The Current with K.J. - Sept 24, 2026

On this episode of The Current with K.J., we revisit the death of Nolan Wells after a Mississippi grand jury declined to indict anyone in the case, leaving questions surrounding the 18-year-old’s death unresolved. We also recap Week Two of the NFL season, look at McDonald’s $8.5 billion plan to modernize its restaurants with artificial intelligence and other upgrades, and break down the developing legal battle over White House access for several major news organizations. Then, in Carolina Focus, we examine the updated agreement to combine WakeMed and Atrium Health and what the proposed deal could mean for healthcare in Wake County; the arrest and indictment of former NC State sports medicine director Robert Michael Murphy on multiple sexual abuse-related charges; and proposed legislation that would change North Carolina’s divorce laws, including shortening the state’s current separation requirement. Finally, in The Hawk’s Nest, we catch up on the latest news, events and announcements from Nash Community College.
