We're joined by Coach Matt Doherty from Doherty Coaching to talk about President Trump's battle with Harvard regarding their support, or at least indifference, to groups of pro-Hamas protestors shaming Jewish students and even going so far as to assault them in some cases. It is also important to note that Harvard brings in Chinese students in large numbers, some of whom likely have ulterior motives. China isn't a free country like America; students from China can only come to America for college if they receive the go-ahead from the CCP.

Tune in here to this Monday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the recently released Robert Hur tapes and President Joe Biden’s reported cancer diagnosis. While expressing sincere well-wishes for Biden’s health and recovery, Brett makes clear that this sympathy doesn’t excuse what he views as a deeply flawed presidency. He criticizes Biden’s leadership as unfocused and driven by those around him, pointing to various scandals and policy failures, including border security, foreign policy, and infrastructure neglect. Later Brett discusses a significant Supreme Court ruling in favor of President Trump, allowing him to revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 300,000 Venezuelans. The 8–1 decision, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting, reverses a Biden administration move to extend protections due to instability in Venezuela. Brett argues this ruling reasserts executive authority over immigration policy and criticizes the use of lower federal courts to block national decisions. Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Monday's episode of Crossing the Streams.Brett and Bo talk about the surprise early vote to fill the Charlotte City Council vacancy and the return of former at-large member Edwin Peacock. Initially expected later in the evening, the vote resulted in a 5-5 tie between Peacock and Krista Bakari, wife of former councilman Tariq Bakari.
