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



We’re joined by Phil Kerpen from American Commitment to talk about the state of the U.S. economy and the looming policy battles over health care, government spending, and entitlement fraud. Phil breaks down why consumer spending remained strong through the holidays and why economic growth in 2025 far exceeded expert predictions, pushing back on forecasts of a slowdown in 2026. He argues that pro-growth tax policy and regulatory restraint are setting the stage for continued expansion.



The conversation then turns to Washington, where looming government funding deadlines could spark another shutdown fight. Phil explains why Democrats have less leverage this time and why expanded Obamacare subsidies are neither necessary nor sustainable. He also outlines a conservative vision for health care reform focused on competition, transparency, and consumer control. Finally, Phil addresses widespread fraud in programs like SNAP and Medicaid, calling for states to have more “skin in the game” to curb abuse and protect taxpayers.
