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

Brett discusses escalating tensions between the United States and Cuba following a deadly maritime confrontation near Cuba’s northern coast. He breaks down reports that Cuban forces opened fire on a U.S.-registered speedboat after passengers allegedly shot and wounded a Cuban border officer, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries. Brett frames the incident as a potentially serious diplomatic flashpoint, especially as U.S. officials, including Marco Rubio, attempt delicate conversations with Cuban leadership.

Beyond the immediate clash, Brett pivots to a broader reflection on American identity. He contrasts what he calls the nation’s historic strengths—enterprise, resilience, liberty, grit, and innovation—with what he views as growing apathy and cultural complacency. Moving alphabetically through core values, he argues that the United States thrives when it embraces boldness and responsibility, not excuses or resentment. For Brett, the Cuba incident underscores a larger theme: America must remain strong, principled, and confident in its foundational ideals.
