Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mike, So, did you see the babylon Bee.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Article that said that Trump fired all federal employees and
replace them with one Chick fil A employee? Sounds about right?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
No, I meant I hadn't. I'm a irregular reader of
the babylon Bee. I don't subscribe to it, but I do.
I follow them, and so when they pop up in
my x feed where you should be following me at
Michael Brown USA, then I read it then. But I
don't you know, Dragon, you were very concerned. You mentioned
(00:39):
it on Friday, and then you mentioned it again yesterday
that because Groundhog Day fell on Sunday, that you couldn't
play you know, Sunday and share over and over and
over on Monday because it was it was too late,
it was done. And then you played it once yesterday
and then your upset that nobody riding on you about it.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
The hell are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
You know precisely what I'm talking about. Well, I also
missed something that you could have done yesterday that we
totally missed. Yesterday was actually a very important day of music,
the day the music died.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Didn't even think about.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
That same same I don't know what and if you ask.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Me right this moment what made me think about that
yesterday I would have no freaking clue whatsoever, But somehow
you live rent free in my brain, and I was
really troubled that you didn't get to do what you
wanted to do. And I was thinking what could have
been the alternative? Wait a minute, is February third, nineteen
fifty nine, the day the music died?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Today?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Today, maybe you could find an appropriate song for today,
because today is, as I mentioned in one of the
Michael Brown minutes or something or.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Last week, today is February fourth, which is Christopher Redbeard's,
my oldest son's twenty fifth birthday.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Well you know what you could do to celebrate that
birthday today? You could go ride RTD for free. It's
transit equity day today, which is what I did. I
got up this morning, I drove, I drove over to
the nearest light rail because there is no bus service
when I leave the house in the morning at this time.
(02:30):
So I drove over to the closest light rail, parked
the car, you know, you know, had on my suit
and tie and my little satchel, and I walked up
and stood on the platform and I stood on the platform,
and I stood on the platform and the trains aren't
running yet.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah, I waited for an hour and a half.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Wait for an hour and a half.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
So I decided we'll get back in the car and
you know, and ran to McDonald's and got some night
cokes and came on in. This is according to Westward
the RTD bus in twenty twenty four. This RTD bus
in twenty twenty four was designed for the sixtieth anniversary
(03:04):
of the Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty four. All
RTD rides will be free Tuesday, February fourth, That would
be today, as the Metro Denver Transit Agency celebrates Transit
Equity Day. Though RT and I love this because there's
more to this than just meets the eye. Though RTD
(03:25):
did not offer a free month or more of rides
for adults last year, as it had in twenty twenty
two and twenty twenty three, the agency is still finding
ways to make some days fair free. People under nineteen
can always ride free for free, while adults got free
(03:45):
rides on Election Day and.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
New Year's Eve in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Approved by the RT boarder directors in December, Transit Equity
Day celebrates Rosa Parks, who famous you refuse, who famously
you refuse? Oh my god, get a freaking editor. This
is just how it reads. Approved by the RTD Board
(04:12):
of Directors in December. Transit Equity Days celebrates Rosa Parks,
who famously refusal to give up her seat and move
to the back of the bus in nineteen fifty five,
spurring the Montgomery bus boycott.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
That's such portly written sentence.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
In November nineteen fifty six, almost a year after Parks protest,
the Supreme Court ruled segregation on buses to be unconstitutional.
Now there's a lot of unpacking that because let's think
about equity. Equity means everything is equal. So how do
they want to celebrate everything by being equal? By taking
(04:52):
your tax dollars that go to subsidize And by the way,
if you're listening to me in some other state, your
tax tax dollars also go to subsidize the Regional Transportation
District in Colorado.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Because they do get federal money.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
So some of your tax dollars, say in Mississippi, helps
go to pay for RTD in Colorado, and same for
California or New York anyplace else.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Thank you yes, and we're very, very grateful.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
We're so grateful that I'm willing to give up my
seat for any rows of Parks that wants to sit
on the bus or the train today. You could have
my seat since it's free.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
You can take the RTD downtown, or you can take
your car. Well, one's an hour and a half less
and they cost the same.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
And I love the fact that we're celebrating someone who was,
you know, going against the grain. I like people that
go against the grain. I like people that push the envelope.
I like people that, you know, stand up for what
they believe in. And Rosa Parks is certainly one of
those individuals.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So what do we do?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
We give away something free that hardly nobody uses. Then
the other story that Dragon leaves on the console this
morning is a seven eleven customer. Now it just says Florida,
(06:24):
it doesn't say where in Florida.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
But I want to know, why can't we why not Colorado?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
All we get is, by the way, Trenda Ragua, a
gang member, Trendo Arragua, was arrested in Colorado, So we're
famous for that, but we can't get this Caltavilla Turner,
aged twenty two, got into a verbal altercation with a
thirty year old female worker worker and the women exchanged
(06:53):
derogatory comments towards each other. Now, according to the police report,
if I were the popo right that police report, I
would have said, Katalina Turner, twenty two, got into a
catfight with a thirty year year old female worker. At
one point, Turner, who is a stripper, became irate and
(07:14):
picked up a banana from the cashier counter and threw
the banana at the victim's face. The airborne fruit struck
the employee on the cheekbone and left a minor abrasion.
According to the investigators, the banana was not seized as evidence. Cops,
(07:39):
you got to preserve the evidence. How many times do
we go looking, we can't find the weapon, We can't
find the weapon. Well, here you had the weapon and
the weapon was reported and you did not preserve the weapon. Now,
I want you to think about how many people in
(08:00):
this country New York, Colorado, Illinois, California in particular, we're
looking at you Massachusetts. Let's don't leave out Massachusetts where
people are convicted or are not convicted but are arrested
I'm sorry, please excuse me. Are arrested for I don't know,
assault with a deadly weapon or assault in battery or
(08:22):
attempted murder, and they are just you know, come in
and we'll give you a notice to a peer, and
you come back and appear in front of the court
you know such and such time, or here's a cat.
You know, we'll give you a cash bond of you know,
your your bond set at five hundred dollars, so your
bond can be a cash bond of fifty dollars. Well,
almost any thug or homeless person could come up with
(08:45):
fifty dollars. But this woman who threw up banana is
being held without bond for violating probation in connection with
a grand theft conviction in a neighboring county. Turners stole
about eight hundred dollars worth of merchandise from a Walmart store.
Come on, you, criminals, you're proving your you're proving the
(09:07):
theorem that criminals are dumb. You could have been in
California where you could have stolen eight hundred dollars worth
of merchandise and you would not have gotten a conviction
because it was below nine hundred dollars. Regarding that felony case.
Turner has previously been cited for failing a pre trial
intervention program as well as for not performing seventy five
(09:30):
hours of community service. Now, then that made me think
about what could a stripper do for community service. Well,
let me just say right now, if there are any
strippers in this audience, and you know there are, If
there are any strippers in this audience who need to
perform seventy five hours of community service, well, there are
four hours a day in which you can come out
(09:51):
and we'll give you access to the newsroom out here
in our little work area. And in fact, you can
even use my desk if you to, and you can perform.
I don't know how we can get Can you do
your stripping without a pole? Do I need to get
a pole?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well, there are lap dances. Wouldn't that be considered stripping
as well? So that's you don't need a poll for that.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Yep, that requires bodily contact, and I'm not sure how
the company would feel about bodily contact. So I just
need a stripper just to come out and out here,
just you know, four hours a day from now, I
know it's gonna be hard to get up, you know,
Old dark thirty. But if you could just come in
and that way you could perform your community service by
coming in here every day and doing that.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Can you do the boat cruise story next?
Speaker 4 (10:38):
No?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Actually, I was going to this because I had seen
this story earlier and I was thinking about doing it
as a Michael Brown Minute.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
The cruise truth.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I will I'll never lie to the I'll lie to you,
but I'll never lie to the audience. But I will
in this case tell you the truth that. Yes, i'd
seen this story before, and I actually considered doing a
Michael Brown it on it, but excited. Ye, I just
really didn't really, Yeah, I just really don't care. After
some of this, this comes to us from where, you know?
(11:09):
You got to start telling me where this comes from. Oh,
it comes from nine News because the author is Jeremy
Jehoas from over at nine News. After someone smashed a
window on which a swastika symbol was displayed last week,
the person who lives in an apartment you know, put
up two more images of the hate symbol in what
appears to be an act of defiance. On Monday, too,
(11:31):
Swastikas could be seen on two windows overlooking Colfax Avenue
from the third story of an apartment building. Last Tuesday,
the DPD responded to reports of a smashed window where
the first swastika was displayed. So this is wonderful, So
you put up a swastikia. And by the way, I
don't like swastikas. I think swastikas are a symbol of hate.
(11:55):
Their symbol of obviously Nazi Germany. Uh And you know,
in which unless you're a Holocaust denier, which in case
you're totally insane.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
But isn't that free speech?
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I mean, if we can allow the Nazis, and the
Supreme Court rules that in Skokie, Illinois, the Nazis can
hold a march and they can espouse their hatred because
it's protected by the First Amendment, can I not put
a swastika on my window?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Now?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Not that I would, and I certainly would not, But
I'm just saying, isn't that speech? Because if Christ in
a bottle of piss is protected speech, then why isn't
a swastika protected speech?
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Now?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I know mean, if you are already offended by those
two items, and that's fine, you should be offended by
those two items, but you should be able to learn
to understand that that is also protected speech, and we should,
you know, allow now you could protest it if you
wanted to go out in front of that apartment building
(13:04):
and you wanted to protest. I'm one hundred percent for that.
But what do you think you're doing when you smash
the window of private property because a tenant has put
that on the window? Nine News attempted to contact the
tenant by knocking on the door. They had to put
(13:29):
that in, Like I mean, is that as opposed to
calling them on their cell phone or you know, jumping
them in the elevator or I mean what? But nobody
has responded. The property management company responsible for the building
has not responded to messages either. The Anti Defamation League
Mountain States Region in Colorado said community members have been
(13:49):
sending in complaints and concerns about the hate symbols. Whenever
we see a symbol of hate or here a hateful rhetoric,
it's always incumbent upon us to exercise our own voices,
at our own First Amendment rights to say this is
not the value that we support as a community, said
Jeremy Shaver with the ADL in Colorado. Shaver says that
(14:11):
the ADEL has reached out to the property manager with resources.
A barber shop below the unit, which has nothing to
do with the symbols they have to add, has received
negative online reviews. Now, Ke, you know what, I probably
hate more than anything else, But sometimes I look at
online reviews. Why would you trust an online review? And
(14:37):
you know, oftentimes in trying to help, let's say a
fledgling restaurant that I think might be a really nice
place to eat, if they have a website or they
you know, they've got a little QR code or something,
I might leave.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
A small review. But why would you trust me? Why?
Speaker 3 (14:55):
First of all, I'm not gonna put my you know,
I might put Michael or I might put you know
him Brown or something, But I mean, I mean that
kind of gives me away, because there's only one Michael
Brown in the entire world, right, I mean, nobody else
has that name. I mean, well, the one person that
did is dead now, so it doesn't make any difference.
But why would you trust an online review?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
And then, last, but not least, we have from mister Redbeard.
You see, this is what the show would be like
if we relied on the show prep of Dragon Redbeard,
who quite honestly has better show prep based on what
he tells me about his personal life before the beginning
of the show than the crap he leaves on the
(15:39):
console now if he told us that, which I would
love to tell you the story that he told me
this morning. But I value my life and I don't
want to end up, you know, in a gutter somewhere
with my throat slash bike Missus Redbeard.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
So I won't do that.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I just know it's quiet at home, which I'm almost
okay with.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
If you have any luck, eventually it will be quiet
at home. But since I since I've never met said
mother in law, I also think I should just remain quiet. Yes,
considering that you've at one time were actually married to
a bank robber. Yes, I'm not quite sure about other
than Missus Redbeard, whom I have met, and a door.
(16:25):
I'm not quite sure of your judgment. I mean, after all,
you you worked with me too, so true, there's a
lot of questionable judgment here that just worries me about you.
First of it's kind big nude boat set sail from Miami.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Here been to Miami dragon I do. I can't like Miami.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
We did go on a cruise. I think it may
have set sail from Miami, but I didn't stay there.
I flew in and got on the boat and left.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I'm always fascinated by when people do something that they
don't normally do, Like you're not a regular cruiser, Like
you don't every year going to cruise, right.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Wreck I have. I've done one cruise and I thoroughly
enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
You've done one.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Cruise and you thoroughly enjoyed it and you have no
idea where you disembarked for the cruise?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
True?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
How can you not know where you left from it?
Over a I know I put the representing at the
end of the sentence.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
We we did the cruise over a decade ago, so
I remember where we went.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Where did you go the Caribbean? That's like I said,
I went to the Atlantic? Where do you go in
your cruise? The Atlantic fund with pets and dolphins?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Can you name one of the Caribbean countries that you
visited that.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
You believe we went to Belize? I know that one.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Wait a minute, is Belize.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Technically in the Caribbean of the dolphins Eastern Western I
think they you don't divide it a little bit, so no, okay, sure?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Why not? All right?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
The travel company Bear Necessities teamed up with Norwegian. Norwegian
Cruise Line I aims to launch the eleven day voyage
from Miami to the Caribbean. They don't know where they're
going either. It will all take place on the two
two ninety five meter Norwegian Pearl. According to the website, prices
started at about twenty two hundred dollars per person for
(18:15):
an inside cabin. May stops in Great stir Up Bay, Bahamas,
San Juan, Puerto Rico, Phillipsburg, Saint Martin, Rousseau, Dominica, Fort
de France, Martinique and Custries Saint Lucilla. For information on
the cruise, click on this.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Link or go to Michael says go here dot com.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Course, Michael says go here dot com. Speaking of Nazis,
Joy read Joy Reid of MSNBC is in the news.
They just can't let it go.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Michael, you're so full of saint news saying that somebody
from Trenda Ragua was captured and arrested yesterday. They are
a figment of your imagination. I don't know where you
come up with this stuff. Next you're going to tell
us that the elf on the shelf comes to life
in the middle of the night and changes locations.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
He does, and it's not a figment of my imagination,
or maybe it is. I mean, who you going to believe,
the governor or the popo, the ice people that arrested them.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
So Joy Reid is yesterday, I'm reading all this stuff
about U. S a i D, which we will get to,
and I'm reading about, you know, the FBI, and how
Andy McCabe, the you know that piece of crap assistant director,
is all talking about how the FBI is in disarray
and people are running around with the heads on fire.
(19:52):
And then I happen to see a protest U S
a I D employees outside the us AID building protesting
and they can't get a crowd. They nobody's showing up.
And then I discover a story where Joy Reid is
(20:13):
talking about us AI D. But then she swerves off
into never never land. Uh, let's start out with just
kind of how she.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Starts out anyway, demanding entry and access to the computers
when the Dolage people arrived at USA and on Friday
they forced their way in and gained that access as
they have.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I mean, the picture she's paying.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Can't you imagine like Elon Musk with you know, one
of those oh what do you call them, the big
that they go banging into, you know, the swat teams
used to bang a door open, to break a door open,
And there's Elon with his son X on his on
his shoulders, and they go charge in and yelled everyboddy out, out, out,
(21:03):
out your damn bureaucrats out. I mean, that's the way
she describes it. So I assume that's the way it
happened to.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
The computers when the Doge people arrived at USA and
on Friday they forced their way in and gained that
access as they have already done. And at other offices
of the federal government, the Office of Personnel Management and
the Treasury Department, where they gained access to our social
security files and the contents of everything everyone working for
(21:29):
the federal government put into their job applications and their
applications for security clearances, their financial information, personal information, information
about their families and more. All.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
How would you keep in that mind because we're gonna
talk about that too, because she's not exactly telling you
the truth about this either.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Well, that private data is now in the hands of
people that you didn't vote for and didn't give permission
to have it.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Well, I find that interesting because if she's upset that
our private data, including our Social Security numbers and everything else,
is in the hands of people that we did not elect,
then hasn't that always been true? Because I don't think now.
(22:14):
I may be wrong, you know, I forget things occasionally,
and I'm not sometimes I'm just not quite certain. But
I don't recall ever in the two hundred years that
I've personally been voting, I don't ever remember looking on
(22:34):
the ballot and voting for, say, an IRS employee. I
don't ever remember voting for a USAID employee. I don't
ever remember voting for an FBI employee. I don't ever
remember voting for any employees of the bureaucracy. I've voted
for a president and a vice president. Well, actually, I
(22:56):
take that back. I've technically voted for electors for a
president and vice uh, and they didn't assume office. I mean,
they assume their electoral college office. But then they went
ahead in on my behalf voted for the candidate that
they were representing. So joy, I don't think you ever
(23:16):
you've ever voted for a bureaucrat in your life either effectively.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Elon Musk an unelected billionaire oligarch.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Now hm unelected billionaire oligarch. Okay, let's see how I mean.
You're you're pretty good putting words together.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Has access to the personal data of millions, really tens
of billions of Americans and the data of his have
his competitors, his business competitors, giving his companies an unprecedented
advantage in their existing and likely future lucrative government contracts
(23:53):
while they develop and exploit AI technologies.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
That was you voted for, the Office.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Of Personnel Management has been completely taken over by Elon's cronies.
Elon forced out the head of the Federal Aviation Administration
and the highest ranking career official at the Treasury Department.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Wow is really? I mean?
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Remember I think Trump told us one time that you know,
settled down, Elon, I'm the president, not you. But comparison
appears to me that we've now Trump is irrelevant.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Elon Musk is doing everything.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Derek Lebrick who reportedly resigned after refusing to hand Musk
lackeys the keys to the government's entire payment system and
the six trillion dollars in payments for the system processes
every year.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Wait, real quick, can I jump in here real quick?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Hold, it's six trillion. Our budget is like four trillion.
We're paying out to individuals six trillion. Wow, we got
real problems, Yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
She seems very concerned that Elon Musk would have your
personal information, say like banking account information. Didn't Elon Musk
start PayPal. He's already got that information, you ding bat.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
And now if you want to have the you know
you used to be you got the blue check mark
on X on Twitter at the time because you were
a notable personality. Now you pay for it. You pay
whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
You willingly gave him.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
And you give him that credit card number or that
bank account number so that they can process that payment,
so you can get your little blue check mark.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Yeah, but hey, I bet Joy's on TikTok too, and
I bet Joy's giving all of her information to the
Chinese Communist Party.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
But that you know, and it's not just Elon Some
of these so called doge officials, including people barely out
of college. And I cannot stress this enough. Report to
these private individuals, not to the American people.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Well the way, can I just comment? I know you
can't see it, but I want you to imagine it.
What's with wearing ear rings that are the size of
tire rims and.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
You can't see it? It's up at Michael saysco here
dot com.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Yeah, what would you just go take a look at
that and explain to me why you're wearing It's either
steering steering wheels as ear rings or tire rims as
ear rings. And they're as big, not bigger than her
bald head.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
We know very little about them, but some appear to
have connections to fellow white South African oligarch Peter Teal
Jadie Vance's sole former employer. Over the past two weeks,
which kind of feels like it's been two years, we
have learned just how fragile our democracy is and how
relatively easy it is for someone who's determined and really
well funded to steal and corrupt it. If you are
(27:04):
going to write a playbook for how to steal a
democracy in less than twenty days, it would sure look
a lot like this. Let's bringing Vonon Hilliard, White House,
correspondent for NBC News for the Latest. I want to
start with this question.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Of what a fu Yeah, we don't care about that,
but Joey decided she makes us stunning. I do mean stunning.
Two and a half minute direct comparison of Donald Trump two.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Eighty years ago today, Stalin's Red Army walked through the
gates of Auschwitz and uncovered the true inhumanity and evil
of the Nazi regimes. Millions of men, women and children murdered,
thousands more star beaten, humiliated and robbed of their dignity.
The extermination of Jewish people, polls, Roma, Soviet prisoners of war,
(27:54):
gay people, and others was no secret.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
It happened in broad daylight.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
But how did he do it well?
Speaker 4 (28:01):
With the support of millions of ordinary Germans who just
wanted Germany to be great again and business leaders who
initially thought they could control him, plus a caadre of
devout political allies willing to do whatever he said for
the sake of power. A new piece by The Atlantic
lays out how Hitler ended a German democracy and installed
a dictatorship.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
With blinding speed.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
And entirely constitutional measures. In that period, Hitler emerged emboldened
after being imprisoned for staging a coup. His rage and
xenophobia gained followers after the financial ruin of World War
One and the Great Depression, and helped get him selected
as Chancellor. Once in power, he moved with shock and off,
imprisoning his liberal opposition, abolishing states' rights and imposing bans on.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Left wing newspapers.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
He fueled German public outrage by blaming European Jews for
Germany's problems. Notably, he and his Minister of Public Enlightenment
and Propaganda, Joseph Goebels, launched a mass propaganda campaign that
labeled Jews as carriers of deadly diseases and violent terrorists.
Defeating the Jews of Europe, who they viewed as subhuman,
(29:10):
was a question of good conquering evil, which conditioned millions
of Germans to celebrate Hitler and turn a blind eye
to his brutality. That sounds vaguely familiar. That's because it
is similar. Similarities to what happened in Germany and what's
happening now in America are just undeniable. History may not
repeat verbatim.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
But it sure does rhyme.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Trump and Stephen Miller, his former director of speech writing,
depict non white immigrants as carriers of deadly diseases who
are violent terrorists. Trump was returned to the presidency after
staging a coup and has exerted control of media or
social media in order to parrot anti immigrant vitriol and
openly hateful anti LGBTQ language, which is what menagist did.
(29:55):
And then there are the business leaders who pay him,
fund him, and to think they can control him.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Two minutes thirty seconds of Joy Reid unmistakably unequivocally comparing
Donald Trump's election and his first what we're now two weeks,
two weeks into office. Compare you that to Hitler's first
fifty three days in office, and Trump is Hitler. That's
(30:27):
all they've got.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Change is rough.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Change is difficult, particularly when you've been controlling the levers
of government for decades and your Marxist policies are beginning
to be shown for what they are suddenly. Well, the
only thing you have left is compare Trump to Hitler.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Good grief, Michael and Dragon.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Those idgits on the view can fight me and everyone
else who disagrees with them jackasses.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
Just for clarification, that was joy read, not Joy. They
are they all sound the same, Yeah, and they all
and they do, they all parent each other. It's it's absurd.
But I want you stop and think for a minute
about this whole thing about your personal information, your name, address,
birth date, social security number, spouse, his name, your financial information.
(31:26):
Think of all the places that have that, because I
did yesterday. Because for me, based on my previous life,
my information is in the hands of people that I
quite frankly wish it wasn't in the hands of But
nonetheless they they have it, and they and they and
(31:48):
I know for a fact, not really going to explain
to you why I know it to be a fact,
but I do know for a fact that it still exists,
primarily because of my security clearances. But for me, without
even getting into just somebody that's not been in my
position before, the CIA has.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
All of my data everything. I mean, you start with
the S F fifty. I think it's SF eighty six
or fifty six.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I forget the.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Name of the document that you fill out for your clearances,
or even for for my two presidential nominations, I filled
out everything going back to the age of eighteen years
of age, places, lived, jobs, I had anything that I
(32:43):
was involved in, you know, investments, financial businesses, everything, every
single thing. And then the FBI did a full field
FBI investigation. They went to old neighbors, knocked on doors,
asked all sorts of questions. All those documents still exist.
The CIA has all my information, the NSA has my information.
(33:05):
The Department of Homeland Security has all my information, the
FBI has my information, The Defense Intelligence Agency has all
my information. The White House has all my information. And
when I talk about all my information, I'm not talking
about just all the stuff on you know, the the data.
I'm talking about the biometric data too.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
They know about your ingrown toenail, they know.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
About my ingrown toenails, they know about my you know,
stinky farts, they know about my you know, every thing
you can possibly imagine, surgeries.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I've had everything. But now think.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
About just the average person, your employer. Think about all
the information your employer has on you, well, the information
your doctor has on you. O. But Michael, that's protected
by HIPPA. Well, then you're really stupid if you think
that information is protected. It's not the hospital lawyers, the
tech giants. Oh but Michael, what did you sign up for?
(33:58):
And what do you do when you play a stupid
game on Facebook? Heal the stupid games like what kind
of animal am I? You're basically taking a personality test
that tells them everything about al On?
Speaker 2 (34:08):
What do you think about and you remember from a
few years ago that target breach.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
The target breach, the OPM breach.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
I mean, how often do you get an email about, Hey,
we discovered six months ago a data breach and we thought,
you know, six months later we ought to.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Tell you about it.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
If you have the IRS, do you file a tax return,
if you have a passport the State Department? Do you
have a TSA preach check or do you have a
global entry? Then DHS has that? What about all your
past employers? What about the credit reporting agencies? And then
what's out there on the dark web? And you're concerned
(34:46):
about Listen, I'm concerned about privacy and you should be too.
But don't let these numb and ups convince you that
somehow that what Elon Musk and the Department of Government
Efficiency those are trying to do, or that somehow this
is all you know, something New No, there was a
(35:06):
story I read yesterday Kroger, you know, King Soopers. They're
working with and I forget the company. They're working with
a company to do facial recognition so that as your shopping,
as you're going up and down the grocery store, there
will be prices of you know, green beans that I
(35:27):
might get for oh, I don't know, a dollar forty
nine a can, but DRAGON might get them for I
don't know, a dollar twenty nine a can, based solely
on your facial recognition, your past purchase history, and the
financial data that they have that they can get from
all of the credit reporting agency and everybody else. Yes,
(35:49):
it's a brave new world for certain
Mike, So, did you see the babylon Bee.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Article that said that Trump fired all federal employees and
replace them with one Chick fil A employee? Sounds about right?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
No, I meant I hadn't. I'm a irregular reader of
the babylon Bee. I don't subscribe to it, but I do.
I follow them, and so when they pop up in
my x feed where you should be following me at
Michael Brown USA, then I read it then. But I
don't you know, Dragon, you were very concerned. You mentioned
(00:39):
it on Friday, and then you mentioned it again yesterday
that because Groundhog Day fell on Sunday, that you couldn't
play you know, Sunday and share over and over and
over on Monday because it was it was too late,
it was done. And then you played it once yesterday
and then your upset that nobody riding on you about it.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
The hell are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
You know precisely what I'm talking about. Well, I also
missed something that you could have done yesterday that we
totally missed. Yesterday was actually a very important day of music,
the day the music died.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Didn't even think about.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
That same same I don't know what and if you ask.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Me right this moment what made me think about that
yesterday I would have no freaking clue whatsoever, But somehow
you live rent free in my brain, and I was
really troubled that you didn't get to do what you
wanted to do. And I was thinking what could have
been the alternative? Wait a minute, is February third, nineteen
fifty nine, the day the music died?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Today?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Today, maybe you could find an appropriate song for today,
because today is, as I mentioned in one of the
Michael Brown minutes or something or.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Last week, today is February fourth, which is Christopher Redbeard's,
my oldest son's twenty fifth birthday.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Well you know what you could do to celebrate that
birthday today? You could go ride RTD for free. It's
transit equity day today, which is what I did. I
got up this morning, I drove, I drove over to
the nearest light rail because there is no bus service
when I leave the house in the morning at this time.
(02:30):
So I drove over to the closest light rail, parked
the car, you know, you know, had on my suit
and tie and my little satchel, and I walked up
and stood on the platform and I stood on the platform,
and I stood on the platform and the trains aren't
running yet.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah, I waited for an hour and a half.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Wait for an hour and a half.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
So I decided we'll get back in the car and
you know, and ran to McDonald's and got some night
cokes and came on in. This is according to Westward
the RTD bus in twenty twenty four. This RTD bus
in twenty twenty four was designed for the sixtieth anniversary
(03:04):
of the Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty four. All
RTD rides will be free Tuesday, February fourth, That would
be today, as the Metro Denver Transit Agency celebrates Transit
Equity Day. Though RT and I love this because there's
more to this than just meets the eye. Though RTD
(03:25):
did not offer a free month or more of rides
for adults last year, as it had in twenty twenty
two and twenty twenty three, the agency is still finding
ways to make some days fair free. People under nineteen
can always ride free for free, while adults got free
(03:45):
rides on Election Day and.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
New Year's Eve in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Approved by the RT boarder directors in December, Transit Equity
Day celebrates Rosa Parks, who famous you refuse, who famously
you refuse? Oh my god, get a freaking editor. This
is just how it reads. Approved by the RTD Board
(04:12):
of Directors in December. Transit Equity Days celebrates Rosa Parks,
who famously refusal to give up her seat and move
to the back of the bus in nineteen fifty five,
spurring the Montgomery bus boycott.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
That's such portly written sentence.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
In November nineteen fifty six, almost a year after Parks protest,
the Supreme Court ruled segregation on buses to be unconstitutional.
Now there's a lot of unpacking that because let's think
about equity. Equity means everything is equal. So how do
they want to celebrate everything by being equal? By taking
(04:52):
your tax dollars that go to subsidize And by the way,
if you're listening to me in some other state, your
tax tax dollars also go to subsidize the Regional Transportation
District in Colorado.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Because they do get federal money.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
So some of your tax dollars, say in Mississippi, helps
go to pay for RTD in Colorado, and same for
California or New York anyplace else.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Thank you yes, and we're very, very grateful.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
We're so grateful that I'm willing to give up my
seat for any rows of Parks that wants to sit
on the bus or the train today. You could have
my seat since it's free.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
You can take the RTD downtown, or you can take
your car. Well, one's an hour and a half less
and they cost the same.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
And I love the fact that we're celebrating someone who was,
you know, going against the grain. I like people that
go against the grain. I like people that push the envelope.
I like people that, you know, stand up for what
they believe in. And Rosa Parks is certainly one of
those individuals.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So what do we do?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
We give away something free that hardly nobody uses. Then
the other story that Dragon leaves on the console this
morning is a seven eleven customer. Now it just says Florida,
(06:24):
it doesn't say where in Florida.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
But I want to know, why can't we why not Colorado?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
All we get is, by the way, Trenda Ragua, a
gang member, Trendo Arragua, was arrested in Colorado, So we're
famous for that, but we can't get this Caltavilla Turner,
aged twenty two, got into a verbal altercation with a
thirty year old female worker worker and the women exchanged
(06:53):
derogatory comments towards each other. Now, according to the police report,
if I were the popo right that police report, I
would have said, Katalina Turner, twenty two, got into a
catfight with a thirty year year old female worker. At
one point, Turner, who is a stripper, became irate and
(07:14):
picked up a banana from the cashier counter and threw
the banana at the victim's face. The airborne fruit struck
the employee on the cheekbone and left a minor abrasion.
According to the investigators, the banana was not seized as evidence. Cops,
(07:39):
you got to preserve the evidence. How many times do
we go looking, we can't find the weapon, We can't
find the weapon. Well, here you had the weapon and
the weapon was reported and you did not preserve the weapon. Now,
I want you to think about how many people in
(08:00):
this country New York, Colorado, Illinois, California in particular, we're
looking at you Massachusetts. Let's don't leave out Massachusetts where
people are convicted or are not convicted but are arrested
I'm sorry, please excuse me. Are arrested for I don't know,
assault with a deadly weapon or assault in battery or
(08:22):
attempted murder, and they are just you know, come in
and we'll give you a notice to a peer, and
you come back and appear in front of the court
you know such and such time, or here's a cat.
You know, we'll give you a cash bond of you know,
your your bond set at five hundred dollars, so your
bond can be a cash bond of fifty dollars. Well,
almost any thug or homeless person could come up with
(08:45):
fifty dollars. But this woman who threw up banana is
being held without bond for violating probation in connection with
a grand theft conviction in a neighboring county. Turners stole
about eight hundred dollars worth of merchandise from a Walmart store.
Come on, you, criminals, you're proving your you're proving the
(09:07):
theorem that criminals are dumb. You could have been in
California where you could have stolen eight hundred dollars worth
of merchandise and you would not have gotten a conviction
because it was below nine hundred dollars. Regarding that felony case.
Turner has previously been cited for failing a pre trial
intervention program as well as for not performing seventy five
(09:30):
hours of community service. Now, then that made me think
about what could a stripper do for community service. Well,
let me just say right now, if there are any
strippers in this audience, and you know there are, If
there are any strippers in this audience who need to
perform seventy five hours of community service, well, there are
four hours a day in which you can come out
(09:51):
and we'll give you access to the newsroom out here
in our little work area. And in fact, you can
even use my desk if you to, and you can perform.
I don't know how we can get Can you do
your stripping without a pole? Do I need to get
a pole?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well, there are lap dances. Wouldn't that be considered stripping
as well? So that's you don't need a poll for that.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Yep, that requires bodily contact, and I'm not sure how
the company would feel about bodily contact. So I just
need a stripper just to come out and out here,
just you know, four hours a day from now, I
know it's gonna be hard to get up, you know,
Old dark thirty. But if you could just come in
and that way you could perform your community service by
coming in here every day and doing that.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Can you do the boat cruise story next?
Speaker 4 (10:38):
No?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Actually, I was going to this because I had seen
this story earlier and I was thinking about doing it
as a Michael Brown Minute.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
The cruise truth.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I will I'll never lie to the I'll lie to you,
but I'll never lie to the audience. But I will
in this case tell you the truth that. Yes, i'd
seen this story before, and I actually considered doing a
Michael Brown it on it, but excited. Ye, I just
really didn't really, Yeah, I just really don't care. After
some of this, this comes to us from where, you know?
(11:09):
You got to start telling me where this comes from. Oh,
it comes from nine News because the author is Jeremy
Jehoas from over at nine News. After someone smashed a
window on which a swastika symbol was displayed last week,
the person who lives in an apartment you know, put
up two more images of the hate symbol in what
appears to be an act of defiance. On Monday, too,
(11:31):
Swastikas could be seen on two windows overlooking Colfax Avenue
from the third story of an apartment building. Last Tuesday,
the DPD responded to reports of a smashed window where
the first swastika was displayed. So this is wonderful, So
you put up a swastikia. And by the way, I
don't like swastikas. I think swastikas are a symbol of hate.
(11:55):
Their symbol of obviously Nazi Germany. Uh And you know,
in which unless you're a Holocaust denier, which in case
you're totally insane.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
But isn't that free speech?
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I mean, if we can allow the Nazis, and the
Supreme Court rules that in Skokie, Illinois, the Nazis can
hold a march and they can espouse their hatred because
it's protected by the First Amendment, can I not put
a swastika on my window?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Now?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Not that I would, and I certainly would not, But
I'm just saying, isn't that speech? Because if Christ in
a bottle of piss is protected speech, then why isn't
a swastika protected speech?
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Now?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I know mean, if you are already offended by those
two items, and that's fine, you should be offended by
those two items, but you should be able to learn
to understand that that is also protected speech, and we should,
you know, allow now you could protest it if you
wanted to go out in front of that apartment building
(13:04):
and you wanted to protest. I'm one hundred percent for that.
But what do you think you're doing when you smash
the window of private property because a tenant has put
that on the window? Nine News attempted to contact the
tenant by knocking on the door. They had to put
(13:29):
that in, Like I mean, is that as opposed to
calling them on their cell phone or you know, jumping
them in the elevator or I mean what? But nobody
has responded. The property management company responsible for the building
has not responded to messages either. The Anti Defamation League
Mountain States Region in Colorado said community members have been
(13:49):
sending in complaints and concerns about the hate symbols. Whenever
we see a symbol of hate or here a hateful rhetoric,
it's always incumbent upon us to exercise our own voices,
at our own First Amendment rights to say this is
not the value that we support as a community, said
Jeremy Shaver with the ADL in Colorado. Shaver says that
(14:11):
the ADEL has reached out to the property manager with resources.
A barber shop below the unit, which has nothing to
do with the symbols they have to add, has received
negative online reviews. Now, Ke, you know what, I probably
hate more than anything else, But sometimes I look at
online reviews. Why would you trust an online review? And
(14:37):
you know, oftentimes in trying to help, let's say a
fledgling restaurant that I think might be a really nice
place to eat, if they have a website or they
you know, they've got a little QR code or something,
I might leave.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
A small review. But why would you trust me? Why?
Speaker 3 (14:55):
First of all, I'm not gonna put my you know,
I might put Michael or I might put you know
him Brown or something, But I mean, I mean that
kind of gives me away, because there's only one Michael
Brown in the entire world, right, I mean, nobody else
has that name. I mean, well, the one person that
did is dead now, so it doesn't make any difference.
But why would you trust an online review?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
And then, last, but not least, we have from mister Redbeard.
You see, this is what the show would be like
if we relied on the show prep of Dragon Redbeard,
who quite honestly has better show prep based on what
he tells me about his personal life before the beginning
of the show than the crap he leaves on the
(15:39):
console now if he told us that, which I would
love to tell you the story that he told me
this morning. But I value my life and I don't
want to end up, you know, in a gutter somewhere
with my throat slash bike Missus Redbeard.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
So I won't do that.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I just know it's quiet at home, which I'm almost
okay with.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
If you have any luck, eventually it will be quiet
at home. But since I since I've never met said
mother in law, I also think I should just remain quiet. Yes,
considering that you've at one time were actually married to
a bank robber. Yes, I'm not quite sure about other
than Missus Redbeard, whom I have met, and a door.
(16:25):
I'm not quite sure of your judgment. I mean, after all,
you you worked with me too, so true, there's a
lot of questionable judgment here that just worries me about you.
First of it's kind big nude boat set sail from Miami.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Here been to Miami dragon I do. I can't like Miami.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
We did go on a cruise. I think it may
have set sail from Miami, but I didn't stay there.
I flew in and got on the boat and left.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I'm always fascinated by when people do something that they
don't normally do, Like you're not a regular cruiser, Like
you don't every year going to cruise, right.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Wreck I have. I've done one cruise and I thoroughly
enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
You've done one.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Cruise and you thoroughly enjoyed it and you have no
idea where you disembarked for the cruise?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
True?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
How can you not know where you left from it?
Over a I know I put the representing at the
end of the sentence.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
We we did the cruise over a decade ago, so
I remember where we went.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Where did you go the Caribbean? That's like I said,
I went to the Atlantic? Where do you go in
your cruise? The Atlantic fund with pets and dolphins?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Can you name one of the Caribbean countries that you
visited that.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
You believe we went to Belize? I know that one.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Wait a minute, is Belize.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Technically in the Caribbean of the dolphins Eastern Western I
think they you don't divide it a little bit, so no, okay, sure?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Why not? All right?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
The travel company Bear Necessities teamed up with Norwegian. Norwegian
Cruise Line I aims to launch the eleven day voyage
from Miami to the Caribbean. They don't know where they're
going either. It will all take place on the two
two ninety five meter Norwegian Pearl. According to the website, prices
started at about twenty two hundred dollars per person for
(18:15):
an inside cabin. May stops in Great stir Up Bay, Bahamas,
San Juan, Puerto Rico, Phillipsburg, Saint Martin, Rousseau, Dominica, Fort
de France, Martinique and Custries Saint Lucilla. For information on
the cruise, click on this.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Link or go to Michael says go here dot com.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Course, Michael says go here dot com. Speaking of Nazis,
Joy read Joy Reid of MSNBC is in the news.
They just can't let it go.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Michael, you're so full of saint news saying that somebody
from Trenda Ragua was captured and arrested yesterday. They are
a figment of your imagination. I don't know where you
come up with this stuff. Next you're going to tell
us that the elf on the shelf comes to life
in the middle of the night and changes locations.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
He does, and it's not a figment of my imagination,
or maybe it is. I mean, who you going to believe,
the governor or the popo, the ice people that arrested them.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
So Joy Reid is yesterday, I'm reading all this stuff
about U. S a i D, which we will get to,
and I'm reading about, you know, the FBI, and how
Andy McCabe, the you know that piece of crap assistant director,
is all talking about how the FBI is in disarray
and people are running around with the heads on fire.
(19:52):
And then I happen to see a protest U S
a I D employees outside the us AID building protesting
and they can't get a crowd. They nobody's showing up.
And then I discover a story where Joy Reid is
(20:13):
talking about us AI D. But then she swerves off
into never never land. Uh, let's start out with just
kind of how she.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Starts out anyway, demanding entry and access to the computers
when the Dolage people arrived at USA and on Friday
they forced their way in and gained that access as
they have.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I mean, the picture she's paying.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Can't you imagine like Elon Musk with you know, one
of those oh what do you call them, the big
that they go banging into, you know, the swat teams
used to bang a door open, to break a door open,
And there's Elon with his son X on his on
his shoulders, and they go charge in and yelled everyboddy out, out, out,
(21:03):
out your damn bureaucrats out. I mean, that's the way
she describes it. So I assume that's the way it
happened to.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
The computers when the Doge people arrived at USA and
on Friday they forced their way in and gained that
access as they have already done. And at other offices
of the federal government, the Office of Personnel Management and
the Treasury Department, where they gained access to our social
security files and the contents of everything everyone working for
(21:29):
the federal government put into their job applications and their
applications for security clearances, their financial information, personal information, information
about their families and more. All.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
How would you keep in that mind because we're gonna
talk about that too, because she's not exactly telling you
the truth about this either.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Well, that private data is now in the hands of
people that you didn't vote for and didn't give permission
to have it.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Well, I find that interesting because if she's upset that
our private data, including our Social Security numbers and everything else,
is in the hands of people that we did not elect,
then hasn't that always been true? Because I don't think now.
(22:14):
I may be wrong, you know, I forget things occasionally,
and I'm not sometimes I'm just not quite certain. But
I don't recall ever in the two hundred years that
I've personally been voting, I don't ever remember looking on
(22:34):
the ballot and voting for, say, an IRS employee. I
don't ever remember voting for a USAID employee. I don't
ever remember voting for an FBI employee. I don't ever
remember voting for any employees of the bureaucracy. I've voted
for a president and a vice president. Well, actually, I
(22:56):
take that back. I've technically voted for electors for a
president and vice uh, and they didn't assume office. I mean,
they assume their electoral college office. But then they went
ahead in on my behalf voted for the candidate that
they were representing. So joy, I don't think you ever
(23:16):
you've ever voted for a bureaucrat in your life either effectively.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Elon Musk an unelected billionaire oligarch.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Now hm unelected billionaire oligarch. Okay, let's see how I mean.
You're you're pretty good putting words together.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Has access to the personal data of millions, really tens
of billions of Americans and the data of his have
his competitors, his business competitors, giving his companies an unprecedented
advantage in their existing and likely future lucrative government contracts
(23:53):
while they develop and exploit AI technologies.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
That was you voted for, the Office.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Of Personnel Management has been completely taken over by Elon's cronies.
Elon forced out the head of the Federal Aviation Administration
and the highest ranking career official at the Treasury Department.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Wow is really? I mean?
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Remember I think Trump told us one time that you know,
settled down, Elon, I'm the president, not you. But comparison
appears to me that we've now Trump is irrelevant.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Elon Musk is doing everything.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Derek Lebrick who reportedly resigned after refusing to hand Musk
lackeys the keys to the government's entire payment system and
the six trillion dollars in payments for the system processes
every year.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Wait, real quick, can I jump in here real quick?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Hold, it's six trillion. Our budget is like four trillion.
We're paying out to individuals six trillion. Wow, we got
real problems, Yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
She seems very concerned that Elon Musk would have your
personal information, say like banking account information. Didn't Elon Musk
start PayPal. He's already got that information, you ding bat.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
And now if you want to have the you know
you used to be you got the blue check mark
on X on Twitter at the time because you were
a notable personality. Now you pay for it. You pay
whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
You willingly gave him.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
And you give him that credit card number or that
bank account number so that they can process that payment,
so you can get your little blue check mark.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Yeah, but hey, I bet Joy's on TikTok too, and
I bet Joy's giving all of her information to the
Chinese Communist Party.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
But that you know, and it's not just Elon Some
of these so called doge officials, including people barely out
of college. And I cannot stress this enough. Report to
these private individuals, not to the American people.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Well the way, can I just comment? I know you
can't see it, but I want you to imagine it.
What's with wearing ear rings that are the size of
tire rims and.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
You can't see it? It's up at Michael saysco here
dot com.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Yeah, what would you just go take a look at
that and explain to me why you're wearing It's either
steering steering wheels as ear rings or tire rims as
ear rings. And they're as big, not bigger than her
bald head.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
We know very little about them, but some appear to
have connections to fellow white South African oligarch Peter Teal
Jadie Vance's sole former employer. Over the past two weeks,
which kind of feels like it's been two years, we
have learned just how fragile our democracy is and how
relatively easy it is for someone who's determined and really
well funded to steal and corrupt it. If you are
(27:04):
going to write a playbook for how to steal a
democracy in less than twenty days, it would sure look
a lot like this. Let's bringing Vonon Hilliard, White House,
correspondent for NBC News for the Latest. I want to
start with this question.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Of what a fu Yeah, we don't care about that,
but Joey decided she makes us stunning. I do mean stunning.
Two and a half minute direct comparison of Donald Trump two.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Eighty years ago today, Stalin's Red Army walked through the
gates of Auschwitz and uncovered the true inhumanity and evil
of the Nazi regimes. Millions of men, women and children murdered,
thousands more star beaten, humiliated and robbed of their dignity.
The extermination of Jewish people, polls, Roma, Soviet prisoners of war,
(27:54):
gay people, and others was no secret.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
It happened in broad daylight.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
But how did he do it well?
Speaker 4 (28:01):
With the support of millions of ordinary Germans who just
wanted Germany to be great again and business leaders who
initially thought they could control him, plus a caadre of
devout political allies willing to do whatever he said for
the sake of power. A new piece by The Atlantic
lays out how Hitler ended a German democracy and installed
a dictatorship.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
With blinding speed.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
And entirely constitutional measures. In that period, Hitler emerged emboldened
after being imprisoned for staging a coup. His rage and
xenophobia gained followers after the financial ruin of World War
One and the Great Depression, and helped get him selected
as Chancellor. Once in power, he moved with shock and off,
imprisoning his liberal opposition, abolishing states' rights and imposing bans on.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Left wing newspapers.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
He fueled German public outrage by blaming European Jews for
Germany's problems. Notably, he and his Minister of Public Enlightenment
and Propaganda, Joseph Goebels, launched a mass propaganda campaign that
labeled Jews as carriers of deadly diseases and violent terrorists.
Defeating the Jews of Europe, who they viewed as subhuman,
(29:10):
was a question of good conquering evil, which conditioned millions
of Germans to celebrate Hitler and turn a blind eye
to his brutality. That sounds vaguely familiar. That's because it
is similar. Similarities to what happened in Germany and what's
happening now in America are just undeniable. History may not
repeat verbatim.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
But it sure does rhyme.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Trump and Stephen Miller, his former director of speech writing,
depict non white immigrants as carriers of deadly diseases who
are violent terrorists. Trump was returned to the presidency after
staging a coup and has exerted control of media or
social media in order to parrot anti immigrant vitriol and
openly hateful anti LGBTQ language, which is what menagist did.
(29:55):
And then there are the business leaders who pay him,
fund him, and to think they can control him.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Two minutes thirty seconds of Joy Reid unmistakably unequivocally comparing
Donald Trump's election and his first what we're now two weeks,
two weeks into office. Compare you that to Hitler's first
fifty three days in office, and Trump is Hitler. That's
(30:27):
all they've got.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Change is rough.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Change is difficult, particularly when you've been controlling the levers
of government for decades and your Marxist policies are beginning
to be shown for what they are suddenly. Well, the
only thing you have left is compare Trump to Hitler.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Good grief, Michael and Dragon.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Those idgits on the view can fight me and everyone
else who disagrees with them jackasses.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
Just for clarification, that was joy read, not Joy. They
are they all sound the same, Yeah, and they all
and they do, they all parent each other. It's it's absurd.
But I want you stop and think for a minute
about this whole thing about your personal information, your name, address,
birth date, social security number, spouse, his name, your financial information.
(31:26):
Think of all the places that have that, because I
did yesterday. Because for me, based on my previous life,
my information is in the hands of people that I
quite frankly wish it wasn't in the hands of But
nonetheless they they have it, and they and they and
(31:48):
I know for a fact, not really going to explain
to you why I know it to be a fact,
but I do know for a fact that it still exists,
primarily because of my security clearances. But for me, without
even getting into just somebody that's not been in my
position before, the CIA has.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
All of my data everything. I mean, you start with
the S F fifty. I think it's SF eighty six
or fifty six.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I forget the.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Name of the document that you fill out for your clearances,
or even for for my two presidential nominations, I filled
out everything going back to the age of eighteen years
of age, places, lived, jobs, I had anything that I
(32:43):
was involved in, you know, investments, financial businesses, everything, every
single thing. And then the FBI did a full field
FBI investigation. They went to old neighbors, knocked on doors,
asked all sorts of questions. All those documents still exist.
The CIA has all my information, the NSA has my information.
(33:05):
The Department of Homeland Security has all my information, the
FBI has my information, The Defense Intelligence Agency has all
my information. The White House has all my information. And
when I talk about all my information, I'm not talking
about just all the stuff on you know, the the data.
I'm talking about the biometric data too.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
They know about your ingrown toenail, they know.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
About my ingrown toenails, they know about my you know,
stinky farts, they know about my you know, every thing
you can possibly imagine, surgeries.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I've had everything. But now think.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
About just the average person, your employer. Think about all
the information your employer has on you, well, the information
your doctor has on you. O. But Michael, that's protected
by HIPPA. Well, then you're really stupid if you think
that information is protected. It's not the hospital lawyers, the
tech giants. Oh but Michael, what did you sign up for?
(33:58):
And what do you do when you play a stupid
game on Facebook? Heal the stupid games like what kind
of animal am I? You're basically taking a personality test
that tells them everything about al On?
Speaker 2 (34:08):
What do you think about and you remember from a
few years ago that target breach.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
The target breach, the OPM breach.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
I mean, how often do you get an email about, Hey,
we discovered six months ago a data breach and we thought,
you know, six months later we ought to.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Tell you about it.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
If you have the IRS, do you file a tax return,
if you have a passport the State Department? Do you
have a TSA preach check or do you have a
global entry? Then DHS has that? What about all your
past employers? What about the credit reporting agencies? And then
what's out there on the dark web? And you're concerned
(34:46):
about Listen, I'm concerned about privacy and you should be too.
But don't let these numb and ups convince you that
somehow that what Elon Musk and the Department of Government
Efficiency those are trying to do, or that somehow this
is all you know, something New No, there was a
(35:06):
story I read yesterday Kroger, you know, King Soopers. They're
working with and I forget the company. They're working with
a company to do facial recognition so that as your shopping,
as you're going up and down the grocery store, there
will be prices of you know, green beans that I
(35:27):
might get for oh, I don't know, a dollar forty
nine a can, but DRAGON might get them for I
don't know, a dollar twenty nine a can, based solely
on your facial recognition, your past purchase history, and the
financial data that they have that they can get from
all of the credit reporting agency and everybody else. Yes,
(35:49):
it's a brave new world for certain
