Speaker 1 (00:00):
To night.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Michael Brown joins me here, the former FEMA director of talk.
Speaker 3 (00:03):
Show host Michael Brown. Brownie, No, Brownie, You're doing a
heck of a job. The Weekend with Michael Brown.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Broadcasting live from Denver, Colorado. It's the Weekend of Michael Brown.
Glad to have you joining the program today. A couple
of rules of engagement for you to actively participate in
the program. Uh, we just talked about crop yields the
world and data. I just put that chart on my
ex account if you want to see it, and while
you're there, follow me. It's at Michael Brown USA. At
(00:32):
Michael Brown USA. The text line is always open. That
whole conversation about dreamers and mission accomplished. Because the text
line just blew up and I don't want to dive
into all the texts. I'm not going to dive in
into any of them because I get other stories I
want to get to. But if I could show you
(00:53):
the text line, if I just somehow, uh it'd be
too small if I screenshot at it. But if I
were able to screenshot it and let you read it
on Twitter, on the website, you would see that it's
an issue that in terms of a political spectrum. Conservatives
and liberals are way over here on the left side
(01:15):
of the spectrum, and conservatives and liberals are way over
here on the right side of the political spectrum, and
then there's a whole bunch right there in the middle.
You're on right rest my case, because that proves the
point that it is a discussion that we are going
to have to have and people are Here's what I
would just encourage people to do. It is to be
(01:37):
nuanced in your thinking about how we're going to deal
with that issue, because we are going to have to
deal with it. The President is going to have to
deal with it, and I think he has logically and
rationally started the conversation by deporting criminal, illegal aliens, and
that's going to lead us once that is down to
(01:58):
a manageable number, which I think should be zero. But
when it gets to a manageable number, then he can
start the next phase of deportations. Eventually, we're going to
have to start discussing what to do with those who
were brought here illegally at the age of three and
or even the age of sixteen, seventeen, eighteen. What do
we do with them? And don't just reflexively say deport
(02:23):
them or allow them to stay. Think critically about it,
and you have to. And when you think critically about it,
you're going to have to think about the political ramifications,
because if you want to stay in political power as conservatives,
(02:44):
you're going to have to give a little bit and
to staunchly say I will not move an inch. We'll
get you nowhere. And so it's it's what you know.
For example, I'm pretty much an absolutist on gun control.
I think the Second Amendment is boom. It says what
it says, and the only exceptions I would have would be,
(03:05):
you know, if you're a felon or you've been convicted
of felony, then I don't think you have a right
to keep them bear arms. There are some people who
are even more radical to me and say they even
disagree with that exception. But when it comes to these
so called dreamers, I know it's a name given to
them by the left. I'm not that big of an idiot,
(03:29):
but don't let that dissuade you from thinking in a nuanced,
rational and logical way about what is morally and legally
right to do with those kids. Because you're gonna have
to face the issue. And that's why we elected Trump
(03:49):
was to start dealing with these these issues head on.
So get ready anyway, if you're going back to if
you want to, if you want to see the data
on crop yields and how as we've gotten warmer since
the nineteen sixties, which we have no reason to deny
that crop yields of increase. That's over on at Michael
(04:12):
Brown USA on X. Now moving on the unpleasant site
of the Governor of Illinois, J.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
JB.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Pritzker just brings one word to mind, pork. Pork. At
fifty two point two billion dollars in general fund spending,
Governor Pritzker signed the biggest budget in state history. The
fiscal year twenty twenty six budget is up two billion
(04:44):
dollars from last year, propped up by more than one
point five billion in revenue that was projected but other
forecasts said was iffy. Buried in the three thousand, three
hundred plus pages of the Illinois budget are hundreds of
local quote member initiative earmarks that benefit only Democrat districts.
(05:10):
That means four point three million citizens of Illinois one
in three was excluded from the pork projects their taxes
supported in other legislative districts. That comes from a group
called Illinois Policy dot Org. Now, if that's not new,
(05:31):
Democrats have firm control. This is an example, much like Colorado,
much like California, Massachusetts, New York. This is what happens
when Democrats have firm control of a state. I'm just
using Illinois, Illinois as an example because this organization, the
Illinois Policy dot Org group, had this in one of
(05:54):
the reports. So governments become for them a spoils system.
There was an investigative report from twenty twenty two that
found a total of three hundred and sixty eight million
dollars for House Democrats and three hundred twenty six million
dollars for Senate Democrats. Zero was included for Republicans in
(06:15):
either the Illinois House or the Illinois Senate. Now lording
over all of that port is the leftist boutacrat Marxist
oligarch because he's a Hyatt family member. Is JB. Pritzker,
who desperately wants to be another Grover Cleveland. What I
(06:35):
mean by that one of the fattest presidents in US history.
So while individual Democrat legislators are primarily focused on budgets
for their own districts. I thought the governor was elected
to serve all of a state. Now he has just
like all of the governors, he has the power to
veto very specific sections of an appropriation bill that he
(06:58):
disagrees with. That's called an item veto, a line item veto.
Lots of states have that. But do you think he's
going to reign in the partisan pork fest. Of course
he's not going to do that. Meanwhile, while he refuses
to do that, the red carpet welcome matt for again
illegal aliens remains in place in that sanctuary state because
(07:20):
why well, because they want to increase democrats demographic leverage.
Why are points have some questions for the for Governor Pork,
we'll call him Governor Pork. How do you justify spending
more than one and a half billion dollars of Illinois
taxpayer dollars on healthcare for illegal immigrants when Chicago has
the highest black poverty rate in the country among the
nation's biggest cities. Ooh, that's an impertinent question. I don't
(07:44):
think a democratic government would want to talk about that.
If you're a poor person without or suffering from a
lack of health care or substandard healthcare in Illinois, and
your governor is taking one point five billion dollars out
of the private sector through taxes and giving it to
illegal alias, I'd have questions too, or this question, how
(08:06):
do you justify spending hundreds of millions of dollars, if
not billions, on illegal non English speaking children at Chicago
public schools when the school district is already rated, faces
a billion dollar deficit, and has just twenty one percent
of black students who can read a grade level. And
then the last question, And then I want to make
(08:27):
a comment, how do you justify the billion spent on
illegal migrants when ill citizens of Illinois already pay the
nation's highest property taxes, the second highest gas taxes, and
the highest cell phone taxes. All great questions. When you
have almost a fourth of black students that can only
(08:52):
a fourth of black students that can read a grade level,
meaning upwards of seventy five percent cannot read at grade level,
it shows that money dollars spent on schools does not
equal equality education, So throwing more money at schools is
(09:14):
not the solution. Perhaps eliminating teachers' union might be a
good start, but I think we all just completely bust up,
blow up if you will, public schools, government run schools,
because that's what you get. But when you think about it,
Chicago's massive black vote doesn't really empower blacks at all.
(09:35):
It just empowers the Democrats because by ensconsing the likes
of Governor Pork pritick Er Pork empower it is lik
in California with Newsom or Colorado with police, it is
pulling the entire state down, the Democrat death spiral.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Governor Pritstan have the highest duty to protect the people
of my state. Indeed, if Tom Holman were to come
to try to arrest us me rather, I can say
first of all that he can try. I can also
tell you that I will stand in the way of
Tom Holman going after people who don't deserve to be
(10:16):
frightened in their communities, who don't deserve to be threatened terrorized.
I would rather that he came and arrested me than
do that to the people of my state.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Okay, Tom Holman, go arrest Governor port It's a weekend
with Michael Brown. Text line is open number three three
ones Evel three keyword, Michael Michael be right back. Hey,
it's the Weekend with Michael Brown. Glad to have you
with me. I appreciate you tuning in. So somebody was
(10:47):
just I was just looking through my x timeline at
Michael Brown USA. Go follow me over there right now.
I just replied to somebody, you know, if you can't
listen during the weekday, don't forget. I mean, so somebody
on the Twitter feeds said, I love the weekend show,
but I can't listen during the week because I'm at work. Well,
(11:08):
subscribe to the podcast. That's really easy to do on
any podcast app. Doesn't make any difference which one it is.
Just search for the situation with Michael Brown, the situation
with Michael Brown. Once you hit that subscribe button, that
will Depending on how you have your app set up,
it should download all five days of the weekday program
(11:29):
plus the weekend program, and then you've got all the
Michael Brown you need. You've got six days of me.
So even though you may be working, get that podcast
loaded up. I think one of the most gut wrenchingly
vile of all of the useful idiots on the left
is the ladies of the view and of all of them,
(11:54):
this is a well, it's probably a tie among all
five of them, but probably one of the worst is
will be going Berg. She here's this unskilled let me
be fair, talent wise, she's probably a good actress. Have
you seen her. She plays a very minor role in
(12:16):
the The Godfather of Harlem. That's a great series. I
forget whether it's Netflix or Amazon, but it's it's about
Harlem in the in the early sixties. And oh, I
can't remember the actor's name, Forrest Whittaker. Thank you, Michael's
Forest Whittaker plays the Godfather of Harlem and Whoopi Goldberg
(12:40):
is his accountant. She doesn't appear in every episode, but
she is a good actress. I give her that. Otherwise
she doesn't have any talents. She really doesn't. So listen
as she compares the repressive savagery, savagery that prevails in
(13:02):
Iran to the obsequious faith favoritism that her fellow blacks
receive in this country.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Just listen to this, and it's slow.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Let's just remember too, the Iranians literally throw gay people
off of buildings. They don't have a sure to basic
humanist here's this, let's not.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Let's me not do that.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Let's not do that, because if we start with that,
we had we have been known in this country to
tie gay folks to the car.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Where addition hanging black people, so not even the same.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I can't even let it keep running. Yes, we had that.
We had those guys that tired tied a black man
to a car in Texas. I didn't think he was gay.
Maybe he was, I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
We had this story about the kid in Wyoming that
was beat to death and left to hang on a fence.
Now turns out he was gay. But it wasn't because
he was gay that he got beat up. It was
because over a bad drug deal. What she totally misses
is that when they hang gay people from the cranes
(14:19):
in Tehran, that is government sanctioned, sanctioned murder. That is
government sanctioned racism, That is government sanctioned homophobia. We don't
sanction that in this country. The people who kill gay people,
whether they kill him because they're gay or just for
(14:40):
a bad drug deal, get tried and convicted of murder
through due process. This is why I say she really
is a dumbasses.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
What you mean to say it is the same.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
No, No, the year twenty twenty five unit STIs is
nothing like if I stopp foot wearing.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
That young people, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
I mean, I can't have my hair showing, I can't
wear a skirt, I can't have my.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Age.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
I literally said it was up to the Iranian people
to hit it up.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
And that's why I am saying that it is the same.
Murdering someone for their difference is not good.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Whoever done it's not good.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
So that's why I said you you weren't saying what
you What I heard was not what you meant.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
I think it's very different in the United States in
twenty twenty five than it.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Is to live in a lot for everybody, not every
black guys.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Do not know you're the sad party is I've always
said this. People ask me sometimes why do you play
the view they're such idiots? Well, because one I like
to make fun of them for their idiocracy, but two,
I want you to think about who's behind the camera. No,
not who's in front of the camera, who's behind the camera.
(16:05):
I refer to them as the seals. Like you go
to you know, you go to uh water World or someplace,
or you see where you go, Yeah, you go to
see not water World. Not you go to see World
and you see the seals clapping to get the fish.
That's what all the people in the audience are doing.
They're idiots too.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Let me tell you about being in this country. This
is the greatest country in the world. But yeah, I
know that, I know that, and we all know that.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
But every day we are worried. Do we have to
be worried about our kids?
Speaker 6 (16:40):
Are their kids going to get shot because they're running
through somebody's neighborhood. These are there. They are not big deals.
And I don't mean to say they're not big deals
to you because that's all the women are men.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
They are not doing well. They're either they are not
doing well an Iran.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
They are not educated.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
They can't everybody I'm talking, No, nobody wants said.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
It diminish them. Very real problems we have in this country.
Win's intent, but I think it's important we remember there
are places much darker than this country and people who
deserve right.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Not everybody feels that way. Not everybody feels that way. Listen,
I'm sorry. You know when you think about the fact
that we were we got the vote in nineteen sixty five.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Okay, they don't have free and fair elections in Iran.
It's not even the same universe.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
They can't go out of their house women.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
You know what, Oh, isn't that amazing. I think it's
very different to live in the United States in twenty
twenty five than it is to live in Iran. Not
if you're black. There's the money quote and the Seals
clap on cue. I'll be right back.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Tonight.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Michael Brown joins me here, the former FEMA director.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Of talk show host Michael Brown.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Rownie, no, Brownie, You're doing a heck of a job
the Weekend with Michael Brown.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Hey, welcome back to the Weekend with Michael Brown. Glad
to have you with me. I appreciate you tuning in.
Go follow me on x formerly Twitter at Michael Brown USA,
and don't forget subscribe to the podcast. I'm interested. I
just found it interesting that on x one of my
followers said, well, we'd love to listen to the weekday program,
(18:20):
but we can't because we're working. That's why God invented podcasts,
although iHeart would say they invented podcasts, and it's really
easy to do on your podcast app just search for
the situation with Michael Brown, hit that subscribe button, leave
a five star review because that helps us get up
in the in the rankings. And then you've got all
(18:42):
five days of the weekday program plus the weekend program,
so you can listen to the weekday program, and you know,
depending what you do at work, you could kind of
plug it into your earbut and just listen to me
while you're doing whatever you're supposed to be doing. With
regard to the messages, let me just say, for those
(19:03):
of you who sent me text messages who are asking
me to explain Whoopi Goldberg, there's only a limited amount
of brain power that I have, and I don't want
to waste my brain power trying to get down to
her way of thinking to help you understand what the
hell she's talking about. The absolute insanity that is Whoopy
(19:30):
Goldberg is indeed just that absolute insanity. But it gives
you Again, I love playing it because it is insane. Two,
it reminds It helps me remind you that there are
a lot of useful idiots out there that you know,
you go to New York City, Well, if you go
to New York City and you want to see, you know,
(19:51):
daytime television, or for that matter, one of the late
night programs. Well that's fine, you know, but just because
the audience signs as applause doesn't mean you have to applause,
doesn't mean you have to agree with them. And by
the way, I would recommend that you go do something
else worthwhile. Go to the Museum of Natural History, go
(20:13):
to Little Italy, go to Ground zero. Yeah, that's a
much better use of your time than going to watch
one of the daytime programs, which you can get free
tickets to. But just because you can doesn't mean you should.
There is a huge divide, I think, between those who
lack any sort of critical thinking skills, who are goible
(20:35):
enough to buy whatever liberal, Marxist progressive narrative is being sold,
and those who are not You and me. Now, this
is good news for those of us who are conservatives,
because the propaganda that's coming out of the Democrats these
days is heavy handed and just stupid enough to make
(20:56):
all but the dimmest bulbs just burst into bright liight right,
and also kind of make you laugh out loud. This
is something. This is a little short, thirty second advertisement
from a group called Progress Action Fund. This is their
(21:16):
actual motto. You can if you don't believe me, you
can go to their website. Don't do it because I
don't want to be any hits, but just so you'll know,
I'm not making this up. Progressactionfund dot com dot com.
Their actual motto is when Republicans go low, we go lower.
(21:39):
I think they're wasting their money because anyone who is
dumb enough, dimb enough, stupid enough to be convinced by
the ad that you're about to hear, I don't. I'm
not sure that if you're dumb enough, or if a
majority of people are not dumb enough to believe this ad,
then this country has no right to this in itself
(22:01):
from foreign invasion that's brought in here to vote Democrat.
Listen to this now. I know you can't see it,
but it's suffice it to say. It's two young white
kids who are obviously on a date of some sort,
(22:21):
and the men in black show up.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Yeah, me too, when you do it, change coming with us?
Who are you talking about? Who are you? I'm your
Republican congressman. Now that we're in charge, we're rounding up illegals.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
She was born.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Here's the citizen. I don't care she looks like one
of them, but don't worry. When she's imprisoned in the Salvador,
you have loss for me.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
The homegrowns are next, they claim. Now the Marxist over
at Newsweek report that pro Democrat Progress Action Fund was
founded by former Obama administration staffers. Are you surprised by that?
I mean it's basically saying, hey, I'm your Republican congressman,
(23:16):
and now that we're in charge, if you just look
like any illegal in other words, you got brown skin,
or I don't know, you got black skin, you have
Asian eyes, I guess we're coming for you. So latinos
Asians blacks lookout, because the white Republican congressman is coming.
(23:38):
You're gonna haul you wait and send you del Salvador,
particularly if you're a cute white female. Are you surprised
that former staffers from the Obama administration founded this group? Now,
a press person for the current administration, Abigail Jackson, wasn't
(23:59):
very impressed with this quote. This is clearly just a
sad attempt to distract from the violent Democrat rioters in
Los Angeles who want to keep criminal illegal aliens in
American communities. Okay, yes, I agree, but it serves a purpose,
and you and I need to understand this. It serves
(24:22):
to inspire the true believer dumbasses to go out there
and throw more rocks at law enforcement, to set more
cars on fire, to try to interfere with more immigrations
and customs enforcement raids, to go beat up on cops,
to go try to lock them in their buildings and
burn the building down, to throw rocks at cars, to
(24:46):
block interstate highways, to do everything that's going on with
you know, the no Kings or whatever. It was stupidity
to go out and continue to do that. That's precisely
what they're trying to do. And you've got to be
really so sort of dummy to fall for that. I
just I'll put that up on my next timeline in
(25:06):
a minute too, because it's it's freaking hilarious. Now, we
know the journalists are supposed to ask questions, you're not
supposed to go out and spout lies, right, yet, watch
what happens when Martina Navatrolova, she's a tennis legend, she
attempts to explain basic fairness and biology to a reporter
(25:30):
of the really woke BBC.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Thing to do.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
I want to get your views on trans athletes and sports.
You have been very aspected, so just looking on social media,
on Twitter and elsewhere, you said so for instance, you said,
it's not ful failed male athletes, whatever age, This is
not right and it's not fair just to use a
question of morality, isn't It's about justice, and as you cast,
it's about being fair to women who are participating.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Absolutely, and that there's a certain step ladder that you
have to go through before you get to elite sports.
So it starts really in high school and then you
come out to go into your local meat and there's
a there's a boy that now has a ponytail and
nail polish and identifies as a girl. That's all fine
and well, but the ponytail and air polish does not
(26:19):
a female make female make. And now these girls are like,
I can't compete against that.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
I have no chance.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
What do you think where tennis has got to Because
the WTA amidst transgender women to participate if A they
provide a written and signed declaration that they are female
or non binary. B the testosterone levels are below a
certain limit for two years and see they sustain those levels.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
What do you think about that position at the time,
I think I think it's wrong.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I think it's it's still wrong because number one, you
don't lose the five inches of built in height. Average
male is five inches taller than a female. Then you
add armlength, you got like seven inches. You got this
much height just here, so I have to jump this
much higher for an overhead.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
As the guy well andifies as a woman.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
The reporter is it's so funny because the reporter cannot
believe that she's actually explaining basic fairness and biology to him.
He's doing everything he can to try to get her
to capitulate that yes, transgender women should be allowed to
play in women's sports. No, they should not to.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Be on the same level.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
Recently, in the UK, the Supreme Court ruled that the
legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex.
Would you is your message to the world of tennis
that they should follow the leader of the UK Supreme
Court and be that clear in that definitive.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I think sports has always been on the front of
social change and social progress, and this way we can
be on it again in affirming the right of women
and girls to sex bas basis.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Let me just end being in the right side of
history for.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
One moment always, because one consequence of your taking those
us might be that people who are trans who've been
through terrible experiences many times, will face more public persecution
and they're already terribly persecuted, and that actually we should all,
including you, spend a bit more time being sympathetic to
what people who've gone through.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
That process, who've transitioned are experience.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Very sympathetic, but that still doesn't give them right into
women's sex based spaces.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
What about the women? What about the girls?
Speaker 1 (28:34):
And every athlete affects every girl on the pitch, on
the playing field.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I found this fascinating because I have said for probably months,
maybe a year now, are there not any women who
will actually stand up and speak on behalf of women
not having to compete against men who want to pretend
that they're women in women's sports. And of all people,
(29:02):
Martina Navaturlova shows up and she just speaks truth to
the BBC, and the BBC has a really hard time
dealing with it, which I find fantastic. It's the weekend
with Michael Brown text the word micro Michael whatever message
or comment. You have to this number three three one
zero three keyword Micha or Michael. Hang tight. I'll be
(29:23):
right back as always want to. I want to thank
everyone for tuning into the Weekend with Michael Brown. I
know you have other things to do, so whether you
listen live or your affiliate affiliate carries a program later
in the day, Samara, even tomorrow, whenever you listen or
via podcast, I appreciate you listening. I appreciate this audience.
(29:45):
It's a great audience and I consider an honor to
talk to you every single weekend. And again, if you'd
like what we do on the weekend, try to listen
during the week too, or at least download the podcast.
So building on what U she was just talking about.
With regard to transgenderism, it's not getting a lot of
(30:05):
coverage this week. It's not getting as much coverage as
I thought it would. But the US Supreme Court, in
a case called US versus Scurmetti, upheld a Tennessee law
which it was upheld sixty three which pretty much prevents
gender affirming care as it's described, which seemed orwellian to me.
(30:31):
Transgender surgeries, puberty blockers, et cetera from being performed on
children under the age of eighteen sixty three approval by
the US Supreme Court. It protects kids who have been
brainwashed or wrongly convinced that they were born in the
wrong body from ruining their anatomy with those puberty blockers
(30:52):
and the hormone therapy. And even as I say to
gender affirming care, you ever thought about, really how orwelly
in that is? Gender? Is your gender? You know, you're
born from your mother's womb. The doctor, you know, the
obstetrician delivers the baby carefully lays you over on the
(31:13):
tray with a blanket as they start to dab you
up and clean you up and cut the cord. And
the doctor looks down and affirms you are a boy
or a girl. Male or female. It's pretty easy to do. Yeah,
if you're confused yourself, you might look down and check
that is your sentence, That is your gender. So why
(31:35):
do we call it gender affirming care? The doctor's already
affirmed your gender when you were born. Now there is,
and I do not doubt there is a psychological, a
psychiatric problem called gender dysph you in which people are
truly confused about what they are. But I said that
that's a psychiatric problem, that's not a physical problem. So
(32:01):
Tennessee Senate Bill one basically says that we're not going
to do this in this state. And what was really
strong about the sixty three decision by the Supreme Court
written by the way I surprised but by Chief Justice
John Roberts, was the language. The language basically says that
(32:26):
this is an issue that is not a constitutional issue,
but one which should be decided by the people through
their elected representatives at the state. Does that sound familiar.
Oh yeah, that's the kind of language that they use
when they struck down Roe v. Wade. Justice Roberts, from
writing for the majority, said Senate Bill one prohibits healthcare
(32:49):
providers from administering these hormones, et cetera, to minors for
certain medical uses. When, for example, a transgender boy whose
biological sex is female takes pure every blockers to treat
his gender incongruence, he receives a different medical treatment than
a boy whose biological sex is male who takes puberty
blockers to treat his precocious puberty. In other words, wait
(33:14):
a minute, either way, you're trying to do something here
for a transgender boy that is treating oh, gender incongruence,
not precocious puberty. Now, Alito Thomas and others concurred in
that opinion. This is really good news because one it
(33:40):
is the first blow against this really minor I think
it's a significant issue, but it's a minority of people,
a tiny, tiny minority, and I believe you should protect
minority rights. But here we've gone over the deep end.
We've gone way too far, and now we're trying to
(34:00):
take something that is a psychiatric problem, treat it with
surgical by surgical means or pharmaceutical means as opposed to
dealing with the underlying psychological psychiatric problem. And the Court
has said this is not a constitutional issue.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
This is a.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
State issue that should be decided by the people. That
means that Congress step out of the way. State legislators,
you need to step up on this because for all
of the women who are being physically abused in many
cases by transgender women, men who want to transgender to
(34:42):
become women competing in their sports, Martine is right, there
are all the biological advantages. And to try to guilt
us into thinking that we have to accept that is
absolutely wrong now, so to my ore expectedly wrote the
(35:03):
descending opinion. She firmly believes that this decision is going
to cause irreparable harm to gender confuse children and their parents.
She wrote, the majority subjects the law that plainly discriminates
on the basis of sex to mere rational basis review.
By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most,
the court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims.
(35:28):
In sadness, I dissent, the left made this a political issue,
and therefore a political issue needs to be decided at
that level where the founding fathers intended these kinds of
issues to be decided, which is at the state legislative
(35:48):
legislative level. So if I live in a state where
I want to allow this, and I can get a
majority of people to do it, so be it. And
if I live in a state where a majority of
people don't want to, so be it. This is not
a violation of the equal Protection clause of the Unit
of the US Constitution, and therefore does belong at the
(36:11):
state legislative level. It's just an indication that finally, maybe
just finally, we're going to start backing away from this insanity,
utter insanity we're doing with children, a tiny, tiny, tiny
minority of children. If you have gender duph, you see
a psychiatrist. So Weekend with Michael Brown. Thanks for tuning in. Everybody,
(36:33):
have a great weekend. I'll see you next Saturday.
To night.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Michael Brown joins me here, the former FEMA director of talk.
Speaker 3 (00:03):
Show host Michael Brown. Brownie, No, Brownie, You're doing a
heck of a job. The Weekend with Michael Brown.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Broadcasting live from Denver, Colorado. It's the Weekend of Michael Brown.
Glad to have you joining the program today. A couple
of rules of engagement for you to actively participate in
the program. Uh, we just talked about crop yields the
world and data. I just put that chart on my
ex account if you want to see it, and while
you're there, follow me. It's at Michael Brown USA. At
(00:32):
Michael Brown USA. The text line is always open. That
whole conversation about dreamers and mission accomplished. Because the text
line just blew up and I don't want to dive
into all the texts. I'm not going to dive in
into any of them because I get other stories I
want to get to. But if I could show you
(00:53):
the text line, if I just somehow, uh it'd be
too small if I screenshot at it. But if I
were able to screenshot it and let you read it
on Twitter, on the website, you would see that it's
an issue that in terms of a political spectrum. Conservatives
and liberals are way over here on the left side
(01:15):
of the spectrum, and conservatives and liberals are way over
here on the right side of the political spectrum, and
then there's a whole bunch right there in the middle.
You're on right rest my case, because that proves the
point that it is a discussion that we are going
to have to have and people are Here's what I
would just encourage people to do. It is to be
(01:37):
nuanced in your thinking about how we're going to deal
with that issue, because we are going to have to
deal with it. The President is going to have to
deal with it, and I think he has logically and
rationally started the conversation by deporting criminal, illegal aliens, and
that's going to lead us once that is down to
(01:58):
a manageable number, which I think should be zero. But
when it gets to a manageable number, then he can
start the next phase of deportations. Eventually, we're going to
have to start discussing what to do with those who
were brought here illegally at the age of three and
or even the age of sixteen, seventeen, eighteen. What do
we do with them? And don't just reflexively say deport
(02:23):
them or allow them to stay. Think critically about it,
and you have to. And when you think critically about it,
you're going to have to think about the political ramifications,
because if you want to stay in political power as conservatives,
(02:44):
you're going to have to give a little bit and
to staunchly say I will not move an inch. We'll
get you nowhere. And so it's it's what you know.
For example, I'm pretty much an absolutist on gun control.
I think the Second Amendment is boom. It says what
it says, and the only exceptions I would have would be,
(03:05):
you know, if you're a felon or you've been convicted
of felony, then I don't think you have a right
to keep them bear arms. There are some people who
are even more radical to me and say they even
disagree with that exception. But when it comes to these
so called dreamers, I know it's a name given to
them by the left. I'm not that big of an idiot,
(03:29):
but don't let that dissuade you from thinking in a nuanced,
rational and logical way about what is morally and legally
right to do with those kids. Because you're gonna have
to face the issue. And that's why we elected Trump
(03:49):
was to start dealing with these these issues head on.
So get ready anyway, if you're going back to if
you want to, if you want to see the data
on crop yields and how as we've gotten warmer since
the nineteen sixties, which we have no reason to deny
that crop yields of increase. That's over on at Michael
(04:12):
Brown USA on X. Now moving on the unpleasant site
of the Governor of Illinois, J.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
JB.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Pritzker just brings one word to mind, pork. Pork. At
fifty two point two billion dollars in general fund spending,
Governor Pritzker signed the biggest budget in state history. The
fiscal year twenty twenty six budget is up two billion
(04:44):
dollars from last year, propped up by more than one
point five billion in revenue that was projected but other
forecasts said was iffy. Buried in the three thousand, three
hundred plus pages of the Illinois budget are hundreds of
local quote member initiative earmarks that benefit only Democrat districts.
(05:10):
That means four point three million citizens of Illinois one
in three was excluded from the pork projects their taxes
supported in other legislative districts. That comes from a group
called Illinois Policy dot Org. Now, if that's not new,
(05:31):
Democrats have firm control. This is an example, much like Colorado,
much like California, Massachusetts, New York. This is what happens
when Democrats have firm control of a state. I'm just
using Illinois, Illinois as an example because this organization, the
Illinois Policy dot Org group, had this in one of
(05:54):
the reports. So governments become for them a spoils system.
There was an investigative report from twenty twenty two that
found a total of three hundred and sixty eight million
dollars for House Democrats and three hundred twenty six million
dollars for Senate Democrats. Zero was included for Republicans in
(06:15):
either the Illinois House or the Illinois Senate. Now lording
over all of that port is the leftist boutacrat Marxist
oligarch because he's a Hyatt family member. Is JB. Pritzker,
who desperately wants to be another Grover Cleveland. What I
(06:35):
mean by that one of the fattest presidents in US history.
So while individual Democrat legislators are primarily focused on budgets
for their own districts. I thought the governor was elected
to serve all of a state. Now he has just
like all of the governors, he has the power to
veto very specific sections of an appropriation bill that he
(06:58):
disagrees with. That's called an item veto, a line item veto.
Lots of states have that. But do you think he's
going to reign in the partisan pork fest. Of course
he's not going to do that. Meanwhile, while he refuses
to do that, the red carpet welcome matt for again
illegal aliens remains in place in that sanctuary state because
(07:20):
why well, because they want to increase democrats demographic leverage.
Why are points have some questions for the for Governor Pork,
we'll call him Governor Pork. How do you justify spending
more than one and a half billion dollars of Illinois
taxpayer dollars on healthcare for illegal immigrants when Chicago has
the highest black poverty rate in the country among the
nation's biggest cities. Ooh, that's an impertinent question. I don't
(07:44):
think a democratic government would want to talk about that.
If you're a poor person without or suffering from a
lack of health care or substandard healthcare in Illinois, and
your governor is taking one point five billion dollars out
of the private sector through taxes and giving it to
illegal alias, I'd have questions too, or this question, how
(08:06):
do you justify spending hundreds of millions of dollars, if
not billions, on illegal non English speaking children at Chicago
public schools when the school district is already rated, faces
a billion dollar deficit, and has just twenty one percent
of black students who can read a grade level. And
then the last question, And then I want to make
(08:27):
a comment, how do you justify the billion spent on
illegal migrants when ill citizens of Illinois already pay the
nation's highest property taxes, the second highest gas taxes, and
the highest cell phone taxes. All great questions. When you
have almost a fourth of black students that can only
(08:52):
a fourth of black students that can read a grade level,
meaning upwards of seventy five percent cannot read at grade level,
it shows that money dollars spent on schools does not
equal equality education, So throwing more money at schools is
(09:14):
not the solution. Perhaps eliminating teachers' union might be a
good start, but I think we all just completely bust up,
blow up if you will, public schools, government run schools,
because that's what you get. But when you think about it,
Chicago's massive black vote doesn't really empower blacks at all.
(09:35):
It just empowers the Democrats because by ensconsing the likes
of Governor Pork pritick Er Pork empower it is lik
in California with Newsom or Colorado with police, it is
pulling the entire state down, the Democrat death spiral.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Governor Pritstan have the highest duty to protect the people
of my state. Indeed, if Tom Holman were to come
to try to arrest us me rather, I can say
first of all that he can try. I can also
tell you that I will stand in the way of
Tom Holman going after people who don't deserve to be
(10:16):
frightened in their communities, who don't deserve to be threatened terrorized.
I would rather that he came and arrested me than
do that to the people of my state.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Okay, Tom Holman, go arrest Governor port It's a weekend
with Michael Brown. Text line is open number three three
ones Evel three keyword, Michael Michael be right back. Hey,
it's the Weekend with Michael Brown. Glad to have you
with me. I appreciate you tuning in. So somebody was
(10:47):
just I was just looking through my x timeline at
Michael Brown USA. Go follow me over there right now.
I just replied to somebody, you know, if you can't
listen during the weekday, don't forget. I mean, so somebody
on the Twitter feeds said, I love the weekend show,
but I can't listen during the week because I'm at work. Well,
(11:08):
subscribe to the podcast. That's really easy to do on
any podcast app. Doesn't make any difference which one it is.
Just search for the situation with Michael Brown, the situation
with Michael Brown. Once you hit that subscribe button, that
will Depending on how you have your app set up,
it should download all five days of the weekday program
(11:29):
plus the weekend program, and then you've got all the
Michael Brown you need. You've got six days of me.
So even though you may be working, get that podcast
loaded up. I think one of the most gut wrenchingly
vile of all of the useful idiots on the left
is the ladies of the view and of all of them,
(11:54):
this is a well, it's probably a tie among all
five of them, but probably one of the worst is
will be going Berg. She here's this unskilled let me
be fair, talent wise, she's probably a good actress. Have
you seen her. She plays a very minor role in
(12:16):
the The Godfather of Harlem. That's a great series. I
forget whether it's Netflix or Amazon, but it's it's about
Harlem in the in the early sixties. And oh, I
can't remember the actor's name, Forrest Whittaker. Thank you, Michael's
Forest Whittaker plays the Godfather of Harlem and Whoopi Goldberg
(12:40):
is his accountant. She doesn't appear in every episode, but
she is a good actress. I give her that. Otherwise
she doesn't have any talents. She really doesn't. So listen
as she compares the repressive savagery, savagery that prevails in
(13:02):
Iran to the obsequious faith favoritism that her fellow blacks
receive in this country.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Just listen to this, and it's slow.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Let's just remember too, the Iranians literally throw gay people
off of buildings. They don't have a sure to basic
humanist here's this, let's not.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Let's me not do that.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Let's not do that, because if we start with that,
we had we have been known in this country to
tie gay folks to the car.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Where addition hanging black people, so not even the same.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I can't even let it keep running. Yes, we had that.
We had those guys that tired tied a black man
to a car in Texas. I didn't think he was gay.
Maybe he was, I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
We had this story about the kid in Wyoming that
was beat to death and left to hang on a fence.
Now turns out he was gay. But it wasn't because
he was gay that he got beat up. It was
because over a bad drug deal. What she totally misses
is that when they hang gay people from the cranes
(14:19):
in Tehran, that is government sanctioned, sanctioned murder. That is
government sanctioned racism, That is government sanctioned homophobia. We don't
sanction that in this country. The people who kill gay people,
whether they kill him because they're gay or just for
(14:40):
a bad drug deal, get tried and convicted of murder
through due process. This is why I say she really
is a dumbasses.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
What you mean to say it is the same.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
No, No, the year twenty twenty five unit STIs is
nothing like if I stopp foot wearing.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
That young people, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
I mean, I can't have my hair showing, I can't
wear a skirt, I can't have my.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Age.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
I literally said it was up to the Iranian people
to hit it up.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
And that's why I am saying that it is the same.
Murdering someone for their difference is not good.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Whoever done it's not good.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
So that's why I said you you weren't saying what
you What I heard was not what you meant.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
I think it's very different in the United States in
twenty twenty five than it.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Is to live in a lot for everybody, not every
black guys.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Do not know you're the sad party is I've always
said this. People ask me sometimes why do you play
the view they're such idiots? Well, because one I like
to make fun of them for their idiocracy, but two,
I want you to think about who's behind the camera. No,
not who's in front of the camera, who's behind the camera.
(16:05):
I refer to them as the seals. Like you go
to you know, you go to uh water World or someplace,
or you see where you go, Yeah, you go to
see not water World. Not you go to see World
and you see the seals clapping to get the fish.
That's what all the people in the audience are doing.
They're idiots too.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Let me tell you about being in this country. This
is the greatest country in the world. But yeah, I
know that, I know that, and we all know that.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
But every day we are worried. Do we have to
be worried about our kids?
Speaker 6 (16:40):
Are their kids going to get shot because they're running
through somebody's neighborhood. These are there. They are not big deals.
And I don't mean to say they're not big deals
to you because that's all the women are men.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
They are not doing well. They're either they are not
doing well an Iran.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
They are not educated.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
They can't everybody I'm talking, No, nobody wants said.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
It diminish them. Very real problems we have in this country.
Win's intent, but I think it's important we remember there
are places much darker than this country and people who
deserve right.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Not everybody feels that way. Not everybody feels that way. Listen,
I'm sorry. You know when you think about the fact
that we were we got the vote in nineteen sixty five.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Okay, they don't have free and fair elections in Iran.
It's not even the same universe.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
They can't go out of their house women.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
You know what, Oh, isn't that amazing. I think it's
very different to live in the United States in twenty
twenty five than it is to live in Iran. Not
if you're black. There's the money quote and the Seals
clap on cue. I'll be right back.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Tonight.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Michael Brown joins me here, the former FEMA director.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Of talk show host Michael Brown.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Rownie, no, Brownie, You're doing a heck of a job
the Weekend with Michael Brown.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Hey, welcome back to the Weekend with Michael Brown. Glad
to have you with me. I appreciate you tuning in.
Go follow me on x formerly Twitter at Michael Brown USA,
and don't forget subscribe to the podcast. I'm interested. I
just found it interesting that on x one of my
followers said, well, we'd love to listen to the weekday program,
(18:20):
but we can't because we're working. That's why God invented podcasts,
although iHeart would say they invented podcasts, and it's really
easy to do on your podcast app just search for
the situation with Michael Brown, hit that subscribe button, leave
a five star review because that helps us get up
in the in the rankings. And then you've got all
(18:42):
five days of the weekday program plus the weekend program,
so you can listen to the weekday program, and you know,
depending what you do at work, you could kind of
plug it into your earbut and just listen to me
while you're doing whatever you're supposed to be doing. With
regard to the messages, let me just say, for those
(19:03):
of you who sent me text messages who are asking
me to explain Whoopi Goldberg, there's only a limited amount
of brain power that I have, and I don't want
to waste my brain power trying to get down to
her way of thinking to help you understand what the
hell she's talking about. The absolute insanity that is Whoopy
(19:30):
Goldberg is indeed just that absolute insanity. But it gives
you Again, I love playing it because it is insane. Two,
it reminds It helps me remind you that there are
a lot of useful idiots out there that you know,
you go to New York City, Well, if you go
to New York City and you want to see, you know,
(19:51):
daytime television, or for that matter, one of the late
night programs. Well that's fine, you know, but just because
the audience signs as applause doesn't mean you have to applause,
doesn't mean you have to agree with them. And by
the way, I would recommend that you go do something
else worthwhile. Go to the Museum of Natural History, go
(20:13):
to Little Italy, go to Ground zero. Yeah, that's a
much better use of your time than going to watch
one of the daytime programs, which you can get free
tickets to. But just because you can doesn't mean you should.
There is a huge divide, I think, between those who
lack any sort of critical thinking skills, who are goible
(20:35):
enough to buy whatever liberal, Marxist progressive narrative is being sold,
and those who are not You and me. Now, this
is good news for those of us who are conservatives,
because the propaganda that's coming out of the Democrats these
days is heavy handed and just stupid enough to make
(20:56):
all but the dimmest bulbs just burst into bright liight right,
and also kind of make you laugh out loud. This
is something. This is a little short, thirty second advertisement
from a group called Progress Action Fund. This is their
(21:16):
actual motto. You can if you don't believe me, you
can go to their website. Don't do it because I
don't want to be any hits, but just so you'll know,
I'm not making this up. Progressactionfund dot com dot com.
Their actual motto is when Republicans go low, we go lower.
(21:39):
I think they're wasting their money because anyone who is
dumb enough, dimb enough, stupid enough to be convinced by
the ad that you're about to hear, I don't. I'm
not sure that if you're dumb enough, or if a
majority of people are not dumb enough to believe this ad,
then this country has no right to this in itself
(22:01):
from foreign invasion that's brought in here to vote Democrat.
Listen to this now. I know you can't see it,
but it's suffice it to say. It's two young white
kids who are obviously on a date of some sort,
(22:21):
and the men in black show up.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Yeah, me too, when you do it, change coming with us?
Who are you talking about? Who are you? I'm your
Republican congressman. Now that we're in charge, we're rounding up illegals.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
She was born.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Here's the citizen. I don't care she looks like one
of them, but don't worry. When she's imprisoned in the Salvador,
you have loss for me.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
The homegrowns are next, they claim. Now the Marxist over
at Newsweek report that pro Democrat Progress Action Fund was
founded by former Obama administration staffers. Are you surprised by that?
I mean it's basically saying, hey, I'm your Republican congressman,
(23:16):
and now that we're in charge, if you just look
like any illegal in other words, you got brown skin,
or I don't know, you got black skin, you have
Asian eyes, I guess we're coming for you. So latinos
Asians blacks lookout, because the white Republican congressman is coming.
(23:38):
You're gonna haul you wait and send you del Salvador,
particularly if you're a cute white female. Are you surprised
that former staffers from the Obama administration founded this group? Now,
a press person for the current administration, Abigail Jackson, wasn't
(23:59):
very impressed with this quote. This is clearly just a
sad attempt to distract from the violent Democrat rioters in
Los Angeles who want to keep criminal illegal aliens in
American communities. Okay, yes, I agree, but it serves a purpose,
and you and I need to understand this. It serves
(24:22):
to inspire the true believer dumbasses to go out there
and throw more rocks at law enforcement, to set more
cars on fire, to try to interfere with more immigrations
and customs enforcement raids, to go beat up on cops,
to go try to lock them in their buildings and
burn the building down, to throw rocks at cars, to
(24:46):
block interstate highways, to do everything that's going on with
you know, the no Kings or whatever. It was stupidity
to go out and continue to do that. That's precisely
what they're trying to do. And you've got to be
really so sort of dummy to fall for that. I
just I'll put that up on my next timeline in
(25:06):
a minute too, because it's it's freaking hilarious. Now, we
know the journalists are supposed to ask questions, you're not
supposed to go out and spout lies, right, yet, watch
what happens when Martina Navatrolova, she's a tennis legend, she
attempts to explain basic fairness and biology to a reporter
(25:30):
of the really woke BBC.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Thing to do.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
I want to get your views on trans athletes and sports.
You have been very aspected, so just looking on social media,
on Twitter and elsewhere, you said so for instance, you said,
it's not ful failed male athletes, whatever age, This is
not right and it's not fair just to use a
question of morality, isn't It's about justice, and as you cast,
it's about being fair to women who are participating.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Absolutely, and that there's a certain step ladder that you
have to go through before you get to elite sports.
So it starts really in high school and then you
come out to go into your local meat and there's
a there's a boy that now has a ponytail and
nail polish and identifies as a girl. That's all fine
and well, but the ponytail and air polish does not
(26:19):
a female make female make. And now these girls are like,
I can't compete against that.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
I have no chance.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
What do you think where tennis has got to Because
the WTA amidst transgender women to participate if A they
provide a written and signed declaration that they are female
or non binary. B the testosterone levels are below a
certain limit for two years and see they sustain those levels.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
What do you think about that position at the time,
I think I think it's wrong.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I think it's it's still wrong because number one, you
don't lose the five inches of built in height. Average
male is five inches taller than a female. Then you
add armlength, you got like seven inches. You got this
much height just here, so I have to jump this
much higher for an overhead.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
As the guy well andifies as a woman.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
The reporter is it's so funny because the reporter cannot
believe that she's actually explaining basic fairness and biology to him.
He's doing everything he can to try to get her
to capitulate that yes, transgender women should be allowed to
play in women's sports. No, they should not to.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Be on the same level.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
Recently, in the UK, the Supreme Court ruled that the
legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex.
Would you is your message to the world of tennis
that they should follow the leader of the UK Supreme
Court and be that clear in that definitive.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I think sports has always been on the front of
social change and social progress, and this way we can
be on it again in affirming the right of women
and girls to sex bas basis.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Let me just end being in the right side of
history for.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
One moment always, because one consequence of your taking those
us might be that people who are trans who've been
through terrible experiences many times, will face more public persecution
and they're already terribly persecuted, and that actually we should all,
including you, spend a bit more time being sympathetic to
what people who've gone through.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
That process, who've transitioned are experience.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Very sympathetic, but that still doesn't give them right into
women's sex based spaces.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
What about the women? What about the girls?
Speaker 1 (28:34):
And every athlete affects every girl on the pitch, on
the playing field.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I found this fascinating because I have said for probably months,
maybe a year now, are there not any women who
will actually stand up and speak on behalf of women
not having to compete against men who want to pretend
that they're women in women's sports. And of all people,
(29:02):
Martina Navaturlova shows up and she just speaks truth to
the BBC, and the BBC has a really hard time
dealing with it, which I find fantastic. It's the weekend
with Michael Brown text the word micro Michael whatever message
or comment. You have to this number three three one
zero three keyword Micha or Michael. Hang tight. I'll be
(29:23):
right back as always want to. I want to thank
everyone for tuning into the Weekend with Michael Brown. I
know you have other things to do, so whether you
listen live or your affiliate affiliate carries a program later
in the day, Samara, even tomorrow, whenever you listen or
via podcast, I appreciate you listening. I appreciate this audience.
(29:45):
It's a great audience and I consider an honor to
talk to you every single weekend. And again, if you'd
like what we do on the weekend, try to listen
during the week too, or at least download the podcast.
So building on what U she was just talking about.
With regard to transgenderism, it's not getting a lot of
(30:05):
coverage this week. It's not getting as much coverage as
I thought it would. But the US Supreme Court, in
a case called US versus Scurmetti, upheld a Tennessee law
which it was upheld sixty three which pretty much prevents
gender affirming care as it's described, which seemed orwellian to me.
(30:31):
Transgender surgeries, puberty blockers, et cetera from being performed on
children under the age of eighteen sixty three approval by
the US Supreme Court. It protects kids who have been
brainwashed or wrongly convinced that they were born in the
wrong body from ruining their anatomy with those puberty blockers
(30:52):
and the hormone therapy. And even as I say to
gender affirming care, you ever thought about, really how orwelly
in that is? Gender? Is your gender? You know, you're
born from your mother's womb. The doctor, you know, the
obstetrician delivers the baby carefully lays you over on the
(31:13):
tray with a blanket as they start to dab you
up and clean you up and cut the cord. And
the doctor looks down and affirms you are a boy
or a girl. Male or female. It's pretty easy to do. Yeah,
if you're confused yourself, you might look down and check
that is your sentence, That is your gender. So why
(31:35):
do we call it gender affirming care? The doctor's already
affirmed your gender when you were born. Now there is,
and I do not doubt there is a psychological, a
psychiatric problem called gender dysph you in which people are
truly confused about what they are. But I said that
that's a psychiatric problem, that's not a physical problem. So
(32:01):
Tennessee Senate Bill one basically says that we're not going
to do this in this state. And what was really
strong about the sixty three decision by the Supreme Court
written by the way I surprised but by Chief Justice
John Roberts, was the language. The language basically says that
(32:26):
this is an issue that is not a constitutional issue,
but one which should be decided by the people through
their elected representatives at the state. Does that sound familiar.
Oh yeah, that's the kind of language that they use
when they struck down Roe v. Wade. Justice Roberts, from
writing for the majority, said Senate Bill one prohibits healthcare
(32:49):
providers from administering these hormones, et cetera, to minors for
certain medical uses. When, for example, a transgender boy whose
biological sex is female takes pure every blockers to treat
his gender incongruence, he receives a different medical treatment than
a boy whose biological sex is male who takes puberty
blockers to treat his precocious puberty. In other words, wait
(33:14):
a minute, either way, you're trying to do something here
for a transgender boy that is treating oh, gender incongruence,
not precocious puberty. Now, Alito Thomas and others concurred in
that opinion. This is really good news because one it
(33:40):
is the first blow against this really minor I think
it's a significant issue, but it's a minority of people,
a tiny, tiny minority, and I believe you should protect
minority rights. But here we've gone over the deep end.
We've gone way too far, and now we're trying to
(34:00):
take something that is a psychiatric problem, treat it with
surgical by surgical means or pharmaceutical means as opposed to
dealing with the underlying psychological psychiatric problem. And the Court
has said this is not a constitutional issue.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
This is a.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
State issue that should be decided by the people. That
means that Congress step out of the way. State legislators,
you need to step up on this because for all
of the women who are being physically abused in many
cases by transgender women, men who want to transgender to
(34:42):
become women competing in their sports, Martine is right, there
are all the biological advantages. And to try to guilt
us into thinking that we have to accept that is
absolutely wrong now, so to my ore expectedly wrote the
(35:03):
descending opinion. She firmly believes that this decision is going
to cause irreparable harm to gender confuse children and their parents.
She wrote, the majority subjects the law that plainly discriminates
on the basis of sex to mere rational basis review.
By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most,
the court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims.
(35:28):
In sadness, I dissent, the left made this a political issue,
and therefore a political issue needs to be decided at
that level where the founding fathers intended these kinds of
issues to be decided, which is at the state legislative
(35:48):
legislative level. So if I live in a state where
I want to allow this, and I can get a
majority of people to do it, so be it. And
if I live in a state where a majority of
people don't want to, so be it. This is not
a violation of the equal Protection clause of the Unit
of the US Constitution, and therefore does belong at the
(36:11):
state legislative level. It's just an indication that finally, maybe
just finally, we're going to start backing away from this insanity,
utter insanity we're doing with children, a tiny, tiny, tiny
minority of children. If you have gender duph, you see
a psychiatrist. So Weekend with Michael Brown. Thanks for tuning in. Everybody,
(36:33):
have a great weekend. I'll see you next Saturday.
