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

Brett and Pete Kaliner waste no time getting into the real conversations—starting with how talk radio operates under constant pressure from anonymous texts, organized trolls, and agenda-driven callers. They expose how digital feedback loops are manipulated, how trolls are tracked and blocked, and why most people have no idea how the system really works behind the scenes.

Then the tone sharpens as they shift to Antifa—discussing how labeling, funding, and foreign influence intersect. Brett draws a clear parallel between political cover and foreign mediation, warning about the consequences of legitimizing extremist groups. They call out activists operating across borders, including one figure allegedly organizing support from overseas after fleeing the country.

Later Brett breaks down a largely ignored but highly significant development: Melania Trump’s direct involvement in reuniting Ukrainian children with their families after being taken into Russia. Through quiet diplomacy and backchannel communication with Vladimir Putin, Melania reportedly helped return eight children—an effort launched with a personal letter delivered during Trump’s August summit. The media reaction? Silence from MSNBC and CNN, who instead focused on unrelated political headlines. Brett contrasts this with the broader issue of child trafficking, drawing parallels to the U.S. border crisis and the cartels’ exploitation of children.
