Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show!
We’re joined by Don Brown from Brown for NC to talk about his bid for U.S. Senate and the growing national debt. Brown discusses why he believes exploding federal spending is the most urgent issue facing the country, warning that unchecked debt threatens the strength of the dollar and long-term economic stability. He outlines his call for aggressive government reform, including eliminating entire federal agencies rather than simply trimming budgets. Brown also shares which leaders have influenced his thinking, pointing to strong conservative voices and a need for Congress to reclaim its constitutional role.
The conversation expands to national security, border enforcement, and the administration’s actions against drug trafficking, which Brown strongly supports, citing the deadly impact of fentanyl. He also explains where he would like to serve if elected, highlighting Armed Services, Judiciary, and Agriculture committees, tying his priorities to military strength, constitutional oversight, and protecting small farms across North Carolina.
Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

And welcome back.
Speaker 9 (04:46):
It's great to be with you. One oh seven point
nine FMWBT, Charlotte's News Talk. Let me reach out to
Don Brown, who is joining us now on the program.
I know you are a candidate for uh the position
being sent out by obviously the current senator in the
(05:09):
in the position right there, and I have a question
for you. What are you doing today? I figured you'd
be out there, you know, looking for different sorts of
gifts and things like that. Man, you are working hard today.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
What is going on?
Speaker 9 (05:22):
Don Brown?
Speaker 8 (05:24):
Well, well, we're working hard, but we're doing a lot
of them used today you're a number three and of
course BT that's always saving the best. So I asked,
and one of those reasons that God created Amazon is
to help us to be able to kind of order
a few things. And I'll be going to the ball tomorrow,
so I'll be doing a combination of both. And I
hope you're ready to go, Brett, you know. I mean,
(05:44):
you're already three or four steps to hit everybody. So
I'm sure you got everything wrapped under the tree. But
I got a little more catch up things to do tomorrow.
Speaker 9 (05:51):
Right on, right on, So let's talk about this race.
Your your your your desire to become the next center
or uh from from the state of North Carolina, what
is your number one priority in this regard?
Speaker 8 (06:08):
Uh, listen, Breadth. There are a lot of things to
be concerned about, but the national debt continues to explode.
It is an absolute emergency. I was going up to
ash for about a month ago, and there's a website
usdeck clock dot org. If you go to it, you
can see the debt exploding in real time. And while
we brought the rate of spending down, that's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (06:27):
And you know, the big beautiful bills done wonderful things.
We have to attack it and reverse it. If we don't,
we're gonna lose the dollar and if we lose the dollar,
you're gonna look you're looking at a central bank digital currency.
And if you think COVID was bad for totalitarian and
pirate stuff, you haven't seen anything yet. And so it
is an emergency. I'm running hard against it. I'm proposing
(06:49):
a deep state reduction that you've got to take the
meat cleaver to government. You have to actually eliminate agencies, Bret.
That hasn't happened yet, and Congress has got to step up.
So I'm doing this because we're going to fall off
a cliff really really fast, all of a sudden one
day if we lose the dollar as international currency to trade.
That many other important issues as well, out of control judges,
(07:09):
medical freedom, we're battling for. But that is the one
burning a tom bomb that's got to be addressed, and
sooner rather than later.
Speaker 9 (07:17):
So let me ask you a question about the model
that you're talking about. And it's and it's just it's
just just an open question that I'm asking who who
would you model after? Who was very successful in doing
these sorts of things in your in your lifetime? Is
there is there a particular politician that you look at
(07:40):
you say, yeah, that's that's the guy that I would
want to emulate or work uh with that sort of
an approach.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Can you give me one of those people?
Speaker 8 (07:48):
Well, Jesse helm is the great model, great senator from
North Carolina who was the original senator know who before
before Trump or Reagan, there was Jesse Heilm's the original
solid strong conservatives who did not care what the liberal
media thought. I like that, But in terms of a
model and getting the job done, you know, we've got to. Unfortunately,
(08:08):
our congresses have been very weak in many respects. The
Democrats have come in with these huge, massive spending programs.
You go back to FDR with a new Deal, and
then you had LJ with a Great Society and Obamacare.
They just blow the government up. But when Republicans take control, Bret,
we don't cut agencies. And so I don't know that
there is a recent model that I unfortunately put point
(08:32):
my finger too. But we have to. The Congress has
got to take control of the situation. You can't just
sit back and wait on presidents to come up with programs.
We blow with the wind from administration to administration. We've
got to bring the torch of freedom into the into
the Senate. I like some of the guys in the Senate.
There are a handful of guys I like. I like
Mike Lee Now, I like the Cemetery from up in Wisconsin.
(08:53):
I mean, he's he's very good. I like Ron and
I like you know, I like Ted Cruise do pretty
good job. Think, uh, you know, John Kennedy is very entertaining.
But but there are only a very few solid conservatives
indis Senate. We got to speak boldly, and we have
to lead with prus, and we got to wake our
people up to the fact that we don't get this
(09:14):
exploding denam to control. Everything is going to fall off
a cliff.
Speaker 9 (09:17):
Now you've you've obviously seen a lot of a lot
of good and a lot of bad throughout the careers
and the stuff that you do. Tell me your thoughts
on this thing that we're doing with uh, with with
Maduro and sinking those uh those those drug ships and
stuff like that.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
You know, would you would you vote for that?
Speaker 8 (09:40):
Well? What I vote? Well, I think yes, I think Well,
if you're asking me about the administration's policy, you're taking
out these drug boats. Of course, you know, you go
all the way back to the beginning of the Republic,
the United States. American presidents have protected American lives and
property in the high seats, going all the way back
to the Barbary Pirates with with Thomas Jefferson, Lincoln sees,
(10:01):
you know, a British mail ship, the RMS Trent Franklin.
Roosevelt almost a year before Pearl Harbor was giving shoot
to sink orders to the United States Navy in the Atlantic,
when we were protecting convoys against U boats. You know Reagan,
you know, went into Grenada. We seen this over and
over again. So it is absolutely proper and constitutional. I've
(10:21):
set over and over again. The only reason that the
Democrats are squeaking at this point is because Pete Headsheff
threatened to pull Mark Kelly back up from the active duty.
I think he should under the circumstances. Their accid these
six senators are encouraging American military members to disregard the
order of the president, so they come up with the
(10:43):
second shot theory and all this kind of stuff. Listen,
here's the thing about it, Brett. Think about what I said.
More Americans killed in one year from fentanyl coming across
the border coming out of South America than ten years
of Vietnam War. These are weapons of mass destruction. And
if that boat wasn't sunk on the first shot, if
it's still in the water and still has drugs, you
hit it with a second shot. And as some terrorists
(11:04):
is hanging onto that boat and gets killed us too
bad as collateral damage. Those terrorists are trying to kill Americans,
are trying to kill sharotteas North Carolinians. And so I
fully support that policy.
Speaker 9 (11:16):
So let's let's talk a little bit about you know,
where you might want to serve, what assignment you would
like to do. Is have you thought about that if
you get elected?
Speaker 8 (11:28):
Sure? I have. I have a heart for armed services.
I worked, I've written a number of military boats, as
you may know, and work with the House Armed Services
Committee when Walter Jones is alive and Matt Thormber with
a chair to initiate an investigation into the extors and
some teams shoot down, work with Pete headset on some
pardons of American soldiers prosecuted under Obama's restrictive rules of engagement.
(11:50):
I also have a heart for judiciary. I've written a
book Kangaroo Court. Got to get you a copy of that.
I've read came out last year on the Democrats policy
of political prosecutions, and I think we got to bring
that stuff to an end. We've got bringing these out
of control federal judges. The Judiciary Committee would be well
suited for that sort of oversight. So those are the two.
(12:10):
And I also really I'm really a big agriculture guy.
My granddaddy was a farmer. We've got to save small farms,
and I would be I would be honored to serve
on any of those committees.
Speaker 9 (12:21):

have you on the program. If folks want to get
get in touch with you, if they want to, you know,

I know you are a candidate for uh the position
being sent out by obviously the current senator in the

in the position right there, and I have a question
for you. What are you doing today? I figured you'd
be out there, you know, looking for different sorts of
gifts and things like that. Man, you are working hard today.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
What is going on?
Speaker 9 (05:22):
Don Brown?
Speaker 8 (05:24):
Well, well, we're working hard, but we're doing a lot
of them used today you're a number three and of
course BT that's always saving the best. So I asked,
and one of those reasons that God created Amazon is
to help us to be able to kind of order
a few things. And I'll be going to the ball tomorrow,
so I'll be doing a combination of both. And I
hope you're ready to go, Brett, you know. I mean,
(05:44):
you're already three or four steps to hit everybody. So
I'm sure you got everything wrapped under the tree. But
I got a little more catch up things to do tomorrow.
Speaker 9 (05:51):
Right on, right on, So let's talk about this race.
Your your your your desire to become the next center
or uh from from the state of North Carolina, what
is your number one priority in this regard?
Speaker 8 (06:08):
Uh, listen, Breadth. There are a lot of things to
be concerned about, but the national debt continues to explode.
It is an absolute emergency. I was going up to
ash for about a month ago, and there's a website
usdeck clock dot org. If you go to it, you
can see the debt exploding in real time. And while
we brought the rate of spending down, that's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (06:27):
And you know, the big beautiful bills done wonderful things.
We have to attack it and reverse it. If we don't,
we're gonna lose the dollar and if we lose the dollar,
you're gonna look you're looking at a central bank digital currency.
And if you think COVID was bad for totalitarian and
pirate stuff, you haven't seen anything yet. And so it
is an emergency. I'm running hard against it. I'm proposing
(06:49):
a deep state reduction that you've got to take the
meat cleaver to government. You have to actually eliminate agencies, Bret.
That hasn't happened yet, and Congress has got to step up.
So I'm doing this because we're going to fall off
a cliff really really fast, all of a sudden one
day if we lose the dollar as international currency to trade.
That many other important issues as well, out of control judges,
(07:09):
medical freedom, we're battling for. But that is the one
burning a tom bomb that's got to be addressed, and
sooner rather than later.
Speaker 9 (07:17):
So let me ask you a question about the model
that you're talking about. And it's and it's just it's
just just an open question that I'm asking who who
would you model after? Who was very successful in doing
these sorts of things in your in your lifetime? Is
there is there a particular politician that you look at
(07:40):
you say, yeah, that's that's the guy that I would
want to emulate or work uh with that sort of
an approach.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Can you give me one of those people?
Speaker 8 (07:48):
Well, Jesse helm is the great model, great senator from
North Carolina who was the original senator know who before
before Trump or Reagan, there was Jesse Heilm's the original
solid strong conservatives who did not care what the liberal
media thought. I like that, But in terms of a
model and getting the job done, you know, we've got to. Unfortunately,
(08:08):
our congresses have been very weak in many respects. The
Democrats have come in with these huge, massive spending programs.
You go back to FDR with a new Deal, and
then you had LJ with a Great Society and Obamacare.
They just blow the government up. But when Republicans take control, Bret,
we don't cut agencies. And so I don't know that
there is a recent model that I unfortunately put point
(08:32):
my finger too. But we have to. The Congress has
got to take control of the situation. You can't just
sit back and wait on presidents to come up with programs.
We blow with the wind from administration to administration. We've
got to bring the torch of freedom into the into
the Senate. I like some of the guys in the Senate.
There are a handful of guys I like. I like
Mike Lee Now, I like the Cemetery from up in Wisconsin.
(08:53):
I mean, he's he's very good. I like Ron and
I like you know, I like Ted Cruise do pretty
good job. Think, uh, you know, John Kennedy is very entertaining.
But but there are only a very few solid conservatives
indis Senate. We got to speak boldly, and we have
to lead with prus, and we got to wake our
people up to the fact that we don't get this
(09:14):
exploding denam to control. Everything is going to fall off
a cliff.
Speaker 9 (09:17):
Now you've you've obviously seen a lot of a lot
of good and a lot of bad throughout the careers
and the stuff that you do. Tell me your thoughts
on this thing that we're doing with uh, with with
Maduro and sinking those uh those those drug ships and
stuff like that.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
You know, would you would you vote for that?
Speaker 8 (09:40):
Well? What I vote? Well, I think yes, I think Well,
if you're asking me about the administration's policy, you're taking
out these drug boats. Of course, you know, you go
all the way back to the beginning of the Republic,
the United States. American presidents have protected American lives and
property in the high seats, going all the way back
to the Barbary Pirates with with Thomas Jefferson, Lincoln sees,
(10:01):
you know, a British mail ship, the RMS Trent Franklin.
Roosevelt almost a year before Pearl Harbor was giving shoot
to sink orders to the United States Navy in the Atlantic,
when we were protecting convoys against U boats. You know Reagan,
you know, went into Grenada. We seen this over and
over again. So it is absolutely proper and constitutional. I've
(10:21):
set over and over again. The only reason that the
Democrats are squeaking at this point is because Pete Headsheff
threatened to pull Mark Kelly back up from the active duty.
I think he should under the circumstances. Their accid these
six senators are encouraging American military members to disregard the
order of the president, so they come up with the
(10:43):
second shot theory and all this kind of stuff. Listen,
here's the thing about it, Brett. Think about what I said.
More Americans killed in one year from fentanyl coming across
the border coming out of South America than ten years
of Vietnam War. These are weapons of mass destruction. And
if that boat wasn't sunk on the first shot, if
it's still in the water and still has drugs, you
hit it with a second shot. And as some terrorists
(11:04):
is hanging onto that boat and gets killed us too
bad as collateral damage. Those terrorists are trying to kill Americans,
are trying to kill sharotteas North Carolinians. And so I
fully support that policy.
Speaker 9 (11:16):
So let's let's talk a little bit about you know,
where you might want to serve, what assignment you would
like to do. Is have you thought about that if
you get elected?
Speaker 8 (11:28):
Sure? I have. I have a heart for armed services.
I worked, I've written a number of military boats, as
you may know, and work with the House Armed Services
Committee when Walter Jones is alive and Matt Thormber with
a chair to initiate an investigation into the extors and
some teams shoot down, work with Pete headset on some
pardons of American soldiers prosecuted under Obama's restrictive rules of engagement.
(11:50):
I also have a heart for judiciary. I've written a
book Kangaroo Court. Got to get you a copy of that.
I've read came out last year on the Democrats policy
of political prosecutions, and I think we got to bring
that stuff to an end. We've got bringing these out
of control federal judges. The Judiciary Committee would be well
suited for that sort of oversight. So those are the two.
(12:10):
And I also really I'm really a big agriculture guy.
My granddaddy was a farmer. We've got to save small farms,
and I would be I would be honored to serve
on any of those committees.
Speaker 9 (12:21):

Gaston County always causing a bit of headache. And while
they're clearing up on the northbound side, the southbound side
still a bit busy here from a little Rock Road
through to the DMVA station. Top speed in that area
is twelve miles per hour. Now we're going to see
(13:53):
some slowdowns as well. Forty five on the inner side
between South try And and Still Creek Road. Those are
dipping just under seventeen seventy seven on the northbound side,
finally clearing after a rack over at Arawood Road exit three.
Now the delays didn't get the memo yet. They are
still slow back to Tybola Road and it is going
to take a little while. They're moving just under twenty
five so they are getting better, but just taking their
(14:14):
time there. Also, the next biggest headache is going to
go Independence Boulevard in the eastbound side over at Village.
It looks like Village Lake Drive. That one's going to
throw you back here looks over to Matthews Township Parkway.
Sorry about that, my computer's blinking. We do have those
at clocking in under fifteen miles per hour as well,
so make sure that you're just watching your speed and
(14:35):
watching out for officials on those scenes. As before, it
is sponsored by super Sure. Do you want a small business?
You need to hear this. A seismicshift is coming. It's
time to get super Sure. Not kind of sure, not
pretty sure, but super Sure coming soon. Pam the jam
winner WBT Traffic.
