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

Brett kicks off the program by talking about the rising allure of socialism and the escalating tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela. He questions what makes socialism so appealing to some Americans and promises to “pin some tails on donkeys” to expose the flaws in that ideology. Shifting gears, Brett breaks down breaking news: the Trump administration’s deployment of three U.S. warships to Venezuela’s coast to confront drug cartels and apply pressure on Maduro’s regime. He connects the move to broader geopolitical messaging—particularly toward Vladimir Putin—highlighting the $50 million bounty on Maduro and recent asset seizures.

We're joined by Ambassador Carla Sands, former U.S. Ambassador to Denmark and prominent businesswoman, to talk about President Trump’s recent diplomatic efforts and the evolving global landscape.

Ambassador Sands highlighted the historic meetings between Trump and world leaders, including a significant Oval Office gathering with Ukrainian President Zelensky. She emphasized the Trump administration’s role in facilitating peace negotiations, applying economic pressure on nations like China and India, and holding Russia accountable. Sands also discussed the ongoing hybrid warfare threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party, underscoring the scale of IP theft and societal infiltration. With stark warnings about China's covert influence and praise for Trump’s diplomacy-first approach to avoiding global conflict, Ambassador Sands offered a sharp perspective on the challenges facing America today
