Speaker 1: I Oh, let's go oh, let's go oh, Let's go oh,
Speaker 1: let's go Welcome back Talk. Let us se AO point
Speaker 1: nine at them. Then fifte Brett Jensen here with you
Speaker 1: on this Tuesday night edition of Breaking with Brett Jenson.
Speaker 1: Already been corrected a couple of times today because I
Speaker 1: thought today was Wednesday. But if anyone who's ever listened
Speaker 1: to this show for more than three months will know
Speaker 1: that I get my days mixed up all the time.
Speaker 1: A Monday, to me is no different than a Thursday.
Speaker 1: Like they're all the same. They're all the same for
Speaker 1: the way I do my what I what I do
Speaker 1: for a job standpoint, they're literally the exact same day.
Speaker 1: So I thought today was Wednesday, but obviously it's not.
Speaker 1: Today is Tuesday. And by the way, to get in
Speaker 1: on the show seven oh four or five seven oh
Speaker 1: one oh seven nine, that is also the WBT text
Speaker 1: line driven by Liberty Buick GMC. So there's a few
Speaker 1: different things we're going to get into tonight, but I
Speaker 1: want to start off with something that Mecklmore County put
Speaker 1: out there, and then I think I was the first
Speaker 1: reporter to put it out there. And it's not like
Speaker 1: I was breaking news. I was just the first one
Speaker 1: to put it out there because Mecklimore County sent us,
Speaker 1: the Mecklimore County Health Department sent us an email. And
Speaker 1: I don't know why nobody else decided to put it
Speaker 1: out there, but I put it out there, and then
Speaker 1: about five ten minutes later, everyone else started putting it
Speaker 1: out there. All right, all this how this works? But
Speaker 1: I'm used to that by now. But anyways, it's base
Speaker 1: and there's a story to go along with this. And
Speaker 1: the Michaelmore County Health Department put out an update on
Speaker 1: the cyclosporasus uh sportsias spor sporasus, sporasus sports. I have
Speaker 1: no idea how they pronounce it. Sporasus. Is that what
Speaker 1: it is? Sparrisus? Okay, thank you. So I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: read you a little bit of the email, and then
Speaker 1: I got something to tell you. Michaelmore County Public Health
Speaker 1: continues to monitor the ongoing I'll just say, the uh
Speaker 1: parasite how about that parasite parasite illness, because that's what
Speaker 1: it is. It's it's a little tiny bug parasite. Continues
Speaker 1: to monitor the parasite illness outbreak and will update case
Speaker 1: data every Tuesday, so today's Tuesday. As of July twenty first,
Speaker 1: there are twenty nine cases in Mecklinmore County and four hospitalizations.
Speaker 1: Around seventy five percent of the cases are linked to
Speaker 1: domestic or international travel outside of Mecklinmore County, Okay. It
Speaker 1: says this bug or virus is it's not a virus.
Speaker 1: It's a bug. This illness is not new, and we
Speaker 1: typically see cases every summer where more people travel. While
Speaker 1: the current multi state outbreak. With the current multi state outbreak,
Speaker 1: it's important to take states or steps to protect your
Speaker 1: health by washing your hands and practicing safe food handling.
Speaker 1: It is an intestinal illness caused by a parasite called cyclospora.
Speaker 1: People usually feel sick about one week after exposure to
Speaker 1: the paras site. The main symptoms is I they changed
Speaker 1: the adjective in front of the word diarrhea. I know
Speaker 1: nobody wants to hear that, but that's just the way
Speaker 1: it is. It's that's the technical term, right, That's literally
Speaker 1: the word used in this email from the Health department.
Speaker 1: But they changed the word in front of the word diarrhea.
Speaker 1: The adjective now the adjective that has been used for
Speaker 1: the last three to four weeks in front of that
Speaker 1: word diarrhea is explosive. How many times have you seen
Speaker 1: or heard the word from like actual doctors explosive? Okay,
Speaker 1: I hear you. Volcano boy, all right, Joe versus the volcano?
Speaker 1: Remember that movie, Tom Hanks. I believe Shelley Long. I
Speaker 1: think anyway, they watered it down, the description down. Did
Speaker 1: you see what I did there? Do you see what
Speaker 1: I did there? But to me that seems redundant. Isn't
Speaker 1: that pretty much what that is? Watered down? Isn't that
Speaker 1: what it actually is? So it feels a little redundant.
Speaker 1: I like the term explosive better now last week, so
Speaker 1: we know that lettuce and I feel like Taco Bell
Speaker 1: is getting a bad hit on this, Like Taco Bell
Speaker 1: is getting hit for the lettuce because the lettuce is
Speaker 1: coming from Mexico and all that. But it's not just that.
Speaker 1: It's strawberries, it's blackberries, it's raspberries, like all this fruit
Speaker 1: it's cilantro. All this stuff coming from Mexico has been
Speaker 1: some to a great degree, some to a little degree,
Speaker 1: but all of them have been contaminated with this little
Speaker 1: parasite on the skin it's not internal, it's on the skin.
Speaker 1: So last week I made homemade salsa. Symptoms take anywhere
Speaker 1: from two to fourteen days to appear. Tuesday, I made
Speaker 1: homemade salsa. I do the show Friday night, and about
Speaker 1: seven thirty eight o'clock, Holy macrimony. I think I said macrimony,
Speaker 1: holy macaroni. I should say not matrimony macaroni. It was
Speaker 1: Bret versus the volcano all Friday night, all day Saturday
Speaker 1: was severe severe cramps. Saturday night, got no sleep, severe
Speaker 1: your cramps. Brett versus the volcano all day Sunday, same thing,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I have this damn parasite because of
Speaker 1: the cilantro that I made homemade salsa with. I made
Speaker 1: it Tuesday Friday night. Bengo bango, your boy was not
Speaker 1: doing well this weekend. It was Brett and Mount Saint
Speaker 1: Helen's Brett and Mount Vesuvius all weekend. By the way,
Speaker 1: those are famous tame as volcanoes, just in case people
Speaker 1: aren't aware. So yeah, that was me all weekend. And
Speaker 1: then uh, yesterday morning, I felt more human, a little
Speaker 1: bit better enough to go sit down with the mayor
Speaker 1: for forty five minutes. Yesterday and I will tell you
Speaker 1: I was nervous going there, and I will also because
Speaker 1: of you never know when that feeling's going to hit you.
Speaker 1: And I will tell you I was eating amodium like
Speaker 1: green M and m's just popping them left and right,
Speaker 1: and now that has caused a different issue that we're having. Emodium.
Speaker 1: You know what emodium does, right, Okay, I'm telling you
Speaker 1: without telling you emodium. You know what emodium does, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you without telling you. So anyways, that's where
Speaker 1: we are. I know this is exactly what you wanted
Speaker 1: to hear before you starting your dinner on a Tuesday night.
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it, but I don't know
Speaker 1: if I had it. I don't know. I had all
Speaker 1: the symptoms. But it also lasted about fifty four hours,
Speaker 1: and I don't know how long it's supposed to last. Now,
Speaker 1: I will tell you the people are generally getting hospitalized,
Speaker 1: I do know this. Are the people that are generally
Speaker 1: getting hospitalized or tend to be older people. And they're
Speaker 1: also because they're extremely dehydrated. That's why they're being hospitalized.
Speaker 1: There is medicine. You can take pills for it and
Speaker 1: wipe it on out. Get you. You know, it'll take
Speaker 1: care of you, gets rid of the parasite. But most
Speaker 1: people are going to the hospital because of dehydration. And
Speaker 1: dehydration has never been an issue with me. Anyone who
Speaker 1: knows me knows that I'm like Cy from Duck Dynasty,
Speaker 1: who's always got the cup of tea with them. I've
Speaker 1: always got something with me, whether it's like right now,
Speaker 1: I got a Poweraid zero, or it's a Coke zero
Speaker 1: or an ANW root Beer zero because there's no caffeine
Speaker 1: and ANW root beer so I might drink that at night.
Speaker 1: I'm a big milk guy, Like my refrigerator is eighty
Speaker 1: five percent liquid things that I drink, So me being
Speaker 1: hydrated has never been an issue. I've always got a
Speaker 1: drink in my hand, always in my car. If I'm
Speaker 1: going to a press conference, a CMPD press conference, guess what,
Speaker 1: there's a Coke zero in my book bag and I'm
Speaker 1: taking it into the press conference. I just always have
Speaker 1: a drink with me. So anyway, so I don't know
Speaker 1: if I had it this weekend. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I had the parasite. Don't know. Well, it was awfully
Speaker 1: coincidental that a couple of days after I had the
Speaker 1: old uh cilantro for homemade salsa that Brett took a
Speaker 1: trip to Mount Saint Helen's back Brett Jenson. So yesterday
Speaker 1: the hour long show centered around Charlotte's new mayor, Rob
Speaker 1: Harrington and my sit down interview with him in his
Speaker 1: office on the fifteenth floor, in the corner office where
Speaker 1: he's got windows facing uptown really really nice and windows
Speaker 1: facing south towards South End in South Park. As first
Speaker 1: time on ever been in the mayor's office for someone
Speaker 1: ever been in there. Really nice, really big, really big.
Speaker 1: But it was it was a good interview. There was
Speaker 1: one question I did not ask him, and I didn't
Speaker 1: the way the interview was going, I didn't feel like
Speaker 1: it was the right time. I want to give it
Speaker 1: some room to breathe and see, you know, maybe in
Speaker 1: two months or three months ask him about it. Maybe
Speaker 1: in October. Because when you were doing questions and interviews,
Speaker 1: you have to get a feel for the room. You know,
Speaker 1: you you'd never ever start an interview with your hardest question.
Speaker 1: Whether you're talking to a friend or a boss, or
Speaker 1: you're doing an interview, start easy, build up, go extra hard,
Speaker 1: and end easy. Why do you end easy because it's
Speaker 1: the last thing on their minds about how easy it was,
Speaker 1: or towards the end of it, you know, like so
Speaker 1: it's like a little hill. You start off at the
Speaker 1: low level, you build up to the high hard level,
Speaker 1: then you go back down to the easy level. And
Speaker 1: that's generally how I do interviews because you tend to
Speaker 1: get more that way. And the way the interview was
Speaker 1: going yesterday, the question that I truly truly wanted to ask,
Speaker 1: but I just it didn't feel right to ask it
Speaker 1: at the time, And the question is this, And I'm
Speaker 1: going to reveal my hand here. Generally I keep this
Speaker 1: to myself, but I'll give you a little behind the
Speaker 1: scenes and all the other media outlets that are listening
Speaker 1: to me so they can steal my question. The question
Speaker 1: is this. One of the main reasons Viylyials is getting
Speaker 1: out outside of her health issues, is because she truly
Speaker 1: hates the city council. She's hated him for the last
Speaker 1: three to four years. They are chaotic, and they generally
Speaker 1: don't like each other, and they're disorganized and dysfunctional. How
Speaker 1: are you going to step in and try to handle
Speaker 1: the city council and deal with all the chaos. That
Speaker 1: was going to be my question. But he hasn't even
Speaker 1: had his first city council meeting yet, so he hasn't
Speaker 1: experienced it yet. And the way, like I said, the
Speaker 1: way the interview was going, it just didn't fit in yesterday.
Speaker 1: Wasn't the hard probing sixty minutes interviews that you guys
Speaker 1: are used to be doing. He's been on the job
Speaker 1: a week and a half. He hasn't had a chance
Speaker 1: to do anything yet. I did bring up the fact
Speaker 1: that that I seventy seven tolans are only being held
Speaker 1: up by twenty nine houses, many of which aren't even
Speaker 1: owned by the people that live there. Companies own them
Speaker 1: and rent them out. So I did bring that up,
Speaker 1: and he gave a very political lawyer asque answer, Well,
Speaker 1: we want to hear from all people and look, and again,
Speaker 1: I know he's only been on the job. We can
Speaker 1: have so he's not going to say yes, we got
Speaker 1: to expand him or no, we can't expand it. He's
Speaker 1: not going to do that. You'd be an idiot if
Speaker 1: he did. He has to see how things are going
Speaker 1: and then realize, oh, yeah, we are going to owe
Speaker 1: thirty five to forty million as a city, to the state,
Speaker 1: to the NCDOT, we are going to have to pay that,
Speaker 1: and that might change some opinions. Twenty nine houses, many
Speaker 1: of which aren't even owned by the people that live there.
Speaker 1: Or let's write a check back to the nc DOT
Speaker 1: for thirty five million dollars. And oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: you know, sacrifice the one hundred and sixty six thousand
Speaker 1: cars that drive on I seventy seven South between Carowin's
Speaker 1: Boulevard and uptown every day. One hundred and sixty six
Speaker 1: thousand cars. Actually, I think the exact numbers one sixty two,
Speaker 1: to be honest. So where what are you going to do?
Speaker 1: You sacrificing the many to save the fifteen twenty nine houses,
Speaker 1: but a lot of them don't own the houses, say
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty and have to write a check for thirty
Speaker 1: to thirty five million, is what you're going to do.
Speaker 1: So he would have been stupid to say give an
Speaker 1: answer yesterday. And this man is clearly not stupid. This
Speaker 1: dude is smart, very smart, very eloquent. She got it
Speaker 1: back to breaking with Brett Jensen here on this Tuesday night, Tuesday,
Speaker 1: I remember it's Tuesday night, seven oh four, five, seven
Speaker 1: oh eleven, ten. All right, let me talk to you
Speaker 1: about the North Counta Senate race Watley and Cooper. I
Speaker 1: talked a little bit about this. When was it, let's
Speaker 1: say it Tuesday, so Friday, I guess I talked about
Speaker 1: it Friday. And that is the for the first time,
Speaker 1: Michael Wattley in one of the latest polls is only
Speaker 1: down four points. The Public Policy Polling and they've been
Speaker 1: doing polling in North Carolina for a long time, and
Speaker 1: they don't even try to hide the fact that they
Speaker 1: are a Democrat centrist polling company. Like they are leftists.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that in a bad way. I
Speaker 1: don't mean like they're socialists. I mean they're just Democrat
Speaker 1: and they do polling just like you know, there are
Speaker 1: a couple of companies, like maybe three companies out there
Speaker 1: that tend to be right leaning as opposed to all
Speaker 1: the horribly crooked left leaning polls New York Times, Washington Post, CNN,
Speaker 1: Quinnipiac Mayrist like just horrible, just basically lie to you,
Speaker 1: like and I'm not even joking. You don't believe me.
Speaker 1: Go look at the last four go to real clear politics,
Speaker 1: and you can look at the polling from the last
Speaker 1: four or last three or four presidential elections, and you'll
Speaker 1: see New York Times as Kamala Harris winning by ten
Speaker 1: by ten points, she lost North Calinda by three. They
Speaker 1: had North, They had Kamala Harris winning North Calendar by
Speaker 1: like four points. They have Biden winning North Calendar by
Speaker 1: six points or five points he lost. So the fact
Speaker 1: that this is a left leaning, admittedly so polling group
Speaker 1: only has Waltley down four points. I think there are
Speaker 1: multiple reasons for that. One. Waltley's message about all the
Speaker 1: things that Cooper did with the criminals, and the closing
Speaker 1: of the schools and the crapping the bed with two
Speaker 1: different hurricanes, Hurricane Lean and Hurricane Matthew, marching with protesters
Speaker 1: when he told everyone to wear a mask, but yet
Speaker 1: wasn't wearing a mask himself. Like there's a lot, there's
Speaker 1: a lot there to have a field day with, like
Speaker 1: a lot. And this new commercial that Cooper's out and
Speaker 1: I've already talked about about, he said how he believes
Speaker 1: criminals should stay in jail, just not the forty two
Speaker 1: hundred that he let out of jail, including murders, rapists,
Speaker 1: you know, pedophiles, things like that, people should stay in
Speaker 1: jail unless you're on my forty two hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: person life. But it's forty eight to forty four according
Speaker 1: to this new poll. And like I said, they've been
Speaker 1: doing this for a long time. And here's what I
Speaker 1: think is happening. Yes, Wiley's making headway and getting the
Speaker 1: message out, but there's also some other things and one
Speaker 1: of them is a national thing that's going on right now.
Speaker 1: How many of you have either seen or heard about
Speaker 1: the most recent Bill Maher interview on ABC News. Bill
Speaker 1: Maher lifetime Democrat who hates the woke, hates the woke,
Speaker 1: rips it all the time, but it's still a hardcore Democrat,
Speaker 1: and is you know, not a fan of Trump and
Speaker 1: Republicans and all that, but he hates the woke, I
Speaker 1: think more than he hates the Republicans or Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: He said on ABC News yesterday in his interview that
Speaker 1: as of right now, between a socialist candidate like Bernie Sanders,
Speaker 1: AOC people that are supporting the socialist candidates, or Republican JD. Vance,
Speaker 1: he would vote for JD. Vans all day and it
Speaker 1: would probably be the first time in his life that
Speaker 1: he's ever voted for a Republican because his direct quote was,
Speaker 1: I'm not living in a communist country. And you are
Speaker 1: seeing all these Democrats that are aligning themselves with the
Speaker 1: democrats socialists because the people that are already in office,
Speaker 1: they're losing, a lot of the incumbents are losing. So
Speaker 1: now they have to play kate to the democrats socialists,
Speaker 1: all these Democrats who want everything for free. Do you
Speaker 1: remember when everyone thought they were going to get a
Speaker 1: free Obama phone? Remember that? Remember that everyone thought they
Speaker 1: were gonna get a free Oh they literally called it
Speaker 1: an Obama phone, you know, you know, just like Obamacare. Right,
Speaker 1: everyone thought they were getting a free phone. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm right, Like a lot of drivers are in here
Speaker 1: to lab like they know, I'm right, right, all the
Speaker 1: drivers you are a kid like so you probably don't
Speaker 1: remember that you were like you were like six. But
Speaker 1: so now all these socialists want everything rent control and
Speaker 1: free groceries and this and that. Yeah, New York City
Speaker 1: and Seattle right now they're upside down financially. They're underwater
Speaker 1: financially because they're trying to do all these programs and
Speaker 1: all these billionaires, and all these companies are leaving town
Speaker 1: going You're not going to tax those twice as much
Speaker 1: as everywhere else. Screw you. Same reason why California is
Speaker 1: losing all their companies and people. So people are being
Speaker 1: tied because they won't disavow the Democrats socialists. So now
Speaker 1: these Democrats are being tied to the Democrats, socialists, and
Speaker 1: the independence the unaffiliated, which make up roughly fifty of
Speaker 1: the electorate in North Carolina, maybe a little bit less
Speaker 1: forty maybe, yeah, probably forty percent somewhere ond there. How
Speaker 1: do you think independents are going to vote if they
Speaker 1: truly are an independent, not people that were Democrats and
Speaker 1: they just put unaffiliated on their voter form just so
Speaker 1: people at work don't get upset or whatever, or they're
Speaker 1: trying to hide they're true, what their true cause in
Speaker 1: life is is to be hardcore Democrat. Not those people,
Speaker 1: but people that are truly unaffiliated. How do you think
Speaker 1: they're going to vote? Socialist, communist or Mark Arrubio? I
Speaker 1: think that's an easy one. I think that's easy. I
Speaker 1: mean that backcrap crazy situation going on up in Minnesota
Speaker 1: or Maine. Do yourself a favor, go on YouTube and
Speaker 1: look at all the highlights from the main Senic debate
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Oh my god, there's a dude wearing
Speaker 1: a dress with like purple hair, and he's every bit
Speaker 1: at three fitty. He weighs as much as me and
Speaker 1: Travers put together. So that's another reason why I think
Speaker 1: while he's gaming is because the Democrats are sinking in
Speaker 1: the national polls all across the national poles. They are
Speaker 1: sinking rapidly because of their affiliation with the Socialists. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to breaking with Brett Jenson for a few more mens,
Speaker 1: until we send you off to TJ and the Bear. Richie,
Speaker 1: I swear to you, one of these days, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna play the theme song to TJ and the Bear
Speaker 1: lo As a matter of fact, Loney, won't you've triumph
Speaker 1: on that right now on good old YouTube? Because I
Speaker 1: was a show I never watched. I never watched that
Speaker 1: show about a guy driving across the country and an
Speaker 1: eighteen wheeler with a little champanzee called the Bear hanging
Speaker 1: out next to him, and he would always go into
Speaker 1: And the only reason I know this is because we
Speaker 1: actually looked it up on Wikipedia one day. He would
Speaker 1: go into all these towns, and trouble always seemed to
Speaker 1: find him, and he was always trying to solve the
Speaker 1: crime so he wouldn't get implicated or save the damsel
Speaker 1: in distress with this little chimpanzee called the Bear. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so yeah, we're gonna have to play something, you know what,
Speaker 1: Maybe for now on the last thing thirty seconds of
Speaker 1: my show will be the t J and the Bear
Speaker 1: theme song. That GJ. This is gonna be your intro
Speaker 1: every damn day. Now as I sign off, when I
Speaker 1: say t J, Richie is coming up next, lone is
