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

Brett kicks off the program by talking about a breaking and unsettling situation in Washington, D.C., where two National Guard troops were shot near the Farragut area, roughly a mile from the White House. He emphasizes how little confirmed information is available, noting that the incident occurred within the last hour and that the condition of the troops remains unknown.

As reports rapidly shift, Brett stresses the importance of verifying details—such as claims that a suspect is already in custody—before drawing conclusions. He highlights the broader climate of hostility toward the National Guard and other military personnel, expressing concern that the troops may have been targeted. Brett also points out that President Biden, though not in Washington, has been briefed on the situation. Throughout the segment, he calls on listeners to pray for the wounded service members and reflects on the troubling violence affecting cities across the country.

Brett kicks off the program by discussing what he sees as a deepening crisis of seriousness in American political leadership. He points to recent comments from Democratic candidates—like the assertion that men can give birth—as emblematic of a party drifting into ideological theatrics rather than governing realities. Brett argues that these kinds of statements aren’t just fringe soundbites; they reflect a broader trend where performative politics replaces practical problem-solving.

Brett contrasts this with the type of leadership he believes the moment demands: individuals with real-world experience, discipline, and grounding—people who understand national security, economic pressure, and the consequences of global instability. Brett warns listeners that while some candidates chase viral clips and identity-based applause lines, the world is becoming more dangerous, with threats emerging from adversarial nations and extremist financing networks.

Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about all things Thanksgiving — from America’s turkey obsession and favorite side dishes to the most controversial items on the holiday table. They swap takes on green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, stuffing, yams, and the eternal white-meat-versus-dark-meat debate, mixing humor with genuine holiday nostalgia.

Bo also shares what he and Beth have coming up on Wednesday’s edition of Good Morning BT, including a visit from cybersecurity expert Teresa Payton, movie reviewer Sean O’Connell with the latest on holiday films, and a special in-studio performance by one of the featured entertainers in the Novant Thanksgiving Eve Parade. It all leads up to a preview of Brett’s own appearance on their show as the Thanksgiving dinner “expert.”

Brett kicks off the program by talking about identity theft and the devastating fallout facing an ordinary Minnesota family after a Guatemalan migrant illegally used a U.S. citizen’s Social Security number. He highlights the story of Dan Cluver, a married father of two, who has endured 15 years of debt, IRS penalties, garnished wages, and even involvement in a wrongful-death lawsuit — all because an undocumented worker assumed his identity to gain employment.

Brett questions why federal authorities allow this pattern to continue, blasting what he calls the government’s failure to incarcerate or deport offenders who inflict economic and emotional harm on law-abiding Americans. He criticizes the New York Times for soft-pedaling the severity of the damage while portraying the migrant sympathetically. Brett argues that Cluver’s ordeal exposes a broken system — one where normal citizens pay the price while bureaucratic agencies look the other way.

Later Brett discusses the escalating turmoil in Venezuela and argues forcefully for a renewed Monroe Doctrine to counter Nicolás Maduro’s regime. He highlights the suffering of political prisoners, amplified by María Corina Machado’s testimony about torture, disappearances, and repression. Brett portrays Machado as a heroic figure fighting for Venezuelan liberty while criticizing U.S. politicians who, in his view, ignore her plight. He contrasts her struggle with domestic political rhetoric—particularly accusations of “fascism” directed at Donald Trump—suggesting such debates distract from genuine tyranny abroad.
