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 victory and momentum—both in politics and in the broader cultural fight for America’s future. With characteristic passion, he reminds listeners that a win isn't truly a win unless it breaks the opponent’s will to resist. Citing figures like Ulysses S. Grant and Sun Tzu, Brett underscores the importance of pushing through resistance and securing lasting change, not just symbolic triumphs. He challenges listeners not to settle for temporary applause or half-measures but to pursue real, definitive outcomes. Later Brett is joined by New York City mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa to discuss his radical competitors and his plan for NYC if elected. From the perspective of outsiders, it appears that New York is filled to the brim with radical leftists who voted for Mamdani, the self-described communist, but Sliwa calls on the millions of everyday conservative Americans who keep NYC running day in and day out. These are the people who built America's greatest city, and they're the people who will cast their vote for a better, safer New York City. "I am the candidate who can do it because I am the consummate New Yorker," Sliwa said. Sliwa sees no difference between the communist Mamdani and the liberals Cuomo and Adams. They all support allowing illegal immigrants to vote and many other radical policies. Curtis Sliwa is the only common-sense candidate in this race.

Tune in here to this Wednesday edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the show by talking about what President Trump has accomplished since his administration began, breaking down the good versus the bad. President Trump’s wins far outweigh his losses; his handling of the 12-day war in the Middle East, ceasefires, tariffs, deportations, and the Big Beautiful Bill. The focus on the Epstein files is misguided; we must not become bogged down in the weeds, but we must focus on the pathway forward. We're joined by Breaking Brett Jensen to talk about a chaotic day at the Mecklenburg County Board of Elections and the early moments of the 2025 Charlotte mayoral race. Brett recapped the calm filing of current Mayor Vi Lyles, who is running for a fifth term, addressing major city issues including recent uptown violence and council dysfunction. Then came Tiawana Brown’s electrifying and unconventional entrance, complete with livestreaming, chants, and a rally-like atmosphere. Brown criticized the media’s use of unflattering photos, declared she wouldn't speak to reporters—then did—and capped the event with a memorable reference to her designer “red bottoms.” The contrast between the two filings was stark, showcasing both the traditional and unpredictable sides of Charlotte politics. We're joined by Steve Favre and Deacon Darren from St. Matthew Catholic Church to talk about the 23rd anniversary of the Monsignor McSweeney World Hunger Drive and the urgent need to support families facing hunger around the world. This life-changing initiative began 23 years ago with a single shipment to Haiti and has since grown to deliver over 4.5 million pounds of food and supplies globally. With Haiti in crisis and shipping routes blocked, this year’s efforts will shift to Cuba, while funds continue to support Haitian communities through local sourcing. The mission has expanded beyond food, emphasizing education and sustainability projects like gardens, tilapia farms, and chicken coops. With rising costs and limited access, the drive’s goal is $400,000, with 100% going directly to those in need. To get involved or donate, visit StMatthewCatholic.org/worldhungerdrive and help make a difference in lives both near and far. Finally We're joined by Coach Matt Doherty to talk about leadership, political transparency, and the challenges facing public figures in today’s media landscape. Coach Doherty weighed in on the swirling controversy surrounding former President Trump and the ongoing speculation about Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged connections. He emphasized the importance of clear messaging and controlling the narrative, suggesting that Trump’s team may need to admit there’s no "smoking gun" and move on to more pressing matters like economic and technological initiatives. Coach also commented on Congressman Adam Schiff’s residency scandal, pointing out the contradiction of claiming two primary residences—something he called both misleading and politically damaging. With his background in leadership and team dynamics, Coach Doherty brings a unique perspective to the political arena, highlighting the parallels between sports strategy and public accountability.

The focus on the Epstein files is misguided; we must not become bogged down in the weeds, but we must focus on the pathway forward. "Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it," former President Dwight D. Eisenhower said. President Trump has put on a master class in leadership since taking office seven months ago. Taking the reins with chaos around the world and overseeing the cleanup of disasters created by the former administration. Do not lose faith in our president; this is a man who has faced lawfare, assassination attempts, and impeachments. Through all of this, he never wavered. Do not waver now.

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about listener expectations surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case and the broader issue of human trafficking.Brett explains there are no new developments to report and emphasizes the importance of focusing on real-time issues like modern-day slavery and human trafficking happening across the United States. He passionately argues that the national conversation should center on stopping the exploitation of vulnerable people, particularly children, and criticizes those who ignore the crisis. Brett urges stronger support for law enforcement agencies like ICE and challenges the Democratic Party’s stance on immigration and public safety. We’re joined by Breaking Brett Jensen to talk about rising violence in uptown Charlotte and the recent city council candidacy announcement by Krista Bakari. Jensen explains that Bakari, wife of former council member Tariq Bakari, is running to address what she sees as a lack of transparency, escalating crime, and concerns over how transportation funds are managed. The conversation highlights the city's failure to publicly respond to a recent mass shooting and ongoing safety issues plaguing uptown. Brett and Brett also discuss the broader implications for leadership, public trust, and upcoming political filings. Beth Troutman from Good Morning BT is also here to talk about the upcoming political shifts in North Carolina and the national implications of an open U.S. Senate seat. With Senator Thom Tillis announcing he won’t seek re-election, Beth highlights potential contenders from both parties and the intrigue surrounding who might step forward. She also reflects on growing interest in the Epstein files, local city council races—including Krista Bakari’s candidacy—and national developments like Trump’s proposed investment in Pennsylvania.

Tune in here to this Monday edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the show by talking about the many young people who have been trafficked into this country and are being used for cheap physical labor and in the sex trade. This is unacceptable anywhere, but especially in our great nation. Crime has touched nearly every family in America in some way or another, even our president was impacted when he was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania. This must come to an end; we must develop a realistic plan to combat the rise in crime that we've seen in our country. Later, Brett turned his attention to the surprising shift in U.S. foreign policy, noting with concern the decision to send deadly weaponry to Ukraine. This move, he explained, came after former President Trump issued a sharp warning to Vladimir Putin—threatening 100% tariffs if the war didn’t end within 50 days. Trump, while critical of Putin, laid much of the blame for the conflict at the feet of President Biden, accusing him of weak leadership and failed diplomacy. Trump praised NATO’s new head, Mark Rutte, and emphasized Europe’s renewed spirit and financial commitment to defense efforts. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

Tune in here to this Thursday edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the show by talking about President Trump's trip to Texas to meet with the victims of the flood that has taken the lives of more than 120 people. This stands in stark contrast to former President Joe Biden's response to catastrophic natural disasters and the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. The former president was slow to act, rarely seen on the ground with survivors; simply put, he was out of his depth. Brett continues and delves into the importance of borders. "A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation," according to former President Ronald Reagan. America is a nation of legal immigrants who came to this great nation in search of freedom and the God-given rights that America ensures for all its people. Later, Brett shares a clip of Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett explaining how MAGA republicans are responsible for the assassination attempts on President Donald Trump. Furthermore, she describes how republicans are the cause of all the political violence we are seeing in our country today. 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 President Trump’s early accomplishments and the enduring strength of the United States. He frames America as a nation that thrives despite global instability and internal political dysfunction. Citing Trump’s actions on immigration, tariffs, and national security, Brett invites listeners to weigh in on what they see as the former president’s greatest achievement so far.He reflects on America's historic leadership—from landing on the moon to defeating global threats—and argues that the country’s strength allows even its most dysfunctional cities to exist without collapsing the nation. Brett contrasts the prosperity of the U.S. with the struggles of countries like Venezuela, Iran, and China. Later, Brett dives into the growing hostility toward law enforcement and the dangerous rhetoric surrounding immigration enforcement. He expresses deep concern over rising attacks on ICE and Border Patrol agents, citing a 700% increase in assaults and recent incidents involving ambushes. Brett highlights comments from DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin, who blames politicians and media figures for normalizing violence by comparing ICE officers to Nazis and Gestapo agents. Brett condemns these comparisons as outrageous and historically inaccurate, warning that such language encourages violence and undermines national security.

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about tariffs and inflation, asserting that the U.S. holds economic leverage due to its massive consumer market and production flexibility. He emphasizes that recent tariffs have not led to inflation or rising consumer prices, calling the economic situation "extremely benign. Later, Brett dives into the ongoing controversy surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting that a real resolution would come from prosecuting high-profile figures like Bill Gates, who allegedly had connections to Epstein. He emphasizes the seriousness of the matter, dismissing any notion that it should be overlooked, and argues that targeting powerful individuals could finally bring accountability. From there, Brett shifts to a chilling discussion about scientific advancements in synthetic human DNA. Citing reports on scientists attempting to build synthetic genomes and potentially creating designer humans, he warns of the ethical and existential risks. Drawing comparisons to the Wuhan lab and past genetic experiments, Brett raises concerns about “playing God” and the potential for catastrophic consequences. He frames these developments as part of a broader pattern of elite overreach and unchecked scientific ambition, urging listeners to stay alert and informed. The segment reflects his trademark mix of skepticism, concern, and provocative commentary. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

Tune in here to this Monday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the devastating storms in Central Texas and the remnants of Chantal affecting areas near Raleigh. He urges listeners who believe in the power of prayer to remember those impacted, while sharply criticizing those blaming political figures—particularly President Trump—for natural disasters. Transitioning into broader themes, Brett challenges the belief that government can control the climate, warning against political opportunism and excessive federal power. Drawing on historical references from Jefferson, Franklin, Madison Later Brett dives into Elon Musk’s reported interest in forming a new political party, humorously dubbing it the “Musgrat Party.” While he insists the nickname isn’t disrespectful, he uses it to highlight Musk’s outsider status and survival instincts in political “swamps.” Brett speculates that Musk’s real goal is to influence American politics despite being ineligible to run for president himself. He draws attention to centrist Republican Don Bacon, who is leaving Congress but hasn’t ruled out a presidential run—potentially aligning with Musk’s movement. Brett raises questions about the motivations behind this third-party push, suggesting it’s designed to siphon support away from conservatives and help Democrats by default. He compares this possible shift to the impact of Ross Perot’s 1992 campaign, warning it could fracture the right and lead to unintended consequences.

Tune in here to this Wednesday edition of the Brett Winterble Show with Chris Krok filling in! Chris kicks off the program by discussing Penn State's apology to Riley Gaines for forcing her and her teammates to swim with Will "Lia" Thomas, a man posing as a woman. Woman lost their spots to a man, they were forced to change in the same locker room as a man, and they were pressured to accept the man as a woman with the looming threat of being labeled a bigot or transphobe. Later, Chris points out some false claims made by Governor Josh Stein regarding the "Big Beautiful Bill." Gov. Stein told North Carolinians that their energy bills will rise by 18% if the bill passes. This claim is rooted in the bill ending green energy subsidies; in reality, the energy companies will just move away from green energy and towards fossil fuels.

Chris kicks off the program by discussing Senator Thom Tillis’s announcement that he won’t seek re-election, framing it as a pivotal moment for Republican voters—especially those aligned with Trump or the further right. Chirs critiques Tillis as a “milquetoast moderate” who lacks the boldness expected by MAGA-aligned conservatives. He questions Tillis’s opposition to Medicaid cuts and his hesitancy to support key GOP initiatives, citing stats from the Wall Street Journal to argue that many Medicaid recipients are either non-citizens or able-bodied individuals not working. Chris also compares Tillis to figures like John Cornyn and the late John McCain, debating whether the GOP should nominate a staunch conservative with “stones,” or a more electable centrist.

He praises Trump for taking decisive action where past presidents hesitated, describing the operation as a culmination of 15 years of intelligence and planning. Chris emphasizes the strategic significance of targeting Iran’s underground sites and highlights statements from U.S., Israeli, and even Iranian officials acknowledging the severe damage inflicted.

Tune in here to this Wednesday’s edition of the Brett Winterble Show with Jason Lewis filling in! Jason kicks off the program by welcoming former Tax Foundation president and current Arnold Ventures tax policy fellow, Scott Hodge, to shed light on a little-known but massive issue in the American economy: untaxed nonprofit enterprises. Jason highlights how some nonprofits, including hospitals and universities, operate like large corporations—raking in billions in revenue while avoiding federal income taxes. With energy and conviction, he echoes Hodge’s findings that the nonprofit sector now represents a staggering $3.3 trillion—about 15% of the U.S. GDP—yet largely escapes taxation. The conversation focuses on how these organizations, often paying executives seven-figure salaries, compete with small businesses that do pay taxes. Jason argues that it’s time to differentiate between genuine charities and commercial giants masquerading as nonprofits. He praises the study’s fairness in preserving support for true charitable work, while calling for reform that would generate revenue without burdening working Americans.

The conversation centers around In the Pines, a powerful short film dramatizing the 1898 Wilmington coup—the only successful coup in American history. Jason praises the film’s storytelling and historical relevance, noting how it challenges the typical Hollywood narrative by offering a conservative perspective wrapped in compelling drama. Bryson explains the motivation behind the project, emphasizing the shift from print to visual media as a way to better engage modern audiences. He also touches on the backlash from left-leaning critics, which both he and Jason see as confirmation that the film struck a nerve. With additional projects like Letter to the Key already released, the discussion highlights how John Locke Studios is redefining how conservatives tell stories and preserve overlooked parts of history. We’re also joined by Dr. John Lott, esteemed economist and author of More Guns, Less Crime, for a deep dive into both Second Amendment policy and an unexpected turn into foreign affairs.Dr. Lott weighs in with his analytical perspective, agreeing that the outcomes were surprisingly effective given the high stakes. The two discuss the backlash Trump faces from within his own party—particularly the "war caucus"—and whether his instincts could lead to a deal with Iran without compromising U.S. or Israeli security. Their conversation blends economic reasoning with geopolitical nuance, offering listeners a fresh take on complex global dynamics through the lens of data, deterrence, and diplomacy.

Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by addressing the critical issues of immigration and national security, emphasizing the need for legal entry and a deep respect for American values Brett draws a historical parallel between the 1979 Iran hostage crisis and today’s global instability, arguing that America once again faces a test of strength and resolve. He positions former President Trump as a figure of decisive leadership in contrast to what he describes as a politically compromised current administration. As global threats mount—from Iran to North Korea to domestic unrest—Brett calls for a strategic renewal grounded in moral clarity, strong diplomacy, and the rebuilding of essential institutions. He concludes with a sobering reminder that law and order must be actively defended, both abroad and at home, or risk being permanently lost. We’re joined by Dr. Bruce Bechtel from Angelo State University to talk about the deepening alliance between North Korea and Iran, and the growing threat their cooperation poses to global stability. In this insightful interview, Dr. Bechtel explains how North Korea has long supported Iran’s missile and nuclear infrastructure, detailing the technical support and weapons transfers that have shaped Iran’s current arsenal—some of which have been used against Israel in recent attacks.

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by discussing Governor Newton’s leadership and the consequences of his policies, particularly focusing on immigration and public safety. He argues that Newton’s tenure has led to increased strain on public resources, citing rising numbers of undocumented immigrants and associated social challenges. Brett then transitions to broader concerns about civil unrest in major cities, questioning whether the public has come to expect disorder as a norm in politically left-leaning areas. Brett emphasizes individual responsibility and personal agency. Drawing on the Stoic philosophy of Marcus Aurelius, he encourages listeners to reject passivity and take ownership of their lives and futures. He challenges the audience to avoid media-driven fear and distraction, and instead pursue meaningful goals with clarity and urgency. Using the metaphor of “burning the boats,” Brett calls for full commitment to personal and national renewal—insisting that change begins with decisive action and focused intention. Later we’re joined by Beth Troutman to discuss the ongoing national unrest and its media portrayal, particularly in cities like Los Angeles. Beth shares insights from her background in television journalism, reflecting on how coverage often focuses on the most sensational or emotional aspects of protests to drive ratings. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the full human experience behind these events, noting that many peaceful protests and diverse perspectives go underreported. Beth expresses concern about the deepening emotional divide fueled by selective media narratives and social media algorithms. Drawing from her own experience covering the 2016 Charlotte protests, she advocates for more balanced, compassionate storytelling that includes voices from all sides—protesters, police, immigrants, and officials alike. Her call is for truth, empathy, and meaningful dialogue, not just headlines. Troutman’s heartfelt reflections underscore her desire for a more human-centered approach to journalism and public discourse. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!
