Brett kicks off the program with Pete Kaliner for this edition of The Hangover as they discuss the fast-evolving world of artificial intelligence, its risks, and its unexpected perks. The conversation starts lightheartedly with Pete explaining how he’s mastered cutting his own hair with clippers and guard guides, before shifting into the broader theme of technology and what it means for the future. Brett asks whether Pete fears AI, prompting Pete to admit he’s deeply concerned about a potential “singularity” moment where machines surpass human control.

Brett Is Joined by Breaking Brett Jensen to discuss the impending arrival of Customs and Border Protection agents in Charlotte and the political tension surrounding it. In their conversation, Jensen clarifies that contrary to public fears, this operation is not an ICE-style roundup but a targeted CBP mission focused on combating drug trafficking, gang activity, human trafficking, and identifying dangerous individuals who entered the country illegally. The agents—possibly 100 to 200—will only be in Charlotte for a few days before moving on to New Orleans for larger operations.

They explore scenarios involving autonomous robots, AI-driven warfare, and even the possibility of machines making strategic decisions humans might not like. Despite the ominous possibilities, Brett notes that AI can also produce surprisingly good music—like the new AI-generated country hit climbing the charts. The hour blends humor, curiosity, and a serious look at what tomorrow might hold.

Brett kicks off the program by talking about the reopening of the government and the struggles facing the Democratic Party. He highlights the relief of seeing the government back in operation after weeks of political gridlock and jokes about how exhausting it was to cover nonstop for more than a month.

Brett then shifts to criticizing Democratic leadership, arguing that the party is stuck between aging establishment figures and extreme radicals, leaving no functional middle. He notes that Senator John Fetterman stands out as an exception and praises him for engaging across the political spectrum

We’re joined by Michael Whatley, chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party and candidate for the U.S. Senate, to talk about the recent government shutdown and the direction of the Democratic Party heading into the next election cycle. Whatley criticized Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for prioritizing his political interests over the American people, calling the shutdown a self-inflicted crisis that hurt working families, soldiers, and law enforcement officers. He argued that Democrats have failed to learn from their 2024 election losses and continue to push an agenda out of step with most Americans.

Whatley also raised concerns about the “weaponization” of government agencies against political opponents and underscored the need for strong conservative leadership in Congress. He said he is running to be a reliable ally for President Trump and to ensure that North Carolina has a steadfast, conservative voice in the U.S. Senate.
