Danielle Alvarez On The Brett Winterble Show

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!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
News Talk eleven ten, nine to nine three WBT Brett
Water Bowl. Great to be with you, and I'm happy
to welcome to the program somebody who I always enjoy
our conversations with, and that is Danielle Alvarez, who is
joining us now. Danielle, thanks so much for being here
today in Charlotte.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
It is always great to be on with you. Thanks
for having me.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
So let me ask you. I'm going to sort of
go round robin here. Okay, obviously we see the presidents
trying to get the intransigent Democrats to get back to
business so we can open up the government. Are you
expecting that this is going to go much longer or
what are you feeling about this?

Speaker 2 (00:44):
You know, I am usually the eternal optimist, but in
this sense, I think that the Democrats Trump's arrangement sister
syndrome has completely rotted their brains and they have lost
sight of the fact that they should be working on
behalf of the American people. I mean, it's such a disaster,
it's such a disservice. Instead of passing a clean continuing resolution,

(01:09):
which they have done time and time again in the past,
we have Democrats playing politics and for example, with Clark,
who's the number two House Democrats, oh boys, just recently
said in an interview quote, of course there will be
families that are going to suffer, but it is one

(01:29):
of the few leverage times we have. How sick is
that quote? That is democrats campaign slogan heading into twenty
twenty six, families are going to suffer, but we need
our leverage.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
And so there's no way to even get the leverage
because they can't even open up the government, right, So
it's like you're they're still cutting. They're cutting their noses
despite their face for any listeners who don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
In order to pass any of these budgetary bills, and
in this instance it's called a clean continuing resolution, you
need sixty votes. So you can't do it with just
the Republican majority. You need bipartisanship. But again, Democrats cannot
be by partisan when it comes to President Trump. Despite
the mandate that President Trump and Republicans received in November,

(02:16):
the thirteen battleground states one the popular vote not only
the White House, but the House, the Senate, increasing margins
with every demographic across the country, Democrats continue to play politics.
We've heard Chuck Schumer make similar comments. We are now
hearing the Whip make the same comments. They are willing

(02:37):
to play politics. They are not willing to be bipartisan
and pass this clean continuing resolution.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
All right, let me ask you this now.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Is this a slowing down because the No Kings event
was so effective.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Over the weekend. I'm just curious about your thoughts on that.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Oh, the No King's event. I mean, it's athetic. I
don't again, Democrats don't know what they fight for. They
just know what they fight against. They fight against common sense,
They fight against America first. I mean, when you're talking
about this government shutdown, you're talking about Democrat leadership caring
more about health care for illegal immigrants and using tax

(03:21):
payer dollars to fund health care for illegal immigrants. And
they care about paying our military, then they care about
paying our federal law enforcement. Then they care about paying
our air traffic controllers. I mean, it's disgusting. It's such
a shame on the part of Democrats. And you know,
they'll go out into the streets and I don't know, march,
but it's not effective in the slice. What they have

(03:43):
to do is get back into Washington, d C. And
get to work all right.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Final question in the round that we're talking about here,
what is more likely that we are going to see
Chicago cleaned up or Mandami gets elected down the road
there in New York.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
What's your betting position there?

Speaker 2 (04:07):
You know, I unfortunately saw some recent polling that shows
that Mom Dommy has a very high likelihood of getting
elected in New York City. I think it's such a
shame that, you know, the once beautiful big Apple I mean,
is going to fall apart under his type of socialist leadership.

(04:28):
I think Democrats are so rudderless, They're directionless, and so
they're moving further to the left. Instead of learning their lesson,
they're moving further to the left. It really is a
shame because when you look at New York City or
you look at Chicago, I think that the constituents are

(04:48):
really sick of that deep blue leadership. But in the
case of the New York City election, the turnout model
is so small that Momdami has a past to victory.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Okay, finally, I've got I've got two more then for
you there, because we should we should talk about these
two very quickly, and that is what are you expecting
in Virginia?

Speaker 3 (05:06):
What are you expecting in New Jersey.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
You know, I think that these off cycle mid term
elections are really tough. I want to be really candid. Sure,
it's going to be very close. You know, Virginia is
very difficult when you think about the way that individuals
have fled the state and moved into the state. I

(05:32):
think it's going to take every single person getting involved.
We really need to urge everyone. You can make a
plan to vote if you're in Virginia or New Jersey
by going to gop dot com, because it's really they're
going to be low turnout elections and we really need
to make sure that our people make a plan to vote,
get up off the couch and go past their ballots.

(05:55):
I think in the case of New Jersey, we're going
to come really, really close and again, and I'm emerging
every single listener to go and make a plan to vote,
and it's going to be critically important. And then after
those elections, we're gonna have to be really focused on
those midterms. And in your state of North Carolina, yeah,
we probably have the biggest Senate race in the entire

(06:17):
country with Michael Wattley, the President's endorsed candidate, on the
ballot against former Governor Roy Cooper.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
That is going to be a massive, massive back and forth,
and certainly we'll be watching all of it. And we
really appreciate all of your efforts in spending time with
us here today. Thanks so much, Danielle. It's always a
pleasure to talk to you.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Thanks for having me.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
You got it.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Absolutely, that's Danielle Alvarez, one of these great strategist folks
that I like talking to her, and I think she
What I like about when we talk is she gives.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
It to you straight. She gives it to you straight. Now,
I'm gonna tell you something though. Right now, I think
Mandami's gonna lose.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
I think he's gonna lose, and I know I think
he is scaring people now.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
A couple of weeks ago, it was like, hey, yeah,
I'm so happy to be here. This is really great,
this is awesome.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
I think people are starting to go like, remember, there's
one thing that's certain in New York City. You have
a very low bar and you come down very hard.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Boom, there goes the boom.
