Speaker 1 (00:00):
To night. Michael Brown joins me here the former FEMA
director talk show host Michael Brown. Brownie, no, Brownie, You're
doing a heck of a job the Weekend with Michael Brown. Hey,
welcome to the Weekend with Michael Brown. Glad to have
you with me. I appreciate you tuning in. So here
are the rules of engagement for the program. They're pretty simple.
I think even you can follow them. You may, you
may have to work on it, but you can try.
If you want to send me a question or a comment,
(00:22):
you can do that on the text line. The number
on your message app on your phone or your computer,
whatever you're using is three three one zero three three
three one zero three. Just start your message with one
of two words, either Michael or Mike. Tell me anything,
ask me anything. And then, in terms of social media,
go follow me on X It's at Michael Brown USA,
at Michael Brown USA. Go do that follow right now,
(00:43):
and then if you like what we do on the Weekend,
you can also listen to the Weekday program, which airs
from six to ten Mountain time. You can listen on
your computer by going to khow dot com khow dot
com or on your iHeart app. Just search for six
point thirty khow in Denver and you can listen to
(01:03):
me on the during the week. Also, what else you
want to find out more about the program, just go
to this website, or as Mayor Bass would say, go
to the u r L, which is Michael says, go
here dot com. Michael says, go here dot com. A
few more things that I want to say about the fire,
(01:23):
but let's just save that to later because I want
to make sure there's a couple of other things that
I do get in. And one of those things that
I do want to make sure I get in is
that yesterday Donald J. Trump Junior, Donald John Trump Junior
became a convicted felon. Oh my gosh, this is worse
(01:44):
than January sixth. I think democracy will end. The Democrats
gut what they wanted. Democrat aligned, in fact, Democrat operative,
I would say. New York Judge Juan Murshaan sentenced President
elect Trump to on thirty four counts of business record fraud. Now,
(02:08):
the court imposed an unconditional discharge. Pretty simply means that
Trump's not going to serve any prison time, but he
will now officially be this convicted felon. Just before he's inaugurated,
what nine days from now, as the forty seventh president
of the United States. And I think that was the
main objective, that was the main aim of this particular
(02:31):
judge and his Democrat Party allies. Now, late Thursday night,
the US Supreme Court declined to intervene in the sentencing
in a five to four decision which included in the
majority Justice John Roberts, who knows better, and Justice Amy
Comy Barrett, who knows better. It's rule that they would
(02:53):
prefer to see the appeals process play out before involving
themselves in the case. Now, they also said that Merschaun's
public pledge to impose only an unconditional discharge, meaning they
weren't going to find him, jail him, put him on probation,
parole or anything, and not assign any prison time. That
(03:16):
that meant that this conviction would have a negligible, if
any effect at all on Trump's ability to perform his duties.
Now I do agree with that latter part. However, that
totally misses which is why Justice Alito, Justice Thomas just
to score such they all said that no, no, no, no,
(03:38):
we want to hear this case and we want to
hear this case because it involved our earlier decision about
presidential immunity. Now, why because what Alvin Bragg, George Soros
backed district attorney, and the Democrat operative did was a
actually used White House witnesses, and the White House witnesses
(04:03):
were used to testify about a crime involving federal finance rules.
The Federal Election Commission and the federal courts have sole
jurisdiction over federal election crimes. So why is this being
(04:23):
invoked in a state court? Now? Almost everyone agrees that
this case probably will be overturned on appeal, and I
agree with that too, But I have yet to hear
anybody say what I'm about to say. But just a little,
(04:44):
a little evidence or a little info for you to consider,
be if I tell you what I think is a
risk for Trump. So last year, twenty twenty four, a
jury found Trump guilty of dozens of cam ounce of
business record fraud, which had been elevated to felonies through
(05:06):
what's really a dubious legal theory that was pushed by
Alvin Bragg the DA. The theory was that, oh, by
violating these federal election rules, we now are able to
get by the statute limitations tie these together and have
all these different theories, and the jury could pick whatever
(05:26):
theory that they thought Trump might be guilty of to
get to that this was a federal election crime over
which it has no jurisdiction, over which one Sean has
the judge has no jurisdiction. So Bragg brought these thirty
four felony charges against Trump, penned almost all of the
case and testimony of Michael Cohen, who's a serial perjurer
(05:50):
and a disbarred lawyer. So this whole prosecution was part
of the larger lawfair campaign trying to in influenced the election.
It was brought by the Biden administration, by the Biden
Department of Justice and the Democrat Party. And in addition
to bragg prosecution, Trump also faced two federal trials and
(06:11):
that case down in Georgia where Fanny Willis and other
source back DA and the Democrat Party was trying to
influence the election. But only Bragg's New York case, arguably
the weakest. All of the cases successfully resulted in the
conviction and ascendency. Now, Mrshawn has repeatedly been criticized for
(06:34):
his partisan alignment with the Democrats. The judge's daughter, for example,
Laura Mischan, she has deep ties to the Democrat Party
and its candidates and all its political groups involved in
this partisan law. Fair she's actively engaged in raising money,
her husband's actually engaged in providing strategy. Kamala Harris, I mean,
it's just a really thesis show when it comes to
(06:56):
conflicts of interest and reasons why this case should never proceeded.
But nonetheless it has the jury reached a verdict I
think wrongly. I think the jury instructions gave the jury
so much leeway. And oh, he was also denied a change.
Trump was denied a change of venue a in a
(07:18):
borough of New York where something like, you know, eighty
percent of the people voted against him. So getting a
fair jury is probably not going to occur. So if
Andy McCarthy, Professor Turley, all the talking heads on Fox,
all the legal analysts, even even legal analysts on MSNBC
(07:41):
think that this case was a horrible case, and even
they believe that the case may be overturned. But here's
my concern. What if the appellate courts in New York
overturned the jury verdict and order New trial. Now, obviously
(08:02):
they could order a new trial, but they can't try
him as president. So that means that Trump would be
immune from prosecution until after his term is over. But
no one's mentioned that. No one's talked about that's one
(08:25):
of the options on appeal. Now, they could overturn it
and just say the jury verdict is wrong and we
dismissed the case. But they could also say the jury
verdict was wrong, and we dismissed the case, and so
and we dismissed the case for the following reasons that
the jury instructions were wrong. You should not have allowed
(08:46):
the Federal Election Commission crime to or the Federal Election
Commission allegations to be a part of the trial. And
so they could remand it back to the trial court
for a new trial. Now I don't think they'll do that,
but that's one of the risks that Trump runs. So
(09:07):
when his lawyers talk about, oh, we're pretty confident it's
going to be overturned, I would agree. I just hope
they're And maybe, you know what, maybe I'm wrong, but
I just know that courts have that ability to order
a new trial or to remand the case back to
the trial Court for a new trial based on the
(09:29):
new limitations that the Appellate Court in New York has
placed on the trial court. So I just want you
to put that in your pipe and smoke it and
think about it. It's the Weekend with Michael Brown. If

one of two names, Mike or Michael. Tell me anything,

at Michael Brown USA. So how many of how many
of you have laughed at the idea of Canada becoming
the fifty first state, which I never said. Why why
make Canada just the fifty first state? Why not? Listen,
We've got uh, let me see if I can remember. Rather,
(10:35):
I'm not gonna achieve, I'm not gonna look. So we
got British Columbia, Saskatchewan, we've got Manitoba, We've got Ontario,
we got Quebec, We've got Newfoundland, we got Nuntuck or
whatever's pronounced. And we got the Northwest Territories. Yeah, am
I missing any eight provinces? So why not add eight states?
(10:58):
Let each of the provinces become a new state? Excuse me?
Or you know how many of you laughed about the
Panama Canal? We did, We turned it over to Panama.
We didn't turn it over to China, turned it over
to Panama. And how many of you have laughed about Greenland?
Because that's the one, excuse me I got, That's the
(11:22):
one that I've laughed about the most. But not for
the reasons that you think I've laughed about Greenland. Because
everybody else is laughing about Greenland for all the wrong reasons,
because again, they don't know the history about Greenland, and
I think Trump does. And there are stories that are
beginning to break That indicate there was a lot more
(11:46):
conversations going on in the background about Greenland during the
first Trump administration than we ever knew about, and that
they actually may have been fairly close to reaching an
agreement for US to maybe expand our military military presence,
for US to perhaps expand maybe not control over the island,
(12:09):
but to exercise some you know, new trade agreements, some
new business and government investments, some new government spending, some
things to really take advantage of the strategic position and
the strategic mineral reserves that are in Greenland. But do
you know the history of it and why Trump's is
(12:30):
Trump is adamant. The other stories they are beginning to
break is that the Danish Foreign minister or Prime minister,
I forget which one, and the Prime Minister of Greenland
have all come out and said, in a kind of
a vague way, we're opening we're open to having discussions
(12:51):
with President Trump in his administration about how we can
work more closely together. In other words, they didn't act
like Peer or Pierre Justin Trudeau of Canada, the PM
of Canada, who just said that there's a way we
were going to become the fifty first state. No, Denmark
(13:11):
and Greenland both said hey, let's let's let's uh, let's
have lunch. Let's have lunch and see what we can
come up with. You know, during World War Two, we
kind of abandoned Greenland and there was an opportunity to
maybe do something, but I think we were a little
too naive and we didn't do something with Greenland. So
(13:33):
go back to World War two, and here's Nazi Germany
and they've got their iron grip on Europe, including Denmark,
who at the time was Greenland's colonial overseer. So Europe
falls silent because of Nazi Germany and the wars dragging on.
(13:58):
So the United States as not a conqueror, but as
a caretaker. Because Denmark had been essentially decapitated, Denmark couldn't
do anything. So we stepped in and we provided some
temporary help to Greenland, some temporary governance, some temporary oversight.
(14:20):
But we squandered the opportunity at the end of World
War II to do something. So here's some of the details.
In April of nineteen forty, Denmark just completely capitulated to
Nazi Germany in six hours. Six hours. That left Greenland
just a orphan had about eighteen thousand people on the
(14:43):
island at the time. The governor of Greenland at the time,
Esque Brune, made a shrewd choice to align with the Allies.
So while Denmark collaborated with the Nazis, Greenland became a
free agent the world stage. And we did at that
time we recognized how strategically important Greenland was to us
(15:06):
as a stepping a stone across the Atlantic. We recognized
it as a great base for weather stations, vital to
the convoys among the Allies, and we seized the initiative.
So Roosevelt authorized the military occupation of the nineteen forty
one Greenland Agreement that was broken by the Danes, and
(15:28):
it was an act of defiance that came at a
great personal cost, because as Denmark under Nazi occupation, when
they adopted their collaboration with the Nazis just trying to
maintain domestic stability. That capitulation by the Danish envoy, a
(15:49):
guy by the name of Kaufman, I think was his name,
that unilateral decision to side with the Allies was deemed
treasonous by Denmark because when he bypassed the capital Copenhagen,
which was effectively under Nazi control. Kaufman ensured that Greenland
(16:11):
would serve as an Allied stronghold rather than ever fall
into the hands of the Nazis or the Axis. That
enraged the Nazi authorities, but it also embarrassed Denmark's you know,
kind of capitulation their collaborative government. Kaufman's branding is a
(16:35):
trader that kind of created this tension between moral conviction
and political expediency in times of a national crisis. So
the ally the island became an Allied outpost, air basis,
radar stations, all which helped us in the fight against
the Axes. Wasn't just this giant slab of ice, It
was a fortress. It was a gateway. And those bases
(16:59):
that were establish during World War Two are still active
to today. So yes, Greenland is a strategic significant part
of our national security, not just for something you know,
between US and Europe, but between US and the Arctic.
And it has a practical effect. During during World War Two,
(17:23):
we effectively governed Greenland. The bases at Thule and Blue West,
they became lifelines for these transatlantic operations. We didn't have
the ability to fly you know, well, we could, but
it was much easier to have Greenland as a stopover.
What do we do though? We handed Greenland back to
(17:44):
Denmark without even so much as a negotiation, which I
think was a strategic blunder. And now we have a
chance to fix that blunder. A lesson from history. Go
read it. I'll be right back tonight. Michael Brown joins
me here, the former FEMA director of talk show host
(18:05):
Michael Brown. Brownie, no, Brownie, You're doing a heck of
a job the Weekend with Michael Brown. Hey, welcome back
to the Weekend with Michael Brown. Glad to have you
with me. I appreciate it. I appreciate you tuning in. Really,
do be sure and follow me on x It's at
Michael Brown USA. If you want to find out more
about the program and the weekday program, the other social
media platforms, all of that, you can go to this website, or,
(18:28):
as Mayor Bass would say, go to this url and
then wait and wait and wait. Oh yes, it's Michael, says,
go here dot com. So in the coming days you're
going to hear a lot, an awful lot about what
is FEMA pay for and what are they not going
(18:51):
to pay for and I want to talk about, not
necessarily in the context of these fires in California, but
just a little bit in the context of the fires.
FEMA does not make you whole. They're not going to
be They're not going to rebuild your home. They're not
going to replace all your clothes, your kitchen wear. They're
(19:14):
not going to buy you a new car. They're not
gonna buy they're not going to buy you a used car.
But many people have the idea that FEMA, established in
nineteen seventy nine under Jimmy Carter, somehow is this big
giant check book that's going to provide all of these things.
And it drives me crazy that the rules and regulations
(19:36):
that govern what FEMA can and cannot pay for, and
even more importantly, how much money is involved in doing that,
is so bureaucratic that one varies to some degree between disasters.
It depends in large part on how much you're able
to care for yourself. It depends in a large part
(20:01):
on whether or not you are insured or uninsured. And
even in cases where you don't have insurance, the dollar
amount is still going to be limited, and it's nowhere
going to make you whole. And in fact, my guess
is that most people in disasters, when they find out
how much money they're going to get from female, are
usually pissed off because they've been led to believe by everybody.
(20:25):
Because of this broad, generic language that all these government
officials use, people hear what they want to hear. And
so if you are involved in western North Carolina, where
we still have people that are about to be kicked
out of their temporary living accommodations might be an apartment,
(20:51):
it might be a rented mobile home, It might be
a hotel, it might be an airbnb, it might be
any number of things. But the fun and the timeline
for that is about to run out now. As I said,
another reason why you need to be following me on
x at Michael Brown Ussay's I talked about this during
the week because the news broke that just as a
(21:15):
winter storm was about to hit western North Carolina in
those in that mountainous region, that people are going to
be kicked out of their and their temporary housing assistance
was about to be cut off, and just either late
last night or early this morning, I forget which it was,
I learned that FEMA has now extended that for another
twenty four or forty eight hours, And I thought to myself, really,
(21:39):
twenty four to forty eight hours. Now, if you have
people that have nowhere else to go. There are provisions
within the original Stafford Act which created FEMA, that would
allow the FEMA director to make some exceptions to the regulations,
and they could extend that. Now, she may have to
go back to Congress and get some additional funding, But
(22:03):
why kick people out of temporary housing in the middle
of a winter store. It's cruel and inhumane. But if
you're only going to follow the rules, this is why
I say never rely on the government. If you're going
to follow the rules and regulations to a t, then
(22:23):
she's probably right it should have ended. But she did
exercise some flexibility to extend it for a day or two,
which then begs the question, why not extend it for
a week? Why not give people some notice that hey,
it's going to be a week. And I still question
why FEMA has not provided And there may be logistical reasons,
(22:44):
but I'd like to know what they are. Why haven't
trailers been provided? Why haven't they provided some assistance to
some nonprofits because there are a lot of nonprofits that
are building tiny homes, moving camp or trailers, in doing
all sorts of things. Is again that you need to
rely on that more so than you do the government.
(23:05):
But let's think about the fires for a second, because
no pun intended, this is going to blow up again
when people start doing their rebuilding. If your home had
damage and you're uninsured or underinsured, you might you might
(23:27):
be eligible for some help from FEMA to restore your
home to a liverabool condition. But that all depends upon
hundreds of factors. There's always the question of let me
take a subset of this for more. What I'm talking
about right now is individual assistance. You may have heard
(23:49):
that Biden authorized one hundred percent funding for the response. Well,
people here hundred percent funding and they think, oh, I'm
going to get reimbursed one hundred my loss. No, you're not.
What that means is they're going to reimburse the State
of California one hundred percent of their costs in fighting
(24:11):
the wildfires. So if they have to bring in firefighters
from other jurisdictions and they have to back in, those
other jurisdictions have to backfill because if you take a
firefighter out of Colorado. Someone's got to fill in for
that firefighter in Colorado, and that usually involves overtime. Well,
FEMA will now reimburse that. That's part of this one
(24:31):
hundred percent. And if it costs the State of California,
let's just put a stupid number of million dollars. If
it costs them a million dollars in firefighter wages over time,
for meals, for fuel, for whatever cost to go fight
a fire, they'll pay one hundred percent of that has
(24:54):
nothing to do with the individuals. Well, let's keep focusing
on government for a moment. It also means that if
they have to rebuild a public school, they'll reimburse one
hundred percent of that rebuilding of the public school. So
that takes that financial burden off those state taxpayers and
(25:15):
shifts it to everybody else because that money has to
come in from the Disaster Relief Fund, which comes into
the Congressional General Fund, which they have to appropriate money
out of, which means that all taxpayers all across the
country are going to have to borrow more money to
put that in to pay those costs. But even just
(25:39):
to show you how complicated that is, when you start
rebuilding a school. The regulations say that you can only
pay for the costs that it would take to rebuild
the school to its pre existing condition, meaning that you
can only charge or you can only pay for what
(26:01):
it would cost to build the school back to the
way it was when it burned. Well, if you're going
to build the school back, you're going to build back better,
aren't you. And that they're Democrats phrase, we're going to
build back better. Well, nobody's going to build a school
back to old codes or old standards. They're going to
you know, they're going to have new air conditioning systems,
(26:22):
HVAC systems. They're not going to put in an old,
pre existing HVAC system. They're going to go buy a
new one. So then you get into this battle between
the federal and the state government about what's reimbursable and
what and what's not reimbursable. It becomes so convoluted because
now I having thrown in another contingency. Think about the
(26:44):
time it takes for the engineers to battle, because you'll
have government engineers, state engineers, and then the contracting engineers
that are rebuilding a school, and they're all going to
be arguing about okay, well, how much is it going
to cost to rebuild the school, and how much of
that is to get to the pre existing condition, and
how much of that is to get it to the
(27:04):
you know, what it cost to build it to put
in a new h back system. Those arguments and those
debates take time. It's going to take a long time
for this to occur. That's for state or public projects.
Think about individuals. The first thing that FEMA does is
(27:26):
they tell you you've got to look to your insurance. Well,
but what about if you right now don't have all
your clothes are burned, you don't have any clothing except
what you have on your back, and you've moved into
an airbnb. You might get some assistance to help pay
for part of that air and BnB. But what if
(27:46):
you moved into a vacant apartment. Not that I know
the vacan departments available in the Los Angeles area right now,
but if there were you move into a vacant apartment, Well,
you have lean furniture, you don't have any cookware, you
don't have any you don't have any kitchenware, So you
might get reimbursed some of the costs for that. The
point I want to make is. It's simply not going
(28:08):
to make you whole, and you're going to run into
a bureaucratic morass that's just going to frustrate the hell
out of you because they have all these rules and
regulations to follow at the same time that you're in shocked,
you've lost everything. And again, it doesn't have to be
the California fire. It could be a flood somewhere. It
(28:28):
could be a hurricane, it could be a tornado. It
applies across the board. So let's tone down the rhetoric
in the conversation to think that somehow FEMA is going
to come in and reimburse you for your expenses, because
that's the phrase that I hear that drives me crazy,
because they're not going to do that. Oh, they'll reimburse
(28:49):
you for some of the expenses, and they might reimburse
you partially for some of those expenses. Then you have
the next problem, and that's not a FEMA problem, that's
a California problem. I'll be right back. Hey, welcome back
(29:12):
to the Begkend with Michael Brown. Glad to have you

review when you do, too, because that helps build us
up in the list of podcasts and then just hit
subscribe and that gives you all five days of the
weekday morning program because it gives you this Saturday program too.
So back to FEMA for a moment. The other thing
that's going to happen, which is really not that much
related to FEMA, but it's going to cause people to,
(30:37):
I think, really start to stop and think about how
important local government is and state government is versus the
federal government. This is a civics lesson that I try
to give every opportunity that I have. We tend to
focus and I don't think it's right or wrong, but
(31:00):
we tend to focus so much on the federal government
because the federal government has become so intrusive in our lives.
There's virtually no aspect of our lives that's not regulated
by some level of government. But we often forget that
the federal government is only formed by the Constitution as
(31:20):
a part of an agreement among at the time thirteen
colonies thirteen states now fifty that we would have some
central national government that would take care of certain national issues. Now,
I think the Commerce Clause has been way overly interpreted
(31:40):
given way too many powers to the federal government. But
there are just certain things that need to be done nationally, immigration,
border security, national security, the military, and beyond that, there's
really not a whole lot that really ought to be
done at the federal level. It ought to be done
at the state level and most importantly at the local level,
(32:01):
which is why if you have an opportunity to serve
on a local border commission, you ought to do so.
There's an organization in Colorado called the Independent Independence Institute,
and you don't have to be a resident of Colorado
to attend this, but they have a class that they
give that is all about how to become involved in
(32:22):
local government. Now it is focused on Colorado, but you
can take the lessons learned there and apply it in
your state. So I would encourage you to go to
this website I too i dot org and the search
local government. I to i dot org and the search
local government, and you'll find a some classes that are
(32:46):
put on by a friend of mine named Kathleen Chandler,
and that will teach you. I'll give you an example.
It'll teach you how. And this is a real world
example of an individual that took the class got on
a local board. It may have been a library board.
I mean, it's something you know that you would think
(33:08):
is not significant. But that person went on to become
a member of the planning commission in a small community,
then became a member of the city council, and then
became a state representative and is now involved at the
state level. And so it's a way for conservatives to
do what liberals have been doing forever, and that's start slow,
(33:29):
start at the bottom, and build it from there. So
I would encourage you to go to EE TOI dot
org and look for that local government class and sign
up for it, because here's what's going to happen in California.
People are going to want to rebuild their homes. Those
homes may have been built twenty years ago, thirty years ago,
(33:53):
and now a lot's going to depend on their insurance too.
They're going to have to meet all of the new
our mental standards. Oh you can't have a natural gas
water heater. Oh you can't have natural gas heating. You
have to have an all electric home. And that's going
to increase the costs. And then you're going to look
at your insurance policy for the first time do you
(34:14):
have an insurance policy that covers all the replacement costs
or do you just have one that's going to cover
you know, what you ensured at the time, and now
costs have gone up, so they're they're only going to
pay you just pick a number out of my butt.
They're only going to reimburse you seventy five thousand dollars,
(34:37):
but it's now going to cost you one hundred thousand
dollars to rebuild your house. You see, they're all of
these factors that people don't think about until the proverbial
feces hits the fan and then suddenly it's like, oh
my god, I can't afford to do this. Well, that's
because people didn't pay attention to what state government was
(34:59):
doing or local government was doing in terms of ordinances,
or in terms of new building codes, or in terms
of new you know, environmental standards that everybody has to meet,
the same environmental standards that they voted on in California
that are now making these wildfires even worse than they
should have been, are now going to impact homeowners and
(35:19):
businesses when they start to rebuild, and everybody's going to
be furious. Now, don't take what I'm about to say wrong.
But part of that makes me happy, you know why,
because maybe, just maybe people will wake up and revolt
against the stupidity that's been going on right under their
(35:42):
noses that they haven't been paying attention to because they're
too busy doing other things. And I know we're all
busy doing other things. But while we're busy doing other things,
the governments just putting more and more mandates on how
you live, what you live in, what you drive, what
kind of car that automobile manufactures can manufacture, all of
the emission standards, the net zero bull craft that we're
(36:05):
now being forced to live with. All of that's going
to cost Californians and anybody else that gets hit by
a disaster, which is why you need to be involved.
And so maybe, just maybe people will wake up to this.
Maybe there's some good in this. It's not going to
be easy to see until you actually start doing it,
(36:28):
because right now they're still just trying to figure out
what the hell happened to us. It's the weekend with
Michael Brown. Thanks for joining me. Everybody, have a great Saturday.
I'll see you next Saturday.
