Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the black smoke rising from the Sistine Chapel and the significance of the papal conclave in Rome. He reflects on the power and beauty of the Sistine Chapel, expressing sympathy for tourists now unable to visit due to the conclave. Brett shifts focus to domestic issues, criticizing the Biden administration for expanding federal surveillance to include "concerning behavior" rather than criminal acts. He alleges that symbols like the Betsy Ross flag, Gadsden flag, and even Catholic imagery have been flagged by federal agencies as potential signs of extremism. Highlighting past government actions against the Tea Party, We're joined by The Coach Matt Doherty to talk about leadership and whether America can truly be made great again. Drawing from his coaching experience, Coach Doherty uses sports analogies to frame political division as dysfunction within a team—arguing that when parts of a team pull in different directions, it’s hard to reach full potential. He suggests the left’s relentless opposition to Donald Trump has created a hostile environment, preventing national unity. Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Wednesday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about the unfolding situation involving former Charlotte City Councilman Tariq Bokhari and CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings, as well as the political dynamics surrounding Senator Thom Tillis. They delve into the $300,000 settlement connected to internal CMPD disputes, questioning the timing and implications, especially with Bokhari recently leaving office. The discussion shifts to how this precedent might affect future city matters. They also explore Senator Tillis’s upcoming reelection prospects, noting the tension within his own party and the possibility of a heated primary. Bo highlights Tillis’s past willingness to cross the aisle and the potential impact of Trump-era politics on his future. Bo also shares what he and Beth have coming up Thursday on Good Morning BT!

Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking with Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about the chaotic political situation in Cabarrus County, and a new bill aimed at addressing North Carolina’s teacher shortage. Jensen begins by diving into the controversy surrounding Cabarrus County Board Chair Chris Measmer, who is accused of manipulating board rules to ensure his allies remain in control after his appointment to the state Senate. Despite not officially resigning, Measmer’s decision to vote for his own replacement has sparked outrage and is expected to lead to legal challenges. Later, Jensen discusses House Bill 806 with state representatives David Willis and Heather Rhyne. This bill aims to combat the teacher shortage by allowing schools to hire individuals with four-year degrees in specific subjects, even if they don’t have teaching certification. This bill is seen as a potential solution to the staffing crisis, providing higher pay than substitutes but lower than certified teachers. Lastly, Jensen shifts focus to crime statistics in Mecklenburg County, sharing insights from CMPD's press conference on first-quarter 2025 data. The report reveals a decrease in overall crime, with violent crime down by 17% and property crime reduced by 4%. The department also highlights successful initiatives, including targeted operations to reduce dangerous driving and a significant drop in violent crime in key areas of the city.

The conversation touches on the ongoing debate in Matthews regarding transit funding.Initially, the plan aimed to dedicate most of the tax revenue to rail, but the legislature altered it to a 40% allocation for rail, 20% for buses, and 40% for roads. This shift led to disappointment in Matthews, as key rail projects, including the Silver Line extension, were scaled back. Matthews' leadership has opposed the plan, while most other local representatives have supported it. Listen here for all of this and more on Breaking With Brett Jensen.

It's unclear how many agencies are part of the operation that spans multiple jurisdictions. WCNC Charlotte has contacted Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police, as well as North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement (ALE) to learn more about the operation."A lot of rigmarole goes on over there," Michelle Touchberry, who was in the area when police arrived, said.

It's just bad news."Read more: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/crime/police-raid-business-arcade-gambling-fish-games/275-ce08c02e-eee1-4555-9aad-e12582b64eceWatch WCNC Charlotte each weekday morning from 4:30 to 7 a.m.WCNC Charlotte To Go is a daily news and weather podcast you can listen to so you can start your day with the team at WCNC Charlotte.
