We're joined by The Coach Matt Doherty to talk about leadership and whether America can truly be made great again. Drawing from his coaching experience, Coach Doherty uses sports analogies to frame political division as dysfunction within a team—arguing that when parts of a team pull in different directions, it’s hard to reach full potential. He suggests the left’s relentless opposition to Donald Trump has created a hostile environment, preventing national unity.

Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Wednesday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about the unfolding situation involving former Charlotte City Councilman Tariq Bokhari and CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings, as well as the political dynamics surrounding Senator Thom Tillis. They delve into the $300,000 settlement connected to internal CMPD disputes, questioning the timing and implications, especially with Bokhari recently leaving office. The discussion shifts to how this precedent might affect future city matters. They also explore Senator Tillis’s upcoming reelection prospects, noting the tension within his own party and the possibility of a heated primary. Bo highlights Tillis’s past willingness to cross the aisle and the potential impact of Trump-era politics on his future. Bo also shares what he and Beth have coming up Thursday on Good Morning BT!
