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

Brett kicks off the program by talking about listener expectations surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case and the broader issue of human trafficking.Brett explains there are no new developments to report and emphasizes the importance of focusing on real-time issues like modern-day slavery and human trafficking happening across the United States. He passionately argues that the national conversation should center on stopping the exploitation of vulnerable people, particularly children, and criticizes those who ignore the crisis. Brett urges stronger support for law enforcement agencies like ICE and challenges the Democratic Party’s stance on immigration and public safety.

We’re joined by Breaking Brett Jensen to talk about rising violence in uptown Charlotte and the recent city council candidacy announcement by Krista Bakari. Jensen explains that Bakari, wife of former council member Tariq Bakari, is running to address what she sees as a lack of transparency, escalating crime, and concerns over how transportation funds are managed. The conversation highlights the city's failure to publicly respond to a recent mass shooting and ongoing safety issues plaguing uptown. Brett and Brett also discuss the broader implications for leadership, public trust, and upcoming political filings.

Beth Troutman from Good Morning BT is also here to talk about the upcoming political shifts in North Carolina and the national implications of an open U.S. Senate seat. With Senator Thom Tillis announcing he won’t seek re-election, Beth highlights potential contenders from both parties and the intrigue surrounding who might step forward. She also reflects on growing interest in the Epstein files, local city council races—including Krista Bakari’s candidacy—and national developments like Trump’s proposed investment in Pennsylvania. Beth also shares what she and Bo Thompson have coming up Wednesday on Good Morning BT!
