11-21-25: CLT Gives Migrants $$$

Tune in here to this ​Friday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks off the show discussing the payout the Charlotte city government has set aside for immigrants and businesses that lost money during Border Patrol’s “Operation Charlotte’s Web.” He speaks with WBT News Director Mark Garrison, who explains the headline-making story in greater detail. Garrison says the issue began at a Charlotte City Council meeting earlier in the week, when council members directed City Manager Marcus Jones to locate funding to assist migrants in the community affected by the raids. As of Friday afternoon, the city issued a press release stating it has identified $100,000 for those migrants - both those legally and illegally in the country - to apply for assistance funded by city taxpayers. Later in the show, Jensen shares an interview with BHAWK Bourbon Distillery owner and former Army veteran Brad Halling, who was involved in the real “Black Hawk Down” incident. Jensen spoke with Halling following his appearance at the Charlotte Bourbon Society’s “Bourbon Hearts Charity Dinner” last week. In the interview, Jensen learns more about Halling as both a military veteran and a bourbon distiller. Listen here for all of this and more on Breaking With Brett Jensen.
