Friday Hangover: "Kooky" Stories

Tune in here to this Friday’s edition of the Brett Winterble Show! 



Brett kicks off the program with Pete Kaliner for this edition of The Hangover as they discuss the growing urgency of modern global threats and the debate over preemption in national security. Brett argues that traditional standards—like the Caroline test—are outdated in an era defined by cyber warfare, nuclear development, and EMP capabilities. He warns that hostile regimes such as Iran are actively pursuing advanced weapons that could cripple infrastructure without conventional attacks.



Later Brett shifts focus to rising global tensions and a major new development in energy policy, highlighting reports of a proposed $40 billion U.S. nuclear reactor project. He contrasts this with past resistance to nuclear energy, questioning the long-term reliability of solar power as a primary solution. Brett then pivots to escalating concerns in the Middle East, detailing the movement of thousands of U.S. Marines and multiple Navy ships potentially headed toward the Region.

Global Threats & Energy Shift On The Brett Winterble Show

Tune in here to this  Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! 



Brett kicks off the program by talking about modern global threats and the growing debate over preemption in national security. He argues that the world has changed dramatically, with dangers no longer arriving through traditional warfare but through cyber attacks, nuclear development, and EMP capabilities that can cripple a nation without warning. Brett criticizes what he sees as outdated thinking rooted in old legal frameworks, saying today’s enemies operate faster and more unpredictably than ever before.



Later Brett turns his attention to a chaotic Capitol Hill confrontation surrounding the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, describing it as a “fake hearing” that exposed deep dysfunction in Washington. He explains that what was supposed to be a routine closed-door briefing quickly devolved into a partisan clash, with Democrats walking out and accusing officials of a cover-up, while Republicans dismissed the outburst as political theater. Brett highlights frustrations over the lack of transparency—no cameras, no oath, and no official record—fueling distrust on both sides.

Tune in here to this  Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! 



Brett kicks off the program by talking about the complexity of global intelligence spending and the perception of American strength on the world stage. He breaks down the so-called “black budget,” explaining how billions of dollars are allocated across classified military and non-military intelligence programs. Brett argues that while critics claim funds are being misused or hidden, the reality is far more structured, with money embedded in broader defense and research initiatives.



We’re joined by Denny from Craft Body Scan to talk about early detection and affordable access to advanced health screenings. He explains how their low-dose CT scans of the heart and lungs can identify serious conditions like heart disease and lung cancer before symptoms appear. Denny emphasizes that heart disease remains the leading cause of death, making proactive screening especially important for those over 40.



The process is quick, non-invasive, and requires no special preparation—taking just a few minutes to complete. He highlights how these scans can detect blockages, tumors, and other abnormalities, giving patients either peace of mind or a critical early warning.
