Breaking With Brett Jensen

CODE RED! How Long Will It Last?

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



Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about the North Carolina GOP Convention in Greensboro and the state’s evolving budget negotiations. Broadcasting live from the convention, Jensen is joined by North Carolina State Representative David Willis, who discusses the House’s version of the state budget recently passed and now under Senate review. Willis highlights major priorities including raising teacher pay—making North Carolina’s starting salary the highest in the Southeast—and investing in educational programs and state infrastructure. He also explains disagreements with the Senate over tax cut triggers and the financial impact of inflation.



Later, Jensen sits down for an exclusive, first-ever interview with Dave Warren, the former Director of Election Integrity for the North Carolina GOP. Speaking from the NC GOP Convention in Greensboro, Warren explains how North Carolina became the national model for election oversight from 2021 through 2024. Under the leadership of then-NCGOP Chair Michael Whatley—now head of the RNC—Warren helped build a statewide infrastructure of poll observers, legal staff, and training systems that ensured election transparency across all 100 counties and over 2,600 precincts.
