Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!
Breaking Brett Jensen begins the show with a solemn reflection on the upcoming one-year anniversary of Hurricane Halene and the lasting devastation it brought to communities in the North Carolina mountains. He shares a powerful report detailing the loss experienced by families who were directly impacted by the storm, highlighting the emotional weight that still lingers nearly a year later. The story serves as a sobering reminder of how quickly lives can change—and how long recovery truly takes.
Later, Jensen turned his attention to Vice President J.D. Vance’s visit to Concord earlier in the day, where Vance delivered a forceful and impassioned speech on crime and public safety. Speaking to a crowd of political leaders and local residents, the Vice President criticized what he called a national failure of political leadership in addressing rising crime. Vance called for stronger support of law enforcement, harsher penalties for violent offenders, and an end to what he described as leniency driven by political correctness. He highlighted tragic cases, including a recent murder in Charlotte, to underscore the human cost of weak criminal justice policies

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Talk eleven ten and ninety nine three WVT. Prechison here
with you on this Wednesday night edition of Breaking with
Pretjendson having some more technical difficulties like we had all
on Monday nights. So hopefully we'll get these situations figured
out at about fifteen seconds, because Isaac's about to make
fifteen phone calls to a couple of people to get
things situated. All right. So with that being said, we
(01:39):
are going to start tonight with some some stuff talking
about the the anniversary of what's going on with Hurricane Helene,
Hurricane Aleen. It's the anniversary is coming up on Saturday,
if the anniversary is Saturday. So we're going to do
a lot of things. If you remember, I did a
lot of shows and a lot of ours from the
(02:00):
Mountains last year, including that two hour town hall. So
what we're going to do is we're going to talk
about tonight tomorrow, and then I've got a special show
coming up on Friday about Hurricane Helen. Well, what I
want to do now is play a special report just
as we get start itching closer. So I'm going to
play a special report for you that Queen City News
(02:21):
had earlier today about some people involved in Hurricane Helen
and since just sad stories and our people are still
trying to move on. So here's that report from Queen
City News. Okay, so clearly just it is a day
of major, major malfunctions and snaff foods, all right, majors,
So what we're like, it's just of course, of course
(02:44):
it's a Wednesday, and of course everything would happen at
six o'clock. All right, let's try and gain composure. Let's
try and keep everything calm and cool. So Isaac, let
me know when you have the audio pulled up and
ready to go about the special report concerning the Hurricane
Helen situation that took place. And we're also going to
(03:05):
try and figure out what's going on with our system.
So again, a lot of things going on and a
lot of things all flowing a part at once, but
we're going to try and keep things under control here.
So all right, so do you have the audio ready
for the hurricane. Helen.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
This is the first time that I've been able to
stop Mama's forever snapping pictures.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
I did GPS.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
If anyway, there isn't any of that typical Sunday stillness,
there's a good one on this August afternoon in Black Mountain,
North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
You brought you many may essay.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
The fellowship hall at Victory Baptist Church.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Did you see some of the pope pictures of when
you was little.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
It's full of pictures and people.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
That's one of my favorite pictures.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
In the end, grass and weeds now cover this hillside
in Swanna.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Noah took trees, and I'll straight down the mountain.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
To most it looks like nothing was ever here.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
That little trickle of water coming off that rock was
over four feet deep and about fifteen feet wide.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
But all Bruce Dockery can see is what once stood here,
who once lived here.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
It takes a second to realize something's not right. I'll
dream that I have to explain to Mama that Daddy's gone,
or I have to explain to Daddy that Mama's gone.
Then it clicks in the dream, well you're both gone.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
They moved the boulder that hit his parents' house on
September twenty seventh, twenty twenty four. His mom, Judy was
found buried a few blocks away.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Right where that v is. That's where they found daddy.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
His dad, James, passed away the moment after he learned
Judy didn't make it.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
He was holding on for her. He was hoping to
find her. Back broke, but he was still trying to
get to her.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
The two were just about to celebrate their wedding anniversary.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
For forty four years.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
For the first time in about a year, Bruce can't
stop the tears. He's held off crying.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
I miss him. Usually I think about something else, or
I just try to go logic, but.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
I miss him every day. He thought about mom and dad,
but there's always been too much to do, too much loss.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I've put the memorial off because so many people were
having decide Christmas presents or shingles on the roof or
wearing my staying. Tonight, we're going to say grace over
the food and just pray over this memorial. We thank
you Lord that we had such good people. Lord.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Crowded counter, this is.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
What mom and Daddy would have been about. There was
always know he's about feeding people and hugging people in.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
The busy room. It's exactly what James and Judy would
have wanted.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
She would be right back there.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
It's not hurt from Halleen, but a lifetime of love
that's bringing people together.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Now it seems like the waters have settled and people
were able to grieve for the.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
First time after all these months, we can finally stop.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
All right. So again, we're still working through major technical
difficulties here, so our apologies, but nonetheless you were able
to hear that report, and that report was absolutely fantastic,
extremely well done. And I'm going to be in the
mountains on Friday, and I've got a special interview lined
up for tomorrow afternoon that you're going to bond at
the APPS to listen, because I'm burned into the one
(07:31):
year anniversary of Hurricane Leen, and you guys know that
I did a lot of work last year up in
those mountains. So we're just going to take a look
back and see how things are now one year, one
year later, almost to the day. Let's get into some
other stuff concerning some politics and safety, and Vice President
Jadvance was in town today, so we'll take a look
at that. We'll come back to breaking with Brett Jensen
(08:01):
as we still continue to have multiple technical difficulties. So
I'm just going to say this out loud and take
everyone behind the curtain. Whynie, since you're running the board
and being the producer, have the audio for this particular
segment too ready to go. So it'll be a couple
of minutes, like a two minute piece of audios and
get that piece of audio ready to go. Okay. So
(08:23):
on Monday, you know, we talked about a little bit
about how the Arena Crime Bill was getting out there
and it was going to it was being introduced up
and Raleigh right and holding many people accountable, and you
heard Mark Garrison talk about it a lot in the
morning parts as well. Well. Then yesterday they had the
official vote and there were some amendments. As every bill,
(08:46):
there are amendments to the bill. So people want to
add things here, want to add things there. And so
I want you now to hear what happened with Senate
forty district Senate forty two, she's a senator. What'son Bradley
represents District forty two, Matthews, Minhill, Charlotte and I want
(09:10):
you to hear what she had to say. She put
out a two minute video and I want you to
hear what she had to say, and then we're going
to discuss why a thousand percent of this is disingenuous.
So go ahead, Lennie, and hit the audio.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Yesterday, I went back to Raleigh. I was excited to
vote for a crime bill with overwhelming bipartisan support. And
I saw my colleague, Senator Mohammed work for weeks across
the aisle for all of us to help create a
sound and worthy crime bill after the horrific tragedy taking
Arena's life, and he met with her family and he
shared their unimaginable grief on the Senate floor, and he
(09:46):
brought an amendment that would prohibit using violent crime victims
images in political ads out of respect for their families,
reliving that moment over and over for someone else's political game.
That's what Arena's family wanted, this amendment. It was brilliant,
and before we could vote on it, the Senate Majority
leader offered a substitute amendment, which means the victim's image
(10:07):
amendment is completely erased and replaced. The substitute amendment was
to lift the moratorium on North Carolina's death penalty to
speed up the process of executions, and then offer alternatives
like hanging the electric chair or bringing back the firing squad. Now,
these were bounced around like a ball and almost joked
about by right wing senators. One of them even said,
(10:28):
sign me up, I'll pull the trigger. The Republicans voted
to accept this by a majority party line vote, and
I saw smirks and chuckling texting back and forth. That's
not the North Carolina I ever want to see again.
I will always work across the aisle. I won't stop trying,
but it's crystal clear that they will not. The right
flank didn't want our support because they want this for
(10:51):
themselves rather than public safety for the people. They have
politicized Adina's death for their gain and not to bring
a real solution for safe now. I promised I would
always center her in the center finding a solution, and
the right side made it crystal clear she's a token
in their twisted game. I'm more determined than ever to
share what actually happens in the General Assembly so that
(11:13):
we can elect real people to represent all of North
Carolina's real people and stop bringing extreme legislation just for
right wing political donors.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Okay, sorry about that. So that's what's in Bradley. She's
running for North Connins or she's in. She was newly elected,
took office in January, North ConA Senate District forty two.
Now I want you to know some secrets about Whatson
Bradley that she doesn't want a soul on this planet
to know. And here's why she's exceedingly disingenuous, right, like
(11:51):
just making all these outlandish statements about things. Right, Well,
there's a problem Withson. You know what's this talking about
safety and crime bills and all that. Woodson? Tell everyone
how you voted for the making sheriffs cooperate with ice. Now,
these are criminals, people who already have the sheriffs who
(12:13):
already have these people in custody. These are criminals, or
otherwise they would be in custody of the sheriffs in jail. Correct, correct,
Tell everyone how you're a husband has been in law
enforcement and were sheriff's departments for like about thirty years.
Tell everyone about that, Woodson. But yet you voted. First
of all, you failed to vote. You took a walk
because you didn't want to vote to make sheriffs have
(12:35):
to cooperate with ICE, and you were scared to vote,
so you took a walk. But then when it came
time to override Josh Stein's veto, you voted against it,
which means you do not want sheriffs who have to
cooperate with ICE. So there's that whatst disingenuous. You also
took a walk when it came time for telling what
(12:55):
and defining what a woman is and preventing inmates who
wanted to be transgender using state funds. The Republicans tried
to prevent that from happening. Josh Stein vetoed it. You
did not vote for the veto overright, therefore supporting inmates
getting transgender care, therefore not wanting to define what a
woman is, even though I assume you are one. And
(13:19):
now this one coming up with a vote on this one,
you act all indignant like you were just morally offended.
Morally offended, and guess what, you walked out and refused
to vote against it. But now you come out and
you're trashing it. Well, and it says, well, excuse absence.
(13:39):
It's funny how all your excused absences are when the
most controversial bills come up. Why I wonder why that is?
You didn't vote the first time about making sriffs cooperate
with ice. You didn't vote the first time while preventing
state funds to going for inmates for transgender care and
defining what a woman is. You took a walk on that,
(14:01):
and now you took you literally stood up and walked out.
When it came time to vote against the death penalty
portion of this. You didn't want to vote against it.
But now you're going to put out a two and
a half minute video or a two minute video on
this about how how bad the Republicans are. But yet
you haven't shown the backbone to actually stand up for
what you believe in. What is that? What is that?
(14:22):
Show up backbone? Woodson? People? People elected you just because
your district may want the death penalty and may want
to know what a woman is and may watch shriff
squad river with Ice, and because your party doesn't what
you do. You take a walk, and that's what you
did yesterday. You took a walk, and then you put
out a video declaring what the Republicans are doing are awful. Really,
(14:44):
look in the mirror of Woodson. You said you're not
the crazy left. That's so that's the campaign you ran on.
I'm not the crazy leftist. I'm not the crazy Democrat.
I'm the normal Democrat. Okay, you're acting very normal, that's
for sure when it comes to being a Democrat. Are
these technical difficulty switched?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Well?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Good, mall figured out. But we he's being in town
early today, so we'll talk about that.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
News Tack eleven ten and ninety nine three WBT Bret
Jenson here with you on this wild Wednesday night filled
with nothing but technical difficulties, and I think we've got
them all figured out. So sorry for everything earlier tonight
when I had to do things via telephone because we
were having major issues, and again my apologies for that.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
All right, So Vice President JD.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
Vance was in Concord earlier today, and you know, Michael
Wantley was there, and Berger was there, I believe, and
Ted Budd was there and Dustin Hall. They were all there.
All the political dignitaries were there. All of them gave
little speeches. But then Jdvans, the Vice President, spoke, and
he spoke a little bit about crime, actually about twenty
minutes about crime, and it was so good that I
(15:55):
wanted you to be able to hear almost all of it.
So we're going to do this in two segments, which
I rare rarely do. So here's the first part of
JD vance earlier today in Concord talking about crime, and.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I think for too long in this country we actually
took the exact wrong approach. We tell people that if
you were walking down to city Street and there was
a crazy person over there yelling and screaming at your kids,
you ought to walk to the other side of the
street rather than possibly be accosted by a violent person.
You know what I think. I think that if a
person is being violent and threatening to young children and
(16:28):
young families, they how to send their assets to prison
instead of telling people that they got to cross the
other side of the street.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
And Ted is gonna be mad at me. Ted is
a good Christian man. He does not cuss, So Ted
forgive me. But I get a little fired up sometimes
when I'm talking about this. Look, why do we live
like this? Why do we accept this in our communities?
And the answer is because of bad political leadership. We've
accepted for too long this idea that we ought to
give over our streets of criminals and to vagrants and
(17:01):
to people who are screaming at us instead of taking
back our streets with our incredible law enforcement. And there
are so many things that we can do. You know,
in Washington, d C. The first two months that we
surged the National Guard, the President Trump surged the National
(17:22):
Guard into Washington, d C. There were no murders, not
a single murder for two weeks in the streets of Washington,
d C. And you know it's we have all these
world leaders who come and we'll tell them, you know,
we haven't had a murder in Washington, d C. In
two weeks, and these world leaders will look at us
and say, is that supposed to impress us? Like that
doesn't sound very good. But you know, to Washington, d C,
(17:44):
which averaged last year a violent murder every other day,
two weeks without a murder was a hell of a
track record. And then we just surged the National Guard
to Memphis, Tennessee, again, a Democrat city, a Democrat city
in a red state, where the mayor said, we are
sick of our people being afraid to walk safely on
(18:05):
the streets, so why don't you help us and that's
our basic attitude in the Trump administration is, Look, we
should not allow people to take over We should not
allow these violent criminals to take over city streets. And
if the local government wants our help, if the local
authorities want our help, then we are going to help
them because we stand for American safety everywhere, whether it's
(18:26):
a big city or a small one. So this is
what it means. Being pro law and order is actually
not that difficult. There are some things we do, some
issues we address that are so complicated and so challenging,
but supporting our local law enforcement is actually pretty easy.
It's just a question of political will power. Here's thing
(18:49):
number one, very simple. If our great police officers find
a violent criminal and lock them up, we ought to
keep them locked up and set of letting them back
on our street with a slap on her wrist. That
means we want to give our police officers the very
best equipment and the very best protection anywhere in the world.
(19:13):
We want you guys to have the very best, and
we're going to fight every single day to make sure
that they have it. It means punishing state and local
jurisdictions that restrict your ability to do police work. They
just want to do their jobs. They ought to be
allowed to do it, and it means pursuing enhanced sentences
(19:34):
for violent criminals, like the violent criminal who murdered that
poor innocent girl in Charlotte, North Carolina, just a couple
of months ago. She came from a beautiful family, she
had a young boyfriend, she had her entire life ahead
of her, and she was actually a refugee from Ukraine,
so she came from a war torn country. She sought
(19:55):
shelter in the United States of America, and because of
on crime policies, she was murdered here, not in the
war torn country she came from. Isn't that a disgrace?
And isn't that an insult to the incredible law enforcement
officers who arrested this person fourteen times. They did everything
that they could to keep this thug off the streets,
(20:17):
and it was the political leadership that failed. And we
got to be honest about that. I saw Governor, former
Governor Cooper say, and this is Michael Wattley's opponent. Former
Governor Cooper said just a couple of days after the attack,
that we have got to do more when it comes
to law enforcement to keep people like this off the streets.
And my response was, Governor, he was arrested fourteen times.
(20:40):
Law enforcement did their job. It's time for you to
do your job. And it's so amazing to me. Political democrats,
I don't think it's all democrats. I actually think most
Democrats want what most Republicans want, which is safety and
(21:02):
their communities. But they always managed to turn issues of
crime into a distraction about race. They always try to
say that law enforcement blacking violent criminals up is inherently racist,
and I gotta be honest with you, that's an insult
to white people. It's an insult to black people too,
because all of us just want to live safely in
our communities. It doesn't make announce of sense to me.
(21:25):
This is not a black white issue. Is we've got
a small percentage of violent criminals in our communities. Democrats
want to let him out of prison, and Republicans want
to put him in prison and keep them there so
that all of us are safe in the process. I
think that's common sense, don't you. So I also got
(21:48):
to talk a little bit about another law and order problem.
I said Charlie Kirk's assassination was the most political and
disgusting violence that we've had in this country in the
last couple of weeks, and that was It's true maybe
until this morning, because I don't know if you all
have followed the news, and we're still learning a little
bit about it. But what we know is that in Dallas, Texas,
(22:09):
and ICE facility and Immigrations and Customs enforcement facility was
opened fire upon by a violent left wing extremist, a
person who wrote anti ICE messaging on their bullets. And
there's some evidence that we have that's not yet public,
but we know this person was politically motivated. They were
politically motivated to go after law enforcement. They were politically
(22:31):
motivated to go after people who are enforcing our border.
And I think that is the most disgusting thing. The
very people who keep us safe ought to be honored
and protected and praised by Democrats and Republicans alike. It
is time to stop the rhetorical assault on law enforcement
because here's what happens. Because here's what happens when Democrats
(22:59):
like Gavin Newsom did say that these people are part
of an authoritarian government, when the left wing media lies
about what they're doing, when they lie about who they're
arresting when they lie about the actual job of law enforcement.
What they're doing is encouraging crazy people to go and
commit violence. You don't have to agree with my immigration policies,
(23:20):
you don't have to agree with Donald Trump's immigration policies.
But if your political rhetoric encourages violence against our law enforcement,
you can go straight to hell. And you have no
place in the political conversation of the United States of America.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
Okay, when we return, you're going to hear part two
of jd Vance's speech in Concord earlier today. I really
do two segments of the same person speaking like this,
but this was so big and so good that I
wanted you to hear all of it, or as much
as you possibly could, So all of that when we return.
(24:12):
Welcome back to Breaking with Brad Jensen on this What
is it?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Wednesday night?
Speaker 7 (24:16):
Wednesday night?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
I always good?
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Today's confused?
Speaker 3 (24:18):
All right?
Speaker 7 (24:19):
Like I said, I rarely play two parts of a
person giving his speech.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
But this is the Vice President jd Vance.
Speaker 7 (24:25):
He was in Concord today and he's talking a lot
about crime and crime and crime and crime. And it
was so good that I wanted you to be able
to hear as much of it as you possibly could.
So here's the continuation of Vice President jd Vance speaking
about crime earlier today in Concord.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Just yesterday, NBC News maybe the worst of all the
fake news. And I'm sure we have an NBC reporter
out there. It's a tough competition, my friends, to be clear,
but maybe the worst. I said, maybe the worst is
NBC News. And they said that immigration enforced. But you
know what, they said that immigrants enforcement had detained a
five year old autistic girl in order to get to
(25:06):
that girl's father. Turned out that story was a complete fabrication.
It was a complete dishonest lie. But when you go
around and lie about our law enforcement and you tell
them that they're mistreating five year old girls, what do
you think is going to happen? When Democratic politicians incur doxing,
when they encourage us to unmask ice enforcement officers. What
(25:28):
do you think is going to happen? When the mayor
of Los Angeles encourages violent protesters to get in the
face of our law enforcement. What do you think is
going to happen. What's going to happen is political violence,
and political violence has gotten out of control in this country.
We got to stop it. We got to condemn it,
and that starts, unfortunately, at the very top of the
Democratic Party. If you want to stop political violence, stop
(25:52):
attacking our law enforcement as the Gestapo. If you want
to stop political violence, stop telling your supporters that everybody
who disagrees with you is a Nazi. If you want
to stop political violence, look in the mirror. That's the
way that we stop political violence in this Scot's rape.
And we've got to do it. And while we're all
(26:19):
mourning and rooting for and praying for everybody who has
injured at that ICE facility, and as far as we know,
it looks like some of the detainees, in other words,
some of the potential illegal aliens were some of those
who are affected. Look, just because we don't support illegal aliens,
we don't want them to be executed by violent assassins,
engaged in political violence or either. So we're praying both
(26:42):
for our ICE agents but also for everybody who's affected
by this terrible tack. But that was an ice facility,
and as these guys behind me know, and a few
of our police officers know, police officers writ large face
too many threats of violence all across the United States
of America. Know where it started. We all remember the
(27:02):
summer of twenty twenty when all of these violent protesters
were encouraged to treat police as the enemy instead of
as the solution. You'd take a thousand police officers, you'd
find one person who didn't do something perfect and use
that one guy to tarnish the other nine hundred and
ninety nine police officers. Well, I would like everybody, whether
(27:23):
a Democrat, a Republican, or an independent, especially those in
political leadership. Can we all just agree that our police
officers are heroes, that they are public servants, and that
the first and most important step of keeping all of
us safe is to keep our police officers safe because
they are the thin blue line between civilization and chaos.
(27:47):
Thank you all. It just happens too much, our police
officers being assaulted, our police officers being attacked. You have
these crazy attacks where you have a cop and a
squad car who's enjoying their lunch break and somebody comes
up and summarily executes them before the cop even had
(28:07):
a chance. It happens way too much, and it happens
because too many of our political leaders have encouraged it now,
and it's not just that, it's not just the rhetoric
that encourages violence against our law enforcement. You know, when
I was in the Senate, there was a big bill
that was going around, and it was basically that we
were going to try to eliminate qualified immunity from police officers,
(28:30):
one of the most disgraceful and worst ideas that I've
ever seen. In other words, that we were going to
make it easy for criminals to sue police officers for
doing their job. Now, does anybody think when you see
the fake news media and the way they attack our
police officers, does anybody think that we need to make
it harder for our police to do their job. Some
(28:50):
of America cities today, some of America cities today have
worse murder rates than the very worst third world cities
all over the world. That's not a joke. You go
to poor to Prince Haiti, or you go to some
of the poorest countries all over the world. Even those
countries have a better murder rate than Washington, d c.
(29:10):
Or some of the major American cities. Some of them
have better murder rates than Charlotte, North Carolina, that's a disgrace.
All of us should be asking how do we make
that better? How do we make people safer in their communities?
How do we make it easier for a young family
to walk down the street and security and comfort. But unfortunately,
we've got a crew of violent radicals in the United
(29:31):
States of America who think we ought to make it
harder for police to keep us safe than easier for
police to keep us safe. So here's one thing I'd
like to do. I'd like every single Democrat starting today,
and every Republican too while we're at it, to say
that we are going to defeat these efforts to strip
immunity from our police officers. We're going to make it
easier for them to do their job, not harder for
(29:54):
them to do their job. Let's fight for it every
single day. Let me just leave you with one final
thought here. Look, I was asked earlier today by a reporter,
a reporter I actually like, but a reporter who said, well,
don't both sides have crazy people? And of course, obviously
three hundred and thirty million people, of course both sides
(30:16):
have crazy people. But if you look at the political
violence in our country over the last couple of months
the last couple of years. It is not a both
sides problem. It is primarily on one side of the
political aisle. So if we are going to truly go
after the political violence in this country, we need the
Democratic leadership of Washington, d C. To look in the mirror.
(30:40):
We need them to renounce all political violence. When a
poor kid like Charlie Kirk is gunned down in cold blood,
we need them to start with condemning the violence instead
of condemning something that Charlie Kirk said that they disagreed with.
When you have when you have an entire network of
left wing organizations that encourage, that promote, and that apologize
(31:05):
for violence, you know what you're gonna get out of it.
You're gonna get political violence. So here's my sacred obligation
to you, to all the law enforcement, but every person,
whether they wear a uniform or not. Over the next
couple of years, the Trump administration is gonna do everything
that we can to dismantle the networks, to destroy the funding,
and to make it harder for people to kill one
(31:27):
another just because they disagree with what somebody says. That
is what we're gonna do. We're gonna fight for it.
Speaker 7 (31:34):
All right, everyone that's gonna do it for us tonight Again,
thanks for everyone who listened to the show tonight. And
I've got some big stuff lined up for tomorrow, so
hopefully you guys will be able to join, and some
big stuff lined up for Friday as well, so make
sure you stick around for that all right, everyone, have
a great night. I'll see you guys tomorrow. My name
is Brett Jensen, and you have been listening to Breaking
(31:54):
with Brett Jensen
I Oh, let's go, I oh, let's go oh.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Oh, let's go the bully and say nuts, you're going
through a time mutch. You go into that bunch. Let's
think buck, let's go oh, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Talk eleven ten and ninety nine three WVT. Prechison here
with you on this Wednesday night edition of Breaking with
Pretjendson having some more technical difficulties like we had all
on Monday nights. So hopefully we'll get these situations figured
out at about fifteen seconds, because Isaac's about to make
fifteen phone calls to a couple of people to get
things situated. All right. So with that being said, we
(01:39):
are going to start tonight with some some stuff talking
about the the anniversary of what's going on with Hurricane Helene,
Hurricane Aleen. It's the anniversary is coming up on Saturday,
if the anniversary is Saturday. So we're going to do
a lot of things. If you remember, I did a
lot of shows and a lot of ours from the
(02:00):
Mountains last year, including that two hour town hall. So
what we're going to do is we're going to talk
about tonight tomorrow, and then I've got a special show
coming up on Friday about Hurricane Helen. Well, what I
want to do now is play a special report just
as we get start itching closer. So I'm going to
play a special report for you that Queen City News
(02:21):
had earlier today about some people involved in Hurricane Helen
and since just sad stories and our people are still
trying to move on. So here's that report from Queen
City News. Okay, so clearly just it is a day
of major, major malfunctions and snaff foods, all right, majors,
So what we're like, it's just of course, of course
(02:44):
it's a Wednesday, and of course everything would happen at
six o'clock. All right, let's try and gain composure. Let's
try and keep everything calm and cool. So Isaac, let
me know when you have the audio pulled up and
ready to go about the special report concerning the Hurricane
Helen situation that took place. And we're also going to
(03:05):
try and figure out what's going on with our system.
So again, a lot of things going on and a
lot of things all flowing a part at once, but
we're going to try and keep things under control here.
So all right, so do you have the audio ready
for the hurricane. Helen.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
This is the first time that I've been able to
stop Mama's forever snapping pictures.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
I did GPS.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
If anyway, there isn't any of that typical Sunday stillness,
there's a good one on this August afternoon in Black Mountain,
North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
You brought you many may essay.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
The fellowship hall at Victory Baptist Church.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Did you see some of the pope pictures of when
you was little.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
It's full of pictures and people.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
That's one of my favorite pictures.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
In the end, grass and weeds now cover this hillside
in Swanna.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Noah took trees, and I'll straight down the mountain.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
To most it looks like nothing was ever here.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
That little trickle of water coming off that rock was
over four feet deep and about fifteen feet wide.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
But all Bruce Dockery can see is what once stood here,
who once lived here.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
It takes a second to realize something's not right. I'll
dream that I have to explain to Mama that Daddy's gone,
or I have to explain to Daddy that Mama's gone.
Then it clicks in the dream, well you're both gone.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
They moved the boulder that hit his parents' house on
September twenty seventh, twenty twenty four. His mom, Judy was
found buried a few blocks away.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Right where that v is. That's where they found daddy.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
His dad, James, passed away the moment after he learned
Judy didn't make it.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
He was holding on for her. He was hoping to
find her. Back broke, but he was still trying to
get to her.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
The two were just about to celebrate their wedding anniversary.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
For forty four years.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
For the first time in about a year, Bruce can't
stop the tears. He's held off crying.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
I miss him. Usually I think about something else, or
I just try to go logic, but.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
I miss him every day. He thought about mom and dad,
but there's always been too much to do, too much loss.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I've put the memorial off because so many people were
having decide Christmas presents or shingles on the roof or
wearing my staying. Tonight, we're going to say grace over
the food and just pray over this memorial. We thank
you Lord that we had such good people. Lord.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Crowded counter, this is.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
What mom and Daddy would have been about. There was
always know he's about feeding people and hugging people in.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
The busy room. It's exactly what James and Judy would
have wanted.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
She would be right back there.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
It's not hurt from Halleen, but a lifetime of love
that's bringing people together.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Now it seems like the waters have settled and people
were able to grieve for the.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
First time after all these months, we can finally stop.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
All right. So again, we're still working through major technical
difficulties here, so our apologies, but nonetheless you were able
to hear that report, and that report was absolutely fantastic,
extremely well done. And I'm going to be in the
mountains on Friday, and I've got a special interview lined
up for tomorrow afternoon that you're going to bond at
the APPS to listen, because I'm burned into the one
(07:31):
year anniversary of Hurricane Leen, and you guys know that
I did a lot of work last year up in
those mountains. So we're just going to take a look
back and see how things are now one year, one
year later, almost to the day. Let's get into some
other stuff concerning some politics and safety, and Vice President
Jadvance was in town today, so we'll take a look
at that. We'll come back to breaking with Brett Jensen
(08:01):
as we still continue to have multiple technical difficulties. So
I'm just going to say this out loud and take
everyone behind the curtain. Whynie, since you're running the board
and being the producer, have the audio for this particular
segment too ready to go. So it'll be a couple
of minutes, like a two minute piece of audios and
get that piece of audio ready to go. Okay. So
(08:23):
on Monday, you know, we talked about a little bit
about how the Arena Crime Bill was getting out there
and it was going to it was being introduced up
and Raleigh right and holding many people accountable, and you
heard Mark Garrison talk about it a lot in the
morning parts as well. Well. Then yesterday they had the
official vote and there were some amendments. As every bill,
(08:46):
there are amendments to the bill. So people want to
add things here, want to add things there. And so
I want you now to hear what happened with Senate
forty district Senate forty two, she's a senator. What'son Bradley
represents District forty two, Matthews, Minhill, Charlotte and I want
(09:10):
you to hear what she had to say. She put
out a two minute video and I want you to
hear what she had to say, and then we're going
to discuss why a thousand percent of this is disingenuous.
So go ahead, Lennie, and hit the audio.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Yesterday, I went back to Raleigh. I was excited to
vote for a crime bill with overwhelming bipartisan support. And
I saw my colleague, Senator Mohammed work for weeks across
the aisle for all of us to help create a
sound and worthy crime bill after the horrific tragedy taking
Arena's life, and he met with her family and he
shared their unimaginable grief on the Senate floor, and he
(09:46):
brought an amendment that would prohibit using violent crime victims
images in political ads out of respect for their families,
reliving that moment over and over for someone else's political game.
That's what Arena's family wanted, this amendment. It was brilliant,
and before we could vote on it, the Senate Majority
leader offered a substitute amendment, which means the victim's image
(10:07):
amendment is completely erased and replaced. The substitute amendment was
to lift the moratorium on North Carolina's death penalty to
speed up the process of executions, and then offer alternatives
like hanging the electric chair or bringing back the firing squad. Now,
these were bounced around like a ball and almost joked
about by right wing senators. One of them even said,
(10:28):
sign me up, I'll pull the trigger. The Republicans voted
to accept this by a majority party line vote, and
I saw smirks and chuckling texting back and forth. That's
not the North Carolina I ever want to see again.
I will always work across the aisle. I won't stop trying,
but it's crystal clear that they will not. The right
flank didn't want our support because they want this for
(10:51):
themselves rather than public safety for the people. They have
politicized Adina's death for their gain and not to bring
a real solution for safe now. I promised I would
always center her in the center finding a solution, and
the right side made it crystal clear she's a token
in their twisted game. I'm more determined than ever to
share what actually happens in the General Assembly so that
(11:13):
we can elect real people to represent all of North
Carolina's real people and stop bringing extreme legislation just for
right wing political donors.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Okay, sorry about that. So that's what's in Bradley. She's
running for North Connins or she's in. She was newly elected,
took office in January, North ConA Senate District forty two.
Now I want you to know some secrets about Whatson
Bradley that she doesn't want a soul on this planet
to know. And here's why she's exceedingly disingenuous, right, like
(11:51):
just making all these outlandish statements about things. Right, Well,
there's a problem Withson. You know what's this talking about
safety and crime bills and all that. Woodson? Tell everyone
how you voted for the making sheriffs cooperate with ice. Now,
these are criminals, people who already have the sheriffs who
(12:13):
already have these people in custody. These are criminals, or
otherwise they would be in custody of the sheriffs in jail. Correct, correct,
Tell everyone how you're a husband has been in law
enforcement and were sheriff's departments for like about thirty years.
Tell everyone about that, Woodson. But yet you voted. First
of all, you failed to vote. You took a walk
because you didn't want to vote to make sheriffs have
(12:35):
to cooperate with ICE, and you were scared to vote,
so you took a walk. But then when it came
time to override Josh Stein's veto, you voted against it,
which means you do not want sheriffs who have to
cooperate with ICE. So there's that whatst disingenuous. You also
took a walk when it came time for telling what
(12:55):
and defining what a woman is and preventing inmates who
wanted to be transgender using state funds. The Republicans tried
to prevent that from happening. Josh Stein vetoed it. You
did not vote for the veto overright, therefore supporting inmates
getting transgender care, therefore not wanting to define what a
woman is, even though I assume you are one. And
(13:19):
now this one coming up with a vote on this one,
you act all indignant like you were just morally offended.
Morally offended, and guess what, you walked out and refused
to vote against it. But now you come out and
you're trashing it. Well, and it says, well, excuse absence.
(13:39):
It's funny how all your excused absences are when the
most controversial bills come up. Why I wonder why that is?
You didn't vote the first time about making sriffs cooperate
with ice. You didn't vote the first time while preventing
state funds to going for inmates for transgender care and
defining what a woman is. You took a walk on that,
(14:01):
and now you took you literally stood up and walked out.
When it came time to vote against the death penalty
portion of this. You didn't want to vote against it.
But now you're going to put out a two and
a half minute video or a two minute video on
this about how how bad the Republicans are. But yet
you haven't shown the backbone to actually stand up for
what you believe in. What is that? What is that?
(14:22):
Show up backbone? Woodson? People? People elected you just because
your district may want the death penalty and may want
to know what a woman is and may watch shriff
squad river with Ice, and because your party doesn't what
you do. You take a walk, and that's what you
did yesterday. You took a walk, and then you put
out a video declaring what the Republicans are doing are awful. Really,
(14:44):
look in the mirror of Woodson. You said you're not
the crazy left. That's so that's the campaign you ran on.
I'm not the crazy leftist. I'm not the crazy Democrat.
I'm the normal Democrat. Okay, you're acting very normal, that's
for sure when it comes to being a Democrat. Are
these technical difficulty switched?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Well?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Good, mall figured out. But we he's being in town
early today, so we'll talk about that.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
News Tack eleven ten and ninety nine three WBT Bret
Jenson here with you on this wild Wednesday night filled
with nothing but technical difficulties, and I think we've got
them all figured out. So sorry for everything earlier tonight
when I had to do things via telephone because we
were having major issues, and again my apologies for that.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
All right, So Vice President JD.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
Vance was in Concord earlier today, and you know, Michael
Wantley was there, and Berger was there, I believe, and
Ted Budd was there and Dustin Hall. They were all there.
All the political dignitaries were there. All of them gave
little speeches. But then Jdvans, the Vice President, spoke, and
he spoke a little bit about crime, actually about twenty
minutes about crime, and it was so good that I
(15:55):
wanted you to be able to hear almost all of it.
So we're going to do this in two segments, which
I rare rarely do. So here's the first part of
JD vance earlier today in Concord talking about crime, and.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I think for too long in this country we actually
took the exact wrong approach. We tell people that if
you were walking down to city Street and there was
a crazy person over there yelling and screaming at your kids,
you ought to walk to the other side of the
street rather than possibly be accosted by a violent person.
You know what I think. I think that if a
person is being violent and threatening to young children and
(16:28):
young families, they how to send their assets to prison
instead of telling people that they got to cross the
other side of the street.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
And Ted is gonna be mad at me. Ted is
a good Christian man. He does not cuss, So Ted
forgive me. But I get a little fired up sometimes
when I'm talking about this. Look, why do we live
like this? Why do we accept this in our communities?
And the answer is because of bad political leadership. We've
accepted for too long this idea that we ought to
give over our streets of criminals and to vagrants and
(17:01):
to people who are screaming at us instead of taking
back our streets with our incredible law enforcement. And there
are so many things that we can do. You know,
in Washington, d C. The first two months that we
surged the National Guard, the President Trump surged the National
(17:22):
Guard into Washington, d C. There were no murders, not
a single murder for two weeks in the streets of Washington,
d C. And you know it's we have all these
world leaders who come and we'll tell them, you know,
we haven't had a murder in Washington, d C. In
two weeks, and these world leaders will look at us
and say, is that supposed to impress us? Like that
doesn't sound very good. But you know, to Washington, d C,
(17:44):
which averaged last year a violent murder every other day,
two weeks without a murder was a hell of a
track record. And then we just surged the National Guard
to Memphis, Tennessee, again, a Democrat city, a Democrat city
in a red state, where the mayor said, we are
sick of our people being afraid to walk safely on
(18:05):
the streets, so why don't you help us and that's
our basic attitude in the Trump administration is, Look, we
should not allow people to take over We should not
allow these violent criminals to take over city streets. And
if the local government wants our help, if the local
authorities want our help, then we are going to help
them because we stand for American safety everywhere, whether it's
(18:26):
a big city or a small one. So this is
what it means. Being pro law and order is actually
not that difficult. There are some things we do, some
issues we address that are so complicated and so challenging,
but supporting our local law enforcement is actually pretty easy.
It's just a question of political will power. Here's thing
(18:49):
number one, very simple. If our great police officers find
a violent criminal and lock them up, we ought to
keep them locked up and set of letting them back
on our street with a slap on her wrist. That
means we want to give our police officers the very
best equipment and the very best protection anywhere in the world.
(19:13):
We want you guys to have the very best, and
we're going to fight every single day to make sure
that they have it. It means punishing state and local
jurisdictions that restrict your ability to do police work. They
just want to do their jobs. They ought to be
allowed to do it, and it means pursuing enhanced sentences
(19:34):
for violent criminals, like the violent criminal who murdered that
poor innocent girl in Charlotte, North Carolina, just a couple
of months ago. She came from a beautiful family, she
had a young boyfriend, she had her entire life ahead
of her, and she was actually a refugee from Ukraine,
so she came from a war torn country. She sought
(19:55):
shelter in the United States of America, and because of
on crime policies, she was murdered here, not in the
war torn country she came from. Isn't that a disgrace?
And isn't that an insult to the incredible law enforcement
officers who arrested this person fourteen times. They did everything
that they could to keep this thug off the streets,
(20:17):
and it was the political leadership that failed. And we
got to be honest about that. I saw Governor, former
Governor Cooper say, and this is Michael Wattley's opponent. Former
Governor Cooper said just a couple of days after the attack,
that we have got to do more when it comes
to law enforcement to keep people like this off the streets.
And my response was, Governor, he was arrested fourteen times.
(20:40):
Law enforcement did their job. It's time for you to
do your job. And it's so amazing to me. Political democrats,
I don't think it's all democrats. I actually think most
Democrats want what most Republicans want, which is safety and
(21:02):
their communities. But they always managed to turn issues of
crime into a distraction about race. They always try to
say that law enforcement blacking violent criminals up is inherently racist,
and I gotta be honest with you, that's an insult
to white people. It's an insult to black people too,
because all of us just want to live safely in
our communities. It doesn't make announce of sense to me.
(21:25):
This is not a black white issue. Is we've got
a small percentage of violent criminals in our communities. Democrats
want to let him out of prison, and Republicans want
to put him in prison and keep them there so
that all of us are safe in the process. I
think that's common sense, don't you. So I also got
(21:48):
to talk a little bit about another law and order problem.
I said Charlie Kirk's assassination was the most political and
disgusting violence that we've had in this country in the
last couple of weeks, and that was It's true maybe
until this morning, because I don't know if you all
have followed the news, and we're still learning a little
bit about it. But what we know is that in Dallas, Texas,
(22:09):
and ICE facility and Immigrations and Customs enforcement facility was
opened fire upon by a violent left wing extremist, a
person who wrote anti ICE messaging on their bullets. And
there's some evidence that we have that's not yet public,
but we know this person was politically motivated. They were
politically motivated to go after law enforcement. They were politically
(22:31):
motivated to go after people who are enforcing our border.
And I think that is the most disgusting thing. The
very people who keep us safe ought to be honored
and protected and praised by Democrats and Republicans alike. It
is time to stop the rhetorical assault on law enforcement
because here's what happens. Because here's what happens when Democrats
(22:59):
like Gavin Newsom did say that these people are part
of an authoritarian government, when the left wing media lies
about what they're doing, when they lie about who they're
arresting when they lie about the actual job of law enforcement.
What they're doing is encouraging crazy people to go and
commit violence. You don't have to agree with my immigration policies,
(23:20):
you don't have to agree with Donald Trump's immigration policies.
But if your political rhetoric encourages violence against our law enforcement,
you can go straight to hell. And you have no
place in the political conversation of the United States of America.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
Okay, when we return, you're going to hear part two
of jd Vance's speech in Concord earlier today. I really
do two segments of the same person speaking like this,
but this was so big and so good that I
wanted you to hear all of it, or as much
as you possibly could, So all of that when we return.
(24:12):
Welcome back to Breaking with Brad Jensen on this What
is it?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Wednesday night?
Speaker 7 (24:16):
Wednesday night?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
I always good?
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Today's confused?
Speaker 3 (24:18):
All right?
Speaker 7 (24:19):
Like I said, I rarely play two parts of a
person giving his speech.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
But this is the Vice President jd Vance.
Speaker 7 (24:25):
He was in Concord today and he's talking a lot
about crime and crime and crime and crime. And it
was so good that I wanted you to be able
to hear as much of it as you possibly could.
So here's the continuation of Vice President jd Vance speaking
about crime earlier today in Concord.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Just yesterday, NBC News maybe the worst of all the
fake news. And I'm sure we have an NBC reporter
out there. It's a tough competition, my friends, to be clear,
but maybe the worst. I said, maybe the worst is
NBC News. And they said that immigration enforced. But you
know what, they said that immigrants enforcement had detained a
five year old autistic girl in order to get to
(25:06):
that girl's father. Turned out that story was a complete fabrication.
It was a complete dishonest lie. But when you go
around and lie about our law enforcement and you tell
them that they're mistreating five year old girls, what do
you think is going to happen? When Democratic politicians incur doxing,
when they encourage us to unmask ice enforcement officers. What
(25:28):
do you think is going to happen? When the mayor
of Los Angeles encourages violent protesters to get in the
face of our law enforcement. What do you think is
going to happen. What's going to happen is political violence,
and political violence has gotten out of control in this country.
We got to stop it. We got to condemn it,
and that starts, unfortunately, at the very top of the
Democratic Party. If you want to stop political violence, stop
(25:52):
attacking our law enforcement as the Gestapo. If you want
to stop political violence, stop telling your supporters that everybody
who disagrees with you is a Nazi. If you want
to stop political violence, look in the mirror. That's the
way that we stop political violence in this Scot's rape.
And we've got to do it. And while we're all
(26:19):
mourning and rooting for and praying for everybody who has
injured at that ICE facility, and as far as we know,
it looks like some of the detainees, in other words,
some of the potential illegal aliens were some of those
who are affected. Look, just because we don't support illegal aliens,
we don't want them to be executed by violent assassins,
engaged in political violence or either. So we're praying both
(26:42):
for our ICE agents but also for everybody who's affected
by this terrible tack. But that was an ice facility,
and as these guys behind me know, and a few
of our police officers know, police officers writ large face
too many threats of violence all across the United States
of America. Know where it started. We all remember the
(27:02):
summer of twenty twenty when all of these violent protesters
were encouraged to treat police as the enemy instead of
as the solution. You'd take a thousand police officers, you'd
find one person who didn't do something perfect and use
that one guy to tarnish the other nine hundred and
ninety nine police officers. Well, I would like everybody, whether
(27:23):
a Democrat, a Republican, or an independent, especially those in
political leadership. Can we all just agree that our police
officers are heroes, that they are public servants, and that
the first and most important step of keeping all of
us safe is to keep our police officers safe because
they are the thin blue line between civilization and chaos.
(27:47):
Thank you all. It just happens too much, our police
officers being assaulted, our police officers being attacked. You have
these crazy attacks where you have a cop and a
squad car who's enjoying their lunch break and somebody comes
up and summarily executes them before the cop even had
(28:07):
a chance. It happens way too much, and it happens
because too many of our political leaders have encouraged it now,
and it's not just that, it's not just the rhetoric
that encourages violence against our law enforcement. You know, when
I was in the Senate, there was a big bill
that was going around, and it was basically that we
were going to try to eliminate qualified immunity from police officers,
(28:30):
one of the most disgraceful and worst ideas that I've
ever seen. In other words, that we were going to
make it easy for criminals to sue police officers for
doing their job. Now, does anybody think when you see
the fake news media and the way they attack our
police officers, does anybody think that we need to make
it harder for our police to do their job. Some
(28:50):
of America cities today, some of America cities today have
worse murder rates than the very worst third world cities
all over the world. That's not a joke. You go
to poor to Prince Haiti, or you go to some
of the poorest countries all over the world. Even those
countries have a better murder rate than Washington, d c.
(29:10):
Or some of the major American cities. Some of them
have better murder rates than Charlotte, North Carolina, that's a disgrace.
All of us should be asking how do we make
that better? How do we make people safer in their communities?
How do we make it easier for a young family
to walk down the street and security and comfort. But unfortunately,
we've got a crew of violent radicals in the United
(29:31):
States of America who think we ought to make it
harder for police to keep us safe than easier for
police to keep us safe. So here's one thing I'd
like to do. I'd like every single Democrat starting today,
and every Republican too while we're at it, to say
that we are going to defeat these efforts to strip
immunity from our police officers. We're going to make it
easier for them to do their job, not harder for
(29:54):
them to do their job. Let's fight for it every
single day. Let me just leave you with one final
thought here. Look, I was asked earlier today by a reporter,
a reporter I actually like, but a reporter who said, well,
don't both sides have crazy people? And of course, obviously
three hundred and thirty million people, of course both sides
(30:16):
have crazy people. But if you look at the political
violence in our country over the last couple of months
the last couple of years. It is not a both
sides problem. It is primarily on one side of the
political aisle. So if we are going to truly go
after the political violence in this country, we need the
Democratic leadership of Washington, d C. To look in the mirror.
(30:40):
We need them to renounce all political violence. When a
poor kid like Charlie Kirk is gunned down in cold blood,
we need them to start with condemning the violence instead
of condemning something that Charlie Kirk said that they disagreed with.
When you have when you have an entire network of
left wing organizations that encourage, that promote, and that apologize
(31:05):
for violence, you know what you're gonna get out of it.
You're gonna get political violence. So here's my sacred obligation
to you, to all the law enforcement, but every person,
whether they wear a uniform or not. Over the next
couple of years, the Trump administration is gonna do everything
that we can to dismantle the networks, to destroy the funding,
and to make it harder for people to kill one
(31:27):
another just because they disagree with what somebody says. That
is what we're gonna do. We're gonna fight for it.
Speaker 7 (31:34):
