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

Brett kicks off the program by talking with Pete Kaliner on the latest edition of The Friday Hangover. The two address several current events, including the planned “No Kings” protest in the nation’s capital, Democratic discussions about the ongoing government shutdown, and the recent mayoral debate in New York City. The segment is highlighted by two sound bites from Zohran Mamdani speaking at the debate. The first reveals Mamdani’s view on legalized prostitution, while the second shows how he would raise taxes to fund a free bus service.

Brett is then joined by former federal prosecutor Don Brown to talk about safety in American cities. Brown shares his perspective on politicians trying to stop Trump from cleaning up cities, saying that it stems from a “pro-crime” notion the left is trying to promote. He notes that the U.S. Constitution gives the president the authority to deploy the National Guard into cities to restore order. Additionally, he says the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is underfunded and that more resources are needed to keep the city safe, especially given recent crime trends.

Later, Brett shares more audio from the mayoral debate in New York City. The debate featured three candidates — Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. Although all three participated, the main clash was between Mamdani and Cuomo. One highlight from the debate was Mamdani criticizing Cuomo for not attending mosques, implying that he doesn’t accept Muslims as part of the community. Another moment featured Sliwa hammering both Cuomo and Mamdani for creating a crime crisis in New York City, though he was cut off by the moderators after making the remark.
