Speaker 1 (00:00):
To night. Michael Brown joins me here, the former FEMA
director of talk show host Michael Brown. Brownie, no, Brownie,
You're doing a heck of a job the Weekend with
Michael Brown. Hey, welcome to the Weekend with Michael Brown.
Happy Easter everyone. I hope everyone has a glorious Easter.
That you understand me. For all the Christians in the
audience and for those of you who are kind of wondering,
you know why Christians, why this is such an important holiday,
(00:23):
Well go look it up. Go look it up. It
is the holiest of holy holidays for Christians. I hope
everyone has a wonderful time with family, friends, hour if
you celebrate Easter. Alexander Solzhenitson one time observed this, evil
(00:44):
people always support each other because that is their strength.
Evil people always support each other. That's their strength. So
to find an example, you can choose any random supporter
of Carmelo Anthony. Every time I hear the word the
(01:06):
name Carmelo Anthony, I think Carmelo the basketball player used
to be from Denver. But anyway, Carmelo Anthony, he's that
young thug who's been showered with money by all these
leftists for allegedly and in front of dozens of witnesses,
murdering a white high school student, Austin Metcalf down Dallas.
(01:30):
A spokesman for the family Dominique Alexander is kind of
particularly conspicuous. According to one website, Alexander a Dallas based
defund the police activist and a social justice leader. Well,
for me, that's all I need to know right there.
(01:51):
I can just thought that's all I need to know
about this guy. But anyway, let me tell you what
the paragraph says. Alexander. This is the spokesperson for the
family of Carmelo Anthony. Alexander, Dallas based defund the police
activist and a social justice leader, has been in the
headlines in recent days as he and his organization, Next
(02:15):
Generation Action Network sounds like, you know, Reverend Sharpton's National
Action Network, have been rallying in defense of the seventeen
year old Carmelo Anthony, the teenager who is accused of
fatally stabbing metcalf and Anthony himself. Now, what's what's the
(02:35):
objective of a defund the police activist? I mean, it
kind of fines itself, doesn't it. Well, it's to dismantle
in a broader sense. It's to dismantle not just law enforcement,
but in dismantling law enforcement, it's to dismantle civilization so
(02:56):
that savages and thugs can just inflict mayhem uh without
any inconvenience. They just have they they've got the they got.
The whole world is their oyster to go out and destroy.
To give you an example of how vile these people are,
(03:18):
Alexander hosted a press conference this past week on Thursday
and slammed the father of the victim for being a
disrespect to the dignity of his son. And you know why,
because he showed up to the press conference that he
was not invited to all. According to Alexander, I don't
(03:40):
know whether he was invited to the press conference or not.
I'm not sure that this is the same father who
who almost immediately responded by forgiving his son's killer. I'm
not sure I would have been able to do that.
But nonetheless, he shows up for the press conference. His
name is Metcalf. Now, mister Metcalf didn't respond by pulling
(04:06):
a knife. In contrast, Anthony showed up. The thug that
killed his son showed up and invited uninvited in the
wrong ten at a truck meat and killed his son
Austin because his son Austin had asked him Alexander to
leave here in the wrong tent, go out now. I
(04:26):
want to insert a footnote here that says there may
have been racial overtones. I've not been able to confirm
one way or the other, but many of the stories
I've read have led me to believe that there may
be some intimation that there was some racial overtones between
the white kids in this tent and Carmelo, who showed
(04:51):
up in supposedly the wrong tent. I didn't know there
was a right tint and a wrong ten at a
truck meat. I know teens have their own tents. There's
a day loge coming down. You go to your team's tent,
and if your team's tint you happen to be far away,
you go into somebody else's ten for a while. I
don't think that justifies either asking that person to leave
(05:13):
or even saying, hey, do leave, And it certainly doesn't
justify killing the person who ask you to leave. But
if you go to Alexander, now remember he's he's the
perpetrator here. If you go to his ex and Facebook accounts.
You'll find that he and this National Generation or Next
(05:35):
Generation Action network actually played a very pivotal role in
helping mobilize on behalf of Corey bush her winning campaigns
in twenty twenty and twenty twenty two. Corey Bush one
of the most radical left wing congressmen in the entire country.
(05:58):
Now people can't help but understand what they're voting for
when they vote for left wing Democrats. Also unsurprising is
Alexander's criminal record. I know you haven't heard about it.
It includes felony family violence charges after he allegedly tried
to strangle his longtime partner Kiara Saunders. Alexander also served
(06:23):
two days in jail after pleading guilty to a felony
theft case according to The Dallas Express back in twenty
twenty one. But that's not it. In twenty sixteen, Alexander,
remember this is the spokesperson and supposedly the lawyer. I'm
not convinced that they usually the lawyer yet, but he's
at least the spokesperson for the family. He was sentenced
to two years in prison for repeatedly violating this probation.
(06:46):
That's according to Fox ten Out of Phoenix. Then there's
another local report from two thousand and nine that details
how Alexander was arrested for allegedly causing serious head injuries
to his then girl friend's two year old son while
he was a babysitting him. Scum back, Uh, that was
(07:09):
an editorial comment Alexander, according to this. Again, according to
Fox ten out of Phoenix, Alexander initially told the police
and his then girlfriend that the young boy had fallen
off the couch while he was in the other room,
but the doctor dismissed the claim amid an examination of
the young boy in the intensive care unit. That's according
(07:30):
to the Dallas Observer. Then the Dallas Observer continued by
reporting that Alexander had admitted shaking the child and that
the judge had charged him with the first degree felony.
Then the Observer adds this in their story. Not long
after he was arrested for an injury to a child
causing severe bodily harm, he got into trouble for forging
(07:52):
a check, leading the cops on a high speed chase,
stealing a car, and then falsely claiming that a car
was stolen. I guess you can kind of see why
this so called spokesperson was really heavily involved in the
black Black Lives Matter movement and in particular skill of
(08:12):
eradicating local law enforcement by simply defunding cops. Other lefties
will now do their part to support to support Carmelo Anthony,
remember he's the perpetrator by now swatting his family's home.
Frisco police, this is also in Texas, responded to a
(08:33):
report of a gunshot at the slain teen Austin Metcalff's
family's home this past Thursday. Officers determined that no shooting
had occurred. According to Fox four, police described the incident
as a swatting, which is a false report intended to
trigger an emergency response and hopefully get somebody killed. That's
the real purpose of swatting. It's a real favorite tactic
(08:57):
among these crazy, dumbass lefties. The objective is you terrorize
those regarded as your political adversaries in the full knowledgeeness
hope that somebody could get killed. And it's only used
on the left because of the moral caliber that's required
(09:17):
to apply it. Well, that's evil people's strength number one.
What about evil people's strength number two? That's next. This
is a weekend with Michael Brown. You will send me
a text message the numbers three three one zero three
keyword Mike or Michael. Go follow me on X go
do that right now on exits at Michael Brown USA.
Be right back. Hey, welcome back to the Weekend with
(09:46):

I said earlier in the program, I left for Chicago.
I had to speak at the University of Chicago Institute
of Politics on Tuesday. So I fight Chicago on Monday,
(10:33):
and of course I go pig out on Chicago food
on Monday night, and then Tuesday I'm on the University
of Chicago campus because I this is the other part
of evil that I want to talk about. I'm convinced
(10:54):
that with the exception of obviously Hillsdale College, and perhaps
there are others that I'm just not aware of, that
you may be able to point to me and say, oh,
this may not be quite on the same level of
a Hillsdale, but this is also a good objective. Maybe
(11:16):
right of center school where you know, mush brain kids
are actually taught critical thinking skills. They're actually taught the
basics of science, reading, mathematics, they're taught basic civics, you know,
most of the things you should learn in high school.
But I digress. But I've become convinced because of what
(11:39):
I observed on the University of Chicago campus. And I
know it's Chicago, but I don't think it's any different
than many other colleges or universities around the country. And
I know that's a generalization, but I was dumbfounded by
you know, they always have on telephone polls, on the
(12:02):
light poles, on anything they can put a sticker on.
There's a sticker about, you know, a concert or a
meeting or whatever it is that you know, students are
trying to get people to attend or trying to bring
awareness of whatever it may be. But there was a
simple I would say, four by eight white label handwritten everywhere,
(12:32):
two words, and the lettering was imagine the word is
spelled vertically, and then the next word is next to it,
spelled vertically. And the two words were free Luigi Luigi Mangion,
(12:55):
the cold blooded killer of the CEO of United Healthcare. Now,
I don't care what you think about United Healthcare. I
had United Healthcare here at iHeart, I think one time,
and I thought it was awful. I never really thought
about trying to track down the CEO of United Healthcare
(13:15):
because I was having a difficult time getting a claim
paid or whatever it might be. Or I didn't have
I don't like Luigi Mangion, and I didn't have any
I didn't have any business with the United Healthcare at all.
I've never really thought about, you know, getting mad, because
sometimes I get mad. Sometimes I get mad, like at
Walgreens because I have to have a prescription field this
(13:36):
this happened to me just this past fall. So I'm
going to Hawaii for a week and I know I'm
going to run out of a particular medication. So I
go and I'm like can I get this filled early?
And because it's the controlled substance, it's like it's some
of my sleep medication. It's like, no, we can't do it.
I'm like, are you why? Well, because it's three or
four days early, I'm like, let me speak to the pharmacist.
(13:59):
You tell me that I can't get three or four days.
I mean I eventually get it. Don't get me wrong.
I eventually got it, but the extent I had to
go through to get it was absurd. I got the medication,
I was still pissed off at Walgreens. Did I ever
think about going out to my car and getting a
gun and coming back in and killing the pharmacists? No?
(14:20):
Do you ever think about tracking down the CEO of
Walgreens and assassinating him the ham or her, whoever it
is in the back? No, never crossed my mind. But
on the University of Chicago, everywhere I turned, I know
it could be the actions of one individual, but thousands
of people are seeing it. Free Luigi. Why because he
(14:41):
did something good? That's how depraved and evil there is
in our society. Well, Kent State University ranks up there
right now too. I know Kent State's probably best known
as the site of the National Guard, those four anti
(15:01):
war demonstrators way back in nineteen seventy, way back in
the dark ages of nineteen seventy, and then Crosby still's
a Nash writing a song about it. The tradition of
violence continues. The problem is, or maybe the accept that
nowadays all politically tinged violence seems to come from those
(15:24):
so called tolerant liberals. There is, or there was, I'm
not sure that it's still there today. A huge rendering
of Donald Trump's bloody head floating with a pike through
the middle featured on the public university campus alongside this
shocking sentiment quote we only have to get lucky once.
(15:50):
The photo of it is astonishing in the context of
two recent assassinations attempt and any number of assassination plots
against Donald Trump. That is an unequivocally clear call to
violence that is being amplified by a taxpayer supported state school. Now,
(16:14):
Kent State initially refused to remove the display, but they
did finally agree to take it down. Now, how mut
you try to imagine a similar image displayed on campus
featuring let's go back to the University of Chicago and
let's Imagine the same image, except it's the head of
Barack Obama on a sphere, on a spear, claiming that
(16:40):
you only have to be you only have to be
on target once, you only have to be right once.
Imagine that happening on the University of Chicago campus during
his presidency. I don't think he can be any more
obvious which side comprises the bad guys. I didn't think
(17:02):
that there would come a time when I would equate now.
I've always don't get don't get me wrong. I've always
equated the Democrats with progressivism, and have always associated progressivism
with Marxism or socialism or communism, because that's the ultimate
outcome of progressive style politics. That is the path that
(17:25):
Woodrow Wilson set us upon and which we are culminating
in now with the Marxism and the communism we see everywhere,
but also the violence and the acceptance of violence as
some way to resolve differences, and it comes from the left. Democrats,
(17:49):
You've got a problem and you need to fix it.
It's the weekend with Michael Brown. Texta word, Michael Michael Eedelman,

for Michael D. Brown. Michael D. Brown. So, Yesterday Friday,
(18:54):
the Department of the Interior under Secretary Doug Bergham began
sliciting public input into a or for a new five
year offshore oil and gas leasing program to run from
twenty twenty five through twenty thirty, aiming to quote maximize
energy development. Now. The plan could include new zones in
(19:18):
the Arctic, and other previously restricted areas such as parts
of the Atlantic and the Pacific were which those were
excluded in the existing five year plan for twenty twenty
four through twenty twenty nine. That period was published back
in late twenty twenty three by the Biden bureaucrats. Now,
(19:41):
if you've listened to me for any length of time
at all, you're aware that those restricted areas were included
in Biden's January move to try to permanently set them
off limits to leasing, because he knew that when Trump
came in that Trump would reopen them, so he tried
to permanently restrict any sort of drilling in those areas
(20:04):
for any time in the near future. Well, Doug Bergham
said through that we're going to open them back up.
His order also included the Eastern Gulf of America among
the massive six hundred and twenty five million acres of
US offshore that that order now targeted. So all that's
(20:24):
been opened back up now doesn't mean they're going to
immediately start drilling, but it means that you can start
the process for leasing, and the way the oil and
gas industry works, you first go out and you have
to negotiate and get your lease, whether that's onshore offshore.
(20:44):
When you do the leases, there's a lot of negotiations involved.
People are entitled to royalties, including the US government, and
so you go through all these negotiations and then once
you get the lease in place, then you have to
fit that into yourduction schedule and your production schedule. May
be that you've got most of your capital invested already
(21:07):
in wells, you know, on shore on land, and so
you've got to wait until you've got an opening, or
you go out and borrow some money to get some
additional equipment, but then that equipment, depending on inventory, may
or may not be available, so you got to wait
for that to occur. Once you eventually get the equipment,
then you can start the drilling. And the drilling, of course,
(21:29):
can take months sometimes if not years, before you actually
start any production. But that's irrelevant because what this opening
of these leases means is that the idea that we
are going to continue to be the dominant producer of
energy on this planet is being pursued both by the
(21:52):
Department of Energy under Chris Wright and the Department of
Interior under Doug Bergham, this isn't all in a pro
coach to energy. One of the things that, in fact,
I think I have it with me. One of the
things excuse me by excuse me while I reach. One
of the things that I was fascinated with while I
(22:14):
was in Chicago was running across the story in the
Chicago Tribune. Yep, I got it. I've got it right here,
the Chicago Tribune, of all places, on the editorial page.
So this isn't This isn't in house editorial, house editorial.
It's time to lift Illinois moratorium on new nuclear plants,
(22:36):
but that policy change alone won't solve our looming electric shortage.
The editor's right, Illinois generates more atomic energy than any
other US state. I did not know that, and the
nuclear plants keep the lights on in the Chicago area
are a great benefit to us. For nearly forty years,
the state is imposed a moratorium on the construction of
(22:57):
new nukes of the size and scale now seen in
exurban Illinois locales like Morris Marseilles. Byron embracefil with Illinois,
and I would add the United States with Illinois facing
the threat of future electricity shortages thanks to both a
spike in demand from new data centers and clean energy
(23:18):
policies mandated mandating the closure over the next decades of
fossil fueled fire plants. Revisiting this long standing policy makes sense.
It goes on to talk about how you know nuclear
energy is safe. It's abundant, incredibly reliable, and incredibly cheap,
(23:43):
and that the Chicago Tribune is calling on not just
the state but the FEDS to prioritize nuclear energy, to
streamline the permitting process, to review all the safety units.
It's truly one of the safest energies we have. We've
got the track record to show it. I know, you
(24:03):
can point to Chernobyl, you can point to you know,
three Mile Island, Fukushima, you can point to all of these.
Those are the outliers. Everything involves an accident. Nothing is
one hundred percent safe. Nuclear energy comes the closest to it.
(24:24):
So this is an all in policy that was announced
on Friday, and I think it's a it's a great
Easter gift. Now, Friday's announcement by the Department of Interior
follows their earlier directive back in April, back to the
beginning of April to hold a lease in the sale
of Gulf of America, with a proposed notice of sale
(24:47):
expected in June. Just in a couple of months. All these,
all these plans aimed to unleash American energy by opening
up more federal waters, including the six hundred and twenty
five million acres are referred to for leasing, and Burgham
emphasized that this would lower consumer costs, boost energy independence,
(25:09):
strengthen our national security by reducing reliance on foreign producers.
I would add one more thing. Yes, it really does
strengthen our national security by reducing our reliance on foreign producers,
but it also increases our national security by making our
(25:30):
allies more dependent upon us. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management,
do you know we had one of those estimates that
the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America holds about
twenty nine and a half billion barrels of oil and
fifty four point eight trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
(25:53):
It is a huge potential. But go back to the
Biden administration's plan Finalize back in December, that prioritized what
that transition to clean energy, limiting oil and gas leasing
to three GULFT sales to comply with the bare minimum
requirements laid out in that Orwellian named Inflation Reduction Act.
(26:15):
Biden's plan excluded the Atlantic to the Pacific and all
Alaskan waters, and of course, the olin gas industry yelled
and screamed, oh, this is restricting our production. Biden's plan
also supported offshore wind. It included a separate five year
win leasing schedule planning up to twelve wind lease sales.
(26:39):
And you know that Trump and Berghram were in the
midst of systematically campaigning to end the entirety of that
useless industry. God bless them for that, and I wish
them well when everything's said and done at the end
of the day, whatever cliche you want to use here,
but yesterday's and now signals is that the Trump Department
(27:03):
of Interior plans to restore normal order when it comes
to offshore oil and gas leasing, which has prevailed for
forty years before Biden took office. And that's great news
for you, It's great news for the country, and it's
great news for our energy security needs. Other good news
(27:23):
on the energy front, Bloomberg Energy writers Jennifer Gluie and
akchat rothey reported Friday again Good Friday. Good Friday news
dump on rumors that the Trump two point oh White
House is planning a move to strip some prominent climate
alarmist groups of their taxi status. I love this. On
(27:49):
Earth Day April twenty second, I get so much garbage
email from different PR firms. Hey, if you're going to
talk about Earth Day on August twenty or April twenty second,
We've got all of these people that you might want
to interview. And of course I read through it because
(28:10):
I'm always interested in you. Who are they pushing, Well,
they're pushing all the environmental wackos. They're pushing all the
activists and congregos of the Church of the Climate activists. No,
I'm not going to interview any of them. I support
this take away their tax exempt status. Now that move
would suppose, according to Bloomberg, would go after these groups,
(28:32):
most all of which organize a non political nonprofits Undersection
five ole one C three's of the tax Code. Wait
a minute, if you're a five oh one C three,
you're prohibitive from engaging in partisan political activities. Well, that's
exactly what Trump is alleging. He is alleging that all
(28:54):
of these climate alarmist groups that have a five oh
one C three tax exempt status are actually engaged in
prohibited part of some political activities, So their removal of
their five oh one C three status would be entirely
appropriate given that what they all exist as a proxy
support group for the Democrat Party's energy and climate political agenda.
(29:18):
And that's one of the worst kept secrets in our society.
We know exactly what those nonprofits are doing. They're pushing
all of the clean energy garbage now. Naturally, the Bloomberg
reporters only report anonymous sources familiar with the matter, But
wouldn't it be glorious for those words to turn out
to be accurate. I don't know about you, but I'm
(29:42):
keeping my fingers crossed and will be frankically hitting the
reload button on Tuesday, hoping for the breaking news that, yes,
on Earth Day, he strips them of their tax exempt status.
Have a happy Easter. I'll be right back once again.
(30:05):

at Michael Brown USA. So I've discovered some common ground
(31:10):
I guess you could call it between Muslims and the
Church of the Congregants in the Church of the Climate activists.
Well beyond their shared goal of destroying Western civilization, which
is what both organizations or both groups want to do.
Both of these groups Muslims and the congregants in the
(31:32):
Church of the Climate activists are hostile. De Man's best friend.
I sent a friend of mine this morning a video.
I took the dogs on their early Saturday morning walk,
which you do every Saturday morning, around five point thirty
or so in the morning. And we go on a
long walk and we come back and see it's kind
of cold and Denver this weekend, and so being the
(31:55):
big furry Liamburgers that they are, they love the cold weather.
And we get back to the house and I'm getting
prepared to come into the studio and just you know,
puttsing around the house doing stuff, and they start playing
and it catches my eye and I sit. You know,
it's one of those moments where you just you just
take it in. Here are these two lumbering giants, these
(32:19):
two gentle giants in the master bedroom, which didn't make
them spouse very happy, uh, bouncing and wrestling and climbing
over each other. The younger the Liamburgers can just literally
dive into the air and jumps up on the other one.
And I've just got I've got a smile just watching
them play. It's just pure joy. Mohammed is said to
(32:45):
have disliked dogs so much they ordered them to be killed,
and then changed his mind and declared that only black
dogs should be killed all. Haquem, a Muslim ruler of Egypt,
order the killing of all dogs in ten thousand and five.
Dogs are just considered unclean in Islam, resulting in Muslim
(33:07):
cab drivers refusing to take fares from people who require
a seeing eye dog. But now the Church of the
climate activists are in on the gig too. They've now
declared that dogs are unclean in the liberal religion. Mother Jones,
(33:27):
one of my favorite news outlets, has this headline bad
news for Man's best friend. Dogs are environmental villains. You're
dog's a villain. And here's the subhead, which I can't
read in its entirety quote, if nothing else, pick up
your own dog s word? Okay, Well at the dog park.
(33:52):
Well I even pick it up in a backyard. Twice
a week I go out and pick up the dog poop.
The story says dogs have extensive and multifarious environmental impacts,
disturbing wildlife, polluting waterways, and contributing to carbon emissions. According
to new research, an Australian review of existing studies has
(34:15):
argued that quote, the environmental impact of owned dogs is
far greater, more insidious, and more concerning than is generally recognized. Now.
What cobbed my attention in that paragraph was an owned
dog as opposed to a faral dog. What so, maybe
if I just let my dogs run wild, just take
them out and dub them somewhere Hell's bells, that ain't
(34:37):
gonna happen. So owned dogs are a far greater threat,
more insidious, and more concerning than is generally recognized. Now.
They do point out in the next paragraph that while
the environmental impact of cats is well known, the comparative
effect of pet dogs has been poorly acknowledged, according to
the researchers who are the researchers is in the Journal
(35:01):
of the Pacific Conservation Biology. It highlighted it highlights the
impacts of the world's commonest large carnivore in killing a
disturbing native wildlife, particularly shorebirds. Well, maybe you gotta teach
your dog and train your dog not to attack the
birds on the beach, like I've had to teach my
dogs not. When we're at the endisclosed location in New Mexico. Hey,
(35:25):
you can't you can't chase the wild turkey, you can't
chase the deer. Now, they don't try to chase the
mountain lion, and they don't try to chase the bear
in the United States, Mother Jones rights. That's why you
need to know. Mother Jones have found that deer, foxes,
and bobcats were less active in or avoid wilderness areas
where dogs were allowed. Okay, so the foxes and the
(35:49):
