Friday out of Denver, and you get the weekend program too,
so you get all the Michael Browns you need. So
let's get started. Today is Saturday, February first, so it
is the start of Black History Month. Well, come on,
can I get some applause? I mean, considering that we're
you know, we're eliminating DEI, we're going back to a meritocracy,
(01:48):
We're doing all of that. I mean, I can't believe
that you guys aren't excited about, you know, Black History Month. Man,
I want to Now this is long and I'm gonna
have to break it up. But I stumbled across something
today that is from a a guy on X A
(02:08):
young black man on X who goes by the name
of Joker King, Joker King nine thirty seven, and a
friend of mine who's one of these bitcoin not jobs.
And I don't mean that pejoratively because I own a tiny,
tiny little bit of bitcoin. If I, you know, if
i'd done what people always like to talk about, well,
(02:29):
if i'd bought applestock back, you know, when it was
two dollars a share, I'd be a bazillionaire today. Well,
if i'd buy it rather than if and I don't
know how much I put in bitcoin, and it's been
years and years ago. I think it was maybe two
hundred dollars, maybe two hundred and fifty dollars. But if
i'd put say one thousand dollars, or i'd put maybe
five thousand dollars, yeah, i'd be I'd be a much
(02:51):
happy camper than I am today. But anyway, so one
of those guys retweeted this video and I thought it
was pretty appropriate for Black History Month. Now, I don't
agree with everything this guy says. Let me just say
that right up front. Now I've already listened to it,
so I know it's clean. This is a TikTok video.
(03:11):
That he's done, and let's see this at least on TikTok.
He goes by real Austin, Real Austin something. I can't
read it. I can't read what it says. I think
it's real Austin, Julio Austin's I don't know what to do.
(03:32):
I don't know, I don't know who cares. But I
want you to listen to this guy. This is how
we're going to celebrate Black History Month on the weekend
with Michael Brown.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
He reads at a fourth to fifth grade level. The
average high school graduate in this country reads at a
sixth raad level. But you mean to tell me that,
y'all want me to trust a leftist media that understands that.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
You mean to tell me you want me to trust
a media that understands that.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
All I got to do is pander and give a
good headline to low information voters.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
To low IQ people, and that's all we got to do.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You want me to trust the media that understands its
target audience. Most black people are not intelligent enough to
do research on their own.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
This ouch, he said that. Not a wait minute, he
said that. Not me. He's a young black man. I'm
an old white dude. I just thought it was interesting.
He wanted to point that out. There's some other things
on here that I don't necessarily agree with. I think
there's low information voters. I think there are headline readers.
I think they're drive by consumers of news. Term I
(04:30):
like to use that are everywhere all races. I mean,
it's an equal opportunity category. Everybody fits. Not everybody, but
a lot of people fit this category.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
It's exactly why y'all stop reading it headlines. This is
exactly why the leftist media banks on your stupidity to
get you to vote for them. This is what Kamala
harris manked on what do we know about voters ages
eighteen to twenty five?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
They are stupid, which goes to my point. I think
we under raise the vote age, not to twenty one,
but I think maybe twenty five, maybe thirty five, I
don't know. But you think about so eighteen year olds
and I know we send them off to war, and
you know, but we can't. It's amazing to me that
(05:14):
you gotta be twenty one to buy cigarette, you gotta
buy twenty one to be to buy alcohol. Some states
there was a there was a court case just this
week that overruled a state law, and I forget which
state it was. This said you had to be twenty
one to buy a gun, to buy a firearm, and
the court said, no, that's unconstitutional. So we send eighteen
(05:34):
year olds off to war. But you can't drink or
buy a gun, and you can't you know, you can't
smoke until you're twenty one.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I will.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I've always spend that little incongruent.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
The leftist media banks on your ignorance to pander to you.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
And that's true for everybody.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
This is why y'all have to I guarantee you most
black folks get y'all political awareness from shade room.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I guarantee you get it from spiritual word or shade room.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah. I had no idea who those are, no idea,
but apparently he does, and he thinks they pander to
black people.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Stop it, stop it.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Donald Trump is sent up here right now trying to
have a member of Congress introduce a bill to eliminate
tax on tips, tax on overtime, and eliminate the federal
income text, which will save Americans thousands of dollars per year.
But y'all ain gonna find y'all gonna find a problem
with Dad. Y'all gonna find something because Trump is doing it.
This is the thing I understand about most people, in
particular black folks. If you put a white Republican in
(06:33):
the fate, you put a right Republican face on the policy,
you'll find a problem with the policy. Barack Obama could
offer black folks the same thing. If Kamala Harris had
been office, she could offer black people the same thing
both of the Barack Obama, by the way, deported more
illegal immigrant criminals, more illegal immigrants period, three point five million,
more than Trump has at the present time.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Well, Trump's getting started, but giving time at.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
The time of the posting of this video. But when
Obama was doing it, well, everything's all right. When Obama
had his as under SAand of you, if you are
in the United States illegal, be prepared to be the poort,
he said that it's fine.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Trump says, we're going to get him the hell out
of here.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
We're gonna we're gonna conduct the greatest restoration of America
that we've seen. Trump says it in a much more
branch tone, much more direct tone.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Now you've got a.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Problem with him, This is why I hope the White
House approves my press past that I applied for, because
I would classify myself as a content creator.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I'd love to see him in the White House briefing room,
wouldn't you asking questions? Oh? Baby, not because of I
want to see him in the briefing room, Not because
I think he's going to be a jerk, but because
he's going to make all of the left wing, the
cabal members of the briefing room really uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
That delivers newsworthy content, covers current events. Y'all don't know
how to ask the right questions to these politicians.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
All you know how to do.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
My God, that's so true.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
It was read with the shade room feeds you with
spiritual word.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Feeds you what these white owned institutions, white backed institutions.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
They see that a nine. Wait, come on, white back institutions,
white owned institutions. Now you're being a little racist, be
you know, But I like the rest of the message.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
You know how to pander to these low information voters,
which is the vast majority of people that want to
vote for the left. But you want to call someone
like myself that has that that takes the time to read,
because I was a political science major that takes the
time to understand what it is that I'm looking at.
You want to have a problem with me voting for
Donald Trump, which I would.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I would.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I did it in twenty sixteen, I did it in
twenty twenty, and I did it in twenty twenty four.
You got a problem with me because I see past
the bs. I want to read the fine print. You
stop at the large print. I'm gonna read the fine print.
There is a true difference and someone that cares about
keeping the United States of America say first and foremost,
versus wanting to stick our nose in foreign wars. The
(08:48):
Biden administration sent five hundred billion dollars to Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Why wasn't that money redirected to effect to.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Impact the homelessness crisis within our own cities. Why wasn't
that money given to the combat injustices within the United States?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Why wasn't that.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Money redirected to fund and housing for poor people within
this country? See, that's the thing. That's another thing black
folks do that kills me. We love being the poster child,
the champion, the runners, the marchers.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
For everybody else except us.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I've seen more black people complaining about I llegal immigrants
than I have seen black folks complaining about black on
black crime.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I've seen more black people trying to fight for immigrants
than fighting for themselves.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Fight for your own damn families running around here worried
about what's going on with illegal immigrants that could kid
less than the damn about us.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Cut it out, wake up, smell the coffee, and cut
the bulls. You did, you did.
Speaker 1 (09:42):

Washington's birthday. Now we just have President's Day. Airbell take
a three day weekend and everybody in Colorado will go
skiing and it'll be it'll be nuts. Be here and
(10:26):
follow me on X formerly Twitter. It's at Michael Brown
USA at Michael Brown USA. Go get me a follow
right now. So this week you heard if you if,
unless you were living under a rock, you heard that
we had confirmation hearings. Let's see Lee Zelden got confirmed,
Marco Rubio's been confirmed, Pete Hagges has been concerned confirmed
(10:47):
at Defense, Christinome at Homeland Security. We've got a few
only see Ratcliffe at CIA, and I may be leaving
now some there's some others too. We're still waiting on
Bobby Kennedy Junior. We're still waiting on Tulca Gabbard. And
for some reason, there was somebody else I think that
we shouldn't be waiting on that we're waiting on. It'll
(11:11):
come to me in a minute. But the Bobby Kennedy
Junior hearings, we're fascinating. I find myself really amused. I
told friends at dinner last night that I'm amused at
how much I disagree with Bobby Kennedy about but I
(11:33):
am fascinated by how badly I want him to be
the Secretary of Human of Health and Human Services. Now,
I first got to know Bobby Kennedy Junior back after
nine to eleven. Those of that who live in the
New York area are familiar with the New York area
know that in Westchester County, just north of Manhattan, it
(11:56):
is the indian Point Nuclear power Plant that sits on
the Hudson River. And he had an organization at the
time called River Keepers, and they were all upset afraid
that oh my gosh, all kinda might flow, might fly
a seven fifty seven or a triple seven into they
didn't have seven eighty sevens at the time, that they
might fly a plane into the Indian Point Nuclear power
(12:17):
Plant and it'll there'll be a nuclear explosion and it'll
destroy New York and all, you know, blah blah blah
blah blah. And so we you know, we were like, no,
that's not true. So we we brought together the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, We brought together the the ICC, we brought
together DHS what the agents didn't exist at the time.
We brought together the CIA, We brought together the oh,
(12:42):
I can't remember the name of DARPA, the Defense Research Agency,
to do all these tests and modeling and everything else
to convince them that that's not true. And and in fact,
in a private meeting with then Senator Hillary Clinton, they
all agreed that, oh yeah, you know, we believe you
(13:03):
and your tests have convinced us otherwise. But and this
is Hillary Clinton, not Bobby Kennedy. Hillary Clinton said, but
I'm still going to oppose it publicly. Okay, Well, you know,
if you won't go out and lie to your constituents,
go out and lie to your constituents. But I'm going
to tell them the truth about the studies, and I'm
going to tell them the truth about what's going to
happen if we shut it down in your rates are
(13:24):
going to go be exorbitantly high. Well, Bobby Kennedy was
very rational about it, as was his organization, and you know,
they were very appreciative of all the studies. And Bobby
Kennedy has written what six different books. I haven't read.
I haven't read any of them. I've only read excerpts.
And I've read the excerpts where some of these politicians
(13:45):
claim that he said horrible things and other people who
said he said good things. But what I find fascinating
about all of it is how Bobby Kennedy's gone from
being a darling of the left to suddenly being eviscerated
by the left. And some of the exchanges were simply fascinating.
(14:09):
But regardless of what you've heard about Bobby Kennedy Junior,
I want you to listen to and maybe this is
the way the program's going to go today. I'll probably
have to break this up. But doctor Senator Ran Paul
of Kentucky dropped some truth bombs that just lit up.
(14:31):
Now he's a doctor. I think he's a doctor of ophthalmology.
He's a medical doctor. Senator Bill Cassidy from Louisiana, that
is the chairman of this committee is apparently or seems
to be opposed to Bobby Kennedy's And he seems to
be opposed to Bobby Kennedy because Bobby Kennedy has questions
(14:54):
about vaccines. Well, as I told friends last night, I
have questions about vaccines. Does not make me an anti vaxer. Now,
Bobby Kennedy may in some instances actually be an anti vaxxer. Well,
I'm an anti vaxxer in some instances. Even though I
begrudgingly took the Star's CoV two jab, I refuse to
(15:15):
call it a vaccine. I will never and have not
taken any boosters, and all my doctors have backed off
and said, no, do not take these boosters. And we
now learn that Pfizer, who is pushing this vaccine, this
job on us, never did any test things to see
if it prevented transmission. And now we know that that
(15:38):
shot the Star's CoV two, so called vaccine does not
prevent the transmission of SARS CoV two of COVID nineteen.
Well wait a minute, that means the so called settled
science wasn't settled, and isn't the idea to always question science.
(15:59):
So let's work our way through this conversation that Bobby
Kennedy had that Senator Paul has during the absolute grilling
of Bobby Kennedy. Now, other than Senator uh from Louisiana,
(16:20):
the Republicans were generally appeared to be in favor. And
I think he will a Cassidy. Senator Cassidy will ultimately
be confirmed. But the Bernie Sanders and Pocahontas Folksahannas, Senator
Warren from Massachusetts, Amy kolbysher Minnesota, and none of these
(16:41):
people are going to vote for him, no way. And
I think not because he may be anti vax or
he may be questioning some of the science, but because
they can't stand the idea that he left the reservation
and is trying to join the Trump administration.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Here's Senator Paul Scenes is so oversimplified and dumbed down
that we'd never really get to real truths. And it's
why people up here are so separated from real people
at home. So we talk about hepatitis B. It's a
terrible disease. It could lead to liver failures, the chairman said.
But the reason you have distrust from people at home,
why they don't believe anything you say, they don't believe
(17:19):
governed at all, is you're telling my kids that take
a heptized B vaccine when he's one day old. You
get it through drug use and sexually transmitted. That's how
you get hepatitis B. But you're telling me my kid
has to take it at one day old.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
That's not science.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
And so every person with a bit of common sense,
even people who don't resist vaccines. I vaccinated all my kids.
I believe vaccines are one of the modern miracles.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Beyond all text, don't forget follow me on x at
Michael Brown USA. I'll be right back tonight.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
Michael Brown joins me here, the former FEMA director of
talk show host Michael Brown. Rownie, no, Brownie, You're doing
a heck of a job the Weekend with Michael Brown.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Hey, welcome to the Weekend with Michael Brown. Glad to
have you with me. I appreciate you tuning in. You
sure remember if you gonna send me a text message,
the number is three three one zero three. Start your
message with the word Mike or Michael, either one of those.
Tell me anything or ask me anything, and don't forget
follow me on X. It's at Michael Brown USA. You'll
have a fun time. Trust me, you'll have a fun time.
Follow me on X at Michael Brown USA. So cash btel,
(18:28):
thank you. I couldn't We don't have cash btel confirmed
yet either. By the way, let me just mention something
that really ticks me off. Now. Obviously, I work six
days a week, and I'm not patting myself on the back.
I just want to point out the perspective that I
work six days a week and I'm happy to do
so because I love what I do and I get paid.
(18:49):
I shouldn't say that because I don't want my heart
or anybody to hear me. But I think I get
paid fairly well for what I do, but don't tell
them that. And I love my job. I I don't
work for a living. I get to come into these
studios six days a week and have a blast with
my audience. That would blast with you guys, and talk
about some amazing things and some sad and interesting things,
(19:12):
and some funny things and some stupid things. But many
of you also work six seven days a week. Some
of you maybe are on call, you're filling in for
somebody else. Maybe you work extra hours because you need to,
maybe work extra hours because your boss told you to.
Maybe you know people got laid off and now you're
doing the job of two people. On Friday, the United
(19:34):
States Senate, who is controlled by Republicans, who has yet
to confirm all of Trump's cabinet nominees, took off Friday
and will not reconvene until at least three pm on Monday. Now,
the dirty little secret about three pm is so that
everybody has time to oh, not fly in on Sunday. No,
(19:57):
don't fly in on Sunday, so you can start working
at eight o'clock, but fly in on Monday. Just sleep
in Monday morning, you know, go out to dinner Sunday
night with your family, have some drinks, do whatever, and
then go to the airport on Monday and fly in
in time so you can convene on Monday afternoon at
three o'clock. They don't work as hard as they want
(20:22):
you to believe. They barely work. And I know, quite frankly,
I'm conflicted by this because part of me says that
most of the time I'd rather them not be working,
because every time they do something, they f up the economy,
they f up our lives, they impose more regulations, they
do all sorts of horrible things. So I'd rather you
(20:43):
just go away. But right now, you've got a job
to do. And Senator Soon the majority leader a Republican
by the way, see North Dakota, South Dakota. I don't know,
and I don't care, But why did you take a break.
I thought I heard you say one time that, oh,
(21:03):
we're gonna work night and day to get these cabinet
members confirmed. Now I know before you know, before he before,
of course he's not going to respond, but before somebody
responds on his behalf. I understand the Democrats can do
things like they can make all sort of parliamentary moves,
procedural rules, they can invoke the thirty hour debate rule.
They can do all sorts of things. But that doesn't
(21:24):
mean you can't be working on others at the same time.
Can you not have hearings on the others while you're
going through the debate on the Come on, you can't
walk into your gun at the same time. Are you
what are you? Joe Biden? Again? Good grief, Get off
your asses and go to work. So sick of these people.
(21:44):
Back to Rand Paul. So so Rand Paul is like
speaking of hepatitis bee now I don't know again. Talking
to a friend of mine last night at dinner, I
was describing about the hepictidie hepatitis B vaccine and she
agreed with me that, you know, giving it to a
newborn is probably the wrong thing to do unless we
(22:05):
know that the mother is infected with hepatitis B. And
if mother's not and there are no markers, you know,
do a blood test, to a blood check, do whatever
you need to do, then maybe you don't need to
give the hepatized B vaccine. But what do we do.
We do something like anywhere from seventeen to seventy six
vaccines on a newborn. Think about that, a baby is
(22:28):
just born and those cells are rapidly dividing and multiplying.
The brain is still forming, the bones and the skin
and the muscle and the hearts and the lungs and
everything are just beginning to function outside the womb. And
suddenly we're gonna take and let's just take the low
end seventeen vaccinese vaccinations. We're just gonna shoot that newborn
(22:50):
baby up with seventeen vaccines all at the same time.
And just think that. I mean, what's the vaccine supposed
to do. A vaccine is suppose to start the body
to have a reaction in order to build up immunity
to whatever disease it is you're trying to prevent. So
a body that's just a baby that's just been born,
(23:13):
a newborn, you're gonna suddenly cause its system to start
reacting to seventeen or fifty or seventy, whatever the numbers.
I don't care. Over a short period of time, no
spread them out. But we've been taught you can't question that.
You can't question it, and doctor Paul points out Senator
(23:36):
Paul does, how absurd this is.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Hell.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
The Speckled Monster is a great book about the introduction
of the smallpox vaccine in seventeen twenty into our country.
All miracles, but I'm not a one size fits all.
It's not all or nothing. I chose to wait on
my hepatitis B vaccine and we did it when they
went to schools.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
That made me an awful person?
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Does that make me an anti vaxxer because I questioned
the government dictative whether I do it, And I'm not
speaking for anybody else.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
I'm only speaking for myself.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
But for goodness sakes, let's have an honest debate about
these things.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
The COVID vaccine.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
If you ask me my opinion, there are reporters are
uping down the sall and they say you still anti vaccine. No,
I'm pro vaccine. But on the COVID vaccine and on
the covid illness, there was a thousandfold or more difference
between the elderly and children. If you don't acknowledge that
you're committing malpractice, you're showing your ignorance. If you say
a six month old must be mandated to get it.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
The science is not there.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
So all this blather about the science says this, and
the science says that no it doesn't. The science actually
shows it. No healthy child in America died from COVID.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Look it up.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
No healthy child died from COVID. And so the thing
is is that it's a thousandfold greater. So if you
ask me my advice as a physician, if you were
sixty five or older, or overweight and some other conditions,
I would have said, hell, yes, I'd take the COVID vaccine.
The risk of the disease were real and much greater
than the vaccine. But if you ask me, should my
healthy six month old get it? See, these are the
(25:06):
nuances you're unwilling to talk about because there's such a
belief in submission. Submit to the government, do what you're told.
There is no discussion. There ought to be a debate.
You're not going to let him have the debate because
you're just going to criticize and say it is this
and admit to it, or we're not going to appoint you.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
But it's more complicated than that, and.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
This is why people distrust government, because you're unwilling to
have these conversations, and I go home, ask your Democrat
young mothers, your Republican young mothers if they're vaccinating their
kid for appetitis being They're like, well, do I have
to do it on day one? Is this precious little baby?
Is there science to say you shouldn't do it? Probably not,
but it's my kid, you know. It's like, there isn't
(25:45):
clear cut science saying not to. But on autism, there's
no good science of anything to show what causes autism.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
We don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
It's a profound disease. I know many moms here and
dads who have kids with autis. I know them personally,
I've met their kids. But the thing is is they
saw their kids developing completely normal, maybe speaking one hundred words,
go to no words at about fifteen months of age.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Now, there isn't proof. There isn't proof that the vaccines
cause it. That's true.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
There isn't proof that it calls it. But we don't
know what causes it yet. So shouldn't we be at
least open minded. We takes seventy two vaccines.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
Could it be? I don't know, But we shouldn't.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
Just close the door and say we're no longer because
we believe so much in submission.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
We're not going to have an open mind to study
these things.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
And so it's sort of this crazy notion schizophrenia I
would put in the same notion. You have a kid
who's completely normal to eighteen or nineteen and their brain
goes heywire.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
How does that happen?
Speaker 5 (26:39):
It's the most bizarre disease. Shouldn't we be open Could
it be our food?
Speaker 3 (26:44):
It might be vaccines, it might be our food.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
But autism is more common.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
I don't know about the schizophrenia statistics, but autisms more common.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Should we want to be open minded? Instead?
Speaker 5 (26:53):
We're so closed minded and we're so consensus driven that
the science says this.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Well, science doesn't say anything.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Science is a dispute, and ten years from now we
could all be wrong.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
We were think how many times we've been told don't
eat this, and then suddenly you know, ten twenty years later,
oh you should be eating that, or vice versa. It's
always that the science should be questioned. And I don't
care where that science is from an individual, or from
the government, or from anybody else. But if you understand
(27:28):
what I mean about just how stupid some of these
people are here's a senator. This is Senator Hassan. I
have no idea where she's from. Maybe she's going to
hear us senators. But here she is yelling that the
science can be wrong, but we should not question the
science because the science is settled, which perfectly sums up
(27:52):
the absurdity of what we were dealing with during COVID
and what they're in the position they're putting. Bobby Kennedy
Junior in, Yeah, the science is settled, you can't question it.
Yet the science can be wrong. Listen to her. This
woman's an idiot. She's completely oblivious to how stupid she sounds.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Because sometimes science is wrong.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
We make progress, we build on the work, and we've
become more successful.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
And when you continue to so doubt about settled science.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Oh wait a minute, let's back up. Let's just make
sure we understand what she said. Here, are you ready?
Here we go turn your brains.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
On because sometimes science is wrong.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Okay, so sometimes science is wrong. So what do we do?
Speaker 6 (28:40):
We make progress?
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Oh, we make progress. We do further testing, We do
further experiments. We put a new hypothesis out and we
test the hypothesis, and we keep moving and science keeps evolving,
which is why someday something's bad for you, in twenty
years later, it's good for your vice versa.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
So then she goes on, we build on the work.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
We build on the work. Science is always evolving. We
build and we build and we build.
Speaker 7 (29:07):
And we've become more successful. And when you continue to
so doubt about settled science, Wait.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
A minute, now, I'm really curious. So what's the definition
of settled science?
Speaker 6 (29:19):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
I think I know. It's when this dumbass tells us
that it is when a government official tells you the
science is settled. Really that goes against you. Know. I
wasn't very good. I mean I was okay in biology,
and but when it came to chemistry and some of
the stuff, I really wasn't very good. But I do
(29:41):
remember being taught that, you know, failing in science is
the door to success. You know, if you ask Michael
Jordan how many free throws he missed, how many shots
he missed, how many fouls he committed, and he listened
all of those out, you would think he was the
(30:01):
biggest loser in basket in professional basketball ever. But that's
just looking at all the mistakes. You need to look
at the successes too. These people are absolutely out of
their mind. I'll be right back. Hey, So we came
(30:21):
with Michael Brown, and I'm glad to have you with me.
If you us send me a text message, it's easy
to do and your message app the numbers is three
three one zero three three three one zero three. Starts
your message with either Mike or Michael. Tell me anything
or ask me anything? Three three one zero three, don't
forget follow me on X. It's at Michael Brown USA,
at Michael Brown USA. So back to brand Paul because
(30:43):
the doctor makes some great points here. And I think
this is why one reason why I think the Make
America Healthy Again movement has really caught fire. It's a
wildfire spreading like crazy because people recognize that, yeah, we
really are a sick nation, and a lot of that
sickness is driven by government.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
We're told in the beginning, twenty years ago, they did
this enormous study and they said everybody over fifty should
take an aspirin. I thought, well, it's a pretty good idea,
this makes sense. But you know what, twenty years later
they measured it and they found if you had no
heart disease and you were taking asper, your chance of
dying from a brain bleed or from a stomach bleed
were greater than the risk of heart disease.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
You have heart disease.
Speaker 5 (31:24):
They still say take an aspirin if you don't have
changed your mind twenty years later. But would you have
all said I was crazy and I should no longer
be in public discourse if I had said twenty years ago,
I don't feel like taking an asper. I ride my
bike all the time. I'm afraid I might hit my head.
But that's what country is about, is what this sentence about.
So just to ask you to look at the larger
picture and give the guy break who says I just
(31:46):
want to follow the science where it leads without presupposition.
I think, really what we have up here is presupposition.
You've already concluded it's absolute that autism isn't caused by
we don't know what causes autism, So we should be
more humble than what we say.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Boom, and he delivers the knockout punch. I think there's
something buried in this that is emblematic of a problem
in our society as a whole, and that is, in fact,
it ties back to that young black Man at the
(32:22):
very beginning of the program about people that don't think critically,
that are just headline readers that don't read the story,
or to his point, he reads the fine print, and
all you read is the big print. Too many people
fail to really think for themselves. And I think many
(32:42):
people are afraid to think for themselves because we have
so capitulated all of our autonomy, all of our individualism,
over to the government. And so if the government decrees
that we shall do X and x's best you, we
all bow down and say, oh yes, oh holy Government, Yes,
(33:03):
we'll do whatever you tell us to do. Now again,
I'm not preaching anarchy, but what they're doing is they're
silencing descent. They're telling you that if you dare dissent,
then we'll come for you. If you dare a descent,
you're the troublemaker. You know. The most powerful thing that
(33:29):
I think a person can do, well, maybe the second
most powerful, because I think the most powerful thing a
person can do is actually just stop, shut up and
just listen to what somebody has to say, and then
question is to just question. You know, I'm fortunate enough
to have been brought up in an era or maybe
in just maybe it's just my public school upbringing where
(33:50):
I just happened to have good teachers. Maybe I got
the luck of the draw where I was taught. You
need to question these things, and even the teachers would ask,
you know, not do you agree with this, but do
you agree or disagree with something? Oh, you disagree with
what I just said? Explain to explain to the class why.
(34:12):
And of course then I had either the benefit or
the detriment of having gone to law school where you
were taught. Yes, if you have a case, you need
to be able to argue both sides of that case,
because you need to understand what your opposition is going
to be arguing so that you can counter it. And
I just don't think that's even an acceptable way of
(34:35):
thinking in this country anymore. So somebody like Bobby Kennedy
steps up, and yes, he's been pretty radical, and he's
been pretty far out there on some of his positions,
but you know what, wouldn't you rather have someone in
charge of other than dd HHS is probably the largest
and most influential bureaucracy inside the BELTWAGH. It's got the
(34:58):
National Institute of Health, it's got the FDA, well, FDA
actually stands lone and on its own. It's got the
National Institutes for Allergies and Infectious Diseases, which was headed
by doctor Fauci. It gives away billions of dollars a
year in grants for research, and of course people do
(35:19):
people base their research based on the source of their
grant or do they really do objective research? I don't know,
you'd have to go ask the researchers. But we just
capitulate for whatever reason. We just capitulate to the government,
and or we just capitulate to the media, to the cabal.
Oh well, it was on the evening news, so therefore
(35:41):
it must be true. So Bobby Kennedy comes along as
a Democrat, as a pretty standard typical old school liberal Democrat,
and wants to this country to just be healthy again.
If you don't think that's a problem in our society,
(36:03):
go look at where we rank in terms of the
dollars spent on healthcare versus our outcomes on healthcare. Go
look at where we rank worldwide in terms of just
being a healthy nation, or where we rank in terms
of obesity or heart disease, or cancer or autism or
anything else compared to the rest of the world. Ask
(36:27):
yourself why it is that the French and the Italian
are able to eat all that pasta and all that
rich food and everything else, and yet their lifestyles, you
would think they would all be obese, and yet they're not.
There's something wrong and Bobby Kennedy wants to fix it.
It's the Weekend with Michael Brown. Thanks for joining in,

Friday out of Denver, and you get the weekend program too,
so you get all the Michael Browns you need. So
let's get started. Today is Saturday, February first, so it
is the start of Black History Month. Well, come on,
can I get some applause? I mean, considering that we're
you know, we're eliminating DEI, we're going back to a meritocracy,
(01:48):
We're doing all of that. I mean, I can't believe
that you guys aren't excited about, you know, Black History Month. Man,
I want to Now this is long and I'm gonna
have to break it up. But I stumbled across something
today that is from a a guy on X A
(02:08):
young black man on X who goes by the name
of Joker King, Joker King nine thirty seven, and a
friend of mine who's one of these bitcoin not jobs.
And I don't mean that pejoratively because I own a tiny,
tiny little bit of bitcoin. If I, you know, if
i'd done what people always like to talk about, well,
(02:29):
if i'd bought applestock back, you know, when it was
two dollars a share, I'd be a bazillionaire today. Well,
if i'd buy it rather than if and I don't
know how much I put in bitcoin, and it's been
years and years ago. I think it was maybe two
hundred dollars, maybe two hundred and fifty dollars. But if
i'd put say one thousand dollars, or i'd put maybe
five thousand dollars, yeah, i'd be I'd be a much
(02:51):
happy camper than I am today. But anyway, so one
of those guys retweeted this video and I thought it
was pretty appropriate for Black History Month. Now, I don't
agree with everything this guy says. Let me just say
that right up front. Now I've already listened to it,
so I know it's clean. This is a TikTok video.
(03:11):
That he's done, and let's see this at least on TikTok.
He goes by real Austin, Real Austin something. I can't
read it. I can't read what it says. I think
it's real Austin, Julio Austin's I don't know what to do.
(03:32):
I don't know, I don't know who cares. But I
want you to listen to this guy. This is how
we're going to celebrate Black History Month on the weekend
with Michael Brown.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
He reads at a fourth to fifth grade level. The
average high school graduate in this country reads at a
sixth raad level. But you mean to tell me that,
y'all want me to trust a leftist media that understands that.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
You mean to tell me you want me to trust
a media that understands that.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
All I got to do is pander and give a
good headline to low information voters.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
To low IQ people, and that's all we got to do.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You want me to trust the media that understands its
target audience. Most black people are not intelligent enough to
do research on their own.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
This ouch, he said that. Not a wait minute, he
said that. Not me. He's a young black man. I'm
an old white dude. I just thought it was interesting.
He wanted to point that out. There's some other things
on here that I don't necessarily agree with. I think
there's low information voters. I think there are headline readers.
I think they're drive by consumers of news. Term I
(04:30):
like to use that are everywhere all races. I mean,
it's an equal opportunity category. Everybody fits. Not everybody, but
a lot of people fit this category.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
It's exactly why y'all stop reading it headlines. This is
exactly why the leftist media banks on your stupidity to
get you to vote for them. This is what Kamala
harris manked on what do we know about voters ages
eighteen to twenty five?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
They are stupid, which goes to my point. I think
we under raise the vote age, not to twenty one,
but I think maybe twenty five, maybe thirty five, I
don't know. But you think about so eighteen year olds
and I know we send them off to war, and
you know, but we can't. It's amazing to me that
(05:14):
you gotta be twenty one to buy cigarette, you gotta
buy twenty one to be to buy alcohol. Some states
there was a there was a court case just this
week that overruled a state law, and I forget which
state it was. This said you had to be twenty
one to buy a gun, to buy a firearm, and
the court said, no, that's unconstitutional. So we send eighteen
(05:34):
year olds off to war. But you can't drink or
buy a gun, and you can't you know, you can't
smoke until you're twenty one.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I will.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I've always spend that little incongruent.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
The leftist media banks on your ignorance to pander to you.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
And that's true for everybody.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
This is why y'all have to I guarantee you most
black folks get y'all political awareness from shade room.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I guarantee you get it from spiritual word or shade room.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah. I had no idea who those are, no idea,
but apparently he does, and he thinks they pander to
black people.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Stop it, stop it.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Donald Trump is sent up here right now trying to
have a member of Congress introduce a bill to eliminate
tax on tips, tax on overtime, and eliminate the federal
income text, which will save Americans thousands of dollars per year.
But y'all ain gonna find y'all gonna find a problem
with Dad. Y'all gonna find something because Trump is doing it.
This is the thing I understand about most people, in
particular black folks. If you put a white Republican in
(06:33):
the fate, you put a right Republican face on the policy,
you'll find a problem with the policy. Barack Obama could
offer black folks the same thing. If Kamala Harris had
been office, she could offer black people the same thing
both of the Barack Obama, by the way, deported more
illegal immigrant criminals, more illegal immigrants period, three point five million,
more than Trump has at the present time.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Well, Trump's getting started, but giving time at.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
The time of the posting of this video. But when
Obama was doing it, well, everything's all right. When Obama
had his as under SAand of you, if you are
in the United States illegal, be prepared to be the poort,
he said that it's fine.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Trump says, we're going to get him the hell out
of here.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
We're gonna we're gonna conduct the greatest restoration of America
that we've seen. Trump says it in a much more
branch tone, much more direct tone.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Now you've got a.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Problem with him, This is why I hope the White
House approves my press past that I applied for, because
I would classify myself as a content creator.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I'd love to see him in the White House briefing room,
wouldn't you asking questions? Oh? Baby, not because of I
want to see him in the briefing room, Not because
I think he's going to be a jerk, but because
he's going to make all of the left wing, the
cabal members of the briefing room really uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
That delivers newsworthy content, covers current events. Y'all don't know
how to ask the right questions to these politicians.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
All you know how to do.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
My God, that's so true.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
It was read with the shade room feeds you with
spiritual word.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Feeds you what these white owned institutions, white backed institutions.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
They see that a nine. Wait, come on, white back institutions,
white owned institutions. Now you're being a little racist, be
you know, But I like the rest of the message.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
You know how to pander to these low information voters,
which is the vast majority of people that want to
vote for the left. But you want to call someone
like myself that has that that takes the time to read,
because I was a political science major that takes the
time to understand what it is that I'm looking at.
You want to have a problem with me voting for
Donald Trump, which I would.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I would.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I did it in twenty sixteen, I did it in
twenty twenty, and I did it in twenty twenty four.
You got a problem with me because I see past
the bs. I want to read the fine print. You
stop at the large print. I'm gonna read the fine print.
There is a true difference and someone that cares about
keeping the United States of America say first and foremost,
versus wanting to stick our nose in foreign wars. The
(08:48):
Biden administration sent five hundred billion dollars to Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Why wasn't that money redirected to effect to.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Impact the homelessness crisis within our own cities. Why wasn't
that money given to the combat injustices within the United States?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Why wasn't that.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Money redirected to fund and housing for poor people within
this country? See, that's the thing. That's another thing black
folks do that kills me. We love being the poster child,
the champion, the runners, the marchers.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
For everybody else except us.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I've seen more black people complaining about I llegal immigrants
than I have seen black folks complaining about black on
black crime.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I've seen more black people trying to fight for immigrants
than fighting for themselves.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Fight for your own damn families running around here worried
about what's going on with illegal immigrants that could kid
less than the damn about us.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Cut it out, wake up, smell the coffee, and cut
the bulls. You did, you did.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Hey, it's the weekend with Michael Brown. Happy Black History Month.
Be sure and follow me on X. It's at Michael
Brown ussay. At Michael Brown ussay. I'll be right back. Hey,
welcome back to the Weekend with Michael Brown. Happy Black
History Month everybody. And tomorrow happy Groundhog Day. So we
(10:05):
have an entire month of Black History Month, and then
what on the seventeenth or sometime about midmonth, we'll have
one day for President's Day. Yeah, so we combined Lincoln
and Washington. Remember, just to have Lincoln's birthday, we'd have
Washington's birthday. Now we just have President's Day. Airbell take
a three day weekend and everybody in Colorado will go
skiing and it'll be it'll be nuts. Be here and
(10:26):
follow me on X formerly Twitter. It's at Michael Brown
USA at Michael Brown USA. Go get me a follow
right now. So this week you heard if you if,
unless you were living under a rock, you heard that
we had confirmation hearings. Let's see Lee Zelden got confirmed,
Marco Rubio's been confirmed, Pete Hagges has been concerned confirmed
(10:47):
at Defense, Christinome at Homeland Security. We've got a few
only see Ratcliffe at CIA, and I may be leaving
now some there's some others too. We're still waiting on
Bobby Kennedy Junior. We're still waiting on Tulca Gabbard. And
for some reason, there was somebody else I think that
we shouldn't be waiting on that we're waiting on. It'll
(11:11):
come to me in a minute. But the Bobby Kennedy
Junior hearings, we're fascinating. I find myself really amused. I
told friends at dinner last night that I'm amused at
how much I disagree with Bobby Kennedy about but I
(11:33):
am fascinated by how badly I want him to be
the Secretary of Human of Health and Human Services. Now,
I first got to know Bobby Kennedy Junior back after
nine to eleven. Those of that who live in the
New York area are familiar with the New York area
know that in Westchester County, just north of Manhattan, it
(11:56):
is the indian Point Nuclear power Plant that sits on
the Hudson River. And he had an organization at the
time called River Keepers, and they were all upset afraid
that oh my gosh, all kinda might flow, might fly
a seven fifty seven or a triple seven into they
didn't have seven eighty sevens at the time, that they
might fly a plane into the Indian Point Nuclear power
(12:17):
Plant and it'll there'll be a nuclear explosion and it'll
destroy New York and all, you know, blah blah blah
blah blah. And so we you know, we were like, no,
that's not true. So we we brought together the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, We brought together the the ICC, we brought
together DHS what the agents didn't exist at the time.
We brought together the CIA, We brought together the oh,
(12:42):
I can't remember the name of DARPA, the Defense Research Agency,
to do all these tests and modeling and everything else
to convince them that that's not true. And and in fact,
in a private meeting with then Senator Hillary Clinton, they
all agreed that, oh yeah, you know, we believe you
(13:03):
and your tests have convinced us otherwise. But and this
is Hillary Clinton, not Bobby Kennedy. Hillary Clinton said, but
I'm still going to oppose it publicly. Okay, Well, you know,
if you won't go out and lie to your constituents,
go out and lie to your constituents. But I'm going
to tell them the truth about the studies, and I'm
going to tell them the truth about what's going to
happen if we shut it down in your rates are
(13:24):
going to go be exorbitantly high. Well, Bobby Kennedy was
very rational about it, as was his organization, and you know,
they were very appreciative of all the studies. And Bobby
Kennedy has written what six different books. I haven't read.
I haven't read any of them. I've only read excerpts.
And I've read the excerpts where some of these politicians
(13:45):
claim that he said horrible things and other people who
said he said good things. But what I find fascinating
about all of it is how Bobby Kennedy's gone from
being a darling of the left to suddenly being eviscerated
by the left. And some of the exchanges were simply fascinating.
(14:09):
But regardless of what you've heard about Bobby Kennedy Junior,
I want you to listen to and maybe this is
the way the program's going to go today. I'll probably
have to break this up. But doctor Senator Ran Paul
of Kentucky dropped some truth bombs that just lit up.
(14:31):
Now he's a doctor. I think he's a doctor of ophthalmology.
He's a medical doctor. Senator Bill Cassidy from Louisiana, that
is the chairman of this committee is apparently or seems
to be opposed to Bobby Kennedy's And he seems to
be opposed to Bobby Kennedy because Bobby Kennedy has questions
(14:54):
about vaccines. Well, as I told friends last night, I
have questions about vaccines. Does not make me an anti vaxer. Now,
Bobby Kennedy may in some instances actually be an anti vaxxer. Well,
I'm an anti vaxxer in some instances. Even though I
begrudgingly took the Star's CoV two jab, I refuse to
(15:15):
call it a vaccine. I will never and have not
taken any boosters, and all my doctors have backed off
and said, no, do not take these boosters. And we
now learn that Pfizer, who is pushing this vaccine, this
job on us, never did any test things to see
if it prevented transmission. And now we know that that
(15:38):
shot the Star's CoV two, so called vaccine does not
prevent the transmission of SARS CoV two of COVID nineteen.
Well wait a minute, that means the so called settled
science wasn't settled, and isn't the idea to always question science.
(15:59):
So let's work our way through this conversation that Bobby
Kennedy had that Senator Paul has during the absolute grilling
of Bobby Kennedy. Now, other than Senator uh from Louisiana,
(16:20):
the Republicans were generally appeared to be in favor. And
I think he will a Cassidy. Senator Cassidy will ultimately
be confirmed. But the Bernie Sanders and Pocahontas Folksahannas, Senator
Warren from Massachusetts, Amy kolbysher Minnesota, and none of these
(16:41):
people are going to vote for him, no way. And
I think not because he may be anti vax or
he may be questioning some of the science, but because
they can't stand the idea that he left the reservation
and is trying to join the Trump administration.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Here's Senator Paul Scenes is so oversimplified and dumbed down
that we'd never really get to real truths. And it's
why people up here are so separated from real people
at home. So we talk about hepatitis B. It's a
terrible disease. It could lead to liver failures, the chairman said.
But the reason you have distrust from people at home,
why they don't believe anything you say, they don't believe
(17:19):
governed at all, is you're telling my kids that take
a heptized B vaccine when he's one day old. You
get it through drug use and sexually transmitted. That's how
you get hepatitis B. But you're telling me my kid
has to take it at one day old.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
That's not science.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
And so every person with a bit of common sense,
even people who don't resist vaccines. I vaccinated all my kids.
I believe vaccines are one of the modern miracles.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Beyond all text, don't forget follow me on x at
Michael Brown USA. I'll be right back tonight.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
Michael Brown joins me here, the former FEMA director of
talk show host Michael Brown. Rownie, no, Brownie, You're doing
a heck of a job the Weekend with Michael Brown.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Hey, welcome to the Weekend with Michael Brown. Glad to
have you with me. I appreciate you tuning in. You
sure remember if you gonna send me a text message,
the number is three three one zero three. Start your
message with the word Mike or Michael, either one of those.
Tell me anything or ask me anything, and don't forget
follow me on X. It's at Michael Brown USA. You'll
have a fun time. Trust me, you'll have a fun time.
Follow me on X at Michael Brown USA. So cash btel,
(18:28):
thank you. I couldn't We don't have cash btel confirmed
yet either. By the way, let me just mention something
that really ticks me off. Now. Obviously, I work six
days a week, and I'm not patting myself on the back.
I just want to point out the perspective that I
work six days a week and I'm happy to do
so because I love what I do and I get paid.
(18:49):
I shouldn't say that because I don't want my heart
or anybody to hear me. But I think I get
paid fairly well for what I do, but don't tell
them that. And I love my job. I I don't
work for a living. I get to come into these
studios six days a week and have a blast with
my audience. That would blast with you guys, and talk
about some amazing things and some sad and interesting things,
(19:12):
and some funny things and some stupid things. But many
of you also work six seven days a week. Some
of you maybe are on call, you're filling in for
somebody else. Maybe you work extra hours because you need to,
maybe work extra hours because your boss told you to.
Maybe you know people got laid off and now you're
doing the job of two people. On Friday, the United
(19:34):
States Senate, who is controlled by Republicans, who has yet
to confirm all of Trump's cabinet nominees, took off Friday
and will not reconvene until at least three pm on Monday. Now,
the dirty little secret about three pm is so that
everybody has time to oh, not fly in on Sunday. No,
(19:57):
don't fly in on Sunday, so you can start working
at eight o'clock, but fly in on Monday. Just sleep
in Monday morning, you know, go out to dinner Sunday
night with your family, have some drinks, do whatever, and
then go to the airport on Monday and fly in
in time so you can convene on Monday afternoon at
three o'clock. They don't work as hard as they want
(20:22):
you to believe. They barely work. And I know, quite frankly,
I'm conflicted by this because part of me says that
most of the time I'd rather them not be working,
because every time they do something, they f up the economy,
they f up our lives, they impose more regulations, they
do all sorts of horrible things. So I'd rather you
(20:43):
just go away. But right now, you've got a job
to do. And Senator Soon the majority leader a Republican
by the way, see North Dakota, South Dakota. I don't know,
and I don't care, But why did you take a break.
I thought I heard you say one time that, oh,
(21:03):
we're gonna work night and day to get these cabinet
members confirmed. Now I know before you know, before he before,
of course he's not going to respond, but before somebody
responds on his behalf. I understand the Democrats can do
things like they can make all sort of parliamentary moves,
procedural rules, they can invoke the thirty hour debate rule.
They can do all sorts of things. But that doesn't
(21:24):
mean you can't be working on others at the same time.
Can you not have hearings on the others while you're
going through the debate on the Come on, you can't
walk into your gun at the same time. Are you
what are you? Joe Biden? Again? Good grief, Get off
your asses and go to work. So sick of these people.
(21:44):
Back to Rand Paul. So so Rand Paul is like
speaking of hepatitis bee now I don't know again. Talking
to a friend of mine last night at dinner, I
was describing about the hepictidie hepatitis B vaccine and she
agreed with me that, you know, giving it to a
newborn is probably the wrong thing to do unless we
(22:05):
know that the mother is infected with hepatitis B. And
if mother's not and there are no markers, you know,
do a blood test, to a blood check, do whatever
you need to do, then maybe you don't need to
give the hepatized B vaccine. But what do we do.
We do something like anywhere from seventeen to seventy six
vaccines on a newborn. Think about that, a baby is
(22:28):
just born and those cells are rapidly dividing and multiplying.
The brain is still forming, the bones and the skin
and the muscle and the hearts and the lungs and
everything are just beginning to function outside the womb. And
suddenly we're gonna take and let's just take the low
end seventeen vaccinese vaccinations. We're just gonna shoot that newborn
(22:50):
baby up with seventeen vaccines all at the same time.
And just think that. I mean, what's the vaccine supposed
to do. A vaccine is suppose to start the body
to have a reaction in order to build up immunity
to whatever disease it is you're trying to prevent. So
a body that's just a baby that's just been born,
(23:13):
a newborn, you're gonna suddenly cause its system to start
reacting to seventeen or fifty or seventy, whatever the numbers.
I don't care. Over a short period of time, no
spread them out. But we've been taught you can't question that.
You can't question it, and doctor Paul points out Senator
(23:36):
Paul does, how absurd this is.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Hell.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
The Speckled Monster is a great book about the introduction
of the smallpox vaccine in seventeen twenty into our country.
All miracles, but I'm not a one size fits all.
It's not all or nothing. I chose to wait on
my hepatitis B vaccine and we did it when they
went to schools.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
That made me an awful person?
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Does that make me an anti vaxxer because I questioned
the government dictative whether I do it, And I'm not
speaking for anybody else.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
I'm only speaking for myself.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
But for goodness sakes, let's have an honest debate about
these things.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
The COVID vaccine.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
If you ask me my opinion, there are reporters are
uping down the sall and they say you still anti vaccine. No,
I'm pro vaccine. But on the COVID vaccine and on
the covid illness, there was a thousandfold or more difference
between the elderly and children. If you don't acknowledge that
you're committing malpractice, you're showing your ignorance. If you say
a six month old must be mandated to get it.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
The science is not there.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
So all this blather about the science says this, and
the science says that no it doesn't. The science actually
shows it. No healthy child in America died from COVID.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Look it up.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
No healthy child died from COVID. And so the thing
is is that it's a thousandfold greater. So if you
ask me my advice as a physician, if you were
sixty five or older, or overweight and some other conditions,
I would have said, hell, yes, I'd take the COVID vaccine.
The risk of the disease were real and much greater
than the vaccine. But if you ask me, should my
healthy six month old get it? See, these are the
(25:06):
nuances you're unwilling to talk about because there's such a
belief in submission. Submit to the government, do what you're told.
There is no discussion. There ought to be a debate.
You're not going to let him have the debate because
you're just going to criticize and say it is this
and admit to it, or we're not going to appoint you.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
But it's more complicated than that, and.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
This is why people distrust government, because you're unwilling to
have these conversations, and I go home, ask your Democrat
young mothers, your Republican young mothers if they're vaccinating their
kid for appetitis being They're like, well, do I have
to do it on day one? Is this precious little baby?
Is there science to say you shouldn't do it? Probably not,
but it's my kid, you know. It's like, there isn't
(25:45):
clear cut science saying not to. But on autism, there's
no good science of anything to show what causes autism.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
We don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
It's a profound disease. I know many moms here and
dads who have kids with autis. I know them personally,
I've met their kids. But the thing is is they
saw their kids developing completely normal, maybe speaking one hundred words,
go to no words at about fifteen months of age.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Now, there isn't proof. There isn't proof that the vaccines
cause it. That's true.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
There isn't proof that it calls it. But we don't
know what causes it yet. So shouldn't we be at
least open minded. We takes seventy two vaccines.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
Could it be? I don't know, But we shouldn't.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
Just close the door and say we're no longer because
we believe so much in submission.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
We're not going to have an open mind to study
these things.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
And so it's sort of this crazy notion schizophrenia I
would put in the same notion. You have a kid
who's completely normal to eighteen or nineteen and their brain
goes heywire.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
How does that happen?
Speaker 5 (26:39):
It's the most bizarre disease. Shouldn't we be open Could
it be our food?
Speaker 3 (26:44):
It might be vaccines, it might be our food.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
But autism is more common.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
I don't know about the schizophrenia statistics, but autisms more common.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Should we want to be open minded? Instead?
Speaker 5 (26:53):
We're so closed minded and we're so consensus driven that
the science says this.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Well, science doesn't say anything.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Science is a dispute, and ten years from now we
could all be wrong.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
We were think how many times we've been told don't
eat this, and then suddenly you know, ten twenty years later,
oh you should be eating that, or vice versa. It's
always that the science should be questioned. And I don't
care where that science is from an individual, or from
the government, or from anybody else. But if you understand
(27:28):
what I mean about just how stupid some of these
people are here's a senator. This is Senator Hassan. I
have no idea where she's from. Maybe she's going to
hear us senators. But here she is yelling that the
science can be wrong, but we should not question the
science because the science is settled, which perfectly sums up
(27:52):
the absurdity of what we were dealing with during COVID
and what they're in the position they're putting. Bobby Kennedy
Junior in, Yeah, the science is settled, you can't question it.
Yet the science can be wrong. Listen to her. This
woman's an idiot. She's completely oblivious to how stupid she sounds.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Because sometimes science is wrong.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
We make progress, we build on the work, and we've
become more successful.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
And when you continue to so doubt about settled science.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Oh wait a minute, let's back up. Let's just make
sure we understand what she said. Here, are you ready?
Here we go turn your brains.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
On because sometimes science is wrong.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Okay, so sometimes science is wrong. So what do we do?
Speaker 6 (28:40):
We make progress?
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Oh, we make progress. We do further testing, We do
further experiments. We put a new hypothesis out and we
test the hypothesis, and we keep moving and science keeps evolving,
which is why someday something's bad for you, in twenty
years later, it's good for your vice versa.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
So then she goes on, we build on the work.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
We build on the work. Science is always evolving. We
build and we build and we build.
Speaker 7 (29:07):
And we've become more successful. And when you continue to
so doubt about settled science, Wait.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
A minute, now, I'm really curious. So what's the definition
of settled science?
Speaker 6 (29:19):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
I think I know. It's when this dumbass tells us
that it is when a government official tells you the
science is settled. Really that goes against you. Know. I
wasn't very good. I mean I was okay in biology,
and but when it came to chemistry and some of
the stuff, I really wasn't very good. But I do
(29:41):
remember being taught that, you know, failing in science is
the door to success. You know, if you ask Michael
Jordan how many free throws he missed, how many shots
he missed, how many fouls he committed, and he listened
all of those out, you would think he was the
(30:01):
biggest loser in basket in professional basketball ever. But that's
just looking at all the mistakes. You need to look
at the successes too. These people are absolutely out of
their mind. I'll be right back. Hey, So we came
(30:21):
with Michael Brown, and I'm glad to have you with me.
If you us send me a text message, it's easy
to do and your message app the numbers is three
three one zero three three three one zero three. Starts
your message with either Mike or Michael. Tell me anything
or ask me anything? Three three one zero three, don't
forget follow me on X. It's at Michael Brown USA,
at Michael Brown USA. So back to brand Paul because
(30:43):
the doctor makes some great points here. And I think
this is why one reason why I think the Make
America Healthy Again movement has really caught fire. It's a
wildfire spreading like crazy because people recognize that, yeah, we
really are a sick nation, and a lot of that
sickness is driven by government.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
We're told in the beginning, twenty years ago, they did
this enormous study and they said everybody over fifty should
take an aspirin. I thought, well, it's a pretty good idea,
this makes sense. But you know what, twenty years later
they measured it and they found if you had no
heart disease and you were taking asper, your chance of
dying from a brain bleed or from a stomach bleed
were greater than the risk of heart disease.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
You have heart disease.
Speaker 5 (31:24):
They still say take an aspirin if you don't have
changed your mind twenty years later. But would you have
all said I was crazy and I should no longer
be in public discourse if I had said twenty years ago,
I don't feel like taking an asper. I ride my
bike all the time. I'm afraid I might hit my head.
But that's what country is about, is what this sentence about.
So just to ask you to look at the larger
picture and give the guy break who says I just
(31:46):
want to follow the science where it leads without presupposition.
I think, really what we have up here is presupposition.
You've already concluded it's absolute that autism isn't caused by
we don't know what causes autism, So we should be
more humble than what we say.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Boom, and he delivers the knockout punch. I think there's
something buried in this that is emblematic of a problem
in our society as a whole, and that is, in fact,
it ties back to that young black Man at the
(32:22):
very beginning of the program about people that don't think critically,
that are just headline readers that don't read the story,
or to his point, he reads the fine print, and
all you read is the big print. Too many people
fail to really think for themselves. And I think many
(32:42):
people are afraid to think for themselves because we have
so capitulated all of our autonomy, all of our individualism,
over to the government. And so if the government decrees
that we shall do X and x's best you, we
all bow down and say, oh yes, oh holy Government, Yes,
(33:03):
we'll do whatever you tell us to do. Now again,
I'm not preaching anarchy, but what they're doing is they're
silencing descent. They're telling you that if you dare dissent,
then we'll come for you. If you dare a descent,
you're the troublemaker. You know. The most powerful thing that
(33:29):
I think a person can do, well, maybe the second
most powerful, because I think the most powerful thing a
person can do is actually just stop, shut up and
just listen to what somebody has to say, and then
question is to just question. You know, I'm fortunate enough
to have been brought up in an era or maybe
in just maybe it's just my public school upbringing where
(33:50):
I just happened to have good teachers. Maybe I got
the luck of the draw where I was taught. You
need to question these things, and even the teachers would ask,
you know, not do you agree with this, but do
you agree or disagree with something? Oh, you disagree with
what I just said? Explain to explain to the class why.
(34:12):
And of course then I had either the benefit or
the detriment of having gone to law school where you
were taught. Yes, if you have a case, you need
to be able to argue both sides of that case,
because you need to understand what your opposition is going
to be arguing so that you can counter it. And
I just don't think that's even an acceptable way of
(34:35):
thinking in this country anymore. So somebody like Bobby Kennedy
steps up, and yes, he's been pretty radical, and he's
been pretty far out there on some of his positions,
but you know what, wouldn't you rather have someone in
charge of other than dd HHS is probably the largest
and most influential bureaucracy inside the BELTWAGH. It's got the
(34:58):
National Institute of Health, it's got the FDA, well, FDA
actually stands lone and on its own. It's got the
National Institutes for Allergies and Infectious Diseases, which was headed
by doctor Fauci. It gives away billions of dollars a
year in grants for research, and of course people do
(35:19):
people base their research based on the source of their
grant or do they really do objective research? I don't know,
you'd have to go ask the researchers. But we just
capitulate for whatever reason. We just capitulate to the government,
and or we just capitulate to the media, to the cabal.
Oh well, it was on the evening news, so therefore
(35:41):
it must be true. So Bobby Kennedy comes along as
a Democrat, as a pretty standard typical old school liberal Democrat,
and wants to this country to just be healthy again.
If you don't think that's a problem in our society,
(36:03):
go look at where we rank in terms of the
dollars spent on healthcare versus our outcomes on healthcare. Go
look at where we rank worldwide in terms of just
being a healthy nation, or where we rank in terms
of obesity or heart disease, or cancer or autism or
anything else compared to the rest of the world. Ask
(36:27):
yourself why it is that the French and the Italian
are able to eat all that pasta and all that
rich food and everything else, and yet their lifestyles, you
would think they would all be obese, and yet they're not.
There's something wrong and Bobby Kennedy wants to fix it.
It's the Weekend with Michael Brown. Thanks for joining in,
don't forget go over and follow me on x It's
at Michael Brown USA. I'll be right back
