11-19-25: Protests Much Ado About Nothing

Tune in here to this ​Wednesday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks off the show by giving an update about the various protests that are occurring around the city of Charlotte during the ongoing Border Patrol operation. Jensen references a specific demonstration that he attended this morning, that took place at The Home Depot location on Wendover Road. He notes that the attendance for this particular protest consisted of roughly 115 people. He also highlights that the people in attendance were holding signs saying "Honk for Migrants" and "Honk If You Hate ICE", among others. However, Jensen emphasizes that two things stood out to him about the demographic of the people who demonstrated - there weren't many people of color in attendance and most of them were older middle-class individuals. Later, Jensen recaps Mecklenburg County ABC's "Barrel-Palooza" event that took place on Saturday. He notes that Meck ABC broke the all-time sales record for one store with over $350,000. Jensen then shares an interview that he did with Vice President of Logistics & Mixed Beverages Brian Peter shortly before the store opened on Saturday morning. In the interview, Peter talks about the lottery system he implemented, and is now getting a lot of praise for, as well as the gentleman who traveled from Apex, North Carolina to be first in line for what he described as a "once in a lifetime" opportunity.
