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

Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about vaping regulations and foster care reform with North Carolina State Representative Donnie Loftus. Reporting live from the NC GOP Convention in Greensboro, Jensen dives into House Bill 430, which would raise the legal age to purchase nicotine products to 21 and introduce tighter regulations on vape shops across the state. Loftus emphasizes the growing concern of youth vaping, calling it an “epidemic issue.”

 Later, Jensen sits down with North Carolina Superior Court Judge Craig Collins, who currently serves in Mecklenburg County but was elected out of Gaston County. Judge Collins announced his candidacy for the North Carolina Court of Appeals in 2026 and discussed why judicial races matter more than voters often realize. He emphasized the importance of judicial restraint and preserving constitutional integrity, cautioning against activist judges who legislate from the bench.

Also, Jensen spoke with Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page, who is making headlines with his decision to challenge Senate Majority Leader Phil Berger in a Republican primary that could reshape political power in Raleigh. Page, a longtime sheriff with over four decades in law enforcement, says he's running to bring transparency, conservative accountability, and a stronger voice for local constituents.
