Tune in here to this Monday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show!
Brett kicks off the program by talking about the devastating storms in Central Texas and the remnants of Chantal affecting areas near Raleigh. He urges listeners who believe in the power of prayer to remember those impacted, while sharply criticizing those blaming political figures—particularly President Trump—for natural disasters. Transitioning into broader themes, Brett challenges the belief that government can control the climate, warning against political opportunism and excessive federal power. Drawing on historical references from Jefferson, Franklin, Madison
Later Brett dives into Elon Musk’s reported interest in forming a new political party, humorously dubbing it the “Musgrat Party.” While he insists the nickname isn’t disrespectful, he uses it to highlight Musk’s outsider status and survival instincts in political “swamps.” Brett speculates that Musk’s real goal is to influence American politics despite being ineligible to run for president himself. He draws attention to centrist Republican Don Bacon, who is leaving Congress but hasn’t ruled out a presidential run—potentially aligning with Musk’s movement. Brett raises questions about the motivations behind this third-party push, suggesting it’s designed to siphon support away from conservatives and help Democrats by default. He compares this possible shift to the impact of Ross Perot’s 1992 campaign, warning it could fracture the right and lead to unintended consequences.
