To night.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Michael Brown joins me here the former FEMA director talk
show host Michael Brown.
Speaker 3 (00:04):
Brownie, no, Brownie, You're doing a heck of a job.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
The Weekend with Michael Brown. Hey, welcome to the Weekend
with Michael Brown. Glad to have you with me. Forgive
the old frog in the throat. I've been on an
airplane for the past I don't know, seems like umpteen
hours thanks to United Airlines not being able to get
off on time. But hey, I made it back in
time for the program, So glad to have you with me.
You're the rules of engagement. If you will send me
(00:27):
a text message, feel free to do that. The number
on your message app is three three one zero three
three three one zero three. Just start your message with
the word either Mike or Michael, either one of those
two words, and tell me anything or ask me anything.
In fact, today might be a good day to send
me a text message and ask me anything, because I've
(00:47):
been on vacation for a week, and as much as
I've tried to stay away from the news, I did
spend most of last night on a red eye back
from Hawaii doing some shelw prep. So I do have
some stuff, but honestly, I didn't, at least for the
first few days. I really didn't pay much attention to
the news. You know, it takes you a few days
to get into vacation mode. And then once I got
(01:09):
into vacation mode, then I was just sitting in just
all the time, laying by the pool or laying by
the beach and reading the news. What kind of life
is that? What kind of vacation is that? Well, that's
because that's what I enjoy doing. Let's you know, read
a couple of books too, So got that out of
the way too. So where do you want to start.
(01:31):
Let's start with something that I think people might be
worried about. But I got some good news for you.
Still have to worry about this Kamala Harris's campaign to
become the next president of the United States of America
or maybe or maybe just to continue in her current
job as the president, because I'm really not sure who's
the president. Her campaign has surpassed one billion dollars in
(01:52):
fundraising since its inception. Now, remember its inception wasn't like
a year or two years ago. Her campaign was like,
you know what, seventy days or so something ago. But
despite the fact that she's raised or surpassed one million
dollars in fundraising, she's still losing granted Donald Trump in
(02:14):
several key swing states. Now, the fundraising began with a
surge of donations the minute that Joe Biden stepped aside.
Every tech giant, every billionaire, with maybe the exception of
Elon Musk, all got off their check books or their
credit cards or you know. However, they funneled their money
through Act Blue and sent her a big fat ass check. Yeah,
(02:39):
over a billion dollars. Let's see it's back on July
twenty first, I think she collected eighty one million dollars
within a day, climbing over to one hundred million dollars
by July twenty two. In August, her campaign reported raising
three hundred and sixty one million dollars, escalating its FUNE
(03:00):
reading total to over six hundred and fifteen million dollars.
That's a boatload of money. Now, if you live in
a decidedly blue state like I do in Colorado, I've
seen very few Trump or Harris commercials, and the ones
I have seen I didn't Well, first, let's go back
(03:20):
to Hawaii. Didn't watch any TV in Hawaii. I didn't
watch any TV. It was wonderful, but considering how blue
Hawaii is, I probably didn't miss anything in August. Let's
see where where was I?
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, September's figures have not been disclosed yet. Now in Pennsylvania,
which is a pitiful pivotal state for both campaigns, Republican
factions have invested about two hundred and twenty two and
a half million dollars in presidential race advertisements two hundred
and twenty two million dollars in Pennsylvania loone. And it
(03:59):
looked it's like, at least to some of the trend lines,
Trump is ahead in most of the swing states save
one or two, seems to be pulling ahead in Pennsylvania.
And it just seems to me that Mal, you know
what Trump listen. I haven't checked the mail yet. I
(04:21):
haven't been home yet, so I don't know. Uh, well,
I do know, because I get the stupid you know
post a service that you know your daily digest of
what your mail is. So if it's all junk mail,
and I know all you postal workers get upset when
I use term junk mail. When I get all the
book mail, I don't go to the post. I don't
(04:41):
go out to the mailbox until it's either stuffed full
or there's something like my ballot there, and I go
get my ballot. So, despite this large amount of cash
that Harris has, they've just been unable to move the
poll numbers substantially or even meaningfully. And in recent days,
Trump's been improving in a lot of the polls. Now,
(05:03):
the betting have you heard of these betting markets? Surely
you have people actually place real bets on the race,
you can. They've got betting markets for senate races, goobernatroyal races.
But the one that's that most watch. Actually there are
three of them, bet Fair, Polymarket, and Boyen. Now all
(05:26):
of them put Trump ahead of Harris with a betting average,
betting average giving Trump a fifty two percent chance of winning.
Uh what is it now?
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Four not even four weeks away? Anyway, let's see Trump's
ahead of Harris. Where's where are my numbers? Fifty two
chance of winning compared to Harris's forty six point four percent.
Pretty dang good. Gods say that's really good now. Swing
State polling suggests that Trump I showed this to my
(06:02):
wife yesterday. She didn't believe me. Here it is look
swing state polling, you go to the real clear politics average.
Trump could win at least two hundred eighty Electoral College votes,
more than enough to meet the two seventy required to
win the presidency. I think trend lines are there, and
(06:23):
I think what the Harris campaign is suffering from the
same thing that she ran that she suffered from when
she ran for president the last time, and that was
she's an airhead, she's an empty suit. There truly is
nothing there. I do confess. I did watch the sixty
minutes interview. Holy crapp ol what was that? What was that?
(06:44):
And now have you seen where they've taken out look?
And there's precedent for this too. I'd have to go
back and research it. But numerous transcripts of different interviews
done by sixty minutes and other new stations around the
country have released the transcripts of the actual interview of
(07:06):
different interviews that they've done. Because you almost always sixty
minutes is what sixty minutes? Well, actually it's about forty minutes,
but with all the commercials, but you in forty minutes,
you probably interviewed Kamala Harris for what ninety minutes an
hour and a half, give or take. Well, release the transcript,
(07:30):
because I'd like to see what some of the words
sell it was that she used when they asked her
some really tough questions like you know, you say you
own a gun? What kind of gun is it? And
she cackles and laughs about you know, I one o'clock
and oh ha ha ha, yeah, and I've shot it too. Okay,
what about your changing up positions? What about Trendo Ragua,
(07:54):
the uh, the Venezu wedding gang that's infecting cities all
over the country. What about you letting all of them in?
Bill Whitaker actually pressed her a little bit on the
flood of illegal aliens coming into the country, and she
talks about, you know, needing a path, you know, a
serious path for citizenship, amnesty. She's basically arguing for amnesty. Well, okay,
(08:16):
if you really want amstey, then tell us that's what
you really want. I'd like to see the transcript of
what she actually said, because I frankly don't believe that
sixty minutes told us the truth about everything. And why
do I think that? Well, I forget where she was
she's in. Somebody should make this a TV ad. I
(08:38):
don't know where she was. Listen to this, Listen to
the SoundBite.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
I'm number his number thirty two said, we got thirty
two days until the election. So thirty two days, hey,
two days, Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
We got some business to do.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
We got some business to do, all right, thirty two days,
and we know we will do it. And this is
gonna be a very tight race until the very end.
This is gonna be a very tight race until the
(09:25):
very end. We are the underdog, and we know we
have some hard work ahead.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
You know what she was doing. She kept repeating the
number thirty two because that's where the teleprompter broke, and
she had no idea what to say after that. This
is the Weekend with Michael Brown. Glad to have you
with me. Be sure and send a text message number
three three one zero three. You just start to mess
you with the word Mike or Michael. Hang tight, I'll
(09:51):
be right back. Hey, welcome back the Weekend with Michael Brown.

Speaker 7 (10:09):

hit subscribe and then you'll get all five days of
the weekday program and the weekend program and boom, you
get all you need. So one thing that I did
come across in doing show prep on the plane is
that former President Barack Obama has come out of the woodwork.
So you know that things aren't going well. When Hillary Clinton,
when Bubba Will Clinton, Barack Obama. I'm just waiting for
(10:54):
Michelle my Bell to come out. When they all come
out and start campaigning for Harris. You know she's probably
in deep doodoo because none of them really like Kamala
Harris because he goes back to that twenty twenty race
she couldn't get one vote. Now, I don't think it's
(11:16):
going to be a blowout, but I do believe that
what we're beginning to see is the tail end of
a campaign where the trend line starts to diverge and
the betting markets are starting to show I mean the
betting markets. I guess it was maybe Thursday or Friday.
I don't even know what was going on in the news,
but something happened on Thursday or Friday that caused the
(11:38):
betting markets to just suddenly diverge completely. I mean, Trump
just soored up to some fifty four points and Harris
drops down to some forty six points. And those are
people who are putting actual money on the line, so
they've got skin in the game. Well, Obama comes back
out and he's urging black men to support Kamala Harris
(12:00):
suggesting that black people's allegiance should be based on the
color of her skin and the chance to quote make history.
Why because because of Hergina tell you? I mean, is
that or because of rei Q? I mean, because I
(12:21):
really wonder well CJ. Pearson, who's a young black man
from I forget where CJ's from. I think he's from Georgia.
I got to know CJ. I don't know. It seems
like three or four years ago. He was just kind
of getting started. He wanted to get involved in politics
(12:42):
and asked for some advice and stuff. And so CJ,
who's now twenty two years old, comes out and talks
about Obama's statement.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
Also, I'm se J Pearson, one of the young black
men espects I know les it's supporting Kamala Harris just
because she quote looks like him. Now, guys, I don't
know about y'all, but I think that my ancestors fault
far too are for my right to vote.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
And this come.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
Try for me to support someone just because they looked
like especially that person who.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Looks like me. Isn't it a damn about me?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
He makes a great point, but this is Democrats identity politics.
Go vote for somebody, and that's what That's basically what
Obama was telling black men, Hey, get off your butts
and go vote for Kamala Harris because she's a black female. Okay.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
C J.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Pierson is saying, wait a minute. We fought for our freedom,
this country, fought for our freedom, fought to get rid
of slavery and thought so that I could make my
own choices. So why should I vote for someone just
based solely on their skin color. We'll see j because
that's how Democrats want you to vote.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
I'm not Hereris. Her entire approval career hasn't been a
single thing for Black people, black man, or anyone actually
for that matter.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
She'd got to secure the poor.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
She hasn't created a signal job.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
She is actually probably uniquely terrible at her job.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Barack Obama, another.
Speaker 7 (14:11):
Person who didn't do it damping for black people and
who was president, believe black men should set aside of
this sagreements, set aside.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Our agreementces, and just take one for the team, Barack.
We've been taking one for the team when it comes
to supporting the Democrat Party for decades.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
And what do we have to show for Our inner.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Cities are destroyed, Lent crime is up, we are living
in poverty and far many too many communities across this country.
That is the reality of progressive policies in this country
and all across America. To know, Barack, I'm not gonna support.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
Kamala Harris because you said that that is my duty
as a young black man.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
No, I'm going to support Donald Trump, the president who
actually delivered for black people. Part about the lowest black
funt in fulor raidar nation's history. The president who actually
gave a damn about our community. That's not rocket science, Barack,
it's common sense.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
It is. It's common sense. What has have you ever
thought about? What has Kamala Harris done for black people?
When she was the attorney general, she decided to go
after truancy. Yes, here is a black mother's story about
(15:20):
Kamala Harris going after truant children.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
I intend to fight for black lives matters.
Speaker 8 (15:29):
I intend to fight if black lives matters for her.
Why didn't I matter?
Speaker 6 (15:35):
Because of truancy? California public schools lose one point four
billion dollars a year in funding.
Speaker 8 (15:42):
I want money, I don't.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I don't agree what my Kamala Harris did to my mom.
Speaker 9 (15:50):
So I decided I was going to start prosecuting parents
for truancy.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I've been a majority of my time here to host.
Speaker 8 (16:01):
When Kamala Harris was the California Attorney General, she had
me arrested and prosecuted because my handicapped darter was sick
in the hospital and had missed some days of school.
Speaker 10 (16:12):
I have sickle cell anemia.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Cil cell anemia is a hereditary disease and it is very,
very teen.
Speaker 8 (16:22):
In twenty twelve, like all California parents, I received a
threatening letter from Kamala Harris saying, we'll go to jail
for a year if our kids even missed ten percent
of school days.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Little did I know there was a warrant house for
my arrest.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
All of a sudden, the police is outside my house
and they started banging on the door. They told me
I was under arrest for my child missing school.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
I was shocked. I said, but my baby is sick.
The school knows that.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
And they said, go talk to Kamala Harris. Place your
hands behind your back.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
And my mom did nothing wrong. We did everything we
were supposed to. I was always bringing doctor's notes. I'm
always calling the school to let them know that I
was in the hospital.
Speaker 8 (17:12):
But my hell was just beginning. They gave me two charges.
I spent the next two years in court fighting these charges.
Kamala assigned her nastiest prosecutors to my case.
Speaker 10 (17:24):
My homicide prosecutors, my gain prosecutors, and they went over
there and I said, when you go over there, look
really mean.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
All the time I had to spend going to court,
I was struggling to care for my show.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
We are going to make.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
Sure that you faced the full force and consequences.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
Of the law.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
I lost my job and couldn't pay rent and we
got evicted. I became homeless. We had to move into
a motel.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
And can you imagine that the mother's little girl has
sickle cell and she's in the hospital.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Tonight Michael Brown joins me here, the former FEMA director
of talk show host Michael Brown.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Brownie, no, Brownie, You're doing a heck of a job
the Weekend with Michael Brown.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Hey, welcome back to the beginning with Michael Brown. Glad
to have you with me. Appreciate you tuning in. Hey,
if I can fly halfway around excuse me, not halfway,
I guess maybe a quarter the way around the world
to get back here and do this program and you
can tune in and listen all right. If you're looking
for an affiliate around the country, go to this website,
Michael says, go here dot com. Michael says, go here
(18:40):
dot com. You can pull down the tab on how
to listen, and you can find all the affiliates all
over the country with an interactive map, and you can
find a list under that that shows you when they
air the program and when they re air the program too,
because lots of affiliates do that, So don't forget to
do that too. Excuse me. This suffer through these allergies
(19:02):
in this soote throughout the entire program. So just deal
with it. So we're going back over this story about
Kamala Harris having this woman arrested in California when she's
was the Attorney General because she was going to clamp
down on truancy. That quite honestly, I don't have a
(19:22):
problem with clamping down on truancy. Too many kids skip school,
not that I ever did that, but too many kids
skipped school for too much time, and kids ought to
be in school right instead of running around the streets.
But here was This shows you that when you know
she talks about her values and never changed, this shows
you that when she was the Attorney General, she didn't
(19:46):
supervise her cases, or she didn't supervise the lawyers that
prosecuted the cases. She just put a broad strategy out there,
let's go after truance, all right. Well, part of being
a a good prosecutor is not just trying to get convictions,
(20:06):
but to seek justice. That's what a district attorney or
an attorney general is supposed to do. Seek justice. So
if you have a single mother whose child has been
missing a lot of school, you investigate before you prosecute.
Why is this kid missing school? What's the school done
about it? Does the school know about it? Does a
(20:29):
mother know about it? Rather than just going out and
issuing an arrest warrant, which is what they did in
this case. She said that she got a letter, and
let's just back it up. She says that she gets
this letter from Kamala Harris saying that they were gonna
clamp down in truancy. At the same time that she
(20:51):
gets the letter, she doesn't realize there's already an arrest
warrant for her.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
I intend to fight for black lives matters. I intend
to fight.
Speaker 8 (21:05):
If black lives matters for her. Why didn't I matter
because of truancy?
Speaker 6 (21:10):
California Public Schools was one point four billion dollars a
year in funding.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
I want money, I don't.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I don't agree what my Kamala Harris did to my mom.
Speaker 9 (21:24):
So I decided I was going to start prosecuted for
parents for truancy.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
And I've been a majority of my time here in
the Hospel.
Speaker 8 (21:34):
When Kamala Harris was the California Attorney General, she had
me arrested and prosecuted because my handicapped daughter was sick
in the hospital and had missed some days of school.
Speaker 10 (21:46):
I have sickle cell anemia.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Civil cell anemia is a preditary disease and it is very,
very teenful.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
In twenty twelve, like all California parents, I received a
threatening letter from Kamala Harris saying, we'll go to jail
for a year if our kids even missed ten percent
of school days.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Little did I know there was a warrant house for
my arrest.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
All of a sudden, the police is outside my house
and they started banging on the door. They told me
I was under arrest for my child missus school.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
I was shocked. I said, but my baby is sick.
The school knows that.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
And they said, go talk to Kamala Harris. Place your
hands behind your back.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
And my mom did nothing wrong. We did everything we
were supposed to. I was always preaking doctor's notes, always
calling the school to let them know that I was
in the hospital.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
But my hell was just beginning, and they gave me
two charges. I spent the next two years in court
fighting these charges. Kamala assigned her nastiest prosecutors to my.
Speaker 10 (22:57):
Case, my Mama side prosecutors, my gain prosecutors, and they
went over there and I said, when you go over there,
look really mean.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
All the time I had to spend going to court,
I was struggling to care for my show.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
We are going to make sure that you faced the
full force and consequences of the law.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
I lost my job and couldn't pay rent and we
got evicted.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
I became homeless.
Speaker 8 (23:27):
We had to move into a motel.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
And I ended up being in the hospital a lot
during her trial. And not hospital stay was when I
had my stroke.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
I had a.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Struggle about days ago.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Now I'm doing pretty good. I can he's doing okay.
Speaker 9 (23:48):
Let's be clear of my values have not changed.
Speaker 8 (23:51):
Look, I am not a political person, but I want
people to know what Kamala Harris has did to me.
If she do it to me, she will abuse anyone
if you give her the power.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
A Trogan program, I got a lot of criticism.
Speaker 9 (24:07):
You actually locking my own No, we never locked anybody up.
We did prosekuston case.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
She just told that host of radio program if They
never locked anybody up. But this woman got locked up.
Then she goes on she's at some Commonwealth club in California.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
If she do it to me, she will abuse anyone
if you give her the power.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
The Trogan program, I got a lot of criticism you
actually locking my own.
Speaker 6 (24:37):
No, we never locked anybody up. We did prosekust some cases.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
We did prosecute some cases. Yeah, and you didn't supervise them.
You didn't find out what was really going on. Now,
if she would do that as the attorney general, imagine
what she would do as the president with an entire
Department of Justice.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Nobody he'll be safe only about twenty So my message
to all Americans, especially black Americans, do not trust Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
And if you want to see that full interview arrested
by Kamala dot com. Arrested by Kamala dot Com. I
don't normally get those out, but this story to me
says so much about Kamala Harris. You know, when people
get even you've seen this, whether it be you know,
(25:36):
somebody at your work, somebody that you know that's uh,
you know, a newly minted you know, security guard, and
make it be anybody, you give them a teeny little
bit of power and they go backcraft crazy with it.
And that's exactly what Kamala Harris did, is the Attorney
General and her failure to supervise the cases and her
(25:57):
failure to set the standard for her prosecutor about what
cases you should go after and how you should look
into every case. Before you, you know, you start throwing
people in jail, maybe you oble to find out all
the facts about it. It's called an investigation. And as well,
we expect law enforcement to do before you issue and
arrest warrant is actually go out and investigate the case,
(26:19):
see if a crime's been committed, if there's probable cause,
and if there is, then you can arrest somebody. Then
you can take them before you know it, in front
of a judge for a preliminary hearing. Let the judge
determine whether there's probable cause to hold them over for trial.
Hold them over for trial there is, and if not,
have it dismissed. This woman. If she really does get
(26:41):
a hold of the Department of Justice, I think there'll
be a whole lot of people in this country there
will be in a lot of trouble a lot of trouble,
but not for doing anything wrong. It will simply be
a continuation of the law fair that's already begun under Joe.
And she sat there for the past four years now
(27:04):
watching law fair against Donald Trump, watching law fair against Oh,
I don't know, parents would go to school board meetings
or people that protest in front of abortion Clintons, and
she'll go after people that she doesn't like, just like
Hillary Clinton. You're gonna hear later. Hillary Clinton was talking
last week about how we need limit free speech because
(27:26):
the platform's out of control. There's too much misinformation out there. Really,
this is who these people are. They want to control
every aspect of your life, unless, of course, you're a
woman running an abortion and then everything's you know, it's
just free reiin. She's absolutely losing it.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
So when we think about what's at stake in this election,
well it's packed with some stuff. Fit's back with some fundamentals.
Speaker 8 (28:03):
Stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
I say rather articularly, I say rather articulately, or whatever
else she was trying to pronounce. Uh. Really, so when.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
We think about what's at stake in this election, well
it's packed with some stuff. Fit's back with some fundamentals stuff.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
I say rather articularly.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I could have sworn maybe your staff had told her
to stop the cackle, but apparently not. It's the weekend
with Michael Brown. Text the word Michael or Michael this
number three three wednesdero three. Tell me anything, ask me anything.
Hang tight, I'll be right back. Hey, welcome back to
came with Michael Brown. Glad to have you with me.
(29:02):
You sure and follow me on x formally Twitter. It's
at Michael Brown, USA. Go do that right now. You're
not doing anything else. So as I truly believe Kamala
Harris will weaponize the Department of Justice even more so
than what Joe Biden has and I she'll weaponize it
against social media platforms that fail to censor hate or
(29:26):
misinformation to her liking. She said that back in twenty nineteen,
and it's now going viral. You'll hear it in just
a minute. In a speech to the National Association of
the Advancement of Colored People the NAACP in Detroit while
she was running back in twenty twenty, then Senator Harris
says she would quote put the Department of Justice in
(29:48):
the United States back in the business of justice. We
will double the Civil Rights Division and direct law enforcement
to counter this extremism. We will hold social media platforms
accountable for the hate infiltrating because they have responsibility, responsibility
to help fight against this threat to our democracy. Oh
I'm so, let's stick of that phrase. And if you
(30:09):
profit off hate, if you act as a megaphone for
misinformation or cyber warfare, if you don't police your platforms,
we are going to hold you accountable as a community.
What hell does that mean? So look, other than Twitter,
I really don't give a rat saz about most of them,
(30:32):
but they're a community, and so if you go after one,
you're going to go after them all quote. We are
going to hold you accountable as a community. So if
(30:52):
if one car company does something bad, you're going to
go after all car companies. Or if one radio station
makes a mistake, you're gonna go after all radio stations.
You know, if she weaponizes the Department of Justice in
that way, I think that would lead and you know,
(31:14):
I got a big bugaboo about this, It would lead
to a significant abridgment of our First Amendment rights, with
hate so called air quote hate being subjective, and the
authorities definition of whatever misinformation is, Who's going to decide that?
(31:34):
But I think we have to stop asking the question
who's going to decide that and instead start with the
premise that misinformation, disinformation, malinformation, whatever prefix you want to
put in the word in front of the word information,
because it's all information or hate speech really. You know,
(32:01):
as I was leaving, so I was leaving the airport
in Hawaii, I thought I'd seen this at Denver International.
But TSA now has signs up that say something about
the following four or five things are prohibited. One of
them is verbal abuse, And I thought, oh, well, hang
(32:24):
on a minute. Now, there may be consequences if I
want to verbally abuse someone working for TSA, I may
end up getting a rectal examination before I can pass
through security, or I'll be held up long enough until
my flight's already gone. But if I went to verbal
(32:44):
abuse someone you know that's protected by the First Amendment,
now I may get punched out. But it's like you
can give a cop the finger, you can yell and
scream at a cap up. How many riot cops have
you seen lined up in full riot gear with protesters
(33:08):
right in their face, right up next to the shields,
just screaming, spitting all over them. Well, it's a protected speech. Yeah,
So what's with this idea that we're going to eviscerate
the First Amendment because we don't like what's being said?
(33:29):
And since when do I lose my First Amendment right?
And by the way, what's verbal abuse? You know? If
I tell somebody at TSA, then I think they're doing
a you know.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
A.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Crappy job. I'd like to use a different word. I
think you're using You're doing a crappy job. Is that
verbally abusing them? I have I have a right to
tell them that. Now that mean that my bag gets
pulled aside, it gets swabbed. They take their time, they
go to do all this. There'll be consequences. But to
(34:04):
tell me that I can't do that, or for her
to tell us that this is what she's going to
do she gets elected, Holy crap, what's wrong with us?
Speaker 6 (34:16):
And We'll put the Department of Justice of the United
States back in the business of justice. We will double
the Civil Rights Division and direct law enforcement to counter
this extremism. We will hold social media platforms accountable for
the hate infiltrating their platforms because they have a responsibility
(34:41):
to help fight against this threat to our democracy. And
if you profit off of hate, if you act as
a megaphone for misinformation or cyber warfare, if you don't
police your platforms, we are going to hold you accountable
(35:01):
as a community.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Hmm. Go back to this one part right here, listen
to this to.
Speaker 6 (35:10):
Help fight against this threat to our democracy.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
It's a threat to our democracy. If you know, Democrats
are so good at projection, they're so dang good about
talking about this threat to democracy when what she's doing
right there is indeed a threat to so called democracy.
It's a threat to the very basis of freedom in
(35:35):
this country, freedom of speech. Again, you know, I can
go shout fire in a crowded theater. I can even
falsely shout fire in a crowded theater. There might be
consequences for doing the latter. But if there's a fire
in a theater, of course I can shout fire. But
(36:00):
they want you to believe, as they use the old
trope that you can't shout fire in a crowded theater,
that they want to weaponize the Department of Justice against Now,
look again, I don't care what you think about the
big tech tech platforms. But if I want to post
something to x or on Facebook or Instagram or anywhere
else and you don't like what I say, well sucks
(36:24):
to be you. But you know what you can do.
You can counter that with your own speech. You can
tell me how my argument sucks. You can you can
give me all sorts of reasons why my argument falls
fol in his face. But I have the right to
make my argument just as you have the right to
make yours, and doing so is not a threat to democracy.
(36:45):
It's the weekend of Michael Brown. Stay tuned, Texas Word Michael.
Michael to three three Wednesday, ERRO three. I'll be right
back
To night.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Michael Brown joins me here the former FEMA director talk
show host Michael Brown.
Speaker 3 (00:04):
Brownie, no, Brownie, You're doing a heck of a job.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
The Weekend with Michael Brown. Hey, welcome to the Weekend
with Michael Brown. Glad to have you with me. Forgive
the old frog in the throat. I've been on an
airplane for the past I don't know, seems like umpteen
hours thanks to United Airlines not being able to get
off on time. But hey, I made it back in
time for the program, So glad to have you with me.
You're the rules of engagement. If you will send me
(00:27):
a text message, feel free to do that. The number
on your message app is three three one zero three
three three one zero three. Just start your message with
the word either Mike or Michael, either one of those
two words, and tell me anything or ask me anything.
In fact, today might be a good day to send
me a text message and ask me anything, because I've
(00:47):
been on vacation for a week, and as much as
I've tried to stay away from the news, I did
spend most of last night on a red eye back
from Hawaii doing some shelw prep. So I do have
some stuff, but honestly, I didn't, at least for the
first few days. I really didn't pay much attention to
the news. You know, it takes you a few days
to get into vacation mode. And then once I got
(01:09):
into vacation mode, then I was just sitting in just
all the time, laying by the pool or laying by
the beach and reading the news. What kind of life
is that? What kind of vacation is that? Well, that's
because that's what I enjoy doing. Let's you know, read
a couple of books too, So got that out of
the way too. So where do you want to start.
(01:31):
Let's start with something that I think people might be
worried about. But I got some good news for you.
Still have to worry about this Kamala Harris's campaign to
become the next president of the United States of America
or maybe or maybe just to continue in her current
job as the president, because I'm really not sure who's
the president. Her campaign has surpassed one billion dollars in
(01:52):
fundraising since its inception. Now, remember its inception wasn't like
a year or two years ago. Her campaign was like,
you know what, seventy days or so something ago. But
despite the fact that she's raised or surpassed one million
dollars in fundraising, she's still losing granted Donald Trump in
(02:14):
several key swing states. Now, the fundraising began with a
surge of donations the minute that Joe Biden stepped aside.
Every tech giant, every billionaire, with maybe the exception of
Elon Musk, all got off their check books or their
credit cards or you know. However, they funneled their money
through Act Blue and sent her a big fat ass check. Yeah,
(02:39):
over a billion dollars. Let's see it's back on July
twenty first, I think she collected eighty one million dollars
within a day, climbing over to one hundred million dollars
by July twenty two. In August, her campaign reported raising
three hundred and sixty one million dollars, escalating its FUNE
(03:00):
reading total to over six hundred and fifteen million dollars.
That's a boatload of money. Now, if you live in
a decidedly blue state like I do in Colorado, I've
seen very few Trump or Harris commercials, and the ones
I have seen I didn't Well, first, let's go back
(03:20):
to Hawaii. Didn't watch any TV in Hawaii. I didn't
watch any TV. It was wonderful, but considering how blue
Hawaii is, I probably didn't miss anything in August. Let's
see where where was I?
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, September's figures have not been disclosed yet. Now in Pennsylvania,
which is a pitiful pivotal state for both campaigns, Republican
factions have invested about two hundred and twenty two and
a half million dollars in presidential race advertisements two hundred
and twenty two million dollars in Pennsylvania loone. And it
(03:59):
looked it's like, at least to some of the trend lines,
Trump is ahead in most of the swing states save
one or two, seems to be pulling ahead in Pennsylvania.
And it just seems to me that Mal, you know
what Trump listen. I haven't checked the mail yet. I
(04:21):
haven't been home yet, so I don't know. Uh, well,
I do know, because I get the stupid you know
post a service that you know your daily digest of
what your mail is. So if it's all junk mail,
and I know all you postal workers get upset when
I use term junk mail. When I get all the
book mail, I don't go to the post. I don't
(04:41):
go out to the mailbox until it's either stuffed full
or there's something like my ballot there, and I go
get my ballot. So, despite this large amount of cash
that Harris has, they've just been unable to move the
poll numbers substantially or even meaningfully. And in recent days,
Trump's been improving in a lot of the polls. Now,
(05:03):
the betting have you heard of these betting markets? Surely
you have people actually place real bets on the race,
you can. They've got betting markets for senate races, goobernatroyal races.
But the one that's that most watch. Actually there are
three of them, bet Fair, Polymarket, and Boyen. Now all
(05:26):
of them put Trump ahead of Harris with a betting average,
betting average giving Trump a fifty two percent chance of winning.
Uh what is it now?
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Four not even four weeks away? Anyway, let's see Trump's
ahead of Harris. Where's where are my numbers? Fifty two
chance of winning compared to Harris's forty six point four percent.
Pretty dang good. Gods say that's really good now. Swing
State polling suggests that Trump I showed this to my
(06:02):
wife yesterday. She didn't believe me. Here it is look
swing state polling, you go to the real clear politics average.
Trump could win at least two hundred eighty Electoral College votes,
more than enough to meet the two seventy required to
win the presidency. I think trend lines are there, and
(06:23):
I think what the Harris campaign is suffering from the
same thing that she ran that she suffered from when
she ran for president the last time, and that was
she's an airhead, she's an empty suit. There truly is
nothing there. I do confess. I did watch the sixty
minutes interview. Holy crapp ol what was that? What was that?
(06:44):
And now have you seen where they've taken out look?
And there's precedent for this too. I'd have to go
back and research it. But numerous transcripts of different interviews
done by sixty minutes and other new stations around the
country have released the transcripts of the actual interview of
(07:06):
different interviews that they've done. Because you almost always sixty
minutes is what sixty minutes? Well, actually it's about forty minutes,
but with all the commercials, but you in forty minutes,
you probably interviewed Kamala Harris for what ninety minutes an
hour and a half, give or take. Well, release the transcript,
(07:30):
because I'd like to see what some of the words
sell it was that she used when they asked her
some really tough questions like you know, you say you
own a gun? What kind of gun is it? And
she cackles and laughs about you know, I one o'clock
and oh ha ha ha, yeah, and I've shot it too. Okay,
what about your changing up positions? What about Trendo Ragua,
(07:54):
the uh, the Venezu wedding gang that's infecting cities all
over the country. What about you letting all of them in?
Bill Whitaker actually pressed her a little bit on the
flood of illegal aliens coming into the country, and she
talks about, you know, needing a path, you know, a
serious path for citizenship, amnesty. She's basically arguing for amnesty. Well, okay,
(08:16):
if you really want amstey, then tell us that's what
you really want. I'd like to see the transcript of
what she actually said, because I frankly don't believe that
sixty minutes told us the truth about everything. And why
do I think that? Well, I forget where she was
she's in. Somebody should make this a TV ad. I
(08:38):
don't know where she was. Listen to this, Listen to
the SoundBite.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
I'm number his number thirty two said, we got thirty
two days until the election. So thirty two days, hey,
two days, Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
We got some business to do.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
We got some business to do, all right, thirty two days,
and we know we will do it. And this is
gonna be a very tight race until the very end.
This is gonna be a very tight race until the
(09:25):
very end. We are the underdog, and we know we
have some hard work ahead.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
You know what she was doing. She kept repeating the
number thirty two because that's where the teleprompter broke, and
she had no idea what to say after that. This
is the Weekend with Michael Brown. Glad to have you
with me. Be sure and send a text message number
three three one zero three. You just start to mess
you with the word Mike or Michael. Hang tight, I'll
(09:51):
be right back. Hey, welcome back the Weekend with Michael Brown.
Glad to have you with me.
Speaker 7 (09:59):

and follow me on you know, actually, if you've been
follow me on Twitter. You would know that I've been
having fun on Twitter while I was on vacation.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
Two.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
It's at Michael Brown USA. Excuse me, and I got
this frog in my throat. You just have to deal
with it. At Michael Brown USA. Go give me a
follow right now, and be sure and subscribe to the podcast.
The podcast name is on your podcast app. Search for
the Situation with Michael Brown, the Situation with Michael Brown,
(10:30):
hit subscribe and then you'll get all five days of
the weekday program and the weekend program and boom, you
get all you need. So one thing that I did
come across in doing show prep on the plane is
that former President Barack Obama has come out of the woodwork.
So you know that things aren't going well. When Hillary Clinton,
when Bubba Will Clinton, Barack Obama. I'm just waiting for
(10:54):
Michelle my Bell to come out. When they all come
out and start campaigning for Harris. You know she's probably
in deep doodoo because none of them really like Kamala
Harris because he goes back to that twenty twenty race
she couldn't get one vote. Now, I don't think it's
(11:16):
going to be a blowout, but I do believe that
what we're beginning to see is the tail end of
a campaign where the trend line starts to diverge and
the betting markets are starting to show I mean the
betting markets. I guess it was maybe Thursday or Friday.
I don't even know what was going on in the news,
but something happened on Thursday or Friday that caused the
(11:38):
betting markets to just suddenly diverge completely. I mean, Trump
just soored up to some fifty four points and Harris
drops down to some forty six points. And those are
people who are putting actual money on the line, so
they've got skin in the game. Well, Obama comes back
out and he's urging black men to support Kamala Harris
(12:00):
suggesting that black people's allegiance should be based on the
color of her skin and the chance to quote make history.
Why because because of Hergina tell you? I mean, is
that or because of rei Q? I mean, because I
(12:21):
really wonder well CJ. Pearson, who's a young black man
from I forget where CJ's from. I think he's from Georgia.
I got to know CJ. I don't know. It seems
like three or four years ago. He was just kind
of getting started. He wanted to get involved in politics
(12:42):
and asked for some advice and stuff. And so CJ,
who's now twenty two years old, comes out and talks
about Obama's statement.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
Also, I'm se J Pearson, one of the young black
men espects I know les it's supporting Kamala Harris just
because she quote looks like him. Now, guys, I don't
know about y'all, but I think that my ancestors fault
far too are for my right to vote.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
And this come.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
Try for me to support someone just because they looked
like especially that person who.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Looks like me. Isn't it a damn about me?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
He makes a great point, but this is Democrats identity politics.
Go vote for somebody, and that's what That's basically what
Obama was telling black men, Hey, get off your butts
and go vote for Kamala Harris because she's a black female. Okay.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
C J.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Pierson is saying, wait a minute. We fought for our freedom,
this country, fought for our freedom, fought to get rid
of slavery and thought so that I could make my
own choices. So why should I vote for someone just
based solely on their skin color. We'll see j because
that's how Democrats want you to vote.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
I'm not Hereris. Her entire approval career hasn't been a
single thing for Black people, black man, or anyone actually
for that matter.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
She'd got to secure the poor.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
She hasn't created a signal job.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
She is actually probably uniquely terrible at her job.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Barack Obama, another.
Speaker 7 (14:11):
Person who didn't do it damping for black people and
who was president, believe black men should set aside of
this sagreements, set aside.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Our agreementces, and just take one for the team, Barack.
We've been taking one for the team when it comes
to supporting the Democrat Party for decades.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
And what do we have to show for Our inner.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Cities are destroyed, Lent crime is up, we are living
in poverty and far many too many communities across this country.
That is the reality of progressive policies in this country
and all across America. To know, Barack, I'm not gonna support.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
Kamala Harris because you said that that is my duty
as a young black man.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
No, I'm going to support Donald Trump, the president who
actually delivered for black people. Part about the lowest black
funt in fulor raidar nation's history. The president who actually
gave a damn about our community. That's not rocket science, Barack,
it's common sense.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
It is. It's common sense. What has have you ever
thought about? What has Kamala Harris done for black people?
When she was the attorney general, she decided to go
after truancy. Yes, here is a black mother's story about
(15:20):
Kamala Harris going after truant children.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
I intend to fight for black lives matters.
Speaker 8 (15:29):
I intend to fight if black lives matters for her.
Why didn't I matter?
Speaker 6 (15:35):
Because of truancy? California public schools lose one point four
billion dollars a year in funding.
Speaker 8 (15:42):
I want money, I don't.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I don't agree what my Kamala Harris did to my mom.
Speaker 9 (15:50):
So I decided I was going to start prosecuting parents
for truancy.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I've been a majority of my time here to host.
Speaker 8 (16:01):
When Kamala Harris was the California Attorney General, she had
me arrested and prosecuted because my handicapped darter was sick
in the hospital and had missed some days of school.
Speaker 10 (16:12):
I have sickle cell anemia.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Cil cell anemia is a hereditary disease and it is very,
very teen.
Speaker 8 (16:22):
In twenty twelve, like all California parents, I received a
threatening letter from Kamala Harris saying, we'll go to jail
for a year if our kids even missed ten percent
of school days.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Little did I know there was a warrant house for
my arrest.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
All of a sudden, the police is outside my house
and they started banging on the door. They told me
I was under arrest for my child missing school.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
I was shocked. I said, but my baby is sick.
The school knows that.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
And they said, go talk to Kamala Harris. Place your
hands behind your back.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
And my mom did nothing wrong. We did everything we
were supposed to. I was always bringing doctor's notes. I'm
always calling the school to let them know that I
was in the hospital.
Speaker 8 (17:12):
But my hell was just beginning. They gave me two charges.
I spent the next two years in court fighting these charges.
Kamala assigned her nastiest prosecutors to my case.
Speaker 10 (17:24):
My homicide prosecutors, my gain prosecutors, and they went over
there and I said, when you go over there, look
really mean.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
All the time I had to spend going to court,
I was struggling to care for my show.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
We are going to make.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
Sure that you faced the full force and consequences.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
Of the law.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
I lost my job and couldn't pay rent and we
got evicted. I became homeless. We had to move into
a motel.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
And can you imagine that the mother's little girl has
sickle cell and she's in the hospital.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Tonight Michael Brown joins me here, the former FEMA director
of talk show host Michael Brown.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Brownie, no, Brownie, You're doing a heck of a job
the Weekend with Michael Brown.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Hey, welcome back to the beginning with Michael Brown. Glad
to have you with me. Appreciate you tuning in. Hey,
if I can fly halfway around excuse me, not halfway,
I guess maybe a quarter the way around the world
to get back here and do this program and you
can tune in and listen all right. If you're looking
for an affiliate around the country, go to this website,
Michael says, go here dot com. Michael says, go here
(18:40):
dot com. You can pull down the tab on how
to listen, and you can find all the affiliates all
over the country with an interactive map, and you can
find a list under that that shows you when they
air the program and when they re air the program too,
because lots of affiliates do that, So don't forget to
do that too. Excuse me. This suffer through these allergies
(19:02):
in this soote throughout the entire program. So just deal
with it. So we're going back over this story about
Kamala Harris having this woman arrested in California when she's
was the Attorney General because she was going to clamp
down on truancy. That quite honestly, I don't have a
(19:22):
problem with clamping down on truancy. Too many kids skip school,
not that I ever did that, but too many kids
skipped school for too much time, and kids ought to
be in school right instead of running around the streets.
But here was This shows you that when you know
she talks about her values and never changed, this shows
you that when she was the Attorney General, she didn't
(19:46):
supervise her cases, or she didn't supervise the lawyers that
prosecuted the cases. She just put a broad strategy out there,
let's go after truance, all right. Well, part of being
a a good prosecutor is not just trying to get convictions,
(20:06):
but to seek justice. That's what a district attorney or
an attorney general is supposed to do. Seek justice. So
if you have a single mother whose child has been
missing a lot of school, you investigate before you prosecute.
Why is this kid missing school? What's the school done
about it? Does the school know about it? Does a
(20:29):
mother know about it? Rather than just going out and
issuing an arrest warrant, which is what they did in
this case. She said that she got a letter, and
let's just back it up. She says that she gets
this letter from Kamala Harris saying that they were gonna
clamp down in truancy. At the same time that she
(20:51):
gets the letter, she doesn't realize there's already an arrest
warrant for her.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
I intend to fight for black lives matters. I intend
to fight.
Speaker 8 (21:05):
If black lives matters for her. Why didn't I matter
because of truancy?
Speaker 6 (21:10):
California Public Schools was one point four billion dollars a
year in funding.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
I want money, I don't.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I don't agree what my Kamala Harris did to my mom.
Speaker 9 (21:24):
So I decided I was going to start prosecuted for
parents for truancy.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
And I've been a majority of my time here in
the Hospel.
Speaker 8 (21:34):
When Kamala Harris was the California Attorney General, she had
me arrested and prosecuted because my handicapped daughter was sick
in the hospital and had missed some days of school.
Speaker 10 (21:46):
I have sickle cell anemia.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Civil cell anemia is a preditary disease and it is very,
very teenful.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
In twenty twelve, like all California parents, I received a
threatening letter from Kamala Harris saying, we'll go to jail
for a year if our kids even missed ten percent
of school days.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Little did I know there was a warrant house for
my arrest.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
All of a sudden, the police is outside my house
and they started banging on the door. They told me
I was under arrest for my child missus school.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
I was shocked. I said, but my baby is sick.
The school knows that.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
And they said, go talk to Kamala Harris. Place your
hands behind your back.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
And my mom did nothing wrong. We did everything we
were supposed to. I was always preaking doctor's notes, always
calling the school to let them know that I was
in the hospital.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
But my hell was just beginning, and they gave me
two charges. I spent the next two years in court
fighting these charges. Kamala assigned her nastiest prosecutors to my.
Speaker 10 (22:57):
Case, my Mama side prosecutors, my gain prosecutors, and they
went over there and I said, when you go over there,
look really mean.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
All the time I had to spend going to court,
I was struggling to care for my show.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
We are going to make sure that you faced the
full force and consequences of the law.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
I lost my job and couldn't pay rent and we
got evicted.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
I became homeless.
Speaker 8 (23:27):
We had to move into a motel.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
And I ended up being in the hospital a lot
during her trial. And not hospital stay was when I
had my stroke.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
I had a.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Struggle about days ago.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Now I'm doing pretty good. I can he's doing okay.
Speaker 9 (23:48):
Let's be clear of my values have not changed.
Speaker 8 (23:51):
Look, I am not a political person, but I want
people to know what Kamala Harris has did to me.
If she do it to me, she will abuse anyone
if you give her the power.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
A Trogan program, I got a lot of criticism.
Speaker 9 (24:07):
You actually locking my own No, we never locked anybody up.
We did prosekuston case.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
She just told that host of radio program if They
never locked anybody up. But this woman got locked up.
Then she goes on she's at some Commonwealth club in California.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
If she do it to me, she will abuse anyone
if you give her the power.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
The Trogan program, I got a lot of criticism you
actually locking my own.
Speaker 6 (24:37):
No, we never locked anybody up. We did prosekust some cases.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
We did prosecute some cases. Yeah, and you didn't supervise them.
You didn't find out what was really going on. Now,
if she would do that as the attorney general, imagine
what she would do as the president with an entire
Department of Justice.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Nobody he'll be safe only about twenty So my message
to all Americans, especially black Americans, do not trust Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
And if you want to see that full interview arrested
by Kamala dot com. Arrested by Kamala dot Com. I
don't normally get those out, but this story to me
says so much about Kamala Harris. You know, when people
get even you've seen this, whether it be you know,
(25:36):
somebody at your work, somebody that you know that's uh,
you know, a newly minted you know, security guard, and
make it be anybody, you give them a teeny little
bit of power and they go backcraft crazy with it.
And that's exactly what Kamala Harris did, is the Attorney
General and her failure to supervise the cases and her
(25:57):
failure to set the standard for her prosecutor about what
cases you should go after and how you should look
into every case. Before you, you know, you start throwing
people in jail, maybe you oble to find out all
the facts about it. It's called an investigation. And as well,
we expect law enforcement to do before you issue and
arrest warrant is actually go out and investigate the case,
(26:19):
see if a crime's been committed, if there's probable cause,
and if there is, then you can arrest somebody. Then
you can take them before you know it, in front
of a judge for a preliminary hearing. Let the judge
determine whether there's probable cause to hold them over for trial.
Hold them over for trial there is, and if not,
have it dismissed. This woman. If she really does get
(26:41):
a hold of the Department of Justice, I think there'll
be a whole lot of people in this country there
will be in a lot of trouble a lot of trouble,
but not for doing anything wrong. It will simply be
a continuation of the law fair that's already begun under Joe.
And she sat there for the past four years now
(27:04):
watching law fair against Donald Trump, watching law fair against Oh,
I don't know, parents would go to school board meetings
or people that protest in front of abortion Clintons, and
she'll go after people that she doesn't like, just like
Hillary Clinton. You're gonna hear later. Hillary Clinton was talking
last week about how we need limit free speech because
(27:26):
the platform's out of control. There's too much misinformation out there. Really,
this is who these people are. They want to control
every aspect of your life, unless, of course, you're a
woman running an abortion and then everything's you know, it's
just free reiin. She's absolutely losing it.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
So when we think about what's at stake in this election,
well it's packed with some stuff. Fit's back with some fundamentals.
Speaker 8 (28:03):
Stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
I say rather articularly, I say rather articulately, or whatever
else she was trying to pronounce. Uh. Really, so when.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
We think about what's at stake in this election, well
it's packed with some stuff. Fit's back with some fundamentals stuff.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
I say rather articularly.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I could have sworn maybe your staff had told her
to stop the cackle, but apparently not. It's the weekend
with Michael Brown. Text the word Michael or Michael this
number three three wednesdero three. Tell me anything, ask me anything.
Hang tight, I'll be right back. Hey, welcome back to
came with Michael Brown. Glad to have you with me.
(29:02):
You sure and follow me on x formally Twitter. It's
at Michael Brown, USA. Go do that right now. You're
not doing anything else. So as I truly believe Kamala
Harris will weaponize the Department of Justice even more so
than what Joe Biden has and I she'll weaponize it
against social media platforms that fail to censor hate or
(29:26):
misinformation to her liking. She said that back in twenty nineteen,
and it's now going viral. You'll hear it in just
a minute. In a speech to the National Association of
the Advancement of Colored People the NAACP in Detroit while
she was running back in twenty twenty, then Senator Harris
says she would quote put the Department of Justice in
(29:48):
the United States back in the business of justice. We
will double the Civil Rights Division and direct law enforcement
to counter this extremism. We will hold social media platforms
accountable for the hate infiltrating because they have responsibility, responsibility
to help fight against this threat to our democracy. Oh
I'm so, let's stick of that phrase. And if you
(30:09):
profit off hate, if you act as a megaphone for
misinformation or cyber warfare, if you don't police your platforms,
we are going to hold you accountable as a community.
What hell does that mean? So look, other than Twitter,
I really don't give a rat saz about most of them,
(30:32):
but they're a community, and so if you go after one,
you're going to go after them all quote. We are
going to hold you accountable as a community. So if
(30:52):
if one car company does something bad, you're going to
go after all car companies. Or if one radio station
makes a mistake, you're gonna go after all radio stations.
You know, if she weaponizes the Department of Justice in
that way, I think that would lead and you know,
(31:14):
I got a big bugaboo about this, It would lead
to a significant abridgment of our First Amendment rights, with
hate so called air quote hate being subjective, and the
authorities definition of whatever misinformation is, Who's going to decide that?
(31:34):
But I think we have to stop asking the question
who's going to decide that and instead start with the
premise that misinformation, disinformation, malinformation, whatever prefix you want to
put in the word in front of the word information,
because it's all information or hate speech really. You know,
(32:01):
as I was leaving, so I was leaving the airport
in Hawaii, I thought I'd seen this at Denver International.
But TSA now has signs up that say something about
the following four or five things are prohibited. One of
them is verbal abuse, And I thought, oh, well, hang
(32:24):
on a minute. Now, there may be consequences if I
want to verbally abuse someone working for TSA, I may
end up getting a rectal examination before I can pass
through security, or I'll be held up long enough until
my flight's already gone. But if I went to verbal
(32:44):
abuse someone you know that's protected by the First Amendment,
now I may get punched out. But it's like you
can give a cop the finger, you can yell and
scream at a cap up. How many riot cops have
you seen lined up in full riot gear with protesters
(33:08):
right in their face, right up next to the shields,
just screaming, spitting all over them. Well, it's a protected speech. Yeah,
So what's with this idea that we're going to eviscerate
the First Amendment because we don't like what's being said?
(33:29):
And since when do I lose my First Amendment right?
And by the way, what's verbal abuse? You know? If
I tell somebody at TSA, then I think they're doing
a you know.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
A.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Crappy job. I'd like to use a different word. I
think you're using You're doing a crappy job. Is that
verbally abusing them? I have I have a right to
tell them that. Now that mean that my bag gets
pulled aside, it gets swabbed. They take their time, they
go to do all this. There'll be consequences. But to
(34:04):
tell me that I can't do that, or for her
to tell us that this is what she's going to
do she gets elected, Holy crap, what's wrong with us?
Speaker 6 (34:16):
And We'll put the Department of Justice of the United
States back in the business of justice. We will double
the Civil Rights Division and direct law enforcement to counter
this extremism. We will hold social media platforms accountable for
the hate infiltrating their platforms because they have a responsibility
(34:41):
to help fight against this threat to our democracy. And
if you profit off of hate, if you act as
a megaphone for misinformation or cyber warfare, if you don't
police your platforms, we are going to hold you accountable
(35:01):
as a community.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Hmm. Go back to this one part right here, listen
to this to.
Speaker 6 (35:10):
Help fight against this threat to our democracy.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
It's a threat to our democracy. If you know, Democrats
are so good at projection, they're so dang good about
talking about this threat to democracy when what she's doing
right there is indeed a threat to so called democracy.
It's a threat to the very basis of freedom in
(35:35):
this country, freedom of speech. Again, you know, I can
go shout fire in a crowded theater. I can even
falsely shout fire in a crowded theater. There might be
consequences for doing the latter. But if there's a fire
in a theater, of course I can shout fire. But
(36:00):
they want you to believe, as they use the old
trope that you can't shout fire in a crowded theater,
that they want to weaponize the Department of Justice against Now,
look again, I don't care what you think about the
big tech tech platforms. But if I want to post
something to x or on Facebook or Instagram or anywhere
else and you don't like what I say, well sucks
(36:24):
to be you. But you know what you can do.
You can counter that with your own speech. You can
tell me how my argument sucks. You can you can
give me all sorts of reasons why my argument falls
fol in his face. But I have the right to
make my argument just as you have the right to
make yours, and doing so is not a threat to democracy.
(36:45):
It's the weekend of Michael Brown. Stay tuned, Texas Word Michael.
Michael to three three Wednesday, ERRO three. I'll be right
back
