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 rainy weather and a frustrating experience with a tailgater on his drive to the studio. Using that as a segue, he transitions into broader reflections on leadership, strength, and decisiveness—qualities he attributes to former President Donald Trump. Brett contrasts Trump’s assertive style and global influence with what he describes as the weakness and confusion of the Biden administration. He highlights Trump’s recent trip to Asia as an example of America’s renewed respect on the world stage, emphasizing new economic developments, particularly in rare earth trade and shifting global alliances. Citing a viral X post, Brett describes the United States’ emerging dominance over China in technology and resource control, framing it as “the day America became an empire Later, Brett turns his attention to the New York City mayoral race, focusing on Zorhan Mondami, whom he predicts will almost certainly become the city’s next mayor. Brett warns that Mondami’s election could trigger a new wave of migration from the industrial Northeast to states like North Carolina, as residents flee what he describes as failed left-wing leadership. He criticizes Mondami as part of a broader trend of progressive politicians who, in his view, do not truly care about improving the cities they lead. Brett also discusses recent controversy surrounding Mondami’s dual Ugandan citizenship and the debate over Uganda’s anti-LGBTQ laws, playing a clip of Mondami defending himself against accusations of extremism and Islamophobia.

Tune in here to this Friday edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking to Pete Kaliner on the latest edition of The Friday Hangover. The discussion centers on comments made by Columbia University professor Mahmood Mamdani, father of New York Assembly member Zohran Mamdani. 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. Looking ahead to future elections, Spencer predicts the continued emergence of similar candidates nationwide and outlines the political stakes in races like New York’s upcoming mayoral contest.

Tune in here to this Thursday edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by discussing the negative opinions surrounding the demolition of the East Wing at the White House. He uses this story to spark a discussion about unity — and what it really means in a country of more than 300 million people. Describing unity as “the golden cow of political rhetoric,” he remarks that unity without purpose is merely “conformity with better branding.” Later, Brett addresses the ongoing issues of illegal immigration and the cost of living in the United States. He references an article from "The American Thinker" that examines illegal immigration through what it calls “the lens of simplicity.” The article states that regardless of whether the statistics have been manipulated, the fact remains that a significant cost is placed on U.S. taxpayers as a result of this form of immigration. Today we’re joined by Dick Morris, author of “The Real Charlie Kirk”. In this exclusive interview, Morris says he worked closely with Charlie Kirk while campaigning for Donald Trump during the 2024 election. He adds that he was proud to work with Kirk on advancing his agenda, which Morris describes as “not compromising, but rather explaining how the Christian movement and politics interfaced.” Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

He adds that he was proud to work with Kirk on advancing his agenda, which Morris describes as “not compromising, but rather explaining how the Christian movement and politics interfaced.” Morris says it was refreshing to watch Kirk refrain from “verbal war” and instead approach people with kindness and good faith. While Morris praises Kirk’s work, he also expresses concern about the manner in which Kirk died. Morris believes the left, particularly the transgender community, portrayed him negatively. He says this negative attention stemmed from a group within that community that argued the Christian right was blocking their well-being and ability to exist.

Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! We're joined by Danielle Alvarez from the GOP to talk about the ongoing government shutdown and the high-stakes elections in Virginia and New Jersey. Alvarez pulls no punches, blaming Democrats for prioritizing political leverage over the needs of everyday Americans. She criticizes their refusal to pass a clean continuing resolution and accuses leadership of caring more about benefits for illegal immigrants than paying U.S. military and federal workers. The conversation shifts to the "No Kings" event and the broader dysfunction within the Democratic Party, which Alvarez describes as rudderless and increasingly radical. She expresses concern about New York City’s direction under potential leadership like Mondaire Jones (“Mom Dami”) and calls on conservative voters in Virginia and New Jersey to show up in critical off-cycle elections. Looking ahead, she highlights North Carolina’s upcoming Senate race as one of the biggest in the nation. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the fear some Americans have of strong leadership and what he sees as a cultural shift toward weakness in the country. He contrasts this with previous generations, such as World War II and Vietnam veterans, who he views as exemplifying strength and resilience. Brett questions why the nation has become “soft” and laments the behavior of progressive protestors, describing them as erratic and unserious. He then shares a private conversation with a longtime insider friend who claims Democrats plan to keep the government shut down through the Virginia elections to motivate progressive voters. Later in the show, Brett delivers a fiery critique of the criminal justice system, focusing on the lack of accountability for repeat offenders in cities like Charlotte. He highlights the disturbing case of a known offender involved in the shooting of a toddler, arguing that the system isn’t just broken—it’s spineless. Brett calls out judges and magistrates who repeatedly grant bond to violent criminals, saying they should face consequences alongside the offenders they release. He paints a vivid picture of what real enforcement could look like: federal marshals, military precision, and a zero-tolerance approach to crime. He praises recent cleanups in cities like Memphis and urges similar action in Charlotte, emphasizing that families deserve safe communities. His message is clear—this isn't about political theater, it's about restoring justice and order. With passion and urgency, Brett calls on citizens and leaders alike to draw the line: no more leniency, no more excuses. Beth Troutman from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday’s episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Beth talk about the ongoing government shutdown and how long it could last, with both sharing theories about political strategy, historical context, and the potential impact on everyday Americans. Beth also shares what she and Bo Thompson have coming up tomorrow on Good Morning BT! Political science professor Scott Huffman will join them to break down the shutdown standoff and what it could mean heading into the holidays. On a lighter note, they’ll also highlight a special father-daughter basketball clinic tied to the Charlotte Hornets’ season opener and an upcoming Hornets game celebration Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

Tune in here to this Friday edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking with Pete Kaliner on the latest edition of The Friday Hangover. The two address several current events, including the planned “No Kings” protest in the nation’s capital, Democratic discussions about the ongoing government shutdown, and the recent mayoral debate in New York City. The segment is highlighted by two sound bites from Zohran Mamdani speaking at the debate. The first reveals Mamdani’s view on legalized prostitution, while the second shows how he would raise taxes to fund a free bus service. Brett is then joined by former federal prosecutor Don Brown to talk about safety in American cities. Brown shares his perspective on politicians trying to stop Trump from cleaning up cities, saying that it stems from a “pro-crime” notion the left is trying to promote. He notes that the U.S. Constitution gives the president the authority to deploy the National Guard into cities to restore order. Additionally, he says the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is underfunded and that more resources are needed to keep the city safe, especially given recent crime trends. Later, Brett shares more audio from the mayoral debate in New York City. The debate featured three candidates — Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. Although all three participated, the main clash was between Mamdani and Cuomo. One highlight from the debate was Mamdani criticizing Cuomo for not attending mosques, implying that he doesn’t accept Muslims as part of the community. Another moment featured Sliwa hammering both Cuomo and Mamdani for creating a crime crisis in New York City, though he was cut off by the moderators after making the remark.

Tune in here to this Friday edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking to Pete Kaliner on the latest edition of The Friday Hangover. Brett and Pete start off by addressing the planned “No Kings” protest amid the government shutdown in the nation’s capital. Brett believes that the organization of these protests is the result of a failure of the U.S. educational system. Pete highlights that the oddity of this situation is that the people participating are “advocating for something they don’t want to see happen that has not happened.” The conversation then shifts to the ongoing government shutdown. Pete mentions that reports have been circulating that Democrats cannot reopen the government until after the “No Kings” protests have concluded. The Democrats’ theory behind this is that if they vote to open the government before the protests, people would storm the Capitol and try to attack Democrats. Finally, the two talk about the mayoral debate that took place in New York City between Andrew Cuomo, Zohran Mamdani and Curtis Sliwa. They react to a shocking clip in which Mamdani states that he supports legalizing prostitution. Additionally, they respond to another clip in which Mamdani explains how he would raise taxes to fund free bus service. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about President Trump’s upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin in Budapest and the broader implications for U.S. foreign policy. He reflects on the historical significance of the former Soviet bloc and praises leaders like Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, and Lech Wałęsa for their roles in dismantling the Iron Curtain. Brett expresses hope that Trump will remind Putin that the territory is no longer his. Later, Brett dives into a powerful monologue examining the ideological evolution of the Democratic Party, tracing its shift from a working-class coalition to a technocratic, elite-driven platform. He outlines how Bill Clinton’s embrace of globalism, Wall Street, and Beijing marked the start of a neoliberal era, later fueled by Silicon Valley’s cultural influence. Brett argues that the 2008 financial crisis catalyzed a progressive uprising—Occupy Wall Street, Bernie Sanders, and AOC—pushing the party further left.

He warns that identity politics has replaced class concerns and claims the Democratic leadership now appeases campus radicals promoting anti-Semitism. Highlighting recent unrest at elite universities, he criticizes figures like Chuck Schumer for political cowardice. Brett contends that the “No Kings” movement represents a deeper rejection of Western values and civilization itself. He calls this a moment of moral clarity, urging Democrats to choose between mob rule and constitutional order, before the nation's democratic foundations are irreparably damaged 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 confusion surrounding Antifa and what he calls the “anti-foss stuff.” He argues that the modern-day Antifa movement in the United States is nothing like the original anti-fascist resistance groups of World War II. Instead, he describes today’s Antifa as a group of “LARPers” — people playacting as revolutionaries — who seek attention through chaos rather than real activism.

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about America’s global dominance and the underappreciated strength of the United States in 2025. Highlighting the country’s share of global GDP and unmatched military capabilities, he emphasizes that the U.S. remains the “indispensable nation.” Drawing from a piece by Frank Rodriguez, Brett explores America’s cultural and technological leadership, while criticizing China as a “bandit country” that steals innovations rather than creates them. He contrasts this strength with what he views as the self-defeating narrative of Democrats, who, he claims, blame America for global issues. Brett also targets figures like Greta Thunberg, J.B. Pritzker, and John Bolton, calling them irrelevant or misguided, and mocks media figures such as Dana Bash and John King for their past takes on Middle East policy and Donald Trump’s influence. We're joined by Michael Whatley from North Carolina to talk about the recent breakthrough in the Middle East hostage crisis and the broader implications for U.S. leadership under President Trump. Whatley, a candidate for the U.S. Senate, praised Trump’s use of American strength and diplomacy to secure the release of hostages from Hamas, calling it “the most transformative presidential term of our lifetime.” He also criticized Democrats for refusing to give Trump credit, despite global acknowledgment of his role. The conversation touched on Whatley’s support for Trump, the Medal of Freedom awarded to Charlie Kirk, and the importance of strong leadership in facing domestic and international challenges. Whatley also addressed concerns over the potential Schumer-led government shutdown, emphasizing the need for a Republican Senate to advance the America First agenda. Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about President Trump’s high-stakes trip to the Middle East and the successful release of 20 hostages—an event both call one of the most consequential moments of his presidency. They discuss the president’s energy, his deal-making prowess, and the behind-the-scenes efforts of key figures like Jared Kushner and Steve Whitcock. Bo also shares what he and the Good Morning BT team have coming up on tomorrow’s show, including an interview with Major General John Meyer about the recent Pentagon hack and national security concerns.

Tune in here to this Monday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the historic peace deal in the Middle East and the release of the remaining hostages from Gaza. He frames the moment as a major diplomatic win, attributing the success to former President Donald Trump’s leadership and deal-making abilities. Brett sharply contrasts this with President Biden’s foreign policy approach, blaming Biden for both the war in Ukraine and the October 7th Hamas attacks. He argues that Trump’s efforts, like the Abraham Accords, planted the seeds for peace and stability in the region. Later, Brett turns his focus to a recent exchange between Senator J.D. Vance and ABC's George Stephanopoulos. He plays a clip from the interview in which Vance defends the president’s constitutional authority, even in the face of potential Supreme Court rulings. The conversation centers on the limits of judicial power and executive authority, with Vance arguing that certain rulings could be considered illegitimate if they interfere with the president’s Article II powers. Stephanopoulos presses Vance on whether a president can defy the Supreme Court, Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

Tune in here to this Friday edition of the Brett Winterble Show. Brett and Pete Kaliner waste no time getting into the real conversations—starting with how talk radio operates under constant pressure from anonymous texts, organized trolls, and agenda-driven callers. They expose how digital feedback loops are manipulated, how trolls are tracked and blocked, and why most people have no idea how the system really works behind the scenes. Then the tone sharpens as they shift to Antifa—discussing how labeling, funding, and foreign influence intersect. Brett draws a clear parallel between political cover and foreign mediation, warning about the consequences of legitimizing extremist groups. They call out activists operating across borders, including one figure allegedly organizing support from overseas after fleeing the country. Later Brett breaks down a largely ignored but highly significant development: Melania Trump’s direct involvement in reuniting Ukrainian children with their families after being taken into Russia. Through quiet diplomacy and backchannel communication with Vladimir Putin, Melania reportedly helped return eight children—an effort launched with a personal letter delivered during Trump’s August summit. The media reaction? Silence from MSNBC and CNN, who instead focused on unrelated political headlines. Brett contrasts this with the broader issue of child trafficking, drawing parallels to the U.S. border crisis and the cartels’ exploitation of children.

Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict and the potential breakthrough in the hostage crisis. He expresses optimism about what he sees as the United States returning to a position of global strength, particularly under Trump’s leadership. Brett outlines the devastating toll of the war from October 2023 to October 2025, including 67,000 deaths in Gaza and 2,000 in Israel, as well as mass displacement and widespread destruction. He highlights the brutality of the October 7th attack and the humanitarian crisis that followed. Emphasizing the importance of separating the warring parties, he frames the current developments as a strategic turning point. Brett draws historical comparisons, arguing that the U.S. is now reasserting itself in a way not seen since past administrations. He presents the unfolding situation as both dangerous and promising, with the possibility of a long-term solution finally beginning to take shape.

Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the arrest of an Uber driver accused of starting the deadly Palisades fire and the broader implications of unchecked criminal behavior. He describes the suspect, Jonathan Wrenkernecht, in scathing terms, labeling him a “loser’s loser” and blaming him for the destruction of lives, homes, and even pets. Brett paints the fire as a symbol of societal decay, arguing that individuals like Wrenkernecht represent a broader cultural collapse driven by resentment and lawlessness. He questions why society tolerates such destructive behavior and passionately calls for harsher consequences for criminals, including permanent isolation from law-abiding citizens. We’re joined by Coach Matt Doherty from DohertyCoaching.com to talk about leadership, public safety, and the breakdown of law and order in American cities. Coach Doherty, a former basketball coach turned executive coach, emphasizes that safety is the foundation of a functioning society—without it, food, shelter, and prosperity mean little. In a wide-ranging conversation, he discusses the failures of leadership in places like Chicago and New York, the consequences of open-border policies, and the growing disconnect between political agendas and everyday citizens' needs. He also reflects on how social media fuels division and argues that civil, face-to-face dialogue is essential for national healing. Coach warns about the dangers of populism and blind trust in charismatic leaders promising “free stuff,” referencing failed states like Venezuela. He urges Americans to study history, demand strong leadership, and raise families rooted in Christian values and personal accountability.

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the excitement surrounding WBT Night in Kings Mountain and the patriotic atmosphere of the Liberty Mountain revolutionary drama. He highlights the community's enthusiasm, the $5 ticket opportunity, and the historical significance of the event, which coincides with the anniversary of the 1780 battle. Brett pivots to national politics, passionately defending Pam Bondi's performance during a congressional hearing. He sharply criticizes Senators Dick Durbin, Maisie Hirono, and Sheldon Whitehouse, accusing them of elitism, political hypocrisy, and disconnect from everyday Americans. We're joined by Jeremy Helmsley from Liberty Mountain to talk about his role as Major Patrick Ferguson and the powerful historical storytelling behind this live production. Dressed in a fully authentic British officer’s uniform, Jeremy gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the Battle of Kings Mountain, which took place on the exact date being commemorated. He explains how Ferguson, the lone British officer in the battle, led a loyalist militia against patriot forces in a fight that some call America’s first civil war. Brett and Jeremy also explore the accuracy of the reenactments, from the special effects to the live flintlocks, and the emotional impact the show has had on audiences—including students brought in for field trips. With multiple performances scheduled, Liberty Mountain offers an unforgettable experience that blends history, drama, and patriotism. It’s more than a show—it’s a chance to walk through the past and understand its weight on the present.

He highlights what he sees as a growing "states’ rights insurrection" led by Illinois officials, sharply criticizing Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. Brett argues that despite claims from Democratic leaders, undocumented immigrants are indirectly receiving taxpayer-funded benefits through emergency medical care, citing the EMTALA law. He supports his point with audio clips from media figures and politicians, contrasting their statements with his own interpretation of the facts. Brett emphasizes that the financial burden of uncompensated care falls on American taxpayers, not hospitals or physicians, and frames this as a deliberate failure of Democratic policy Later, Brett delivers a powerful monologue centered on the meaning of being an American—emphasizing the balance of privilege and responsibility that citizenship entails. He critiques progressive leaders and activists, accusing them of undermining core American values like freedom, civic duty, and respect for the rule of law. Brett argues that too many are seeking to divide the country while exploiting vulnerable populations, rather than uplifting them. He calls out officials like Brandon Johnson, J.B. Pritzker, and Gavin Newsom for what he sees as virtue signaling without real service or sacrifice. Highlighting values such as opportunity, justice, and pluralism, Brett urges listeners to reflect on their role in preserving the American Republic—not just benefiting from it.
