America at a Crossroads And More On The Brett Winterble Show

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

Brett kicks off the program by talking about the growing frustration many Americans feel when it comes to defending their country and the cultural divide over what true patriotism looks like. He reflects on a string of national dilemmas — from immigration enforcement to drug trafficking to national security — and argues that America seems unwilling or unable to take decisive action despite having the power to do so. Brett contrasts this with what he sees as the genuine love most citizens have for the United States, a love rooted in sacrifice, duty, and gratitude rather than entitlement.

We’re joined by Coach Doherty from DohertyCoaching.com to talk about leadership and the real-world lessons we can pull from sports, coaching transitions, and even high-stakes elections/ Coach Doherty highlights how Lane Kiffin’s departure from Ole Miss underscores the importance of succession planning—how strong organizations continue to perform when a leader leaves because the foundation and personnel remain solid. He explains that leadership is a learned behavior, not a one-time achievement, and like any craft, it requires consistent practice.

We’re also joined by Mark Vargas to discuss national security, political messaging, and the rising tensions shaping the country’s current moment. Vargas, a commentator and columnist, argues that the messaging from the political left has fractured, creating what he describes as a climate of confusion and instability. He links this shift to increasing concerns about crime, border security, and the vetting of individuals entering the United States.
