedy claims Horsford’s absence during non-election periods and opposition to voter ID laws are suppressing the Black vote by enabling illegal voting, a claim she backs with emotional appeals to community pride and fiscal responsibility. She frames the race as a fight for accountability, affordability, and local empowerment, emphasizing volunteer-driven outreach over fundraising. Meanwhile, a contrasting ad from Republican Cody K. Whipple paints Horsford as a far-left extremist responsible for inflation, border chaos, and rising costs, calling for his retirement. The episode blends hard news, political campaign messaging, and local service promotions, all delivered in the raw, unfiltered tone of talk radio, with a clear ideological slant favoring conservative solutions to economic and social challenges.
Stephen Horsford is accused of abandoning CD4’s Westside, with voters comparing its decay to Beirut and blaming his absence for stalled development.
Rhonda Kennedy frames voter ID as a civil rights issue, arguing it protects Black votes from suppression by illegal voting—contrary to Democratic opposition.
Both Kennedy and Whipple claim Horsford’s policies have driven inflation, weakened borders, and increased costs, linking him to national economic struggles.
Campaigns in CD4 rely heavily on volunteer mobilization, not fundraising, with candidates emphasizing personal sacrifice and grassroots outreach.
The war in Iran is dismissed as a low-priority issue for voters focused on daily affordability, housing, and groceries.

Rhonda Kennedy on Horsford’s Failures
“He brings no opportunities to the inner city. President Trump actually brought the opportunities when he implemented the opportunity zones, which is right there in 89106, but Horsford doesn't talk about that.”
Voter ID as a Civil Rights Issue
“You get an ID to check into a hotel. You get an ID to buy cigarettes. I mean, you have to have an ID to go to the liquor store. So why can't you get an ID to actually vote?”
Campaign Strategy: Volunteers Over Money
Kennedy emphasizes volunteer-driven outreach, calling time more precious than money, and rejects the idea that fundraising determines electoral success.
“He voted to weaken our border while fentanyl, cartel crime, and dangerous criminals pour across the border.”
