(01:47):
during the during the weekday too. So speaking to the
vice president Kamala Harris, where's she being, what's she doing?
What's she going to be doing? I think she's gonna
be She's gonna rebound. She's gonna rebound crazy, but not
in the way you think she is going to be
offered substantial monies for a book deal. There's a lot

(02:12):
of media speculation out there that suggests that a bunch
of the leading public publishing houses are offering up to
x amount for exclusive rights to a book that would
detail her experience, including the election campaign. Now, how much
do you think it is?

Speaker 2 (02:29):
What? What?

Speaker 3 (02:30):
What do you think that those rights are worth? And
would you buy the book?

Speaker 2 (02:35):
I would.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
I don't care, honestly, if they gave me the book,
I might. Do you know, there's a thing called the
Washington Read. The Washington Read is and when I was
when they were still writing books about the the Bush
administration or anything comes out in a book that I

(03:00):
think I know that person, or that person knows me,
or I engage with that person, I do the Washington Read,
which is, you pick up the book in a bookstore
and you go back to the index and you look
for your name, and then if your name's there, you
read those pages that have your name in it, and
if it looks interesting, then you might buy the book.
Otherwise you just put it back on the shelf. I

(03:22):
used to do that all the time. Oh, I'm in
a lot of books, and it's not always good.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
By the way.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
You know, I've never suggested, but if you guys would
like to read my book, you can still It's available
wherever books are sold. It's called Deadly Indifference, so you
can find you can find Deadly in Difference online through
Amazon or Barnes and Noble or any bookseller. Deadly in
Difference go buy the book, find out wind out the
real side about Katrina. How much do you think Kamala

(03:48):
Harris is going to get? I didn't get this much.
I promise you I didn't get anywhere near this much
they're offering her, at least according to sources. I've read
up to twenty million dollars for those rights. Twenty million dollars.
And my guess is this is my guess, the book
will sell for at least twenty nine ninety five, if
not thirty five bucks. I'm not spending thirty five dollars

(04:12):
to read her book, not at all. I'll wait till
you know. They always have the sale tables where you know,
books that used to be twenty nine ninety five thirty
nine ninety five are now you know, available over here
on the sale table for five bucks. I'm not sure
i'd buy it then, I really don't care. You send
me as a Christmas present, I'll send you a videotape

(04:33):
of me burning it? How about that? Uh no, Michael,
I'll send you a copy of it. That's what I'll
send you a copy of According to one insider in
one story that I read, quote, virtually the moment Kamala
lost to Trump, offers began pouring in from the publishing world. Well,

(04:54):
I understand, because there'll be a lot of people that
will be really curious. Will she say anything about it
what we just talked about. Will she even mention the
twenty fifth Amendment? Will she talk about the Wall Street
Journal article? Will she talk about conversations? Will she talked
about the Afghanistan withdrawal? So yeah, I think that if
if I wrote a book publisher, I'm not sure i'd
offer her twenty million dollars because remember, they want to

(05:18):
earn that money back, and you have to sell a
boatload of books to get twenty million dollars back. Now
they get the money. So when I wrote my book,
I got a book deal upfront, I got paid upfront,
and then I got paid royalties as every book was sold.

(05:40):
So full disclosure, you buy one of my books, I
get a little bit of cash on them. It's not
very much, but you know, helped support my diet Cokevin.
So yeah, I suppose if I were a bookseller, I'd
be calculating how many books do we think we can sell?
And I would also put particularly on her, which would

(06:01):
be interesting. Now, part of my book deal was I
had to go on a book tour. I had to
go to the National Book Publisher's Convention or whatever it
was at the Javitt Center in New York City, and
I had to you know, we had a booth set up,
my publisher did, and we had a booth set up,
and then I had to make a presentation about the

(06:23):
book to all the booksellers that were there. I had
to do all that stuff. And then we have books,
you know, we have little books sales around the country,
and I go do that, and you know, I peered
with Neil Cavudo and others on Fox News. I peered
with Chris Matthews on MSNBC and talked about the book.
So I did all those things. So I'm sure that
they will require Kamala Harris to do that, which will

(06:46):
be fascinating because this is a.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Woman that.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Couldn't do a press conference, always had to read from
the teleprompter, wasn't very good at that and when she
spoke extemporaneously, it was always a disaster. So in addition
to the publishing officers offers, there's some speculation that there's
interest from places like Netflix, who is considering producing content

(07:13):
related to Harris after her tenure as VP. All right,
I'm thinking to myself, what word salad of the day,
what are they going to do? And of course, you know,
those kinds of things get pursued with almost all political figures.

(07:35):
Book deals for political figures are generally pretty lucrative. Bill
Clinton got ten million dollars back in two thousand and
one for his memoir in twenty seventeen, but Rocky Michelle
they got sixty five million dollars for their deal with
Penguin Books for joint for joint publications. They both had

(07:56):
to publish a book. But I think critics are right
when they questioned Harris's book book deal because of the
lack of potential success. You think about the challenges she
faced in just communicating effectively with the electorate during the campaign,

(08:16):
and then you think about the past accusations of plagiarism
related to her two thousand and nine publication Smart on Crime,
and you're scratching your head. Go on, I've never heard
of that before. Yeah, she's already published something smart on crime.
It was published in two thousand and nine, so it's
pretty old. It's what fifteen years old now, and there
are accusations of plagiarism in the book in which she

(08:40):
co off the book when she was serving as DA
in San Francisco. So twenty million dollars would you buy
the book? I don't think so. But speaking of making money,
Nancy and Paul Pelosi are in the news and they're
making money off you. It's the Weekend with Michael Brown.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Hey, welcome back to the Weekend of Michael Brown. That's
me glad to have you with me Merry Christmas, Happy Honikah,
and happy New Year too. And if you celebrate Kwanza
or Festivus, well.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Sucks to be you. I can't help you.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
If you want to send me a text message, the
message number is three three one zero three. Just start
your message with the word Mike or Michael. Go follow
me on X at Michael Brown USA. I want you
to imagine for a moment, a luxury hotel Napa Valley, California.
For at least twenty, maybe thirty years or longer, this

(10:06):
hotel has never turned much much of a profit. I
mean there's a little bit of a profit, but not much.
But imagine that same little hotel in Napa and it's
turned into a major financial windfall for house speaker Nancy
Plow or former house speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband Paul.

(10:27):
And it's all because of COVID. Yes, are we ever
going to be done with COVID? It's the gift that
just keeps on giving, baby, I mean, it just keeps
on giving. Remember all those pandemic emergency relief funds, you know,
the Cares Act, and you know we're going to pay
you to do this, and pay you not to do that,

(10:48):
and you know essential employees and non essential employees and
payroll protection programs, all that bull crap. Yes, well, the
hotel is the Abige Solel Hotel, which the Pelosies own
a significant portion of. They got a nine million dollar

(11:10):
US taxpayer meaning you funded bailout back during the pandemic.
This is all according to real clear investigations. The COVID
relief money that was dispersed to the hotel corresponds with
a twenty twenty one ethics report in which Speaker Pelosi
reported that her family's income generated from their stake in

(11:33):
that hotel jumped from one million dollars to five million
dollars in one year. Now, in most years, the hotel
has reported losses anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds
of thousands of dollars. Now, think about this, if you
understand finances, even a rudimentary understanding of finances, If that

(12:00):
hotel and they own a major stake in it, if
the hotel loses somewhere between you know, tens two hundreds
of thousands of year, part of those losses belong to
the Pelosis So they can set those losses off against
any other capital gains they might have in any other investments,

(12:22):
which reduces their tax bill. But on top of so,
you know, they pay less taxes based on those losses. Now,
I'm not criticizing that, I'm just trying to paint the
entire picture for you. So the hotel is losing tens
of hundreds of thousands of dollars year after year for decades,
and then suddenly it goes from their income goes from

(12:43):
one million dollars to five million dollars in the hotel.
That's that's a pretty dark, good, good darn increase. Now,
in addition to this particular hotel in Napa, a bunch
of other hotels and restaurants that are owned by Paul
and Nancy Pelosis were recipients of taxpayer dollars through other
pandemic relief programs, including a are you ready a twenty

(13:08):
eight million dollar windfall for the Pelosi family. Now, other
lawmakers have also been invented from pandemic A granted to
their private businesses. So don't think I'm picking on Nancy Pelosi,
although I am, because the magnitude the scope of her

(13:32):
benefit from pandemic aid makes all the others look like
pocket change. Twenty eight million dollars on top of the
five million dollars, so thirty three million dollars from taxpayers
based on legislation that she ran through Congress to help

(13:53):
these businesses. We know the fact that the former House
Speaker was one of the key negotiation negotiators in securing
the passage of almost six trillion dollars in pandemic aid raises,

(14:14):
in my opinion, really serious ethical questions regarding the level
of profits that she and her husband were able to
draw from the legislation that she negotiated. Now, it has
previously been reported that Nancy Pelosi's net worth has hit
a new record high, reaching upwards of two hundred and

(14:35):
seventy two million dollars. That is an exponential increase from
her report of wealth just ten years ago. The eighty
four year old Democrat and her husband have been prolific
stock traders throughout this past year, reported trade volume of
one hundred and thirty seven point four million dollars on

(14:56):
one hundred and seventy one trains, so almost not quite,
but almost almost a million dollars per trade. Now, I'm
pretty much well, I am pretty much libertarian and conservative,
and I don't necessarily believe that congressmen ought to be

(15:17):
prevented from having investments. Why shouldn't they, But I think
there's a really pretty bright line between understanding that legislation
you're going to pass and push will benefit you directly.
Maybe you ought to be required to put all of
that in a trust, in a blind trust where you

(15:39):
have no idea whether you still owning any interest in
that hotel or not, or maybe you can't trade, you know,
let's stop the insider trading. If I did the equivalent
of what they did, the SEC would probably come down
on me and accuse me of insider trading because I'm
benefiting from insider knowledge about what's going on.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Someone told me.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
That, and I haven't done the calculations because I'm horrible
at math. But based on those one hundred and thirty
seven million dollars in trades that they did just this
past year, their profit off the stock market was close
to sixty five percent. Nine of the stock market has
been on a wild ride this year, but sixty five percent.

(16:26):
That tells me you know something that other people don't know.
And most of that, most of that came from I
shouldn't say most what's twenty five, twenty five plus five,
let's just say thirty million dollars, so thirty thirty thirty

(16:47):
little not quite a third of their profits came off
direct benefits because of legislation that she a speaker, pushed
through during the pandemic. Now, we always want to talk
about Biden and all of the corrupt influence peddling that

(17:08):
they engaged in, But everything Nancy Pelosi did well, it
may have been unethical, in my opinion, probably legal. So
at some point we have to recognize that what we're
doing is we're actually allowing these people to profit off
hard working Americans because that some six almost seven trillion

(17:30):
dollars that we spent in pandemic aid money. Oh, we're
paying for it in inflation, higher taxes, higher debt. And
now we're going to settle all of that debt on
our children, our grandchildren, our great grandchildren. God bless America. Right, Yeah, no,
wonder people want to come here, So Weekend with Michael Brown.
Stay tuned. I'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Tonight. Michael Brown joins me here, the former FEMA director
talk show host Michael Brown. No, Brownie, you're doing a
heck of a job. The Weekend with Michael Brown.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
Hey, welcome back to the Beacon with Michael Brown. Glad
to have you with me. Merry Christmas to everybody, Happy Honica,
and I hope you have a prosperous New Year and
a happy new Year for that matter. You know the
rules of engagement. If you want to send me a
text message, that's pretty easy to do. The number is
three three one zero three. Just starts your message with
the word Mike or Michael either one. Go follow me
on X. It's at Michael Brown, USA. So I think

(18:28):
I think it was Aurora, Colorado. There may be in
some other cities, but I think initially Trenda a Raqua,
the violent Venezuelan gang from Venezuelan prisons, first struck here.
They're worse than MS thirteen.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
There.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
They're they're animals, they're scum. And when the apartment complex
when we found the or were shown the video of
them basically extorting and beating up and committing all sorts
of crimes in these apartment complexes. The Governor of Colorado
I want to be president by then of Jared Polus

(19:10):
and the mayor of Aurora, Colorado, a former Republican congressman
by the named Mike Kaufman on the Governor's Democrat the
Mayor's Republican both came out and denied, Oh, Trump's overblowing this.
It's no big deal. There's nothing's happening. There's anything here
to see, you know, a virtual eyes. Don't look around
your you know your eyes are lying to you. Well,

(19:31):
this past week they arrested somewhere between sixteen and nineteen
of Venezuelans that the one of the local Ice agents
says appears to be associated with Trenda Ragua TDA, the
Venezuelan gang, and they were arrested because there have been
reports of torture, like stabbings and shootings and one woman

(19:53):
had her fingernails pulled off, you know, kind of mob,
you know, kind of a spy thriller. You know, let's
go torch room and get the word out, which sounds
like TDA, sounds like the Venezuelan gang. And of course
we had kind of a heyday with it here because hey,
you want to you want to retract your statements. We've

(20:15):
been trying to tell you it's serious, and now they're
all over the country now, federal agents in collaboration with
New York Police Department. Now let me say that sentence again.
New York agents federal agents in cooperation with New York PD.
So we got cooperation between the Feds and the state.

(20:38):
Have now apprehended a group that is associated with Trenda
Ragwood during a raid in the Bronx back on December
five at Crotona Park, an apartment building. It resulted in
the arrest of seven individuals, facilitated by the detection of
an ankle monitor worn by a key suspect, Jarwin Valero

(20:58):
called on a twenty eighth you're old. Venezuelan national Calderon's
monitoring device was crucial in leading the authorities to the hideout.
Now this crackdown is being reported as a significant step
against TDA, which has now infiltrated the country among waves
of asylum migrants asylum seeking illegal aliens from Venezuela since

(21:21):
twenty twenty two, which begs the question, I know I've
explained this before that people continually ask me why Venezuelans
because they have given Venezuelan Cubans and Haitians Temporary protected
status TPS, which means you can show up at the

(21:41):
border prove to do or just maybe not even proved.
Just say hey, I'm from Venezuela, and you immediately get
temporary protective status. Well, come on in, just come on
down here, here's a bus ticket, here's a plane ticket,
go somewhere.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
And so doesn't it no check? Are you remember TDA? No?

Speaker 3 (22:00):
No, they don't even ask the question. And then on
top of that, if you have temporary protective status, that
automatically gives you a work permunt so you can go
to work. So that's why they're targeting. The gang is
targeting people that live in these apartments because they know
they're working and they have the money to pay for
the apartment. So they've got some cash, so they can

(22:23):
extort the cash out of them by stabbing them, shooting,
and pulling their fingernails out. Good grief. The gang is
known for doing exactly that, and for recruiting not just robbing, extorting,
but for recruiting these publicly funded illegal alien shelters and
engaging in all those illegal activities you know, drugs, gangs,

(22:47):
human trafficking. They're doing all of that.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Now.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
Job Fabria Katour, who ran for Congress here in Colorado,
is a former ice agent. He's on air expressing concern
over the gang's growing influence and its expansion into all
these sanctuary cities around the country. Now sources are highlighting
multiple arrests, including Gil Cardozo, a twenty four year old,

(23:15):
and thirty year old Jesus Manuel Grenado. Both of those
individuals are linked to various offenses across different states, shoplifting,
grand larceny, handling, stolen property, all after they entered into
the country through El Paso. A nineteen year old No
these ages. They're all between the ages of nineteen and
twenty four. Angel Gabrielle Marquez Rodriguez. He's facing charges in

(23:41):
Chicago and New York following his September twenty twenty three
border crossing. Twenty one year old Fernando Franco Grimer ddous
associated with the gang well, he's disappeared after claiming persecution,
but was eventually ordered deported and so then he disappears.

(24:01):
The raid or I should say the raids to be
more accurate, are focusing attention on younger members the game,
particularly a subgroup known as the Oblows Day Law forty two,
noted for their activities in areas like Times Square and
federal officials have confirmed all of these detainees' links to

(24:24):
trend to Robin. So it's here and to think that
we are somehow giving them temporary protected status shows how
this truly is a self inflicted injury on the country.
It's we're committing mass suicide by allowing them in. Tom Holman.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
President Trump's borders are two big stories.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
From Colorado to here in New York where I am
CDA gang members arrested. Your reaction to it and really
your inside if you can about just how rapidly this dangerous,
violent Venezuelan gang is growing in the US.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Well, look, Jiff, you and I have talked about this
many times. It all goes back to the vetting program.
You know, you got Secretary of Mariorkissan. These people are
property vetted before the release the United States. But we
don't have access to criminal information in Venezuela. We don't
have we don't have criminal we don't have access to
criminal criminal databases and information in most countries around the world.
So when they say it property vetted, they're running into NCIC,

(25:33):
which is our system, our tripleized state system. But vetting
doesn't include their criminal histories in their home nations.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Do you get that?

Speaker 3 (25:43):
Did you get what he just said?

Speaker 2 (25:46):
Countries here on the world.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
So when they said it property vetted, they're running into NCIC,
which is our system, our tripleized state system.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
But vetting doesn't include their criminal histories in their home nations.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
So if you're a member of TBA, a trend or
log in Venezuela or any other countries for that matter,
are you have any other criminal record any other forum,
we're not vetting that. We're not checking it. Now in
many situations, we don't have a way to check it.
So if you don't have a way to check their
criminal history, why not just assumed in therefore you can't

(26:18):
come into the country, because if we can't do a
background check, you can't come in.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
Solves the problem, right, And so secondary of my organ
has been misleading the American people saying that property vetting
the people are safe.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
This is a clear example of it.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
And as you and I discussed before TDA, when we
first discover the United States, we said it's going to
rapidly expand across the country. The good news is you
got President Trump coming to an office in January twentieth.
TDA is unnoticed, and ICE offices across the country are
prepared to go out and target public safety threats. With TDA,
it's on top of that public safety threat. So there

(26:52):
are days are number I can't wait till we get
an administration take care of the care of these people,
because they're going to be arrested, they're going to be detained,
and they're going to remove I've been talking to several
different countries that Benzuela, don't take them back.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
We got other countries are stepping up say they will,
so they will be deported. They will be deported.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
I've heard some of the liberal news commentators talk about, oh,
Tom Holman's full of air because he's just the borders are.
He can't do anything. They're lying to you, you know,
as the president's border point person. Whenever Trump appoints the
Secretary of Homeland Security, Christina Homans, she gets confirmed, and

(27:33):
then they appoint the Director of ICE, Immigrations and Customers
Enforcement or the new Director of Customers and Border Patrol CBP,
Tom Holman will be the one. They will go to
the Secretary of Home and Security and those two directors
and say this is what the President wants done, and
I'm here to see that you do it. He's almost
like an enforcer. He will then go out into the

(27:57):
field and find out, Okay, are your manager doing what
headquarters has told you to do? Show me, prove it
to me. Because I report to the President. I don't
report to the Secretary of Homeland Security. I report to
the President. So tell me what you're doing. Show me
what you're doing, show me the metrics. How much are
you accomplishing is I'm gonna tell the Secretary of that,

(28:18):
and I'm gonna tell the President that. So he's going
to have enormous influence. He goes on to.

Speaker 4 (28:25):
Say the bust of the TDA gang members here in
New York, we've learned the law enforcement and combined joined
Federal Law Enforcement Task Force was able to identify this
apartment where they were hold up, specifically because one of
them had an ankle monitor and that assisted with them
getting on. Are you looking at ways that you can

(28:48):
enhance that and how will that work?

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Well, it's gonna be held a lot less ankle monitors,
or we're gonna lock them up. We're wanting for ankle
minors on people that we release. We're going to hand catch, release,
they're going to be the exceptions. Right, there's a health
issue that we can't care for them at the time.
So number one issue, we're gonna end catch release. There's
going to be a lot less that's going on, and
a second we're going to force the rules of those anklemanders. Look,

(29:14):
if you're in this country, even if you claim asylum,
these conditions of release and in committing a crime is
a Violation's condition being involve the gang activity activities a
violation and conditions. They can even if they're claiming asylum,
you can lock them back up into the detention because
they have the.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Violated the rules of release.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
So you know the lesson to take from this he's
now talking about. So maybe we can't change the asylum law,
but the rules still exists, and if you break the rules,
we can lock you back up. When that word starts
to spread among these illegal aliens, how many of them
will one stop committing crimes or two even stop trying

(29:54):
to come into the country. You see Trump's already having
in effect. Well maybe that's too because where's Waldo. You
know a guy named Joe Biden. I'll be right back. Hey,
welcome back to the Weekend with Michael Brown. I want
to do a quick story and then say something to you.

(30:15):
But in terms of not just his own body count,
but those of other dictators who have followed his lead,
Vladimir Lennon could probably be the evilest human being ever
to rise to power. And Lenin offers a lot of
insights into the strategy that the left has. For example,
he said, give me just one generation of youth and

(30:37):
I'll transfer the entire I'll transform the entire world. So
don't waste time trying to talk to adults into changing
decency and common sense for a nonsensical not to mention,
demonic ideology target to kids who don't know any better.
Then you can ingrain a viewpoint before it ever has

(30:58):
to withdraw scrutiny. And so for many generations now, the
youth in this country have been largely under the control
of the education, in the media establishments, the cabal, which
in turn are really controlled by fellow travelers of people
like Vladimir Lenin. And I know that sounds harsh, but
it's the truth. You know, there's an economist you gov

(31:22):
poll that would have Lenin. You know, I'm so happy
adults under thirty are more likely to view Luigi Mangiom
favorably than unfavorably by thirty nine to thirty percent, and
once Mangion's claim to fame shooting health insurance ceo in

(31:46):
the back simp before being the CEO of a health
insurance company. It's senseless, and yet people are celebrating it.
And I really find that kind of despicable, and that
is no outlier. A poll released by Emerson College, a
private university in Boston. Yet that poll determined that if

(32:07):
one thousand registered voters surveyed, forty one percent of them
between the ages of eighteen and twenty nine believed that
Thompson's murder was acceptable. So, like Lennon manngeone apparently murdered
just for the sake of murdering somebody, and that's earned
him a fan base, which I find so bizarre. So

(32:29):
they purp walked him after landing in Manhattan. They purp
walked him over to a detention center, and the Mayor
of New York, Eric Adams, was behind him, walking along,
as the Mayor says, trying to send a message that hey,
we're going to be in front of this and we're
going to see too that you get you know, prosecuted

(32:50):
properly and jailed and sentenced probably to life in prison
without parole. But the purp walk backfire because as it
became a rallying cry for these dumbass youth who support
what he did. The reason I point that particular story
out at the end of the program is, as we

(33:13):
know the holidays and you visit your children, your grandchildren,
or your own children, or whatever it might be, you
really need to stop and think about the generations that
have been brainwashed into thinking that this kind of thing
is okay, or that socialism socialism is the answer to everything.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
It's not.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
It's free markets, it's capitalism based on a moral code.
It's individual liberty and freedoms, the constitution, it's the basis.
It's the basis of this country's existence. And you, every
one of you goobers, have the ability to help turn
this ship estate around. And you prove that last November five.

(33:59):
But that was just the first battle. The other battles
are going to start occurring when we all come back
from our holiday, our vacation time, our kind of r
and R, our kind of getting re energized. You know,
I'll actually be back on their Saturday, January fourth, But

(34:22):
then I'll be back on their form my regular show
on January six. January six, Wow that anniversary, and then
fourteen days later January twentieth. So January is going to
be a fairly interesting month to be talking about and
to have you back in this audience again, because I

(34:43):
will be back. I'm just taking some time off because well,
I don't get to roll my vacation over, and quite frankly,
I'd like to get away and go see my granddaughter.
I'd like to run down to Scottsdale and spend a
few days there and then come back and maybe go
to our home in New Mexico, sit on the porch
and watch the deer and the elk and maybe occasionally

(35:04):
I don't know a mountain lion, but not get too clothes.
So I just want all of you to take the
time off Christmas, Honikah in New Year's and gird your
loins for the battle that's going to come.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
And I also want to.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
Say thank you. You know, when Premiere came to me
and said do you want to do this program? Of
course I jumped at it. This will be my nineteenth
year on radio, and this has always been a dream
to have a nationally syndicated program, and you've helped made it.
You have helped make it successful, and you don't know
how much I appreciate you doing things like checking out

(35:40):
the website, you know, sending me the text messages, following
me on x at Michael Brown USA. By the way,
doing all of those things means that you're engaged, and
because the numbers continue to grow, that means that you're
telling other people about it, and I really appreciate that.
I sincerely appreciate it. You know, I'm at the stage

(36:01):
where I could probably retire, but I have no intention
of retiring. I don't want to retire. I love what
I do. I'm so lucky in loving what I do
and living in one of the most fascinating times in
American history and getting to share my experiences inside that
monster called Washington, d C. With you six days a week.

(36:24):
So from the bottom of my heart, Merry Christmas, Happy Honkah,
Happy New Year, and a big giant thank you. I'll
see you next year.
