Tune in here to this ​Monday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!

Breaking Brett Jensen kicks off the show by discussing the weekend protests in Charlotte and the law enforcement response that kept things largely peaceful. He recounts his preparations to cover any potential unrest, referencing his experience during the 2020 riots, and expresses relief that the demonstrations remained mostly calm—aside from minor incidents involving pepper spray and a few arrests. Brett criticizes what he views as entitled behavior from some protesters, especially those who ignored police warnings and blocked the light rail tracks.

Jensen then dives into the viral press conference from Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey, which gained national attention over the weekend. Ahead of anticipated protests, Sheriff Ivey delivered what Brett calls “the greatest law enforcement press conference” he’s ever heard. Unfiltered and direct, the sheriff issued a clear warning: peaceful protest is protected but violence would be met with swift, uncompromising action. Jensen highlights lines like “we will kill you graveyard dead” and “we’ll notify your family where to collect your remains,” noting how the sheriff’s unapologetic tone resonated with people frustrated by rising lawlessness.
