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

Brett kicks off the show by talking about what President Trump has accomplished since his administration began, breaking down the good versus the bad. President Trump’s wins far outweigh his losses; his handling of the 12-day war in the Middle East, ceasefires, tariffs, deportations, and the Big Beautiful Bill. The focus on the Epstein files is misguided; we must not become bogged down in the weeds, but we must focus on the pathway forward.

We're joined by Breaking Brett Jensen to talk about a chaotic day at the Mecklenburg County Board of Elections and the early moments of the 2025 Charlotte mayoral race. Brett recapped the calm filing of current Mayor Vi Lyles, who is running for a fifth term, addressing major city issues including recent uptown violence and council dysfunction. Then came Tiawana Brown’s electrifying and unconventional entrance, complete with livestreaming, chants, and a rally-like atmosphere. Brown criticized the media’s use of unflattering photos, declared she wouldn't speak to reporters—then did—and capped the event with a memorable reference to her designer “red bottoms.” The contrast between the two filings was stark, showcasing both the traditional and unpredictable sides of Charlotte politics.

We're joined by Steve Favre and Deacon Darren from St. Matthew Catholic Church to talk about the 23rd anniversary of the Monsignor McSweeney World Hunger Drive and the urgent need to support families facing hunger around the world. This life-changing initiative began 23 years ago with a single shipment to Haiti and has since grown to deliver over 4.5 million pounds of food and supplies globally. With Haiti in crisis and shipping routes blocked, this year’s efforts will shift to Cuba, while funds continue to support Haitian communities through local sourcing. The mission has expanded beyond food, emphasizing education and sustainability projects like gardens, tilapia farms, and chicken coops. With rising costs and limited access, the drive’s goal is $400,000, with 100% going directly to those in need.

Finally We're joined by Coach Matt Doherty to talk about leadership, political transparency, and the challenges facing public figures in today’s media landscape. Coach Doherty weighed in on the swirling controversy surrounding former President Trump and the ongoing speculation about Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged connections. He emphasized the importance of clear messaging and controlling the narrative, suggesting that Trump’s team may need to admit there’s no "smoking gun" and move on to more pressing matters like economic and technological initiatives. Coach also commented on Congressman Adam Schiff’s residency scandal, pointing out the contradiction of claiming two primary residences—something he called both misleading and politically damaging. With his background in leadership and team dynamics, Coach Doherty brings a unique perspective to the political arena, highlighting the parallels between sports strategy and public accountability.
