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. Brett even speculates that both Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries could be unseated in coming elections. Beth also shares what she and Bo Thompson have coming up Wednesday on Good Morning BT, including an interview with cybersecurity expert Teresa Payton about a new AI app that can create synthetic videos from online images
