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 We learned that the FBI knew about him in 2019, stemming from an illegal firearm possession case. The Wall Street Journal has a lengthy piece about how numerous people who encountered Routh were unnerved by him and his antisocial tendencies, warning higher-ups about this individual. In short, US authorities were warned multiple times about Routh. Still, first, Larry Provost had an excellent piece about an ex-CIA

and Official Lebanese Health Ministry figures are that nine people were killed in the simultaneous pager explosions, including a young girl, and some 2,750 wounded. The Lebanese government has identified "Israeli aggression" as being behind the attack, while Hezbollah also says it holds Israel "fully responsible". Israel has yet to issue official comment, but there are several reports from the region that war preparations are underway. There are reports of evening Israeli shelling of Hezbollah positions in south Lebanon.

We're joined by Father Bill Nicholas to talk about the current political chaos in the U.S. following a recent debate between former President Trump and Vice President Harris. Father Bill emphasizes that many people, including political leaders, have forgotten how the government is supposed to function, as outlined in the Constitution and Federalist Papers. He criticizes the expansion of executive power and the belief that the president can act without Congress, warning against the dangers of extremist rhetoric.

Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday’s episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about he unusual dynamics of political discourse, contrasting the harsh rhetoric on the campaign trail with behind-the-scenes civility. They reference recent events where President Trump received well-wishes from Vice President Kamala Harris and President Biden after a potential assassination threat, despite the heated public exchanges between them. Brett likens the situation to professional wrestling (WWE), where opponents appear fierce but may share a more cordial relationship off-stage.

and They also reflect on past moments of levity in politics, such as Reagan’s famous debate line in 1984, and discuss the current lack of such moments in today’s political climate. The two suggest reforms for political debates, proposing topic-focused debates with experts rather than media personalities. Lastly, they touch on the evolving campaigns of candidates like Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley as they reposition themselves ahead of 2024. Bo also shares what he and Beth Troutman have coming up Wednesday on Good Morning BT!
