It's the Brent Winterball Show. It's great to be with you. I am so esteemed to be spending time with you. Today, our telephone number, as always is 704-5701079. And, of course, you can want to send a missive to me. You can send a missive to me over at the WBT text line driven by Liberty Buick GMC. One of the things that I love, is the fact that so my wife is a teacher and I could never be a teacher. I have no ability to be a teacher. I would probably just hand out. $5 bills and pop rocks to the kids just to sit there and behave themselves, right? I don't know how you teach kids in this day and age. I don't understand it. I went through an entire set. of schooling, including college and then a little bit of something, something on the other side of that. And I don't understand how you teachers, how you teachers function. And as I said, I love my wife. I love talking to her about it. But I am absolutely petrified about standing in front of a room. with like, I don't know, 45 kids, 32 kids, 13 kids, whatever it's going to be. I mean, this is tough. This is rough. And I was listening to Pete when I was coming in, and he was talking obviously about all the stuff that's going on with these commies and how these comedies are trying to wreck our country and all this sort of stuff. I think the easiest, bestest, whatever you want to say. I think the best way to take back our country is to take back the schools. Because you can do it in a lot of different ways. You have a lot of options when you're doing this kind of thing, okay? Our schools are not suffering from a lack of resources or a lack of technology. They're suffering from a lack of teaching. Now, I'm not going after the teachers, but just follow me with this for a minute, okay? Just indulge me. Classrooms that were once places of knowledge have been turned into emotional obedience camps. where the kids are judged not by what they learned, but how well they performed the approved feelings of the day. We've replaced rigor with rituals, thinking with therapy, and education.

with emotional choreography. Do you doubt me? Tell me about that really qualified, super great superintendent here in Charlotte. Now, across the street from wherever that is, you see functioning... educational facilities in a variety of places. Go down park road. Go down park road. And guess what you get? You know what you get? You get instrumental education up and down that road. What are you talking about, Brett? Well, just look at the Catholic schools. Just look at the Baptist schools. Look at the schools that demand the ability to actually raise the standard. Students aren't mastering reading, writing, or math, but they can recite the language of the community norms on command. Heather has two mommies, whatever they're going to talk about with the trans, what else is going to be happening. Teachers are not empowered to teach. For goodness sakes. They barely get enough time to do the teaching, and then they got to fill out all the paperwork, and they got to go and have a calendar meeting, and look, we have to do this, and now it's suddenly a silly day, dress up like a silly person, and come on in, and that's how it's got to be. Look, I went to school. I see what it's like. Teachers are not empowered to teach. They're pressured to manage vibes. Can you believe this? And the system congratulates itself for supporting the whole child. The whole child. Well, if you're doing the whole child, can they read, write, or do arithmetic? while quietly presiding over the steepest academic declines in the United States in decades. This isn't compassion. This isn't progress. I want the teachers to be empowered to teach. This is mission drift on a national scale, and you want to wonder why you end up with a Zohran Mamdani? A Zohran Mamdani? I mean, my goodness, they are selling rope. They are selling rope to smoke.

to these people telling them, oh, we're going to give you $500,000. Everybody in New York City will get $500,000, and the money's going to come from the rich. Kids don't need another color-coded feelings chart. They need adults who will teach them how to think, not how to emote On cue, if a school can't deliver the basics, literacy, numeracy, critical thinking, then all the emotional programming in the world is just a distraction from failure. That's all it is. The crisis isn't the children. are struggling, the crisis is that the system is pretending that this is normal. I want every kid to be literate, I mean, to be able to do literacy, read, write, arithmetic, all that sort of stuff. We don't need any more of the nonsense. We have to save this group of kids, or we will be sunk. Imagine a doctor coming into the OR, or a doctor coming into post-op. And they say, well, how's Aunt Sally? Is she going to make it? Well, I don't know. I just hope she's comfortable. I can't tell you. I missed that day. Welcome back, Bremenable show. Great to be with you. Yeah, I will talk about, yes, I will talk about the stupid election from last night. Now, I listened to Pete. Pete was really good with his analysis. He was breaking all that sort of stuff down. But the reality is, I mean, come on. Let me just say this, okay? We are pretty safe where we are right now, unless you have a whole bunch of these people coming into our communities and suddenly trying to sell the nonsense that is communism. or socialism or whatever it is. But the reason why I wanted to start the conversation with, hey, you know what, these kids need to learn stuff. Like, for example, what do you think would happen? What do you think would happen? Hypothetically, do not do this, do not try this, do not do any of this at all, okay? What if you... were somebody who decided that they were going to feed people raw sushi, raw sushi made out of chicken. What do you think would happen to somebody if they ate that particular thing? What would you do?

You know, you know that you're not supposed to eat undercooked chicken, right? I mean, you don't want to have that sort of an experience, right? Because you could potentially die. You could hurt somebody. You could do all of that sort of stuff. Well, when you look at the commies and you look at all these other people telling you what's going on in this world, well, you've got to make a decision. And you have to make a decision and say, listen, am I going to affiliate with dopes or am I going to affiliate with people of a different sort of mindset? Everybody knows. Almost everybody knows that you can't eat, you cannot eat raw chicken. You're going to get sick. You're going to end up in the hospital. You're going to be experiencing a miserable thing. So let's think about that as what these people are trying to do. What these people are trying to do is to poison, right? The DSA, the dumb, stupid, I can't say the A. No, I can't say the A. I can't say what the A is. The DSA. The dumb, stupid, you know, you can't do that. But they're trying to sell poison. They're trying to sell poison in New York. They're trying to sell poison in other parts of the country. They're trying to sell poison because they believe that if you take the poison, you will get the remedy. And the remedy is not you being healthier or anything like that. It's about you being part of this cult. See, Zohran Mamdani is a cultist. That's what he is. He suddenly popped up coming out of Uganda, and he came to New York City, and he grew up in the lap of luxury with his family, with his incredible mother who has a whole lot of money, and his dad, who's like a really kind of odd dude, and he was going to be the next kind of thing. Thank God that... He's not able to be the president of the United States. It's not possible because he was not born in the United States. But when you think about the DSA, oh, we're going to fix all of this. Well, here's what has to happen now. You have to let the symptoms abide and go by the side. And you're going to be really, really sick once you start doing this kind of stuff. You have to do that. There's no shortcut on this. You want to eat raw chicken? All right. Eat raw chicken. You're going to get really sick. And it's going to be ugly. And it's going to be the worst possible thing. The question at that stage of the game is, are you going to eat it again? Are you going to eat it again? Are you going to eat it again? See, the danger.

with this group of people, the danger with this group of people, is that you have people that have now taken it to 11. Because once upon a time, it was just the DSA. But now it's the DSA brought to you by Hamas. That's what's going on. So that's the enforcement part. You can go around and you can tell people, look, hey, join the DSA, join the DSA, join the DSA. And the people say yes, they say no, whatever it is, you know, once fooled, twice, you know, fired or whatever. But here's the thing. What happens with the, from the river to the sea? We have to go after APEC. We have to go after all these other people. What they're doing is they're othering. They're othering American people in the city of New York. And what are they doing? They're othering them. They're saying you're not worthy to walk the streets, to buy a coffee, to do any of that sort of stuff. And that is not an American value. What that value is is what you saw on that horrible day three years ago, all right? That's what you're seeing. That's what you're seeing. You're seeing the next iteration of all of this, and it is not in any way, shape, or form. good for the American body politic. We have to go house by house, move by move, and persuade people to give up the poison. Because that is what Zohran Mamdani is offering you.

So I got to tell you a story about this song. So a couple of days ago, the guy. Came up to me. And he goes, what's that song that you play with the warbling? And I'm like, the warbling? What warbling? And he says to me, I need sanctuary. And I'm like, oh, oh, you're talking about this song.

What's the song called? And I had to write it on an index card because he didn't trust himself. So I think his name was Joe. There you go, man. I mean, there's a lot of like emotion that's attached to things. And, you know, you go on there. And it's just really cool. I just love, I love our audience. Our audience is incredible. People will pick up, like, unbelievable stuff, like small things. And then they'll come up to you and they'll go, what was that song called? Brenda from South Carolina says, Brett, I don't understand how kids are learning this crap. Can you tell me? No, it's very easy. They're being indoctrinated. That's why I used the analogy of, like, don't eat raw chicken. You don't want to eat raw chicken. Eat raw chicken. You're going to get incredibly sick. Don't ever do it. Not now, not ever. But the fact of the matter is, people with underhanded sort of approaches will do whatever they can to do what they got to do to you and to do what they're going to do to you. Dan from San Diego says, Brett, I remember not too long ago, the radicals in Portland took over a whole street. Oh, yes, they did in the downtown area and claimed it as their own property. Yeah, that was the Chaz. Remember the Chaz? The Chaz and that poor kid, he got killed. Remember, one of those people killed the guy. He was like a young, goofy kid that got lost his life because some psycho decided to stab him. So they called it their own property, and they did put up the security checkpoints. Yeah, but we couldn't have any security checkpoints at our border. Either of the borders. Nobody will be let in unless they approve. Yes, that's what they were doing. They were taking the appropriation of their stuff and they did it with the Chad. The Chas. The Chaz, the Chad. Chaz? I think that's what that was. I think it was Chaz. The Chaz. That's what it was. The Chaz. That's what it was. Okay, I'm going to take you back to the battle of days, okay? Because this is something that I think you're going to appreciate. It's going to fluster you, okay? I just want to tell you in advance. I don't want to make you mad in the car. I don't want to make you mad anywhere. But I'm taking you back to a flashback. 2021, right on the positioning of... Majorcas, you guys remember Alejandro Mayorkas, who was our border czar? I know, I know, Kamala Harris was the border czar, but this guy was in charge of the border. And I'm just going to let you hear this. Do you understand the bullet we dodged?

with Donald Trump getting elected again. Listen to this. Cut number 10, Mayorkas is talking. Go. USAID already has launched a series of new initiatives to promote good governance and expand opportunities that will enable the people of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to build better futures in their home countries. This includes. the region-wide $5 million regional challenge to advance gender equality. In Honduras, nearly $24 million to expand employment opportunities and promote civic and election participation and integrity. In El Salvador, nearly $12 million to help small businesses recover from the impact of COVID. as well as new multi-year solicitations for up to $115 million to address crime and violence, including gender-based violence, and provide opportunities to youth and others. In Guatemala, more than $19 million to strengthen anti-corruption efforts. These are but a few of the examples of the efforts that are already underway. How about that? We're pouring out all that money to make El Salvador better, to make Honduras better, to make Nicaragua better, whatever it was going to be. And what did we end up with? A whole bunch of people coming across the border that were not vetted. The doors were flying wide open, wide open. But here's the thing. The guy that runs El Salvador now is a partner with the president of the United States. And that part of the neighborhood is very, very safe now. You don't have the MS-13 stuff going on. You don't have any of that at all. Our border is secured. Our border is secured at the northern border, and the border is secured at the southern border. But did you hear all that money that was getting parsed out? All of that money, make it rain, make it rain, make it rain. I mean, it's incredible. And yet, and yet, the next group of these people who are going to be coming in are potentially just a matter of, you know, 30 months away. If you end up with the wrong kind of buckaroo, if you realize that we're going to open up the border again, then what are we going to do? Because the really dangerous thing is this. You have the DSA. You have all of that stuff that's going on. And can you imagine if you had somebody like Gavin Newsom become the president of the United States or Kamala Harris is the president of the United States or anybody like that? Brandon Johnson as the president of the United States. What does that look like? Wide open borders. There is nobody that is illegal.

There is no ice that should be legal. Yaddy, yada, yaddy. I mean, think about that. What does that look like? You know what it looks like. It looks like a fever dream from a very red place. A very red place. Intergalactic planetary. So what happened with all the algae people? The algae people seem to not be on the news anymore. What's going on with the algae people? With the people who were trying to destroy the incredible viewing area. What is that all about? I mean, I haven't heard that all day. There's nobody's talking about this today. They're just talking about the DSA. I think they did, I think they labeled themselves the wrong way because it should be the SAD, the sad. You see these folks, socialists are always sad. They're not like jolly, holly jolly sort of people. They're just really angry and we're going to force you to do this kind of stuff. But then all of a sudden, this storyline just disappeared. It just went away. Nobody's talking about that anymore. Why not? I thought that was the big thing. I thought that was the big outrage. Well, we understand what this is. Because this is going to be a one-day story. I'm telling you right now, it's going to be a one-day story. Give me cut number one, if you could. Van Jay Jones, the Democratic Party is crashed. What? Cut one, please go. Well, New York City matters because the two most exciting left-wing candidates are here, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Mombauny, but also this is the stronghold for the establishment, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. This is a battle between the establishment and this insurgency, and the roof is collapsing on the Democratic Party establishment tonight. If Zohran Mamdani gets a hat trick, three out of three, this is a new era for the Democratic Party. And you can't write off New York City because this is the place where both, it's a power center for the establishment and the insurgency. And they're going head to head tonight. And right now, this is no longer a movement, this is a movement and a machine at the same time. And there's just no way to sugarcoat this. If Zohran Mamdani pulls off the hat trick... is a new era in Democratic Party politics. Well, and if you're a moderate Democrat who's on the election, who's on the ballot this November van, I mean... They're all going to get asked about the positions that we're hearing from these other fellow Democrats. Well, look, I think, you know, from our frontline Democrats will be able to make their case for themselves. I think they'll be able to do okay. We've got a lot of national security Democrats in other parts of the country. But this is a big deal tonight. And I think that, look, I don't know what you want me to say here. It's a straight up battle.

I don't think that's an effective play. I think you're going to have a tough time when you go run up against the governor of the state of Illinois. You're going to have a real problem. You're going to have a real problem. And at some point, Chuck Schumer's done. And, you know, the rest of the leadership are done. The... The people who are in charge are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at all, just like Scott Jennings said. And now that's what you have to carry the fight to. You have to say, listen, are you willing to build a coalition or are you going to just become somebody who is a hater? I don't know. It's going to be difficult. You know, time is tied, baby. Welcome back. It's the Brett Witterball show. I need you to remind me, Nick. I need you to remind me in the next hour, on the back end of the next hour. I need you. Now, some of you people may or may not be familiar with this. If you are familiar with this, I am, I'm in awe. Because I don't think... What is Toyota affordability? It's buying smart. Right now, your local Toyota dealer has great deals available on some of the most reliable trucks on the market, like the off-road ready to coma, rugged full-sized tundra, and legendary forerunner, each with the space, tech, and features to handle it all, from the work site to the trails.

Seven people saw this movie once upon a time. Shakes the clown. Okay? Because that's all I'm going to say. I'm putting a note here that I need to talk about shakes the clown because it's a perfect analogy. for everything that these silly people that are not serious about our country are doing. It's really remarkable. And I will talk about that at the...

at the other side of the hour, next hour. Coach Doherty's going to be joining us about 435, 445. He's going to hang out with us for a little bit. We're going to talk about all this great stuff, all the celebrations that are happening. I think it's absolutely fantastic. But let me just take you to a place that I think is so great. I just think this is a great, great sort of a pull. Alan Dershowitz went on Newsmax, and he said he's going to sue the coffee shop over the Israeli ban. Now, he's got heavy stuff. And this is the guy that understands that, yeah, you know what? We should probably test this in the courts. Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax that he intends to sue a New York City coffee shop that banned Dan Goldman due to his support for Israel. Appearing Tuesday on the record with Greta Van Sustrin, the Harvard Law School professor Emeritus or Emeritus blasted. Brooklyn-based Poetica coffee after the business publicly declared Goldman unwelcome and refunded his purchase that he made during his time with his daughter. So you can't do that. You can't say, hey, your politics do not allow. Remember what was all going on back in the day? Way, way, way back when they were trying to get. all crazy and, you know, getting all those cakes. People were walking in and saying, I demand a cake, I demand a cake. No, I don't believe in making that cake. I'm not going to give you that cake. Remember all that sort of stuff, right? The controversy has already drawn federal attention. The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division announced that it has opened an investigation into whether Poetica Coffee violated federal and anti-discrimination laws after publicly stating it would have refused service to Goldman because of his support for Israel. Now, that is the single dumbest thing that they could have said. Right? If he just said, I don't like you, get out. You're out. But he had to go that extra mile. He had to go that extra mile and say, we're doing this because you support Israel. So as a consequence, they talked themselves right into a couple of tough sort of situations here. The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division is involved with this now. Federal law prohibits public accommodations such as coffee shops from discriminating against patrons based on their race, their religion, or national origin? Dershowitz argued that the incident reflects a broader rise in anti-Israel and anti-Semitic sentiments.

You know, I mean, we've seen all those videos from the, from Kristallnock and all that, and they were, they would point, they would put, you know, Juden on, on the buildings saying, you know, don't, you can't go in there, you're not allowed. I mean, this is a really ugly thing. Had that guy kept his mouth shut, he wouldn't be famous now, and now he's famous. And you had a whole bunch of people earlier today saying, listen, this is terrible. It's awful. We're not going to, you know, we're not going to patronize you anymore. That's what they're doing. And so when you kind of look at that is really, I mean, it's an incredible, it's an incredible thing. Scott Bessent, you guys know, that's my man crush. And I'm not, and I'm proud. to be one of my guys. I mean, this guy is a good dude. He says the U.S. GDP can return to 3% by year end. That's nice. That is nice. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. expressed confidence Wednesday that the U.S. economy can get back on the path to 3% growth again as the Iran war nears its conclusion. We can have something like a 3 in front of it this end of this year. Growth, however, has been slow over the past two quarters. It's because we were at war, and you had a whole bunch of other people not feeling the goodness that we have. And so as a consequence, you know what? Scott Bessent says he can reiterate that his 333 plan is still in reach, 3% growth, 3% deficits. to GDP and 3 million barrels per day increase in the domestic oil production. Well, I'll buy into it. I'm ready. I'm good. What say you? By the way, oh boy, got a comment. Nick, this is quite something. Jamie. Jamie says, shakes the clown is the greatest alcoholic clown film ever made. That is a very niche place. That is super niche. Is it true? I don't know. No, don't spoil it. Don't spoil it. Don't spoil the ending. Don't do it. It's not going to happen. The DSA is Shakes the Clown.

Welcome. Hour number two. Coming up at the bottom of this hour, we will be joined by Coach Dorothy. I'm always excited to have conversations with him. Let's jump out and say hello to Alana. Alana, how are you? Okay, Brad. How are you doing? I'm... Oh, I'm good. I'm good. You know what? I'm doing everything that I love so much. Yeah, you know, I want to talk about, you know, what happened in New York and, you know, how our culture changed. I just, you know, talk with your screener, and I said, you know, in Europe, I just read a watch yesterday, the EU in Brazil. They now, many of them shifting to the right, nationalist, conservative. Europe is really waking up after having... the flood of the immigrants, you know, from Syria and all these Middle East, Algeria, Libya. Now they just passed a law to take them and kick them out of Europe. They have 50 million migrants in Europe. 50 million? Yes, yes. And they are fed up with them. They don't want them in the country. They really took over their country. It's like a parallel, you know, culture because they don't assimilate. They just want invade you from inside. So they had enough of it. They see their culture falling apart, even though, you know, before when this lady from Italy, you know, was voted in, she started kicking them out and everybody, you know, ostracizes her, but now they're doing exactly what the people want. It will take them a long time, but they opened their eyes. And America is the last gate of the West. And I remember, I don't know if you know, about Gibriette Gabriel, she came from Lebanon. Yes. And she was coming here and teaching all the congressmen about what is Islam. She's a Christian, I believe. And she came here to, you know, Charlotte, to Temple Israel. I remember a few, many years ago, maybe 10 years ago. And she talked, and we understand because we are from this area. And I'm really worried about now what happened in New York and now like a Nazi Germany. You're not allowed being here like, you know, this Goldman guy. And it's coming, crawling. And these people are not going to assimilate. We have to be not our late. We have to do it now. We have to really keep our country safe and free. Everybody can, you know. practice is a religion and is freedom, but those people are not going to give up. They are going, they have a mission. They're going according to the religious servant. Right now they are serving with the left, but with God forbid when they will think that they are strong.

You know, it will be a set time for America. Well, okay, so going back to the European model, right, what they were doing. So a long, long time ago, I spent time in Maastricht back when they were trying to do the... you know, the unification of all the countries in the aftermath of the Cold War, right? And so one of the things that I thought was interesting, I talked to a professor that was a European professor, and he said to me at that time, so this would have been 1990, okay, so 1990. The professor said... The only reason why they're going to bring people in is because the upper class needs cheap labor. And remember, that also sort of started to happen here in the United States, where we would, when Clinton was president, he was doing that same sort of thing. They were trying to bring in cheap labor, and they were trying to hollow out all of these folks. And back in that time, the unification. was just barely happening. And what you saw was a lot of people in Eastern Germany did not want to have cheap labor coming in from the Middle East or any other place like that, Africa, whatever it was going to be, because they felt that there was going to be a depression of wages. Now, everybody can live together, right? We live in the United States. We can have a nice... living wage and all this kind of stuff and we can do what we want to do. But once you start to bring in a whole lot of people, like you just said, 50 million people, you can't assimilate. They have to go someplace else. Now, I don't know where they're going. I have a couple of ideas, but, you know, when you think about all of this, this is a really big deal, Elana. It is, but they will have to send them back to wherever they came. You know, they came Algeria, they came from Syria, they came from Turkish, they came from Egypt, they come from all over the place. They have 50, you know, Muslim, Islam countries. There is no short of countries that they can go. And they did say also something that Donald Trump did about the immigrants. He said if their country doesn't want them, they're going to put them in a third country. And that's what they said, too. If they don't want to go back to their country, they're going to put them in a third country.

That is not their origin. See, I think that's a mistake because I think you should repatriate them back to their country of origin. Because if you could wind up with a real crisis like they were doing in East Germany back then, right? People were rioting. They were breaking stuff. They were doing things like that. I think the best and the most important thing is to go back to your original country. And then go file the paperwork, try to be an asylee, do all that sort of stuff. But we can't, it's like saying, hey, I can make you a giant pizza, Alana. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to make the pizza and I'm going to cut. the pizza in half, and then I'm going to cut it in half again, and I'm going to cut it in half again, and then in half again. And I'm going to say, look, isn't this great? Look at how many pieces of pizza you have. But that's not what it is. You're just getting the same amount of pizza. It's just slender, and that's bad. That's right. And they're going to impact your culture, if you like it or not. I mean, with these masses of people, they will impact your country. I'm really sad, you know, because at the beginning when America got all these immigrants from Europe, they vet them, then they closed the gate for 10 years, let them assimilate in the culture and build themselves, and they were enthusiastic. They love America, the freedom, the business and everything that they could do. And then they opened the gate again. But, you know, I think they believe Reagan. when the Democrat sheet and they gave MSP to 3 million people. And then they said, we are not going to do it anymore in the light, as we know. That's right. And they opened the gate again. And, you know, now it seems like beyond any control. Simpson Mazzoli was that act. That's what it was called. Simpson Mazzoli. And that's exactly right. The President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, got buffaloed, and it was a really bad thing. Thank you. so much for being on the show today alana i always love talking to you this speech is my recital i think it's very vital to rock around that's right on time here we go it's tricky to rock around to rock around that's right on time it's tricky it's tricky You know what that means? We've got the coach, Matt Norrie, joining us here. It's great to have you back, Coach. Thanks so much for spending a little bit of time for us. Thanks so much. Oh, thanks, Brett. I always love being on the show. You know that. Oh, I know. And we do as well with you.

I got a question for you. Once upon a time, we had the 1976 celebration, right? It was the bicentennial, and people were really happy and it was awesome and there were great things happening. Now, We move along the road, and now we've got another one. This is going to be incredible. 250, 250. Boy, we don't look like we've aged today. Your thoughts on this, and how excited are you for all of the celebrations that are going to be happening? Yeah, it's, you think back, like, 250 years. is not a long time, you know, when you think about generations and the, you know, history of our country compared to other countries, right? You go travel to Europe and, you know, you see a building that's a thousand years old. Right. 750 years old. You're like, oh, my gosh. And... To think what really is awe-inspiring to me is that a bunch of men and women came together and decided to break away from Britain and state their independence. And they risked everything. You know, fame, fortune. And even their lives, their homes. And yet they believed in this purpose and this cause. And they were resourceful as heck, because they didn't have the ammunitions and, you know, the technology, so to speak, that the Brits did. But they were, boy, oh, boy, they scrappy and smart. And they won. And as a result, they created a country and a republic based on principles that were well thought out. Like, well-thought. What is Toyota affordability? It's buying smart.

Like, when you create a deal, a contract, you think of, try to think of unintended consequences. They thought, they were smart. They thought about all these unintended consequences, you know, about tyrannies and guns and, you know.

you know, three parts of the government and making sure that there was no king. Right. You know, and there was veto powers and things like that. And, you know, people can say all they want and they can hate our country, but boy, oh boy, it is the best country in the world. And thank God for the men and women who came together and fought as one against Britain. It's really absolutely right on. It is so important because what I always go back to, Coach, is, okay, so we're sending you the breakup letter, right? We're going to put this on a boat, and it's going to go for a month to get over to England, and then they're going to read it, and then they're going to look at it. And then they're going to come back. And we didn't know if they got it. They didn't know what it was. But then suddenly we found out, yeah, we got it. They came back. We got it. I mean, it's not like we couldn't FedEx it. We couldn't do any of that kind of stuff. Right. It was, hey, anybody heard from the king yet? Oh, geez. I mean, I want to go to the Hamptons, but I don't know. I don't want to get blown up. I mean, this is, I mean, that's, you'd have to wait. And then suddenly you look in the harbor and you go, oh, God, what are we doing? I mean, it's like a Joe Biden moment. Yeah, you know, this would be a great Nathan, Nate Bargotsky, you know, on SNL because he does the great George Washington. Yes. But it's true. Like, we take it for granted. Like, send an email. Yeah. You know, send a text. Yep. You know, King, we're out. Right. You know. Right. You know. Right. Yeah. So let me... Yeah, and just, you know, to think, like, having grown up in New York and Long Island, you watch these shows, the documentaries, and where the Brits came in, the Long Island Sound, and how there was a lady on the north shore of Long Island that would hang laundry to notify George Washington's men that the Brits were coming, or it was safe. And, you know, the moves in the darkness of night. And, you know, I walked on those lands. You know, I grew up on those lands. Sure. And to think that people were hung there and fought there. And it really wasn't that long ago. But, boy, you know, times have changed, obviously, in a lot of fronts. But it's still, you just don't want people to forget, but people forget. People don't study history. They don't understand history. And then you see what goes on in our New York City with the left of the left. Like, even the Democrats are upset at, you know, the results, even though their party technically won. But basically, you know, people saying the socialist one, well, really, I'd say the communist one.

When you go out to celebrate the 250th, are you going to go to any kind of a designated place or anything like that? Because it's important for us to continuously refresh ourselves about the importance of America. Well, I have... I am going to, and through an introduction, an opportunity you gave me by attending the... the event that Jim Caviesel spoke at. Oh, yeah. Jim, Jim and I have gotten to be friendly, and he invited me up to the 250-year salute of America. He is in the program and be doing the part about films, and this show will be eventually aired on CBS. I don't know if it's live or not. So, you know, first I said, no, my daughter's coming to town. And my wife and my daughter, but you got to go, you know. Of course. And so, yeah, VIP, you know, kind of treatment. And to be there and just think of the flyovers on the lawn and the speakers and the fireworks. The real, you know, I mean, I'm not going to be around. I'd like to think I'd be around for 300, but I'm not going to take my chances on it. I'm going to 2.50. I'm going to 2.50. Too fitty. Too fitty. Too fitty in the city. In the city. All right. Coach. You're a coach. Where do people go to connect with you and do your thing? Yeah. They go to my website, dohertycoaching.com, D-O-H-E-R-T-Y coaching.com, or email me at Matt at dohertycoaching.com to learn more about keynote talks, workshops, and executive coaching. I really appreciate you making time for us. Enjoy the grand celebration. And, Coach, you're one of my favorite people in the entire world, and I can't wait to hang out with you again real soon. You're a great American, Brett. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Coach Dardy!

Next hour is going to be just spectacular. I'm telling you that right now. Thanks again for the coach coming by. We always love the coach. The coach is always a man of good, good stuff. I like it a lot. I want you to hear this. This is going to be cut number nine. Donald Trump on no nukes for Iran. Cut number nine, please. Since 1979, the clock's been ticking. Iran has killed Americans every year for 47 years. 160 dead. Hostage has been killed. 180 attacks from Iran on Americans. Past presidents appeased Iran. 1.7 billion dollars in cash to Iran. Refused to enforce sanctions. While Iran pursued nuclear weapons. Could make 11 nuclear bombs. Missiles that could soon reach the American homeland. Imminent production of a nuclear weapon. Too close for comfort. When will Iran have a nuclear weapon? Never. Thank you, President Trump. Okay, this is important. Because if you go back in time... Go all the way back. And we have a lot of veterans in our midst. But when you go back there and you think about all of these people who lost their lives, we had peacekeepers in Lebanon. They were peacekeepers. They were international peacekeepers. Not trying to invade, not trying to fight a war, not trying to do any of that sort of stuff. But when you go back and you think about how many thousands of people lost their lives because of the Iranian menace, it's unbelievable. I'm not even including people like the station chiefs. for different business, not businesses, but station chiefs for our political stuff that we were doing and things like that. You know, one of the things that people forget, and this is something that a lot of people don't remember. So you guys know who Steve Kerr is? Who's Steve Kerr? What does he do? Basketball coach. His father... was murdered by the Iranians. They murdered him. He was an academic. He was an academic teaching and doing things like that. And they decided, you know what we're going to do? We're going to grab this guy and we're going to kill him. Now, Donald Trump may not be your cup of tea. Donald Trump may be something that, you know, you don't like or whatever that is. But for goodness sakes,

Tell me who you'd rather have leading the country. Okay, leading the country. I'm going to give you two possible people. Okay, Zohran Mamdani or Donald Trump. How does that go? Donald Trump may not be your cup of tea. But a lot of times, you need the medicine that has to happen because nobody wanted to do it in the past. We're talking about... decades and decades and decades of murders. I mean, I could name a number of these people. Robert Stedom. Look up Robert Stedom. He was a Navy diver, and he was on TWA 874, and he was just going home. And they murdered him, and through his body... off the airline in public view. This man was a good man. I remember a lot of these names because it was so scary in the 1980s. You were like, oh, my God, I don't know. Are we going to be safe if we get on an airplane? What are we going to do? How is this going to be? And it was because of the malign group in the Iranian brigades and all of that sort of stuff. These guys did not play. They did not return people. They would kill them. They would do whatever they were going to do. And it was absolutely horrific. You know on the 874, on that hijacking? The hijackers were told that they wanted the people. who were the stewardesses and the flight attendants. And they said, we want you to gather all of the passports. And we want you to pull out the Jews that are on the flight. And you want to know what happened? The woman that they tasked her with was a German. And she said, I cannot possibly pull Jewish people out. I'm a German. You're only like 30 years from the attack. And Flight 847? I mean, my God, we should still remember this. The world is a dangerous place. We need dangerous people. to keep our people safe. Give you fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire. Welcome back. Brent Winterbull Show. Hour number three, it is great to be with each and every one of you. I always like it. It's awesome and it's wonderful. Let me go over to this because I think this is something that we have to pay close attention to. So you've got all of these people clamoring about how they won this big thing with the DSA. And the DSA is, okay, it's the middle of the country.

No, it's not. It's New York City. It's not the middle of the country. There are people who are thinking that, oh my gosh, we are in for it. What are we ever going to do? Well, let me give you a little bit of a chippy shot that I think you should hear. This is cut number seven, all right? This is Adrian Elrod. She's a Democrat operator who, I think she's pretty much like a moderate person on the left. And she's a little bit worried about what's coming next after Zohran Mamdani. Cut number seven, go. Right? I mean, the bottom line is New York City is not America, and that's what we're seeing play out across the country. Because to your point, Joe... Well, it's America. Last night in New York... Three Democratic Socialists did prevail in some of these very heavily contested primaries. But at the end of the day, that is not America. Let's not forget. You just mentioned the Mike Lala race. Kate Conley won the Democratic primary in that seat. That's New York 17. That is in the state of New York, not the city of New York City. But we are seeing some really strong national security candidates with some really strong backgrounds that in other places where you're not seeing this super progressive wing of the party take over the Democratic... party in that respective area, you're seeing those candidates prevail. So, well, Donnie's exactly right. Republicans are going to try to brand us as the Democratic Socialist Party. They're already doing that. They're going to say we're the party of Zohran Mamdani or the party of anti-symbitism. Those things are not true. You are seeing a very strong Zohran Mamdani coalition being built and endorsed and win in New York City. But that is New York City. It is a tiny part of America. That is not what you're seeing Democrats do across the country and other primaries. Pretty big part of America, if I may. Well, yes, I mean, it is the largest city in America, but it's not, you know. Understood. I mean, come on. Come on. That's the pool boy, just chiming it in. He's just a little bit. We're just, you know, we're really important place. Now, here's the problem. All right. Anybody can win three seats in New York City. Anybody can do it. You just get everybody ginned up, you get them out there, running around, all that sort of stuff. There's no, there's no sort of skill in this regard. But, but how you're going to be when you go out there and you have to try to sell this slop? to the people in the middle of the country. Now, I'm not talking about the south side of Chicago right by where Barack Obama's setup is. No, no, no, no. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about going out there and walking up to somebody at a Walmart.

or walking up to somebody, getting, you know, whatever you want. Whatever, you're going to get some food. You're going to get something like this. And you're going to have somebody walk up to you and be like, hey, do you want to join the Democrats, Socialists of America? Now, that's not going to work. Well, what do you got for me? Well, we want to raise your taxes and we want to get rid of ice and we want to have illegals all over the place and we want them to be able to vote. And of course, there's a number of other things that we'll tell you about later after you sign on the line which is dotted. That's what this is. They won three seats in... New York City on an off year. What is this? Oh, they won. They mean something. They're incredible. They're going to be right there at the last moment. It's not going to happen. You're not going to be running around in Montana. You're not going to be running around in Iowa. You're not going to be running around with all this other stuff. What this is is scoop up these three seats so that we can show that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is still a contender. That's all this is. Nothing more, nothing less. And so when you see these people on the cable channels going, oh my gosh, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable. Here. Van Jay Jones, cut one. Let's hear this one again, okay? Number one go. Well, New York City matters because the two most exciting left-wing candidates were here, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Zohran Mamdani, but also this is the stronghold for the establishment, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. This is a battle between the establishment and this insurgency, and the roof is collapsing on the Democratic Party establishment tonight. If Zohran Mamdani gets a hat trick, three out of three. What is Toyota affordability? It's buying smart. Your local Toyota dealer has great deals available today on RAV-4, Grand Highlander, Camry, and Corolla, with the features and style you deserve. It means driving for less, with hybrid and plug-in hybrid options across the lineup, delivering great MPGs. And it means trading for more. Toyota is known for building long-lasting vehicles, meaning your car will hold its value for years to come. Shop Toyota.com to find out more. Toyota, let's go places. This is a new era for the Democratic Party. And you can't write off New York City because this is the place where both, it's a power center for the establishment and the insurgency. And they're going head to head tonight. And right now, this is no longer a movement. This is a movement and a machine at the same time.

And there's just no way to sugarcoat this. If Zohran Mamdani pulls off the hat trick is a new era in Democratic Party politics. Well, and if you're a moderate Democrat who's on the election, who's on the ballot this November van, I mean... They're all going to get asked about the positions that we're hearing from these other fellow Democrats. Well, look, I think, you know, from our frontline Democrats will be able to make their case for themselves. I think they'll be able to do okay. We've got a lot of national security Democrats in other parts of the country. But this is a big deal tonight. And I think that, look, I don't know what you want me to say here. It's a straight up battle. between the establishment and the insurgency and the establishment is getting its butt kick tonight in New York City. In New York City. In New York City. So you have the disgruntled and then you have the gruntled. Now, the reality is, when you're talking about this kind of thing, a lot of these people, I don't know if you watched them, cooks, a lot of kookery, a lot of kookery, not mainstream sort of stuff. This is all, you know, basically put in there for that poetic place where the guy was run out of there, Dan Goldman. I mean, this is, this is, this is niche. It's niche. You'll see this in San Francisco. You'll see this up with Katie Watson up in Seattle and all those other places. But I'm just telling you right now, the cooks are coming out. You can always rouse the cooks. You can always rouse the disgruntled. But the real test is, can you raise up the gruntled? That's the question. I'm Brett Witterball. Let's head on over to my good friend, Pam La Jam on the roads. What's going on? We need it. Well, you know, traffic really hasn't been causing too much trouble this afternoon leading straight into the evening. They've been fairly light on the wrecks checking in, and that's good news. Now, we do have here in the university area, 600 block, Rocco Road. It is for a hit and run. Now, Pecan Avenue at North Causewell for a fender bender, Ballantine Commons Parkway at Ray Road. They've got another minor accident. And Westbrookshire Freeway, North Graham Street, that one checking in with injuries. It is being tended to by police officials. They're going to work that out of the way as quickly as they can. and we're going to see some slowdowns, 45 on the interside slowing from 77 north, the ramp from 77 north all the way through to West Boulevard. They're going to struggle between 15 and 25. We do also have traffic slowing. Gaston County, 85 southbound from San Wilson Road through to Little Rock Road. Those are trending in just under 20 and 85 northbound on the other side of town here from Jeff Adams Drive through to Statesville Avenue. Those are just under 20 there as well.

Thank you so much for your service, and may God bless you. Very excited about this. I love, in all seriousness, if I'm doing my big three, if I'm doing my big three on holidays, Okay? It's tough. Fourth of July. I'm not saying it's number one, but I think it probably is number one. Number two, Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving. Now, are you noticing why I'm doing this? You don't have to bring a gift. You can blow up all the stuff you want. You can eat all the stuff you want. Most people do bring a dish or a bottle of wine or whatever, something like that. Now, my three, the three is tough. That three spot is... So I'm going to call it Christmas Easter.

I'm just going to meld them together right there. Because I, you know, those are my holiday. I love those holidays. But I really love Fourth of July, Independence Day. And, of course, I like, you cannot like, you cannot not like, whatever that is. When it comes to Thanksgiving, we should be always giving Thanksgiving. By the way, anybody remember how that first one went? Hey, you know, those socialists, communists. Okay, they're not communists, but they were in there and they're going, oh, my gosh, look at this. Let's just take all this to do whatever we want to do with this. All right. Ian and Dr. Nina, when Rush introduced us to Van Jay Jones. Jay Jones was an avowed Marxist. He's considered moderate now? I don't think he's moderate at all. He's on CNN. Have you, has any of you guys watched CNN in the last, I don't know, two, three weeks? There is a definite sort of a pivot that is happening there on CNN. There's something there that is coming. There's something that is afoot. It feels to me like the folks that are over at CNN are trying to audition for MS now. That's all I'm saying. That's that's that's all I'm saying. I'm not, you know, I'm not doing anything. It's one of those deals. Let's talk a little bit about some of the chicanery that goes on here. Not here, not at the station. But certainly, let's take a look at some of the stuff that's going on. There are fake IRS letters targeting Charlotte residents with tax refund scams. Have you heard about this? Yeah. Renee Klein, who lives in Charlotte, received a letter. It appeared to come from the IRS. The message told her to scan a QR code and submit bank account details. Oh, go take a walk. You ain't going to do that. Renee Klein, who lives in Charlotte, received a letter. It appeared to come from the IRS. The message told her to scan the QR code. Do not do that. and submit bank account details for a tax refund deposit. No, no, no, no, no. Klein dodged the scam because she knows no refund was coming her way. I wasn't getting a refund. So they didn't need my bank account. That was the only reason that I actually stopped and said, this doesn't seem legit. She said, according to WSOC TV, spotting these fraudulent letters has gotten trickier. Why? Well, the actual IRS has been sending out similar notices, a 2025 executive order, ended paper checks, which pushed the agency to mail letters, requesting banking details for the direct deposit.

It's absolutely ripe for scammers these days. It is a way to access banking information, tax attorney. Jess Ladane said, you don't want to do this. If they want to try to do this, do not fall for it. They're going to scam you. Do not do it. They're going to scam you. Do not do it. Especially on a notice like this. where the information is the agency, right? They're saying, oh, yeah, no, let's just go ahead and do this. That's going to be fine. No, it's not. Do not fall for this. Tell your people. Tell your people that there's a lot of this stuff going around. These folks, you know what's interesting, you're seeing a whole lot of people who are doing a whole lot of things. And by that, I mean... You know, you're getting a refund. You're getting whatever it's going to be, whatever that, how that goes. But they typically don't send you a second. They're like, oh, yeah, here's your money. Oh, by the way. You know, just to quote, just to quote the red hot chili peppers. Look at me, I'm a double dipper. No, you can't be a double dipper. You can't, Nick, are you ever a double dipper? I don't ever double dip. Not with the feds. Not with them. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So, yeah, if you get any kind of that solicitation, stuff like that, ooh, no good. No good at all. Have you seen how hot it is over? Oh, what do you know? I have to, I have to go. Sent to drain. Secret destroyers. Hold you up to the flames. In your pantheon, in your pantheon, where do you rate smashing pumpkins? Like, are you top five grunge? Are you? Top 10 grunge. You guys can send me a missive, if you would. I mean, they're an incredible band. And I wish that they toured more. But I think they are touring, but I don't know where they're going. I think they're coming here, maybe. Potentially. Yeah. I mean, it's really incredible. Great, great, great stuff that we still have that we have to talk about. So here we go. Are you seeing all these people in Europe who are just, I mean, this is so sad. There's all these people who are getting sick and dying. 50 people died in France during the heat wave persisting stuff that's going on. That's just one country. Like, that's just France. Italy put 16 cities on alert. These people are...

I understand that they wanted to be, you know, super cool and use all these kind of, you know, magical things. You need to have nuclear reactors every possible place so that you can have people being able to be cold in their house. My goodness. This is despicable. Western Europe is in the grip of a heat wave on Wednesday that claimed dozens of lives. What is Toyota affordability?

Disrupted power supplies shut schools and cultural landmarks. As the forecasters warned the extreme temperatures could persist until the end of the week. Smashing previous records Britain. You know, Britain is typically kind of a cool place, like a colder place. It's highest temperature for June. 96.98% Fahrenheit. In southern England, there's a heat dome that hovers over much of the area. So these people are suffering. I mean, suffering. And you can't, look, you can't send energy. Like, how do you send energy? Hey, we're going to send you guys, we're going to give you energy. Go ahead and take it. This is going to be really great. Temperatures in Paris have hit very high temperatures. Italy's health ministry placed 16 cities, including Florence, Milan, Rome, Turin, and Verona on its highest heat alert. And at least 48 people have died in France, as I said earlier on with this. Scorching temperatures killed hundreds of thousands of birds at poultry farms in Brittany. And the Pais de Loire, France...

France's nuclear plants, which supply most of the country's electricity, cut output at about 7% of total demand. Why? What the heck is that? They're probably afraid that they can't get it strong enough to be up there and without blowing it out. The heat wave has been driven by a weather pattern called an omega block. pushing temperatures as much as 18 Celsius above normal. I don't know what that is, but that's a lot. That's a lot. Even London's climate... Oh, my gosh. This is why the Brits are not serious anymore. They're not serious. Brits... Britain's people, climate action week, was disrupted with organizers canceling an event on extreme heat because of the heat itself. Gosh, if we ever have to get in a war, not going to war against the Brits, but my God, this is so bad, what are you saving this for?

Paris Fashion Week swelters. The Eiffel Tower and the Louvre announced early closing times. Why don't you open all night? Wouldn't you do it all night and then shut it down during the day? Just invert it. What are you? Americans are smarter. We just are. That's what we would do. We'd do raves. We'd go out there and we'd rave all night, and then we'd go home and sleep it off, and you don't have to worry about, you know, sweaty bellies on the sheets. Okay? None of that. Or maybe yes. I don't know. That's right. All right, ladies and gentlemen, WBT is celebrating 250 years of freedom and 50 years of WBT Sky Show.

Well, apparently, Jonathan said that they are coming to Charlotte. I mean, that's pretty cool. I understand the smashing pumpkins are very, very talented, and on top of that, You have these people who write these incredible lyrics. Like when you go into the lyrics of the things that they talk about, it's really fantastic. I heard an interview with him with Howard once upon a time. And he had a real tough going about growing up.

And what he would do is he was in his house and his mom was, I think, a flight attendant. and she would just go and fly around and then come back and she would just, like, leave stuff for him. I mean, that is something that's either going to warp you or it's going to make you a different kind of a person. But remember, this is like the 1970s. The 1970s, you know, you got a lot of stuff to deal with. Let's see, what do I have here? Oh, okay, Jeff is sending me. The list that he has the most of. Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, and Nirvana. There's only two people left in that group. Because you got Pearl Jam. You've got smashing pumpkins. All those other guys, not still here. Not literally, not still here, but the bands are not the same thing. What do we have here? Okay, this is Beth's favorite Russ. Here we go. Brett, the Euros are just soft. I was reading about the heat wave this morning, 104 degrees in Paris with 25% humidity. That's Tuesday in Arizona. Well, of course it is. Of course it is. Springtime in Mississippi with 90% humidity. I don't like the humidity. You were just there? Oh, there you go. He can testify. Nick can testify. Is far worse. Get some AC and sweet tea like Americans and suck it up. You know what's really funny? All these people have come to the United States and they've got better weather here than they have over there. That's kind of interesting. Uh, Moira? Myra? I just got back from Paris. The other issue is that the sun isn't setting right now until 10.30 at night. That's true. They do that. So it stays that hot extremely late. The buildings are built to keep heat in. Oh. So when there's not AC, you're basically in an oven. I mean, that is something unbelievable. I mean, when you think about that, that is something that is completely terrible. I mean, when you're looking at this kind of stuff, there are basically ovens. Most restaurants and stores don't have AC, so you can't even get the relief from the heat. That's bad. This is what socialism does. This is why I said, and I don't necessarily want you guys to go out and fish this out, but this is why I said shakes the clown would be a better candidate than Zohran Mamdani and these people that are doing what they're doing. Now, don't go watch the movie. If you've never seen the movie, you don't want to, it's an adult movie. Not an adult movie, but it's a movie that's rated R.

And you don't want your kids, you don't want your kids seeing that. I mean, I just, I just don't, I just don't want to see anybody. I, I did it as part of a, a project. I was forced with, with me to go and do that, and I had to watch it. It is interesting, though, there's one scene that is absolutely fascinating, okay? And I'm going to tell you. You have a clown car, like a car filled with clowns, and you have mimes, and they end up in an intersection. You could probably find this maybe on the transom. Don't go and watch this movie, though. And they got right up as close as you could be, and one of them says, Hey, look at this. Clowns. And the clowns go, hey, look at this. Mimes. I thought you didn't talk. That's kind of good. But it's maybe the only joke in the entire movie. You don't even need to watch it. I did it for you. Just don't ever do it. Brett, Temple of the Dog. Oh, yes, all day, every day. John just said shakes the clown yes. No. No. Zohran Mamdani's endorsing. Breaking with Brett Jensen's next. Stick around. Back after the...
