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

Breaking Brett Jensen kicks off the show by discussing sports gambling on the two-year anniversary of its legalization in North Carolina. Jensen expresses strong approval of the change and argues that sports betting has long been normalized in many places, especially in Europe. Before legalization in many U.S. states, Americans often relied on alternatives such as trips to Las Vegas, offshore gambling websites or local bookmakers. Jensen then provides statistics about sports betting in the Tar Heel State during the first two years of legalization and explains how the $255 million in tax revenue has been allocated.

Breaking Brett Jensen discusses the changing significance of the ACC basketball tournament. Having covered the event extensively as a journalist, Jensen argues the tournament has changed dramatically over the years and no longer holds the prestige or excitement it once did. He explains how the ACC Tournament operated when the conference had only nine teams. During that era, getting a ticket to the event was nearly impossible because demand was so high. However, he says expansion altered the structure of the conference and began to dilute the tight-knit regional identity that defined the original ACC. Jensen predicts this year’s tournament will not even be half full for many of the early-round games, possibly only one-third full.

Breaking Brett Jensen discusses a situation that occurred during the Los Angeles Marathon. Jensen said the temperature during the race reached about 82°F, which organizers described as hotter than expected. As a result, participants who completed 70% of the full marathon distance could still receive the same medal as those who finished the entire race. Jensen said the decision illustrates a broader cultural and political trend he believes could eventually affect Mecklenburg County.

Later, Jensen highlights the ongoing dispute between Silfab Solar and the town of Fort Mill. He criticizes the company’s explanation that the hydrofluoric acid incident was “just a drip.” He argues that even a small amount of such chemicals would be unacceptable in someone’s yard or home, suggesting that minimizing the event does not address legitimate safety concerns.

Breaking Brett Jensen kicks off the show by talking with Rockingham Co. Sheriff Sam Page about his Republican primary race against Phil Berger for North Carolina Senate District 26. Page describes the emotional experience of waiting for hours while election officials counted provisional ballots in Guilford and Rockingham counties.

Later, Jensen talks with state Rep. David Willis of Union County to discuss the potential implications of the District 26 situation for the state legislature and the upcoming legislative session. Willis stresses that it would be premature to declare the race decided. Additionally, he underscores the importance of transparency and trust in the election process so that voters across the state - particularly in Guilford and Rockingham counties - accept the results.
