Tune in here to this Tuesday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!
Breaking Brett Jensen kicks off the show by discussing the topics in Mark Garrison’s news report on WBT this morning. The report, which Jensen calls “the best he’s heard,” covered the major issues relevant to Charlotte. Jensen notes that one story stood out - a $3.4 million investment by the Charlotte City Council for an advertising campaign encouraging residents to ride the light rail. Council members chose to focus on this rather than adding more security on the rail system.
Regarding the light-rail advertising campaign, Jensen says he believes the concept of “perception” is what motivated the City Council to invest in it. He says “perception,” rather than reality, has frequently guided council decisions. He also says the campaign is misleading to the public because it distracts from significant safety issues that continue to plague the light-rail system.
Later, Jensen breaks down numbers released by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department from the first weekend of Operation Safe Season. The figures detail traffic citations, arrests and guns seized.
Listen here for all of this and more on Breaking With Brett Jensen.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Hi Oh, Let's go hi oh, Let's go oh, Let's
go hi oh, Let's come.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Blease Talk eleven ten and ninety nine three WBT Brad
Jenson here with you on this Tuesday night edition of
Breaking with Brad Jenson. As we go up until seven
o'clock tonight. Telephone numbers as always to get in on
the show seven oh four, five, seven oh eleven ten.
That's also the WBT text Ligne, driven of course by
(00:52):
Liberty Buick and GMC. So a lot of things that
we're going to get into tonight. I talked to you
guys last night about hoping to have some information about
the person accused of stabbing someone on the light rail
the two times deported illegal immigrant, illegal alien, whatever you
want to call him, undocumented resident, however you want to
(01:14):
say it, but I do. I've got all the background
information and a lot of that was coming out, and
a lot of the initial stuff that I thought was
out there wound up being accurate. He has a big
criminal history. As a shocker, I know when you see
face tattoos, I know it shocks you that someone has
(01:35):
a criminal history. I know, you know, like all over
the forehead down, the eyes down, the cheek bones.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I know it's a shock, but hey.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
So I know, don't judge a book by its cover,
but you also sometimes have to figure out what book
the section of the library it's in. That tells you
a lot. All right, Well, so this morning I do
Bowen Beth, and I get done with the segment, and
I want to hear, you know, some things that are
(02:07):
going on. So I listen to Garrison. And I don't
get a lot of times a chance to listen to
the station throughout the day because I'm on the phone
four or five hours a day, text messaging NonStop all
day every day, and so I don't have a lot
of time to sit around at the house and like
have it on in the background or whatever. So I
(02:29):
stayed on to listen to the newscast at Garrison, and
it might singularly have been maybe and I'm not even
trying to be hyperbolic, because you know, I've never done
this before. It may have been the best newscast I've
ever heard because it covered so much of what's going
on in the last twenty four oh I guess since Friday,
And so I want you to hear because there's so
(02:52):
much information in this two and a half minutes about
the light rail and the morn. I want to say,
moronic moves of the city council. How about just pure stupidity.
How about not very well educated people. Some are extremely
well educated M.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I T.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Harvard and others. But just because you went to Harvard
or M. I. T. Doesn't mean that you have common sense.
And I'm not saying that Dante Anderson doesn't have common sense.
I'm just saying in general, but when you when you
hear this report, you'll understand why. It's just it's stupid
beyond repair with the city council. And I know some
(03:32):
of those people on city Council aren't very bright. I
know that for a fact. But with that being said,
I want you to hear Garrison's entire news report, and
we're gonna just break this down when we're when we
get on the other side of this.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
No extra security instead, the city council designs light rail
needs better pr and had we.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Had somebody boots on the ground at that location, that
instant probably never would have happen.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
My latest stabbing on the light rail has people asking
Charlotte City Council please spend more money for security on
the trains.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
I know it's going to cost more money, but it will,
in my opinion, resolve a lot of these situations.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
So last night council decided to spend some money, but
not to make the train safer. Instead, they decided to
spend three point four million dollars for an ad campaign
to try to convince you to ride the train even
though you could encounter a drunk, or a pervert or
a man with a knife. The money will go to
a Texas based company, the Sherry Matthews Group, that does
(04:37):
work with cities. As for actually making light rails safer,
no action by the council last night, though councilwoman dmple
Ashmara did have a question. She wanted to know why
the man who stabbed a passenger Friday on the train
could get on board since he had been previously banned
by kats, Why was.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
He allowed back on the system and.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
How are reinforcing those bands.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
She got no answer to that. As for security, cats
uses unarmed rent a cops to ride some trains, now
the city will spend millions trying to lure you to
take a chance and take a ride. As for the
suspect and the latest stabbing, Oscar Solazano. He's an illegal
immigrant locked up without bond. The man he stabbed, Kenyon Dobe,
(05:23):
spoke on TikTok from the hospital, says at first he thought.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Like, I'm probably gonna die here, and it just wasn't
God's time for me to die, and I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I'm really really a lot of pain.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
He's in the hospital, but Adobe is expected to recover meantime,
Charlotte police say they're blitz. Using extra cops uptown designed
to try and keep shoppers safe over the holiday, netted
big results last weekend. One hundred and twenty one traffic
tickets written, eighteen arrested, fourteen guns seized, and one, in
their words, violent gang member arrested. So of having more
(06:01):
officers uptown works, why not put more on the light rail?
Talking about crime on the light rail and in the
uptown area, survey fine Charlotte residents are worried.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Two thirds of Charlotte area residents believe the city has
become less safe over the past year. According to a
recent community survey obtained by Axios. Only four percent of
respondents felt the Queen City has become safer and thirty
percent said it's about the same. Those surveyed were particularly
concerned about safety in Uptown and South End, which have
(06:33):
seen crime spikes this year, including a two hundred percent
increase in murders and twelve percent rise in overall violence.
Brendan Dixon, WBT News.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Okay, so everything in that two and a half three
minute report. Exactly how long was Ellanie? How long? Two
fifty seven? So a three minute report? Thank you?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
So two minutes and fifty seven second report everything in it.
That may have been the best three minutes of newscast
I've heard in my seven years here at WBT.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
And I'm not even joking.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You had everything from the city council showing their stupidity
but allowing you to come to your own conclusion that
it's stupid. Then talking about the person accused of stabbing,
and then talked about the light rail and the person
that was stabbed had audio from him.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Then went to the crime stats at uptown and well, boy,
will we ever get into those Did you just hear
what Mark Garrison said?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
That was just over the weekend, not since December first,
over the weekend, those numbers.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
We will revisit those numbers.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
And then a survey about how people do not feel
safe or Charlotte feels less safe than it did a
year ago. But just remember, it's just perception. According to
CNPD and the City of Charlotte, it's just perception. There's
a difference between perception and reality. I know the old
(08:04):
saying is perception is reality. But in reality, perception is
not reality.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Not always.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Sometimes you can feel it's unsafe, and guess what it
actually is unsafe.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
But they love throwing that word around perception.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Someone told them to use it, and that's all they've
been using, and that's all they've been using. The city
and the hierarchy with the old police staff and now
the new police staff is still using the same word perception.
I swear to you, if I hear that one more time,
I'm gonna ask someone to define that word for me.
To me a favorite, tell me what is the word?
What is the definition of perception? In your eyes, in
(08:42):
your brain? What does perception mean? I swear to you,
if I hear that one more time, I'm going to
ask someone to define it. All right, So we're gonna
break down what Mark Garrison said when we return, because
there's a lot too breakdown we'll go back to breaking
(09:12):
with Brett Jensen on this Tuesday night seven four five,
seven oh eleven ten and again follow me on exit.
Brett underscore Jensen for all the letters to breaking news
in and around the Charlotte area.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Okay, so what do we know?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And I told you guys last night from what I
you know local TV station reported that the DA didn't
have any information at least sid in court. They didn't
have any information about the arrest records or whatever about
the suspect, and that wasn't entirely true there They didn't
(09:50):
have any from North Carolina, but there were others from
around the country specifically. And again this makes sense because
Fox News reported all of this this weekend had like
had the charges.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
So that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I mean, there's no way that Fox News has it,
and the local district's attorney's office didn't have it, Like
there's no way.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
That's there's just no way.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
So the local district's attorney or district attorney's office, I
promise you had this. On March fifth, two thousand and nine,
he was arrested in Passaic, New Jersey for simple assault
and resisting arrest. On March second, twenty twelve, arrested by
(10:37):
the Union City All this is in New Jersey, by
the way, arrested by the Union City Police Department for
robbery inflicting bodily injury. He was convicted on September fifth,
twenty thirteen, in the Hudson County Drug Court. On July seventh,
twenty sixteen, arrested by the Hillsboro County Sheriff's Office of Florida.
(11:00):
I believe is Tampa if I'm not mistaken, for aggravated
battery with a deadly weapon and evidence destroying. On February sixteenth,
twenty seventeen, arrested at the Hillsbury County Hillsborough County Sheriff's
Office of Florida for a resisting officer, having false ID,
(11:21):
giving to a law enforcement officer, a fugitive, loitering and prowling.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
And also on.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
June two, twenty seventeen, re sentenced for robbery by the
Hudson County Superior Court in New Jersey and was given
three years of incarceration. So this guy had been deported
twice in the midst of all these arrests from Florida
(11:49):
to Jersey and now in Charlotte.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Apparently so it's not like.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
This, Uh, this person doesn't have a history. And again,
he was banned from the light rail.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
How did he get on? What did I tell you
last night? There is no unless.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
It's almost going to be impossible, Like it's truly impossible.
Ban me today, and I promise you I'll be on
the light rail tonight.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Promise you.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
There's no way to prevent people from getting on cats,
buses or the light rail if you ban them, there's
it's it's just as silly if Bank of America bans
a fan from showing up because they ran naked onto
the field, Like, okay, you might be banned, but who's
when I go into different gates or I'm wearing a
(12:52):
baseball hat or sunglasses and I'm hanging out with Lonnie,
who's gonna who's gonna know me?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Who's gonna know me? Again? Just not gonna again when
you're talking tens of thousands.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Of people, slip in, slip out, slip in, slip out,
not a problem, not a problem. So again, I understand
that he was banned, and Dimple was like, well, how
did he get on the train? That should not have
been the question because anybody can get on a train
that's been banned. The question is how was he able
(13:26):
to get on the train without a ticket. That should
have been the question, Oh, you don't have a ticket.
Guess what, You're not on the train, so you and
your knife and your drunken self can go elsewhere. So
(13:48):
now there's the light rail. Now let's get into the
three and a half million dollars or thereabouts that city
council is going to spend on an advertising department into
axis to make you feel better about riding the light rail. Well,
because remember, it's all about perception. It's all about perception,
(14:14):
not necessarily reality, according to you know, all the powers
that be City Council, CMPD, everything else like that.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Right, Oh no, it's all about perception.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah, But with all that being said, they're going to
hire an advertising agency to go you know what, it
really is safe. Don't worry about the guy in the
corner with a knife. Don't worry about him. It's still safe.
(14:48):
Somebody sent me this, and I want to make sure
I actually quote it because it is actually it's it's
it's fair, it's it's uh semi appropriate. The new slogan
I'm gonna I'm gonna steal this from someone.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
This is not my own. I'm gonna steal this.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
The new slogan potentially for this advertising campaign could be
take a stab at riding our right light rail.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
It'll be a bloody good time, you know, English, bloody good,
bloody jolly good. Take a stab at our at riding
our light rail.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
It'll be a bloody good time. That should be the
new campaign slogan for the City show in their campaign
ad three and a half million dollars.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, that.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
What are you gonna do with that three and a
half million dollars?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
You're gonna buy TV ads and radio ads and newspaper
ads for a couple of months, and then what are
you gonna do when the next murder happens?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
You're gonna spend three and a.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Half million dollars more for the next stabbing to try
and tell people it's okay to ride the light rail.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I anxiously await every single day. What's gonna happen on
December eighteenth, when the first transit committee gets together. Now,
I'm already hearing bad things about this transit committee. I'm
gonna give you a heads up. I'm already hearing bad
things about it. Not from everyone. Some people are trying
to save it and make sure it does what it's
(16:20):
supposed to do, while others may have different agendas. Don't
forget it was the city in the county got to
put up like what over fifty percent of the people
on this board. So don't forget those apples. Who do
you think they picked right like minded individuals? Okay, all right,
(16:41):
when we come back the other stat that Mark Garrison
gave concerning Uptown, it's amazing, but yet remember now Uptown
is safe, it's just the perception that it's not. Welcome
(17:03):
back to Breaking with Brett Jensen on this Tuesday night again,
follow me on accept Brett underscored Jensen for all your
latest and breaking news in and around the Charlotte area. Okay,
so let's get into some of the numbers that Mark
Garrison broke down, the numbers that were released by CMPD. Now,
I want you to realize this, this is just from
like the weekend. They said from over the weekend, because
(17:26):
remember they had the big press conference that they had
last week that I was that I attended and in
conjunction with the State Police and the Sheriff's office and
the DA and the US Attorney and everyone else. CMPD
talk about how they're going to spend all the send
all these extra resources and officers uptown to try and
make it safe for the shoppers this holiday season, although
(17:49):
there's not a lot of retail uptown and not a
I mean, there are some restaurants, but you know, anyways,
and my question was, well, if you're doing this just
for the month of December, why don't you do it
all twelve months and make it safe year round as
opposed to just thirty days.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Well, now we got the stats.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Oh okay, I get that you wrote over one hundred
traffic citations.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
That's either running a red light or not coming to
a complete stop at a stop sign, or speeding.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Okay, I mean that's fine. That's fine. I got no
problem with that.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
That's fine. That's part of making Uptown safe. You want
to write traffic tickets, that's fine, whatever.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Eighteen arrests, I believe is what it was. I think
it was eighteen arrests and fourteen guns seized. Fourteen guns
in a weekend in Uptown, including well from a very
violent gang member.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
So just remember.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
It's perception that uptown, fourteen guns received fourteen guns. Okay,
but hey, there's no reason not to go uptown, and
there's no reason not to get on that light rail train.
And by god, we're gonna spend three hundred a half
(19:33):
million dollars out of ad agency to tell you.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
That you're wrong.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Okay, all right, I just I don't get it. I
don't get it.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
People have been telling you and screaming that uptown is
not safe.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
The Center or excuse me, the Charlotte Regional Business Alliance,
which is essentially the Chamber of Commerce.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Okay, the Chamber.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
They changed the name to these Center City like there's
the Center City Partners and there's the Charlotte Regional Business Alliance,
like they're all basically like businesses.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
They held a prize conference saying, Charlotte's not safe in
uptown and our businesses are suffering, and we want to
interact and bring in all these new activities with CMPD
and everything else. Okay, and now you have to have
even more of a presence in uptown because that apparently
(20:38):
wasn't working, because otherwise you would not have seized fourteen
guns over the weekend. Just an uptown like what This
is what's so frustrating to me at times. It's things
like this that just make me just want to go
and just wave the white flag and go. You know what,
I give up.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I give up.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
I give up the so much banging my head against
the wall that I can actually take. We have all
this data, but it's not unsafe, but we're gonna amp
up security.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Why are you having up security if it's not unsafe?
And then you have even more crime, So now you have.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
To ramp it up even more and you take over
fourteen guns and make eighteen arrests over the weekend. Fourteen guns. Hey,
uptown safe, It's just perception. Remember that we literally heard
that from the police chief last week. Perception.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
No, no, how about reality. I want someone to say
the reality is Uptown is not safe.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
If it were safe, we wouldn't have to do all
these special programs and extra efforts. I just want someone
to tell me the honest to God's truth for once.
If you're an elected state, the official or with CMPDY
for the love of God and everything that is holy
in this universe, can you just say, guess what you're right?
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Uptown is not stay safe. Look at the stats. Two
hundred percent. Rais and murders, okay, rapes.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Violent crimes, armed ribery, everything's up across the board in Uptown.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
But it's perception.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Don't worry about all these extra officers that we're having
to put up there.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
It's just perception. Don't worry about.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Hey, we're gonna spend three and a half million dollars
on a stupid ad campaign to tell you that light
rail is safe, but we're not going to have any
security on it like old Friday Arena Zarutska. Okay, there
are twenty cars that run for twenty hours on the
light rail. Twenty cars for twenty hours, and if you're
(22:55):
telling me you cannot have twenty officers there for twenty hours,
then that is a major problem and maybe the state
or the federal government needs to take.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Over the light rail.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
If you cannot employ twenty officers for twenty hours, you
have four officers do five hour shifts per car, right,
twenty hours per car, have four officers do it for
five hours, right, So that's one hundred officers.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
That's it. It's one hundred officers in a twenty hour span. Oh,
I take that back, it's eighty officers, right, Either way. Yeah,
five times, yeah, five times twenty. It's one hundred officers.
It's one hundred officers. That's it.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Because you can have some of the platforms, you can
have some of the cars. There's twenty six platforms and
there's twenty cars.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
That's it. That's it.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
But hey, we would rather spend three and a half
million dollars on an advertising campaign to tell you that
you are safe. Take a stab at writing Charlotte's light rail.
That's gotta be the ad campaign.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
It's got to be. It's brilliant, because I'm sick and
tired of just what are they?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
As I said something earlier, someone's paying on me but
actually telling me that it's raining. That's literally what's happening here. Right,
Don't look at the left hand. Only pay attention to
the right hand. That's how magicians work. They distract you
with one hand and then they do all their crazy
(24:52):
stuff with the left hand that you don't notice.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Welcome back to Breaking with Brett Jensen on this Tuesday night.
I keep forgetting what da it is? Okay, so this happened.
This came to me back in November, and I just
now got the letter and opened it.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Okay, somebody sent me a letter here at the station,
and it came from the Humane Society of Charlotte. Okay,
and I'm going to read the very first paragraph, which
is only one sentence from this Charlotte Humane Society. Humane Society, Charlotte,
(25:47):
I should say, Dear Brett, someone very special thought of
the animals at the huge Humane Society of Charlotte when
they were remembering Maggie May Jensen. So someone went through
the Humane Society of Charlotte and made a donation in
(26:08):
Maggie's name because she passed on May thirty first, sixteen
years and one week to the day. My Golden Retriever
true story. I haven't put up my Christmas tree this year.
I don't even know if I'm going to, because she
loved to lay under the Christmas tree and ride beside
it in all the lights.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
I doubt I'm even gonna put it up.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
So this dog named Merrill came to us from a
partner shelter with a fractured right hind leg, the result
of being hit by a car before arriving at the shelter.
For several weeks, she stayed at Faster Care while her
team hoped that her leg might heal on its own.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Unfortunately, her fracture did not improve enough and she.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Needed a specialized orthopedic surgery to ensure full recovery. Thanks
to donor support, we were able to bring in an
orthopedic specialist to perform the necessary surgery on site, given
Merrill the expert care she required. And there's a photo,
a black and white photo of Meryl, and she sort
of looks like a I would describe it almost like
(27:13):
a black golden retriever, almost like a I mean, that's
just what she looks like. While with this at the
Maine Society, Charlotte Merrill received life saving medical attention, a
loving foster environment, and the chance to fully heal. She
wouldn't have received this level of care without generous donors.
Today Merrill is thriving, happy and healthy, a shining example
(27:36):
of how your support transforms lives. Meryl's success story was
made possible thanks to a generous gift we received from
David Strube in Waxaw in memory of Maggie May Jensen.
And I'm like, I had to read that like three
(27:57):
or four times. I actually was reading this letter during
the commercial breaks in this show, and like having to
read it like an extra three or four times their
thoughtfulness and Maggie May Jensen and her memory will help
us fulfill our mission and care for animals through our adoption, fosters,
spe and neuter volunteer and community outreach programs. Please accept
(28:22):
our heartfelt condolences for your loss. We hope you find
comfort knowing that your loved one's memory will live on
through future generations of animals and the people who love them.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
On behalf of.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Merrill and all the people and pets we serve. Thank
you for being our partner and by receiving this generous acknowledgment.
That's sincerely from Sophie Zapp, the philanthropy manager with the
Humane Sincinaties Charlotte, So, David Strue out of Waxhaw. Now
(28:52):
you have to understand before I say something really stupid here.
You have to understand. And I've got one particular person
that would vouch for this in two seconds. I am
literally the world's worst person when it comes to names.
I in my phone my best friend's fiance for the
(29:16):
longest time in my phone was John Dwyer's fiance like
I would have her name and then in parentheses his
name and what she is like her first right and
for the longest time people here at the sales staff
(29:37):
at WBT or Radio one, I would literally have to
put WBT sales like because I just am really, really
really bad with names, really.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Bad with names.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
So anyways, so if I tell you that to tell
you this, I don't remember meeting David.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Maybe I have. If I have, I'm sorry, maybe I
would recognize the face.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
But the fact that David would make David Strube of
Waxhaw would make such a generous donation to save the
life of the other pet on behalf of Maggie's name.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
That's pretty special. As a matter of fact, like this,
the letter's.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Going to go home and I'm going to frame it,
probably put it with the other things of Maggie's mementos, like.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Her ashes and her pawprint and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
So David, that is so awesome that you did that
a that you wanted to save that animal, Meryl and
fix the leg and pay for the operation, and then
even crazy more generous that you would also do it
in honor of Maggie. So I truly, truly, truly thank you,
And hopefully Merrill will go on to live sixteen years
(30:53):
in one week as well.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
So again, thank you so much, David. I truly truly
appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
All Right, on that good note, we're gonna leave you
off because it was forty five minutes of just crap
and fifteen minutes of good stuff thanks to David Strube.
All Right, everyone that's gonna do it for us tonight.
Coming up next will be the TJ. Richie Show. We're
doing this all over again tomorrow. My name is Brett Jensen,
and you have been listening to Breaking with Brett Jensen
Hi Oh, Let's go hi oh, Let's go oh, Let's
go hi oh, Let's come.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Blease Talk eleven ten and ninety nine three WBT Brad
Jenson here with you on this Tuesday night edition of
Breaking with Brad Jenson. As we go up until seven
o'clock tonight. Telephone numbers as always to get in on
the show seven oh four, five, seven oh eleven ten.
That's also the WBT text Ligne, driven of course by
(00:52):
Liberty Buick and GMC. So a lot of things that
we're going to get into tonight. I talked to you
guys last night about hoping to have some information about
the person accused of stabbing someone on the light rail
the two times deported illegal immigrant, illegal alien, whatever you
want to call him, undocumented resident, however you want to
(01:14):
say it, but I do. I've got all the background
information and a lot of that was coming out, and
a lot of the initial stuff that I thought was
out there wound up being accurate. He has a big
criminal history. As a shocker, I know when you see
face tattoos, I know it shocks you that someone has
(01:35):
a criminal history. I know, you know, like all over
the forehead down, the eyes down, the cheek bones.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I know it's a shock, but hey.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
So I know, don't judge a book by its cover,
but you also sometimes have to figure out what book
the section of the library it's in. That tells you
a lot. All right, Well, so this morning I do
Bowen Beth, and I get done with the segment, and
I want to hear, you know, some things that are
(02:07):
going on. So I listen to Garrison. And I don't
get a lot of times a chance to listen to
the station throughout the day because I'm on the phone
four or five hours a day, text messaging NonStop all
day every day, and so I don't have a lot
of time to sit around at the house and like
have it on in the background or whatever. So I
(02:29):
stayed on to listen to the newscast at Garrison, and
it might singularly have been maybe and I'm not even
trying to be hyperbolic, because you know, I've never done
this before. It may have been the best newscast I've
ever heard because it covered so much of what's going
on in the last twenty four oh I guess since Friday,
And so I want you to hear because there's so
(02:52):
much information in this two and a half minutes about
the light rail and the morn. I want to say,
moronic moves of the city council. How about just pure stupidity.
How about not very well educated people. Some are extremely
well educated M.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I T.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Harvard and others. But just because you went to Harvard
or M. I. T. Doesn't mean that you have common sense.
And I'm not saying that Dante Anderson doesn't have common sense.
I'm just saying in general, but when you when you
hear this report, you'll understand why. It's just it's stupid
beyond repair with the city council. And I know some
(03:32):
of those people on city Council aren't very bright. I
know that for a fact. But with that being said,
I want you to hear Garrison's entire news report, and
we're gonna just break this down when we're when we
get on the other side of this.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
No extra security instead, the city council designs light rail
needs better pr and had we.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Had somebody boots on the ground at that location, that
instant probably never would have happen.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
My latest stabbing on the light rail has people asking
Charlotte City Council please spend more money for security on
the trains.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
I know it's going to cost more money, but it will,
in my opinion, resolve a lot of these situations.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
So last night council decided to spend some money, but
not to make the train safer. Instead, they decided to
spend three point four million dollars for an ad campaign
to try to convince you to ride the train even
though you could encounter a drunk, or a pervert or
a man with a knife. The money will go to
a Texas based company, the Sherry Matthews Group, that does
(04:37):
work with cities. As for actually making light rails safer,
no action by the council last night, though councilwoman dmple
Ashmara did have a question. She wanted to know why
the man who stabbed a passenger Friday on the train
could get on board since he had been previously banned
by kats, Why was.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
He allowed back on the system and.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
How are reinforcing those bands.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
She got no answer to that. As for security, cats
uses unarmed rent a cops to ride some trains, now
the city will spend millions trying to lure you to
take a chance and take a ride. As for the
suspect and the latest stabbing, Oscar Solazano. He's an illegal
immigrant locked up without bond. The man he stabbed, Kenyon Dobe,
(05:23):
spoke on TikTok from the hospital, says at first he thought.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Like, I'm probably gonna die here, and it just wasn't
God's time for me to die, and I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I'm really really a lot of pain.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
He's in the hospital, but Adobe is expected to recover meantime,
Charlotte police say they're blitz. Using extra cops uptown designed
to try and keep shoppers safe over the holiday, netted
big results last weekend. One hundred and twenty one traffic
tickets written, eighteen arrested, fourteen guns seized, and one, in
their words, violent gang member arrested. So of having more
(06:01):
officers uptown works, why not put more on the light rail?
Talking about crime on the light rail and in the
uptown area, survey fine Charlotte residents are worried.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Two thirds of Charlotte area residents believe the city has
become less safe over the past year. According to a
recent community survey obtained by Axios. Only four percent of
respondents felt the Queen City has become safer and thirty
percent said it's about the same. Those surveyed were particularly
concerned about safety in Uptown and South End, which have
(06:33):
seen crime spikes this year, including a two hundred percent
increase in murders and twelve percent rise in overall violence.
Brendan Dixon, WBT News.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Okay, so everything in that two and a half three
minute report. Exactly how long was Ellanie? How long? Two
fifty seven? So a three minute report? Thank you?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
So two minutes and fifty seven second report everything in it.
That may have been the best three minutes of newscast
I've heard in my seven years here at WBT.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
And I'm not even joking.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You had everything from the city council showing their stupidity
but allowing you to come to your own conclusion that
it's stupid. Then talking about the person accused of stabbing,
and then talked about the light rail and the person
that was stabbed had audio from him.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Then went to the crime stats at uptown and well, boy,
will we ever get into those Did you just hear
what Mark Garrison said?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
That was just over the weekend, not since December first,
over the weekend, those numbers.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
We will revisit those numbers.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
And then a survey about how people do not feel
safe or Charlotte feels less safe than it did a
year ago. But just remember, it's just perception. According to
CNPD and the City of Charlotte, it's just perception. There's
a difference between perception and reality. I know the old
(08:04):
saying is perception is reality. But in reality, perception is
not reality.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Not always.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Sometimes you can feel it's unsafe, and guess what it
actually is unsafe.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
But they love throwing that word around perception.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Someone told them to use it, and that's all they've
been using, and that's all they've been using. The city
and the hierarchy with the old police staff and now
the new police staff is still using the same word perception.
I swear to you, if I hear that one more time,
I'm gonna ask someone to define that word for me.
To me a favorite, tell me what is the word?
What is the definition of perception? In your eyes, in
(08:42):
your brain? What does perception mean? I swear to you,
if I hear that one more time, I'm going to
ask someone to define it. All right, So we're gonna
break down what Mark Garrison said when we return, because
there's a lot too breakdown we'll go back to breaking
(09:12):
with Brett Jensen on this Tuesday night seven four five,
seven oh eleven ten and again follow me on exit.
Brett underscore Jensen for all the letters to breaking news
in and around the Charlotte area.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Okay, so what do we know?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And I told you guys last night from what I
you know local TV station reported that the DA didn't
have any information at least sid in court. They didn't
have any information about the arrest records or whatever about
the suspect, and that wasn't entirely true there They didn't
(09:50):
have any from North Carolina, but there were others from
around the country specifically. And again this makes sense because
Fox News reported all of this this weekend had like
had the charges.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
So that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I mean, there's no way that Fox News has it,
and the local district's attorney's office didn't have it, Like
there's no way.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
That's there's just no way.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
So the local district's attorney or district attorney's office, I
promise you had this. On March fifth, two thousand and nine,
he was arrested in Passaic, New Jersey for simple assault
and resisting arrest. On March second, twenty twelve, arrested by
(10:37):
the Union City All this is in New Jersey, by
the way, arrested by the Union City Police Department for
robbery inflicting bodily injury. He was convicted on September fifth,
twenty thirteen, in the Hudson County Drug Court. On July seventh,
twenty sixteen, arrested by the Hillsboro County Sheriff's Office of Florida.
(11:00):
I believe is Tampa if I'm not mistaken, for aggravated
battery with a deadly weapon and evidence destroying. On February sixteenth,
twenty seventeen, arrested at the Hillsbury County Hillsborough County Sheriff's
Office of Florida for a resisting officer, having false ID,
(11:21):
giving to a law enforcement officer, a fugitive, loitering and prowling.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
And also on.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
June two, twenty seventeen, re sentenced for robbery by the
Hudson County Superior Court in New Jersey and was given
three years of incarceration. So this guy had been deported
twice in the midst of all these arrests from Florida
(11:49):
to Jersey and now in Charlotte.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Apparently so it's not like.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
This, Uh, this person doesn't have a history. And again,
he was banned from the light rail.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
How did he get on? What did I tell you
last night? There is no unless.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
It's almost going to be impossible, Like it's truly impossible.
Ban me today, and I promise you I'll be on
the light rail tonight.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Promise you.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
There's no way to prevent people from getting on cats,
buses or the light rail if you ban them, there's
it's it's just as silly if Bank of America bans
a fan from showing up because they ran naked onto
the field, Like, okay, you might be banned, but who's
when I go into different gates or I'm wearing a
(12:52):
baseball hat or sunglasses and I'm hanging out with Lonnie,
who's gonna who's gonna know me?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Who's gonna know me? Again? Just not gonna again when
you're talking tens of thousands.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Of people, slip in, slip out, slip in, slip out,
not a problem, not a problem. So again, I understand
that he was banned, and Dimple was like, well, how
did he get on the train? That should not have
been the question because anybody can get on a train
that's been banned. The question is how was he able
(13:26):
to get on the train without a ticket. That should
have been the question, Oh, you don't have a ticket.
Guess what, You're not on the train, so you and
your knife and your drunken self can go elsewhere. So
(13:48):
now there's the light rail. Now let's get into the
three and a half million dollars or thereabouts that city
council is going to spend on an advertising department into
axis to make you feel better about riding the light rail. Well,
because remember, it's all about perception. It's all about perception,
(14:14):
not necessarily reality, according to you know, all the powers
that be City Council, CMPD, everything else like that.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Right, Oh no, it's all about perception.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah, But with all that being said, they're going to
hire an advertising agency to go you know what, it
really is safe. Don't worry about the guy in the
corner with a knife. Don't worry about him. It's still safe.
(14:48):
Somebody sent me this, and I want to make sure
I actually quote it because it is actually it's it's
it's fair, it's it's uh semi appropriate. The new slogan
I'm gonna I'm gonna steal this from someone.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
This is not my own. I'm gonna steal this.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
The new slogan potentially for this advertising campaign could be
take a stab at riding our right light rail.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
It'll be a bloody good time, you know, English, bloody good,
bloody jolly good. Take a stab at our at riding
our light rail.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
It'll be a bloody good time. That should be the
new campaign slogan for the City show in their campaign
ad three and a half million dollars.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, that.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
What are you gonna do with that three and a
half million dollars?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
You're gonna buy TV ads and radio ads and newspaper
ads for a couple of months, and then what are
you gonna do when the next murder happens?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
You're gonna spend three and a.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Half million dollars more for the next stabbing to try
and tell people it's okay to ride the light rail.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I anxiously await every single day. What's gonna happen on
December eighteenth, when the first transit committee gets together. Now,
I'm already hearing bad things about this transit committee. I'm
gonna give you a heads up. I'm already hearing bad
things about it. Not from everyone. Some people are trying
to save it and make sure it does what it's
(16:20):
supposed to do, while others may have different agendas. Don't
forget it was the city in the county got to
put up like what over fifty percent of the people
on this board. So don't forget those apples. Who do
you think they picked right like minded individuals? Okay, all right,
(16:41):
when we come back the other stat that Mark Garrison
gave concerning Uptown, it's amazing, but yet remember now Uptown
is safe, it's just the perception that it's not. Welcome
(17:03):
back to Breaking with Brett Jensen on this Tuesday night again,
follow me on accept Brett underscored Jensen for all your
latest and breaking news in and around the Charlotte area. Okay,
so let's get into some of the numbers that Mark
Garrison broke down, the numbers that were released by CMPD. Now,
I want you to realize this, this is just from
like the weekend. They said from over the weekend, because
(17:26):
remember they had the big press conference that they had
last week that I was that I attended and in
conjunction with the State Police and the Sheriff's office and
the DA and the US Attorney and everyone else. CMPD
talk about how they're going to spend all the send
all these extra resources and officers uptown to try and
make it safe for the shoppers this holiday season, although
(17:49):
there's not a lot of retail uptown and not a
I mean, there are some restaurants, but you know, anyways,
and my question was, well, if you're doing this just
for the month of December, why don't you do it
all twelve months and make it safe year round as
opposed to just thirty days.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Well, now we got the stats.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Oh okay, I get that you wrote over one hundred
traffic citations.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
That's either running a red light or not coming to
a complete stop at a stop sign, or speeding.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Okay, I mean that's fine. That's fine. I got no
problem with that.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
That's fine. That's part of making Uptown safe. You want
to write traffic tickets, that's fine, whatever.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Eighteen arrests, I believe is what it was. I think
it was eighteen arrests and fourteen guns seized. Fourteen guns
in a weekend in Uptown, including well from a very
violent gang member.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
So just remember.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
It's perception that uptown, fourteen guns received fourteen guns. Okay,
but hey, there's no reason not to go uptown, and
there's no reason not to get on that light rail train.
And by god, we're gonna spend three hundred a half
(19:33):
million dollars out of ad agency to tell you.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
That you're wrong.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Okay, all right, I just I don't get it. I
don't get it.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
People have been telling you and screaming that uptown is
not safe.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
The Center or excuse me, the Charlotte Regional Business Alliance,
which is essentially the Chamber of Commerce.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Okay, the Chamber.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
They changed the name to these Center City like there's
the Center City Partners and there's the Charlotte Regional Business Alliance,
like they're all basically like businesses.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
They held a prize conference saying, Charlotte's not safe in
uptown and our businesses are suffering, and we want to
interact and bring in all these new activities with CMPD
and everything else. Okay, and now you have to have
even more of a presence in uptown because that apparently
(20:38):
wasn't working, because otherwise you would not have seized fourteen
guns over the weekend. Just an uptown like what This
is what's so frustrating to me at times. It's things
like this that just make me just want to go
and just wave the white flag and go. You know what,
I give up.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I give up.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
I give up the so much banging my head against
the wall that I can actually take. We have all
this data, but it's not unsafe, but we're gonna amp
up security.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Why are you having up security if it's not unsafe?
And then you have even more crime, So now you have.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
To ramp it up even more and you take over
fourteen guns and make eighteen arrests over the weekend. Fourteen guns. Hey,
uptown safe, It's just perception. Remember that we literally heard
that from the police chief last week. Perception.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
No, no, how about reality. I want someone to say
the reality is Uptown is not safe.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
If it were safe, we wouldn't have to do all
these special programs and extra efforts. I just want someone
to tell me the honest to God's truth for once.
If you're an elected state, the official or with CMPDY
for the love of God and everything that is holy
in this universe, can you just say, guess what you're right?
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Uptown is not stay safe. Look at the stats. Two
hundred percent. Rais and murders, okay, rapes.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Violent crimes, armed ribery, everything's up across the board in Uptown.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
But it's perception.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Don't worry about all these extra officers that we're having
to put up there.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
It's just perception. Don't worry about.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Hey, we're gonna spend three and a half million dollars
on a stupid ad campaign to tell you that light
rail is safe, but we're not going to have any
security on it like old Friday Arena Zarutska. Okay, there
are twenty cars that run for twenty hours on the
light rail. Twenty cars for twenty hours, and if you're
(22:55):
telling me you cannot have twenty officers there for twenty hours,
then that is a major problem and maybe the state
or the federal government needs to take.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Over the light rail.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
If you cannot employ twenty officers for twenty hours, you
have four officers do five hour shifts per car, right,
twenty hours per car, have four officers do it for
five hours, right, So that's one hundred officers.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
That's it. It's one hundred officers in a twenty hour span. Oh,
I take that back, it's eighty officers, right, Either way. Yeah,
five times, yeah, five times twenty. It's one hundred officers.
It's one hundred officers. That's it.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Because you can have some of the platforms, you can
have some of the cars. There's twenty six platforms and
there's twenty cars.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
That's it. That's it.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
But hey, we would rather spend three and a half
million dollars on an advertising campaign to tell you that
you are safe. Take a stab at writing Charlotte's light rail.
That's gotta be the ad campaign.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
It's got to be. It's brilliant, because I'm sick and
tired of just what are they?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
As I said something earlier, someone's paying on me but
actually telling me that it's raining. That's literally what's happening here. Right,
Don't look at the left hand. Only pay attention to
the right hand. That's how magicians work. They distract you
with one hand and then they do all their crazy
(24:52):
stuff with the left hand that you don't notice.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Welcome back to Breaking with Brett Jensen on this Tuesday night.
I keep forgetting what da it is? Okay, so this happened.
This came to me back in November, and I just
now got the letter and opened it.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Okay, somebody sent me a letter here at the station,
and it came from the Humane Society of Charlotte. Okay,
and I'm going to read the very first paragraph, which
is only one sentence from this Charlotte Humane Society. Humane Society, Charlotte,
(25:47):
I should say, Dear Brett, someone very special thought of
the animals at the huge Humane Society of Charlotte when
they were remembering Maggie May Jensen. So someone went through
the Humane Society of Charlotte and made a donation in
(26:08):
Maggie's name because she passed on May thirty first, sixteen
years and one week to the day. My Golden Retriever
true story. I haven't put up my Christmas tree this year.
I don't even know if I'm going to, because she
loved to lay under the Christmas tree and ride beside
it in all the lights.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
I doubt I'm even gonna put it up.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
So this dog named Merrill came to us from a
partner shelter with a fractured right hind leg, the result
of being hit by a car before arriving at the shelter.
For several weeks, she stayed at Faster Care while her
team hoped that her leg might heal on its own.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Unfortunately, her fracture did not improve enough and she.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Needed a specialized orthopedic surgery to ensure full recovery. Thanks
to donor support, we were able to bring in an
orthopedic specialist to perform the necessary surgery on site, given
Merrill the expert care she required. And there's a photo,
a black and white photo of Meryl, and she sort
of looks like a I would describe it almost like
(27:13):
a black golden retriever, almost like a I mean, that's
just what she looks like. While with this at the
Maine Society, Charlotte Merrill received life saving medical attention, a
loving foster environment, and the chance to fully heal. She
wouldn't have received this level of care without generous donors.
Today Merrill is thriving, happy and healthy, a shining example
(27:36):
of how your support transforms lives. Meryl's success story was
made possible thanks to a generous gift we received from
David Strube in Waxaw in memory of Maggie May Jensen.
And I'm like, I had to read that like three
(27:57):
or four times. I actually was reading this letter during
the commercial breaks in this show, and like having to
read it like an extra three or four times their
thoughtfulness and Maggie May Jensen and her memory will help
us fulfill our mission and care for animals through our adoption, fosters,
spe and neuter volunteer and community outreach programs. Please accept
(28:22):
our heartfelt condolences for your loss. We hope you find
comfort knowing that your loved one's memory will live on
through future generations of animals and the people who love them.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
On behalf of.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Merrill and all the people and pets we serve. Thank
you for being our partner and by receiving this generous acknowledgment.
That's sincerely from Sophie Zapp, the philanthropy manager with the
Humane Sincinaties Charlotte, So, David Strue out of Waxhaw. Now
(28:52):
you have to understand before I say something really stupid here.
You have to understand. And I've got one particular person
that would vouch for this in two seconds. I am
literally the world's worst person when it comes to names.
I in my phone my best friend's fiance for the
(29:16):
longest time in my phone was John Dwyer's fiance like
I would have her name and then in parentheses his
name and what she is like her first right and
for the longest time people here at the sales staff
(29:37):
at WBT or Radio one, I would literally have to
put WBT sales like because I just am really, really
really bad with names, really.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Bad with names.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
So anyways, so if I tell you that to tell
you this, I don't remember meeting David.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Maybe I have. If I have, I'm sorry, maybe I
would recognize the face.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
But the fact that David would make David Strube of
Waxhaw would make such a generous donation to save the
life of the other pet on behalf of Maggie's name.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
That's pretty special. As a matter of fact, like this,
the letter's.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Going to go home and I'm going to frame it,
probably put it with the other things of Maggie's mementos, like.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Her ashes and her pawprint and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
So David, that is so awesome that you did that
a that you wanted to save that animal, Meryl and
fix the leg and pay for the operation, and then
even crazy more generous that you would also do it
in honor of Maggie. So I truly, truly, truly thank you,
And hopefully Merrill will go on to live sixteen years
(30:53):
in one week as well.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
So again, thank you so much, David. I truly truly
appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
All Right, on that good note, we're gonna leave you
off because it was forty five minutes of just crap
and fifteen minutes of good stuff thanks to David Strube.
All Right, everyone that's gonna do it for us tonight.
Coming up next will be the TJ. Richie Show. We're
doing this all over again tomorrow. My name is Brett Jensen,
