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. Jensen highlights the ongoing conflict between ICE and Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden, noting that while current law mandates a 48-hour hold when ICE issues a detainer, many counties release individuals immediately after that period.

Later Brett addresses the confusion over WBT’s new programming. He confirms he’s staying at the station and that starting May 27, his show will air from 6 to 7 p.m., followed by TJ Ritchie from 7 to 9 p.m. and Brett Winterble remaining in his 3 to 6 p.m. slot.

Also, Jensen dives into a new Realtor.com report that ranks states by housing affordability relative to household income. Brett reveals that South Carolina tops the list as the most affordable state, earning the only “A” grade, with a median home price of $354,000 and a household income of around $65,000. Surprisingly, North Carolina ranks fifth, earning a B+, with a higher median income of $69,000 and a median listing price of $408,000.
