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

We’re joined by Don Brown from North Carolina to talk about public safety and the challenges facing local communities. In a recent conversation, Brown discussed the impact of federal law enforcement activity in Charlotte, including Border Patrol raids aimed at disrupting criminal networks tied to drugs and trafficking. He expressed concern about reduced local police staffing as the city’s population continues to grow, arguing that federal assistance has become necessary due to strained resources.

Brown also highlighted broader debates surrounding affordability, from rising food and housing costs to the long-term effects of regulatory policies and health-care expenses. While he noted that safety issues can sometimes be addressed more quickly through law-enforcement support, he emphasized that affordability requires tackling a wider set of economic factors. Throughout the discussion, he underscored the importance of restoring stability, improving community engagement, and pursuing policy solutions that support both security and economic relief for North Carolina residents.
