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 political candidates’ appearance and the importance of professionalism when campaigning for public office. He questions why so many politicians have moved away from traditional business attire, arguing that candidates should present themselves in a polished and professional manner when asking voters for their support. Brett points to Donald Trump’s preference for wearing suits and contrasts it with candidates who choose casual clothing, rolled-up sleeves, fleece vests, and rugged work boots to appear more relatable to everyday Americans. Beth Troutman from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday’s episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Beth talk about young people delaying getting their driver’s licenses and why earning that first license remains an important milestone of independence and freedom. Beth shares memories of getting her first car, a Honda Civic, and the excitement of driving on her own for the first time. Brett and Beth also discuss the rapid growth of artificial intelligence and the potential financial opportunities surrounding companies like Anthropic. Beth reflects on a recent experience on Good Morning BT, where a listener introduced the show to her AI assistant, George, leading to a surprising and memorable conversation. She raises questions about privacy, data protection, corporate responsibility, and the political debates surrounding the expansion of AI and data centers. Beth also shares what she and the Good Morning BT team have coming up, including a visit from technology expert Theresa Payton and additional segments exploring artificial intelligence and its growing influence on everyday life.

Tune in here to this Friday’s edition of the Brett Winterble Show!  Brett kicks off the program with Pete Kaliner for this edition of The Hangover as they discuss Elizabeth Warren’s criticism of billionaire political donations and the growing debate over money’s influence on the 2026 midterm elections. Brett examines reports that Elon Musk has contributed millions of dollars to Republican candidates while Michael Bloomberg plans to spend millions supporting Democrats. He questions Warren’s position on billionaire donors and argues that political contributions are an established part of the electoral process, regardless of party affiliation. Brett also discusses the campaign finance controversy surrounding Democrat Troy Jackson, who is challenging Senator Susan Collins in Maine, after reports emerged about billionaire contributions to his campaign. Later, Brett continues the conversation by discussing political donations, gun ownership, and personal responsibility, arguing that money itself is not the problem but how people choose to use it. Brett responds to a listener’s comments about Elizabeth Warren and other politicians calling for money to be removed from politics, suggesting that candidates could begin by refusing contributions and returning donations from wealthy supporters. He acknowledges that both Republicans and Democrats participate in political fundraising and argues that transparency is essential when it comes to campaign contributions.
