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

Brett kicks off the program by talking about a breaking and unsettling situation in Washington, D.C., where two National Guard troops were shot near the Farragut area, roughly a mile from the White House. He emphasizes how little confirmed information is available, noting that the incident occurred within the last hour and that the condition of the troops remains unknown.

As reports rapidly shift, Brett stresses the importance of verifying details—such as claims that a suspect is already in custody—before drawing conclusions. He highlights the broader climate of hostility toward the National Guard and other military personnel, expressing concern that the troops may have been targeted. Brett also points out that President Biden, though not in Washington, has been briefed on the situation. Throughout the segment, he calls on listeners to pray for the wounded service members and reflects on the troubling violence affecting cities across the country.

Brett kicks off the program by discussing what he sees as a deepening crisis of seriousness in American political leadership. He points to recent comments from Democratic candidates—like the assertion that men can give birth—as emblematic of a party drifting into ideological theatrics rather than governing realities. Brett argues that these kinds of statements aren’t just fringe soundbites; they reflect a broader trend where performative politics replaces practical problem-solving.

Brett contrasts this with the type of leadership he believes the moment demands: individuals with real-world experience, discipline, and grounding—people who understand national security, economic pressure, and the consequences of global instability. Brett warns listeners that while some candidates chase viral clips and identity-based applause lines, the world is becoming more dangerous, with threats emerging from adversarial nations and extremist financing networks.

Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about all things Thanksgiving — from America’s turkey obsession and favorite side dishes to the most controversial items on the holiday table. They swap takes on green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, stuffing, yams, and the eternal white-meat-versus-dark-meat debate, mixing humor with genuine holiday nostalgia.

Bo also shares what he and Beth have coming up on Wednesday’s edition of Good Morning BT, including a visit from cybersecurity expert Teresa Payton, movie reviewer Sean O’Connell with the latest on holiday films, and a special in-studio performance by one of the featured entertainers in the Novant Thanksgiving Eve Parade. It all leads up to a preview of Brett’s own appearance on their show as the Thanksgiving dinner “expert.”

Brett kicks off the program by talking about identity theft and the devastating fallout facing an ordinary Minnesota family after a Guatemalan migrant illegally used a U.S. citizen’s Social Security number. He highlights the story of Dan Cluver, a married father of two, who has endured 15 years of debt, IRS penalties, garnished wages, and even involvement in a wrongful-death lawsuit — all because an undocumented worker assumed his identity to gain employment.

Brett questions why federal authorities allow this pattern to continue, blasting what he calls the government’s failure to incarcerate or deport offenders who inflict economic and emotional harm on law-abiding Americans. He criticizes the New York Times for soft-pedaling the severity of the damage while portraying the migrant sympathetically. Brett argues that Cluver’s ordeal exposes a broken system — one where normal citizens pay the price while bureaucratic agencies look the other way.

Later Brett discusses the escalating turmoil in Venezuela and argues forcefully for a renewed Monroe Doctrine to counter Nicolás Maduro’s regime. He highlights the suffering of political prisoners, amplified by María Corina Machado’s testimony about torture, disappearances, and repression. Brett portrays Machado as a heroic figure fighting for Venezuelan liberty while criticizing U.S. politicians who, in his view, ignore her plight. He contrasts her struggle with domestic political rhetoric—particularly accusations of “fascism” directed at Donald Trump—suggesting such debates distract from genuine tyranny abroad.

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

Brett kicks off the program with Pete Kaliner for this edition of the Hangover as they discuss the ongoing “Mondami Watch” and the high-stakes meeting between New York Mayor-elect Zoron Mondami and President Trump. Brett and Pete break down whether Mondami will earn a moment in the Oval Office or be relegated to a brief appearance in the press room, arguing that he hasn’t yet proven he deserves more.

The conversation shifts to Mondami’s proposal for free buses and his inability to explain how he’ll fund a $700 million shortfall. Pete likens the promise to a school election fantasy—great slogans, no plan. They explore the safety concerns of free transit, poking fun at the chaos they expect. Brett then asks whether Trump will strike early or wait for Mondami to slip. Pete warns that socialism requires smooth operators, and Mondami fits the mold

Later Brett launched into a fiery monologue sparked by Senator Markwayne Mullin’s recent claims about “illegal truckers” operating without proper identification or licensing. Brett framed Mullin’s comments as a wake-up call, especially with Thanksgiving travel approaching, arguing that unsafe drivers on major highways pose a growing threat to families on the road. He questioned why leaders like California Governor Gavin Newsom and the Biden administration aren’t, in his view, taking stronger steps to ensure road safety and immigration enforcement. Brett portrayed the situation as part of a broader pattern of lawlessness—drug trafficking, human trafficking, and violent crime—that he believes Americans are increasingly forced to tolerate.

Brett kicks off the program by talking about the turbulent political moment the country is facing and the mindset he believes Americans must reclaim to survive it. He dives into the headlines of the day, but quickly pivots to a broader warning: the nation is becoming distracted, divided, and dangerously dependent on politics instead of productivity. Brett argues that too many people expect Washington to fix their problems while ignoring the discipline, creativity, and grit that built America in the first place.

We're joined by Coach Matt Doherty from DohertyCoaching.com to talk about the tensions in Charlotte and the remarkable longevity of LeBron James. Coach Doherty reflects on the recent protests and unrest in Charlotte, noting that while the situation is disappointing, it’s not surprising for a major city dealing with complex political and legal issues. He emphasizes that the law is the law, and although many undocumented individuals contribute positively to the community, the city must still navigate safety concerns, economic impacts, and the real dangers connected to human trafficking.

Shifting to basketball, Coach Doherty marvels at LeBron James beginning his record-setting 23rd NBA season. He compares LeBron’s durability and discipline to earlier eras, recalling stories from Michael Jordan’s early career when players traveled under far less glamorous conditions. Doherty applauds LeBron’s incredible work ethic, physical conditioning, and ability to compete at an elite level despite now sharing the court with teammates who weren’t even born when he entered the league.

Brett kicks off the program by talking about the dramatic House vote and the political pressure surrounding it. He explains that Democrats pushed the vote to get every member on record, and the measure ultimately passed with only one Republican — Clay Higgins of Louisiana — voting no. From there, Brett shifts into the deeper implications behind the vote, tying it to the long-standing controversy surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and the powerful figures who associated with him.

He emphasizes that most Americans never had anything to do with Epstein, yet many elites chose to involve themselves in what he calls a “cesspool of evil.” Brett frames the discussion around moral choices, the battle between good and evil, and the consequences of pursuing darkness for power or pleasure. He cites testimonies from Epstein’s victims and argues that the core question society must confront is simple but profound: What is your soul worth?

Beth Troutman from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Beth talk about the House’s overwhelming 427–1 vote to advance the Epstein records release bill, the Senate’s expected action, and what full disclosure could mean for powerful figures across politics, business, and global institutions. Beth also shares her long-standing work on human trafficking, including her documentary projects, the importance of stopping both the supply and demand sides of trafficking, and the potential societal shock if a client list becomes public.

Beth also shares what she and the team have coming up tomorrow on Good Morning BT, including an interview with a trafficking survivor who just released a memoir and a Charlotte-based organization helping victims rebuild their lives.
