Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about allegations against North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, who is running for governor. CNN reported that Robinson made inappropriate comments in a pornographic chat room and has connections to an email linked to Ashley Madison. Robinson denies these claims, arguing they are a smear campaign. Jensen notes the potential political fallout, including how Democrats may use this to challenge Republican endorsements of Robinson. He compares the situation to past political scandals in North Carolina and highlights the state’s tendency for split-ticket voting. Overall, he remains skeptical about the long-term impact on Robinson's campaign as the election approaches.
The conversation shifts to an investigation by David Hodges from WBTV, focusing on Magistrate Ashley Blackwell, who is accused of unethical behavior, including having inappropriate relationships with defendants and potential conflicts of interest.
