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



Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off joined by Congressman Tim Moore, who describes the atmosphere in the room when President Trump recognized Iryna Zarutska mother in attendance during the State of the Union address. Moore recounts the powerful reaction from Republicans and addresses questions about whether Democrats stood during key moments, including discussions on crime, border security, and parental rights. The conversation expands into criticism of what Moore characterizes as soft-on-crime policies and the need for stronger enforcement at both the state and federal levels, including reference to North Carolina’s Iryna's Law.



Later Jensen turns his attention to Cabarrus County politics, spotlighting controversy surrounding county commissioner candidate Ian Patrick and past remarks he made while serving on the Harrisburg Town Council. Brett replays audio from a 2023 council meeting in which Patrick opposed a proposed retirement community, arguing that seniors living there might not be “civically engaged” or active in the broader community.
