Breaking Brett Jensen kicks off the show by talking about all the news concerning Bill Belichick, and the state board of elections denying a request for another recount. This is causing upheaval with Republican State Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin, who is demanding a recount by hand despite two previous recounts resulting in his opposition, Justice Allsion Riggs, gaining more votes than him. With the state board of elections denying Griffin's request, the 2024 North Carolina elections are officially over.

Later, Brett shares the latest on Bill Belichick considering the head football coach position at UNC Chapel Hill. Brett thinks this is a terrible idea despite Belichick's storied career, at 72 years old Belichick will leave the Tar Heels in the same position they are now in just a few years. The Tar Heels don't need a media stunt, they need a good coach that can build a winning culture over time.

Brett wraps tonight's show up with President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Dan Bishop from North Carolina as Deputy Director for Budget at the Office of Management and Budget.

Breaking Brett Jensen kicks off the show by talking about the unusually cold weather this week and his hatred for cold weather. As anyone with an inside dog can relate to, waking up to 20-degree weather and needing to take your dog out is a rough way to start the day. 

Brett also shares an update on his 15-year-old golden retriever, Maggie, following her trip to the vet earlier this week. She hasn't been eating, and she's getting weaker by the day. This afternoon Brett mistakenly gave her the wrong medicine, rather than the antacid pill he gave her a tranquilizer pill that immobilized her. As of now she is still practically paralyzed, Brett assures us that he will keep us updated as the situation progresses.

Brett also discusses what is happening with the youth in Mecklenburg County, the kids aren't scared of the repercussions because they know they'll get a slap on the wrist and be back home in no time.

The odds of any elections being overturned by a recount are slim to none with modern ballots being scanned by machines. Brett shares an example of a previous recount where approximately 1 in 130,000 votes were overturned. The protests revolve around these hotly contested races with recounts expected.
