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

Brett kicks off the program by talking about Donald Trump’s fiery critique of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and a wild budget overrun on the Fed’s renovation project. Trump, according to Brett, roasted Powell for allegedly trying to install a basement in the building near the Potomac River—a move Trump mocked as impractical and absurd due to flood risk. Brett highlights Trump's background as a builder, contrasting him with figures like Gavin Newsom, and praises his no-nonsense approach.

We’re joined by Bruce LeVell from Atlanta to talk about the progress of the Trump administration’s first 200 days and the wide-ranging impact of the "big beautiful bill." A former Trump advisor and small business owner, LeVell emphasized the administration’s push to restore safety and security across American cities—starting with Washington, D.C.—as a foundation for economic development. He praised the return of tax cuts, lower FICA rates, and pro-growth policies that are benefiting small businesses and boosting prosperity in cities like Charlotte and Atlanta.

We’re also joined by Jeremy Holmesley from Liberty Mountain Drama to discuss the upcoming season of the powerful Revolutionary War production and its growing impact on education and community engagement. As Director of the production, Holmesley highlights the immersive, action-packed experience that brings the Battle of Kings Mountain to life, all while aligning with school curriculum standards. Now in its 10th year, Liberty Mountain has expanded its educational outreach by offering shortened weekday performances for student field trips—complete with live musket demonstrations and actor Q&As. Holmesley emphasizes the value of connecting students emotionally to history, transforming names and dates into real, relatable people. With over 35 cast members and a theater experience that places the audience right in the action, Liberty Mountain is a must-see. Opening night is September 19, and don’t miss WBT Night on October 7—the anniversary of the historic battle. For tickets and info, visit LibertyMountainDrama.com.

And finally, we’re joined by Coach Matt Doherty to discuss leadership, truth, and the upcoming college football season. Known for his championship pedigree and candid takes, Coach Doherty shared thoughts on the moral compass of the country, data manipulation in crime statistics, and the importance of trusting—but verifying—information. As the conversation shifted to football, he offered insight into what makes a winning team: discipline, fundamentals, and unity. Drawing from his coaching background and mentors like Bill Belichick and Dean Smith, Doherty emphasized that when the right culture is built, "the score will take care of itself." Looking ahead to the Tar Heels season, he’s hopeful but realistic, noting that execution and attitude matter more than preseason hype. Off the field, Coach is expanding his executive coaching practice and launching a new dental coaching program, helping professionals lead with clarity and purpose.
