Speaker 1 (00:00):
Too night. Michael Brown joins me here, the former FEMA
director of talk show host Michael Brown. Brownie, no, Brownie.
You're doing a heck of a job the Weekend with
Michael Brown broadcasting life from Denver, Colorado. You're listening to
the Weekend with Michael Brown, and I'm really glad to
have you joining the program today. I really am. The
text line number, if you will to send me a
text message is three three one zero three three three
one zero three. Use one of two keywords Mike or Michael.
(00:24):
Tell me anything, ask me anything. And while you're at it,
why not look I have a lot of fun on X.
I'm kind of snarky. I'm kind of fun, sarcastic. I
know that comes as a shock to you. So if
you want to hear some breaking news and maybe see
some things that you might not otherwise see, go follow
me on X. My account on X is at Michael
(00:44):
Brown Usa. Go do that right now. So this hour
I want to get We're going to go to law
school this hour. And i want to go to law
school because I've heard from too many listeners and too
many friends, even at dinner the other night, about so
Trump's doing all of these things, signing all of these
executive orders, and yet all across the country, Democrats and
(01:10):
NGOs and different organizations, unions, you name it are all
running to federal district courts and getting injunctions to stop
Trump from doing what he says he's going to do.
And my answer is, yes, what do you expect? Of
course they are you know, people forget that anybody can
(01:33):
sue anybody for anything. If if I decide today that
I want to go sue you for some stupid reason,
all I gotta do is I don't have to I
don't have to hire a lawyer. Now, not because I
am a lawyer, but I don't have to hire a lawyer.
I can go to the I can go to the
federal district court and I can say, hey, can you
give me the form for a breacher contractor can you
(01:55):
get Or I can go to the public library, I
can go online, you can go all the all sorts
of websites will give you all these forms. And I
want to sue you because I think you defamed me,
you libeled me, or you breached a contract, or you
caused me bodily harm, you know, a personal injury case
or or you violated my civil rights someway, and so
all I gotta do is put together a complaint, which
(02:19):
is why it's called in federal court, and walk into
a courthouse in a jurisdiction where I live, the Federal
District Court of Colorado, or I could walk into a
federal district court where you live, the you know, the
Southern District in New York, which we talked about earlier today,
And so if you live in the Southern District in
New York, I could go see you in the Southern
(02:39):
District in New York. All I have to do is
go pay the filing fee, and that starts the process.
It doesn't mean I'm going to win. And in fact,
if the case is so frivolous, meaning there's no merit
to the lawsuit whatsoever, a judge you could file a
motion to dismiss and you could ask for sanctions based
on the fact that I filed or frivolous lawsuit. And
(03:01):
if you hired an attorney to do that for you,
you might get a judge to award you make me
pay your attorney fees to get that case dismissed. The
larger question is not you know, why are they suing, Well,
they're suing because they want to slow things down. They're
suing because they want to try to stop him if
they can, and they have a right to do it,
and Trump fully expected this. But what I want everyone
(03:27):
to calm down about is, don't be surprised by this.
This is normal course of business. It may delay things,
but I don't think it's ultimately going to stop things,
because the Supreme Court of the United States has already
rebuked all of these universal injunctions that are being used
(03:48):
to stop Donald Trump. So let's delve into that a
little bit. All across the country, these and most conservative sites,
conservative news organizations will refer to the judges as being
activist judges. I agree with that, but I don't like
(04:10):
using that term. And people will say you will say
to you, well, this is an Obama judge, or this
was a Reagan judge, or this was a Bush judge,
and all those things are true. I want to believe,
and you can call me night naive for this. I
want to believe that a judge is going to make
their decision based on what they believe, even though I
(04:31):
may think they're wrong. What they believe to be the
current interpretation of the law. So forget activist judges. Just
judges from usually left leaning cities or left leaning jurisdictions
are issuing what they call universal injunctions that force the
(04:53):
executive branch to pause, not stop. Pause. That's why they're
referred to as tros temporary restraining orders, a temporary injunction
meaning just pause for a moment. But this Sprine. Courts
(05:16):
already ruled that these universal injunctions are legally and historically dubious. Now,
let me explain. A nationwide or a universal injunction prohibits
the executive branch Donald Trump, or the Attorney General or
the Department of Energy, or whoever it might be. A
(05:38):
universal or a nationwide injunction prohibits the executive branch from
applying a law or a policy nationally, as opposed to
applying that pause or that injunction just in the jurisdiction
where the lawsuit is brought. Now, some states have more
(05:58):
jurisdictions than others. Has one federal district jurisdiction the entire
state is the Federal District Court of Colorado. In Oklahoma,
there's the Northern District, which kind of is the northeast
corner of the state. And then there's the Western District,
which is pretty much the western part of the state California.
(06:19):
I'd have to go look it up. California has numerous
federal district courts, and those are all normally when a
let's say a district court, a federal district court in
San Francisco, now I'm not talking about the appellate court,
I'm talking about the trial court. When that trial court
(06:39):
in San Francisco issues an injunction, the normal rule of
law is that injunction applies only to that jurisdiction. It
doesn't apply to the rest of the state of California,
doesn't apply Towayoming, it doesn't apply to Maine, it doesn't
apply to Texas. It applies to that jurisdiction because that's
the jurisdiction of that federal st judge. That judge sitting
(07:03):
in San Francisco has no jurisdiction to hear a case
in Maine. A federal district judge sitting in Colorado has
no jurisdiction over a lawsuit in Texas or New Mexico
right next door to us. So when they apply a
nationwide or a universal injunction, that says, you can't do
(07:26):
this anywhere in the country. My argument is, wait a minute,
you don't have the authority to do that. Let me
give you some details. Since taking office almost four weeks ago,
Trump has seen dozens of these executive orders and these
presidential memorandums getting challenged by federal courts and then temporarily paused.
(07:52):
Just let me give you three examples. A judge forced
Trump to continue funding child's side exchanges. Now, that was
one judge in one jurisdiction, but he applied that. Trump
said no more federal funding for child sex changes anywhere.
(08:15):
In fact, I think the executive order may have gone
even further and said no child sex changes anywhere. Now
you can argue whether that's constitutional or not, but that's
the case that I mean, that's what's to be decided.
But the judge said, I'm going to apply this nationwide. Now.
Then another example, two separate judges blocked Trump's freeze on
(08:40):
federal aid. You know when he said, hey, I'm going
to freeze all federal aid until we have a time.
We have time to audit. Now, Senator round Paul, let
me just stick to these examples. Another example is a
judge ban and Trump's federal buyout program that said, Hey,
(09:05):
if you want to resign your position in the federal government,
do so by a certain date. We'll pay you through
the end of the fiscal year, and then you're out
of here. But you're gonna quit working the minute you
agree to this buyout. Now, since then, that's already been reversed,
but a judge nonetheless tried to impose that nationwide. Now,
(09:28):
let's go over to Elon Musk, because Elon must seems
to be the bugaboo in all of these cases, because
he's been leading Trump's effort to cut government waste. Well,
he wrote over on X yesterday in response to this
wave of all these nationwide injunctions, he wrote this, if
any judge anywhere can stop every presidential action everywhere, we
(09:52):
do not live in a democracy. Now. Of course, you know, personally,
I got a bugaboo about the use of the word democracy.
If I I had been Elon Musk, I would have
written this, if any judge anywhere can stop every presidential
action everywhere, we do not live in a republic. Now
the Supreme Court actually agrees with him, but nobody talks
(10:15):
about this. In twenty eighteen, the Supreme Court overturned a
lower court's nationwide injunction on President Trump's travel ban during
his first term. Do you remember this case? Remember Trump
wanted to impose a travel ban on certain people coming
(10:37):
into this country. It was limited, but it was you know,
wherever you live. You know, if you are Muslim, we're
not gonna let you in the country until we can
fully vet you. In the majority opinion in that case
in twenty eighteen, just as Clarence Thomas said this, district
courts have begun imposing universal injunctions with that can considering
(11:00):
their authority to grant such sweeping relief. These injunctions are encouraged, encouraging.
These injunctions are encouraging forum shopping, judge shopping, and making
every case a national emergency for the courts and for
the executive branch. In some he says universal injunctions are
(11:21):
legally and historically dubious, and then he says one more thing.
I'll tell you what that is next. Hey, So we
came with Michael Brown, glad to have you with me.
The text line number is three three one zero three
three three one zero three. Use the keywords either Mike
or Michael tell anything, ask me anything. Remember I read
(11:43):
them all the time. And while you're on While you're
doing that, you must on your phone go over to
your app, your social media folder and follow me on
x It's at Michael Brown USA. So we're talking about
these nationwide injunctions because this is to be expected, said
that the progressive left is going to move in and
(12:03):
try to stop all of these executive voters. In fact,
they're going to try to stop everything. And I find
it fascinating because if you stop and consider, let's just
take doze for a moment, regardless of what you think
of Elon Musk, who cares about Elon Musk just because
he's a millionaire with Aspergers and he's got a close
(12:24):
relationship with Donald Trump? And who cares well? Why I
thought all you libs loved your tesla's and all of
a sudden, do you think he's a horrible individual if
you focus just on what he's trying to accomplish. Was
used to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse, to cut back
(12:44):
on government spending, to make the government more effective, even
more efficient. I find it fascinating. I don't find it unbelievable.
I find it fascinating that Democrats don't have. It's like
they're for waste, fraud, and abuse, because all they do
is bitch about Elon musk Oh, he's unconstitutionally appointed. He's
(13:09):
he's exercising the powers of the president. No, he's not.
He's not doing any of that. He's heading up a
team of a bunch of twenty somethings that are smarter
than you and I by about one thousand percent, to
go in and find out. Hey, let's let's find out
where money's being misspent, where money's being spent incorrectly or illegally.
Let's find systems, you know, all the IT systems that
are outdated and not working, not doing what they're supposed
(13:32):
to do, or ways that we could make it work
more efficiently, and then let's tell the president about that,
and then the president can freeze the funding or pause
the funding, or say let's put in a new IT system.
Yet all Democrats do is go out and chant f Trump, Wow,
that's the best you got. Come on, I guess that
(13:54):
means you're for an inefficient, ineffective government, which I know
you are, and you're actually four more spending, wasteful spending
because you're nothing but a bunch of grifters, and you're
using the nngos to fund your private sector cronies. That's
exactly what you're doing. So but we should not be
surprised by these lawsuits to stop this because Donald Trump
(14:19):
or anybody for that matter, doesn't make any difference anybody
that runs as a disruptor and that runs for president
and actually does what he says he's going to do
from the campaign. I think the DC establishment is scared
to death of that, because they do. They've got a
(14:40):
great grift going. They've got a one hell of a
deal that's been going on for decades while you and
I have been asleep. Now we haven't all been asleep,
but we have been screaming at our lungs just that
nobody's been listening to us, and the people that we
thought would do something proved to be absolutely worthless, truly worthless.
(15:02):
Now we're getting stuff done, which makes me pause for
a moment and remind you, I'm gonna kind of chew
you out a little bit here. The more we get
into this and the more that he starts turning over
the apple cart, breaking the china, doing all the stuff
(15:23):
that a bowl in a China closet would do at
some point he's gonna do something you don't like, Well,
don't let the one thing he doesn't like that he
does that you don't like cause you to then turn
around and say, I'm not gonna have any more of this,
because nobody's gonna do everything that you and I like.
(15:44):
But these lawsuits I think deserve some attention from us,
because take a deep breath, all of these lawsuits, in
one way or another, one or many of them will
rapidly reach the US Supreme And what I'm trying to
point out is that the Supreme Court has to some
(16:06):
degree already ruled that wait a minute, these national injunctions
that you keep throwing in front of him are already,
at least in a two thousand opinion Unlawful Justice, Thomas
wrote this, I'm skeptical that district courts have the authority
(16:32):
to enter universal injunctions. These injunctions did not emerge until
a century and a half after the founding of the country,
and they appear to be inconsistent with long standing limits
on equitable relief and the power of Article three courts.
If their popularity continues, this court the US Supreme Court
(16:53):
must address their legality. Here's the big picture. It's pretty
clear to me that these lower federal courts today are
doing everything that Justice Thomas warned about in twenty eighteen,
and many, if not all, of these rulings will likely
(17:14):
need to go to the Supreme Court to be corrected.
But in the meantime, the Democrats are indeed, they're delaying
the will of the American people who voted for Trump
to enact the policies that they are now using these
injunctions to block. But don't let that drive you nuts.
I mean, it will drive you nuts, but don't let
(17:35):
it discourage you, because I think the Court ultimately will say,
you know, you can't do this. You have jurisdiction over
your part, your district, and that's it. You can't do
this nationally, otherwise it'll be uttered chaos. It's the Weekend
with Michael Brown. Follow me on next, it's at Michael
(17:55):
Brown USA. I'll be right back. Keep it right here.

And I really do want you to follow me on
X because this next segment that I'm about to do
is based on something that I posted on X yesterday
and I want you to go look at it. And
it's eighteen minutes and we have a technical problem and
(19:01):
I can't play pieces of it for you today because
of a technical goof up on my part, not on
Damien's part. But jd Vance was in Munich, Germany this
past week and he took a lecturing tone against a
bunch of European elitists at the Munich Security Forum. This
(19:26):
past week, he absolutely slammed these leaders who failed to
abide by the wishes of their own citizens, and he
condemned the censorship and the persecution of Conservatives, Christians and
others that's going on all across the continent, including the
United Kingdom. In Scotland, it was now whether you like JD.
(19:50):
Vance or not, or whether you like his speaking style
or not, this is one situation where I want you
to go look at I posted it's on my time X.
Don't do it now, but later today find a time
when you can watch this and you don't have to
listen to how he speaks, or just listen to the
(20:12):
words and remember his audience. It's a bunch of European
foreign ministers, prime ministers, generals, NATO officials, is a security
conference and he just lays it on him. I found
it fascinating, absolutely fascinating. And what's interesting is I'll tell
(20:36):
you so, I'll give you some quotes from him in
just a second. But what's fascinating about it is he
does use the phrase that there's a new sheriff in town. Well,
it should be obvious to anybody sitting in that room
that there's a new sheriff in town because he points
out that he's there on behalf of his boss, the
President of the United States of America, and they know
that every single word that he's saying has been approved
(20:58):
by the White House, and that this is how America
views Europe. Now, why do I get so excited about
this speech Because this is a speech that I would
have loved to have given. I love Europe. I've got
friends in Europe. I love the United Kingdom, and I
always separate them out now because of Brexit, you know,
(21:21):
they're not really part of the EU. Well, they're not
part of the EU anymore. But Europe is just a historically,
I mean, it's just rich with history. It's I would
nationally call it the birthplace of Western civilization. But you
think about the magnet heart of being birthed in England.
(21:42):
A lot of our values come from Europe, and now
Europe is just degenerating into a craphole continent. So, speaking
at the conference, Vance boldly declared that this new share
of is in town and that there is a new
(22:02):
American approach to our partners and our allies. He says,
we gather at this conference, of course, to discuss security
and normally we mean threats to our external security. But
it was clear after listening to the speech that he
was not necessarily talking about our external security, but the
(22:23):
threats to our internal security. In other words, he's saying
that what you are doing, you, as the elitists that
are in power in your countries and are in power
in the European Union, you're the threat to our values
that we hold dear. He said, the threat that I
(22:45):
worry the most about visa via Europe is not Russia,
it's not China, it's not any other external actor. And
what I worry about is the threat from within. He
talked about how Europe is retreating from the fundamental values
of free speech and democracy. He alluded to a person
(23:11):
in and I'm sorry, I forget whether it was the youth,
whether it was England or Scotland, but in one of
those countries in violation of a distancing law that prohibits
anybody even silently pray, silently praying. How do you know
someone silently praying? Maybe I was just now, maybe you
(23:36):
are right now, but this individual was standing outside an
abortion clinic. Now, I don't care what you think about
this is this is not a story about abortion. But
he's standing outside an abortion clinic. And whether it's England
or Scotland or maybe, but they both have a law
like this. We have a similar law in this country
(23:57):
that you can't do anything within a certain feet of
the entrance to an abortion clinic. You can't, you know,
talk to or harass or speak up or protest or
anything with uncertain distance. And that's fine. I think those
laws are probably reasonable and probably constitutional. But this guy
(24:18):
was standing on a public street silently praying. And let's
just say it was England. So some bobbies walk up
to him and ask him, what are you doing? Now?
I wouldn't have answered, maybe Iloyd said I'm standing here,
but he said I'm praying. Oh what are you praying about? Well,
(24:40):
I'm praying for an unborn child that my girlfriend and
I had aborted decades ago. And they arrested him for
doing that. That's thought that's that's a thought crime. That's
that's criminal. Fuck. He wasn't speaking, he didn't have his
(25:04):
hands in the air, he wasn't praying. Oh, dear Lord
deliver us. You know. No, he was not doing any
of that. He was silently praying, and advance just lambasted
Europe to their face for all of these laws that
they're enacting against free speech. There's another story that I
(25:25):
posted on next, another reason why you need to be
following about a guy that Now I want you to
think about this country first, forget Europe. I go out
in front of this building. It's private property, but I
have a right to be on this property. And I
take a Quran, or I take a Bible, or I
take a Torah, or I take oh I don't know
(25:46):
the Declaration of Independence or the United States Constitution. And
there is a little kind of fire pit like thing
out in front of this building. Most people just throw
cigarettes in it, and I just thought, I want to
burn one of these now, as long as I'm not
presenting any sort of you know, health hazard or fire hazard,
(26:07):
which this is not, because that's what it's for. Can
you imagine me getting arrested or burning. Let's say I
burned the Bible, I burn I burned the Constitution. I
you know, I always carry with me a pocket Constitution.
I decided to burn it because I decide I just
didn't liked the Constitution. Well, I decide I just want
to do it just because I'm exercising my right free speech. Well,
(26:29):
this guy was burning a qoran on a public street
and a Muslim with a knife comes running out of
some sort of musque, some sort of building and starts
to attack. The guy with a knife gets Guess who
gets arrested. Oh no, not the guy attacking the guy
(26:52):
burning the koran with you know, that's attacking with a knife.
He's got free. But the guy burning the korans in
jail for exercising his free speech by burning a crown. Vance,
he says. Vance said, when we see European courts canceling
(27:13):
elections and senior officials threatening to cancel other elections, we
ought to ask whether we're holding ourselves to an appropriately
high standard. What's he referring to didn't get much coverage
in this country, but Romania canceled elections, and they canceled
elections because they were afraid that the party. It would
(27:36):
be like if if Trump was a party. Let's say
Trump was running on the Trump Party, like the alternative
for deutsch Land, the a FD party in Germany, a
populist party in Romania. That's what was happening. They were
ahead in the polls, so the the Romanian officials just
canceled the election. Fundamentally undemocratic, that's fundamentally anti Western civilization.
(28:06):
And he went on to say, I say ourselves because
I fundamentally believe that we are on the same team,
and we must do more than just talk about democratic values.
He talked about Christian persecution going on, and then he
gets to foreign interference. This is a tough one, but
(28:28):
it's pretty easy to understand. After repeatedly blasting what Vance
referred to as Soviet era terms like disinformation or misinformation,
old Stasi regime terms, he turned to the establishment's usual shield.
(28:48):
We've seen it in this country, they use it in Europe,
Russian election interference, and he said this, you can believe
that it's wrong for Russia to buy social media advertisements
to influence her elections. We certainly do. You can condemn
Russia on the world stage, even but if your democracy
(29:09):
can be destroyed with a few hundred thousand dollars of
digital advertising from a foreign country, then your country wasn't
very strong to begin with. You never thought about it
that way. He's exactly right. We're faced with misinformation and
disinformation all the time. Some people on the left listening
(29:31):
to me, may accuse me of misinformation. In fact, I
know of several people to send me text messages to
think that what I'm talking about every single day, every
single weekend is miss and disinformation, and I'm like, okay,
then tell me how it is. And usually that's the
end of the conversation. He was saying this to these
leaders' faces, to which I say, to Shay, it's the
(29:55):
weekend with Michael Brown. Text the word Michael Michael to
three three one zero three. Follow me a at Michael Brown, USA,
I'll be right back. I never when I finish this
program without telling everyone how much I appreciate you tuning
in if you like what we do during the weekend,
I'd appreciate you tuning in during the week You can
(30:16):
do that by searching on you however, you listen to
radio during the week on your iHeart app or on
the computer search for six point thirty khow and I'm
on Monday through Friday from six to ten Mountain time,
or you can subscribe to the podcast. But I'd love
for you to come over and listen to me during
the week too. And I appreciate all of you listening
on the weekend. So We're talking about JD. Vance's speech
(30:40):
to the Munich Security Conference, and it truly is worth
your time, if for no other reason than to give
you a perspective from our national leaders about how far
down the crap hole that Europe is going. And it's
(31:00):
not just speech. They He also addresses what is probably
the hottest topic in Europe and this country. What do
you think that is? Of course, it's illegal immigration, and
Vance said this, I believe there is nothing more urgent. Yeah,
(31:21):
let me start over, because you know how I feel
about words. But I'm quoting him verbatim. I probably would
have used the same phrase in Europe because this is
the phrase that they use in our country because of
federal law, the term is illegal immigration illegal aliens. In
(31:45):
Europe they refer to it as mass migration. So don't
have you know, some don't have a heart attack when
I say those words. This is what his speech says,
verbatim quote, I believe there is nothing more than mass migration. Today,
almost one in five people living in this country Germany
(32:08):
moved here from abroad. That is of course an all
time high. It's a similar number, by the way, in
the United States, which is also an all time high.
The number of immigrants who entered the EU from non
EU countries doubled between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty
two alone. And we know the situation that did not
(32:29):
materialize in a vacuum. It's the result of a series
of conscious decisions made by politicians all over this continent
and others across the world over the span of a decade.
We saw the horrors wrought by these decisions yesterday in
this very city. What was he referring to, the Islamist
(32:53):
that got in his car and mowed down and killed
women and children with his car. Oh, you know, we've
seen that before right here in this country, he continued. Quote.
It's a terrible story, but it's one we've heard too
many times in Europe and unfortunately too many times in
the United States as well. An asylum seeker, often a
young man in his mid twenties, already known to police,
(33:16):
rams a car into a crowd and shatters a community.
How many times must we suffer these appalling setbacks before
we change course and take our shared civilization in a
new direction. No voter, he says, on this continent Europe
went to the ballot box to open the floodgates to
(33:37):
millions of unvetted immigrants. But you know what they did
vote for. In England, they voted for Brexit, and agree
or disagree, they voted for it, and more and more
all over Europe they're voting for political leaders who promised
to put an end to out of control migration. Now,
(33:58):
he says, I happen to agree with a lot of
these concerns, but you don't have to agree with me.
I just think that people care about their homes, their dreams,
their safety, their capacity to provide for themselves and their children,
and they are smart. I think this is one of
the most important things I've learned, he says in my
brief time in politics. Contrary to what you might hear
(34:20):
a couple of mountains over in DeVos, you know where
the World Economic Forum sits. The citizens of all our
nations don't generally think of themselves as educated animals or
as interchangeable cogs of a global economy, and it's hardly
surprising that they don't want to be shuffled about more
relentlessly ignored by their leaders. Bam Vance's speech is going
(34:45):
to doubtless cause an awful lot of consternation among those
elitis sitting right there. And in fact, we've already heard
from the progressive German Prime Minister, the German Chancellor that
oh yeah, I totally disagree with what he said. Well,
at the same time, the alternaty for deutch Land, the
FD Party, has already come out and said, yeah, in fact,
(35:07):
we'll sit down and talk to you because we agree
we got a serious problem. You know what the problem is.
The problem is jd Vance is sounding a clarion call
for freedom for those in Europe who have suffered under
the repressive regime with the globalists. He's kind of like
a Paul Revere riding through the night for the cause
of liberty. He rode right through Paris, right through Munich,
(35:31):
right through Brussels, aggressively waving the flag for America's founding values.
And it's about time somebody did. We're the leader of
the free world. We're the most powerful nation on this planet.
Do we really and are we willing to stand up
for those values that we believe in, for the principles
(35:54):
embodying in the Constitution, for the natural law that we
believe in, life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, that every
nation is sovereign that every nation can enforce its borders.
That's what we believe in Europe. Europe is truly like
(36:14):
your cousin that's going mentally insane and you just watch
it like I gave you or your brother or sister. Yeah,
I can't do anything about it. They're just going crazy.
That's some sort of of ambiguity that's end up costing us.
Congratulations to jd Vance. Everybody have a great weekend and
(36:37):
I'll talk to you next weekend.
Too night. Michael Brown joins me here, the former FEMA
director of talk show host Michael Brown. Brownie, no, Brownie.
You're doing a heck of a job the Weekend with
Michael Brown broadcasting life from Denver, Colorado. You're listening to
the Weekend with Michael Brown, and I'm really glad to
have you joining the program today. I really am. The
text line number, if you will to send me a
text message is three three one zero three three three
one zero three. Use one of two keywords Mike or Michael.
(00:24):
Tell me anything, ask me anything. And while you're at it,
why not look I have a lot of fun on X.
I'm kind of snarky. I'm kind of fun, sarcastic. I
know that comes as a shock to you. So if
you want to hear some breaking news and maybe see
some things that you might not otherwise see, go follow
me on X. My account on X is at Michael
(00:44):
Brown Usa. Go do that right now. So this hour
I want to get We're going to go to law
school this hour. And i want to go to law
school because I've heard from too many listeners and too
many friends, even at dinner the other night, about so
Trump's doing all of these things, signing all of these
executive orders, and yet all across the country, Democrats and
(01:10):
NGOs and different organizations, unions, you name it are all
running to federal district courts and getting injunctions to stop
Trump from doing what he says he's going to do.
And my answer is, yes, what do you expect? Of
course they are you know, people forget that anybody can
(01:33):
sue anybody for anything. If if I decide today that
I want to go sue you for some stupid reason,
all I gotta do is I don't have to I
don't have to hire a lawyer. Now, not because I
am a lawyer, but I don't have to hire a lawyer.
I can go to the I can go to the
federal district court and I can say, hey, can you
give me the form for a breacher contractor can you
(01:55):
get Or I can go to the public library, I
can go online, you can go all the all sorts
of websites will give you all these forms. And I
want to sue you because I think you defamed me,
you libeled me, or you breached a contract, or you
caused me bodily harm, you know, a personal injury case
or or you violated my civil rights someway, and so
all I gotta do is put together a complaint, which
(02:19):
is why it's called in federal court, and walk into
a courthouse in a jurisdiction where I live, the Federal
District Court of Colorado, or I could walk into a
federal district court where you live, the you know, the
Southern District in New York, which we talked about earlier today,
And so if you live in the Southern District in
New York, I could go see you in the Southern
(02:39):
District in New York. All I have to do is
go pay the filing fee, and that starts the process.
It doesn't mean I'm going to win. And in fact,
if the case is so frivolous, meaning there's no merit
to the lawsuit whatsoever, a judge you could file a
motion to dismiss and you could ask for sanctions based
on the fact that I filed or frivolous lawsuit. And
(03:01):
if you hired an attorney to do that for you,
you might get a judge to award you make me
pay your attorney fees to get that case dismissed. The
larger question is not you know, why are they suing, Well,
they're suing because they want to slow things down. They're
suing because they want to try to stop him if
they can, and they have a right to do it,
and Trump fully expected this. But what I want everyone
(03:27):
to calm down about is, don't be surprised by this.
This is normal course of business. It may delay things,
but I don't think it's ultimately going to stop things,
because the Supreme Court of the United States has already
rebuked all of these universal injunctions that are being used
(03:48):
to stop Donald Trump. So let's delve into that a
little bit. All across the country, these and most conservative sites,
conservative news organizations will refer to the judges as being
activist judges. I agree with that, but I don't like
(04:10):
using that term. And people will say you will say
to you, well, this is an Obama judge, or this
was a Reagan judge, or this was a Bush judge,
and all those things are true. I want to believe,
and you can call me night naive for this. I
want to believe that a judge is going to make
their decision based on what they believe, even though I
(04:31):
may think they're wrong. What they believe to be the
current interpretation of the law. So forget activist judges. Just
judges from usually left leaning cities or left leaning jurisdictions
are issuing what they call universal injunctions that force the
(04:53):
executive branch to pause, not stop. Pause. That's why they're
referred to as tros temporary restraining orders, a temporary injunction
meaning just pause for a moment. But this Sprine. Courts
(05:16):
already ruled that these universal injunctions are legally and historically dubious. Now,
let me explain. A nationwide or a universal injunction prohibits
the executive branch Donald Trump, or the Attorney General or
the Department of Energy, or whoever it might be. A
(05:38):
universal or a nationwide injunction prohibits the executive branch from
applying a law or a policy nationally, as opposed to
applying that pause or that injunction just in the jurisdiction
where the lawsuit is brought. Now, some states have more
(05:58):
jurisdictions than others. Has one federal district jurisdiction the entire
state is the Federal District Court of Colorado. In Oklahoma,
there's the Northern District, which kind of is the northeast
corner of the state. And then there's the Western District,
which is pretty much the western part of the state California.
(06:19):
I'd have to go look it up. California has numerous
federal district courts, and those are all normally when a
let's say a district court, a federal district court in
San Francisco, now I'm not talking about the appellate court,
I'm talking about the trial court. When that trial court
(06:39):
in San Francisco issues an injunction, the normal rule of
law is that injunction applies only to that jurisdiction. It
doesn't apply to the rest of the state of California,
doesn't apply Towayoming, it doesn't apply to Maine, it doesn't
apply to Texas. It applies to that jurisdiction because that's
the jurisdiction of that federal st judge. That judge sitting
(07:03):
in San Francisco has no jurisdiction to hear a case
in Maine. A federal district judge sitting in Colorado has
no jurisdiction over a lawsuit in Texas or New Mexico
right next door to us. So when they apply a
nationwide or a universal injunction, that says, you can't do
(07:26):
this anywhere in the country. My argument is, wait a minute,
you don't have the authority to do that. Let me
give you some details. Since taking office almost four weeks ago,
Trump has seen dozens of these executive orders and these
presidential memorandums getting challenged by federal courts and then temporarily paused.
(07:52):
Just let me give you three examples. A judge forced
Trump to continue funding child's side exchanges. Now, that was
one judge in one jurisdiction, but he applied that. Trump
said no more federal funding for child sex changes anywhere.
(08:15):
In fact, I think the executive order may have gone
even further and said no child sex changes anywhere. Now
you can argue whether that's constitutional or not, but that's
the case that I mean, that's what's to be decided.
But the judge said, I'm going to apply this nationwide. Now.
Then another example, two separate judges blocked Trump's freeze on
(08:40):
federal aid. You know when he said, hey, I'm going
to freeze all federal aid until we have a time.
We have time to audit. Now, Senator round Paul, let
me just stick to these examples. Another example is a
judge ban and Trump's federal buyout program that said, Hey,
(09:05):
if you want to resign your position in the federal government,
do so by a certain date. We'll pay you through
the end of the fiscal year, and then you're out
of here. But you're gonna quit working the minute you
agree to this buyout. Now, since then, that's already been reversed,
but a judge nonetheless tried to impose that nationwide. Now,
(09:28):
let's go over to Elon Musk, because Elon must seems
to be the bugaboo in all of these cases, because
he's been leading Trump's effort to cut government waste. Well,
he wrote over on X yesterday in response to this
wave of all these nationwide injunctions, he wrote this, if
any judge anywhere can stop every presidential action everywhere, we
(09:52):
do not live in a democracy. Now. Of course, you know, personally,
I got a bugaboo about the use of the word democracy.
If I I had been Elon Musk, I would have
written this, if any judge anywhere can stop every presidential
action everywhere, we do not live in a republic. Now
the Supreme Court actually agrees with him, but nobody talks
(10:15):
about this. In twenty eighteen, the Supreme Court overturned a
lower court's nationwide injunction on President Trump's travel ban during
his first term. Do you remember this case? Remember Trump
wanted to impose a travel ban on certain people coming
(10:37):
into this country. It was limited, but it was you know,
wherever you live. You know, if you are Muslim, we're
not gonna let you in the country until we can
fully vet you. In the majority opinion in that case
in twenty eighteen, just as Clarence Thomas said this, district
courts have begun imposing universal injunctions with that can considering
(11:00):
their authority to grant such sweeping relief. These injunctions are encouraged, encouraging.
These injunctions are encouraging forum shopping, judge shopping, and making
every case a national emergency for the courts and for
the executive branch. In some he says universal injunctions are
(11:21):
legally and historically dubious, and then he says one more thing.
I'll tell you what that is next. Hey, So we
came with Michael Brown, glad to have you with me.
The text line number is three three one zero three
three three one zero three. Use the keywords either Mike
or Michael tell anything, ask me anything. Remember I read
(11:43):
them all the time. And while you're on While you're
doing that, you must on your phone go over to
your app, your social media folder and follow me on
x It's at Michael Brown USA. So we're talking about
these nationwide injunctions because this is to be expected, said
that the progressive left is going to move in and
(12:03):
try to stop all of these executive voters. In fact,
they're going to try to stop everything. And I find
it fascinating because if you stop and consider, let's just
take doze for a moment, regardless of what you think
of Elon Musk, who cares about Elon Musk just because
he's a millionaire with Aspergers and he's got a close
(12:24):
relationship with Donald Trump? And who cares well? Why I
thought all you libs loved your tesla's and all of
a sudden, do you think he's a horrible individual if
you focus just on what he's trying to accomplish. Was
used to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse, to cut back
(12:44):
on government spending, to make the government more effective, even
more efficient. I find it fascinating. I don't find it unbelievable.
I find it fascinating that Democrats don't have. It's like
they're for waste, fraud, and abuse, because all they do
is bitch about Elon musk Oh, he's unconstitutionally appointed. He's
(13:09):
he's exercising the powers of the president. No, he's not.
He's not doing any of that. He's heading up a
team of a bunch of twenty somethings that are smarter
than you and I by about one thousand percent, to
go in and find out. Hey, let's let's find out
where money's being misspent, where money's being spent incorrectly or illegally.
Let's find systems, you know, all the IT systems that
are outdated and not working, not doing what they're supposed
(13:32):
to do, or ways that we could make it work
more efficiently, and then let's tell the president about that,
and then the president can freeze the funding or pause
the funding, or say let's put in a new IT system.
Yet all Democrats do is go out and chant f Trump, Wow,
that's the best you got. Come on, I guess that
(13:54):
means you're for an inefficient, ineffective government, which I know
you are, and you're actually four more spending, wasteful spending
because you're nothing but a bunch of grifters, and you're
using the nngos to fund your private sector cronies. That's
exactly what you're doing. So but we should not be
surprised by these lawsuits to stop this because Donald Trump
(14:19):
or anybody for that matter, doesn't make any difference anybody
that runs as a disruptor and that runs for president
and actually does what he says he's going to do
from the campaign. I think the DC establishment is scared
to death of that, because they do. They've got a
(14:40):
great grift going. They've got a one hell of a
deal that's been going on for decades while you and
I have been asleep. Now we haven't all been asleep,
but we have been screaming at our lungs just that
nobody's been listening to us, and the people that we
thought would do something proved to be absolutely worthless, truly worthless.
(15:02):
Now we're getting stuff done, which makes me pause for
a moment and remind you, I'm gonna kind of chew
you out a little bit here. The more we get
into this and the more that he starts turning over
the apple cart, breaking the china, doing all the stuff
(15:23):
that a bowl in a China closet would do at
some point he's gonna do something you don't like, Well,
don't let the one thing he doesn't like that he
does that you don't like cause you to then turn
around and say, I'm not gonna have any more of this,
because nobody's gonna do everything that you and I like.
(15:44):
But these lawsuits I think deserve some attention from us,
because take a deep breath, all of these lawsuits, in
one way or another, one or many of them will
rapidly reach the US Supreme And what I'm trying to
point out is that the Supreme Court has to some
(16:06):
degree already ruled that wait a minute, these national injunctions
that you keep throwing in front of him are already,
at least in a two thousand opinion Unlawful Justice, Thomas
wrote this, I'm skeptical that district courts have the authority
(16:32):
to enter universal injunctions. These injunctions did not emerge until
a century and a half after the founding of the country,
and they appear to be inconsistent with long standing limits
on equitable relief and the power of Article three courts.
If their popularity continues, this court the US Supreme Court
(16:53):
must address their legality. Here's the big picture. It's pretty
clear to me that these lower federal courts today are
doing everything that Justice Thomas warned about in twenty eighteen,
and many, if not all, of these rulings will likely
(17:14):
need to go to the Supreme Court to be corrected.
But in the meantime, the Democrats are indeed, they're delaying
the will of the American people who voted for Trump
to enact the policies that they are now using these
injunctions to block. But don't let that drive you nuts.
I mean, it will drive you nuts, but don't let
(17:35):
it discourage you, because I think the Court ultimately will say,
you know, you can't do this. You have jurisdiction over
your part, your district, and that's it. You can't do
this nationally, otherwise it'll be uttered chaos. It's the Weekend
with Michael Brown. Follow me on next, it's at Michael
(17:55):

Brown that you need and then go follow me on X.
And I really do want you to follow me on
X because this next segment that I'm about to do
is based on something that I posted on X yesterday
and I want you to go look at it. And
it's eighteen minutes and we have a technical problem and
(19:01):
I can't play pieces of it for you today because
of a technical goof up on my part, not on
Damien's part. But jd Vance was in Munich, Germany this
past week and he took a lecturing tone against a
bunch of European elitists at the Munich Security Forum. This
(19:26):
past week, he absolutely slammed these leaders who failed to
abide by the wishes of their own citizens, and he
condemned the censorship and the persecution of Conservatives, Christians and
others that's going on all across the continent, including the
United Kingdom. In Scotland, it was now whether you like JD.
(19:50):
Vance or not, or whether you like his speaking style
or not, this is one situation where I want you
to go look at I posted it's on my time X.
Don't do it now, but later today find a time
when you can watch this and you don't have to
listen to how he speaks, or just listen to the
(20:12):
words and remember his audience. It's a bunch of European
foreign ministers, prime ministers, generals, NATO officials, is a security
conference and he just lays it on him. I found
it fascinating, absolutely fascinating. And what's interesting is I'll tell
(20:36):
you so, I'll give you some quotes from him in
just a second. But what's fascinating about it is he
does use the phrase that there's a new sheriff in town. Well,
it should be obvious to anybody sitting in that room
that there's a new sheriff in town because he points
out that he's there on behalf of his boss, the
President of the United States of America, and they know
that every single word that he's saying has been approved
(20:58):
by the White House, and that this is how America
views Europe. Now, why do I get so excited about
this speech Because this is a speech that I would
have loved to have given. I love Europe. I've got
friends in Europe. I love the United Kingdom, and I
always separate them out now because of Brexit, you know,
(21:21):
they're not really part of the EU. Well, they're not
part of the EU anymore. But Europe is just a historically,
I mean, it's just rich with history. It's I would
nationally call it the birthplace of Western civilization. But you
think about the magnet heart of being birthed in England.
(21:42):
A lot of our values come from Europe, and now
Europe is just degenerating into a craphole continent. So, speaking
at the conference, Vance boldly declared that this new share
of is in town and that there is a new
(22:02):
American approach to our partners and our allies. He says,
we gather at this conference, of course, to discuss security
and normally we mean threats to our external security. But
it was clear after listening to the speech that he
was not necessarily talking about our external security, but the
(22:23):
threats to our internal security. In other words, he's saying
that what you are doing, you, as the elitists that
are in power in your countries and are in power
in the European Union, you're the threat to our values
that we hold dear. He said, the threat that I
(22:45):
worry the most about visa via Europe is not Russia,
it's not China, it's not any other external actor. And
what I worry about is the threat from within. He
talked about how Europe is retreating from the fundamental values
of free speech and democracy. He alluded to a person
(23:11):
in and I'm sorry, I forget whether it was the youth,
whether it was England or Scotland, but in one of
those countries in violation of a distancing law that prohibits
anybody even silently pray, silently praying. How do you know
someone silently praying? Maybe I was just now, maybe you
(23:36):
are right now, but this individual was standing outside an
abortion clinic. Now, I don't care what you think about
this is this is not a story about abortion. But
he's standing outside an abortion clinic. And whether it's England
or Scotland or maybe, but they both have a law
like this. We have a similar law in this country
(23:57):
that you can't do anything within a certain feet of
the entrance to an abortion clinic. You can't, you know,
talk to or harass or speak up or protest or
anything with uncertain distance. And that's fine. I think those
laws are probably reasonable and probably constitutional. But this guy
(24:18):
was standing on a public street silently praying. And let's
just say it was England. So some bobbies walk up
to him and ask him, what are you doing? Now?
I wouldn't have answered, maybe Iloyd said I'm standing here,
but he said I'm praying. Oh what are you praying about? Well,
(24:40):
I'm praying for an unborn child that my girlfriend and
I had aborted decades ago. And they arrested him for
doing that. That's thought that's that's a thought crime. That's
that's criminal. Fuck. He wasn't speaking, he didn't have his
(25:04):
hands in the air, he wasn't praying. Oh, dear Lord
deliver us. You know. No, he was not doing any
of that. He was silently praying, and advance just lambasted
Europe to their face for all of these laws that
they're enacting against free speech. There's another story that I
(25:25):
posted on next, another reason why you need to be
following about a guy that Now I want you to
think about this country first, forget Europe. I go out
in front of this building. It's private property, but I
have a right to be on this property. And I
take a Quran, or I take a Bible, or I
take a Torah, or I take oh I don't know
(25:46):
the Declaration of Independence or the United States Constitution. And
there is a little kind of fire pit like thing
out in front of this building. Most people just throw
cigarettes in it, and I just thought, I want to
burn one of these now, as long as I'm not
presenting any sort of you know, health hazard or fire hazard,
(26:07):
which this is not, because that's what it's for. Can
you imagine me getting arrested or burning. Let's say I
burned the Bible, I burn I burned the Constitution. I
you know, I always carry with me a pocket Constitution.
I decided to burn it because I decide I just
didn't liked the Constitution. Well, I decide I just want
to do it just because I'm exercising my right free speech. Well,
(26:29):
this guy was burning a qoran on a public street
and a Muslim with a knife comes running out of
some sort of musque, some sort of building and starts
to attack. The guy with a knife gets Guess who
gets arrested. Oh no, not the guy attacking the guy
(26:52):
burning the koran with you know, that's attacking with a knife.
He's got free. But the guy burning the korans in
jail for exercising his free speech by burning a crown. Vance,
he says. Vance said, when we see European courts canceling
(27:13):
elections and senior officials threatening to cancel other elections, we
ought to ask whether we're holding ourselves to an appropriately
high standard. What's he referring to didn't get much coverage
in this country, but Romania canceled elections, and they canceled
elections because they were afraid that the party. It would
(27:36):
be like if if Trump was a party. Let's say
Trump was running on the Trump Party, like the alternative
for deutsch Land, the a FD party in Germany, a
populist party in Romania. That's what was happening. They were
ahead in the polls, so the the Romanian officials just
canceled the election. Fundamentally undemocratic, that's fundamentally anti Western civilization.
(28:06):
And he went on to say, I say ourselves because
I fundamentally believe that we are on the same team,
and we must do more than just talk about democratic values.
He talked about Christian persecution going on, and then he
gets to foreign interference. This is a tough one, but
(28:28):
it's pretty easy to understand. After repeatedly blasting what Vance
referred to as Soviet era terms like disinformation or misinformation,
old Stasi regime terms, he turned to the establishment's usual shield.
(28:48):
We've seen it in this country, they use it in Europe,
Russian election interference, and he said this, you can believe
that it's wrong for Russia to buy social media advertisements
to influence her elections. We certainly do. You can condemn
Russia on the world stage, even but if your democracy
(29:09):
can be destroyed with a few hundred thousand dollars of
digital advertising from a foreign country, then your country wasn't
very strong to begin with. You never thought about it
that way. He's exactly right. We're faced with misinformation and
disinformation all the time. Some people on the left listening
(29:31):
to me, may accuse me of misinformation. In fact, I
know of several people to send me text messages to
think that what I'm talking about every single day, every
single weekend is miss and disinformation, and I'm like, okay,
then tell me how it is. And usually that's the
end of the conversation. He was saying this to these
leaders' faces, to which I say, to Shay, it's the
(29:55):
weekend with Michael Brown. Text the word Michael Michael to
three three one zero three. Follow me a at Michael Brown, USA,
I'll be right back. I never when I finish this
program without telling everyone how much I appreciate you tuning
in if you like what we do during the weekend,
I'd appreciate you tuning in during the week You can
(30:16):
do that by searching on you however, you listen to
radio during the week on your iHeart app or on
the computer search for six point thirty khow and I'm
on Monday through Friday from six to ten Mountain time,
or you can subscribe to the podcast. But I'd love
for you to come over and listen to me during
the week too. And I appreciate all of you listening
on the weekend. So We're talking about JD. Vance's speech
(30:40):
to the Munich Security Conference, and it truly is worth
your time, if for no other reason than to give
you a perspective from our national leaders about how far
down the crap hole that Europe is going. And it's
(31:00):
not just speech. They He also addresses what is probably
the hottest topic in Europe and this country. What do
you think that is? Of course, it's illegal immigration, and
Vance said this, I believe there is nothing more urgent. Yeah,
(31:21):
let me start over, because you know how I feel
about words. But I'm quoting him verbatim. I probably would
have used the same phrase in Europe because this is
the phrase that they use in our country because of
federal law, the term is illegal immigration illegal aliens. In
(31:45):
Europe they refer to it as mass migration. So don't
have you know, some don't have a heart attack when
I say those words. This is what his speech says,
verbatim quote, I believe there is nothing more than mass migration. Today,
almost one in five people living in this country Germany
(32:08):
moved here from abroad. That is of course an all
time high. It's a similar number, by the way, in
the United States, which is also an all time high.
The number of immigrants who entered the EU from non
EU countries doubled between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty
two alone. And we know the situation that did not
(32:29):
materialize in a vacuum. It's the result of a series
of conscious decisions made by politicians all over this continent
and others across the world over the span of a decade.
We saw the horrors wrought by these decisions yesterday in
this very city. What was he referring to, the Islamist
(32:53):
that got in his car and mowed down and killed
women and children with his car. Oh, you know, we've
seen that before right here in this country, he continued. Quote.
It's a terrible story, but it's one we've heard too
many times in Europe and unfortunately too many times in
the United States as well. An asylum seeker, often a
young man in his mid twenties, already known to police,
(33:16):
rams a car into a crowd and shatters a community.
How many times must we suffer these appalling setbacks before
we change course and take our shared civilization in a
new direction. No voter, he says, on this continent Europe
went to the ballot box to open the floodgates to
(33:37):
millions of unvetted immigrants. But you know what they did
vote for. In England, they voted for Brexit, and agree
or disagree, they voted for it, and more and more
all over Europe they're voting for political leaders who promised
to put an end to out of control migration. Now,
(33:58):
he says, I happen to agree with a lot of
these concerns, but you don't have to agree with me.
I just think that people care about their homes, their dreams,
their safety, their capacity to provide for themselves and their children,
and they are smart. I think this is one of
the most important things I've learned, he says in my
brief time in politics. Contrary to what you might hear
(34:20):
a couple of mountains over in DeVos, you know where
the World Economic Forum sits. The citizens of all our
nations don't generally think of themselves as educated animals or
as interchangeable cogs of a global economy, and it's hardly
surprising that they don't want to be shuffled about more
relentlessly ignored by their leaders. Bam Vance's speech is going
(34:45):
to doubtless cause an awful lot of consternation among those
elitis sitting right there. And in fact, we've already heard
from the progressive German Prime Minister, the German Chancellor that
oh yeah, I totally disagree with what he said. Well,
at the same time, the alternaty for deutch Land, the
FD Party, has already come out and said, yeah, in fact,
(35:07):
we'll sit down and talk to you because we agree
we got a serious problem. You know what the problem is.
The problem is jd Vance is sounding a clarion call
for freedom for those in Europe who have suffered under
the repressive regime with the globalists. He's kind of like
a Paul Revere riding through the night for the cause
of liberty. He rode right through Paris, right through Munich,
(35:31):
right through Brussels, aggressively waving the flag for America's founding values.
And it's about time somebody did. We're the leader of
the free world. We're the most powerful nation on this planet.
Do we really and are we willing to stand up
for those values that we believe in, for the principles
(35:54):
embodying in the Constitution, for the natural law that we
believe in, life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, that every
nation is sovereign that every nation can enforce its borders.
That's what we believe in Europe. Europe is truly like
(36:14):
your cousin that's going mentally insane and you just watch
it like I gave you or your brother or sister. Yeah,
I can't do anything about it. They're just going crazy.
That's some sort of of ambiguity that's end up costing us.
Congratulations to jd Vance. Everybody have a great weekend and
(36:37):
I'll talk to you next weekend.
