Immigration, and Leadership 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 immigration policy and human trafficking, framing today’s unrest and violence as the result of decades-long systemic failure. He begins by reacting to current events, including unrest in major U.S. cities and developments at the White House, before urging listeners to “go back to the beginning” to understand how the country arrived at this moment. Brett traces the roots of the problem to the 1965 Hart–Celler Act, arguing it fundamentally rewired immigration law and created bottlenecks that incentivized illegal entry.

We’re joined by coach Matt Doherty from Doherty Coaching to talk about men competing in women’s sports and the leadership vacuum surrounding the issue. Brett and Coach Doherty dive into the growing national debate over fairness in athletics, particularly as cases make their way toward the Supreme Court. Drawing from personal experience as fathers of daughters and from decades in competitive sports, they argue the core issue is not hate or exclusion, but fairness and equal opportunity for women under Title IX.

Coach Doherty explains why sports depend on a level playing field, noting biological differences, competitive balance, and the precedent already set by banning performance-enhancing drugs. The conversation broadens into leadership, with Doherty emphasizing the need for courage, clarity, and common sense—qualities he says are missing in today’s public discourse. He points to Ronald Reagan’s ability to communicate tough truths simply and effectively as a model leaders should follow when addressing controversial but critical issues.
