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

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.

Brett kicks off the program by talking about the return to “normal” in America and the surge of immigration enforcement taking place across Charlotte. Brett explains that federal agents are now actively detaining individuals, checking IDs, and verifying legal status, noting that modern tracking technology makes it nearly impossible for anyone to avoid detection. Brett argues that following the law should not create fear and stresses that consequences are simply part of how a lawful society functions

Brett then shifts to broader political issues, criticizing Democratic leaders for what he views as dishonesty about affordability and for trying to tie Donald Trump to the Epstein scandal, despite testimony that undermines those claims. Brett also calls out activists who scream at ICE officers for attention, dismissing it as empty theatrics.

We’re joined by Don Brown from North Carolina to talk about public safety and the challenges facing local communities. In a recent conversation, Brown discussed the impact of federal law enforcement activity in Charlotte, including Border Patrol raids aimed at disrupting criminal networks tied to drugs and trafficking. He expressed concern about reduced local police staffing as the city’s population continues to grow, arguing that federal assistance has become necessary due to strained resources.

Brown also highlighted broader debates surrounding affordability, from rising food and housing costs to the long-term effects of regulatory policies and health-care expenses. While he noted that safety issues can sometimes be addressed more quickly through law-enforcement support, he emphasized that affordability requires tackling a wider set of economic factors. Throughout the discussion, he underscored the importance of restoring stability, improving community engagement, and pursuing policy solutions that support both security and economic relief for North Carolina residents.

Brett kicks off the program with Pete Kaliner for this edition of The Hangover as they discuss the fast-evolving world of artificial intelligence, its risks, and its unexpected perks. The conversation starts lightheartedly with Pete explaining how he’s mastered cutting his own hair with clippers and guard guides, before shifting into the broader theme of technology and what it means for the future. Brett asks whether Pete fears AI, prompting Pete to admit he’s deeply concerned about a potential “singularity” moment where machines surpass human control.

Brett Is Joined by Breaking Brett Jensen to discuss the impending arrival of Customs and Border Protection agents in Charlotte and the political tension surrounding it. In their conversation, Jensen clarifies that contrary to public fears, this operation is not an ICE-style roundup but a targeted CBP mission focused on combating drug trafficking, gang activity, human trafficking, and identifying dangerous individuals who entered the country illegally. The agents—possibly 100 to 200—will only be in Charlotte for a few days before moving on to New Orleans for larger operations.

They explore scenarios involving autonomous robots, AI-driven warfare, and even the possibility of machines making strategic decisions humans might not like. Despite the ominous possibilities, Brett notes that AI can also produce surprisingly good music—like the new AI-generated country hit climbing the charts. The hour blends humor, curiosity, and a serious look at what tomorrow might hold.

Brett kicks off the program by talking about the reopening of the government and the struggles facing the Democratic Party. He highlights the relief of seeing the government back in operation after weeks of political gridlock and jokes about how exhausting it was to cover nonstop for more than a month.

Brett then shifts to criticizing Democratic leadership, arguing that the party is stuck between aging establishment figures and extreme radicals, leaving no functional middle. He notes that Senator John Fetterman stands out as an exception and praises him for engaging across the political spectrum

We’re joined by Michael Whatley, chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party and candidate for the U.S. Senate, to talk about the recent government shutdown and the direction of the Democratic Party heading into the next election cycle. Whatley criticized Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for prioritizing his political interests over the American people, calling the shutdown a self-inflicted crisis that hurt working families, soldiers, and law enforcement officers. He argued that Democrats have failed to learn from their 2024 election losses and continue to push an agenda out of step with most Americans.

Whatley also raised concerns about the “weaponization” of government agencies against political opponents and underscored the need for strong conservative leadership in Congress. He said he is running to be a reliable ally for President Trump and to ensure that North Carolina has a steadfast, conservative voice in the U.S. Senate.
