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 California’s troubled high-speed rail project, skyrocketing government spending, and political dysfunction on the West Coast. The conversation dives into the massive cost overruns tied to the rail system, farmland disputes, eminent domain concerns, and frustration from California residents over state leadership. Brett and Pete also touch on celebrity candidates, campaign spending, and the culture of perpetual political campaigns, including the role of wealthy donors and political consultants

We’re joined by Kirsten Pels from the Republican National Committee to discuss rising concerns over progressive policies in major Democrat-led cities, crime and prison release policies tied to Roy Cooper, and the national debate surrounding immigration and border security. Kirsten outlines Republican concerns over crime trends in North Carolina, arguing that soft-on-crime policies have led to dangerous consequences across the state. The conversation also focuses on victims of crimes committed by undocumented immigrants and the role border enforcement plays in public safety debates.
