Tune in here to this Friday’s edition of the Brett Winterble Show!

Brett kicks off the program with Pete Kaliner for this fist 2026 edition of the Hangover as they discuss the political future of New York City under its new mayor and what early warning signs could mean for his long-term ambitions. The conversation breaks down how long sweeping progressive promises—like free buses and expanded city services—can survive economic reality, especially when crises such as snowstorms or infrastructure failures test basic governance.

Later Brett turns his focus to Iran, arguing that the country is approaching a historic breaking point with global implications. He outlines how Iran’s collapsing economy—marked by a plummeting rial, runaway inflation, shortages of food, energy, and water, and the resignation of key financial leaders—has ignited widespread unrest across major cities. What began as economic frustration, Brett explains, has evolved into a full-scale anti-regime movement, with protesters openly calling for freedom and the end of the Islamic Republic. He notes that the government’s restrained security response may signal cracks within the regime itself, as enforcement forces hesitate to turn violently on their own people. Brett connects this unrest to recent U.S. and Israeli actions against Iran’s nuclear capabilities, arguing they weakened the regime without triggering full-scale war.

The conversation breaks down how long sweeping progressive promises—like free buses and expanded city services—can survive economic reality, especially when crises such as snowstorms or infrastructure failures test basic governance.

Pete explains why a mayor’s ability to handle day-to-day operations may matter more to voters than ideology, and how failure itself can become a political strategy. The discussion then widens to the national stage, examining divisions within the Democratic Party, the absence of clear establishment leadership, and how figures like AOC fit into that power shift. Brett and Pete also analyze how President Trump may selectively engage, choosing battles that resonate with “normie” voters. The segment closes with a sobering discussion of a recent ISIS-related terrorism case, highlighting warning signs, family intervention, and broader concerns about online radicalization.

Brett kicks off the program by discussing America’s 250th anniversary, which will begin on the first day of 2026. He emphasizes that the nation’s success from its founding has been built on both leaders and leadership. To underscore that point, he reflects on George Washington, imagining what the first president might say to Americans today.

Brett delivers a monologue from Washington’s perspective, offering a message he frames as relevant to the current state of the nation heading into the new year. The monologue includes statements such as, “The dangers of your republic are no longer distant,” and, “Liberty cannot endure if truth becomes negotiable.” Brett presents the speech as an important message that is relevant to all Americans.

Brett also addresses the upcoming term of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who is set to be sworn in on New Year’s Day. He remarks that New York will be considered “conquered land,” since the city is now under the leadership of a Socialist mayor. Brett emphasizes that people across the country should pay attention to Mamdani’s tenure, citing that residents have relocated - and may continue to relocate - to Southern states during his time in office.

Brett kicks off the program by talking about his recent trip to Texas and the broader theme of personal freedom, He notes being surprised by the state’s 85-mile-per-hour speed limit on toll roads, framing it as an example of Texas’ trust in individual responsibility and contrasting it with what he describes as more restrictive states like California and New York. The discussion then shifts to international news, as Brett addresses renewed tensions between the United States and Iran. He responds to warnings issued by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, arguing that the U.S. has shown restraint while remaining prepared to defend its interests. Brett emphasizes that any aggression would be met decisively, while also pointing to unrest within Iran as evidence of a population seeking greater freedom.

Later Brett turns his focus to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and the fallout from a massive Medicaid fraud case, calling the situation deeply troubling and demanding accountability. Brett reacts to comments from Walz addressing the alleged loss of roughly $18 billion, much of it reportedly linked to fraudulent schemes with money sent overseas. He criticizes the governor’s remarks as deflecting blame and argues they raise more questions than answers about oversight and responsibility within state government. Brett contends that Walz minimized the scope of the scandal and failed to clearly explain how such a large amount of taxpayer money was allowed to be misused. He also highlights criticism from Republican lawmakers, including Texas Congressman Chip Roy, who questioned whether Walz could plausibly claim ignorance of the fraud. Throughout the segment, Brett argues that the controversy underscores broader concerns about government accountability, weak safeguards, and the need for constant scrutiny of large public spending programs.

Robyn Pfaffman, filling in on today’s edition of the show, discusses several timely topics, primarily focused on Democratic politics and recent actions by President Donald Trump. One recent development she highlights is Trump’s announcement that he will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at The White House on Sunday. On the Democratic side, Pfaffman explores the concept she refers to as “Democrat Mommy Makeovers.”

In reference to the "Mommy Makeovers", Pfaffman explains that she was recently watching CNN and observed former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg appearing on the network with a beard, which she suggests was intended to make him look older and more masculine. She also notes that Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker appeared slimmer in a recent CNN appearance, estimating that he has lost about 20 to 30 pounds.

Pfaffman is also joined by Newsmax host Todd Starnes, who weighs in on the current state of the Democratic Party. Starnes discusses several recent developments, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s potential presidential ambitions. He also names lawmakers he believes are exerting significant influence within the party, including Reps.
