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

Speaker 1 (00:16):
He's talk eleven ten night and ninem three WBT. It's Brettwitable.
We are live here in King's Mountain and I am
so excited about what we're doing. We've got a bunch
of people here who are already driving by, waving at us,
talking to us. It's remarkable, it's incredible, and this is
the night that we are going to be celebrating the
WBT night that we're doing here at Kings Mountain. And

(00:41):
there are still five dollars tickets available. I happen to
know about that, And if you want to come by
and be a part of this, it's going to be fantastic.
We have got so much going on here and it
is such a beautiful day right here in Kings Mountain.
So I would just recommend come on over, spend some time,

(01:01):
be here for the show. It's gonna be amazing and
it's gonna be so much fun. So really, it's one
of the best performances that I have ever seen.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
I have seen.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Performances all over the country. This here with the patriotic
the patriotic feelings and the idea of this being the
exact date, the exact date of the battle in seventeen
eighty is gonna it's gonna be amazing. So certainly we're

(01:35):
gonna have a lot of fun and we're looking forward
to it. We're very, very excited to have this opportunity
and we are just so grateful to be able to
do this. And remember it's a Liberty Mountain, the Revolutionary Drama,
and it's phenomenal, it really is.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
It's an amazing thing.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Watching some buses go by, watching some vans go by,
they're setting things up. It's really really remarkable, and it's
a whole lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
At the same time.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
So how many of you people watched the hearing today
with Pam Bondy. I gotta tell you, Pam Bondy was
out of her mind in terms of a good way,
in terms of going right back against these folks.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
You had some of the worst of the worst of.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
The worst who were out there trying to trip her up,
trying to say, you know, why are you not why
are you not stopping Donald Trump from being lawless, being
lawless and not being out there taking care of the
American people. Why are you trying to enable him to
do all of these terrible things that are happening And

(02:44):
She just sat there stoically and gave as good as
she got.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Really, I mean it was it was amazing.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
I have a clip of her talking to Dick Durbin,
and Dick Durbin is a nasty, nasty guy. He is
a very nasty human being. He was the guy who
right after nine to eleven and we started picking up
jahads and we put them in Gitmo. It was uh

(03:19):
Dick Durbin who came out and said that the interrogators
at Gitmo, while while the buildings were still smoldering. By
the way, he came out and said that it was
reminiscent of pole Pot and the Nazis. He equated American

(03:41):
military personnel in the War on Terror to Nazis. Who
does that? Only only only a man unfit.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
For the UH, for the Senate.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
He was never the guy that should have been anywhere
near the Senate. And it's a real problem because he
is somebody who thinks he is somebody and he's not.
He's a very small man. He doesn't understand the back
and forth and the conversations and all of this sort
of stuff. He tried to go after Pam Bondi about

(04:18):
what's going on in Chicago. You have to understand something
about Dick Durbin. Dick Durbin is all about Dick Durbin.
Dick Durbin is all about aggregating power. It's very interesting
to see. He was supposed to be feted back a
couple of weeks ago by the archbishop in Chicago whose

(04:42):
last name is Kupic, and the Catholics went absolutely bananas
because Dick Durbin is one of these like abortion up
to the latest possible moment, and Kepicic was forced to
back down and say, I'm not going to give him
a lifetime award. I'm not going to do any of

(05:04):
that because he saw the ridiculous nature of Dick Durbin.
Dick Durbin's on his way out. I mean, he's not
going to run for reelection. He will be somebody that
will not be well remembered in history because of the
way he treats people. He wants you to understand how
important he is. He does not want you to think

(05:25):
that you're important. And that's a very sad thing. But
you see it with a lot of these folks. You
see it with people like Mazie Herono, you see it
with people like oh oh, yes, the one from Rhode Island.
Holy cow, that guy the Senator of Rhode Island. Shelley

(05:48):
white House, by the way, Shelley Whitehouse, Shelley Whitehouse. He's
like one of these like fifteenth generation patrician, super rich people.
They came over, you know, on the on the on
the Mayflower or whatever, and they caught him a few
months a couple of years ago, being a member of
a whites only beach club, and he had he had

(06:09):
to try to scramble.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
And move and do all sorts of things like that.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
So these are people who are not looking for the
safety and security of the American people in Chicago or
in Portland or in the big cities in America. They're
they're not looking for those kinds of jobs. They don't
want to be those those kinds of people. Why it's
really easy to understand because they feel like if people

(06:34):
start to get to a place where they get to
choose their path and they they start to feel a
little bit empowered, they're afraid. They hide, they're they're fearful
because suddenly people are going to come up to them
and say, why aren't you fixing the streets, Why aren't
you fixing the crime. Why aren't you fixing the drugs?

(06:54):
Why aren't you fixing people who, as you just heard
from Pete Callan, are talking about folks who are trying
to draw a bead on on the on the border
patrol folks and on the people in Ice. This is
not how this is supposed to work. Every turn that
you can imagine will be met by obstacles because you're

(07:18):
only allowed to thrive as much as Dick Durban, Mazi Herono,
Shelley Whitehouse, just a whole panoply of them.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
They will.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
They do not want you to fly fly high if
you're an Eagles fan. They want you to stay, stay low.
And it's really really unfortunate. News Talk eleven three WBT

(07:53):
Brett Winterbow Show.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Great to be.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
With you, guys. We've got an incredible show tonight. It's
going to be absolutely remarkable. It is the best possible
way you can enjoy history in real time and real
and it's just going to be absolutely amazing. The show begins.
I believe it's seven thirty, but you're gonna definitely want

(08:18):
to come out. We are if you're looking for where
we are, we are at the Joy Theater here in
Kings Mountain. So we are at the Joy Theater right
here on the street, and you can see this big,
huge white tent that's above us. We've got to all
the historic flags from the battles that have endured all

(08:41):
these years. We have got amazing cannons. We have cannons
out in front.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
And this is going to be absolutely spactacular.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
This is not to be moved, This is not to
be missed. I'm telling you, you want to come out.
They do have some five they got some five tickets.
You could come by, say hello to us. Everything's accessible
at the in the theater, I believe. Uh, it's a
beautiful theater. The theater here, the Joy Theater.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Is amazing and the show is off the charts. And
I'm not trying to oversell it. I'm just telling you.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
I'm telling you exactly what I'm seeing and it's going
to be an awesome, awesome night. So if you're of
a mind too, you know, come by, say hello. I'm
sitting here. I got I got Craig over here. Craig
is my producer Guy of the Day. I'm over here.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
I'm on a. I'm on a I'm on a.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Dais did you know that, Isaac, I'm on a dais,
which is just I'm elevated.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Now. I don't know if I want to be elevated
because I'm going to suddenly feel like I, you know,
I need to be elevated at all times. I'm glad
you're explained what that was because I was doodling days
a dais. You're not familiar with a dais. I'm a dais.
I'm a dais.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
No, I'm not a dais. I'm on the dais. That's
what I'm doing and most people will understand that.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
You understand that. I see. Let me tell you about Isaac. Okay.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Isaac is a scholar, and he understands exactly what's going
on out there. By the way, I want, I want
to play the clip from Dick Durbin. Can I can
I please play that clip? Do you have the clip
from Dick Durbin being so just Dick Durbiny? I mean,
can can you give me this? Let me just hear
this him. He's talking to Pambondi and boy, oh boy,

(10:30):
he's a he's a chippy customer.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Let's hear it. The word is and I think it's
been a confirmed by the White House, they are going
to transfer Texas National Guard units to the state of Illinois.
What's the rationale for.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
That, Chairman? As you shut down the government, you voted
to shut down the government, and you're sitting here. Our
law enforcement officers aren't being paid. They're out there working.

Speaker 4 (10:50):
To protect you.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
I wish you love Chicago as much as you hate
President Trump. And currently the National Guard are on the
way to Chicago. If you're not going to protect your citizens,
president Trump will.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
How about that? How about the notion of you don't
love Chicago as much as you hate Donald Trump. That's
that's a big swing.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
That's a big, big swing, ladies and gentlemen, And no
no doubt about it at all. That is that is
somebody who knows exactly how to how to how to
dot the eyes and and do the t's and all
that sort of stuff, And that that is that is
something that I.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Like because she wasn't rude.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
She just called him out on on you know, the
way he's positioning these sorts of things. And you know,
you get these people, they they they they think that
they're above you.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
I want to know where the notion of pub servants went.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
I really want to know where did the idea of
being a public servant, because I think public servants are
very important people. These are people who try to, you know,
do good things for their constituencies, who try to get
the better roads, better bridges, infrastructure safety, more cops on
the beat, all of that sort of stuff.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
And then all of a sudden, what do we have?
What do we have? We have a situation.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Wherein we have people that want to get smart about it,
they want to be kind of mean about it. I
don't think that Pambondy is a bad person. I think
there are people who don't like Pambondy because of whatever reason.
But when we sit back here and we think about
all of the stuff that's going on, I want the

(12:37):
streets safer.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Like who.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
On a you know, you know how you're the president
all the time saying like on a twenty eighty eighty
twenty eight right, or a ninety ten issue or a
ninety five to five issue. Safety for everybody is important,
it's compelling. You don't want grandma getting mugged coming out
of the supermarket. You don't want a young person and

(13:00):
getting abducted. You don't want a stray bullet going flying
around and suddenly, now you've got a tragedy on your hands.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Nobody wants to see it.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
I can't imagine a single person who would want to
see that happen and utilize it for some political cause.
I just I can't imagine that's the case. But there
were people that for which everything is political. I will
get you maybe a couple of more cops on the beat,
but you're going to have to write me a big
check or whatever. That's going to be the most important

(13:32):
thing that people can do. And this is I'm not
even being I'm being absolutely nonpartisan when I say this.
The most important thing that you can do when you
are looking to improve a community is to make them safer.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Right.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
The problem with our politics and the stuff that goes
on the problem with this is people think that they
have to extract a pound of flesh for you to
feel like you're going to be safer. And unfortunately, politicians
do that all the time. Politicians do it constantly. You

(14:14):
know I'm not going to help you because you know
you have not paid enough deference to me. Well, why
does everything have to be an exchange like that? Everybody
pays taxes, everybody wants safe streets, everybody wants to understand
what's happening and they want to see their communities strengthened.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
But you have a lot of people that don't want
to do it. You have a lot of people that want.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
To extract or force you into an uncomfortable position. And that,
for my money, that that is one hundred percent wrong,
that is that is not the way we should be
running our business. And when you get into this place,
when you're in the Congress, when you're in the Senate,

(15:05):
when you're in the administration, I think you've got to
be servants. I think you've got to be servants. I
think it's an imperative. But there are a lot of
people who they just want to be fetted. They just
want to be people who are celebrated. They just want
to be people who are, you know, doing their thing
and at the end of the day retiring with a
whole pile of money because they made the right deals

(15:25):
and the right bargains and the red everything else that's
out there. And unfortunately it's about more than money. The
people that you can help are the people that may
not have any money but are relying on you to
advocate for them.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, I get it. You have gas always under its
at always coming and last and bring it up the bass,
knowing a.

Speaker 5 (15:57):
Shotgum bass to kick in the y.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
At so bare.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
News Talk eleven ten nine nine three WBT Brett Winnable
Show Live right here at the Joy Theater in a beautiful,
beautiful part of the country and Liberty Mountain. The Revolutionary
Drama is happening tonight.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
It is so great.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
It's gonna be fun. And if you want to come out,
come out, come out, come over, say hello, wave you
can wave, right, you can wave. You could come by.
Tell us what you're thinking, what you're doing, all this
kind of stuff. And don't forget we've got some five
dollars tickets that are available and you want to definitely
check that out if you have a hankering to do that,
if you want to do that. Always good stuff, especially

(16:46):
with the things that are that are all happening at
the same time. Right you got it, got a lot
of opportunities here, and you're gonna have patriotic people.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
You're gonna be feeling it. I'm telling you right now.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
This is the exact anniversary date, October seventh, the exact
anniversary date for UH for for the battle that took
place here. And it was really in some ways, as
we had some some wonderful people coming into the studio
over the course of the last couple of months. Uh,
it really was in part a civil war, maybe a

(17:20):
first civil war in the United States of America, and
people were, you know, people were very very uh at
each other's throats until people decided, listen, we're either all
going to hang together or we're going to hang separately.
And unfortunately we've we've seen that happen in a lot

(17:41):
of ways.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
You know.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
One of the things that always kind of breaks my
heart is the idea of people walking around saying, oh,
we're going to we're going to have another civil war.
We gotta we got to settle it this time. We
got to do this, we got to do that. Look,
the fact of the matter is nobody wants to go
hurt anybody unless you're a lunatic. And and the fact
of the matter is, Okay, you have a chance to

(18:05):
do incredible things in the United States of America.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
And it doesn't have to be violent. It can be
things where you edify people.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
It can be things where you can you can spend
time doing important and incredible, uh, sorts of sorts of things,
And it's all on you, Right, it's all it's all
on you. When I when I look at these cities
that are kind of creaky, you know, these are kind
of creaky cities. These are places where you've got a

(18:33):
bunch of people they just want to go out there
and be part of the fandango and yelling and screaming
and throwing things at cops and all that sort of stuff.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
To what end?

Speaker 1 (18:42):
I think that's the question that we should always think about. Right,
there's a lot of people that want to see America fail.
There's a ton of people that want to see America fail.
But when we when we get down to it and
to what this means, I think it's a very important
I think it's a very important lesson for for people generally,
because what is being offered up is nialism, Right. It's

(19:07):
the sort of thing where you just want to destroy
for the purpose of destruction. But that's not the answer.
It's never been the answer. You don't build by destroying.
You build by putting your hand out talking to people,
trying to build bridges, trying to do all these sorts
of things that are that are going to much more

(19:29):
bring about much more edification than anything else, and a
lot of people I think, I think people have gotten
a little bit twinged because they don't like the hard
work of actually building bridges instead of bombing bridges or
burning bridges or any of that sort of stuff. I

(19:49):
think that's one of the that's one of the real
problems that we have when we have these conversations with
people because they want to They're like, aht's let's just
have a war.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Why what's the benefit of that.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Like, if you go back in time, if you go
back in time and you think about the American Revolution
and the sacrifices that were made, you had a whole
constituency of people who ended up at the end of
the War of the American Revolution, they ended up going
into Canada. And these are people who had been Americans,

(20:24):
born on American soil, all this sort of stuff. But
they were loyal, they were loyal to the crown, and
they were then sent up into Canada and that was
sort of the option that they decided that they wanted
to take. You also had reprisals, big reprisals, huge reprisals
where you had people who would otherwise be decent members

(20:49):
of society who were hanging out with each other, celebrating birthdays, weddings,
all that sort of stuff. And then what ends up happening.
You end up in a place where you have a
very dangerous reality that you're seeing because suddenly those aren't
your friends anymore. Those are people who are thinking in

(21:11):
a different direction. Politics is a wonderful thing, and I
believe it. I think it's important the way we order
our affairs, the way we do these.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
Sorts of things. But politics is not everything.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
And I know, right for a talk show host, like
you're probably sitting there going, what did Winterbille just say? Yes, yes,
you should absolutely listen to what I'm saying. It's not everything.
It's a factor in your life. And when you really
think about when its the time comes to go vote, right,
where do you go? Where are you going? Where are

(21:48):
you going to vote? You go to your local precinct
made up of your neighbors by and large, and everybody
gets to say and then we just wait for the results,
and then we decide we're going to get back to
business of being productive people. If you if you are
twenty four seven three sixty five one hundred percent of

(22:09):
the time just being enamored by We're going to stop
that guy, We're going to get that girl, We're going
to do that, We're going to do this. You know,
you're missing You're missing a lot of the opportunities. And look,
I've absolutely been somebody who has been overly uh you know, into.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
This sort of stuff.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
But if you balance it and you understand that we're
only on this big blue marble for a short period
of time, uh, you got you got options.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
But unfortunately, you can take it too far.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
And I never I never want to do that, especially
with young people who are trying to feel their way
through the ebbs and the flows of politics, because those
folks need to make their own decisions and they're going
to get it right or they're going to get it wrong,
or they're going to get this that or the other thing.
And you know what, at the end of the day,
we've all voted.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
For something and said, oh, what was I thinking back then?

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Like there are people who voted for George McGovern, there
are people who voted for Michael Dukaka's.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
There are people who voted for Kamala Harris. There are
also people.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
Who voted for other folks who just ended up losing because.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
They just didn't get enough votes. Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon, Well,
Richard Nix.

Speaker 5 (23:31):
It's a whole other story.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
There's talk eleven ten, nine at nine to three WBT
Brett Winterbowl.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Live here at Liberty Mountain.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
Okay, it's not technically Liberty Mountain, but it is King's
King's Mountain, King Mountain, King's Mountain.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
And this is so great because we've got all.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
These people who are coming in here, all of these
folks with all the talent coming in. They're gonna put
on a great show tonight. I'm so excited. I can't
I mean, I really cannot tell you how excited I
am because it's it's it's one of the times where
we get to sit back and we get to think
about the sacrifices that were made. You know that that's

(24:17):
the thing that most people don't ever want to talk about.
They don't want to talk about the sacrifice. They don't
want to talk about stuff that.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
That has to be done, that has to work in
that way. And you know, people have a belief system
that says, eh, you know what, the world, the world.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Is a is a different difficult place. It's unbelievable. We
can't do great things. Think about the people who came
to our country all right, now, admittedly there were some
issues that obviously people people feel like, you gotta recognize

(25:01):
the original settlers who were here, right, the original people,
the indigenous people. Very important to recognize that this show
tonight includes.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
It's a very inclusive show.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
It includes all of the people who were responsible for
winning our liberty from the British. And I think one
of the things if I could impress upon this audience,
it's remarkable to see the pride, the excitement, con the

(25:42):
contested nation nature of what goes on right in front
of you.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
And at the end of.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
The show, you will have a completely different perspective.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
It's amazing.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
I've seen it a number of times, and it's really
really phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
To get to see how.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
These people pull together and how they deal with adversity
and all of this sort of stuff. One of the
great things about being an American is we are a
resilient people. And I'm not just trying to blow smoke.
I'm not just trying to get you guys to you know,
be weepy eyed and all that sort of stuff.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
But the fact of the matter is we have an
amazing stick touitiveness if you really go in there and
you look and you think about the stuff that we've
been able to accomplish. Like think about the period right
after the American Civil War.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
Okay, you go to the American Civil War and you
sit back and you say, Okay, we have got two
sides who are at each other's throats. Are we ever
going to be able to bring people back together? Are
they ever going to be able to talk to each other,
to engage with each other?

Speaker 2 (27:04):
And one hundred years after the Civil War, we're sending
people up to the moon. Like, think about that.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Right at the lowest possible I would argue the lowest
possible point was probably the American Civil War, and probably
before that you would have to say the War of Independence,
which which caused a whole lot of hurt and a
whole lot of drama and all that sort of stuff.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
And the fact of the matter is we go from
that to that to the moon. That's the thing that's amazing.
Because anybody can come and become an American, you have
to do it legally, you have to do it properly,
you have to fill out the paperwork. You gotta go

(27:55):
do all the stuff that you want to do.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
But anybody can become an American, they really can. You
just have to put in the work. And for so
many people who have come here who were not blessed
to be here from you know, the earliest parts of
their lives, they get excited when they get to become

(28:18):
an American citizen.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
We as regular folks.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Should feel like, hey, we're lucky. We could have been
born anytime, any place, anywhere in the world. And as
Native Americans or not so Native Americans or Americans who
have been here for a number of generations, this is
the greatest thing in the world. Like we forget, like

(28:45):
we get in these spats, we get in these arguments,
we get in these fights. But the fact of the
matter is, let's be honest, everybody wants to be here.
Everybody wants to be here, but a lot of people
don't want to do the work to get here. They
want it just kind of handed to them. And what
I think is so cool is with all of this

(29:06):
and all of the warts, and all of the fights
and all of the back and forth, we still have
the strongest country in the world.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
And I don't think you.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Could, you could come to any other conclusion, but understanding that.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
We are we are those people. We are the people
who have liberated around the world, who have spilled blood
around the world to protect our fellow humans. Very important stuff.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
That's one hour down. I got two to go. Stick around.
I'm brent Wood Bowl. We are live at the Joy
Theater in in a beautiful location.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Come by and say hi. Thanks.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
News Talk eleven ten three w T hour number two
underway Brett Winter Bowl in for Brett Winter Bowl seven
oh four five seven oh eleven ten. If you want
to call, you want to ampine, you want to have
an opinion, you want to have a take. We'll take
all of those. Not at the same time, though, obviously
we have to make sure we're we're doing this in
the smartest possible way. Okay, this is one of the

(30:20):
things that I think is really interesting. I know there's
a lot of people who were freaked out about AI.
I know there are people that fear AI. I happen
to have a producer who is definitely afraid of the AI.
But let me just tell you something that the AI
thing is pretty awesome. When you get down to the AI.
The AI is pretty ridiculous. Google's got an extreme smart home.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Makeover that they've done.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Google has a long history of building something interesting, making
a lot of big promises about its future, then seemingly
forgetting that it exists. Now what they're doing is they're
doing extreme makeovers for homes. So the you're gonna, you're
gonna your home is going to be all kind of

(31:09):
wired up together, and.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
It's gonna be uh. On the on the purpose of.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
Having the AI in charge of a lot of things
that you're doing, you're not gonna have to do anything.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
You know what you'll do. You'll wake up in the morning.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Uh, You'll you'll wake up in the morning, you'll check
what time it is, you'll go back to sleep. You'll
be uh collecting checks in no time and all that
sort of stuff.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding about that.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
But the fact of the matter is, I think it's
really cool to see how technology is exploding in so
many ways, and for the first time really. I think
since like let's say, the original dot com period, I
think we're seeing stuff that's incredible that people are actually
able to put.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Their hands on.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Now, does this mean that changes are going to be
coming our way.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
Yes, of course they are. But the world is always changing.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Somebody once upon a time decided that they were not
going to ride a horse, they were going to ride
a car. And people looked at them and said, that thing's.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
Not gonna do anything. What are you doing with that thing?
It's just a contraption. It's not gonna work. It's not
the answer. People like to poo poo great ideas.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
They like to poo poo important things that happen out there,
And unfortunately you get these naysayers who just come out
and they say, oh, it's impossible's not gonna work.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Why would you ever do that? Well, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Why would you get stuff delivered to your house that
you didn't even touch until you got it at your house.
That's called Amazon. That's called that's called Amazon. That's a
lot that's you see. The thing is, over the course
of history, we have gotten to this place where we.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Have been excited about certain things, and then what have
we done? What have we done? Ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
We have been excited, and then we've suddenly made it
something into our lives, into our story, into our energy,
into all of this sort of stuff that we now have. Now,
I think that that's a pretty great thing. You start
to adapt, you start to say, Okay, i'm gonna try

(33:22):
something new, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that.
That's how our civilization will not stagnate. We're not gonna stagnate.
We're gonna be people who are that. Now there is
the dawn of the post literate society. There are people
who are very afraid that young people don't know how
to write a sentence, People don't know how to read cursive,
people don't know how to do the things that we

(33:45):
take for granted as people who understood what that.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
Was all about.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
But these changes happen, except for one change. One change
has happened, and it's not surprising to me at all,
not at all. You could have bet money and won
on this. Jimmy Kimmel's ratings are collapsing. Jimmy Kimmel's ratings

(34:10):
are absolutely faltering. It only took him five shows, five
shows to end up back in the basement. Now do
I take joy in this regard, Not necessarily.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
But I'll tell you this right now.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
Everybody who goes out there and tries to do something
new eventually ends up going back to their safety place.
So you think about what's going on with Jimmy Kimmel.
He was suspended for a week, they let him come
back in. He started immediately dissing Donald Trump and Republicans

(34:55):
and all those people and everything like that. And he
has become a one note sum.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
See.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
He's the opposite of what I was talking about with
getting technology and using it and doing those sorts of things,
because it takes it takes real grit to try something new.
It's very easy to not try something new and to
sit there and to say, listen, we're not going to
do it.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
So listen to this out of the Western journal. I
think this is great. Love him or hate him.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
The adage did bear true when ABC semi funny man
Jimmy Kimmel was yanked off the airwaves for lying about
Charlie Kirk's assassin in mid September. Kimmel came back from
his five day suspension to an undeniable massive audience of
six point four eight million viewers, according to media. Heite,

(35:43):
but if the absence makes the heart grow fonder, yeah,
here's what you got. You got the exact same Kimmel
that you had before. Despite the monstrous viewership for his return,
few of them appeared to have stuck around if one
looks at the Nielsen ratings in that regard for television.

(36:06):
After six point four to eight million people returned for
his next show, though, after he had been put on ice,
it started to fall free fall terribly. First it went
down to two point three, then it went down to
one point seven.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Then it went down all the way down, all the
way down to.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Just behind folks who are out there trying to find
something to look at. You have to be committed to
looking and critiquing the left and the right.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
It's a fact.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
You can't just hammer one side. I don't hammer one side.
I hammer all my sides. And I think I'm feeling
good about that. News Talk eleven, ten ninety nine to

(37:09):
three WBT. It is the Brett waterbul Show, and we
are live here at Liberty Mountain.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
We are it's we are excited for this.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
Program that we're coming up tonight, and we've got a
bunch of great folks who are gonna be spending time
with us. It's gonna be amazing and I really cannot wait.
There are still some five dollars tickets that you can get.
You gotta you want to get them as quick as
you can. But the fact of the matter is we're
gonna have a really great time tonight, patriotic. It's gonna

(37:39):
be amazing. By the way, when you think about this,
this is the exact anniversary of the battle itself October,
right October the seventh, seventeen eighty, and that we are
exactly in this spot at this time, remembering, and it's

(38:01):
going to be phenomenal. It's going to be such a
special night. I can't wait to see how it goes
and how we get to celebrate.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
It's going to be absolutely remarkable.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
DHS takes on Pritzker's Smorgasboard of Lies, releasing a list
debunking his claims. So you have a couple of things
that are happening at the exact same nexus, all right.
The nexus that's happening here is number one, you have
people that want to run for president in twenty twenty eight.

(38:33):
You have people that are sort of favored in positions, right,
so you could say Marco Rubio, jd Vance. Those people
might be trying to vy for the presidency come twenty
twenty eight. On the Democratic side, You've got a whole
bunch of different people. Right, You've got the governor of California,

(38:56):
You've got the governor of Illinois. You've got the governor
of Pennsylvania. You've got the governor of wes Moore down
in Maryland. Right, you have these players that are out there.
Then you have obviously Kamala Harris. You've got Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
Man.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
You've got all of these folks that are kind of
cue up thinking that they can do their thing. But
nobody has really put themselves out there as much as.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
You know it and I know it. JB. Pritzker.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
He's a multi billionaire, he is an heir to a
company that runs you know, hotels.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
He is absolutely you know, rolling in the dough.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
And he has decided that he wants to try to
break apart all the other stuff that's going on here.
That's why you see him on TV constantly. That's why
you see him kicking it with Brandon Johnson and all
those folks. The Department of Homelands Security DHS accused Illinois
Governor JB. Pritzker of serving the American public of schmorgas.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Board of lies.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
As it released as it released a list that it
says debunks the claims about the federal law enforcement operations
in Chicago. So you've had J. B. Pritzker run around
everywhere and say, listen, listen, this is terrible. It's the

(40:31):
worst thing ever. It's just like fascism. It's all that
sort of stuff, right, that's what he's talking about. The
federal pushback comes as the Democratic governor in Chicago, Mayor
Brandon Johnson, filed a lawsuit Monday to block the Trump
administration from deploying hundreds of National Guard troops from Illinois

(40:51):
and Texas in Chicago and surrounding areas.

Speaker 2 (40:54):
Quote. Our message to JB.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Pritzker, get out of your mansion and come see Chicago,
said Tricia mcgloughlin.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
She is the DHS Assistant secretary. Quote. If JB.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
Pritzker actually walked the streets of his own city, he
would see domestic terrorists and violent rioters attacking police officers
and the scourge of violent crime as a direct result
of his own policies. Very effective indictment, that's a very

(41:29):
effective one, because she is taking JB. Pritzker to come
into Chicago where he's from, and he is not spending
time in the places that people are feeling unsafe. He
won't do it. Why you want to know what I
think it is. I think it's because he's afraid to

(41:50):
go to rough parts of town. That's really the only thing.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
That he could possibly use as an excuse.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
The DHS added that it is setting the record straight
about Pritzker's lies and defending the brave men and women
of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection
from his smears and slanders. During a press conference on Monday,
Pritzker said that there would be an unconstitutional invasion of

(42:21):
Illinois by the federal government. President of the United States
can deploy people anywhere. You can take him out anywhere.
You can go for a walk anywhere. The President could
go walk right down the middle of Chicago, and I
bet you he'd be swarmed by people who would be like,
oh my gosh, thank you for coming here, because we
don't know what this particular governor is doing at this

(42:43):
stage of the game. You've seen him do it in
different locations. You saw him do it in the Bronx,
you saw him do it in New York City, you
saw him do it in Chicago. You saw him do
it in Bedminster. He's not afraid to go and see people.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
Now, it's nice when you have really strong security and
you can go and do that stuff.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
But what's Pritzker gonna do. He won't even walk around
in his own neighborhood. What does that say to you,
mister and missus America. What does that say to you.
He wants to run his mouth, he wants to try
to become the president, he wants to do all this stuff,
but he's he doesn't go anywhere to go see what's
really happening. And in fact, it was a questionable move.

(43:23):
Overnight last night, yesterday, and until last night was the
issue of whether or not the ice officers who are
working to take dangerous criminals off the streets, they're not
pulling moms and dads and little babies out of their homes.
They're going after the bad ombres. You have seen something

(43:48):
that is remarkable. You have the audio of it. You
can hear it, you can look at it. It is
what happened when the folks in Ia were ambushed and
the Chicago PD.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
Did not did not respond.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
They said, we are not answering calls for help if
it's involving Ice Ice folks. So now we're gonna bifurcate
all of that sort of stuff. Come on, give me
a break. What if those ice officers who were out
there doing what they were doing, what if they had
been shot and killed? What would happen then? What would happen?

Speaker 2 (44:33):
Then?

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Okay, I'm remote here, just so that the audience knows
I'm remote. I'm here up at Liberty Mountain, ky King's Mountain.
It's a really great place to be here. We've got
an incredible show that's gonna start at seven thirty tonight.
It's gonna be amazing. But between now and then, we're
gonna be schmoozing and talking and spending time with all
these incredible people who are starting to show up. Here's

(45:00):
the question I have though here. Okay, Pam Bondy sat
for a whole bunch of the morning and afternoon, and
a whole lot.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Of stuff was was was revealed.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
A whole lot of stuff was you know, people talking
about the different sort of challenges and all that, all that.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
Sort of stuff. Right, Okay, I want I want you
to hear I don't even know why Adam Schiff tries.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
I just I don't even know, I don't even understand
why he tries because he is on permanent pay no
mind lists.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
I mean, I'm telling you right now. So this is
Pam Bondy. She's a little heavy handed, but I mean
it's Adam Schiff and he's trying to poke the bear
and she's poking him right back. So here is the
back and forth from earlier today about Pam Bondi and uh,
she wants to defend all of the people that he's

(45:54):
trying to insult. So let her rip Isaac was.

Speaker 3 (46:00):
Work for me? You would have been fired because you
were since Congress.

Speaker 6 (46:04):
You're lying. We can stipulate to.

Speaker 7 (46:06):
You can stipulate to all your personal taxs on the
Democratic members of the committee.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
Personal attacks.

Speaker 3 (46:10):
You've been FBI director.

Speaker 7 (46:13):
But we're interested in. What we're interested in is the
answer to these oversight questions.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
So you you were, you were asked, You were.

Speaker 7 (46:23):
Asked by good people, A regular word. Me'm sure, so
I can ask a question. You were asked by my
colleague from Vermont.

Speaker 4 (46:30):
Was she was?

Speaker 6 (46:31):
She was?

Speaker 2 (46:32):
She worked for me?

Speaker 3 (46:33):
You would have been fired, you were censored by Congress.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
You're lying.

Speaker 7 (46:37):
We can stipulate to, you can stipulate to all your
personal tacks on the Democratic.

Speaker 3 (46:42):
Members, personal attacks you've been.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
Let me tell you something. So she's I think she's
got a cold. I'm serious. I watched a lot of
the testimony and then I listened to it when I.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
Was driving up here. She is in no mood to
play games with shifty shift.

Speaker 4 (46:59):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
She she she just about took. She took, she just
about took the the the.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
Laquer off of what's his name, Uh, Shelley Whitehouse, Uh
from Rhode Island.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
We have other stuff from her, though, too, don't we, Isaac.
We have that.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
We have that one clip of her talking to Who's
who is the one that she's talking to. I'm remote,
so I don't have about nobody sheet in front of me. Klobachar, Yeah,
colob Char Okay, So this is Amy Klobuchar. She's she's
like a kind of run of the mill sort of
Democrat person. And they got a little back and forth

(47:39):
going on there. Let's let's hear from Klobachar and uh
and and of course uh Pambondi.

Speaker 8 (47:46):
Response, this was you politics will not play a part
in my decisions. And you also said the Justice Department
must be independent and must act independently. Do you believe
that you have upheld back commitment.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
I absolutely have upheld that commitment, Senator. I pledged that
I would end the weaponization also of the Justice Department,
and that America would once again have a one tier
system of justice for all. And that is what we
are doing in this country.

Speaker 8 (48:19):
We saw this with the President directing an investigation prosecution
of Chris Kreb's a former head of cybersecurity Belisa Cook,
who is the current governor of the Federal Reserve director
COMY and the President and I know you have said
that you will not discuss discuss discussions you've had with

(48:40):
the President about COMY.

Speaker 4 (48:42):
Is that correct.

Speaker 8 (48:45):
That you won't testify here about that, because I was
going to ask you if you received advice, instruction, or
request from anyone at the White House to direct the
Department to engage in any investigations prosecutorial acts, including decisions
not to investigate or prosecute anymore.

Speaker 3 (49:03):
I'm not going to discuss any conversations.

Speaker 8 (49:05):
But then, how about the truth social post on September twentieth,
twenty twenty five, in which the President said we can't
delay any longer. Pam using your name not bringing criminal
charges or killing our reputation, his words and credibility, and
then goes on to tell you to prosecute a member

(49:26):
of this committee, to prosecute the Attorney General of New York,
and to prosecute James Comey. Do you consider that a
directive to the Justice Department?

Speaker 3 (49:36):
Senator Clovish are President Trump is the most transparent president
in American history, and I don't think he said anything
that he hasn't said for years.

Speaker 9 (49:47):
Hmm.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
Okay, So you're seeing she's not just being rude to anybody.
She's got reasons why she's saying the things she's saying
to people like Adam shiff But this one, this one
is one of the great clips of the day.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
Josh Hawley.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
Now, remember yesterday we talked about how we found out
that there are eight senators that were spied on. Eight
senators were spied on by Jack Smith, and Josh Holly
happened to be one of them. This is cut number nineteen,
Josh Holly on being spied on by Arctic frost.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
Go SENA Judiciary Committee member just stepped out of that hearing.

Speaker 9 (50:34):
What did you hear from Dan Bongino and the FBI
last night on this. Well, what I know, Bill, is
that they targeted the DOJ. The Biden DOJ specifically targeted
a group of us. They asked for our call records
so they could see who we talked to, who called us.
I believe also track our location over a period of days.
This is outrageous. I mean, this is really unbelievable. It's

(50:56):
blatantly unconstitutional. It's a violation of the First Amendment. It's
a violet of the separation of powers. And it also
goes to show you the extent to which the Biden
administration was so corrupt using the FBI to target their
political enemies. And let's not forget they didn't just do
it to senators. They did it to school board parents
who went and spoke up with those school board meetings.
They did it to ninety two conservative organizations, including Charlie

(51:19):
Kirk's Turning Point USA. They tried to recruit spies in
the Catholic parishes. That's the kind of people we were
dealing with here.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
Bill.

Speaker 9 (51:26):
We need a total investigation, a thorough investigation into everybody
who was responsible, and I think there needs to be prosecutions.

Speaker 1 (51:33):
I think what we're going to see is WITSEC. I
think I think that Jack Smith is going to end
up in the WITSEC program. That's where the mobsters go,
because you know, you got to relocate them into some other.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
Location because this is this is not going to go easy.
This is absolutely not going to go easy. And so
we still have to wait and see what all this means.
But they only found out in the last twenty four
hours that they were being spied on. What how many, Isaac?
How many congressmen and senators have you ever spied on? It? Zero?

(52:06):
Wait a minute, you mean that's not just like a
regular thing. Is that just not a regular thing? Is
that what I'm talking about here?

Speaker 1 (52:13):
Okay, all right, I guess I gotta step off, I
get a step up and spy on some of these people.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
Then I guess I guess I have to do it. No,
I don't. I would never do that because I think
it's unfair and I think it's a wrong, very wrong.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
Here's talk eleven sand Down a nine three WBT. It's
great to welcome back to the program one of my
favorite people in the whole world, and that is Beth
Troutman joining me.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
Hello, Beth, how are you? What's on your mind? Today.

Speaker 4 (52:47):
Hello, Brett Winterable, Boy, howdy it With the way the
world's going and how quickly it's moving, there's a ton
on my mind.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
Okay, this is great.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
So what is your best guess as it relates to
the shutdown?

Speaker 2 (53:03):
When will the shutdown end?

Speaker 1 (53:08):
What do you guess? And I said four days? I
was obviously way too optimistic.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
What are you thinking?

Speaker 4 (53:14):
Well, we had I've been going back and forth with this.
I was wondering if we were going to end up
breaking a record with what happened during President Trump's first
term at thirty four days. Here's my thought, and this
comes from a conversation we had with former White House
chiefs of Staff McK mulvaney on our show on Monday,

(53:36):
and he believed and said that he thought it would
last about a total of fourteen days. Because at the
fourteen day period is when those paychecks, those the payment
that needs to go out to a lot of the
federal employees who are currently furloughed or working for free,

(53:58):
such as the people who are working, you know, in
airtime control. That's when those paychecks would technically supposed to
come out for a lot of folks, and that that's
going to end up being highly problematic and that the
government will figure out, or at least the Congress will
figure out how to reopen as to avoid that kind

(54:24):
of issue. However, there are reports today that President Trump
is floating the idea of not offering back pay to
these furloughed workers, which I think that was a law
that was put into place if I'm not mistaken, in
twenty nineteen. So if that's the case, then to me,
that might signal that they think it's going to move

(54:46):
beyond that fourteen day period.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
I mean, the thing about this is we can sort
of forecast the shutdown thing right and say, okay, twenty
one days, forty days, whatever, it's going to be. Problem
is we cannot factor for weird things that might happen.
A hurricane makes sure and destroys a swath of of

(55:11):
of of of a of a state, a terrorist attack
occurs in New York City or some other places. So like,
this is where it gets really kind of sketchy, because
it's not there is like no playbook for the shutdowns.
There's just the reality of the shutdown happening on its own,

(55:33):
on its own accord, and then it just at some.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
Point we just got to go, WHOA, Okay, how are
we going to fix this? I mean, that's one of
the problems.

Speaker 4 (55:41):
Yeah, well I think it's it's one of the problems.
That is one of the reasons why the American public
is so frustrated with what happens in Washington. You know,
they're frustrated, I think with with both both sides of
the aisle quite often for what's going for what's going on.
You know, there aretainly if you watch any political show,

(56:02):
depending on and you know you are the same as
I am. You watch every channel to see how things
are being spun, you know, to see how people are
talking about issues. And if you if you hear Chuck Schumer,
this is a Republican issue, and this is an ACA
funding issue. And if you if you hear Mike Johnson,
you know this is this is Chuck Schumer shutdown. And
they both have their spin tactics. We were talking with

(56:26):
Tom Senator Tom Tillis. He he called into our show
kind of randomly today and we talked a little bit
before he went into the judiciary hearing with Tam BONDI
actually we talked a little bit about the shutdown and
why he thought that the Democrats were playing hardball the
way that they are, and a he said it was
to to show strength against Donald Trump to their base,

(56:49):
but also that Chuck Schumer is nervous about a potential
a potential run against AOC and what that might mean
for for his seat, and this is a playbook for
him to showcase some strength.

Speaker 2 (57:05):
So let me ask you this, do you think do you,
in all seriousness, do you think that AOC would beat
Chuck Schumer A in a one.

Speaker 4 (57:15):
On one in a primary?

Speaker 1 (57:21):
Yeah, because I mean there's really no because it's a
it's a Democrat city.

Speaker 4 (57:26):
Yeah, I'm thinking that through because of you know, when
you have a primary, you're thinking about anywhere between a
in a midterm a A in a Senate race. You're
thinking about maybe fifteen percent turnout, right, So you're thinking
about hardcore voters who pay close attention to the issue

(57:50):
and people who are potentially potentially if you're talking about
Democrats far left, she could put up a good fight
for him in a primary because of the sheer number
of people who turn out for that vote and the
kinds of voters that turn out in a primary. So
he might be nervous about.

Speaker 1 (58:08):
That yeah, I look, I agree with you, and I
think with the fact that Mondami's going to win this election,
I think Schumer is finished and I think it's it's
it's all but the crying at that stage of the game.

Speaker 2 (58:20):
I do, I do.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
I think I think she's going to defeat him, and
I and I and I also expect to see King
Jefferies getting turned out as well, because they what what
are they doing?

Speaker 2 (58:32):
You know, it's it's one of those weird deals. What
do you have coming up on the show tomorrow, my friend?
What are you thinking?

Speaker 4 (58:38):
Well, tomorrow we have our cybersecurity expert Teresa Payton. We're
going to talk about this new app that can take
faces from the Internet and create AI videos wow, and
and show you the the benefits of that, but also
the risks of a technology like that. We also have, uh,
We're going to be talking about politics. We're going to

(58:58):
be talking about news headlines. We're going to try to
get you smiling as you as you head into your
day and keep you keep you focused on the positive, right,
keep you focused on this, focus on the fact that
we hope this government gets back to work.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
Great stuff. Can't wait.

Speaker 1 (59:14):
Thanks so much. I appreciate you coming by, my friend.
Thanks all the best, Thank you, you got it. News

(59:39):
Talk eleven ten nine three w b T. It is
great to be here with you. Oh what a what
an awesome night tonight is going to be. And I
know you want to be a part of it. You
want to see what's going on. You want to understand
all the great stuff that that is happening here. I'm
I'm sitting astride to these incredible people who are the

(01:00:03):
historical folks who are part of this show tonight. It
is going to be incredible. I just went I walked
over and I looked at one of these rifles, and
I'm telling.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
You, it is spectacular.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
This is such a great performance that's gonna happen tonight.
You're if you're coming in, if you're getting ready, you
are going to be in for a great, great time.
Let me tell you that, without any any reservation, it's
going to be amazing. And I'm looking right now at

(01:00:42):
the at these folks right across from me.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
I'm gonna take a picture of them, and.

Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
I'm gonna send it to you, Isaac in real time
because I can multitask.

Speaker 2 (01:00:49):
But I've got these really cool.

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
People who are in their period gear and they are
they are looking at spectacular and it's just such a
cool thing to do. When when you get to spend
time with these folks who have spent all the effort
of the craft and things like that, it's it's remarkable

(01:01:11):
to see this because this is history coming alive. And
I think one of the things that people need to
bone up much more on is the history of this area,
this community, and broadly speaking, what happened that brought to
us our freedom and our liberty. This, most of all,

(01:01:34):
I would say, this is a this is a love
letter to the people who came before us. And again
it's important to realize that we are on the exact
date of this battle from seventeen eighty. So if I
were to if I were to look at my numbering

(01:01:55):
here by the way, we're up here at Liberty Mountain,
it's awesome and it's a it's a great, great performance
that's gonna happen tonight. We've got we've got food coming in,
we've got people coming in, we've got tickets.

Speaker 2 (01:02:10):
Uh, it's gonna be absolutely fantastic.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
And I'm only bragging about this because, like I grew
up out in West Texas, Okay, and being out in
West Texas, I always longed for the idea of coming
to the eastern part of the United States and to
seeing the history and and attentioning, you know, getting my
attention focused on the great stuff that that happened over

(01:02:34):
the course of the history here in the East.

Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
The West is a really cool thing.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
I love the I love the you know, going and
seeing where Billy the Kid was and and all the
all the stuff the conquistadors who came up from Mexico,
uh into uh into the southern part of the United States.
You have the wild West, you have all that sort
of stuff. You have the people going out on the
Oregon Trail and and all that other stuff. But the

(01:02:59):
the heritage here that is so remarkable. And I mean,
my gosh, within what is it, twenty five miles, you
can hit a whole bunch of different things, and that's
what is so cool. And then you have these folks
whose craft is to bring you a lot, to bring
you to a live feeling. I'm looking at a redcoat

(01:03:24):
right now. I'm looking at a couple of foresters. I'm
looking at a musician, I'm looking at the fellows who
are checking their their their heavy duty rifles and all
of this, and it is so cool.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
It is so cool because they every.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
One of these people who is in this play and
in this performance, these are they are playing the people
who were the people, and that is really awesome. I
think we're gonna okay, I think I think we're about
to have some fire firepower coming out here in a second. Uh,
I think we've got We've got we've got some really

(01:04:05):
cool stuff. I'm I'm almost certain that they're gonna they're
gonna fire a few rounds here and just a matter
of moments, because you.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
Know, you got to practice.

Speaker 1 (01:04:16):
You got to practice when you're gonna be taken on
and when you're gonna be taken on some of these
rough and ready folks.

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
And that's what's awesome, you know, that's what's awesome. So
I think, I.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
Think, I think this is uh, this is gonna be
a very exciting night. You're going to hear cannons going off,
You're gonna hear uh fire power happening, all of this stuff.
And these are people who represent real people who were
part of this originally. And uh, I mean, this is
this is this is fantastic. This, this is they're about

And I can't I can't wait to see how all
this is going to go.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
Isaac.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
I'm stalling a little bit here because now they're lining up.
Remember the guy that was in our studio the final
time this this week, he's he's lined up with them.
We've got Native Americans, we've got African Americans, We've got
we've got rebels, We've got all of these folks, and
they're getting ready to uh to let it, let it

(01:05:42):
wing and let it sing, which is going to be
absolutely fantastic. I love history and I always have from
from being a kid. I always wanted to to to
see these sorts of things when you couldn't.

Speaker 2 (01:06:00):
I'm pre I'm pre Internet. And here they are.

Speaker 1 (01:06:03):

keep keep an eye on all of this. They are
all preparing, they are, they are loading their they are

round right here.

Speaker 2 (01:06:58):
Three two, one, Wow, there you go. I'm Brett Witterble.
I love this.

Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
News Talk eleven ten nine nine three WBT. It's the
Brett Witterable Show, and we are live here at at
an incredible, incredible show that we're going to be seeing tonight.
It wouldn't be to Octoberfest without us raising a glass together, right,
So join us for wbt's Talktoberfest News and brus on Wednesday,
October twenty ninth, the final Toctoberfest event will be happening

(01:07:39):
over at Heist Brewery and Barrel Arts from seven to
nine pm. The WBT air team's going to be on
hand to hear your thoughts on the elections that will

News and brus when day, October the twenty ninth, presented

(01:08:03):
by Craft Body Scan. Go to wbt dot com for details.
It is It is great to be able to get
to spend time with you guys and have conversations. Is
really awesome stuff that we've got happening coming up in
that period of time. Now, we got a lot of
other stuff that's that's also moving in real time, and

(01:08:25):
I don't want to jettison the idea.

Speaker 2 (01:08:27):
Of what I was talking about a couple of minutes ago.

Speaker 1 (01:08:30):
And one of the things that I think we've got
to pay close attention to is this reveal of the
spying of the senators, Like this is something that's going
to have to be answered. And it's interesting to me
because today if you think about how the government's shut down, Right,

(01:08:51):
isn't it strange that the House is out? But you
saw the Senate in session. Oh, they were doing hearings, right,
they were doing hearings. So it wasn't necessarily all of
the senators sitting in there debating and deliberating. But a
lot of people wanted to be on TV today, a
lot of people wanted to try to figure out what

(01:09:12):
it is that needs to happen. But but you know,
we are looking at some some pretty scary stuff coming
out of all of the stuff that we are now doing. Right,
d OJ illegal alien gang members, solicited murder of Border
Patrol chief.

Speaker 2 (01:09:32):
That's John Binder doing that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:36):
DHS releases zero migrants into the United States for the
fifth consecutive month. That is huge. Also, we've got Nolty.
We've got Nolty going after AOC, going after AOC because
AOC took a big swing at at Stephen Miller. So

(01:09:58):
we've got these person fights that are happening. We've got
all of these other sort of things that are all
part of the mix.

Speaker 2 (01:10:05):
Here.

Speaker 1 (01:10:06):
Declassified documents, Obama administration withheld reports critical of Biden's Ukraine visit. Now,
this is an important story, Okay, this is a very
very important story because apparently at one point President President

(01:10:30):
President Biden was nervous about giving aid to the Ukrainians
because he felt it might reflect poorly on him and
his business interests that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:43):
Hunter Biden was a part of.

Speaker 1 (01:10:44):
And so I'm not trying to I'm not trying to
smear the former president, but I guess he was very cognitive,
I know, very very interesting word to use, but he
was very cognitive of the idea of what is this
going to look like if I have to send weapons
to Ukraine? Because obviously he understood what the what the

(01:11:08):
message looked like when it came to the whole situation
involving money going to Ukraine and all that sort of stuff.
And you know, we we've got we've got a number
of things that we could ask questions about. My guess
is he would never want to ever talk about that again,
never want to look at that again. And it makes

(01:11:28):
me wonder though, if he held back, if he held
back specifically so as to not be caught up in this,
did he soft soap the the the attack and I'm
not saying that that Biden was part of the attack,
but if you remember, what was the thing that Biden
said to give Vladimir Putin an exit strategy, and the

(01:11:53):
exit strategy was, Hey, hey, if you just if you
just penetrate a little bit, right, Isaac, if you just
penetrate a little bit.

Speaker 2 (01:12:06):
Into Ukraine, We're not going to make a big deal
about it. Now, Why would anybody say that.

Speaker 1 (01:12:15):
I think what he was trying to say to Vladimir
Putin was, hey, if you're just gonna if you're gonna
penetrate just a little bit, just just don't take any
territory and things will be okay. It was a weird
sort of response from Biden in that moment. And so
what ended up happening was people were saying, wait a minute,

(01:12:38):
Wait a minute, this is Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin's a
vicious guy. Why are we giving him any quarter? Why
are we giving him any quarter when it comes to
the penetration of sovereign territory, lush sovereign territory over at
at at at at Ukraine. And so what was that
all about? How did that all come about? It doesn't

(01:13:00):
make any sense, And I think he was trying to
cover up. I think he was trying to cover up,
and he was trying to say, listen, listen.

Speaker 2 (01:13:09):
I can't look like I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:13:13):
Favoring any side. That's what I think he was doing.
I'm genuinely, honestly telling you what I think. I'm not
trying to you know, soft soap it or anything like that.
But I am telling you that this is a weird
deal because Biden had to have been conflicted, conflicted in
the extreme because of what it was that he was doing.

(01:13:36):
That's the problem. That is the entirety of the problem.
So what are we going to end up with? What
are we going to see? How is this going to go?
I don't know, but I do know this. You've got
a different guy in the House that is white. The
White House of the United States is now occupied by

(01:13:57):
Donald Trump, and he's working two different deals to try
to get this stuff fixed. The stuff that was left
behind when you had Biden not knowing what to do
about the Russians and when you look at what happened
with Hamas as well, big stuff, bad stuff, crazy stuff,

(01:14:17):
And it is just getting underway. We're not even a
full year since President Trump has been in office, and
who knows what comes next. There's talk eleven ten nine

(01:14:39):
three WBT. My name is Brett Widerble. It is a
pleasure to be with you. We are waiting for this
performance that's going to begin just about seven point thirty tonight,
and I'm looking at all these great people who are
they're doing rehearsal, they're doing things. It's a really great
thing that they've got happening going on here at Liberty Mountain.

(01:15:00):
King's Mountain is where we are spending time today here
at the Joy Theater. And I'm telling you, if you're
if you're in the sound of my voice and you
want to come see something really awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:15:11):
Come here.

Speaker 1 (01:15:11):
They got food trucks, they got young people, older people,
a whole different set of folks who are there. And
I think, I think it's going to be just a really,
really wonderful night tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:15:23):
But in the in the.

Speaker 1 (01:15:24):
Same vein of that, right, we have to also look
at some of the other stuff that is that is happening.

Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
And I know, like here, here's here's my here's.

Speaker 1 (01:15:33):
My issue with Isaac. Isaac sometimes and Lonnie too, they're doubters.
They doubt certain things, and I've I've tried to make
sure that they understand, you know, you don't have to
doubt everything. You don't have to be skeptical of of everything.
And so one of the things that I've been I've

(01:15:57):
been looking at in the last a couple of weeks.
I haven't really mentioned it very much, but I haven't
really mentioned.

Speaker 2 (01:16:07):
It a lot. And it's it's it's the three Eye
at Liss. Oh, here we go fellas. Wait wait, wait
a minute, what's the what's the problem? Wait? Wait?

Speaker 4 (01:16:17):
Wait?

Speaker 2 (01:16:17):
Wait? Why are you throwing shade on me? What? What? What
is happening here? Was not sorry about that? I was down.

Speaker 1 (01:16:22):
Okay, okay, So so hold on a second, Hold on
a second. This is important stuff because I found out
something else that people do not yet know about. So
we have Three Eye at Liss, But you know what
else is coming. There's apparently I don't know if I
should tell you because you're you're not gonna You're not

(01:16:44):
gonna take it seriously, Isaac, And I know this audience
needs to have this information.

Speaker 2 (01:16:50):
I just wanted to let you know that you got
to have the information.

Speaker 1 (01:16:55):
There's a potential for an exploding planet coming near us?

Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
How about that? How you're feeling? How you're feeling about now?
Now we got potential.

Speaker 1 (01:17:06):
Exploding planets could okay, well, hold on a minute. It
might still be okay because if you have if you
have that thing in the right position, we might be
able to get like we might be able to put
it in the in the corner pocket. By sending the

(01:17:26):
three I atlas out there, we might just be able
to like bing bing bing bing bing and there you go.
That could happen.

Speaker 2 (01:17:33):
We're playing pool with planets.

Speaker 1 (01:17:35):
Now why not? Why are you so? Why are you
so anti planet? You're a planetist. You're a planetist. That's
what you are. You are a planetist. Planet There are
people who who want to know about this. Okay, we
we have people that want to know about this sort
of stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
And one of the things, one of the things, let
me let me let me just I'm just gonna find
you this piece of evidence.

Speaker 1 (01:18:01):
And this is a real story. So you know, it's
you you take it or you leave it. I have
no control over over any any of this stuff. But
let me let me give you, let me give you
the bona fides. That's right, I said, the bona fides.
I'm going to give you the bona fides and you're
gonna be able to figure out how how you want
to how.

Speaker 2 (01:18:19):
You want to approach this. So here we go.

Speaker 1 (01:18:23):
We have a planet, we have a planet that is
coming towards us, and we have to do something about it.
I don't know what that answer is going to be,
all right, because I think we are way out of
our lane with with this stuff that that goes on.
And you know, we have to understand that we we

(01:18:43):
can only control what we can control. So here is
the story. At any moment, yes that's in the article.
At any moment, it could explode. NASA flags bizarre behavior
in a single star.

Speaker 2 (01:19:00):
It's a star. It's a star that's going to potentially
blow up.

Speaker 1 (01:19:06):
NASA has been closely monitoring the behavior of a phenomenon
in the Corona Borealis constellation for some time now. Recently,
scientists noticed that this body was behaving somewhat.

Speaker 2 (01:19:20):
Strangely, sort of like Hunter Biden maybe. Now.

Speaker 1 (01:19:27):
Recently scientists have noticed that the body was behaving somewhat strangely.
They decided to investigate further and discovered that there are
some changes happening to it that could cause an event
never seen in the entire universe. Why do I feel

(01:19:48):
like we're getting played? Why do I feel like it?
It's three iatlists was fine. Now we've got this other
thing going. Astronomers recently observed unusual signs night sweats dimming. No,
I'm kidding not night sweats dimming, dimming, gradually dimming without warning,

(01:20:10):
releasing surges of energy, suddenly becoming visible to the naked eye.
The cyclical pattern is so rare that fewer than a
dozen known stars in the in the galaxy or have.

Speaker 2 (01:20:24):
Done anything similar. Do we not understand what this is?
This is? I know what this is, Isaac. This is
very easy to figure out. You know what this is.
It's like planetary it's hot grease, planetary puberty.

Speaker 5 (01:20:38):
Oh okay, you.

Speaker 2 (01:20:39):
Know the kids, they get emotional, they get a little crazy,
they don't know what they're doing.

Speaker 1 (01:20:44):
Or it could be it could be something completely different.
It doesn't have to be a puberty stuff. It could
be uh, planet, planetary menopause.

Speaker 2 (01:20:56):
Or just you know, maybe an exploding stars. Nothing gonna happen.
It's gonna be fine. Oh, it's gonna be fine. Here's
the thing.

Speaker 1 (01:21:04):
I feel kind of guilty for talking about this story
for one reason and one reason only.

Speaker 2 (01:21:09):
Okay, and it's this.

Speaker 1 (01:21:14):
I feel like every time I cover these stories, they
give us more extreme stories. Do you feel that way, Isaac,
Because I mean it started off just like regular. Now
it's just some things that has to become spectacular.

Speaker 2 (01:21:27):
Yeah, it seems to be getting worse by the story
we cover here, right, Yeah, how'd that happen? I don't know.
I don't know either.

Speaker 1 (01:21:35):
You know what, though, what I'm gonna watch a great
show tonight, and I'm excited and I got all the
fireworks I want because I'm gonna I'm gonna hear the
rounds getting shot. All this stuff's gonna be amazing. Stick
around another great segment straight ahead, and then we're.

Speaker 2 (01:21:51):
Off to the show. Ladies and Gentlemen.

Speaker 1 (01:21:59):
Talk eleven, ten ninety nine to three WBT. We are
live here at Liberty. Do we go by Liberty Mountain?
Or do we go by the King's Mountain? What are
we doing here?

Speaker 6 (01:22:11):
Liberty Mountain?

Speaker 2 (01:22:11):
Liberty Mountain? So I got Liberty Mountain? Can you hear yourself? Okay?
Oh there, okay, good person.

Speaker 1 (01:22:16):
I am joined by somebody who I love talking to
and it's Jeremy Helmsley, and you are a very important
character in this production tonight and throughout the entire thing.

Speaker 2 (01:22:30):
Talk a little bit about this.

Speaker 10 (01:22:31):
So I am actually currently addressed as Major Patrick Ferguson. Yes,
he is our sc our scary villain character in this story,
but historically he really is just a British officer with
a job to do. But his job was to basically
subdue the western part of the Carolinas.

Speaker 2 (01:22:47):
Wow.

Speaker 10 (01:22:48):
He was the only British officer at the battle, so
all of the troops under his command were loyalist Americans,
so he had recruited his entire army from the ground up.

Speaker 2 (01:22:58):
That is amazing. That is amazing. And this happens to
be the exact date that this.

Speaker 10 (01:23:04):
All happened, right, Yes, the exact date they had been
chasing him and his army. And then he chose for
some reason, a lot of conjecture between historians abou why
he chose the top of King's Mountain, but he basically
had been camped there for about two days, was about
time to leave, and then on October seventh, the Patriot
forces surrounded him completely.

Speaker 2 (01:23:22):
That is incredible.

Speaker 4 (01:23:23):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:23:24):
Now, a little birdie told me. You you told me that
this is basically exactly the same conditions.

Speaker 6 (01:23:32):
Very similar conditions to the day of the battle.

Speaker 2 (01:23:35):
Wow.

Speaker 10 (01:23:35):
They say it was raining in the morning, which also
made the ground and the leaves wet, which allowed the
patriots to sneak up because you don't make as much noise,
oh yeah, walking in the woods, right, and so they
were able to sneak up without making very much noise.
And then it stopped raining in the afternoon. And they
think that's what prompted the battle. It began about three o'clock.

Speaker 2 (01:23:52):
What are we looking at in terms of the numbers
of the guys engaging.

Speaker 10 (01:23:56):
You've got about a thousand of the loyalists on top
of the mountain with Patrick Fergus, and you've got nine
hundred of the patriots. But they positioned themselves perfectly, so
they truly have him surrounded. So they they and they
sort of turned the numbers against him a little bit.

Speaker 2 (01:24:09):
See that's amazing.

Speaker 1 (01:24:10):
And one of the things that's that's that's incredible is
we think about this as as a battle that's raging
over that period of time. And one of our great
people that we have visited with earlier said, this is
actually really the First Civil War.

Speaker 6 (01:24:25):
Oh yeah, exactly. And that's that's what Liberty Mountain is
all about.

Speaker 10 (01:24:28):
We start with the people behind it, and you've got
you've got people who are are patriot pro America. You've
got people who are loyalists and they want to stay
loyal to England. They have land grants from England, right,
But the majority of people are apathetic and don't want
to fight in any conflict either. So really in Liberty
Mountain you see all three of those perspectives and how
they build to a point that the people in this

(01:24:50):
area it stopped even being political and it became personal,
sure and average everyday people set down their tools, picked
up their rifles and went to address the threat that
for and had put on their countryside.

Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
And it's brother on brother and family on family and.

Speaker 6 (01:25:04):
Truly split families up right down the middle.

Speaker 10 (01:25:07):
They and and family issues that have been had like
kind of ruling in years previous. This was their opportunity
to actually fight it out. So yeah, it really brought
everything I mean for the area is is personal.

Speaker 2 (01:25:18):
It is, I mean, it absolutely is.

Speaker 1 (01:25:20):
And look the people who were We're looking at all
of these amazing actors and reenactors and this sort of stuff.
It is remarkable to see how to the to the
closest sort of thing that they have. I mean, I'm
looking at an absolutely beautiful uniform that you're wearing, and
it's it's fantastic. I mean, it's it's amazing, and you're

(01:25:42):
I'm sorry that you're sweating.

Speaker 2 (01:25:44):
Yeah, big lely.

Speaker 10 (01:25:45):
Better be great because I'm sweating no matter what, even
if it was terrible and sweats now.

Speaker 6 (01:25:49):
But I like the accuracy and the authenticity.

Speaker 10 (01:25:51):
I think that's a big part of it getting into
the mindsets of our characters. And so it is an
actual reproduction of British officers uniform. Amazing to wool and
then I have the wool breaches the wool waistcoat. So
I will say, you get used to it, and it's
not the kind of wool like thick, heavy winter wool. Sure, sure,
but at the same time it's just protection. It kind
of regulates your temperature. I can see why they would

(01:26:14):
want this, especially when.

Speaker 6 (01:26:14):
You start firing the flintlocks. Oh yes, sparks are flying
and I'm happy I have this coat on.

Speaker 2 (01:26:18):
That's really that's incredible when you think about that, because
it couldn't just go boop it good.

Speaker 6 (01:26:23):
It won a lot of modern fabrics and modern materials.
They light right up. But you've got whole and you've
got linen.

Speaker 10 (01:26:28):
You've got things that a spark can land on them
and they're not going to immediately ignite.

Speaker 1 (01:26:31):
But by the way, it's incredible to see these weapons
up close and personal.

Speaker 2 (01:26:36):
It's incredible to see these cannons.

Speaker 1 (01:26:38):
It's incredible to see all of the stuff that you
guys have brought out here to make it what it is.

Speaker 10 (01:26:43):
Yes, in the show, we do special effects. We have
live firing, theatrical weaponry.

Speaker 6 (01:26:47):
We bring the battle to life on stage.

Speaker 2 (01:26:49):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (01:26:49):
But when we have these events, we like to get
the flintlocks out.

Speaker 2 (01:26:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:26:51):
Oh we can go o G yeah original.

Speaker 1 (01:26:56):
Oh, Jeremy, I mean, listen, it's such a pleasure to
get to time with you in studio and then be
in here and getting ready for the show and all that.
I just think it's a phenomenal thing for people to
come and see this and to experience it, because it
is an experience.

Speaker 2 (01:27:12):
It's more than just watching something on TV.

Speaker 6 (01:27:14):
Exactly.

Speaker 10 (01:27:15):

they'll come back again the next day.

Speaker 6 (01:27:37):
It's been happening.

Speaker 1 (01:27:38):
It's awesome because because you see this and you go,
how did I not know this whole story?

Speaker 10 (01:27:42):
Yes, and I want to see it from another angle
in the audience. Right, We've got people returning even this season.
Some people have actually seen it three or four times.
That is fantastic and bringing new people when they come back.

Speaker 1 (01:27:52):
And I also know that you had a bunch of
young people coming in, which is man, that's the future.

Speaker 6 (01:27:56):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:27:57):
We had a field trip so so school shows and
we brought out over twelve hundred students from the area
from counties in South Carolina and North Carolina. And I
can tell you we do a Q and A afterwards
they can ask questions. Oh my gosh, these kids, they're
never gonna forget it. Some of their questions were just incredible.
And they know the history. Sure, that's what's amazing because
you and all the time people don't know this history. Well,
go out and talk to some of the young people

(01:28:17):
who have been to the battleground and that's on the
scene Liberty Mountain. They know the history.
