Awesome

Love Brett. Glad she got away from the DW. I hope that NDA doesn’t keep her from saying too much.

George

She stepped on some dicks at the Daily Wire and got fired.

I think it says something when people who separate from DW do better after. Brett is a shining star & I'm thrilled to hear her voice unrestrained.

George

She is a great example of if we all threw our problems in a pile, we would probably want ours back after listening to the other problems people had.

Kevin O’Malley

Powerful conversation. She’s weathered a lot and come out of it very put together. It’s impressive.

Jade Stanley

I wish I had looked at my patreon and sent in questions for Brett, I love her. Been with you shawn since the walkin in the woods days. Love ya both.

As a young child I wanted to "break the cycle" but I did it in a very destructive way. The men in my family aren't worthy of imitation. They range from beating women, drunks, and perverts. In my mind to break the cycle was to kill my blood line by severing my reproductive organs to cease the existence of such men. Now post transformation in Christ and free from addiction I realize I took a wrong turn. I'm much older now and a lot of time has passed plus my spouse doesn't want kids. I've been in a deep depression lately because of my choice to sever my legacy. This is the antithesis of biblical teachings. To break the cycle is to be the first link in the chain of change. I try to pour into young men to keep them from making the same mistakes. I'll never know what it's like to hold my child. Adoption is possible but my wife doesn't want children. This experience fuels my quest for mental health and rasing awareness to how clouded minds can make poor choices. If you're the praying type I could use some.

When I read the title I was wondering what this guy will be talking about. Just to then realize that “Brett” is a woman.

Bradley Jones

Damn Shawn. This one hit hard as a 24 year old that listens religiously. Really. Hit. Hard.

Joshua

She's cute as hell

Carrie

To perhaps answer Shawn's question (somewhere around the 1 hour mark), choosing to be temporarily scrunched up in an enclosed space, like a cupboard when Brett was younger or a closet when Brett was older, is reminiscent of being balled up in the womb. It can calm the nervous system.

Candace just keeps getting better as Brett will too. Independence looks good on them. Having the freedom to be the wives and in Candace’s case the mother she wants to be. Brett will make a great Mother cause it sounds like she has a great Mother who really taught her to be a strong free thinking productive member of society. She is an impressive young lady.

What an idiot I can be sometimes. I had a vague idea of how this interview would go. No. Not even close, you fool. I should have known that my mind and heart were going to be moved in incredibly powerful and beautiful ways.

Enrico Santona

Man just saw the trailer on YouTube and remember seeing this in my notifications yesterday so I came by to see the whole thing.

Perhaps the fear of the psychedelics is a good reason not to do them. The fact that you use them with fear may be very dangerous. Your intent be clear in your mind , it’s like anything you tackle in life. If you are negative, negative attracts. If you are positive that will achieve a positive effect. If you have tear, it will intensify the fear. I have always believed that and the fear prevents me from ever using psychedelics.

Melissa

What a great interview and human being. 🎉

Alex Patterson

Well done interview. Shawn is a very good listener and asks a lot of the questions that naturally arise. Brett is another example of an amazing example of humanity. What Shawn calls intuition, I personally call the intervention of Holy Spirit in her life. Hope she realizes the beauty that shows to others. Amazing gift of honesty displayed here…

Mediums are not talking to loved ones . It’s demons . I’m not saying this to be mean I’m saying it because I have dug into this after having many different experiences. Demons are all around and if you read the Bible it says these things are pagan and that is directly against the Bible . I would suggest you not open yourself up to mediums . There are plenty of ex mediums that will tell you all about it .

Mike S

What a great interview, she is a very awesome person.

Mimi

Just goes to show you have no idea what’s going on in another persons life so can we all just calm down and give each other some grace?

OS

What a smart, like-able person

david picariello

Shawn what a GREAT interview. 4 hours i could have gone for another 4 it was just that good. Her life story just wow i never knew i been a fan of hers for years. I am so moved by her story and her determination is inspiraring. This is got o be one of your top 5 of all time interview. Brett you are a boss girl and I hope for the best for you in everything you do if you see these comments.

Eric Alger

Hey Brett, I heard you mention the idea of seeing a medium like your mom once did—no judgment at all. I just wanted to share what the Bible says, especially since I know you believe in God. Scripture warns that it’s not really our loved ones speaking, but deceiving spirits. • “Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” – 2 Corinthians 11:14 • “Some will follow deceitful spirits and teachings of demons.” – 1 Timothy 4:1 Here’s a quick summary of what the Bible says about mediums: 1. It’s forbidden. (Leviticus 19:31, Deuteronomy 18:10–12) 2. It brings judgment. (Leviticus 20:6) 3. God wants us to seek Him—not the dead. (Isaiah 8:19) What feels comforting can actually be spiritually dangerous. God invites us to come to Him for truth, peace, and guidance. What you can do instead: If you’re missing someone you’ve lost, bring that grief and longing to God directly. He’s not distant—He listens, comforts, and speaks through His Spirit and His Word. • Pray honestly about how you feel. • Read Scripture, especially passages on comfort and hope (like Psalm 34:18 or John 14:1–3). • Ask God to give you peace and even dreams or insight—He can speak in His own way. • And if you feel spiritually curious, dig into it through God’s lens, not the enemy’s imitation. You don’t need a medium when you have direct access to the Creator of heaven and earth—who knows your heart, your pain, and your story.

Michael Broderick

What a great conversation, Shawn. Keep bringing the great guests.

Joan Wisnowski

I learned a lot from Brett on this show, and I'm 3x as old as she is. I could relate to some of what she said, too. She's a great storyteller, and you, Shawn, are a great interviewer. Thanks.

Dylan Killman

I’ve been a huge DW fan since 2020, watching every host every day. And I love Brett and it was really cool to hear what happened and her story. I know this is more geared towards military, government, etc., but I would love to see more commentators on the show!

Ronnie Tschan

Very glad I watched, wasn’t familiar with Brett prior but she gained another fan.

Dale Rossman

Definitely a fan. Will watch her career forward with a greater understanding of her as a person.

Paul Casto

God bless you, Shawn for having her on your show. This young lady is amazing 23 year-old like her. Give me hope that we’re not too far gone like I thought we were.

Ahna

Wow I needed to hear this segment about needing people to not be disappointed in me...
