Speaker 2 (00:07):
The Weekend with Michael Brown.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Hey, Happy Saturday, everybody. Welcome to the Weekend with Michael Brown.
Happy Uh. Week of Thanksgiving, Saturday before Thanksgiving. It's the uh.
I guess I could say. I think we can say
we've officially entered the holiday season, at least I will.
I Where was oh? I had to go to the
mall because my kids had gotten me appair of the
(00:29):
smart glasses. So I went to one of the malls
here in Denver, and I opened the door to the mall.
You know how you open the you know, you go
through the main doors. I open the main door and
walk in, and I immediately get blasted with Christmas music
being crosbye or somebody singing I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
and it's just it was kind of like a slap
in the face. I thought, holy cow, it's not even Thanksgiving.
(00:52):
I know I live, I know I live a sheltered life,
and I know that everybody's had her You've probably had
your Christmas decorations huh. I fully expect to get home
this afternoon and my wife has a tree out and
everything's already Christmas time. But it's crazy. It's crazy. Anyway, Welcome,
Welcome to the weekend. Glad to have you with me.
(01:12):
You know the rules of engagement, they're pretty easy if
you want to send me a message. By the way,
I don't know what's going on with the text messaging,
but the text messages from all of you, y'all who's
goobers this week have been simply amazing. I mean totally amazing,
and I mean I mean amazing in a good way too,
really some really good points. And then the other thing
has been going on. And maybe it's because we've we've
(01:34):
entered the season where it's it's time to get serious
about governing. I mean, we won, right, and so now
we the campaign's over, but now the real work begins,
and so now we have to really think about how
are we going to do some of these things? And
are we going to be able to accomplish some of
these things and some of the things that we're wanting
(01:54):
to get done. Kind of when you step back and
think about it, are things that as conservatives a few
years ago, a few years ago, maybe ten years ago,
we would have never even considered this a priority. I'll
give you a hand because I do want to kind
of delve into it later in the program. And this,
this whole thing about make America healthy again, well that
(02:16):
means we've got to go against big food, big food,
big farmer, the agricultural industry. I grew up in agg country,
I grew up in ranching country. I love cowboys and
ranchers and farmers and and I know where my food
comes from and all of that. But you know, and
don't get me wrong, they're not the problem. It's the
middleman's the problem, food processors and all of that. So anyway,
(02:41):
the text messages have been like almost from one extreme
to the other. I'm all for this, but now I'm
all against this. Well wait a minute, you voted for
this and now you're against it. It's kind of a
fascinating thing that's going on. But anyway, if you sm
me a text message, you know the number three three
one zero three on your message app, it's three three
one zero three, start the message with the word Mike
(03:02):
or Michael, tell me anything or ask me anything. So
let's you know this because it is Thanksgiving. Kind of
one of the themes I want to start off with is
this idea about why do we celebrate Thanksgiving? You know what, Michael,
my producer in LA heard me playing a sound bite
(03:25):
from Rush Limbaugh from November fourth or twentieth, or maybe
it is November twenty fourth something, sometime in November of
twenty twenty when Rush was talking about the true meaning
of Thanksgiving and the real story of Thanksgiving. And I
may get to that later in the program, or at
least quote from it, but it's that time of year
(03:48):
where we need to think about that real story, and
the real story of Thanksgiving can be summed upast at
least from the point of view of Rush Limbaugh. Rush,
when he told the story, before you get into the
details of it, he would give you all the background
(04:11):
about what it is that we learned. You know, we
learned about Plymouth Rock and the Pilgrims coming here and
how the Indians save the Pilgrims, and you know, and
that's the end of the story. Well, no, that's not
the real story. Let me just read you one point
to as a lead in about this first story. But
(04:33):
it goes back to Limbaugh and this is from November
of twenty twenty. The transcript from the show that day
says this, The point is the true story of Thanksgiving
as he's been, as he was telling it over the years,
is spreading. And I couldn't be happier about that. Bottom line,
(04:54):
It is spreading. I'm just going to cut to the
chase here before getting into reading the text way of Thanksgiving,
going back to the very first early days of the
Pilgrims arriving at Plymouth Rock, is that socialism failed. And
He's right, socialism has failed. Now now he told that
story for you know, a decade or more, and now
(05:16):
it's been you know, four years since we last heard
him say that or tell that story, and where are
we well. The soft tyranny, the soft tyranny of the
of the nanty state, really does prevail. And I think
one of the things that we're going to see ourselves
(05:37):
fighting as we try to govern from a right of
center position, is that the tyranny of the state, the
tyranny of government, the tyranny of the administrative state, the
tyranny of the left, the tyranny of progressivism, the tiery
of the Marxist, the tyranny of the communists. All of
(05:58):
this tyranny is going to push back really hard against
us because they can't give an inch. They already realize
that when when you look at Trump's vote totals in
the popular vote, when you look at the landslide landslide
in the electoral college, and you look at the absolute
failure and I do mean failure of the Democrat Party,
(06:23):
in particular Kamala Harris, her inability to translate into a
to a message of their ideology into something that is
acceptable not just to you know, old farts like me,
but when you get down into people are voting for
the first time eighteen let's say, eighteen to thirty four
(06:45):
year olds, when that group overwhelmingly turned to the right
and voted conservatively, that means your message is failing. And
we continue to hear that. You know, during this week's
program on the morning program, I played two or three
sound bites from the view and as you listen to them,
(07:08):
they continue to completely miss the point about this election.
And there I could go down a dozen rabbit holes
about why they continue to do so. The overall, the
over arching reason why they fail to get the message
is because they truly do live in a bubble. When
when your world consists of the media empire that's located
(07:32):
in New York City or on the on the on
the West coast in Los Angeles, when that's your bubble
and you live within that bubble, you don't really get
what's going on. I mean, flyover country is no longer say,
you know, west of the Mississippi to the Rocky Mountain,
that's no longer flyover country. Flyover country literally is from
(07:52):
the Hudson River to Los Angeles County that's now flyover country.
That includes Arizona, that includes the Blue Wall states of
Michigan and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, all all of those Midwestern
states that all of those that went red. We're now
flyover country everywhere. And the left just doesn't get it.
(08:14):
Let me tell you a story about why I think
this soft tyranny of the nanny state prevails. And it's
going to take yes, big ideas, but it's also going
to take really small, tiny ideas in very localized areas
to fight the nanny state. You know, when I was
(08:35):
a kid, When I was a kid, I used to
have to walk to school uphill both ways in a snowstorm.
You know you've heard that kind of story before. It
was so much different when I was a kid. Well
it was different. But the nanny state overall has deprived
children of simply being children. What do I mean? Will

So where the soft tyranny of the nanty state prevails.
If you have a ten year old who walks by
himself to the store, apparently they can get your thrown
in prison. In jail, here's the story Britney Patterson, forty
one years old, was arrested on suspicion of reckless conduct
(10:02):
back on October thirty over her son's unsupervised walk. According
to the Fannin County Sheriff's Office, Patterson had taken another
son to a doctor's appointment, which she left her son, Soren,
who's now eleven years old, alone at their home in
the rural town of Mineral Bluff. According to NBC News,
(10:22):
after someone reported Soren's wondering, deputies located him and drove
him home. Swarren was apprehended for walking into town unsupervised
less than a mile from his home. Mom was released
on a five hundred dollars bail could face up to
(10:42):
a year in jail under the charge what's going on
here now? Every parent has a right and an obligation
to make the decision for their child based on all
the totality of circumstances of where they're going to let
(11:05):
their kids go, How far down the street, how far
away from home can they you know, how far are
they going to go to the school bus stop, or
what you know? In my neighborhood directly across the street
from from our house in suburban Denver. Are two families
(11:25):
I know. I know both families. They both have two children,
they're both in they're they're all all four of these kids,
three girls and a boy, are all still in grade school.
And the parents I've observed, I've watched. There's there's a
park across the street, across an arterial street from us.
(11:46):
There's a controlled crossrock, and they'll sometimes let the kids
go over to that park, and and there are all
sorts of adults walking around that park all the time,
mostly dog walking or exercising. And I consider our neighborhood
to be a very safe neighborhood. I understand. Look, I
understand the dangers that exist, but have you ever thought
(12:10):
about how realistic those dangers are? Now? I know that
the likelihood of something happening to one of those four
kids is very remote, almost minuscule, and infinitesimly small. But
I also know the consequences of something did happen, that
the consequences are extraordinarily high. So you have a divergent path.
(12:34):
If you're looking at a chart, the likelihood is way
down here at the bottom, but the consequences of that
unlikely thing happening the consequences of it are are huge.
But why why have we reached the point whether you
live in a rural area or an urban area, that
now the nanny state is the one that decides whether
(12:56):
or not you have endangered your child. I think it's
because there's an objective, and that objective is to infantalize
the to make us all infants, infantilize the American population.
And when and when they accomplish that, when we all
turn into beta males, when we all turn into Wissa's
(13:18):
when we all you know, I've talked for years about
the whissification of this country. We're scared of our own shadows.
That's not to say that there's not danger out there,
but nobody does any sort of risk analysis. Nobody steps
back and says, you know, what is it okay for
these four kids to ride their bikes up and down
(13:39):
the street? Now, our street goes down the hill, makes
a curve around, and you can't always see around the curve.
But I would say that most everybody on that street
recognizes the cars that in the Street's a fairly long street.
I'm guessing it's maybe a mile long. I don't know
everybody else in that street. But I recognize most of
(14:03):
the cars, and I also recognize when someone you know
and I look. I observe when someone is parked out
in front of the house and they're sitting in the car.
I make note of the car. Sometimes I'll make note
of the license plate with or remember it or not
might be another thing, and make a mental note of
(14:24):
male or female sitting behind the steering wheel, kind of
what do they look like and what are they doing?
And I make sure they that they know that I
know that I'm looking at them just out of an
abundance of caution because I know they're kids in the neighborhood.
And sometimes what are they doing? Maybe they stop, they're
looking for directions, They're looking for the for a particular address.
I'm I'm trying to find a friend's house that's on
(14:45):
the street somewhere. But I do believe that in this
situation where you let you're eleven year old walk into
town in a rural area unsupervised, you get arrested for that,
it is to infantalize the American population so that when
(15:06):
they finally accomplished that room, we're so scared of each other.
When we're so scared of everything, we'll put up no
more resistance to the progressive agenda, no more resistant resistance
than a than a baby in diapers. And when anything
bad happens, we're all pooper pants, all poop and pierre
pants like babies, like infants.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Police body camera video shows the moment Brittany Patterson was
arrested for letting her ten year old son walk into
town by himself. What am I under arrest for for
reckless ennajument?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
And how was I?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
On October thirtieth, Patterson said she took one of her
children to the doctor. In the meantime, her son, Soren,
who since turned eleven, decided to walk less than a
mile into town from their home in rural Mineral Bluff, Georgia.
While out, Patterson got a call from the Sheriff's department
worried that Soren was walking alone.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I wasn't concerned. I wasn't, you know, panicking or concerned,
because it's just a short walk from our house. He
knows how to get home, he knows how to get there.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Authorities dropped sore and off at home, and five hours
later they returned, call mommy and.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Tell him they're taking me to jail.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Because you decided to walk down the street.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
That's not his fault.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Yeah, you're the mother, your responsibility.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Anytime I checked, it wasn't illegal for a hip to
walk to the store.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
It is when they're ten years old. Patterson was booked
on suspicion of reckless conduct, a charge that could carry
one year in jail. The warrant claiming she willingly and
knowingly did endanger the bodily safety of her juvenile's son.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Our criminal justice systems built on the fact that you
did something or you were negligent. You did something criminally negligent,
So what is it she did.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Authorities have offered to drop the charge if Patterson signs
a safety plan that includes the use of a GPS
tracker on her son's phone.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
So there's already a GP you know, unless he's just
got a dumb phone, unless he's just got a flip phone,
he already has a GPS tracker on it. And if
it's an iPhone, it's gotta find my on it. So
if she share, if she sets the son's phone up
to share his location, she can see where he is
all the time. But I want you to stop and
think about the stupidity of that. Have you thought about
(17:22):
how stupid that is? Oh, listen, we'll drop the charges
if you'll put a tracker on your son's phone. Oh
so you mean it's okay for him to walk into
town like he was doing, as long as you can
see where he is. Oh okay. So the problem is
we didn't have a chip in his head? Is that
what the deal is? My gosh, the tyranny of government
(17:47):
trying to tell you how to raise your children. It's
simply out of control. So we came with Michael Brown.
Don't forget Go follow me on X It's at Michael
Brown USA. Send me a text message the numbers three three,
one zero three. I'll be right back tonight. Michael Brown
joins me here, the former FEMA director.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Brownie, no, Brownie, You're doing a heck of a job.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
The Weekend with Michael Brown.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Hey, welcome back to the beginning with Michael Brown. Glad
to have you with me. I appreciate you tuning in.

hundred plus affiliates around the country, go to this website,
Michael says, go here dot com, pull down how to
listen tab, and there you'll find an interactive map of

media icons. So if you want to follow me on X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube,
those are all right there on that website at Michael
says go here dot com. Michael says go here dot com.
So a couple of the ask me whether there's a
GoFundMe for this woman for for legal fees. I don't know.
(19:02):
I didn't look, so I don't know. But I want
to go back to the story. I want to hear
the story one more time from This is from an
ABC affiliate out of Georgia, because I want to I
want to go back to this idea that government when
we when we think about government, we often forget that
(19:24):
you know, your your local cop that you may know
might be your neighbor, is government. Teachers are government, your
county commissioner or your city council. You see, there there's
as much power and control exercised over our daily lives
at the local level then there is or maybe even
(19:46):
more so than there is the federal level. It's it's
just government now. Again, as I often repeat, maybe too often,
because you surely understand this, I'm not an anarchist. I'm
not saying that we ought to just blow up and
live in a pure anarchy state or a pure democratic state. No,
(20:10):
I'm not saying that at all. But what we've done
is we have failed. We have lost our ability to
make rational decisions on our own, and because everybody has
been made afraid of everything that we now somehow, at
(20:33):
least I don't, and I don't think many of you
do either, But I think the vast majority of Americans
now expect the government to protect us from any bad
that could ever happen to us. I woke up yesterday
morning or yesterday during the day, I start, after I
finished my program, I start realizing that, oh, it's Thanksgiving,
(20:57):
So what's the news going to be. The news is
all about the weather and traveling and how oh you
got to do all these things to be prepared because
you know your your flight might get canceled. Well, okay,
so maybe there's one person out there that's never flown
in their entire life, and they wouldn't have a clue
what to do if their playing, if their flight got canceled.
(21:19):
All right, I get that, But do we really have
to talk about the bomb cyclone, about about the atmospheric river.
I mean, you would think that we need to stay
in our homes because oh my gosh, there's a low
pressure system out there that's gonna move, you know, from
the from the Pacific northwest, and it's going to come
across the country. Or there might be a cold front,
(21:41):
you know, there might be a Canadian cold front coming down,
because after all, it is freaking November. But no, we
have to use things like bomb cyclone, you know, an
atmospheric river, as if there's a flash flood of water
coming out of the sky that's gonna come down and
just destroy humanity. We're taught to learn, we're subliminately taught
(22:02):
to live in fear of virtually everything. Stop it, live
your life, let your kids be kids. Take a little
bit of risk in your life. Now you've got to
decide for yourself how much risk is acceptable. But let
(22:24):
me just point out that the minute you woke up
this morning and got out of bed, you started taking risks.
There was I don't know where I saw it, but
there was. It was some meme on TikTok or Facebook
or somewhere, and it made me think that this is
(22:47):
the point we've gotten to. And it was basically, you're
getting out of bed the wrong way. And I thought, really,
because from my entire life, I've thrown the covers over,
you know, off, and I've swung my legs around, and
I've stood up and gotten out of bed. Well, apparently
that's the wrong way to do it. And someone was
(23:08):
showing how to you know, you you pull the covers off,
and you pull your knee, kind of pull your knees
up to your chest, and you turn over to yours
on your side, and then you kind of drop your
legs over and then once you once your legs kind
of get over, then you take, you know, depending outside
the bed you're on, you take your right or left
hand and you kind of push yourself up into an
(23:30):
upright position and then you slowly stand up. And I thought,
my god, really, they're they're teaching us how to get
out of bed, and if we don't do it, we're
gonna end up, you know, over over, over time, we're
gonna hurt our backs. Well, I got news for you.
The older you get, the week of your back's going
to get unless you really fight it all the way
(23:51):
and can continue to exercise and work hard. It's just
a risk. My point is, it's just a risk. But
there was actually there there was there was a video
showing you how to get a bed. Let me ask
you this, what are you afraid of? What are you
afraid of? You get in your car every day and
you go, you go driving, zipping down the highway, You
(24:13):
get on the freeway and rush hour traffic. Although you know,
at at least the rush hour traffic, you know if
there's a fender bender, you're unlikely to get killed. But
if you live in the wide open spaces of Colorado
and you get on the interstate and you're doing like
I tend to do, you know, eighty five miles an hour,
I know the risks of doing that, and so I'm
willing to accept that risk. What are you willing to accept? Seriously,
(24:41):
stop and think about what risks you're willing to accept.
And now I want you to think about something else.
Of all the risks that you take every single day,
how much do you think the government ought to intervene
to for checked you from those risks. Listen to the
(25:04):
story again.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Police body camera video shows the moment Brittany Patterson was
arrested for letting her ten year old son walk into
town by himself.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
What am I under arrest for?
Speaker 2 (25:15):
For a reckless and nature of it?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
And how was I?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
On October thirtieth, Patterson said she took one of her
children to the doctor. In the meantime, her son, Soren,
who since turned eleven, decided to walk less than a
mile into town from their home and Rule Mineral Bluff, Georgia.
While out, Patterson got a call from the Sheriff's department
worried that Soren was walking alone.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
I wasn't concerned. I wasn't, you know, panicking or concerned
because it's just a short walk from our house. He
knows how to get home, he knows how to get there.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Authorities dropped Soren off at home, and five hours later
they returned, call mommy and.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Tell him they're taking me to jail because you decided
to walk down the street.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
That's not his fault.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, Calle, you're the mother, that's your responsibility.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Any time I checked, it wasn't illegal for him to
walk to the store.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
When they're ten years old. Patterson was booked on suspicion
of reckless conduct, a charge that could carry one year
in jail.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
This pause for a moment. Did you hear her turn
to her son and say, let daddy or somebody know
that they're taking me to jail because you walked, You
went walking. And the cop speaks up and says, oh,
it's not his fault, it's your fault for letting him
do that. Well, how did she let him do that? Now?
(26:33):
I know she may you know, in that family, there
may have been permission given that. Hey, mom's taking you know,
your brother into the in to see the doctor. If
you decide you want to go into town, that's fine
with me. Let me know where you're going. By the way,
you happen to have a phone, let me know where
you're going. But what if she had What if she
had said, no, stay in the house, don't go anywhere,
(26:57):
and the kid instead, at ten and a half or
he since turned eleven, say ten and a half years old,
had decided that, well, you know, mom's gone, and I've
done this before, and I'm gonna go. I'm gonna walk
into town anyway. I'm gonna go walk into town and
I'm gonna get, you know, a coke or something. I'm
gonna get a candy bar, or I'm gonna go see
(27:18):
one of my friends. What if he had decided on
his own to do that? Is she still guilty of
some of being a horrible mother because she told him
no and a ten year old disobeyed mom? Oh my gosh,
stop the presses. A ten year old didn't obey mom.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
The warrant claiming she willingly and knowingly did in danger
the bodily safety of her juvenile's son or criminal.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Justice systems built on the fact that you did something
or you were negligent, and you did something criminally negligent.
So what is it she did?
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Authorities have offered to drop the charge if Patterson signs
a safety plan that includes the use of a GPS
tracker on her son's phone, well we'll drop the charge.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Is if you'll sign a document a safety plan. Now
I think that safety plan? Can you imagine? I mean,
who's going to draw that up? Lawyers have a heyday
with that a safety plan? Do you have a safety plan?
Do you you know? As the under secretary, I always
used to encourage people to have a you know, like
(28:22):
an evacuation plan. How do we get the hell out
of here? How do we communicate? How do we how
do we get a hold? How do you know, how
do we get together if a natural or mandate man
man made disaster occurs and I'm at the studio and
my wife's at the school, and my son's out at
the at the hospital teaching, and the grandkids are at school,
(28:44):
how do we all communicate and get together to you know,
to bug out and get to New Mexico to the
endisclosed location? How are we going to do that? Well,
I've encouraged that, but that's not what they're talking about.
They're talking about, we're going to mandate a safety plan
about how you're going to you're going to parent your child.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
But she refuses to sign it or admit doing anything wrong.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
I just felt like I couldn't sign that, and that
in doing so, would be agreeing that there was something
unsafe about my home or something unsafe about my printal decisions.
And I just don't believe that.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Brittany Patterson is out on bail waiting to see if
prosecutors will indict her on the reckless conduct charge.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
So she's out on bail. Here's something that you may
not catch the prosecutor. She's been arrested, and now she
has been charged, because you just can't arrest somebody without
charging them, because now you have a false arrest, you
have an illegal arrest, so you have to claim that
(29:49):
you've done The cops have to claim that she did
something wrong. So they've submitted a police report to the prosecutor,
to the DA's office, and now the DA will decide
whether or not to prosecute. Yet the local tops have
already arrested, jailed her, and she's bonded out. She's already
(30:10):
incurring expenses just to defend herself from her son walking
into town. Soft tyranny is still tyranny. I'll be right back. Hey,
welcome back to the weekend of Michael Brown. Glad to
have you with me. I appreciate you tuning in Democrats
(30:36):
progress as Marxist communists that I repeat myself, all believe
that the most minority, minute, the most tiny segment of
our population that in any other time in the history
of mankind, and I do mean in the entire history
(30:58):
of mankind, what I think considered to be an aberration
is now being normalized. I want you to imagine that
your daughter, your daughter ought to be forced to share
a bathroom with what I'm about to describe. I want
you to imagine a chubby white guy, just a chubby
(31:20):
old Caucasian got have a scraggly beard, scraggly mustache, rimmed glasses,
wire rimmed glasses, and he is well chubby's putting it mildly.
Let me put it this way. If the term man
boobs many mean anything to you, that's how chubby this
(31:44):
guy is. And he's a teacher. He's got a like
a Canadian maple leaf tattoo on his right upper breast area.
He's got some sort of neck a song, and he's
wearing a you you've seen women wear these kind of
(32:06):
uh dresses that you know, expose the shoulders and then
they come around under their armpits and their their breasts
kind of hold the you know, it's kind of lasting
around the top, kind of holds the dress up. Well,
he has he has a dress like that on. And
let's just say that, well, uh as as a guy
(32:27):
who's kind of a Native America, who's part Native American.
I look at all the hair that he's got on
on his on his chest and around his neck and
his shoulders and and and of course the scriggly beard
and everything is on his face. And I think, wow, hmm,
what about that's like? Because because I I I clearly
do not and which he goes to school dress this way. Now,
(32:55):
I just want to make sure you understand. It's obviously
this guy is a guy. But he's so proud of
himself because he did something.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
So I just got home from work and today, for
the first time, I dressed fully feminine in public in
the broad light of day.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
He's so happy, he's so giddy, he's so happy with himself.
And I'm looking at this and thinking, you know, if
I owned a retail business, would I want this to
be the front facing of my retail business, regardless of
what I'm selling? No, this, I owned a small cafe
or a restaurant, Do I want it to be this?
(33:39):
The the matre d No, I don't want that. Let's
say I'm I'm I run a school. Or no, let's
make it better, I'm I'm the mother of that of
that eleven year old that walked, you know, walked into town.
Do I want that eleven year old going into the
classroom and this be the teacher. No, I do not.
(34:02):
Now do I care if this guy does this? No,
I do not. That's his choice. But choices have consequences.
But we have we now live in a society where
there are no consequences to your choices anymore. This is
an individual that, quite frankly, I wouldn't hire to work
(34:26):
in the in the warehouse. First of all, I don't
think you know, I don't think he co'll probably handle
moving goods, whether it be an Amazon warehouse or my
own warehouse that I'm you know, stacking running. You know
I've got I've got for cliffs moving stuff. I wouldn't
hire this guy to do this. I'm not sure what
I would hire this guy to do. Now Again, I
(34:46):
want to emphasize if he wants to do this, that's fine,
but I wouldn't. I'm just saying that I would not
hire him.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
It was to a luncheon at my work with the
board of directors of the theater company I work for.
I wore my lemon dress and my kafia.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
He wore a kafia, you know, the Palestinian headdress. Yeah,
he's clear, he's not Palestinian. He's clearly not Palestini, and
you know it.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
In the grand scheme of things, might seem like a
small victory, but you you gotta let yourself celebrate your
small victories because there's a lot of times when those
big ones feel really few and far between. And right now,
(35:49):
for me, every little victory I get is one more
step that I have taken towards being fully myself or.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
And you know, power to it. If that's who he is,
and if that's who he wants to be, then you
know what, I don't care. But you know what I think.
I think he's a freak. I truly think he is
a free There's something wrong. There is something truly psychologically
(36:24):
wrong with this individual. But you can't say that because
again that soft tyranny says that, oh no, you cannot
think that, Michael. You have to accept that. No, actually
I don't, and I refuse to. It's the weekend with
Michael Brown. Don't forget. You can text me anytime. The
(36:44):
numbers three three, one zero three starts your message with
the word Mike or Michael. Either one doesn't make any difference.
Hang tight, we'll be back
To night. Michael Brown joins me here, the former FEMA
director of talk.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Show host Michael Brown.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
Brownie, no, Brownie, You're doing a heck of a job.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The Weekend with Michael Brown.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Hey, Happy Saturday, everybody. Welcome to the Weekend with Michael Brown.
Happy Uh. Week of Thanksgiving, Saturday before Thanksgiving. It's the uh.
I guess I could say. I think we can say
we've officially entered the holiday season, at least I will.
I Where was oh? I had to go to the
mall because my kids had gotten me appair of the
(00:29):
smart glasses. So I went to one of the malls
here in Denver, and I opened the door to the mall.
You know how you open the you know, you go
through the main doors. I open the main door and
walk in, and I immediately get blasted with Christmas music
being crosbye or somebody singing I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
and it's just it was kind of like a slap
in the face. I thought, holy cow, it's not even Thanksgiving.
(00:52):
I know I live, I know I live a sheltered life,
and I know that everybody's had her You've probably had
your Christmas decorations huh. I fully expect to get home
this afternoon and my wife has a tree out and
everything's already Christmas time. But it's crazy. It's crazy. Anyway, Welcome,
Welcome to the weekend. Glad to have you with me.
(01:12):
You know the rules of engagement, they're pretty easy if
you want to send me a message. By the way,
I don't know what's going on with the text messaging,
but the text messages from all of you, y'all who's
goobers this week have been simply amazing. I mean totally amazing,
and I mean I mean amazing in a good way too,
really some really good points. And then the other thing
has been going on. And maybe it's because we've we've
(01:34):
entered the season where it's it's time to get serious
about governing. I mean, we won, right, and so now
we the campaign's over, but now the real work begins,
and so now we have to really think about how
are we going to do some of these things? And
are we going to be able to accomplish some of
these things and some of the things that we're wanting
(01:54):
to get done. Kind of when you step back and
think about it, are things that as conservatives a few
years ago, a few years ago, maybe ten years ago,
we would have never even considered this a priority. I'll
give you a hand because I do want to kind
of delve into it later in the program. And this,
this whole thing about make America healthy again, well that
(02:16):
means we've got to go against big food, big food,
big farmer, the agricultural industry. I grew up in agg country,
I grew up in ranching country. I love cowboys and
ranchers and farmers and and I know where my food
comes from and all of that. But you know, and
don't get me wrong, they're not the problem. It's the
middleman's the problem, food processors and all of that. So anyway,
(02:41):
the text messages have been like almost from one extreme
to the other. I'm all for this, but now I'm
all against this. Well wait a minute, you voted for
this and now you're against it. It's kind of a
fascinating thing that's going on. But anyway, if you sm
me a text message, you know the number three three
one zero three on your message app, it's three three
one zero three, start the message with the word Mike
(03:02):
or Michael, tell me anything or ask me anything. So
let's you know this because it is Thanksgiving. Kind of
one of the themes I want to start off with is
this idea about why do we celebrate Thanksgiving? You know what, Michael,
my producer in LA heard me playing a sound bite
(03:25):
from Rush Limbaugh from November fourth or twentieth, or maybe
it is November twenty fourth something, sometime in November of
twenty twenty when Rush was talking about the true meaning
of Thanksgiving and the real story of Thanksgiving. And I
may get to that later in the program, or at
least quote from it, but it's that time of year
(03:48):
where we need to think about that real story, and
the real story of Thanksgiving can be summed upast at
least from the point of view of Rush Limbaugh. Rush,
when he told the story, before you get into the
details of it, he would give you all the background
(04:11):
about what it is that we learned. You know, we
learned about Plymouth Rock and the Pilgrims coming here and
how the Indians save the Pilgrims, and you know, and
that's the end of the story. Well, no, that's not
the real story. Let me just read you one point
to as a lead in about this first story. But
(04:33):
it goes back to Limbaugh and this is from November
of twenty twenty. The transcript from the show that day
says this, The point is the true story of Thanksgiving
as he's been, as he was telling it over the years,
is spreading. And I couldn't be happier about that. Bottom line,
(04:54):
It is spreading. I'm just going to cut to the
chase here before getting into reading the text way of Thanksgiving,
going back to the very first early days of the
Pilgrims arriving at Plymouth Rock, is that socialism failed. And
He's right, socialism has failed. Now now he told that
story for you know, a decade or more, and now
(05:16):
it's been you know, four years since we last heard
him say that or tell that story, and where are
we well. The soft tyranny, the soft tyranny of the
of the nanty state, really does prevail. And I think
one of the things that we're going to see ourselves
(05:37):
fighting as we try to govern from a right of
center position, is that the tyranny of the state, the
tyranny of government, the tyranny of the administrative state, the
tyranny of the left, the tyranny of progressivism, the tiery
of the Marxist, the tyranny of the communists. All of
(05:58):
this tyranny is going to push back really hard against
us because they can't give an inch. They already realize
that when when you look at Trump's vote totals in
the popular vote, when you look at the landslide landslide
in the electoral college, and you look at the absolute
failure and I do mean failure of the Democrat Party,
(06:23):
in particular Kamala Harris, her inability to translate into a
to a message of their ideology into something that is
acceptable not just to you know, old farts like me,
but when you get down into people are voting for
the first time eighteen let's say, eighteen to thirty four
(06:45):
year olds, when that group overwhelmingly turned to the right
and voted conservatively, that means your message is failing. And
we continue to hear that. You know, during this week's
program on the morning program, I played two or three
sound bites from the view and as you listen to them,
(07:08):
they continue to completely miss the point about this election.
And there I could go down a dozen rabbit holes
about why they continue to do so. The overall, the
over arching reason why they fail to get the message
is because they truly do live in a bubble. When
when your world consists of the media empire that's located
(07:32):
in New York City or on the on the on
the West coast in Los Angeles, when that's your bubble
and you live within that bubble, you don't really get
what's going on. I mean, flyover country is no longer say,
you know, west of the Mississippi to the Rocky Mountain,
that's no longer flyover country. Flyover country literally is from
(07:52):
the Hudson River to Los Angeles County that's now flyover country.
That includes Arizona, that includes the Blue Wall states of
Michigan and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, all all of those Midwestern
states that all of those that went red. We're now
flyover country everywhere. And the left just doesn't get it.
(08:14):
Let me tell you a story about why I think
this soft tyranny of the nanny state prevails. And it's
going to take yes, big ideas, but it's also going
to take really small, tiny ideas in very localized areas
to fight the nanny state. You know, when I was
(08:35):
a kid, When I was a kid, I used to
have to walk to school uphill both ways in a snowstorm.
You know you've heard that kind of story before. It
was so much different when I was a kid. Well
it was different. But the nanny state overall has deprived
children of simply being children. What do I mean? Will
(08:56):
you hear that next? Don't forget on your podcast app.

with me. Be sure and follow me on x you

So where the soft tyranny of the nanty state prevails.
If you have a ten year old who walks by
himself to the store, apparently they can get your thrown
in prison. In jail, here's the story Britney Patterson, forty
one years old, was arrested on suspicion of reckless conduct
(10:02):
back on October thirty over her son's unsupervised walk. According
to the Fannin County Sheriff's Office, Patterson had taken another
son to a doctor's appointment, which she left her son, Soren,
who's now eleven years old, alone at their home in
the rural town of Mineral Bluff. According to NBC News,
(10:22):
after someone reported Soren's wondering, deputies located him and drove
him home. Swarren was apprehended for walking into town unsupervised
less than a mile from his home. Mom was released
on a five hundred dollars bail could face up to
(10:42):
a year in jail under the charge what's going on
here now? Every parent has a right and an obligation
to make the decision for their child based on all
the totality of circumstances of where they're going to let
(11:05):
their kids go, How far down the street, how far
away from home can they you know, how far are
they going to go to the school bus stop, or
what you know? In my neighborhood directly across the street
from from our house in suburban Denver. Are two families
(11:25):
I know. I know both families. They both have two children,
they're both in they're they're all all four of these kids,
three girls and a boy, are all still in grade school.
And the parents I've observed, I've watched. There's there's a
park across the street, across an arterial street from us.
(11:46):
There's a controlled crossrock, and they'll sometimes let the kids
go over to that park, and and there are all
sorts of adults walking around that park all the time,
mostly dog walking or exercising. And I consider our neighborhood
to be a very safe neighborhood. I understand. Look, I
understand the dangers that exist, but have you ever thought
(12:10):
about how realistic those dangers are? Now? I know that
the likelihood of something happening to one of those four
kids is very remote, almost minuscule, and infinitesimly small. But
I also know the consequences of something did happen, that
the consequences are extraordinarily high. So you have a divergent path.
(12:34):
If you're looking at a chart, the likelihood is way
down here at the bottom, but the consequences of that
unlikely thing happening the consequences of it are are huge.
But why why have we reached the point whether you
live in a rural area or an urban area, that
now the nanny state is the one that decides whether
(12:56):
or not you have endangered your child. I think it's
because there's an objective, and that objective is to infantalize
the to make us all infants, infantilize the American population.
And when and when they accomplish that, when we all
turn into beta males, when we all turn into Wissa's
(13:18):
when we all you know, I've talked for years about
the whissification of this country. We're scared of our own shadows.
That's not to say that there's not danger out there,
but nobody does any sort of risk analysis. Nobody steps
back and says, you know, what is it okay for
these four kids to ride their bikes up and down
(13:39):
the street? Now, our street goes down the hill, makes
a curve around, and you can't always see around the curve.
But I would say that most everybody on that street
recognizes the cars that in the Street's a fairly long street.
I'm guessing it's maybe a mile long. I don't know
everybody else in that street. But I recognize most of
(14:03):
the cars, and I also recognize when someone you know
and I look. I observe when someone is parked out
in front of the house and they're sitting in the car.
I make note of the car. Sometimes I'll make note
of the license plate with or remember it or not
might be another thing, and make a mental note of
(14:24):
male or female sitting behind the steering wheel, kind of
what do they look like and what are they doing?
And I make sure they that they know that I
know that I'm looking at them just out of an
abundance of caution because I know they're kids in the neighborhood.
And sometimes what are they doing? Maybe they stop, they're
looking for directions, They're looking for the for a particular address.
I'm I'm trying to find a friend's house that's on
(14:45):
the street somewhere. But I do believe that in this
situation where you let you're eleven year old walk into
town in a rural area unsupervised, you get arrested for that,
it is to infantalize the American population so that when
(15:06):
they finally accomplished that room, we're so scared of each other.
When we're so scared of everything, we'll put up no
more resistance to the progressive agenda, no more resistant resistance
than a than a baby in diapers. And when anything
bad happens, we're all pooper pants, all poop and pierre
pants like babies, like infants.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Police body camera video shows the moment Brittany Patterson was
arrested for letting her ten year old son walk into
town by himself. What am I under arrest for for
reckless ennajument?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
And how was I?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
On October thirtieth, Patterson said she took one of her
children to the doctor. In the meantime, her son, Soren,
who since turned eleven, decided to walk less than a
mile into town from their home in rural Mineral Bluff, Georgia.
While out, Patterson got a call from the Sheriff's department
worried that Soren was walking alone.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I wasn't concerned. I wasn't, you know, panicking or concerned,
because it's just a short walk from our house. He
knows how to get home, he knows how to get there.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Authorities dropped sore and off at home, and five hours
later they returned, call mommy and.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Tell him they're taking me to jail.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Because you decided to walk down the street.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
That's not his fault.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Yeah, you're the mother, your responsibility.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Anytime I checked, it wasn't illegal for a hip to
walk to the store.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
It is when they're ten years old. Patterson was booked
on suspicion of reckless conduct, a charge that could carry
one year in jail. The warrant claiming she willingly and
knowingly did endanger the bodily safety of her juvenile's son.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Our criminal justice systems built on the fact that you
did something or you were negligent. You did something criminally negligent,
So what is it she did.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Authorities have offered to drop the charge if Patterson signs
a safety plan that includes the use of a GPS
tracker on her son's phone.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
So there's already a GP you know, unless he's just
got a dumb phone, unless he's just got a flip phone,
he already has a GPS tracker on it. And if
it's an iPhone, it's gotta find my on it. So
if she share, if she sets the son's phone up
to share his location, she can see where he is
all the time. But I want you to stop and
think about the stupidity of that. Have you thought about
(17:22):
how stupid that is? Oh, listen, we'll drop the charges
if you'll put a tracker on your son's phone. Oh
so you mean it's okay for him to walk into
town like he was doing, as long as you can
see where he is. Oh okay. So the problem is
we didn't have a chip in his head? Is that
what the deal is? My gosh, the tyranny of government
(17:47):
trying to tell you how to raise your children. It's
simply out of control. So we came with Michael Brown.
Don't forget Go follow me on X It's at Michael
Brown USA. Send me a text message the numbers three three,
one zero three. I'll be right back tonight. Michael Brown
joins me here, the former FEMA director.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Talk show host Michael Brown.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Brownie, no, Brownie, You're doing a heck of a job.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
The Weekend with Michael Brown.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Hey, welcome back to the beginning with Michael Brown. Glad
to have you with me. I appreciate you tuning in.
So if you want to find one of our three
hundred plus affiliates around the country, go to this website,
Michael says, go here dot com, pull down how to
listen tab, and there you'll find an interactive map of
all the affiliates across the country when they air the
program and when they re air the program. You'll also
(18:36):
find you know the bio, and you'll find stories we
put up there. And you also find all the social
media icons. So if you want to follow me on X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube,
those are all right there on that website at Michael
says go here dot com. Michael says go here dot com.
So a couple of the ask me whether there's a
GoFundMe for this woman for for legal fees. I don't know.
(19:02):
I didn't look, so I don't know. But I want
to go back to the story. I want to hear
the story one more time from This is from an
ABC affiliate out of Georgia, because I want to I
want to go back to this idea that government when
we when we think about government, we often forget that
(19:24):
you know, your your local cop that you may know
might be your neighbor, is government. Teachers are government, your
county commissioner or your city council. You see, there there's
as much power and control exercised over our daily lives
at the local level then there is or maybe even
(19:46):
more so than there is the federal level. It's it's
just government now. Again, as I often repeat, maybe too often,
because you surely understand this, I'm not an anarchist. I'm
not saying that we ought to just blow up and
live in a pure anarchy state or a pure democratic state. No,
(20:10):
I'm not saying that at all. But what we've done
is we have failed. We have lost our ability to
make rational decisions on our own, and because everybody has
been made afraid of everything that we now somehow, at
(20:33):
least I don't, and I don't think many of you
do either, But I think the vast majority of Americans
now expect the government to protect us from any bad
that could ever happen to us. I woke up yesterday
morning or yesterday during the day, I start, after I
finished my program, I start realizing that, oh, it's Thanksgiving,
(20:57):
So what's the news going to be. The news is
all about the weather and traveling and how oh you
got to do all these things to be prepared because
you know your your flight might get canceled. Well, okay,
so maybe there's one person out there that's never flown
in their entire life, and they wouldn't have a clue
what to do if their playing, if their flight got canceled.
(21:19):
All right, I get that, But do we really have
to talk about the bomb cyclone, about about the atmospheric river.
I mean, you would think that we need to stay
in our homes because oh my gosh, there's a low
pressure system out there that's gonna move, you know, from
the from the Pacific northwest, and it's going to come
across the country. Or there might be a cold front,
(21:41):
you know, there might be a Canadian cold front coming down,
because after all, it is freaking November. But no, we
have to use things like bomb cyclone, you know, an
atmospheric river, as if there's a flash flood of water
coming out of the sky that's gonna come down and
just destroy humanity. We're taught to learn, we're subliminately taught
(22:02):
to live in fear of virtually everything. Stop it, live
your life, let your kids be kids. Take a little
bit of risk in your life. Now you've got to
decide for yourself how much risk is acceptable. But let
(22:24):
me just point out that the minute you woke up
this morning and got out of bed, you started taking risks.
There was I don't know where I saw it, but
there was. It was some meme on TikTok or Facebook
or somewhere, and it made me think that this is
(22:47):
the point we've gotten to. And it was basically, you're
getting out of bed the wrong way. And I thought, really,
because from my entire life, I've thrown the covers over,
you know, off, and I've swung my legs around, and
I've stood up and gotten out of bed. Well, apparently
that's the wrong way to do it. And someone was
(23:08):
showing how to you know, you you pull the covers off,
and you pull your knee, kind of pull your knees
up to your chest, and you turn over to yours
on your side, and then you kind of drop your
legs over and then once you once your legs kind
of get over, then you take, you know, depending outside
the bed you're on, you take your right or left
hand and you kind of push yourself up into an
(23:30):
upright position and then you slowly stand up. And I thought,
my god, really, they're they're teaching us how to get
out of bed, and if we don't do it, we're
gonna end up, you know, over over, over time, we're
gonna hurt our backs. Well, I got news for you.
The older you get, the week of your back's going
to get unless you really fight it all the way
(23:51):
and can continue to exercise and work hard. It's just
a risk. My point is, it's just a risk. But
there was actually there there was there was a video
showing you how to get a bed. Let me ask
you this, what are you afraid of? What are you
afraid of? You get in your car every day and
you go, you go driving, zipping down the highway, You
(24:13):
get on the freeway and rush hour traffic. Although you know,
at at least the rush hour traffic, you know if
there's a fender bender, you're unlikely to get killed. But
if you live in the wide open spaces of Colorado
and you get on the interstate and you're doing like
I tend to do, you know, eighty five miles an hour,
I know the risks of doing that, and so I'm
willing to accept that risk. What are you willing to accept? Seriously,
(24:41):
stop and think about what risks you're willing to accept.
And now I want you to think about something else.
Of all the risks that you take every single day,
how much do you think the government ought to intervene
to for checked you from those risks. Listen to the
(25:04):
story again.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Police body camera video shows the moment Brittany Patterson was
arrested for letting her ten year old son walk into
town by himself.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
What am I under arrest for?
Speaker 2 (25:15):
For a reckless and nature of it?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
And how was I?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
On October thirtieth, Patterson said she took one of her
children to the doctor. In the meantime, her son, Soren,
who since turned eleven, decided to walk less than a
mile into town from their home and Rule Mineral Bluff, Georgia.
While out, Patterson got a call from the Sheriff's department
worried that Soren was walking alone.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
I wasn't concerned. I wasn't, you know, panicking or concerned
because it's just a short walk from our house. He
knows how to get home, he knows how to get there.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Authorities dropped Soren off at home, and five hours later
they returned, call mommy and.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Tell him they're taking me to jail because you decided
to walk down the street.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
That's not his fault.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, Calle, you're the mother, that's your responsibility.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Any time I checked, it wasn't illegal for him to
walk to the store.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
When they're ten years old. Patterson was booked on suspicion
of reckless conduct, a charge that could carry one year
in jail.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
This pause for a moment. Did you hear her turn
to her son and say, let daddy or somebody know
that they're taking me to jail because you walked, You
went walking. And the cop speaks up and says, oh,
it's not his fault, it's your fault for letting him
do that. Well, how did she let him do that? Now?
(26:33):
I know she may you know, in that family, there
may have been permission given that. Hey, mom's taking you know,
your brother into the in to see the doctor. If
you decide you want to go into town, that's fine
with me. Let me know where you're going. By the way,
you happen to have a phone, let me know where
you're going. But what if she had What if she
had said, no, stay in the house, don't go anywhere,
(26:57):
and the kid instead, at ten and a half or
he since turned eleven, say ten and a half years old,
had decided that, well, you know, mom's gone, and I've
done this before, and I'm gonna go. I'm gonna walk
into town anyway. I'm gonna go walk into town and
I'm gonna get, you know, a coke or something. I'm
gonna get a candy bar, or I'm gonna go see
(27:18):
one of my friends. What if he had decided on
his own to do that? Is she still guilty of
some of being a horrible mother because she told him
no and a ten year old disobeyed mom? Oh my gosh,
stop the presses. A ten year old didn't obey mom.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
The warrant claiming she willingly and knowingly did in danger
the bodily safety of her juvenile's son or criminal.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Justice systems built on the fact that you did something
or you were negligent, and you did something criminally negligent.
So what is it she did?
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Authorities have offered to drop the charge if Patterson signs
a safety plan that includes the use of a GPS
tracker on her son's phone, well we'll drop the charge.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Is if you'll sign a document a safety plan. Now
I think that safety plan? Can you imagine? I mean,
who's going to draw that up? Lawyers have a heyday
with that a safety plan? Do you have a safety plan?
Do you you know? As the under secretary, I always
used to encourage people to have a you know, like
(28:22):
an evacuation plan. How do we get the hell out
of here? How do we communicate? How do we how
do we get a hold? How do you know, how
do we get together if a natural or mandate man
man made disaster occurs and I'm at the studio and
my wife's at the school, and my son's out at
the at the hospital teaching, and the grandkids are at school,
(28:44):
how do we all communicate and get together to you know,
to bug out and get to New Mexico to the
endisclosed location? How are we going to do that? Well,
I've encouraged that, but that's not what they're talking about.
They're talking about, we're going to mandate a safety plan
about how you're going to you're going to parent your child.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
But she refuses to sign it or admit doing anything wrong.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
I just felt like I couldn't sign that, and that
in doing so, would be agreeing that there was something
unsafe about my home or something unsafe about my printal decisions.
And I just don't believe that.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Brittany Patterson is out on bail waiting to see if
prosecutors will indict her on the reckless conduct charge.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
So she's out on bail. Here's something that you may
not catch the prosecutor. She's been arrested, and now she
has been charged, because you just can't arrest somebody without
charging them, because now you have a false arrest, you
have an illegal arrest, so you have to claim that
(29:49):
you've done The cops have to claim that she did
something wrong. So they've submitted a police report to the prosecutor,
to the DA's office, and now the DA will decide
whether or not to prosecute. Yet the local tops have
already arrested, jailed her, and she's bonded out. She's already
(30:10):
incurring expenses just to defend herself from her son walking
into town. Soft tyranny is still tyranny. I'll be right back. Hey,
welcome back to the weekend of Michael Brown. Glad to
have you with me. I appreciate you tuning in Democrats
(30:36):
progress as Marxist communists that I repeat myself, all believe
that the most minority, minute, the most tiny segment of
our population that in any other time in the history
of mankind, and I do mean in the entire history
(30:58):
of mankind, what I think considered to be an aberration
is now being normalized. I want you to imagine that
your daughter, your daughter ought to be forced to share
a bathroom with what I'm about to describe. I want
you to imagine a chubby white guy, just a chubby
(31:20):
old Caucasian got have a scraggly beard, scraggly mustache, rimmed glasses,
wire rimmed glasses, and he is well chubby's putting it mildly.
Let me put it this way. If the term man
boobs many mean anything to you, that's how chubby this
(31:44):
guy is. And he's a teacher. He's got a like
a Canadian maple leaf tattoo on his right upper breast area.
He's got some sort of neck a song, and he's
wearing a you you've seen women wear these kind of
(32:06):
uh dresses that you know, expose the shoulders and then
they come around under their armpits and their their breasts
kind of hold the you know, it's kind of lasting
around the top, kind of holds the dress up. Well,
he has he has a dress like that on. And
let's just say that, well, uh as as a guy
(32:27):
who's kind of a Native America, who's part Native American.
I look at all the hair that he's got on
on his on his chest and around his neck and
his shoulders and and and of course the scriggly beard
and everything is on his face. And I think, wow, hmm,
what about that's like? Because because I I I clearly
do not and which he goes to school dress this way. Now,
(32:55):
I just want to make sure you understand. It's obviously
this guy is a guy. But he's so proud of
himself because he did something.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
So I just got home from work and today, for
the first time, I dressed fully feminine in public in
the broad light of day.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
He's so happy, he's so giddy, he's so happy with himself.
And I'm looking at this and thinking, you know, if
I owned a retail business, would I want this to
be the front facing of my retail business, regardless of
what I'm selling? No, this, I owned a small cafe
or a restaurant, Do I want it to be this?
(33:39):
The the matre d No, I don't want that. Let's
say I'm I'm I run a school. Or no, let's
make it better, I'm I'm the mother of that of
that eleven year old that walked, you know, walked into town.
Do I want that eleven year old going into the
classroom and this be the teacher. No, I do not.
(34:02):
Now do I care if this guy does this? No,
I do not. That's his choice. But choices have consequences.
But we have we now live in a society where
there are no consequences to your choices anymore. This is
an individual that, quite frankly, I wouldn't hire to work
(34:26):
in the in the warehouse. First of all, I don't
think you know, I don't think he co'll probably handle
moving goods, whether it be an Amazon warehouse or my
own warehouse that I'm you know, stacking running. You know
I've got I've got for cliffs moving stuff. I wouldn't
hire this guy to do this. I'm not sure what
I would hire this guy to do. Now Again, I
(34:46):
want to emphasize if he wants to do this, that's fine,
but I wouldn't. I'm just saying that I would not
hire him.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
It was to a luncheon at my work with the
board of directors of the theater company I work for.
I wore my lemon dress and my kafia.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
He wore a kafia, you know, the Palestinian headdress. Yeah,
he's clear, he's not Palestinian. He's clearly not Palestini, and
you know it.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
In the grand scheme of things, might seem like a
small victory, but you you gotta let yourself celebrate your
small victories because there's a lot of times when those
big ones feel really few and far between. And right now,
(35:49):
for me, every little victory I get is one more
step that I have taken towards being fully myself or.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
And you know, power to it. If that's who he is,
and if that's who he wants to be, then you
know what, I don't care. But you know what I think.
I think he's a freak. I truly think he is
a free There's something wrong. There is something truly psychologically
(36:24):
wrong with this individual. But you can't say that because
again that soft tyranny says that, oh no, you cannot
think that, Michael. You have to accept that. No, actually
I don't, and I refuse to. It's the weekend with
Michael Brown. Don't forget. You can text me anytime. The
(36:44):
numbers three three, one zero three starts your message with
the word Mike or Michael. Either one doesn't make any difference.
Hang tight, we'll be back
