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

Brett kicks off the program by talking about rising crime in major U.S. cities and society’s growing reluctance to label truly horrific acts as "evil." He highlights examples like JB Pritzker and Brandon Johnson's policies in Chicago, crime issues in California, and a recent violent incident on the light rail. Brett also discusses the disappearance of media coverage surrounding a trans shooter in Minneapolis and ties this into broader questions about moral clarity. He strongly criticizes the hesitancy to call individuals like Jeffrey Epstein or mass murderers “evil,” arguing that refusing to use the term dilutes our ability to recognize and confront deeply immoral behavior.

We're joined by Coach Matt Doherty from DohertyCoaching.com to talk about the state of UNC football and broader issues of public safety in major U.S. cities. Brett opens the segment with a lighthearted reunion before diving into Monday night’s disappointing football performance, asking Coach Doherty for his take. The coach points to TCU’s talent advantage and the challenges of building a cohesive team with 70 new players. They shift to broader trends in football, including the crossover between college and NFL coaching styles. The conversation then moves into the political, as Brett and Coach Doherty discuss safety concerns in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C. Coach Doherty praises recent efforts to improve safety in the capital and criticizes leaders like Pritzker and Johnson for failing to prioritize public safety. He emphasizes that every human’s top priority is to feel safe and applauds Trump’s focus on law and order.

We're also joined by Mark Vargas from Illinois Review and Newsmax to talk about the escalating crime crisis in Chicago and the political failures behind it. Mark, described by Brett as a true patriot, sheds light on the alarming violence plaguing the city—highlighting that 58 people were shot and 8 killed over Labor Day weekend alone. He accuses Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson of engaging in a massive political cover-up, prioritizing party loyalty over public safety. Vargas criticizes Johnson’s lack of leadership, noting his 6% approval rating and frequent hospitalizations for panic attacks. He calls out Pritzker’s hypocrisy for deploying the National Guard to protect DNC donors, while refusing to do so for everyday citizens. With 150,000 gang members and only 11,000 police officers, Vargas supports deploying the National Guard as a necessary step. He emphasizes that residents themselves are begging for federal intervention to reclaim their city.
