Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the recent appearance of the President of the United States at the United Nations and the technical glitches that occurred — namely, a broken escalator and a failed teleprompter. He uses this moment to highlight what he sees as strong leadership, expressing relief that neither Joe Biden nor Kamala Harris represented the U.S. on that stage. Brett praises the president's speech, calling it a firm defense of Western civilization and a moment of true leadership. We're joined by Gordon G. Chang from Gatestone Institute and a leading voice on U.S.–China relations to talk about escalating tensions with China and instability in the Asia-Pacific region. Brett kicks off the conversation with questions about whether former President Trump should travel to China to meet Xi Jinping. Chang strongly advises against it, explaining how Chinese diplomacy views such visits as a show of submission — a dangerous precedent. Beth Troutman from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Beth talk about the breaking news surrounding the Ryan Ruth verdict and the importance of staying engaged with local justice issues. Beth, joining from the road, shares that she’s en route to emcee a powerful event supporting Fields of Hope—a Charlotte-based nonprofit that combats human trafficking across North and South Carolina. She highlights the organization’s work in rescuing and rehabilitating survivors, offering long-term housing, job training, education, and psychological and spiritual support, all without a time limit. Beth encourages listeners to learn more or donate at https://www.wearefieldsofhope.org/. The conversation takes a heartfelt turn as Brett praises Beth’s commitment to such a critical cause. Beth also gives a quick preview of what she and Bo Thompson have coming up Wednesday on Good Morning BT Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about Election Day and the anticipation around what the results might bring. While he acknowledges the political side of things, the conversation quickly shifts toa reflection on the state of the culture and the presence of something he’s not afraid to name: evil. In a calm but serious tone, Brett unpacks how it operates quietly, how it feeds on doubt and division, and how it shows up in our daily choices. But this isn’t just a warning — it’s a call to stand strong. He encourages listeners to hold onto truth, integrity, and hope, even when the noise of the world says otherwise. Whether Republican or Democrat, Brett’s message is clear: now is the time to build, not tear down. With steady conviction, he reminds us that we’re not alone in the fight — and we are not going to fold. We’re joined by former North Carolina Governor and former Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory to talk about the federalization of a recent case and broader concerns around public safety and city leadership. In a serious but steady conversation, McCrory reflects on how small issues — like the lack of enforcement on public transit and the growing presence of homelessness — have slowly chipped away at the city’s stability. Drawing on his experience as mayor, he recalls implementing curfews, targeting repeat offenders, and rallying community support to confront crime head-on. He stresses that the business community shouldn’t sit back, but should be vocal in holding local government accountable. While he expresses concern about the city’s direction over the last 12 to 15 years, McCrory also reaffirms his deep love for Charlotte. His message is clear: it’s time for common-sense leadership, stronger standards, and a willingness to step up before the damage becomes irreversible. Beth Troutman from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday’s episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Beth talk about the federalization of the tragic transit case that’s shaken the Charlotte community, and the broader conversation around justice, mental health, and the systems that too often fail those who need help — and those they hurt. Beth brings heartfelt insight into the human side of the story, reflecting on the life lost and the many complex layers tied to crime, public safety, and cultural desensitization. She and Brett also discuss how national and even international dynamics echo in our local headlines, reminding listeners that these stories are never just local. Beth also shares what she and Bo Thompson have coming up Wednesday on Good Morning BT, including cybersecurity expert Teresa Payton, political analyst Scott Huffmon Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

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. To learn more about his campaign, Whatley directs listeners to his official site at https://www.michaelwhatley.com/ 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.

Brett shares highlights from his in-depth interview with U.S. Attorney Russ Ferguson, who oversees the Western District of North Carolina. Ferguson revealed that roughly 70% of the gang-related crime they deal with involves groups from Central and South America, many of whom are becoming more sophisticated—eschewing tattoos and graffiti to avoid RICO charges. They also discussed international burglary crews flying into the U.S., robbing homes, and flying out the same day.

Tune in here to this Tuesday’s edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the show with the all-time great "Crazy Train" by a true rock and roll legend, John "Ozzy" Osborne. Ozzy passed earlier today. This was one of those special humans whose impact on this world will not soon be forgotten. We should take a key lesson from Ozzy's incredible life: never give in, never lose faith, and never stop dreaming. You will never know how close you were if you quit; you could be a day away from a breakthrough, but you will never succeed if you quit. And you will never lose if you never stop. Take that leap of faith, keep working, and never stop. If you never give up, you cannot lose! Later, Brett took aim at the growing disconnect between America’s wealthy elite and the working class, highlighting comments from actor Jeff Daniels as a stark example. Brett unpacked what he called “a revolution by the rich against the average American,” pointing out the irony of multimillionaires like Daniels and Hunter Biden criticizing everyday Americans for wanting qualified, certified professionals in critical trades like plumbing and electrical work. Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about the impact of Ozzy Osbourne’s passing and the challenges of covering profanity-laced interviews like the recent Hunter Biden appearance. Brett and Bo dive into the complexities broadcasters face when deciding what content makes it to air—especially when it’s riddled with explicit language. Both agree that excessive censoring can strip audio of meaning and turn off audiences, particularly when families are listening. Bo also shares insights from his powerful recent interview with Senator Thom Tillis, touching on the Epstein files, Laura Trump, and what North Carolina’s political landscape may look like moving forward. Bo also shares what he and Beth have coming up Wednesday on Good Morning BT! Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!
