time six to ten mountain time, and this is six
thirty khow six thirty khow, So be sure and tune
(01:05):
in during the weekday if you like what we do
on the weekend. Daniel Johnyon Park, who's the alleged accomplice
of the Palm Springs fertility bomber, died by suicide after
jumping from a high balcony inside a prison facility. That's
pretty gutsy and maybe a design flaw. He was accused
of supplying the chemicals to the Palm Springs fertility clinic bomber,
(01:28):
Guy Edward Barcas. He was found in response, even later
pronounced that at the hospital earlier this week. He Barcas
died in the initial explosion back on May seventeen, outside
the American Reproductive Center's fertility clinic Gout in California. The
FBI investigated the incident as an intentional act of terrorism
(01:52):
motivated by extreme pro mortalism, anti natalism, and anti pro
life ideology. Okay, I get that under federal law. Now
don't again. Why do I feel this compulsion to make
sure I put out these caveats. I'm not at all
(02:14):
in any way condoning the bombing of a fertility clinic
or the bombing of anything other than our enemies, say
the you know, the Iranian nuclear facilities. But are we
not carrying acts of terrorism a little overboard? Now? To me,
it's like hate crimes. If if you murder me because
(02:39):
you don't like me, Okay, well it's still murder. If
you murder me because I'm a white guy, and that's
a hate crime, I'm still dead. You still committed murder.
I've never liked the idea of piling on charges based
upon uh hate. Well, I feel the same way about
(02:59):
these terror charges. Now I get that what it does
it allows the prosecutor in this case, US attorney to
pile on charges and that you know, is going to guarantee,
you know, perhaps guarantee either more consecutive life sentences or
perhaps the death penalty. I mean, any number of reasons
(03:19):
to do so. But when you prove, as they would
have to do in a court of law, that this
y'all who was motivated by extreme pro mortalism, anti natalism,
and anti pro life ideology, are we not beginning to
stretch terrorism? And I understand that it's based on the ideology,
(03:44):
and indeed, if he was, if it was proven that
he was motivated by those ideologies, I get that it
means the definition of terrorism, but you scrape all of
that away. He's still blew up a reproductive fertility clinic.
(04:07):
Is that not good enough now? His cohort that just
committed suicide shipped one hundred and eighty pounds of ammonium
nitrate to Bark just back in January, and another ninety
pounds just days before the explosion. The blast destroyed much
of the clinic. It shattered nearby windows, but no embryos
were harmed. He was arrested June third at JFK in
(04:29):
New York. Faces are faced up because he's dead. Now
face up to fifteen years in federal prison for providing
those or providing material support to Barks, the original bomber.
It's very similar to what happened in terms of the
(04:50):
methodology used, similar to the Oklahoma City bombing in nineteen
ninety five. But here's what Pam Bondi said following the arrest.
This defended charged with facilitating a horrific attack on a
fertility center in California. Bringing chaos and violence to a
facility that exists to help women and mothers is a
particularly cruel, disgusting crime that strikes at the very heart
(05:12):
of our shared humanity. I just wanted to say, your
God definitely does not exist, but if he did, I'd
choose Satan over your evil God. Did you ever think
that maybe the Bible's just slander against Satan and that
Satan this is Marcus speaking, and that Satan just realized
what an effing creep your God is. That was his
part of his manifesto. Okay, so the guy's a dirt bag.
(05:36):
He's a dirt bag that committed a horrendous crime, charging
with blowing up a building. Adding on the terrorism charge
leads to I think the potential for abuse in the future.
So even though he met the definition of terrorism, I
(06:01):
consider it to be a lot like a hate crime.
And I just think we're taking some things a little
too far. And other news, Germany is now urging Apple
and Google. They want them to block access to the
Chinese AI artificial intelligence app deep Seek from all their
(06:21):
app stores over user privacy. The Berlin Commissioner for Data
Protection and Freedom of Information, Mikey komp alleges that deep Seek,
that's the Chinese AI app, transfers users personal data to
communist China and that violates the EU's data protection regulations.
(06:42):
Komp claims that Deep Seek did not supply her office
with sufficient evidence that the app conforms to EU privacy laws,
and she warned that Chinese authorities have far reaching access
rights to personal data within the sphere of influence of
Chinese companies. Sherlock, I don't know how much more it's
(07:03):
going to take for us to realize that we are
at war with the Chinese Communist Party and the at
least the EU is recognizing that you have you ever
logged onto a foreign website. You know how domestically we
get you know this little pop up about you know,
(07:23):
accept or reject cookies. Well, if you ever look at
the EU websites, it's much more in depth than that.
They really do try to protect your privacy to some degree. Now,
whether it's overboard or not, I tend to think that
it's not overboard. Because of what the Chinese Communist Party
is doing. They now demand the Germans do at least
(07:45):
that deep seak either conform to their privacy laws or
that they remove the app from the German market entirely,
and deep Seek is refusing to take any action. So
other EU member states like Italy they're starting to make
the same demands to the deep seek, and they've actually
gone so far as to block the app from the
app stores in their countries. Now they're not the only
(08:06):
Chinese app to be accused of violating privacy. We go
back to twenty twenty one. That's when the Netherlands first
sued TikTok for violating children's privacy, and then in twenty
twenty three, the EU regulators find TikTok in additionals three
hundred and sixty eight million dollars or euros for violating
(08:27):
those privacy laws, which brings me to the point. We
have long considered banning TikTok because of their links with
the Chinese Communist Party, actually passing legislation that mandates that
the Chinese parent company called byte Edance, divest TikTok in
(08:48):
order for it to keep doing business in this country.
Trump's delayed the ban while negotiations continued to sell the company.
It's now, as I'm podcasting live today June twenty eighth,
we're more than five months since the inauguration, TikTok still operating.
(09:13):
In fact, I just happened to get a TikTok to
look at on my text message. Are we really going
to be serious about stopping the Chinese Communist Party from
using our data? Are we just going to keep putting
it off? Kudos to the EU for at least threatening
to shut it down, which I think they will do
unless they comply. Here. The one beef I have with
(09:37):
Trump is the continued delay of TikTok. Either force them
to sell or ban it, because TikTok does turn over
all that data to the Chinese Communist Party, and indeed
we are at war with them. It's about time we
recognize it. I'll be right back. Hey, So weekend with
(10:03):
Michael Brown. Thanks for tuning in. I appreciate you listening
on the weekends. Text any message you have or question
you have to three three one zero three keyword micro Michael.
Do me a favor, Go follow me on X formally
Twitter at Michael Brown USA. I think Donald Trump should
receive the Peace Prize. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded
(10:23):
annually by the Norwegian Nobel Committee. That's all based on
the last will and testament of Alfred Nobel and it
specifies that the Peace Prize in particular, because you know
you got the Nobel Prize in mathematics, physics, and economics
and all that stuff. But the Peace Prize should go
(10:45):
to the person who shall have done the most or
the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition
or reduction of standing armies, and for the holding promotion
of peace congresses. Now that's the original language in the will. Now,
over time, the interpretation of that criteria has evolved and
(11:05):
the Committee considers a broader range of contributions to peace. Obviously,
so because what was that old guy's name, Barack. He
was the first black president or the first Asian president,
and he was going to fundamentally transform the United States,
Remember that guy, and he held the soaring rhetoric. Everybody
(11:29):
thought he was a wonderful speaker. Obama, Yeah, Barack Obama,
that was the guy's name. Remember he got the Nobel
Peace Prize before he was even inaugurated. Now Trump was
inaugurated back January twentieth, so you know, more than five
months ago. Now, so I think that Trump ought to
get it, and I'll explain why in a second. But
(11:50):
here are the standards. There are five standards to consider
the first one is promotion of peace and fraternity between nations,
This includes things like resolving conflicts check brokrem peace agreements check.
Fostering international cooperation check you know those. It'd be like
(12:15):
mediating a treaty or reducing tensions between nations. Check we
get all of that right. Disarmament or reduction to military forces.
That's the second one. Contributions to reducing arms, nuclear proliferation,
or military conflicts are valued. Maybe advocating for disarmament treaties. Okay,
I think we can check that. Because of the Congo,
we'll get that. A second number three, promotion of peace congresses. Yeah,
(12:39):
maybe not, but you know, if Obama can get Asoka Trump,
this would involve organizing or supporting platforms for dialogue, diplomacy,
or peace negotiations, including you know, holding in international summar conferences. Well,
maybe check that because he had he had NATO this
past week. For humanitarian and social justice efforts. Now, in
(13:01):
modern times, the Nobel Peace Prize is also recognized work
in human rights, environmental protection, humanitarian aid because they see
those as some sort of lasting foundation to peace. So
if you're engaged in, say combating poverty, oppression, or climate change,
it would be honored. He may not meet that crimetery
but who cares. And then the last one is impact
(13:25):
and sustainability. So they looked for tangible, lasting results or
it's some sort of significant step toward peace through either
somebody or or some inspirational effort. That can you know
that they can actually recognize. Oh, look look at what
he did. Now, members of national assemblies, governments, international organizations, professors,
(13:50):
past brisk recipients. It's pretty broad. Who can make the nomination.
And I actually think some people have nominated to Trump.
I'll see if I can find that in a second.
So you got five committees on the Nobel Committee. They're
appointed by their Norwegian parliament. They evaluate the nominees, they
(14:11):
select the winner through a confidential process that nobody knows about.
And I would remind you that there are no strict
pre rerequisites, no requirements. So I would consider that maybe
Trump ought to get it. Why, well, let's work our
(14:33):
way backwards. A US broker peace agreement between Rwanda and
the Democratic Republic of Congo was signed just yesterday Friday,
with the aim of ending a conflict that has resulted
in thousands of deaths and the displacements of hundreds of
thousands of people this year, let alone the years before
(14:57):
that it's gone on and the Trump administration, including Secretary
Saint Marco Rubio, facilitated that agreement. They signed an agreement
overseen by the Secretary of State. There's a ninety day
timeline for the Rwandan troops to withdraw from the Eastern Congo.
It requires both parties to launch a regional economic framework
(15:18):
within the same period. I find this fascinating because you
know what Trump's doing. Trump is using trade, commerce, the
economy to spread peace in the Middle East. He's talked
about how he wants to move it from conflict to cooperation,
(15:41):
to make it a trade zone for people to start,
you know, exchanging goods and services. Trump said they were
going at it for many years with machetes. It's one
of the worst, one of the worst wars that anybody's
ever seen. And I just happened to have somebody that
was able to get it settled. And then he says,
we're getting for the United States. A lot of the
(16:03):
mineral rights from the Congo is part of it. They're
so honored to be here. They never thought they'd be coming.
And indeed, the Congo is a key source of critical minerals, cobalt,
In fact, cobalt accounts for sixty percent of the supplies
worldwide just from the Congo. Yeah, I think that just
(16:24):
that alone. It's now my honor to invite the parties
to sign the peace agreement to be witnessed by Secretary
of Ruvial. And they're all signing. I'll just stop there.
They're signing it. The point is he seems to be
(16:46):
meeting the prerequisites to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. I said,
let's work backwards. Have we forgotten about the Abraham Accords
from twenty twenty. That's the normalization agree much between Israel
and the United Arab Emirates, by Rain, Sudan and Morocco.
(17:06):
And I think that when he was in Cutter and
the UAE and Saudi Arabia a few weeks ago, I
think he talked to them one about how he was
going to probably bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran. I think
he told him that just be quiet, don't say anything,
let me do my job and then we'll go from there.
(17:30):
Those agreements marked a huge step between diplomatic relations and
economic cooperation in the Middle East, and then the fraternity
between nations. Excuse me, he's getting he's getting NATO to
do what he's asked Natal to do for We've asked
Natal to do for decades. Up the ANTE. Think about
(17:54):
that and no new wars. Yeah, Trump deserves the Nobel
Peace for guys. Tonight, Michael Brown joins me here, the
former FEMA director of talk show host Michael Brown. Brownie, No, Brownie,
You're doing a heck of a job The Weekend with
(18:14):
Michael Brown. Hey, welcome back to the Weekend with Michael Brown.
Glad to have you with me. Be sure and subscribe
to the podcast on your podcast app, search for the
Situation with Michael Brown, The Situation with Michael Brown, Hit
that subscribe button and then leave a five star review,
and then set it to automatically download all five days
of the weekday morning program plus the weekend program that
(18:36):
you get all the Michael Brown you need. So speaking
of these prizes clinges the opposite direction. A Pulcher Prize
winning video journalist who is employed by The Washington Post
has been arrested in charge by the Department of Justice
with possession of child porn. Thomas faum Legroe appeared yesterday
(18:58):
in Eusta Street Court after the charges were announced by
US Attorney Janine Piro. Judge Piro, she's back as the
acting US attorney for the DC Circuit. Congratulations, Judge. The
Washington Post journalist who serves as the Jeff Bezos owned
newspaper's deputy director of video, was taken into custody by
(19:21):
the FBI just Thursday following a raid on his residence.
Now inside his home, Lagrow's home, the FBI found a
work laptop, not a personal laptop, a Washington Post laptop which,
upon examination was discovered it came to contain a folder
that had eleven videos depicting child sexual abuse material. And
(19:46):
then the agents noted in their report that they observed
what appeared to be fractured pieces of a hard drive
in the hallway outside the room where Lagro's work laptop
was found. Now here's why I find this story interesting.
The grow the guy I just told you about, was
(20:08):
part of a team of journalists at the Washington Post
that won a prize a Pulacher Prize in twenty eighteen
for their coverage of the Senate race in Alabama. That's
the one where former State Supreme Court justice and Republican
candidate Roy Moore was accused of sexually assaulting several women
(20:29):
when they were under age. More denied those sexual assault allegations,
though he did acknowledge that he may have dated teenagers
when he was in his late twenties and early thirties.
So the guy that was part of the team that
went after Roy Moore in Alabama for dating teenagers when
(20:49):
he was in his twenties has now been charged with
child porn. I'm not laughing about the child porn, trust me,
I'm not laughing about that. But wait to hear this.
This is not the first Washington Post journalists to face
(21:11):
allegations of concerning behavior regarding minors. Former Washington Post reporter
Taylor Lorenz is also accused. Emphasized the word accused of
inappropriately interacting with teenagers on social media, often she would
feature them in her stories. In January of this Year's
(21:34):
of this year, twenty twenty five, the newspaper's anti Trump
cartoonist Darren Bell was also arrested on child porn allegations.
The FBI in that case discovered one hundred and thirty
four videos of child sex abuse material on an account
(21:54):
that Bell is linked to along with Night had never
heard this, but I'm not surprised by it until I
found this story. They also found artificial intelligence generated child pornography. Wow.
(22:14):
So if you're going to be a member of the
Washington Post team, is it a prerequisite that you somehow
are involved in child porn? Or if you're going to
go investigate the sexual peccadils of a politician somewhere, do
you yourself have to have expertise in child porn to
(22:38):
do that? I just and they won pullaters for it.
So if you're going to come at me and argue
about Donald Trump is not entitled to the Nobel Peace Prize, well,
let's think I didn't. I didn't suggest he get a
pulatzer because he hasn't written any stories or anything that
would that would He hasn't written a book but Art
of the Deal, but he hasn't written a book that
(22:59):
I I think deserves a pulletzer. But wow, how ironic
is it that the cabal, particularly the Washington Post has
so many perverts? And isn't the kind of ironic too
that as I'm oh, I turned to look at my TV.
Monit there's nothing on it right now. I was just
(23:21):
curious because CNN is covering Wall to Wall, the owner
of the Washington Post, who happens to be in Venice, Italy,
getting married today along with every other billionaire in the world.
Ninety private jets and sixty private yachts, and they've taken
over Venice, and the locals are all upset and pissed
(23:44):
off because you know, he's destroying it. Well, what he
ought to do is have a smaller wedding and go
back and pay attention to the Washington Post and make
sure that those journalists are actually upstanding, law abiding citizens
as opposed to engaging in child born But you know
who knows. We talked a little bit on the weekday
(24:06):
program about Zurraine. Kwame Mandani. Is that name Maria Bell.
He's the Muslim extremist Democrat nominee in New York City's
mayoral race. A Muslim socialist, a Muslim Marxist that has
a better alliteration to it. So a Muslim Marxist has
(24:27):
become the Democrat nominee in the mayor's race in New
York City. The current incumbent, Eric Adams is running as
an independent. Andrew Cuomo, the former governor, was running as
a Democrat, but he got his butt beat this nominee
has proposed a controversial plan to quote shift the tax
(24:50):
burden from over tax homeowners in the outer boroughs to
more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods. Now, that's
just not me paraphrasing. That's me quoting his plan. We're
gonna shift the tax burden from over taxed homeowners in
the outer boroughs, think o Staten Island, the Bronx Queens
(25:16):
to Manhattan expensive homes in richer and whier neighborhoods. Uh sir, uh,
this is Michael Brown. I'm talking one ring and ding
a ring and d e uh tax assessor's office. Yeah,
mine is Michael Brown. I's like to check on how
much my are my property taxes? Okay, mister brann thing
(25:39):
on one second. Okay, we have your property address up here. Uh,
what's your skin color? What? Well, I can't tell you
exactly what your property taxes are going to be. And
so I know what your skin color is because if
you're black, you get a deduction, and if you're a
Muslim in a Marxist you get a double deduction. But
if you're a white male, you know caucae conservative, Well,
(26:01):
your taxes are going to go up. New York is dead.
His policy memo says that the city's current system favors
homeowners in gentrifying areas, and his aim is to raise
taxes on properties that are more likely to be owned
by affluent white people so he can lower taxes in
(26:21):
lower income neighborhoods where I guess people have to be
I don't know black or brown or Asian or is
it just black or brown? Or is it just black
or is it just brown? Because he himself is a
Ugandan immigrant of Indian heritage and he only became an
American citizen in twenty eighteen. Now this isn't I mean,
(26:44):
this is bad, but it's not the worst of his proposals.
He's advocated. We talked about this during the weekday program,
which is why you should be listening to the podcast
or listening to me live during the weekday. He wants
to do city owned grocery store. What could possibly go
wrong because everything the government does is always cheaper than
(27:06):
you get done in the private sector. Right, city owned
grocery stores? Have you ever been fortunately I have. I've
been in communist countries. I've been in the old Soviet
Union I've seen those communist run grocery stores. Now today
they're not quite as bad as they were, say, twenty
(27:28):
or thirty years ago, but twenty or thirty years ago, yeah,
there wasn't anything there. He's also proposed defunding the cops,
and I love this one. Abolishing prisons. I don't know
what the alternative is. He just wants to abolish prisons. Now.
Obviously Republicans are outraged about this, as they should be,
(27:52):
but there's a part of me, there's a really sick,
perverted part of me that says, you know what, go
ahead and win, because I'm tired of telling people, hey,
look at the United Kingdom, look at Australia, or look
at any other socialist Marxist country around the world, and
(28:12):
that's what we're going to look like. So maybe instead
of telling you to look across the pond, maybe I
just need to tell you to look across the Hudson,
look across the hut. Well, those of you in Maine
look across the East River, but the rest of you
look across the Hudson, and then that's what you're going
to see if we keep electing people like this all
the time. Now, Andy Ogles, who's a congressman from Tennessee.
(28:36):
It's predicting he's particularly pissed off. He's called for Mundami
to be stripped of his American citizenship if it turns
out that he failed to disclose terrorst sympathies during his
naturalization process. Well so, he said a letter to Pam Bondi,
the Attorney General, and accuses mndamie of expressing support for
(28:56):
individuals that are linked to Hamas he wrote zoron little
Mohammed Mandani is an anti Semitic socialist communist who will
destroy the great City of New York. Even the billionaire
Big Bill Ackman has pledged significant financial resources to try
to prevent his election, saying, quote, there are hundreds of
(29:17):
millions of dollars of capital available to back a competitor
to Mandani that can be put together overnight. Wow. I
do I want New York to go down the crapool
of Marxism. No, but sometimes things do have to get
worse before they can get better. They have to get
(29:38):
darker before you can see the light. If this is
the route this country is going to go, and New
York is a media is going to be the canary
in the coal mine. Well, since that is supposedly the
greatest city in the country, one of the greatest, you know,
the financial center of the world, take it down the
toilet of Marxism and let's show the usefulities in this country,
(30:00):
what living in a Marxist country is really like. I'll
be right back so in the last segment of the
Weekend with Michael Brown, and I just want to say
that I really do appreciate everybody that tunes in hope
you'll tell your friends, families, and your enemies about the program.
You'll subscribe to the podcast, You'll go over and follow
(30:22):
me on ex at Michael Brown USA. And remember you
can always send me a text message twenty four hours
a day, seven days a week. Now I probably checked.
I mean during the program. I check text messages all
the time. But even when I'm not on air, I'm
always curious about what people are saying. You know, you're
free to send me story ideas, things you hear about.
(30:42):
You know you can be assured of this. You send
me a story, I'm going to double check to see
that it's true, because oftentimes I'll get stories that are
clearly not true. So don't think that you can, you know,
pull the bowl over my eyes. And that's not man
as a challenge, it's just that, well, I don't trust you,
and I know some of you will try to do that.
(31:04):
So we started the whole program out talking about these
Supreme Court cases and what in particular was the Trump
versus Cassa. That's the case in which the Supreme Court
ruled that these individual federal district court judges cannot issue
nationwide injunctions, that it violates the Constitution, it violates the
(31:27):
Judicial Act of seventeen ninety eight. There is no historical
or constitutional precedent for issuing a nationwide injunction. And then
if they try to circumvent their order by using class action,
then some of the concurring opinions said, and we're going
to hold your feet to the fire, and you need
to follow very strictly the requirements for a class action,
(31:51):
thinking that you could use a class action to somehow
stop the executive orders from taking effect nationally. Well, a
federal district court judge by the name of Charles Bryer
now has an impeachment resolution against him. It was filed
(32:14):
by a congressman in Florida by the name of Randy
Fine to impeach him for temporarily blocking Trump's federalization of
the California National Guard during those rights rights in Los Angeles.
Fine had criticized the judge's decision as political, which it
was in essence, he refused to follow the Supreme Court's order.
(32:38):
You'll recall, those rights in hell A were sparked by
ICE's raids in Hispanic and Latino neighborhoods. We had the
clash between law enforcement. You know, they were burning cars
and throwing bricks and cinder blocks and everything else. Well,
Trump simply enacted or activated Title ten and nationalized the
(32:59):
Federal Guard guard. That's been done by presidents for decades,
and he bypassed California Governor Gavin Newsoman doing so. Newsom
went ballistic, the judge went ballistic. The left went ballistic
over something that, for example, my old boss did in
(33:19):
during Katrina. We nationalized the Federal We federalized the National
Guard many times. Presidents have done. Lyndon Johnson did it
to enforce the Civil Rights Act. So when the court
upheld or I'm sorry, when the court said no, you
cannot do these national injunctions and overruled this judge, Well,
(33:45):
he said, all right, I'm not really going to do anything.
Judge Briar's temporary order earlier this month ruled that Trump's
actions exceeded his statutory authority and violated the Tenth Amendment,
that his actions were illegal both exceeding the scope of
his Trump's authority and violating the Tenth Amendments of the Constitution,
(34:07):
and he ordered the National Guard to be returned to
the control of the state of California. But the Ninth
Circuit overturned his ruling last week, affirming that Trump was
within his authority to federalize the Guard. Finding the Congressman
acknowledged that it's an uphill battle. Now we eve impeached
(34:29):
federal judges before. Alice Hastings is the one always comes
to mind. He was a federal district trial judge in Florida.
He was convicted of taking bribes. They impeached him and
removed him from the bench. You know what he did.
Once he got removed from the bench, he ran for
Congress and got elected. So some places it paid, you know,
(34:51):
crime does pay you get kicked off the bench. I
think he did since spend some prison time, and then
he ran for Congress, but Bryer defended the impeachment Resident
I'm sorry, Fine defended the impeachment resolution, saying I think
it's worth doing. I don't know that we can pass it.
I don't know that the Senate would remove him from office.
(35:14):
But I think failing to avail ourselves of the remedy
that the framers of the Constitution intended was a mistake.
And I think he's right. I think one of my frustrations,
still even five months into the administration, is that we're
not taking this kind of action. For example, Congress issued
(35:38):
a subpoena to the staffer of doctor Joe Biden, the
former First Lady, because he was supposed to testify last
week about what did he know about the auto pen
and what did he know about Biden's diminished capacity blah
blah blah blah. And he was supposed to appear for
a written and recorded deposition. Now there's five ual dispute
(36:01):
over whether he refused to appear or he just wanted
to schedule a different time point is he did not appear,
Congress issued a subpoena for contempt of Congress. I want
him to spend some time in jail because we had
Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon who refused to adhere to
(36:23):
Congressional subpoenas from Democrats, and they spend time in jail.
So as long as they're going to play this game,
if a Democrat member of the Biden administration is going
to ignore a subpoena, and if Congress is going to
issue a contempt citation, then enforce it. Hell the US
attorney who happens to be Gene Periro, enforce this. Put
(36:47):
him on trial. Everybody again, thanks for tuning in, have
a great weekend, and I'll see you next weekend.
Too night. Michael Brown joins me here, the former FEMA
director of talk show host Michael Brown. Brownie, no, Brownie,

the situation with Michael Brown. Hit that subscribe button, leave
(00:44):
a five star review. You'll get all five days of
the weekday program plus the weekend program. Or if you
like to listen live, we broadcast out of Denver, Colorado,
Monday through Friday, six am to ten am on Mountain
time six to ten mountain time, and this is six
thirty khow six thirty khow, So be sure and tune
(01:05):
in during the weekday if you like what we do
on the weekend. Daniel Johnyon Park, who's the alleged accomplice
of the Palm Springs fertility bomber, died by suicide after
jumping from a high balcony inside a prison facility. That's
pretty gutsy and maybe a design flaw. He was accused
of supplying the chemicals to the Palm Springs fertility clinic bomber,
(01:28):
Guy Edward Barcas. He was found in response, even later
pronounced that at the hospital earlier this week. He Barcas
died in the initial explosion back on May seventeen, outside
the American Reproductive Center's fertility clinic Gout in California. The
FBI investigated the incident as an intentional act of terrorism
(01:52):
motivated by extreme pro mortalism, anti natalism, and anti pro
life ideology. Okay, I get that under federal law. Now
don't again. Why do I feel this compulsion to make
sure I put out these caveats. I'm not at all
(02:14):
in any way condoning the bombing of a fertility clinic
or the bombing of anything other than our enemies, say
the you know, the Iranian nuclear facilities. But are we
not carrying acts of terrorism a little overboard? Now? To me,
it's like hate crimes. If if you murder me because
(02:39):
you don't like me, Okay, well it's still murder. If
you murder me because I'm a white guy, and that's
a hate crime, I'm still dead. You still committed murder.
I've never liked the idea of piling on charges based
upon uh hate. Well, I feel the same way about
(02:59):
these terror charges. Now I get that what it does
it allows the prosecutor in this case, US attorney to
pile on charges and that you know, is going to guarantee,
you know, perhaps guarantee either more consecutive life sentences or
perhaps the death penalty. I mean, any number of reasons
(03:19):
to do so. But when you prove, as they would
have to do in a court of law, that this
y'all who was motivated by extreme pro mortalism, anti natalism,
and anti pro life ideology, are we not beginning to
stretch terrorism? And I understand that it's based on the ideology,
(03:44):
and indeed, if he was, if it was proven that
he was motivated by those ideologies, I get that it
means the definition of terrorism, but you scrape all of
that away. He's still blew up a reproductive fertility clinic.
(04:07):
Is that not good enough now? His cohort that just
committed suicide shipped one hundred and eighty pounds of ammonium
nitrate to Bark just back in January, and another ninety
pounds just days before the explosion. The blast destroyed much
of the clinic. It shattered nearby windows, but no embryos
were harmed. He was arrested June third at JFK in
(04:29):
New York. Faces are faced up because he's dead. Now
face up to fifteen years in federal prison for providing
those or providing material support to Barks, the original bomber.
It's very similar to what happened in terms of the
(04:50):
methodology used, similar to the Oklahoma City bombing in nineteen
ninety five. But here's what Pam Bondi said following the arrest.
This defended charged with facilitating a horrific attack on a
fertility center in California. Bringing chaos and violence to a
facility that exists to help women and mothers is a
particularly cruel, disgusting crime that strikes at the very heart
(05:12):
of our shared humanity. I just wanted to say, your
God definitely does not exist, but if he did, I'd
choose Satan over your evil God. Did you ever think
that maybe the Bible's just slander against Satan and that
Satan this is Marcus speaking, and that Satan just realized
what an effing creep your God is. That was his
part of his manifesto. Okay, so the guy's a dirt bag.
(05:36):
He's a dirt bag that committed a horrendous crime, charging
with blowing up a building. Adding on the terrorism charge
leads to I think the potential for abuse in the future.
So even though he met the definition of terrorism, I
(06:01):
consider it to be a lot like a hate crime.
And I just think we're taking some things a little
too far. And other news, Germany is now urging Apple
and Google. They want them to block access to the
Chinese AI artificial intelligence app deep Seek from all their
(06:21):
app stores over user privacy. The Berlin Commissioner for Data
Protection and Freedom of Information, Mikey komp alleges that deep Seek,
that's the Chinese AI app, transfers users personal data to
communist China and that violates the EU's data protection regulations.
(06:42):
Komp claims that Deep Seek did not supply her office
with sufficient evidence that the app conforms to EU privacy laws,
and she warned that Chinese authorities have far reaching access
rights to personal data within the sphere of influence of
Chinese companies. Sherlock, I don't know how much more it's
(07:03):
going to take for us to realize that we are
at war with the Chinese Communist Party and the at
least the EU is recognizing that you have you ever
logged onto a foreign website. You know how domestically we
get you know this little pop up about you know,
(07:23):
accept or reject cookies. Well, if you ever look at
the EU websites, it's much more in depth than that.
They really do try to protect your privacy to some degree. Now,
whether it's overboard or not, I tend to think that
it's not overboard. Because of what the Chinese Communist Party
is doing. They now demand the Germans do at least
(07:45):
that deep seak either conform to their privacy laws or
that they remove the app from the German market entirely,
and deep Seek is refusing to take any action. So
other EU member states like Italy they're starting to make
the same demands to the deep seek, and they've actually
gone so far as to block the app from the
app stores in their countries. Now they're not the only
(08:06):
Chinese app to be accused of violating privacy. We go
back to twenty twenty one. That's when the Netherlands first
sued TikTok for violating children's privacy, and then in twenty
twenty three, the EU regulators find TikTok in additionals three
hundred and sixty eight million dollars or euros for violating
(08:27):
those privacy laws, which brings me to the point. We
have long considered banning TikTok because of their links with
the Chinese Communist Party, actually passing legislation that mandates that
the Chinese parent company called byte Edance, divest TikTok in
(08:48):
order for it to keep doing business in this country.
Trump's delayed the ban while negotiations continued to sell the company.
It's now, as I'm podcasting live today June twenty eighth,
we're more than five months since the inauguration, TikTok still operating.
(09:13):
In fact, I just happened to get a TikTok to
look at on my text message. Are we really going
to be serious about stopping the Chinese Communist Party from
using our data? Are we just going to keep putting
it off? Kudos to the EU for at least threatening
to shut it down, which I think they will do
unless they comply. Here. The one beef I have with
(09:37):
Trump is the continued delay of TikTok. Either force them
to sell or ban it, because TikTok does turn over
all that data to the Chinese Communist Party, and indeed
we are at war with them. It's about time we
recognize it. I'll be right back. Hey, So weekend with
(10:03):
Michael Brown. Thanks for tuning in. I appreciate you listening
on the weekends. Text any message you have or question
you have to three three one zero three keyword micro Michael.
Do me a favor, Go follow me on X formally
Twitter at Michael Brown USA. I think Donald Trump should
receive the Peace Prize. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded
(10:23):
annually by the Norwegian Nobel Committee. That's all based on
the last will and testament of Alfred Nobel and it
specifies that the Peace Prize in particular, because you know
you got the Nobel Prize in mathematics, physics, and economics
and all that stuff. But the Peace Prize should go
(10:45):
to the person who shall have done the most or
the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition
or reduction of standing armies, and for the holding promotion
of peace congresses. Now that's the original language in the will. Now,
over time, the interpretation of that criteria has evolved and
(11:05):
the Committee considers a broader range of contributions to peace. Obviously,
so because what was that old guy's name, Barack. He
was the first black president or the first Asian president,
and he was going to fundamentally transform the United States,
Remember that guy, and he held the soaring rhetoric. Everybody
(11:29):
thought he was a wonderful speaker. Obama, Yeah, Barack Obama,
that was the guy's name. Remember he got the Nobel
Peace Prize before he was even inaugurated. Now Trump was
inaugurated back January twentieth, so you know, more than five
months ago. Now, so I think that Trump ought to
get it, and I'll explain why in a second. But
(11:50):
here are the standards. There are five standards to consider
the first one is promotion of peace and fraternity between nations,
This includes things like resolving conflicts check brokrem peace agreements check.
Fostering international cooperation check you know those. It'd be like
(12:15):
mediating a treaty or reducing tensions between nations. Check we
get all of that right. Disarmament or reduction to military forces.
That's the second one. Contributions to reducing arms, nuclear proliferation,
or military conflicts are valued. Maybe advocating for disarmament treaties. Okay,
I think we can check that. Because of the Congo,
we'll get that. A second number three, promotion of peace congresses. Yeah,
(12:39):
maybe not, but you know, if Obama can get Asoka Trump,
this would involve organizing or supporting platforms for dialogue, diplomacy,
or peace negotiations, including you know, holding in international summar conferences. Well,
maybe check that because he had he had NATO this
past week. For humanitarian and social justice efforts. Now, in
(13:01):
modern times, the Nobel Peace Prize is also recognized work
in human rights, environmental protection, humanitarian aid because they see
those as some sort of lasting foundation to peace. So
if you're engaged in, say combating poverty, oppression, or climate change,
it would be honored. He may not meet that crimetery
but who cares. And then the last one is impact
(13:25):
and sustainability. So they looked for tangible, lasting results or
it's some sort of significant step toward peace through either
somebody or or some inspirational effort. That can you know
that they can actually recognize. Oh, look look at what
he did. Now, members of national assemblies, governments, international organizations, professors,
(13:50):
past brisk recipients. It's pretty broad. Who can make the nomination.
And I actually think some people have nominated to Trump.
I'll see if I can find that in a second.
So you got five committees on the Nobel Committee. They're
appointed by their Norwegian parliament. They evaluate the nominees, they
(14:11):
select the winner through a confidential process that nobody knows about.
And I would remind you that there are no strict
pre rerequisites, no requirements. So I would consider that maybe
Trump ought to get it. Why, well, let's work our
(14:33):
way backwards. A US broker peace agreement between Rwanda and
the Democratic Republic of Congo was signed just yesterday Friday,
with the aim of ending a conflict that has resulted
in thousands of deaths and the displacements of hundreds of
thousands of people this year, let alone the years before
(14:57):
that it's gone on and the Trump administration, including Secretary
Saint Marco Rubio, facilitated that agreement. They signed an agreement
overseen by the Secretary of State. There's a ninety day
timeline for the Rwandan troops to withdraw from the Eastern Congo.
It requires both parties to launch a regional economic framework
(15:18):
within the same period. I find this fascinating because you
know what Trump's doing. Trump is using trade, commerce, the
economy to spread peace in the Middle East. He's talked
about how he wants to move it from conflict to cooperation,
(15:41):
to make it a trade zone for people to start,
you know, exchanging goods and services. Trump said they were
going at it for many years with machetes. It's one
of the worst, one of the worst wars that anybody's
ever seen. And I just happened to have somebody that
was able to get it settled. And then he says,
we're getting for the United States. A lot of the
(16:03):
mineral rights from the Congo is part of it. They're
so honored to be here. They never thought they'd be coming.
And indeed, the Congo is a key source of critical minerals, cobalt,
In fact, cobalt accounts for sixty percent of the supplies
worldwide just from the Congo. Yeah, I think that just
(16:24):
that alone. It's now my honor to invite the parties
to sign the peace agreement to be witnessed by Secretary
of Ruvial. And they're all signing. I'll just stop there.
They're signing it. The point is he seems to be
(16:46):
meeting the prerequisites to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. I said,
let's work backwards. Have we forgotten about the Abraham Accords
from twenty twenty. That's the normalization agree much between Israel
and the United Arab Emirates, by Rain, Sudan and Morocco.
(17:06):
And I think that when he was in Cutter and
the UAE and Saudi Arabia a few weeks ago, I
think he talked to them one about how he was
going to probably bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran. I think
he told him that just be quiet, don't say anything,
let me do my job and then we'll go from there.
(17:30):
Those agreements marked a huge step between diplomatic relations and
economic cooperation in the Middle East, and then the fraternity
between nations. Excuse me, he's getting he's getting NATO to
do what he's asked Natal to do for We've asked
Natal to do for decades. Up the ANTE. Think about
(17:54):
that and no new wars. Yeah, Trump deserves the Nobel
Peace for guys. Tonight, Michael Brown joins me here, the
former FEMA director of talk show host Michael Brown. Brownie, No, Brownie,
You're doing a heck of a job The Weekend with
(18:14):
Michael Brown. Hey, welcome back to the Weekend with Michael Brown.
Glad to have you with me. Be sure and subscribe
to the podcast on your podcast app, search for the
Situation with Michael Brown, The Situation with Michael Brown, Hit
that subscribe button and then leave a five star review,
and then set it to automatically download all five days
of the weekday morning program plus the weekend program that
(18:36):
you get all the Michael Brown you need. So speaking
of these prizes clinges the opposite direction. A Pulcher Prize
winning video journalist who is employed by The Washington Post
has been arrested in charge by the Department of Justice
with possession of child porn. Thomas faum Legroe appeared yesterday
(18:58):
in Eusta Street Court after the charges were announced by
US Attorney Janine Piro. Judge Piro, she's back as the
acting US attorney for the DC Circuit. Congratulations, Judge. The
Washington Post journalist who serves as the Jeff Bezos owned
newspaper's deputy director of video, was taken into custody by
(19:21):
the FBI just Thursday following a raid on his residence.
Now inside his home, Lagrow's home, the FBI found a
work laptop, not a personal laptop, a Washington Post laptop which,
upon examination was discovered it came to contain a folder
that had eleven videos depicting child sexual abuse material. And
(19:46):
then the agents noted in their report that they observed
what appeared to be fractured pieces of a hard drive
in the hallway outside the room where Lagro's work laptop
was found. Now here's why I find this story interesting.
The grow the guy I just told you about, was
(20:08):
part of a team of journalists at the Washington Post
that won a prize a Pulacher Prize in twenty eighteen
for their coverage of the Senate race in Alabama. That's
the one where former State Supreme Court justice and Republican
candidate Roy Moore was accused of sexually assaulting several women
(20:29):
when they were under age. More denied those sexual assault allegations,
though he did acknowledge that he may have dated teenagers
when he was in his late twenties and early thirties.
So the guy that was part of the team that
went after Roy Moore in Alabama for dating teenagers when
(20:49):
he was in his twenties has now been charged with
child porn. I'm not laughing about the child porn, trust me,
I'm not laughing about that. But wait to hear this.
This is not the first Washington Post journalists to face
(21:11):
allegations of concerning behavior regarding minors. Former Washington Post reporter
Taylor Lorenz is also accused. Emphasized the word accused of
inappropriately interacting with teenagers on social media, often she would
feature them in her stories. In January of this Year's
(21:34):
of this year, twenty twenty five, the newspaper's anti Trump
cartoonist Darren Bell was also arrested on child porn allegations.
The FBI in that case discovered one hundred and thirty
four videos of child sex abuse material on an account
(21:54):
that Bell is linked to along with Night had never
heard this, but I'm not surprised by it until I
found this story. They also found artificial intelligence generated child pornography. Wow.
(22:14):
So if you're going to be a member of the
Washington Post team, is it a prerequisite that you somehow
are involved in child porn? Or if you're going to
go investigate the sexual peccadils of a politician somewhere, do
you yourself have to have expertise in child porn to
(22:38):
do that? I just and they won pullaters for it.
So if you're going to come at me and argue
about Donald Trump is not entitled to the Nobel Peace Prize, well,
let's think I didn't. I didn't suggest he get a
pulatzer because he hasn't written any stories or anything that
would that would He hasn't written a book but Art
of the Deal, but he hasn't written a book that
(22:59):
I I think deserves a pulletzer. But wow, how ironic
is it that the cabal, particularly the Washington Post has
so many perverts? And isn't the kind of ironic too
that as I'm oh, I turned to look at my TV.
Monit there's nothing on it right now. I was just
(23:21):
curious because CNN is covering Wall to Wall, the owner
of the Washington Post, who happens to be in Venice, Italy,
getting married today along with every other billionaire in the world.
Ninety private jets and sixty private yachts, and they've taken
over Venice, and the locals are all upset and pissed
(23:44):
off because you know, he's destroying it. Well, what he
ought to do is have a smaller wedding and go
back and pay attention to the Washington Post and make
sure that those journalists are actually upstanding, law abiding citizens
as opposed to engaging in child born But you know
who knows. We talked a little bit on the weekday
(24:06):
program about Zurraine. Kwame Mandani. Is that name Maria Bell.
He's the Muslim extremist Democrat nominee in New York City's
mayoral race. A Muslim socialist, a Muslim Marxist that has
a better alliteration to it. So a Muslim Marxist has
(24:27):
become the Democrat nominee in the mayor's race in New
York City. The current incumbent, Eric Adams is running as
an independent. Andrew Cuomo, the former governor, was running as
a Democrat, but he got his butt beat this nominee
has proposed a controversial plan to quote shift the tax
(24:50):
burden from over tax homeowners in the outer boroughs to
more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods. Now, that's
just not me paraphrasing. That's me quoting his plan. We're
gonna shift the tax burden from over taxed homeowners in
the outer boroughs, think o Staten Island, the Bronx Queens
(25:16):
to Manhattan expensive homes in richer and whier neighborhoods. Uh sir, uh,
this is Michael Brown. I'm talking one ring and ding
a ring and d e uh tax assessor's office. Yeah,
mine is Michael Brown. I's like to check on how
much my are my property taxes? Okay, mister brann thing
(25:39):
on one second. Okay, we have your property address up here. Uh,
what's your skin color? What? Well, I can't tell you
exactly what your property taxes are going to be. And
so I know what your skin color is because if
you're black, you get a deduction, and if you're a
Muslim in a Marxist you get a double deduction. But
if you're a white male, you know caucae conservative, Well,
(26:01):
your taxes are going to go up. New York is dead.
His policy memo says that the city's current system favors
homeowners in gentrifying areas, and his aim is to raise
taxes on properties that are more likely to be owned
by affluent white people so he can lower taxes in
(26:21):
lower income neighborhoods where I guess people have to be
I don't know black or brown or Asian or is
it just black or brown? Or is it just black
or is it just brown? Because he himself is a
Ugandan immigrant of Indian heritage and he only became an
American citizen in twenty eighteen. Now this isn't I mean,
(26:44):
this is bad, but it's not the worst of his proposals.
He's advocated. We talked about this during the weekday program,
which is why you should be listening to the podcast
or listening to me live during the weekday. He wants
to do city owned grocery store. What could possibly go
wrong because everything the government does is always cheaper than
(27:06):
you get done in the private sector. Right, city owned
grocery stores? Have you ever been fortunately I have. I've
been in communist countries. I've been in the old Soviet
Union I've seen those communist run grocery stores. Now today
they're not quite as bad as they were, say, twenty
(27:28):
or thirty years ago, but twenty or thirty years ago, yeah,
there wasn't anything there. He's also proposed defunding the cops,
and I love this one. Abolishing prisons. I don't know
what the alternative is. He just wants to abolish prisons. Now.
Obviously Republicans are outraged about this, as they should be,
(27:52):
but there's a part of me, there's a really sick,
perverted part of me that says, you know what, go
ahead and win, because I'm tired of telling people, hey,
look at the United Kingdom, look at Australia, or look
at any other socialist Marxist country around the world, and
(28:12):
that's what we're going to look like. So maybe instead
of telling you to look across the pond, maybe I
just need to tell you to look across the Hudson,
look across the hut. Well, those of you in Maine
look across the East River, but the rest of you
look across the Hudson, and then that's what you're going
to see if we keep electing people like this all
the time. Now, Andy Ogles, who's a congressman from Tennessee.
(28:36):
It's predicting he's particularly pissed off. He's called for Mundami
to be stripped of his American citizenship if it turns
out that he failed to disclose terrorst sympathies during his
naturalization process. Well so, he said a letter to Pam Bondi,
the Attorney General, and accuses mndamie of expressing support for
(28:56):
individuals that are linked to Hamas he wrote zoron little
Mohammed Mandani is an anti Semitic socialist communist who will
destroy the great City of New York. Even the billionaire
Big Bill Ackman has pledged significant financial resources to try
to prevent his election, saying, quote, there are hundreds of
(29:17):
millions of dollars of capital available to back a competitor
to Mandani that can be put together overnight. Wow. I
do I want New York to go down the crapool
of Marxism. No, but sometimes things do have to get
worse before they can get better. They have to get
(29:38):
darker before you can see the light. If this is
the route this country is going to go, and New
York is a media is going to be the canary
in the coal mine. Well, since that is supposedly the
greatest city in the country, one of the greatest, you know,
the financial center of the world, take it down the
toilet of Marxism and let's show the usefulities in this country,
(30:00):
what living in a Marxist country is really like. I'll
be right back so in the last segment of the
Weekend with Michael Brown, and I just want to say
that I really do appreciate everybody that tunes in hope
you'll tell your friends, families, and your enemies about the program.
You'll subscribe to the podcast, You'll go over and follow
(30:22):
me on ex at Michael Brown USA. And remember you
can always send me a text message twenty four hours
a day, seven days a week. Now I probably checked.
I mean during the program. I check text messages all
the time. But even when I'm not on air, I'm
always curious about what people are saying. You know, you're
free to send me story ideas, things you hear about.
(30:42):
You know you can be assured of this. You send
me a story, I'm going to double check to see
that it's true, because oftentimes I'll get stories that are
clearly not true. So don't think that you can, you know,
pull the bowl over my eyes. And that's not man
as a challenge, it's just that, well, I don't trust you,
and I know some of you will try to do that.
(31:04):
So we started the whole program out talking about these
Supreme Court cases and what in particular was the Trump
versus Cassa. That's the case in which the Supreme Court
ruled that these individual federal district court judges cannot issue
nationwide injunctions, that it violates the Constitution, it violates the
(31:27):
Judicial Act of seventeen ninety eight. There is no historical
or constitutional precedent for issuing a nationwide injunction. And then
if they try to circumvent their order by using class action,
then some of the concurring opinions said, and we're going
to hold your feet to the fire, and you need
to follow very strictly the requirements for a class action,
(31:51):
thinking that you could use a class action to somehow
stop the executive orders from taking effect nationally. Well, a
federal district court judge by the name of Charles Bryer
now has an impeachment resolution against him. It was filed
(32:14):
by a congressman in Florida by the name of Randy
Fine to impeach him for temporarily blocking Trump's federalization of
the California National Guard during those rights rights in Los Angeles.
Fine had criticized the judge's decision as political, which it
was in essence, he refused to follow the Supreme Court's order.
(32:38):
You'll recall, those rights in hell A were sparked by
ICE's raids in Hispanic and Latino neighborhoods. We had the
clash between law enforcement. You know, they were burning cars
and throwing bricks and cinder blocks and everything else. Well,
Trump simply enacted or activated Title ten and nationalized the
(32:59):
Federal Guard guard. That's been done by presidents for decades,
and he bypassed California Governor Gavin Newsoman doing so. Newsom
went ballistic, the judge went ballistic. The left went ballistic
over something that, for example, my old boss did in
(33:19):
during Katrina. We nationalized the Federal We federalized the National
Guard many times. Presidents have done. Lyndon Johnson did it
to enforce the Civil Rights Act. So when the court
upheld or I'm sorry, when the court said no, you
cannot do these national injunctions and overruled this judge, Well,
(33:45):
he said, all right, I'm not really going to do anything.
Judge Briar's temporary order earlier this month ruled that Trump's
actions exceeded his statutory authority and violated the Tenth Amendment,
that his actions were illegal both exceeding the scope of
his Trump's authority and violating the Tenth Amendments of the Constitution,
(34:07):
and he ordered the National Guard to be returned to
the control of the state of California. But the Ninth
Circuit overturned his ruling last week, affirming that Trump was
within his authority to federalize the Guard. Finding the Congressman
acknowledged that it's an uphill battle. Now we eve impeached
(34:29):
federal judges before. Alice Hastings is the one always comes
to mind. He was a federal district trial judge in Florida.
He was convicted of taking bribes. They impeached him and
removed him from the bench. You know what he did.
Once he got removed from the bench, he ran for
Congress and got elected. So some places it paid, you know,
(34:51):
crime does pay you get kicked off the bench. I
think he did since spend some prison time, and then
he ran for Congress, but Bryer defended the impeachment Resident
I'm sorry, Fine defended the impeachment resolution, saying I think
it's worth doing. I don't know that we can pass it.
I don't know that the Senate would remove him from office.
(35:14):
But I think failing to avail ourselves of the remedy
that the framers of the Constitution intended was a mistake.
And I think he's right. I think one of my frustrations,
still even five months into the administration, is that we're
not taking this kind of action. For example, Congress issued
(35:38):
a subpoena to the staffer of doctor Joe Biden, the
former First Lady, because he was supposed to testify last
week about what did he know about the auto pen
and what did he know about Biden's diminished capacity blah
blah blah blah. And he was supposed to appear for
a written and recorded deposition. Now there's five ual dispute
(36:01):
over whether he refused to appear or he just wanted
to schedule a different time point is he did not appear,
Congress issued a subpoena for contempt of Congress. I want
him to spend some time in jail because we had
Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon who refused to adhere to
(36:23):
Congressional subpoenas from Democrats, and they spend time in jail.
So as long as they're going to play this game,
if a Democrat member of the Biden administration is going
to ignore a subpoena, and if Congress is going to
issue a contempt citation, then enforce it. Hell the US
attorney who happens to be Gene Periro, enforce this. Put
(36:47):
him on trial. Everybody again, thanks for tuning in, have
a great weekend, and I'll see you next weekend.
