Speaker 1 (00:21):
Hi oh, Let's go oh, Let's go oh, Let's go oh.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
News Talk eleven ten and ninety nine three WBT Brett
Jensen here with you on this Wednesday night edition. Are
breaking with Brett Jensen as we go up until seven
o'clock tonight, telephone number seven oh four five seven oh
eleven ten And guys, make sure you follow me on
except Brett Underscore Jensen for all the latest and break
in email for all the latest and breaking news in
(00:54):
and around the Showotte area. By the way, Isaac, did.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
You get that audio I sent you?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Okay, Just we'll make sure. Just we'll make sure. So
like two pieces of audio, because both one of them
we are playing. And it's a press conference that I
went today, went to today and it's right around the
corner from here actually, and it's a Hyatt's gun shop
right there on Loookings and Boulevard and we're we're going
to get into that later on. And there's also some
(01:19):
other things going on in terms of Roy Cooper, and
we're also going to get into some things concerning Atrium
and I heard Coachley talking about it this morning, and
I'm glad that he did. I'm glad that he brought
it up, and it's it's something that needs to be
(01:41):
brought up. And it's the fact that they, meaning Atrium,
would even consider doing this. But hey, never being one
to turn down a dollar, let's give kids all these
puberty blockers, so.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
You know, and all that stuff. Right.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
But HM came out and said, look, and HM is
ending its gender affirming meds for youth, and Vince had
a good line. He's like, dude, it's not gender affirming
at all. It's not affirm meaning basically, you know, affirmative confirming. No. No,
(02:36):
And I will tell you this, this has nothing to
do with being a reporter. This has nothing to do
with politics. And you know that I always try to,
as best I know it, to deal in one pure facts,
pure facts.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
That's what I always try to do.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Now, there have been as where I've gotten reports wrong
because the people that we rely on as reporters might
have wrong information. Okay, that happens, and then you write
a clarification or a correction. We've all had them.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I've had like two.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Really big ones in my career, and one one one
that happened here at WBT. I don't know, like three
years ago, maybe four years ago, three four years ago,
three years ago. So you get part of the story right,
but you don't have one hundred percent of the story right.
You got it ninety percent of it right. And but
(03:42):
it's not the ninety percent, it's the ten percent.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
That you got wrong.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
And it's happened to every reporter who's ever been a reporter.
And if you've never gotten a story wrong, then you're
literally not a reporter. You're just following the herd, and
you're just doing nothing. You're you're not doing anything. You're
literally not a reporter. So anyway, so my truth is this,
(04:07):
there is nothing more infuriating in a hyperbolic sense. And
when I say nothing more infuriating, and or I should
say very little as infuriating and something that is blatantly false.
(04:36):
Neil degras Tyson, who has made a complete clown of himself,
and he went on a rant not long ago about
the sex you are assigned at birth.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
You are not.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
You are not assigned a sex. It's not like they
randomly chose one out of a hat, and said Isaac, henceforth.
You know, even though your hair's blond, we're gonna say
it's blue. Henceforth to the day you die unless you
take special meds. Your hair's blue, even though it's really not,
even though it's like a sandy color, we're still gonna
(05:13):
say it's blue. There's only one entity in this universe
that assigns sex, and that's the Lord above. I think
we would agree with that, right And even if you
don't agree with it, even if you are an atheist
or agnostic, there's no one randomly assigning a birth. You
(05:42):
can you can clearly see before the child is born
through ultrasound male or female plants, flowers, animals male female
like flowers. Like we all learned about the pollen and
all that stuff in the pistol when we were in school, right,
(06:05):
remember that with flowers? Okay, animals don't go hey, yeah,
you know what. On second thought, I don't want to
be the one going out and forging to try and
provide and try and eat. Yeah, that's not me. I'm
(06:26):
just gonna stay at the house and I'm gonna let
the woman do that. Now, maybe in some animals, animal species,
that's the way it happens, maybe, like in the world
of penguins. Maybe, but you are not assigned a gender
at birth. It also infuriates me when they say they're
saving children's lives, you're gonna kill people. Really, Okay, there's
(06:55):
this African tribe that does things to young girls as
they get older in terms of removing certain genitalia, and
(07:15):
a lot of people were upset about that, specifically on
the liberal side. They're mutilating these young girls. That's what
you would always hear. And I don't disagree. But yet
that same person might do that to their own eight
year old child, their own twelve year old child.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Really, I will for the life of me. They're like,
look and we know for a fact.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
And again, facts studies people who are liberal have much
more mental health issues than people who are conservative.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
That is a fact. Look it up.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Don't believe me. Maybe you'll believe columb Columbia University. There
was hard studies at Harvard. How about one of the
biggest medical schools in the world, JOHNS Hopkins. Maybe you
believe them, right, But HRIM Health recently stopped providing gender
firming medication for people eighteen and younger, a move that
(08:20):
transgender rights and LGBTQ organizations around the Charlotte region immediately decried.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
By God, we want our five year olds to never
have puberty.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
By God, we have that right to destroy the lives
of our five year old.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
How dare you tell you tell us we can't do
that to our child? Okay, okay again, severe.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Mental health issues from a clinical and medical standpoint, not
even a political standpoint, clinical and medical mental health issues.
Look it up, not even Google, not even kidding round Google.
Do do liberals have more mental health issues? Are liberals
(09:08):
less happy in life?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Look it up.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It's all there. Those studies have been being done around
the world since the seventies.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
This is like something new, This is going on fifty years.
But the fact that people are so upset.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
This rights group issued a this is, according to the
Charlotte Observer, a blistering statement on Facebook last week condemning
the move. Okay, the statement was on the page for
time out Youth. You know why they wanted time out
youth because they want your youth to stop time out.
You know when you call it time out in the game,
things stop time out, youth, Oh, time out, time out.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
We want all your youth to immediately come to a halt.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
That's the way I take it. Seems to be apropos
and they're upset for not providing resources for that community
people ages thirteen to twenty four.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Okay. It was also joined by the Gender Education.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Network's let me give you quick education. Look between your legs,
there's your education that immediately tells you what you are.
Don't blame Donald Trump. Don't blame society. It's not his fault.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Anyways.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
When we come back, I want to dive a little
bit more into this, and then we've got some stuff
going on with the ATF and the US Attorney's Office
and CMPD. They had a press conference over that I
covered today over at Hyatt's Gunshop, So we'll get into
that when we return. My name is Brett Jenson, and
you're listening to Breaking with Brett Jnson. Welcome back to
(11:08):
Breaking with Brett Jensen. Appreciate it. Seven oh four or
five seven eleven ten. That's the telephone number and the
Liberty View at GMC text line. All right, let's get
back to some of this Ahriam crap.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
The group said, Hum and his parents' company, Advocate Health,
are making a decision quote based on fear of retaliation
by hostile federal agency or funding cuts. Uh yeah, you
think they're a hospital they're a business.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I again, mentally disturbed people.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Liberals Democrats are far more likely to be mentally disturbed.
I implore you to look it up. I'm not just
being some all like this right wing punnet. First of all, no, no,
not even close. I've told all you people on this,
on this, on these airwaves, many many times, every single
(12:10):
president I have voted for, and four times I voted Democrat.
I voted for Bill Clinton twice, and I voted like
you think I was going to vote for Bob Dole
really okay? And I voted for Obama twice. Brent, you
(12:33):
really think I was going to vote to have Sarah
Palin near the White House? Are you serious?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Right now? And Mitt Romney? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
How's that working out for Mitt Romney right about now?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Okay, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Nonetheless, Atrium refused to make anyone available for an interview
with a shot observer. Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Also, in twenty twenty three state law, it restricted gender
firming care for minors to find as people younger than
eighteen Okay. Again, when you are mentally stunted, emotionally dwarfed,
(13:30):
apparently you do not have the capacity to understand boy
or girl. And in the extremely rare occasions someone who
comes out born as both. Now that person will have
either you know, an either an xy chromosome or double X, right,
(13:55):
but it will still determine. Now every again, every once
in a five hundred million births, there might be something
even a little bit more wonky. And I get it, Okay,
I understand that, well, Brett, Why do you care what
(14:16):
people do with their own lives? First of all, I
don't care if you want to act like a chipmunk
and drive around in your car dressed in a chipmunk
outfit outfit, don't care, do not care. But we're talking
about parents who are mentally challenged, emotionally making life altering
decisions for ten year olds, thirteen year olds, fourteen year olds. Okay,
(14:44):
that's what we're talking about, and that is a major,
major problem. And just so you are aware of this, Oh,
you are throwing your moral aptitude and beliefs upon societ. No,
(15:06):
but there are laws. There are laws, and I'm not
sure if you're aware of this, but a lot of
your laws, if not almost all of them, but most
of them are based on morals. I can't shoot Isaac
in the face because it would be morally wrong.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
To do, so.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Quit looking at me, funny, Isaac, Right, I can't knock
a woman over the head with a club, unconscious dragger
by the hair back to my lair, like they did
in cave man days.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Why it's morally wrong. It's morals, period, morals. So yes,
there are laws based on all that stuff. That's how
we come up with this stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
It's unbelievable the fact that Atri was even doing this
and begin with speaks volumes, and I remember Mark Garrison
did a whole big thing on Atrium about this not
long ago, and they went running hiding like they always do,
like they always do.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
You know, it's just.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
But now they're catching backlash. Oo oh no those fifteen people,
Oh no, what are they gonna do to us? Fifteen
people are upset at atriam Oh no, it's unbelievable. All right,
when we come back, we're gonna get into the whole
situation involving involving the press, commerce that I went to today,
(16:47):
involving atf and stuff like that. So we'll get into
that when we return. Welcome back to Breaking with Breg
(17:09):
Jensen on this Wednesday night, as they go up until
seven o'clock all right, everyone. So earlier today I was
at a press conference, and the press conference was right
around the corner from here, from these lavish studios at
Hyatt Gun Shop, Hyatt's Gun Shop, right on Wilkinson Boulevard,
(17:29):
and it's right near the I believe, the Walmart if
I'm not mistaken, not too far from there. And you
had atf the US Attorney's Office CMPD, and they're having
a joint press conference also. Oh and the National Sports
Shooting Foundation they're a part of that as well. So
(17:52):
what it was like about a twenty five minute press conference,
I condensed it into about six and a half minutes
or so, just so you could get a sense of
what they're talking about. Calling straw purchases. Isaac can't get
a gun because he's a seventeen time convicted felon, so
he asked me to buy the gun for him. I
buy the gun legally and then give it to Isaac.
(18:15):
Isaac can't have a gun because he's a felon, seventeen
time convicted felon, by the way, and then then I
also go to jail for up to fifteen years for
buying Isaac a gun. So here's how that press conference
went earlier today.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Thank you all for covering this because, as you can see,
we're united on this, not just law enforcement at the
federal and the local level, but the gun shops too,
and we're united with a simple message. If you buy
a gun for someone else, you're breaking the law. That
is a federal crime, and we prosecute it every day.
So here's how it works. You walk into a gun
shop like this one, or a sports store or enery
(18:51):
federally licensed firearms dealer, and you fill out the paperwork
to buy a gun. And when you fill out that
paperwork and you write down that you're buying a gun,
but you're actually buying it for someone else, that's a
straw purchase, and that's a federal crime that can be
life changing, and it's life changing for everyone because the
reason someone is having you buy a gun for them
is because they either are prohibited from owning a gun
(19:13):
or possessing a gun, or they're going to use that
gun for an illicit purpose and they don't want it
traced back to them. So that means that gun is
probably going to be used in a shooting, a carjacking,
a robbery, god forbid, a murder, but it's also life
changing for the person who makes that purchase. Just recently,
my office charged a former Gastonia police officer with straw
purchasing a gun, and she faces fifteen years in prison
(19:36):
or up to fifteen years in prison for that crime.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
So I share that with the reason.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
This is not a prosecution that ends with a slap
on the wrist. It's not like you're coming into a
store and making a small white line of form and
you're going to end up with probation. We send people
to federal prison for doing this, and federal prison is
just a start.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
After that, you have a federal conviction on your record.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
I means you might not be able to volunteer at
your kid's school, you won't be able to own a gun,
you may have trouble of getting a job. The consequences
are serious for doing this. So when you go into
a gun shop and you go to buy a gun,
know that every answer on the form matters.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
If you're legitially buying a gun, no issue.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
But if you're buying a gun for someone else, you're lying.
The paper trail will lead to you, and that is
a federal crime. The ATF has done a great job
c MPD has done a great job at investigating those cases.
We find the folks doing it, and we aggressively prosecute them.
And once we do, we hear every excuse in the book.
I was just doing a favor for my friend that
he needed it for protection. I didn't think it was
(20:35):
a big deal.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
I didn't know it was illegal. We hear it all.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
None of those excuses work, none of them hold up
in court. You will be prosecuted for buying a gun
for someone else. When someone asks you to do that,
I want you to think about what they're asking you
to do. If they're saying, I'll pay you to go
buy a gun for me, ask yourself, what is the
price of your freedom? If they say I'm your friend,
i'm your brother, i'm your uncle, do it for me.
We have this relationship, ask yourself, they want me to
(21:00):
go to jail. Here in the Westernjessica, North Carolina, we
have seen firsthand how straw purchases hurt people. We have
seen these guns used in crimes time and time again.
And that's why we're united with the gun shops, with
the federal LA Enforcement, with a local law enforcement to
attack these straw purchases who are putting guns into the
hands of people who cannot otherwise have a gun. We're
(21:22):
cutting off the supply chain. So I'll leave you with this.
The person you buy a gun for today could be
the reason you lose your freedom tomorrow. Don't lie for
the other guy. I'm not going to turn it over
to CMPD A great partner on Captain Fishback, Good.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Morning, everybody. My name is Steven Fishback.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
I currently serve as your captain over the Special Operations
Division with the Charlotte Macburg Police Department. In the first
half of twenty twenty five, those first two quarters, your
Charlotte Mackburg Police officers seized two thousand firearms. Let me
say that again, in the first half twenty twenty five,
your Charlotte Mackborough Police officers, out there doing proactive work,
(22:08):
productive investigations, seized two thousand firearms off of our streets.
Many of those firearms used in violent crimes across our city.
So straw purchasing is not a victimless crime. I can
tell you it directly contributes to the violent crime taking
place in this city and this community. Doing a favor
(22:33):
what you perceive to be a favor for someone like
this can be a felony where you, the purchaser, ends
up paying the price. Those farms don't just disappear. They
don't go to sit in somebody's gun safe. Somebody's closet
can tell you. Those are the firearms that we end
up seizing out there. Those are the farms we see
(22:55):
being used in violent crime.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
How prevalent is it that you are office?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Are you seeing these cases?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I know you said you're prosecuting them every day, but
how often are they actually being charged and brought up.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
To your office?
Speaker 4 (23:07):
We're yeah, we're constantly charging this crime. And it's not
always a standalone crime. Sometimes there's another crime with it,
but we're constantly charging this crime. If you're using a
straw purchaser to purchase a gun, there's a reason. And
so when we're charging fell in with a handgun, we're
looking at why does that fellon have that handgun? Where
did they get it? And working with the ATF to
find that straw purchaser. When we're seeing violent crime and
(23:29):
gang violence on the streets, we're taking the guns now,
as you and I have talked about, sometimes their ghost
guns or other other things, but often there's straw purchaser guns.
So it's a constant thing we're seeing in the violent
crime we're investigating in our office.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
Ketain fishbeg in terms of can you just walk us
through the process you got because you said you talk
like seized two thousand guns.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You do the background and you find out that the
gun's being held illegally by someone or someone you should
have to walk us through the process. From CNPD, do
you guys contact ATF? Do you go straight to the
US the trains office?
Speaker 5 (23:59):
Can you just walk us through the shut great question
the process for US boots on the ground. You seize
a firearm. When we turn that fire firearm in, we
automatically do a trace form on it to do the
background on that gun, and we collaborate with the ATF
on that and so that will tell us who was
(24:19):
that who all was in that history of firearm purchases
regarding that gun. From there, we have a task force
in place as well as a regular working relationship with
the ATF.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
So if we find.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Something awry with that firearm, we are in collaboration right
off the bat with them information sharing make sure that
that case is handled appropriately with the resources of the
federal government.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
All right, So that's the press conference earlier today at
Hyatt gun Shop over there in over here, I should say,
in Withshawan on Wilkinson Boulevard, and you know, I did ask,
all right, of all the guns that are bought, is
it one out of a hundred, one out of five hundred,
one out of a thousand that are in this straw
(25:06):
type of thing where you're buying them for somebody else?
And they didn't have data on that. But I did
go up and talk to Fishbeck, the CMPD officer, about
the captain about you know, the guns, the two thousand
guns that they seized so far here.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
So I did talked in a little bit about that.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Coming now I can arm again.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Shame no one said God.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Let now.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Welcome back to Breaking with Brett Jensen.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I got some interviews that I'll be conducting tomorrow, so
make sure you stick around.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
For tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Politicians, local politicians, people running for office. That'll be tomorrow night,
and hopefully by the time my show airs at six,
the novacane will have worn off because I gotta go
see the dentist tomorrow. I cracked a tooth, cracked a
(26:32):
molar actually, so I think that they're just going to
put a crown on it. That's my belief. So we'll see.
But hopefully by the time six o'clock rolls around, I
don't have drool sliding down half of my face and
onto the table here, my chest and the table and
(26:55):
everywhere else. Hopefully Isaac won't have to put a bib
around me. That would be Isaac. I agree, Hosk with
you that I like you know, but I don't want
you to have to dap my my face with a
napkin or a Kleenex.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I promise I wouldn't do that, don't worry.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
That kind of hurts my feelings.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I was like, I'm sure it would be ruined, but
I would not be doing that.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Dang, isa Man, it kind of hurts man.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
And I thought we were boys. Man, I thought we were.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Family that much, not that close, bud. But anyway, So,
but that's going on tomorrow, So I've got some interviews
to make sure you stick around for that, because again
I've got some uh got some good stuff coming tomorrow.
Some uh some people running for office here in Mecklamore
County will be on the show tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Okay, So I saw this today.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
And it's from a podcast that I that I watch.
It's respected, and I don't know when this might happen
or if it will happen. He was talking about the possibility.
(28:08):
And the only reason I'm talking about this is because
while this is a national entity, the subject matter, it
will impact everything down to the mayor of Matthews, mint Hill, Cornea.
It goes all the way down from the top all
(28:29):
the way down, and that is supposedly the Supreme Court
is in theory going to take a look at gay marriage.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Rov Wade, as we know, was overturned and it was
given up to each individual state. Each individual state has
different rules and regulations. South Carolina is different than North Carolina.
Alabama is different than New York. We understand that. We
(29:11):
also understand the immediate damage it did to every single
Republican trying to run for office. Immediate damage if gay
marriage is overturned. And by the way, let's not forget
(29:31):
that the Clintons were against gay marriage. Barack Obama as
president was against gay marriage. So I forget all that
California had it on the ballot in the early two
thousands or mid two thousands, they had it on the ballot,
California voted against it, like overwhelmingly voted against it, Like
sixty forty sixty five, thirty five voted against gay marriage.
(29:53):
That was California in the two thousand, in this millennium.
But if gay marriage is somehow overturned and given to states,
you can expect two thousand to happen, or November of
two thousand, you can expect that to happen all.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Over again at the midterms, because.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Right now the Democrats have nothing, nothing, zero, they don't
have a leader, they don't have a platform. They've tripled
down on transgender stuff and everything else and illegal aliens.
That's all they've got. That's all they've got, and Jimmy
Kimmel talking about leaving the country. Good, don't let the
(30:36):
door hit you in the ass. If the Supreme Court
gives it back to each individual state, then you will
see all hell break loose across the globe. You will
see all hell break loose. I mean, when I went
(30:58):
to Europe, they thoughts were illegal in America. It's like no, no, no,
no no. You have to understand, each state has its
own rules, and they could not comprehend that they couldn't
comprehend that North Carolina was different than New York. They
didn't understand the state system, the state set up. If
you will, well, it's a country rule. If it's a rule,
(31:20):
then it should be a rule for the whole country. Well,
that's not how it works here. For better or for worse,
that's not how it works here. And if that happens,
If the Supreme Court here's the gay marriage arguments, and
it is given up to each individual state and not
a federal law, then batten down the hatches. You may
(31:47):
actually end up with an AOC as president in three years,
three and a half years. I am telling you that
will not go well because almost just like with the
abortion thing, only was it only twenty percent of Republicans
(32:07):
thought there should be no abortion. That's only twenty percent.
That's only two out of ten, one out of five.
Everyone else is like, yeah, yeah, you know, okay, there
should be limits, shouldn't be full term. But yeah, and
now if you do this to gay marriage, everything that
(32:31):
