Tune in here to this Monday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show!
Brett kicks off the program by talking about the Democratic Party’s historically low favorability ratings and growing dissatisfaction within its base. He quickly pivots to a broader critique of Democratic leadership, referencing Nancy Pelosi and security failures around January 6, before expanding into a wide-ranging commentary on political dysfunction across states like New York, Illinois, and Texas. The heart of Brett’s message, however, centers on education—specifically the urgent need to teach financial literacy and capitalism starting in the first grade.
He argues that current schooling fails to equip children with real-world economic skills, emphasizing that understanding budgeting, saving, and investing is more critical than rote academic knowledge. Brett warns that without early exposure to capitalism, children risk becoming vulnerable to socialist ideologies or exploitative financial systems. His proposed solution is a foundational curriculum that instills capitalist values and financial empowerment from a young age—framed as a path toward self-reliance and national renewal.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
All right, Texas Governor's deadline for Democrat lawmakers to return
to the state or face or removal from office. That
is the deadline as of right now. And we've not
seen any action. We've not seen them come walking in,
we haven't seen anybody else being a part of the thing,
and we know we're just kind of curious about this.
Also moving in real time breaking news, DJ orders grand
(00:33):
jury in Russia hoax. This is interesting. This is interesting
the way things are going here because you can't say
that the administration right now is wasting time doing things, etc.
Because they've done big things with tariffs, they've done big
things with the big beautiful Bill and all that sort
(00:56):
of stuff. And then you look at this and you say, Okay,
what else has happened? Well, what else is happening is
you've got the DOJ prosecutor to take evidence to the
grand jury relating to the twenty sixteen Russia hoax. My
belief is, and I don't mean like I'm certain about it,
but what I believe will happen is Hillary Quinton is
(01:17):
going to be brought in there. They're going to bring
her into the grand jury, and she's going to have
to stand tall before the men and figure out, you know,
why did you guys do this sort of stuff, because
now you've got a whole bunch of other stuff that's
wrapped up in this, like really bad stuff. So let
(01:37):
me go. I'm going to go back to cut number one,
two and three if I can. All right, this is
what the Democrats are upset about, and it's very specific
what they're freaking out about. Cut number one, Harry Enton says,
nobody is leading the Democratic Party right now. Nobody is
(01:58):
in charge, nobody is bond response for responsible for any
of this sort of stuff. Cut number one.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Democrats at this point are historically divided. It is a
complete and utter mess. It is mess here than a
hoarder's basement. What are we talking about here? The national
early poll leader twenty five percent plus. Normally that's where
Democrats are. Biden was twenty five percent plus in twenty twenty.
Hillary Clinton was at eight and sixteen. Core was a
to O four. At this particular point, there is no one,
(02:25):
no one in the Democratic race for president who's polling
at twenty five percent plus.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Okay, so that's a that's a really ugly picture. Cut
number two. How underwater are they this underwater cut to.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
The Democratic Party's net fabru rating record lows and all
three Wall Street Journal thirty points underwater, CNN twenty six
points underwater, Gallup twenty six points underwater. And that is
being driven in large pop by discontent within the Democratic base.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
So moving forward, Eric Holder, we had this in the
opening of the Last Hour, Holder on targeting Trump Cut three.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
We've got to do things that perhaps in the past
I would not have supported, like, well, this is an
authoritarian move by the White House to try to make
sure that they can rig the election, the midterm elections
in twenty twenty six. And so I think that a
democratic response that is responsible, that is responsive, and that
is temporary is appropriate given these given these facts.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
So what he's alluding to is the Democrats who fled
the locale of the state of Texas. Texas Rep who
left the state over the redistricting fight. He's been doing
an interview right now on CNN and and it's State Rep.
James Tallarico. So he's a Democrat out of Texas. He's
doing an interview right now. He's safe and secure, I
(03:48):
think in Illinois at this stage of the game. While
at the same time we're seeing action their speeches being
given about the fleeing Democrats. We'll have to wait and
see how that ends up being handled, but we do
know a couple of other things, and these are very
very important considerations as we as we look at this.
(04:10):
Because we're just talking right now about the grand jury
against the Russia hoax thing. Right, guess what else is happening.
This is cut number twelve. Jack Smith, Jack Smith, the
guy come back, the guy who went after the president
of the United States, is being investigated and he's going
(04:33):
to be charged with a DOJ Hatjack Cut twelve, come back.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Former prosecutor Jack Smith is now being investigated by the
Office of the Special Council. You may remember Smith led
two Department of Justice criminal cases that looked at President
Trump's handling of classified documents and alleged efforts to overturn
the twenty twenty election. President Trump pleaded not guilty and
denied wrongdoing. Both cases were dropped after President Trump was
(04:59):
re elected.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Okay, so what they're saying though, is that this is
a violation of the Hatch Act, where you get some
sort of a benefit because you are working for the
government and at the same time you're basically making a
name for yourself. They appointed you. Guys may remember there
was a guy who was an Attorney general named Murky Garland,
(05:21):
Merrick Garland, who has disappeared. I don't even know if
he was ever even real, but he is a guy
who appointed Jack Smith for the position. And remember there
was the fanfare and the excitement was the eating of
hot dogs on the front lawn of the White House,
all that kind of stuff. That's not really true, but
it was basically that way. Everybody was breathless and just
(05:43):
so excited about Jack Smith being a part of this.
He's that kind of guy. We had to go get
him in Europe and bring him back from the Hague,
from den Hog and bring him to the DC circuit.
And we're going to specifically charge Donald John Trump with
(06:04):
stealing and everything that you can put under the sun. Well,
now he's gonna be the guy who's gonna be in
the dock. He's gonna be the guy where people are
gonna say, what did you do?
Speaker 4 (06:17):
What did you do?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
How did you do? What are you talking about? It's
very interesting. It's very interesting in fact, just for the
purpose of showing you how wacko people are just to
show you how wacko, how crazy, how nuts folks are.
(06:39):
You have to understand something that Joe Scarborough said earlier today.
I'm not I don't have the I don't have the clip.
Oh no, I do have the clip. Actually, this is
cut number ten. Morning. Joe says that Donald Trump got
elected because he was on trial, and he kind of
(07:00):
owes the system for being on trial. I'm not lying.
Listen to it in your own words. This is cut
number ten, Donald Trump's ession of this event.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Yeah, but I agree Mika with what Kenny said. Why
keep going back to it? Why keep mudding the water
when you have Marco Rubio and the Senate Intel Committee,
your own Secretary of State, saying Paul Maniport. In the
twenty sixteen Trump campaign posts a quote grave counter intelligence
threat to the United States of America of John Durham
admitting that there wasn't a Clinton conspiracy. That actually the
(07:34):
two emails at the heart of that. Even though he
spent the entire report trying to prove this. In the annex,
he hides it in the annex and well, yeah, the
two key emails were actually most likely products of Russian
disinformation like move on get past that. The only people
talking about Russia, Russia, Russia right now are Tolsey Gabbert
(07:56):
and others to try to distract from other things. It's
it's not a winner for Donald Trump, it's not a
winner for John Durham. It's not a winner for people
in that. I mean, look at Donald Trump. He is
president in a large part. Whether you agreed with the
charges or not, he's president in a large part. And
he will say to himself, because he sat at a
(08:16):
defendant's table throughout the summer of his political campaign, this.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Does not work politically.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
It always ends up blowing up politically in the face
of the people who are going after the other side.
That's by Tom Cotton's saying, you know the Hatch Act. Seriously,
give us some facts here the Hatch Act. Yeah, that's
all you got again. It's just a losing political proposition.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
But President Trump isn't on the ballot again. He's done.
So it doesn't mean anything, Joe. It just means that
you understood in the way you just broke that down.
You knew full well that it was full of bull,
full of ble suffocate.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
All right.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
So I got a comment from somebody who said, Okay, look,
we're busy enough trying to teach regular classes and all
that sort of stuff. How are we supposed to do this? Aha? Good,
I'm glad you picked that up, ladies and gentlemen, because
we don't need teachers teaching this. We need to turn
this as an external system. Teachers have enough to do
(09:41):
on their plate right now. Okay, teachers are incredibly busy,
and I have absolute respect for those people who go
into that, all right, but but we need to take
it outside. We need to develop, just like the commies did.
And these little cells have these little cells running around
(10:02):
doing mischief. That's how you get you know, the Sorowses
and all of those people. We're going to teach them
with folks who are of a heart and of a
mind to share this information so that these young skulls
full of Mussias Russia would say, are going to understand
(10:23):
all of the fundamentals. Because the hardest thing to understand,
the hardest thing to understand is why is it that
people hate Why is it that people hate people who
are successful? And I think that's an important point. Why
(10:46):
do people hate successful people? Maybe a Republican, you could
be a Democrat, you could be a whatever. But why
do they hate them? Why do they hate people who succeed?
I believe in the heart of my life hearts that
it's because the folks who see people being successful think
they stole it or cheated. You know what they did.
(11:10):
They put the work into it. They put the work
into it. There are people that you know, they sit
around and they talk about big ideas and all sorts
of things like that, But how many of them are
able to actually push through and break through? You know,
it's incredible when you take a look at the quickness
(11:35):
in which somebody will quit because something is difficult, as
opposed to, Oh, can't somebody just give this to me?
Can't I just get this? Can I just know? You
can't just get that? You know that it takes practice. Right,
So when you're a little kid, you go back to
(11:55):
being a very young person, okay, and you can run
a certain speed. You're you're you're you're this fast, right,
and then what happens. It starts to get more competitive,
more competitive, more competitive, and you have got to get
more competitive, uh to do that. If you were the
fastest kid in first grade, are you going to be
(12:15):
the fastest kid in seventh grade. Are you going to
be the fastest kid in college? Are you going to be?
How do you? How do you do this? You in
You do the work that has to be done, the
hardest thing in the entire world to be a success.
Which is why you see all these democrats in Texas
running to states that they don't live in because they
(12:36):
can't come up with a better idea, so they want
to just go out and pretend that they're being leaders.
They're not being leaders because they don't want to do
the work. What they want to do is they want
to they want to play the game. They don't want
to do the work that it takes, knocking on doors,
persuading people, all this sort of stuff, and they they
(12:56):
hide behind identity, they hide behind color, they hide behind
all sorts of things like that. Everybody can be anybody
can be a successful person. You can put in the
work while all your friends are getting drunk on the weekend.
You can put in the work twelve hours a day,
(13:18):
sixteen hours a day, twenty four hours straight doing a job.
Or you can sit back and say, gosh, look at
that sob he's got that beautiful car. He stole it.
He stole it from everybody. He stole it. No thieves steal.
Entrepreneurs do not. They try to figure out what the
(13:42):
best possible outcome can be, and they work twice as
hard to defeat just that level, because it's about breaking through.
And unfortunately, we're raising a whole bunch of kids who
are just willing to buy into the they stole it
(14:05):
message message, And that's not right. It's not right. And
when you tell your kid that, you're committing a fraud
on your child.
All right, Texas Governor's deadline for Democrat lawmakers to return
to the state or face or removal from office. That
is the deadline as of right now. And we've not
seen any action. We've not seen them come walking in,
we haven't seen anybody else being a part of the thing,
and we know we're just kind of curious about this.
