So today, Melissa Hortman, the former Speaker of the Minnesota
House of Representatives anna prominent Democratic farmer Labor Party leader,

(01:32):
along with her husband Mark, were shot and killed in
their home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. The Governor of Minnesota,
Tim Walls Tampa on Tim describes it as a quote
politically motivated assassination. If I just stopped right there, everybody
went jumps to the to the assumption that, oh my gosh,
some right wing nut job has killed the Democrat speaker

(01:55):
of the Minnesota House. Will you be wrong? And I'll
tell you why in a minute. In a related incident,
State Senator John Hoffman and his wife event they were
shopped multiple times at their home in Champlain, but they
survived after undergoing surgery. Both attacks occurred early this morning,

(02:18):
were described as targeted acts of political violence. The first
shootings occurred around two o'clock this morning at Senator Hoffman's
home and then Brooklyn Park Police proactively checked on the
Speaker's residence around three point thirty five in the morning.

(02:39):
When they did, they encountered the suspect, impersonating a cop,
driving a vehicle resembling a Cops SUV with emergency lights,
wearing a uniform with a badge, had a tactical vest on.
But when they were checking on the house, when the
real cops were checking on the house, the suspect fired
at the real cops, who returned fire, but he escaped

(03:01):
through the back of the house. Little context, the shootings
a curtain amid obviously heightened political tensions. The No King's
protests against the Trump administration were scheduled across Minnesota. Some
of them have been canceled, and Governor Waltz and the

(03:22):
Minnesota State Patrol urged the public to avoid the protests
out of safety concerns. Minnesota's political claimant was already strained
the state houses. He is evenly split sixty seven to
sixty seven between Republicans and Democrats, and so there's a
power sharing agreement now Hartman, the Speaker's death shifted the balance,

(03:47):
giving Republicans a one vote majority. Now, some reports have
identified the suspect of some dirtbag. I've got his name
hereby doesn't make any difference. Apparently a former appointee to
the Governor's the Democrat Governor's Workforce Development Board, but I'm

(04:08):
not completely sure of that. They described the suspect as
a white guy with brown hair, wearing a blue suit,
blue pants, black tactical vest, posing as law enforcement officer.
Now different reports, one that he has been found dead,
one that he remains at large as of right now.
When you're listening to the program later that may be otherwise. Now,

(04:34):
as I said, the shooting has been characterized as politically motivated,
targeting Democrat lawmakers. He had a manifesto, he had no
kings protest flyers in his car. Well, that suggests opposition
against democratic figures or policies. But here's the broader context.

(04:57):
This is clearly part of a wave of political violence
in this country. We've had Trump targeted Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro,
form speaker at Nancy Pelosi, and critics point to deepening
political divisions, all the inflammatory rhetoric. Of course, they had

(05:19):
to blame Trump's pardon of January sixth rioters, but I
don't know that that's actually something we ought to be doing.
While the exact motive remains unclear pending his capture and
further investigation, Obviously, the attacks appear tied to political extremists,

(05:45):
possibly fueled by I'm going to say this and explain
it opposition to Democrat policies or figures. But it may
be that what the opposite, because that can be heard
as me saying that, oh, this is some conservative or

(06:08):
right winger who's opposed to the Democrats. But the information
that I'm getting as we've been going through the program
today indicates that actually this may be a anarchist or
a liberal left leaning Democrat who is opposed to some

(06:30):
of the votes that this speaker has taken that go
against Democrat policies. So I just encourage you to wait
and see as we get more of a more information.
But the headlines right now or that this guy was
a top Democrat, he was a former Waltz appointee opposed

(06:55):
as a cop, he had more Democrats on his list,
But it sounds almost as if we've got Democrat on
Democrat crime going on. And some of this has to
do with a vote that the Speaker took that would
have expanded healthcare for all or something, and she voted

(07:16):
against it, and he's pissed off about it, so he
resorted to violence. Of course, I want to read, want
to wait and read the manifesto, because the manifesto is
obviously going to tell us a lot about the motivation,
but it points out that there really is an awful

(07:41):
lot of political violence going on in this country. As
I said at the very beginning of the program, I
barely remember the sixties fairly well remember the seventies, and
not because I was drug addt just because I was
too young. But we seem to be going retrograde here

(08:03):
where instead of just peacefully protesting for you know, peace
and love and free speech and free love and everything else,
it's now that we are resolving our political differences, not
at the ballot box, but with bullets. I'm pro gune.

(08:23):
I just think that we've got too many anarchists, too
many Marxists, and they have seen the election of Donald
Trump as their opportunity for cover and their opportunity to
start spreading their violence even further. Because what will they do.
They'll always point to Trump, They'll always point to us

(08:44):
and say that we're the ones. For example, the claim
that we again going back to no kings, that we
are deport deporting US citizens. I challenge anyone to give
me an example where a valid citizen, either naturalized or
born in this country has been deported. I don't think

(09:08):
you can find one one whatsoever. And today the United
States Army will celebrate its two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
and there will be, assuming the weather permits, a grand
military parade in DC. Well let's talk about that just
a little bit, because somebody's already raining on that parade,

(09:28):
and it's interesting that it's this guy. They'll tell you
who it is. Next, it's the Weekend with Michael Brown.
Follow me on ex at Michael Brown USA.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
I'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Welcome back to the Weekend with Michael Brown. Glad to
have you with me. I appreciate you tuning in and listening.
Be sure and tell your friends and family about the program.
Let's get it growing even more than it is. So
today is the two hundred fiftieth anniversary of the United
States Army. Congratulations and big, big, fat ass congratulations. Today

(10:05):
also happens to the land on President Trump's seventy ninth birthday.
The United States Army formed first as the cottinill Armony Army,
founded on June fourteen, seventeen seventy five. Congratulations, and so
Trump must have a big paray today sometime, I think
starting at six eastern or something, going down Constitution Avenue.

(10:30):
The original reports were we're gonna have you know, four
dozen or so abrams tanks, We're gonna have armored personnel carriers,
we're gonna have seven thousand troops. We're gonna have flyovers,
We're gonna have everything. And some people compare it to
oh remember watching all of the members of the Kremlin
watching Khrushchev or watching Brezhnev or Gorbetchev standing on the

(10:51):
walls of the Kremlin and all the Soviet Army would
go marching through Red Square. Everybody started comparing it to that, Well,
it may be over the top what we're doing, seven
thousand troops. That sounds like an awful lot. You know,
in my hometown, we always had uh what it's called

(11:12):
pioneer days, and it occurred, you know, I think like
usually I think the first weekend amaze when that happened.
And I was always fascinated by it because everybody wanted
to ride their horse in the parade. So there might
have been I don't know, a hundred horses, and I
always thought to myself, how many horses do I have
to watch now? And how many now? The floats are

(11:36):
always interesting because the floats were always different. But and
there were marching bands, you know that would come from
you know, a tri state area. They'd all show up,
so you'd have high school marching bands. You'd have different floats,
you know, different businesses with sponsor floats, and they have
different themes. And then there were always steers, steers at ole, cows,

(12:01):
horses pick up trucks with pigs in the back. But
the horse is always fascinating, and the horses and the cows,
because with all due respect to farmers and ranchers, and
I love farmers and ranchers, and I don't love horse
and meat, but I love I love beef. I always
loved to myself, seen one cow, you seen them all.

(12:24):
Seeing one horse, you've seen them all. Now, if you're
a horse fanatic, I know quarter horses versus Arabians versus
you know, jumpers versus race, you know horse racing, horses.
I love. I get all of that. But the horse
is a horse is a horse, and the cows the
cow is a cow. And how many cows are you
gonna watch? Okay, I've seen the cows, and I've all

(12:46):
watched them poop, and now the streets are full of manure. Okay,
I got it. Uh. I kind of feel the same
way about the troops. I love the troops, whether it's
the any any branch of the service, I love them all.
Seven thousand Are we gonna have seven thousand troops marching
down Constitution Avenue? Seems a little overtilled to me, but

(13:08):
then that's Donald Trump. He doesn't do anything anything in
terms of just average. It's got to be over the top, right. Well,
some people don't like it, including Governor Tim Walls of
Minnisot is.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Going to say it as someone who proud of military service,
understands the importance of it.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Didn't you lie about your military service? I think he
lied about his military service, But I digress.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
I'm just gonna say it as someone who proud of
military service, understands the importance of it, but understands they
serve us. And whenever I come out here, I take
great joy in running my mall route down around the
monuments whatever, and it was horrific down there today. I'm
just gonna tell you, it just looks wrong, feels wrong,
And so I think I'm gonna go be with a

(13:59):
few thousand folks who kind of have the tradition that
that there is a separation there, that we don't need this,
and this is not Pyongyang on a Saturday. So I'm
just going to confess to it. I don't get me
in trouble whatever. I have never so hoped for rein
in my life.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
There you go. So hmm. You know, if Democrats have
prevailed last November, that Duvas, who I did think skipped
out on this deployment, would be a heartbeat away from
becoming the commander in chief. But notice the reference to Pyongyang,
the capital of North Korea. Somehow I think he's implying

(14:39):
the patriotic Americans or equivalent to their communist enemies. The
liberal capacity for projection is unlimited, absolutely unlimited, and kind
of disgusting too. Let's go to Washington State for a moment.
Ryan Akayama, this is the kind of individual that when

(15:00):
I talk about the American Federation of teachers. This is
the kind of person that we have molding kids in
public schools. A Washington State school district is defending a
teacher who posted a this teacher kills fascists poster on
social media at the end of last month. I guess

(15:22):
a fascist, according to him, as anybody who disagrees with
radical leftists like him. According to The Olympian, Akiyama also
wrote might need to print it on a T shirt
next for all my fellow woke DEI educators still showing
up with courage and care. Yes, I'm woke. Yes I
teach DEI. No, I'm not sorry. If that triggers the

(15:43):
wilfully ignorant, well, I dont Any kids are going to
remain ignorant of leftists woke ideology in the classrooms of
the evangelists like Akiyama in Washington, They'll be taught that
it's not an ideology, that somehow it's always objective ruth,
and then if you deviate from their objective truth, then

(16:05):
you're the extremist and you're a threat to our democracy
as they call it. Akaiyama, according to the Olympia, and
further explained that teaching is an inherently political act, but
not in the direction the neo fascist in the MAGA
movement what oh okay? So, as with every other institution,

(16:30):
to the extent that education has been subverted by not
jobs like him, it's no longer education, it's propaganda. And
that's how it became political. Aka Yama actually used to
be a principle, according to the newspaper, but after pleading
guilty to reckless driving in twenty nineteen, he was arrested

(16:52):
on suspicion of dui speeding and possession of a weapon,
he was demoted back to a teaching position. You know,
the bottom line with me is we need to completely
blow up the education system in this country, just completely
blow it up, start all over, because public education really

(17:12):
ought to be renamed government education. So I think the
only way you're going to ever going to fix that
is just through a thorough purge of public schools. And
I know not all teachers aren't like this, Yahoo, but
too many of them are. If if the left believes
that the word choice is sacro sanct and that we

(17:36):
should all have choice, then why should we not have
choice when it comes to where we spend our tax
dollars on? Education. Parents ought to be able to take
that money and spend it wherever they want to, as
long as it is an accredited, you know, institution of education.

(17:59):
It's the Weekend with Michael Brown. Hang tight, I raq,
I mean Iran and Israel. Next tonight, Michael Brown joins
me here, the former FEMA.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Director of talk show host Michael Brown.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
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.
Appreciate you tuning in. Be sure and follow me on
ex at Michael Brown USA. I'm I'm skimming through my
text messages. I want to get to this one because

(18:36):
I want to talk a little bit about Israel and
Iran for just a moment. Gouber number sixty one to
fifty Rights Mike, two year Saturday listener, first time texture
from Fayetteville, North Carolina, w FNC six forty am. Hello, Fayetteville,
North Carolina. Can you weigh in on the decision of

(18:56):
Israel to preemptively strike taking out strategic sites in Iran
has become a mixed bag among listeners of conservative opinion,
with some siding with the likes of Mark Levin and
others with the likes of Tucker Carlson. There's a current
heated rift between these two and has created a divide
among their followers. Way in where you can I don't

(19:17):
stand with Iran trusting Obama or Biden. Thanks glad to
be a gouber. I'm glad for you to be a
goober too. I've watched this battle between Levin and Tucker Carlson,
and I have to say that I think they're talking
right past one another. Carlson has Tucker Carlson has become

(19:38):
so anti war, and I understand that. I mean, We've
been through a lot of forever wars. We've wasted a
lot of treasury. We have failed miserably to have a
well defined mission in either Iraq or Afghanistan. We have
failed in our ability to strategically I maybe the word

(20:05):
fails too strong, but we have failed to developed the
tools necessary to quickly find and rid the world of
Osama bin Laden. What took ten years or longer shouldn't
have taken near that long. But that shows our over

(20:26):
reliance on signals intelligence and not enough reliance on human
human intelligence. We have not developed the types of sources
and the skills necessary to develop and utilize those assets
like the Massad has. The Israeli Intelligence Service has done
an unbelievably good job of doing that. Our CIA to

(20:53):
some degree, and I speak from twenty years ago experience
and what I've been able to follow since then, that
the CIA has itself become a bload to bureaucracy, And
having worked directly with Knox nonofficial cover personnelity and operatives
during my tenures under Secretary, I understand their frustrations. A

(21:16):
lot of the militaries become top heavy and we're not
focusing on the right things in terms of our intelligence.
And so when we invaded Iraq, we did so without
fully understanding all of the historical consequences of that invasion.
And we did so without fully understanding or having a
plan for how are we going to manage when we

(21:39):
topple Sodom Hussein. And if we don't have a plan
for post Sodom Hussein, then we're just flying with the
seat of our pants without understanding the historical five between
the Kurds, the Sheites, and the Sunnies, and how are
we going to manage that? We failed in Afghanistan to

(22:01):
rather than just invade Afghanistan, we knew we were the
funders of Charlie Wilson's War. We are the ones that
helped fund at the time, the Taliban to help them
rid their country of the Soviet Union. If you've never
seen the movie Charlie Wilson's War or understood who Charlie

(22:24):
Wilson was or what he did as a US congressman
to really drive the Soviets out of Afghanistan, I sometimes
wonder if if the CIA in two thousand and one
understood Charlie Wilson's War, we should have done what Israel

(22:45):
is doing, patiently developed the intel to track and hunt
down Osama bin Laden, and we would have found him earlier,
I think, probably hiding in Pakistan, although he was moving around.
We probably could have found him and surgically taken him
out and avoided that war. And certainly, certainly our withdrawal

(23:06):
from Afghanistan was a huge tactical error because we left. Look,
if you accept that we invaded, Okay, once we invade Afghanistan,
we've built Bargram Air Force Base, then we should have
kept it because that would have given us a forward
operating base, which would have expanded our intelligence capabilities, and

(23:26):
Biden just completely fed that up, and now we're without
the forward operating base that we could have had. They
could have given us incredible intelligence on Russia, what they're
doing in Ukraine, what they're doing with the Iranians, for
that matter. So I just think we made a lot
of mistakes, and Tucker Carlson has taken those mistakes and

(23:48):
is latched onto them and will not let go because
he doesn't want to make those mistakes again. Mark Levin,
on the other side, is among those who believe that
we need to fully support Israel, as do I, and
that just because they are surgically striking the Iranians now

(24:10):
does not necessarily mean, as I explained in depth on
my show Friday, does not necessarily mean World War III.
And if you want to listen to that, go get
the podcast from Friday and listen to that segment. Actually,
I think it was a two hour segment. So I
probably am more on the side of Mark Levin because

(24:32):
I don't believe that we're going to make the same
mistake and Tucker Carlson is making an assumption that this
is going to turn into a forever war. It does
not have to, and I think the current commander in chief,
Donald Trump, will do everything he can to prevent it
from turning into a forever war. But we have to
remember that historically, the Iranians, the Israelis have been very

(24:58):
good at a eliminating nuclear threats against their country in
the past. They did so in nineteen eighty one. They
did it again when they took out Iraqs. I think
it was Asrak I forget the name of They had

(25:20):
a nuclear reactor and the Iranians, I'm sorry, the Israelis
successfully took out that nuclear facility in nineteen eighty one.
It didn't lead to a forever war, it didn't lead
to World War three. Now fast forward to two thousand
and seven, the Israelis again took out serious nuclear facility

(25:42):
in two thousand and seven. So they've demonstrated that they
can do preemptive action that can effectively halt nascent nuclear programs,
and Israeli leaders likely viewed the Iranian strikes as a
continuation of their counterproliferation strategy, and I think they're very
good at it. The collapse, I mean, I think the

(26:05):
reason that we're we should support the Israelis in this
action is threefold. First, Benjamin Netanyahu makes a strong case
that Iran's nuclear program had reached a critical threshold and

(26:26):
there was posing an existential threat to Israel. Reports have
indicated that Iran could enrich enough uranium for a ball
I mean about a week. They could potentially amass enough
fissile material weapon grade uranium for up to twenty two
nuclear weapons within five months. That's reason number one. They

(26:49):
had reached they had crossed the rubicon. They had gotten
way too close. Now there is a great I mean
a fantastic article on the Free at the Free Press
VFP dot org. You may have to be a subscriber,
but it goes through the three D, if not four

(27:10):
D chess that Donald Trump and Benjamin net and Yah
who were playing. Donald Trump is playing the diplomat. He
gave the Iranians sixty days. The Israelis attacked on the
sixty first day. Trump has said all along, if you
don't agree to something within sixty days, it'll be hell
to pay. Now, I firmly believe that we have had

(27:35):
advanced notice of the strikes. That's why we moved some
personnel out of the region. That's why we took some
strike forces and moved them back. Some are now moving
closer in. So we knew that something was coming. And
Trump hinted at that last week. But Trump's gonna let

(27:59):
the Israelis do what they need to do. The point
number two the IDEA, the Israeli Defense Forces, the IDEF.
They described the strikes as pre empty. The chief of
staff of the IDEF says the situation had reached the
point of no return because of the Uranians advanced uranium
enrichment and weaponization efforts. And I firmly believe that their

(28:22):
intel is amazing. Remember how we were all amazed at
what the Ukrainians did in terms of using the drones
to strike way inside Russia and take out some of
their strategic bombers. The Israelis actually built a drone airport,
if you will, for lack of a better term to use,

(28:45):
so when their strike started, they could use those drones
to strike at military targets and then quickly the third reason,
and I'll take a break, Nat and Yahoo claimed that
Iran had taken these un precedented steps toward weaponization weaponization.
He suggested that nuclear weapons could be produced in a

(29:08):
month or less. That's been supported by the IDF, that's
even been supported by our own intel, that they had
enough for anywhere between fifteen and twenty two bombs within days,
and they were prepared to launch a couple of ballistic
missiles with two ton warheads to test them. Well, that's

(29:29):
exactly what Kim Jong un does when he's ready to
test a new nuclear weapon. So, yes, there was a
cancer and the cancer was about to metastasize, and we
had to take it out. And the Israelis, as the
Wall Street Journal points out, did the world a favor.
Now the question becomes what happens next. I'll be right

(29:54):
back as usual. I'm want to thank everybody for tuning
in this weekend. I know it's no King's Day and
you had protests to go to, but some of you,
for whatever reason, decided to listen to this program instay At.
I don't get it, but I'm glad you did. I

(30:14):
appreciate this audience. So we're talking about the Israeli attack
on the Iranians, and I think it's a good thing.
I'm a self avowed Zionist. I've been I've been to
Israel lots of times, and I've given speeches at Herzliya,
and I've spoken to members of the IDF and conferences,

(30:36):
and I just am a huge supporter of Israel, and
I think their their skills, their tactics are their intelligence
is simply amazing, absolutely amazing, and I've seen it in
action on trips there, and I've seen some of the

(30:57):
things that they're capable of doing. A lot of trust
in them, but I also understand that what they're doing
is not only for the good of their own country
to preserve their nation, which they have an absolute, unequivocal,
unequivocal right to do, and they don't need our permission
to do it. Now, there's no doubt in my mind

(31:21):
that Net and Yahoo had a conversation with Donald Trump
that said we're going to do this, and Trump probably said, well,
you know. In fact, some reports are that Trump said
something to the effect, well, you got to do what
you got to do, and that's why we made some
of the military maneuvers that we did, and we owe

(31:42):
it to at least help defend when when Iran is
so weak that they can't even use I mean they
could use if they if they had the ability to
use all the missiles they have they could overwhelm the
Iron Dome and David sling and they actually could law
but a lot more missiles into Tel Aviv in Jerusalem

(32:04):
and some of the other cities, but they have not
been able to do so. Yes, some have made it through,
not nearly as many has made it through the last
time after the attacks after the Hamas raid on October seventh.
So this bruising fight has left the Iranian military weakened

(32:25):
and they're unable to respond in time to the Israeli attacks.
That has left the Iotola Komenae in an incredibly weakened position.
As I told my audience this week, there are two
groups of people that are quietly golf clapping in support
of what Israel is doing, and that is the everyman,

(32:49):
the citizens of Iran. They have lived under this despot
since I think nineteen eighty nine. He took after the
first Ayatola after the fall of the Shaw in nineteen
seventy nine, and it is a horrific regime. It is
a totalitarian, dictatorial, brutal regime. And the Iatola Komene in

(33:17):
power now for nearly four decades, finds himself without very
many choices. His military and his commanding can CRUKT control
structure has been devastated by the Israelis. It's the most
serious blow struck in a confrontation since the October seven,
twenty twenty three attacks from Israel after the Hamas raid.

(33:42):
So Komene now has some really stark choices, and they're
not good options because his military is incredibly weakened. So
further retaliation by the Iranians is going to risk being
insufficient to deter any response by the Israelis when the
Israelis has said we are going to continue until we

(34:03):
obliterate your nuclear capability. Now, the side effect of that
is if a weakens Commina enough, there might be a
color revolution. There might be an uprising because with the
lack of any command and control over the military, which

(34:24):
would be the enforcers to keep Kamminae in place, he's
left without his security apparatus. At least that security apparatus
is now in the hands of people that he doesn't
really know, their third and fourth level mid managers, if
you will, mid level managers, and when you get to

(34:44):
the real boots on the ground in terms of the
Uranian military, some of them may just be in the
military because they needed the job, they needed the paycheck,
and they might be willing to turn But let's not
get too far ahead of ourselves. The Israelis still need
to continue taking out as much of that military structure

(35:05):
and that nuclear development program as they can. They need
to figure out a way, and they very well may
have operatives on the ground that can get into the
Natan's mountain where their primary nuclear facility is, and take
it out, or they may have the type of computer

(35:28):
virus that they've used before to get into that mountain
and destroy their capabilities. They've killed some of the nuclear scientists.
So I say, as long as we continue to help
Israel defend itself by using our aircraft carriers and some
of our other strike carriers to stop some of the
missiles from landing and civilian targets, which is what this

(35:51):
shows how desperate the Ranians are, it's not going to
risk a further war because let me tell you about
the second group. The first group, remember there's the Iranian people.
They're clapping and cheering, probably still quietly hoping that the
Israelis succeed. But you know who else is Saudi Arabia

(36:13):
Prince Mohammed ben Salman. He's already talked to Trump. I'm
sure they talked about this when Trump was over there.
The Katari leadership is clapping and cheering quietly, and so
are the Kuwaitis, the Emirates. They're happy about this. So
the four pillar countries of the Middle East are all

(36:35):
in support of what the Israelis are doing. They just
can't come out and cheer right now because they have
their own political considerations, but you know they're for it.
So yeah, I fully support what Israel is doing. It'll
change the world for the better. Thanks for tuning in
this weekend. Everybody, have a great weekend and I'll see

(36:55):
you next weekend.
