Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the political turmoil in Washington, D.C. and how the recent government shutdown represents what he calls “what winning feels like.” He argues that discomfort during this process is necessary and that Americans should not want things to “go back to the way they were.” Brett suggests that Democrats have overplayed their hand, leading to potential political fallout for leaders like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. We’re joined by Bill Roggio from the Long War Journal to talk about the growing violence and instability across Africa and how the U.S. should respond to global conflicts. Roggio explains the complex situation in Nigeria, where Islamic State-linked groups like Boko Haram are targeting Christians amid deep-rooted communal and land disputes. He warns against U.S. military intervention, saying “every problem in the world isn’t our problem.” Brett and Bill also discuss U.S. naval movements near Venezuela, with Roggio suggesting the deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford may be a pressure campaign against the Maduro regime. The conversation expands to Syria, where Roggio criticizes Washington for legitimizing former al-Qaeda affiliates, and finally touches on renewed tensions between India and Pakistan, which he describes as a recurring but contained rivalry between nuclear powers. Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday’s episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about the sudden winter weather in Charlotte, the social media frenzy over flurries, and how people react to the first snowfall of the season. They also discuss reports that Border Patrol and immigration enforcement operations may soon take place in Charlotte, raising questions about timing and local impact. The conversation then shifts to the recent end of the government shutdown, with both reflecting on how long it lasted and how it might affect travel heading into the Thanksgiving season. Finally, Brett and Bo share their thoughts on the upcoming Davidson versus Charlotte basketball game, with Bo predicting a Wildcats win. Bo also shares what he and Beth have coming up tomorrow morning 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 diving into the day’s election coverage, emphasizing the importance of civic participation and encouraging listeners to get out and vote. He notes that while media outlets—including television, radio, and print—don’t yet know the results until polls close, the real story of the day is the voters themselves. Brett frames the election as a moment for reflection on leadership and accountability, blending his characteristic humor with pointed political critique. He discusses local and national races, predicting that Mondami will likely win in New York, though he makes it clear he strongly disapproves of Mondami’s policies and character. Brett portrays the race as symbolic of broader ideological divides in America, warning that electing candidates who, in his view, don’t prioritize American values could have lasting consequences. As he transitions between topics, he teases post-election coverage by Bo, Beth, and the rest of the WBT team, promising in-depth analysis of results and their implications later that evening. Beth Troutman from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday’s episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Beth talk about the night’s big election coverage and the key races to watch both locally and nationally. Beth highlights several contests, including the governor’s races in Virginia and New Jersey, which could signal trends leading into the 2026 midterms, and the Charlotte 1-cent sales tax referendum. She also points out the competitive Concord mayoral race between two Republicans, Lori Clay and Steve Morris, noting how it reflects divisions within the party. Beth shares that she and Bo Thompson will anchor WBT’s live election coverage from 7 to 10 p.m., following their morning show duties. She gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at her election-night setup — constantly refreshing the Board of Elections site and monitoring multiple outlets like NBC, CNN, Fox, and Reuters to track results and analysis as they come in on Good Morning BT!

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the frustrating traffic on I-77 North and the reckless driving he witnessed on his commute from the South Carolina border. Venting his irritation, he criticizes truck drivers and motorists alike for speeding and causing dangerous conditions in the rain, which nearly made him late for his show. Brett humorously proposes building a 45-foot divider between northbound and southbound lanes to stop “rubbernecking” during accidents. Transitioning from local frustrations to national issues, he shifts focus to politics, calling for principled leadership, fiscal discipline, and structural reform in Washington. He condemns what he describes as radical lawmakers and emphasizes the need for Americans to reclaim power from “miniature tyrants.” Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday’s episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about the thrilling Dodgers postseason run and the marathon Game 3 that kept fans up late across the country. The two share laughs about texting during the game, the “sports equinox” that saw all five major U.S. leagues in action, and how baseball fans are running on fumes but loving every minute of it. Shifting gears, Brett and Bo preview the upcoming Talktoberfest event at Heist Brewery, where WBT hosts and listeners will gather for an interactive night of conversation and community.

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the fear some Americans have of strong leadership and what he sees as a cultural shift toward weakness in the country. He contrasts this with previous generations, such as World War II and Vietnam veterans, who he views as exemplifying strength and resilience. Brett questions why the nation has become “soft” and laments the behavior of progressive protestors, describing them as erratic and unserious. He then shares a private conversation with a longtime insider friend who claims Democrats plan to keep the government shut down through the Virginia elections to motivate progressive voters. Later in the show, Brett delivers a fiery critique of the criminal justice system, focusing on the lack of accountability for repeat offenders in cities like Charlotte. He highlights the disturbing case of a known offender involved in the shooting of a toddler, arguing that the system isn’t just broken—it’s spineless. Brett calls out judges and magistrates who repeatedly grant bond to violent criminals, saying they should face consequences alongside the offenders they release. He paints a vivid picture of what real enforcement could look like: federal marshals, military precision, and a zero-tolerance approach to crime. He praises recent cleanups in cities like Memphis and urges similar action in Charlotte, emphasizing that families deserve safe communities. His message is clear—this isn't about political theater, it's about restoring justice and order. With passion and urgency, Brett calls on citizens and leaders alike to draw the line: no more leniency, no more excuses. Beth Troutman from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday’s episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Beth talk about the ongoing government shutdown and how long it could last, with both sharing theories about political strategy, historical context, and the potential impact on everyday Americans. Beth also shares what she and Bo Thompson have coming up tomorrow on Good Morning BT! Political science professor Scott Huffman will join them to break down the shutdown standoff and what it could mean heading into the holidays. On a lighter note, they’ll also highlight a special father-daughter basketball clinic tied to the Charlotte Hornets’ season opener and an upcoming Hornets game celebration 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 America’s global dominance and the underappreciated strength of the United States in 2025. Highlighting the country’s share of global GDP and unmatched military capabilities, he emphasizes that the U.S. remains the “indispensable nation.” Drawing from a piece by Frank Rodriguez, Brett explores America’s cultural and technological leadership, while criticizing China as a “bandit country” that steals innovations rather than creates them. He contrasts this strength with what he views as the self-defeating narrative of Democrats, who, he claims, blame America for global issues. Brett also targets figures like Greta Thunberg, J.B. Pritzker, and John Bolton, calling them irrelevant or misguided, and mocks media figures such as Dana Bash and John King for their past takes on Middle East policy and Donald Trump’s influence. We're joined by Michael Whatley from North Carolina to talk about the recent breakthrough in the Middle East hostage crisis and the broader implications for U.S. leadership under President Trump. Whatley, a candidate for the U.S. Senate, praised Trump’s use of American strength and diplomacy to secure the release of hostages from Hamas, calling it “the most transformative presidential term of our lifetime.” He also criticized Democrats for refusing to give Trump credit, despite global acknowledgment of his role. The conversation touched on Whatley’s support for Trump, the Medal of Freedom awarded to Charlie Kirk, and the importance of strong leadership in facing domestic and international challenges. Whatley also addressed concerns over the potential Schumer-led government shutdown, emphasizing the need for a Republican Senate to advance the America First agenda. Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about President Trump’s high-stakes trip to the Middle East and the successful release of 20 hostages—an event both call one of the most consequential moments of his presidency. They discuss the president’s energy, his deal-making prowess, and the behind-the-scenes efforts of key figures like Jared Kushner and Steve Whitcock. Bo also shares what he and the Good Morning BT team have coming up on tomorrow’s show, including an interview with Major General John Meyer about the recent Pentagon hack and national security concerns. In addition, Sean Flynn from the CRVA will join to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Bojangles Coliseum 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 the excitement surrounding WBT Night in Kings Mountain and the patriotic atmosphere of the Liberty Mountain revolutionary drama. He highlights the community's enthusiasm, the $5 ticket opportunity, and the historical significance of the event, which coincides with the anniversary of the 1780 battle. Brett pivots to national politics, passionately defending Pam Bondi's performance during a congressional hearing. He sharply criticizes Senators Dick Durbin, Maisie Hirono, and Sheldon Whitehouse, accusing them of elitism, political hypocrisy, and disconnect from everyday Americans. We're joined by Jeremy Helmsley from Liberty Mountain to talk about his role as Major Patrick Ferguson and the powerful historical storytelling behind this live production. Dressed in a fully authentic British officer’s uniform, Jeremy gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the Battle of Kings Mountain, which took place on the exact date being commemorated. He explains how Ferguson, the lone British officer in the battle, led a loyalist militia against patriot forces in a fight that some call America’s first civil war. Brett and Jeremy also explore the accuracy of the reenactments, from the special effects to the live flintlocks, and the emotional impact the show has had on audiences—including students brought in for field trips. With multiple performances scheduled, Liberty Mountain offers an unforgettable experience that blends history, drama, and patriotism. It’s more than a show—it’s a chance to walk through the past and understand its weight on the present. Beth Troutman from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday’s episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Beth talk about the ongoing government shutdown and the political gamesmanship behind it, including insights from former White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and Senator Thom Tillis. They explore whether the shutdown could surpass the 34-day record and discuss potential political motivations, like Chuck Schumer’s rumored concerns about a primary challenge from AOC.

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.
