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

Brett kicks off the program by talking about President Donald Trump’s recent visit to England and the indefinite suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. He discusses Trump’s meetings with King Charles and other British leaders, highlighting the media attention and investment discussions that followed. Brett argues that while the trip was filled with pomp and ceremony, its political impact was minimal. He quickly pivots to the controversy surrounding Kimmel, claiming the suspension was a result of poor ratings and a false, slanderous statement about Charlie Kirk’s death. Brett criticizes Kimmel for accusing a right-wing individual of the killing—something Brett says is factually untrue. He also pushes back on Senator Chuck Schumer’s fiery defense of Kimmel’s free speech, pointing out that networks have the right to remove hosts who underperform or cross ethical lines. Brett ends by teasing a powerful audio clip related to Charlie Kirk that he believes Kimmel has likely ignored.

We're joined by Dave Bolick, North Carolina State Auditor, to talk about financial accountability and transparency in government spending. In his discussion with Brett Winterble, Bolick outlines the challenges facing small municipalities across North Carolina, particularly in areas with fewer than 3,000 residents, where a lack of financial expertise puts public funds at risk. He contrasts these issues with problems in larger cities like Charlotte, pointing to the city's controversial $305,000 settlement with the former police chief—funds he says were kept hidden from the public until pressured by his office. Bolick firmly states that taxpayers have a right to know how every penny of public money is spent, regardless of the political optics. He also criticizes the lack of training for financial professionals handling billions in disaster recovery funds. Concerned citizens are encouraged to contact his office or submit tips at auditor.nc.gov for further action.
