Tune in here to this ​Friday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks off the show by talking to the head of the Mecklenburg County GOP, Kyle Kirby, about Monday night's vigil for Light Rail stabbing victim Iryna Zarutska. Kirby is a member of the Charlotte government who organized the vigil for Zarutska, and he discusses how he was able to coordinate this event. He mentions that several groups, such as the Greek Orthodox Cathedral, the Protestant Ukrainian Church, and the West Charlotte ministry, all reached out to help organize this important event for the community. He also mentions that public interest in the vigil has ballooned from an initial estimate of drawing 500 to 1,000 people to a revised estimate of just over 5,000 people. This increase in anticipated attendance has brought in a greater emphasis on security for the event. Monday night's vigil will take place at the East/West Boulevard Light Rail station starting at 8 PM. Jensen then goes on to talk about an innocent 4-year-old boy who was murdered this week by men arguing over a stolen car. He shares a sound bite from WBTV Channel 3, where reporter Michael Warrick investigates the shooting and its potential causes. Warrick remarks that investigators believe that someone in the boy's home, looking at the group of men out of a window, is a potential cause of this tragic act of violence. He goes on to mention that police across metro Charlotte have gone on to link the four men involved in this incident to at least three other car burglaries across the city.

Tune in here to this ​Thursday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Brett Jensen opens the show by covering a press conference held in Raleigh by North Carolina Speaker of the House Dustin Hall, Senate Majority Leader Phil Berger and Michael Whatley. The purpose of the press conference was to outline how the state plans to rein in magistrates who allow convicted criminals to roam free. Jensen shares a clip of Dustin Hall’s opening remarks, in which Hall discusses what the General Assembly intends to do to address the issue. In the clip, Hall acknowledges that the recent tragic stabbing on the Light Rail, along with the killing of Charlie Kirk and the upcoming 24th anniversary of September 11th, has underscored the urgent need to address safety concerns surrounding the Light Rail and to develop strategies for prevention moving forward. Throughout the show, Jensen also features interviews with Charlotte City Council member Malcolm Graham and newly elected District 6 Representative Krista Bokhari. In his conversation with Graham, Jensen presses him on the whereabouts and responses of Charlotte’s leadership in the aftermath of the Light Rail stabbing.

Tune in here to this ​Monday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about the growing national attention surrounding the tragic murder on Charlotte’s light rail system and the mounting public outcry for stronger transit safety. He highlights how the story—originally local—has now made headlines nationwide, including coverage by CNN and Fox News, largely prompted by comments from former President Donald Trump. Brett is joined by veteran reporter Mark Garrison, who shares his firsthand experience riding the light rail to investigate safety conditions. Garrison reports limited and inconsistent security presence, open violations of train policy, and a lack of regular ticket enforcement. He reveals that even minimal enforcement—such as standing at train doors—successfully deters fare evaders and loiterers. Later, Jensen has an exclusive interview with Charlotte City Council candidate Namrata Yadav to discuss public safety, accountability, and her motivation for entering the race. Yadav, running as a Democrat at-large, shares her concerns about the light rail tragedy and calls for urgent reform in security, transparency, and leadership. She expresses support for police recruitment and retention while advocating for preventive measures like youth programs and mental health resources. We’re also joined by Charlotte mayoral candidate Brendon McGinnis to discuss his sharp criticisms of current leadership and his vision for the city’s future.McGinnis expressed frustration over the city’s delayed and weak response to the recent light rail tragedy. He criticized Mayor Vi Lyles for what he described as a lack of leadership and planning, calling her Charlotte’s version of Joe Biden due to her apparent confusion and hesitations during public statements. McGinnis attended the city’s transit safety meeting and dismissed it as ineffective, arguing it lacked transparency and failed to engage concerned citizens.
