On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, there was a major FBI bust of an illegal sports betting scheme involving four NBA teams (Charlotte Hornets, Portland Trail Blazers, Los Angeles Lakers, Toronto Raptors) and four mafia families (Bonanno, Gambino, Genovese, Lucchese), netting over $7 million. The NBA Has a problem, people need to have faith in the game. This is a massive blackeye for the NBA. Also, those who say ​that ​Israel ​will ​never ​annex ​the ​West Bank (Judea ​and ​Samaria), ​have ​no ​idea ​what's ​taking ​place ​in ​the ​West ​Bank. Israel ​will ​do ​whatever ​it ​chooses ​to ​do. The recent Knesset vote on annexation was initiated by the left to divide conservatives and the administration. If ​​Judea ​and ​Samaria ​don't ​belong ​to ​the ​Jews, ​who ​does ​it ​belong ​to? Shiloh's history proves Judea and Samaria as ancestral Jewish homeland is crucial to Judaism and Christianity. Later, Zohran Mamdani got his butt kicked at the NYC debate. He's a sloganeer, which is typical of Marxists, but he won't be substantive at all. Afterward, Obamacare is a lie focused on centralization and control rather than affordability, leading to loss of civil liberties, restricted benefits, and second-rate care where patients can't access desired doctors, hospitals, or medicines. It's just like socialist systems in Canada and Britain, from which people flee to the US for better care, yet Democrats aim to mimic them. Democrats caused the government shutdown to maintain and expand Obamacare subsidies and reinstate benefits for illegal aliens, refusing reforms and relying on media to blame Republicans, ultimately destroying Medicare, Medicaid, and employee insurance by inflating healthcare costs. Finally, a Daily Mail article predicts Christianity's decline as America's majority religion amid Islam's rise. U.S. was founded on tolerant Judeo-Christian values fused with Enlightenment, rejected by Marxists and Islamists. This ideological clash threatens free society's survival.

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.
