Since December, nine cases have been confirmed in North Carolina, including two cases identified last week in children in Cabarrus County. Jensen attributes the resurgence to declining vaccination rates, particularly among children.

Jensen also references a report, which provides additional details on the measles cases in North Carolina. The report highlights a map from the Division of Public Health showing vaccination rates by county and by school. The data indicates overall vaccination rates in Mecklenburg and Cabarrus counties range from about 90% to 95%.

Breaking Brett Jensen reports on an international case with local ties to Charlotte involving the arrest of a Ten Most Wanted fugitive after a decade-long manhunt. The Federal Bureau of Investigation apprehended Alejandro “Alex” Rosales Castillo, who is accused of killing Truc Quan “Sandy” Ly Le in 2016 while the two worked at a Showmars restaurant in Charlotte. Le’s car was later discovered at a bus station in Phoenix, Arizona, and her body was found in Cabarrus County. Castillo is currently being held in Mexico City and is expected to be extradited to North Carolina.

Jensen highlights the extensive investigative work by the FBI that led to Castillo’s arrest in Mexico, emphasizing the agency’s reliance on traditional investigative methods rather than DNA evidence. He commends the FBI’s persistence in pursuing leads, which ultimately brought closure to Le’s family after 10 years.

Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about unexpected traffic disruptions in Charlotte caused by a group of walking monks traveling through the area on a long peace march. He shares his personal experience navigating heavy congestion on I-77 and the Tyvola exit, explaining how he discovered the monks’ temporary stay at Marion Diehl Park and his surprise at not being aware of their location despite following local news closely.



Later, Jensen is joined by Michael Watley, former head of the NCGOP and RNC, who is now running for U.S. Senate on the Republican side in North Carolina, to discuss pressing political and public safety issues facing the state. The conversation focuses heavily on immigration enforcement, with Whatley criticizing Democratic leadership, including former Governor Roy Cooper, for prioritizing the protection of criminal illegal aliens over the safety of citizens.

1-16-26: Michael Whatley Joins 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/78a347aa-3282-4ac5-837c-a72300032082/clips/df1fd415-6a9e-496b-97b0-b3d500029d72/transcript

Tune in here to this ​Thursday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!

Breaking Brett Jensen opens the show by discussing a press conference held today by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department on 2025 crime statistics. The event was led by new CMPD Chief Estella Patterson, who reported an overall 21% drop in violent crime within city limits and a 13% decrease in homicides. Jensen questioned CMPD during the press conference, citing data he said shows a 27% increase in homicides over the past six months. He said the contrast highlights how CMPD crime reports can be misleading when viewed without additional context.

Jensen is also joined in the studio by Charlotte resident Jeffrey Baldwin, who has been involved in a legal dispute with his homeowners association. The situation began in 2022, when Baldwin was fined by the HOA, leading to a three-year legal battle. Baldwin said he later learned the association had placed a lien on his home. He ultimately received an official hearing on Jan. 13, and discusses the details and outcome of the case in an exclusive interview.

The show concludes with Jensen speaking with Brian Peter, Vice President of Mixed Beverages and Logistics for Mecklenburg County ABC. Peter previews a follow-up to November’s “Barrel-Palooza” event, scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 17, at Store No. 9 on Graham St. in Charlotte. The event begins at 9 a.m., and Peter said he expects attendance similar to the November event.
