    Tune in here to this Friday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program with The Hangover with Pete Kaliner talking about holiday chaos and the annual “Whamageddon” challenge, sparking a lively and hilarious debate over who holds the real power to avoid the infamous Wham! Christmas song. The two trade friendly jabs about trust, sabotage, and the trauma of being knocked out of the game on-air, all while urging listeners to stay vigilant and call the station if they fear Pete might “take them out.” Their banter shifts into a sharp, comedic critique of cable news rebrands—especially the newly renamed “MS Now”—mocking the irony of changing a network’s name without changing any of its content. The conversation wraps with lighter fare, including Thanksgiving drama, fat cats, and new feline weight-loss implants, before Brett highlights the evening’s “Hancock’s Bikes for Kids” event, celebrating the station’s effort to brighten children’s lives with their very first bicycles. We’re joined by Dan Rakowski from the Charlotte Knights to talk about the annual Hancock’s Bikes for Kids initiative and the team’s ongoing commitment to the Charlotte community. For more than a decade, the Knights have partnered in this holiday effort, delivering 31 brand-new bikes—one for each major league team plus the Knights—to children who will wake up on Christmas morning to an unforgettable surprise. Dan reflected on the joy a first bike brings, symbolizing freedom, adventure, and timeless childhood memories. He also highlighted the Knights’ broader charitable work, including their 12 Days of Giving program and the popular Light the Knights Christmas and Holiday Festival, which transforms the ballpark into a festive winter experience complete with skating, tubing, music, and Santa. From supporting local hospitals and food pantries to creating family-friendly holiday traditions, the Knights continue to make a meaningful impact across the Charlotte region each year.

    Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about media manipulation and the repeated political playbook he believes the left deploys. He argues that progressive strategists use the same tactics year after year, targeting dissenting voices and shaping narratives through coordinated censorship efforts. Brett highlights a report claiming that the UK Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff, Morgan McSweeney, ran a covert campaign to undermine Breitbart and other unaligned outlets—a move he sees as part of a broader international trend against free expression He contrasts this with what he says would have happened in the U.S. if Trump had not won in 2024, arguing that major American media outlets would have suppressed major stories while promoting shallow or misleading narratives. Brett warns that many allied nations "draft" off the U.S. while embracing restrictive policies, and he challenges listeners to identify what they want accomplished in the next 18 months to protect the country’s direction Later Brett discusses the surprising stability of Ole Miss’ ranking despite Lane Kiffin’s departure, using it to highlight how strong leadership builds organizations that can thrive even after a key figure moves on. He compares it to succession planning in business, emphasizing that great leaders develop teams capable of sustained success. The conversation then shifts to reactions around Kiffin’s move to LSU, noting that fan frustration is natural but often emotional rather than rational. Brett also touches on the sudden voting swings in the Tennessee 7 District race, framing public concern as part of a broader distrust in voting mechanisms, while acknowledging that elections—like sporting events—aren’t over until they’re over Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

    Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the growing frustration many Americans feel when it comes to defending their country and the cultural divide over what true patriotism looks like. He reflects on a string of national dilemmas — from immigration enforcement to drug trafficking to national security — and argues that America seems unwilling or unable to take decisive action despite having the power to do so. Brett contrasts this with what he sees as the genuine love most citizens have for the United States, a love rooted in sacrifice, duty, and gratitude rather than entitlement. We're joined by Coach Doherty from DohertyCoaching.com to talk about leadership and the real-world lessons we can pull from sports, coaching transitions, and even high-stakes elections/ Coach Doherty highlights how Lane Kiffin’s departure from Ole Miss underscores the importance of succession planning—how strong organizations continue to perform when a leader leaves because the foundation and personnel remain solid. He explains that leadership is a learned behavior, not a one-time achievement, and like any craft, it requires consistent practice. We're also joined by Mark Vargas to discuss national security, political messaging, and the rising tensions shaping the country’s current moment. Vargas, a commentator and columnist, argues that the messaging from the political left has fractured, creating what he describes as a climate of confusion and instability. He links this shift to increasing concerns about crime, border security, and the vetting of individuals entering the United States. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

Roggio also pushes back on the idea of “self-radicalization,” noting that individuals rarely develop extremist ideology in isolation—there is usually online content, personal contacts, or ideological influencers guiding the process. He raises questions about how the suspect obtained a firearm and stresses the broader challenge of identifying who may pose a threat once inside the country.

    Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by discussing what he sees as a deepening crisis of seriousness in American political leadership. He points to recent comments from Democratic candidates—like the assertion that men can give birth—as emblematic of a party drifting into ideological theatrics rather than governing realities. Brett argues that these kinds of statements aren’t just fringe soundbites; they reflect a broader trend where performative politics replaces practical problem-solving. Brett contrasts this with the type of leadership he believes the moment demands: individuals with real-world experience, discipline, and grounding—people who understand national security, economic pressure, and the consequences of global instability. Brett warns listeners that while some candidates chase viral clips and identity-based applause lines, the world is becoming more dangerous, with threats emerging from adversarial nations and extremist financing networks.

He highlights the story of Dan Cluver, a married father of two, who has endured 15 years of debt, IRS penalties, garnished wages, and even involvement in a wrongful-death lawsuit — all because an undocumented worker assumed his identity to gain employment. Brett questions why federal authorities allow this pattern to continue, blasting what he calls the government’s failure to incarcerate or deport offenders who inflict economic and emotional harm on law-abiding Americans. He criticizes the New York Times for soft-pedaling the severity of the damage while portraying the migrant sympathetically. Brett argues that Cluver’s ordeal exposes a broken system — one where normal citizens pay the price while bureaucratic agencies look the other way. Later Brett discusses the escalating turmoil in Venezuela and argues forcefully for a renewed Monroe Doctrine to counter Nicolás Maduro’s regime. He highlights the suffering of political prisoners, amplified by María Corina Machado’s testimony about torture, disappearances, and repression. Brett portrays Machado as a heroic figure fighting for Venezuelan liberty while criticizing U.S. politicians who, in his view, ignore her plight.

He dives into the headlines of the day, but quickly pivots to a broader warning: the nation is becoming distracted, divided, and dangerously dependent on politics instead of productivity.

From there, Brett shifts into the deeper implications behind the vote, tying it to the long-standing controversy surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and the powerful figures who associated with him.

Whatley also raised concerns about the “weaponization” of government agencies against political opponents and underscored the need for strong conservative leadership in Congress.

Brett kicks off the program by talking about the political turmoil in Washington, D.C. and how the recent government shutdown represents what he calls “what winning feels like.” He argues that discomfort during this process is necessary and that Americans should not want things to “go back to the way they were.” Brett suggests that Democrats have overplayed their hand, leading to potential political fallout for leaders like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. We’re joined by Bill Roggio from the Long War Journal to talk about the growing violence and instability across Africa and how the U.S. should respond to global conflicts. Roggio explains the complex situation in Nigeria, where Islamic State-linked groups like Boko Haram are targeting Christians amid deep-rooted communal and land disputes. He warns against U.S. military intervention, saying “every problem in the world isn’t our problem.” Brett and Bill also discuss U.S. naval movements near Venezuela, with Roggio suggesting the deployment of the USS Gerald R.

Kerpen explains how economist Jonathan Gruber, a key architect of the Affordable Care Act, designed the program’s structure and misled the public about its real costs and redistributive goals. He recalls how Gruber once boasted about relying on the “stupidity of the American voter” to push the legislation through, and how Democrats later denied knowing him when his comments resurfaced. The conversation then shifts to the present-day battle in Congress over extending the extra COVID-era Obamacare subsidies. Kerpen argues that these expanded subsidies have led to waste, fraud, and inflated costs, while Democrats continue to blame Republicans for the system’s failures.

He expresses confidence that political opponents like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have “done their worst,” and that it’s now time for Americans to hold leaders accountable and push them back to work. Transitioning from politics to history, Brett highlights the significance of November 6th as a date that has shaped civilizations—from Columbus introducing tobacco in 1492, to Lincoln’s 1860 election, Jefferson Davis’s rise in 1861, and Lenin’s revolution in 1917. Through these events, he draws parallels to modern America, suggesting that each era faces its own storms of change. We’re joined by Lucas Miles from Turning Point Faith to talk about the legacy of Charlie Kirk and the growing movement to preserve faith in America. Miles reflects on his close working relationship with Kirk, describing him as a man of deep integrity and unwavering conviction whose mission continues to inspire thousands. Since Kirk’s passing, Turning Point Faith has seen a surge of new pastors, volunteers, and churches joining the cause—doubling their outreach in just two months. Miles also discusses his new book, Pagan Threat, which examines the cultural and ideological forces he believes are eroding America’s Christian foundations. He warns of a growing “post-Christian” movement driven by Marxism, paganism, and radical ideologies, and urges parents and communities to stay vigilant. Ultimately, Miles emphasizes hope, calling on Americans—especially the younger generation—to turn toward faith, truth, and light rather than the moral confusion of the modern age.

Brett and Pete play excerpts from a 2022 lecture in which the professor discusses topics such as nationalism, colonialism, and the aftermath of World War II. The hosts pause throughout to examine his claims—particularly his assertions about the Allies, ethnic cleansing, and the historical roots of settler colonialism—calling them misleading and historically inaccurate. They express concern about the spread of what they view as revisionist narratives within higher education and the potential influence such ideas have on students. We’re joined by Robert Spencer to discuss his new book, Intifada on the Hudson: The Selling of Zohran Mamdani — What Zohran Mamdani Really Believes and Why He’s So Dangerous. Spencer speaks with Brett Winterble about Mamdani’s rapid rise in New York City politics and his ideological background, describing him as a product of privilege with deep connections to Marxist and Islamist thought. Spencer argues that Mamdani represents a growing movement of far-left, activist candidates backed by organizations such as the Democratic Socialists of America and the Open Society Foundation, all working to reshape American politics. He warns of an emerging alliance between radical leftist and Islamist factions united by opposition to traditional American values.
