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

Brett kicks off the program by addressing the deeply troubling attack in Minneapolis, emphasizing its ideological nature and the broader implications for national security and public discourse. He criticizes the media and political establishment for minimizing the event, arguing that had the ideological roles been reversed, the public response would have been swift and severe Brett highlights commentary from Sebastian Gorka, who underscores the targeted nature of the violence against a Catholic school and challenges efforts to depoliticize the incident. He warns that ignoring such attacks opens the door to further violence and insists this event must not be forgotten. Drawing parallels to historical tragedies like 9/11 and the Alamo, Brett calls for a national reckoning and a firm stand to protect children and communities

We’re joined by Michael Whatley, former RNC official and current Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, to talk about the challenges facing North Carolina and the country at large. Whatley outlines his priorities: securing the border, strengthening the economy, backing law enforcement, and supporting the America First agenda. He contrasts his platform with that of Roy Cooper, criticizing the governor's record on immigration, taxes, and public safety. The conversation also touches on rising crime in North Carolina cities and the importance of restoring public trust in law enforcement and transit safety. Whatley discusses his work in disaster relief following the devastation of Hurricane Helene, highlighting his role in helping secure billions in federal aid for small businesses and housing. He credits President Trump for pushing federal agencies to prioritize North Carolina recovery efforts.

Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about the disappointing performance from UNC in their highly anticipated game, drawing comparisons to the hype around major football debuts and coaching challenges, including Bill Belichick's transition to the college game. The conversation then shifts to former President Trump’s announcement about relocating Space Force operations from Colorado to Alabama, sparking broader reflections on America’s place in the space race, global power dynamics, and the waning public interest in space exploration. Bo notes that while space once captured national attention, it's now more of a niche story—something both men agree should change. Bo also shares what he and Beth Troutman have coming up Wednesday on Good Morning BT, including coverage of Charlotte’s light rail tragedy, a key Metropolitan Transit Commission meeting, and conversations with cyber expert Teresa Payton and Winthrop University’s Scott Huffmon.
