The 34th Annual Union County Crime Stoppers Barbecue,

Tune in here to this Friday edition of The Brett Winterble Show!

Brett kicks off the show with Pete Kaliner for the long-awaited Friday Hangover! They discuss the violent unrest unfolding in Minneapolis, the growing clash between federal law enforcement and local leadership, and why Brett says this moment feels far bigger than past flashpoints. From rioters targeting ICE vehicles and stealing weapons, to questions about accountability at City Hall and the Governor’s Mansion, Brett and Pete dig into what’s really driving the chaos—and why it’s being allowed to continue. Brett lays out his no-nonsense take on restoring order, including bold ideas like federal intervention, airport decertification, and a sustained law-enforcement surge to stabilize the city.

Later Brett talks with Union County Crime stoppers to talk about The 34th Annual Union County Crime Stoppers Barbecue, and it’s a full-on celebration of community, commitment, and great food for an even greater cause. Broadcasting live from the sold-out event, Brett catches up with Reed and the team behind Crime Stoppers to talk about how this single fundraiser powers cash rewards of up to $10,000 for tips that lead to arrests—helping get dangerous criminals off the streets while keeping tipsters anonymous. From early-morning lines and all-night cooking to longtime sponsors, dignitaries, and volunteers, Brett highlights why this barbecue has become a Union County tradition. You’ll hear powerful stories of crimes solved, lives protected, and a community that still looks out for its neighbors. It’s a reminder that local action still matters—and that barbecue tastes even better when it helps keep everyone safer.
