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

Brett kicks off the program by talking about the escalating trade war between the U.S. and China, focusing on the recent tariff increases and President Trump's strategy. He reflects on how a trade war, initially seen as a broader global issue, has now targeted China specifically. Brett highlights how the stock market has surged following Trump’s 90-day pause on tariffs, praising Scott Bessent for his role in executing the president’s orders. He points out the significance of China’s retaliation, raising tariffs on U.S. goods, which Trump responded to by escalating tariffs on Chinese products to 125%.

We're Joined By Coach Matt Doherty to discuss President Trump's handling of U.S.-China trade relations, with Brett highlighting Trump's strategic use of tariffs and leverage to negotiate favorable deals. Coach Doherty connects this to leadership, sharing his “Stepit” framework for effective leadership, emphasizing self-awareness, vision, and knowing your environment. He explains that the U.S. has the leverage to be self-sufficient and doesn't need to rely on other countries for goods and services. Shifting gears, they talk basketball, with Coach Doherty offering insights on the recent Final Four game between Houston and Florida. He reflects on the quality of play, comparing it to his experience in the 1982 national championship.

Beth Troutman from Good Morning BT is also here for this Wednesday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Beth talk about the rapid shifts in global trade and U.S. politics, sparked by President Trump's recent actions and their immediate impact on the stock market. They discuss how a surprising announcement by Trump caused the Dow to change direction and speculate on whether it was part of a larger strategy to weaken China and bolster the U.S.'s global position. The conversation highlights how countries like the EU, Canada, and Mexico breathed a sigh of relief, while China may face increased pressure to negotiate.. Beth also shares what She and Bo have coming up Thursday on Good Morning BT!
