Manage episode 480831214 series 2873625
Tune in here to this Monday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show!
Brett kicks off the program talking about concerns over media narratives and the portrayal of chaos in the White House, particularly by CNN. Brett criticizes Joe Biden for what he claims is a lack of action, citing his vacation days and disengagement. In contrast, Brett praises Donald Trump for his proactive approach, highlighting recent tariffs and the announcement of the NFL Draft being held in Washington, D.C. as examples of Trump’s effectiveness—even in cities that politically oppose him. The host emphasizes Trump’s commitment to fulfilling campaign promises, such as stricter border policies and deregulation, while mocking progressive figures like Kamala Harris.
Later Brett reacts to the financial fallout from Donald Trump's proposed 100% tariffs on foreign films, noting slight drops in media stocks like Disney, Netflix, and Paramount. Brett supports the tariffs, arguing that American stories should be filmed in the U.S., not overseas. The discussion then turns to the cost of family entertainment, using a viral story about a dad spending nearly $1,500 for one day at Disney World as a critique of corporate greed and modern consumer culture.
Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Monday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about Donald Trump’s surprising proposal to reopen Alcatraz as a prison for dangerous criminals, blending sharp commentary with lighthearted banter. They explore the symbolic weight and logistical challenges of reviving the infamous island facility, with Brett recalling his visits to the cold, wind-whipped outpost and its harsh conditions. Bo adds a dose of nostalgia and humor, referencing The Rock and David Copperfield’s televised escape illusion, painting Alcatraz as both a real and mythic place. The two discuss the idea’s potential as a political scare tactic, imagining how its grim legacy could be used as a deterrent.. Bo also shares what he and Beth have coming up Tuesday on Good Morning BT!
