Tune in here to this Mondays edition of the Brett Winterble Show!

Brett kicks off the program by talking about the recent panic over tariffs that haven't even been implemented yet, particularly regarding Canada and Mexico. Tariffs are a tool for controlling imports and exports, not necessarily a cause for alarm, as tariffs have been an economic tool utilized by leaders for decades. Despite the market's reaction, he argues that the tariffs are designed to ensure America gets the best deals and leverage in trade.

Brett also discusses the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the debate over moving it under the Department of State. The USAID's budget is over $50 billion annually, which some view as wasteful, while others, like Rep. Jamie Raskin, oppose changes to its structure.

Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is here for this Monday episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about President Trump's initial tariff actions and the widespread concern it caused, particularly with Mexico and Canada. Both countries are requesting pauses in the tariffs, and they speculate if this could be part of a broader negotiation strategy that might involve the European block. Bo also shares what he and Beth have coming up Monday on Good Morning BT!

Brett kicks off the program with Pete Kaliner for this week's edition of the Friday Hangover, they discuss the changes in the White House press corp and the state of journalism in America. They also discuss the "Zizians, a violent, cult-like group, described as a "vegan trans murder cult." The group is allegedly responsible for several murders, including the attempted murder of a property owner in California and the murder of another individual related to this case. The pair also discuss what would happen if a similar group with a right-wing affiliation existed, and how differently they would be covered by the media.

Later in the show Brett discusses the recent firing of David Sundberg, head of the FBI’s Washington field office, in the context of high-profile investigations like the Mar-a-Lago raid and the January 6th probe. He also critiques the handling of the Mar-a-Lago raid, calling it a poorly executed operation and suggesting that it was one of the contributing factors to the shakeup within the FBI leadership. This critique ties into his broader theme of dissatisfaction with the current political establishment.

Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is here for this Friday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo discuss the question will the political world get crazier or will things calm down? With three questionable high-profile confirmations this week that, if confirmed, will further shake up the government. Bo also shares what he and Beth have coming up Monday on Good Morning BT!
