Tune in here to this ​Wednesday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking with Brett Jensen kicks the show off by discussing immigration enforcement issues and Senator Thom Tillis' criticism of nine North Carolina counties, including Mecklenburg, for not cooperating with ICE. Tillis is pushing new legislation to require sheriffs to notify ICE before releasing undocumented immigrants and potentially penalize non-compliant jurisdictions.

Tune in here to this ​Friday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by discussing the Carolina Panthers’ first-round draft pick and the team’s future. The Panthers selected wide receiver Tetairoa “T-Mac” McMillan from Arizona with the 8th overall pick. McMillan, originally from Hawaii with strong California ties, has known quarterback Bryce Young since high school. Their connection grew stronger after recent offseason training, and Bryce personally advocated for the team to draft him. T-Mac expressed gratitude and excitement, emphasizing his versatility, positive locker room energy, and desire to learn from veteran Adam Thielen. He compared his game to NFL stars like Mike Evans and Keenan Allen and cited Larry Fitzgerald as his all-time favorite. The wideout believes his chemistry with Young will be special and is confident in head coach Dave Canales and the offensive staff. Later, Jensen dived into a political protest held in East Charlotte aimed at U.S. Senator Thom Tillis. Organized by a group claiming to be nonpartisan, the event featured a cardboard cutout of Tillis after he declined to attend their town hall. WBTV covered the story, highlighting citizens’ concerns over federal job cuts and public policy. Finally, Jensen recaps the Carolina Panthers’ reasoning behind selecting a wide receiver with their first-round pick in the NFL Draft. Head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan addressed the media, explaining that despite last season’s historically weak defense, the team prioritized adding an offensive playmaker. They praised McMillan’s size, elite hands, smooth route running, and red zone ability, emphasizing his fit in their scheme and the receiver room’s growing versatility. While acknowledging defensive needs, the Panthers’ leadership said they followed their draft board and believe they can address defense with remaining picks and recent free-agent signings.

Tune in here to this ​Thursday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by discussing two unusual but significant North Carolina Supreme Court cases—one involving chickens in a Waxhaw neighborhood and the other concerning Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS). In one case, a family argues their chickens are household pets, protected under HOA rules. The HOA disagrees, claiming the number of chickens exceeds what could reasonably be considered pets. The debate centers on how courts should interpret the ambiguous term “household pet,” with justices questioning whether such definitions should be left to juries or clarified by law. The case raises broader concerns about property rights and the power of homeowners associations. And in another case, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) is facing a lawsuit at the North Carolina State Supreme Court over its refusal to contribute to the 401(k) retirement plans of its school police officers. CMS is the only school district in the state that does not pay the required 5% into these retirement accounts, even as it continues to request millions more in funding each year from county commissioners. The CMS legal team faced tough questioning from justices, who challenged their interpretation of the law and lack of clarity on funding responsibilities. Also, Brett touches on the Carolina Panthers’ strategy heading into the NFL Draft with veteran beat writer Joe Person of The Athletic. Person expects the Panthers to focus on defense, predicting they may select Georgia linebacker Jalen Walker in the first round. Despite questions about Walker’s size as an edge rusher, the Panthers reportedly value his football instincts and versatility. Person also believes the team will likely target additional defensive positions, such as safety, in rounds two and three, given the current lack of depth on the roster. Finally, Jensen dives into Dylann Roof, the convicted Charleston church shooter, has filed an appeal seeking to have his death sentence overturned. Roof's legal team argues that there were significant errors during his trial that impacted his sentencing. They claim that Roof's mental health was not adequately considered, and they assert that his constitutional rights were violated in various ways.

Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about a violent incident at Audrey Kell High School in Charlotte, where a 15-year-old male football player allegedly severely assaulted a 15-year-old Muslim girl. Jibril Hough, the spokesperson for the family, spoke at the press conference about the incident, Hough criticized the school for its handling of the situation, indicating that the school had attempted to cover up the incident. He mentioned that the school issued threatening language to the parents, advising them not to talk to the media. Hough condemned the school for not taking a stronger stance on racism and Islamophobia and for mishandling the situation. The girl's family believes the attack was a hate crime. Hough said, despite the severity of the assault, the school classified it as a "fight" and suspended both students for 10 days, even though the girl was the victim. The family has since started talking to lawyers and is seeking justice and demanding the removal of the suspension from her record. They also criticized the school for failing to call 911 in a timely manner. During a press conference at CMS headquarters, Tim Ivey, the Chief Operations Officer, shared that CMS adhered to privacy laws (FERPA) and couldn't disclose specific details, including when 911 was called or the specifics of staff involvement. Jensen questioned CMS’s use of privacy laws to avoid discussing administrative communication with the family, and Ivey clarified that no instructions were given by administrators to school staff to prevent the family from speaking with media.

Tune in here to this ​Wednesday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Brett kicks off the program by talking about an event he participated in early this morning where he and Garrison spoke at a Republican Women's event, discussing "make American media honest again." This is a crucial topic in today's world with so many media personalities pushing their personal agenda and toeing the democrat line, with no concern for the truth. For example, Margaret Brennan from CBS who, with a straight face, blamed the Holocaust on free speech. We have reached a point where nearly no one, left or right, trusts the media. We must resurrect our fallen media in order to ensure an informed populist that can cast their ballots with all the facts in front of them. In the wise words of our former President Thomas Jefferson, "were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter."

Tune in here to this Monday edition of the Brett Winterble Show with Breaking Brett Jensen filling in!

Brett then plays a clip from CBS, of Margaret Brennan arguing that freedom of speech is what caused the Holocaust. Yes, the Holocaust where the Nazi's viciously tortured and murdered millions of Jews, people of color, gypsies, and others; according to Brennan that was all due to free speech.
