Tune in here to this ​Thursdays edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about

• Magistrates and their Competence:

  • Jensen expresses frustration with the magistrates in Mecklenburg County, criticizing their competence and the minimal requirements needed to become one (such as only having a GED). He feels that magistrates have significant power in deciding legal matters like bonds and custody, yet their qualifications and training are insufficient.
  • He highlights a recent WBTV investigation led by David Hodges that reveals issues with magistrates, including their lack of legal expertise and potential for abuse. Hodges reports that magistrates are not required to have law degrees and can sometimes make arbitrary decisions that impact people's lives significantly.
  • Jensen is particularly critical of magistrates' lack of accountability and their ability to make decisions without public scrutiny.

• CMPD and International Crime Ring:

  • Jensen covers a press conference by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) about busting an international crime ring involving South American criminals. The crime ring targeted wealthy homes and operated across multiple states and countries.
  • He describes how the CMPD's press conference revealed details about the suspects, who are Colombian nationals and were involved in numerous break-ins. The crimes were characterized by daytime burglaries, targeting homes when they were unoccupied, and using high-visibility clothing to blend in with construction or lawn care work.

• RFK Jr.'s Potential Endorsement of Trump:

  • Jensen discusses the political implications if RFK Jr. were to endorse Donald Trump. He notes that betting odds have shifted in Trump's favor following speculation about such an endorsement. Jensen believes that Trump performs better in elections than polls suggest, partly because many Trump supporters may not openly admit their choice due to social pressures.
  • He contrasts this with the current state of the Democratic race, criticizing Kamala Harris’s chances and suggesting that she is unlikely to win North Carolina, which traditionally leans Republican.

• Miscellaneous Points:

  • Jensen reflects on his personal interest in gambling, including sports and political betting. He critiques the accuracy of political polls and emphasizes that Trump has historically outperformed polls.
  • He also teases upcoming segments about a controversial report from Queen City News and further details on the CMPD's press conference.
