02/03/26 Retribution and Election Takeovers
Brett Breaks Things
Today’s show examines how retribution and election control are becoming explicit parts of national politics. As Trump’s Justice Department ramps up investigations that critics say target political opponents, new reporting reveals internal shake-ups, demotions, and a growing focus on “weaponization” priorities. We also break down Trump’s escalating call to “nationalize” elections, his renewed claims of illegal voting, and what a federal takeover of voting could actually mean in practice. Finally, we look at the unanswered questions surrounding Tulsi Gabbard — including her...

02/02/26 Big Names, Big Lies: Inside the Epstein Files
Brett Breaks Things
A new tranche of Epstein records is out — and the names inside are bigger, the denials louder, and the questions harder to dodge. Today we break down how Donald Trump appears in the latest Epstein files, what the documents do and do not prove, and how major media outlets are parsing the evidence — from victim counts to internal government debates over charging co-conspirators. We also dig into the most disturbing elements of the release, including the government’s publication of explicit evidence, newly revealed victim data, and emails mapping Epstein’s inner circle. Plus: fresh...

01/30/25 The Elections Have Already Been Rigged
Brett Breaks Things
Federal raids, recycled 2020 conspiracy theories, and intelligence officials turning up at election offices. We break down why Tulsi Gabbard’s presence at a Georgia election raid raised alarms, how debunked fraud claims are being revived, and what some Missouri connections have to do with this all. In today's episode, we ask a blunt question: Are future elections being rigged right now???

01/29/26 Enemies of the State
Brett Breaks Things
Today, we dig into the accelerating surveillance state—and who it’s really aimed at. We break down new reporting on the powerful tools Immigration and Customs Enforcement is using to track not just migrants, but protesters and U.S. citizens, including secret watchlists and growing databases exposed by leaked documents. We examine chilling video moments where ICE officials openly describe building databases that label Americans as “domestic terrorists.” We also cover the Federal Bureau of Investigation search of a Georgia election center, a rough day in court for federal authorities as...

01/28/26 The Winds Have Changed…
Brett Breaks Things
A sitting member of Congress is attacked in public, the rhetoric gets darker, and the federal response keeps raising more questions than answers. We break down the assault on Rep. Ilhan Omar at a Minneapolis town hall, the viral footage from multiple angles, and the political climate surrounding it — including Trump’s latest comments targeting immigrants and Rep. Omar herself. Then we zoom out: renewed scrutiny of not just Rep. Omar’s finances, but the broader hypocrisy around congressional stock trading, money making, and how enforcement seems to shift depending on who’s in the...

01/26/26 His Name Is Alex Pretti
Brett Breaks Things
Friends and family push back against what they call “sickening lies” about Alex Pretti as new videos, court filings, and timelines raise serious questions about the fatal Minneapolis shooting. We break down what the footage shows, why a judge stepped in to block the destruction of evidence, and how state investigators — not the DOJ or FBI — are now leading the probe. As the Trump administration and DHS officials rush to blame Pretti, gun rights groups, witnesses, and even local police leaders are publicly contradicting the federal narrative. We also examine how ICE’s tactics,...

01/23/26 Jack Smith Goes to Washington
Brett Breaks Things
Special Counsel Jack Smith took his case—literally—to Congress in a high-stakes House hearing that laid bare the evidence behind the Trump investigations. Under oath, Smith confirmed investigators found proof that Donald Trump knowingly spread false claims about the 2020 election, that January 6 was foreseeable and exploited, and that highly sensitive national-security documents were stored in unsecured locations. He also testified that Merrick Garland never pressured him to indict—and that the cases were dismissed solely due to DOJ policy, not a lack of evidence. The hearing quickly...

01/21/26 Minnesota Mass Exodus and Investigations Into All The Wrong People
Brett Breaks Things
Today’s episode dives into the explosive political and legal firestorm in Minnesota: amid the federal immigration enforcement Operation Metro Surge, the Justice Department has issued grand jury subpoenas to Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, Minnesota AG Keith Ellison, and other Democratic officials as part of a federal probe into whether local leaders obstructed ICE and other agents — less than two weeks after an ICE officer fatally shot Renée Good in Minneapolis, a killing the DOJ has declined to investigate criminally even as protests and criticism grow. We’ll break down...

01/20/26 THIS IS TRUMP’S AMERICA AFTER 1 YEAR
Brett Breaks Things
One year into Trump’s return to power, we open with a look at how presidential authority is being tested and expanded — from the Venezuela operation to the Iran bombing — and what it signals about the scope of executive power. We also break down the Supreme Court’s major cases in the 2025–2026 term and how the Court is shaping the political landscape heading into the next year. From there, Minnesota becomes the flashpoint. Today’s live show examines the escalating federal response to protests, a judge’s attempt to rein in ICE, and the administration’s move to appeal those...
info_outlineThe U.S. is confronting a once-in-a-generation battle over the limits of presidential power just as the country’s global strategy undergoes its most radical shift in decades.
On the domestic front, the Supreme Court is hearing a landmark case that could redefine the independence of federal agencies. Stemming from Donald Trump’s aggressive effort to purge officials he viewed as disloyal, the case challenges long-standing protections for civil servants and regulators. Conservatives see this as a chance to restore direct presidential control over the executive branch; critics warn it could politicize agencies and concentrate unprecedented power in the Oval Office. The Court’s decision could reshape how the federal government functions for decades.
At the same time, Trump’s new national-security doctrine marks a break from the post–World War II order. The policy pivots away from promoting democracy and long-standing alliances, reframes Europe—not Russia—as a key strategic obstacle, and emphasizes profit and transactional relationships over shared values. While language toward China has softened, the overall strategy signals a dramatic reorientation of American global leadership. Allies, especially in Europe, are left trying to determine whether the U.S. is still a predictable partner.
