7-5-25 The Weekend Hour 3: Cities Turning Democrat

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
To night, Michael Brown joins me here, the former FEMA
director talk show host Michael Brown. Brownie, no, Brownie, You're
doing a heck of a job. The Weekend with Michael
Brown broadcasting live from an undisclosed location the sangral To
Crystal Mountains of northern New Mexico. It's the Weekend with
Michael Brown. Glad to have you joining the program today.

And if you want to follow me on social media,
which I'm on Instagram and Facebook, but most active on
x it's at Michael Brown USA, at Michael Brown USA.

(00:42):
Have you ever thought, I think about this a lot. Colorado,
for example, let me just use my home state of
Colorado as an example. Colorado has turned decidedly blue. It's
horribly blue. We've become in many ways, worse than California,

(01:03):
worse than New York, worse than Illinois. And that's saying
a lot. And it's happened in the span of ten
or fifteen years, just wham bam, thank you, mam boom,
suddenly we're blue and you can see it everywhere. Well,
why Because when I travel around Colorado, if I get
beyond what's called the Front Range, which is an area

(01:25):
along I twenty five from about all the Wyoming border
down to say Pueblo in the southern part of the state,
all running along the Front Range mountains, that's where the
majority of the Colorado population lives. And they are decidedly
with a few pockets here and there, they are decidedly Democrat.

(01:49):
Where I'm at in northern New Mexico right now, New
Mexico is a blue state. But where I am physically sitting,
in this particular county, it is decidedly red. But if
you go just south two or three hours to Santa
Fe or to Albuquerque, if you go to Santa Fe County,

(02:09):
or you go to bernallee O County, it is decidedly blue,
and it turns the rest of the state blue. Why
is that? Why is it that many states that are
in pockets decidedly red nonetheless end up voting decidedly blue.
You might ask this question, why do cities vote Democrat?

(02:33):
Why do they vote Democrat? And I think let's use
Texas as an example, because Texas is a state. And
if you're listing in Texas, I bet I bet a
dollar to a donut. You believe this that Texas will
never go blue? Well, my golly, we will secede from
the Republic, will secede and rise again. Don't mess with Texas.

(02:57):
All of the brook mines that you Texans talk about
all the time. I'm looking at a map right now,
a county map of Texas. And if I if I
pull away, if I get far away from the map,
it's hard to see. But when I get close, oh,

(03:19):
there are splotches of blue. And you know where they are.
If you live in Texas, Dallas, Fort Worth, the metro
plexus they call it, is blue, beautiful blue. You get
to San Antonio, you get to Austin, you get to
Harris County, particular Houston, you get to El Paso, you

(03:43):
get to Brownsville, you get down to the southern tip
of Texas, and suddenly you realize, wow, I wonder what
the population is in those states. So even in a
thirteen point seven percent Trump stampede in which Harris won,

(04:04):
just twelve out of two hundred and fifty four counties.
Pretty much any town or any city in Texas bigger
than Abilene voted blue. For example, Trump won Tarrant County,
fort Worth still blue. Trump won that county. The same
for a Plano in nearby Collin County, and especially true

(04:25):
in the big urban monstrosities of Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio,
which are located within counties that Kamala Harris won but
by much smaller margins than Joe Biden did in a
fiasco of that quasi so called election in twenty twenty.
Why is it that these cities and I same thing

(04:48):
in California you could look at the same kind of
if you look at a color coded map red versus
blue in California, you would say you would see the
same thing along the coast San Francisco, go down to
La down to San Diego, a few splotches, you know,
when you get into the inland area. The same as
true in Illinois, Cook County, Chicago, you get into New

(05:10):
York obviously in New York City, you get into Massachusetts.
Even in Poro, Massachusetts, Boston and Cambridge in that area
decidedly blue. You get out into the hinterlands. Not I mean,
it's still blue, but not quite as much population density

(05:31):
will drive voters to vote Democrat. Think about a natural consideration.
The modern version of the other Republican Party, at least
in terms of our policy positions, really aligns with the
Jeffersonian view of the world. Jefferson famously said that quote,

(05:54):
when we get piled upon one another in large cities,
as they do in Europe, we shall become as corrupt
as Europe. Close quote. That's what's happening here. But one
of the reasons I love coming down to New Mexico
on the weekends is because I get into this rural area.

(06:17):
It's like driving into the rural areas of Colorado. Whether
it's in the mountains or it's out on the eastern plains.
It's just an entirely different attitude, an entirely different approach
Conservative Republicans. Now, I'm a conservative Republican, but I live
in an urban area. But I grew up in a
rural area. And I value property rights, I value individual freedom.

(06:42):
I value the beauty of just being left alone. Don't
bug me, and I won't bug you, And I don't
want the government to handle everything. I think many, if most,
everything is handled better in the private sector, with maybe
the exception of the military and national defense and perhaps
border security. Everything else is pretty much better left to
local governments, or to individuals, or to the private sector.

(07:07):
But guess what the opposite is true the minute you
get into an urban area where voters vote for the
party that promises the most investment in shared resources, our
community programs, and of course infrastructure, and naturally who's that.
That's the Democrats. So while Republicans are wanting to save

(07:28):
money and not wasting the large contracts. You know, for
those of you who listen to me locally, you know,
I bitch about how much Denver is turned into a
craphole city. We have failing infrastructure, we have horrible roads.
It is a filth is turning into a filthy, dirty city.

(07:49):
You know why, because Democrats promote public spending that is
not the priority of conservatives. Think subways, for example, Hawaiian
trains to nowhere, metro bus transport systems, or anything else

(08:10):
designed to ease the congestion found in cities, which sounds
really good to voters who think they're getting it for free,
or they're actually getting it free, but at your expense.
So as areas expand in population and they become more
densely packed, even moderate voters begin to drift to the left.

(08:32):
And that is why, again, going back to Texas, if
you recall the twenty eighteen Senate race, Ted Cruz did
better with those who had recently moved to Texas versus
those who had been there for a long time. The
Californians were moving into Texas, were looking for some sort
of Republican paradise. The locals were getting increasingly crowded in

(08:55):
and were then able to be pitched on urban planning
in formally torch red re publican suburbs. But as they
get more and more crammed in, they start turning to oh, well,
it's kind of like socialism. People who tell me, you know,
young people who well, we just we've never done socialism right,

(09:16):
And socialism to them doesn't mean the same thing that
socialism does to you or me. For for the modern
era socialists, it's all about free and I'd like to
use the S word, but I can't. It's about getting
free pieces. Republicans can and should never compete with Democrats

(09:41):
on freebies, on handouts. We ought to be saying as
much as we can everywhere we can, that we'll let
you keep more of your money. Because the Democrats are
always saying they don't say in these terms. What they're
really saying is here's somebody else's money. That's what Margaret Thatcher,
the problem with socialis is that eventually you run out
of other people's money. Oh pm. The same goes for

(10:04):
the clinics Democrats promised to set up for health screens
or anything else in which the party can position itself
as being for the people. They're not for the people.
They're for power and control. And that happens in urban areas.

(11:06):
six ninety six rights Mike. Where were you when in
science class they showed you the experiment where they had
some nice not terrarium. They started with a few, increased
the number until for no reason at all, they started
killing each other. I think that's a great analogy to
urban areas, and in addition to just the look, I

(11:32):
even though I love urban areas, but I want urban
areas to be molded in MI image what I believe in,
you know, free enterprise, free markets. Want I want them
to be clean. I want them I want I want
to actually see law and order. I want to see
the rule of law enforced. And if you want to
be and need to be, uh not if you want

(11:55):
to be, because if you just want to be the
tough cookies, but if you need to be on the
social safety net, then you ought to really truly have
a need to be on that social safety net. And
we don't have things like sanctuary city sanctuary states where
we just invite people to just break the law and
come in and we'll just provide you all these goodies
because that's my money, that's your money. We work hard

(12:18):
for it, and we ought to be able to. You know,
I firmly believe because we're such a giving country that
if we just eliminated now, we couldn't do it cold turkey,
although maybe we should. If we just eliminated all the
social safety net and said, if you feel sorry for
poor people, people who through no fault of their own,

(12:40):
cannot take care of themselves, or people who have, for
whatever reason, have found themselves in a homeless situation, if
you want to help them, then you need to do
that through a community organization, through a church, through a synagogue,
through you know, some business organization, some charity. I think
it would flourish because Americans always give. If we realized

(13:06):
how much we give through forced taxation and realized we
could take that same money and we could choose that
for example, I maybe I have a particular type of disability,
disability that I want to support. You have a different disability,
or you have a different group or a different type

(13:27):
of charity that you want to give to. I think
if we eliminated it and said it's up to individuals,
I think Americans would do that I think we would
rise to the occasion. But because we don't know where
our tax dollars go, we don't care. And we've been
taught that somehow it's the government's responsibility to take care
of all those people. And the more we can zeal

(13:47):
into these urban areas, the more that Democrats get control.
And when you know, it happened just just as is
happening with Californians in the early nineties, the same thing
happened with Californians moving to Colorado, and then Democrats saw
an opportunity and took advantage of it and turned us blue.

(14:12):
And that happened in the urban areas. Now, let's talk
about the free feces. We never say we will let
you keep more of your money and let you decide
what you want to do with it. The Democrats always
come to you and they say it. They don't say
it this way, but they should. Hey, here's somebody else's money.
Here go you, this is for you. Oh where'd you

(14:33):
get that? Well, we took it. We took it from
Michael Brown, we took it from his listeners. Oh how'd
you do that? The gun at a gunpoint? You don't
think they took your taxes at gunpoint, try to refuse
paying your taxes. Oh, Michael, we have a voluntary tax system. Okay,
well go go, try just volunteer not to pay your

(14:54):
taxes and tell me how far you get with that.
That's tax evasion and that'll land you in jail. But
let's talk about minority populations for a moment. So we
got the urban area phenomenon, we got the free stuff phenomenon,
and then we have minority populations. As we learn in

(15:15):
the most recent New York primary with the election of
that communist, socialist Marxist MNDAMI, New York City is barely
thirty percent non Hispanic white. Now. As Bob Dillon said,
while times are changing and Democrats are losing hold of
some of their massive minority margins, it's not exactly rocket

(15:37):
science for me to tell you minorities are not as
Republicans as whites. Party identification goes a long way with
the population density in persuading minorities to vote for their
own forced poverty, that's what Democrats do. Democrats need poverty,

(15:58):
Democrats need dependency. When minority populations set up ethnic enclaves
and they're not forced to assimilate well, it's really easy
for Democrats to pitch racism on every corner to discourage
anybody from breaking away from what's really the modern plantation.
So as white voters move away from cities, that goes

(16:22):
into overdrive, as if it were some law of physics,
a law of nature. Men, you have the magnet effect
every state, every single state. I don't care, even Oklahoma.
All seventy seven counties in Oklahoma are decidedly read. Oklahoma
City and Tulsa, the two urban areas in that state,

(16:45):
decidedly read. If you look at a county map of
the entire United States, the one state with maybe the
I think the exception of West Virginia is one hundred
percent read. So with the exception of Oklahoma and parts
of Oklahoma City have these collection of weirdos and left
wing radicals. Even Wyoming and Idaho did. But they don't

(17:09):
feel at home in a place like Vendera County, Texas.
But they sure don't mind packing up the prius and
occupying some little tiny apartment in Austin, whereas Travis County,
which contains Metro Austin, used to simply be the Sea
of Texas. Government had kind of an artsy, f artsy
vibe south by Southwest. It's now a seventy to thirty

(17:32):
Democrat monstrosity that is essentially the San Francisco Bay Area
recreated in Texas all the way down, including big tech
and the nasty white liberalism that you find there and
from which many people fled California and then re established
it in Texas. The magnet effect. It brings in the artisans,

(17:55):
the foodies, the hedonists, the recreational drug users, and those
concerned with their everything but making sure that American remain
sovereign for future generations. Tonight, Michael Brown joins me here,
the former FEMA director talk show host Michael Brown. Brownie, no, Brownie,

and the weekend program. So real, quickly, let me just
wrap up, and I want to move on to some
other stories. So clearly there's more than just five reasons
that urban areas are blue, especially in the cities themselves. However,

(19:26):
those reasons that I just went through the fact that
you have population density which is driving voters to the left.
You know, Jefferson was right. We are not intended to
be piled on top of one another. Now, don't get
me wrong. I love cities, and I love visiting cities,
and I live in a suburb of a major American city.

(19:49):
But what do I prefer where I'm sitting right now
in rural New Mexico, where you know, closest neighbor is
five or ten miles away. But that's just me. Free stuff,
free stuff. If if you feed the stray cat, the
cat's gonna tell the other cats, and pretty soon you're

(20:09):
gonna have a whole bunch of stray cats. Minority populations
are kept on the plantation by government programs where they
go set up their little ethnic enclaves. They're not forced
to assimilate, and then Democrats pitch racism to them, and
so they believe that they get outside their neighborhood that
everybody's racist. We are not a racist nation. Do we

(20:32):
have racism in our past, absolutely, But I don't believe
as a whole this country is racist. I know there
are bigots. I you know, I run into bigots all
the time, but that doesn't mean that the country as
a whole is bigoted. There's the magnet effect. Lights attract lights,

(20:54):
and so you've got just like we have in Colorado,
we got Boulder, Well, New Mexico, Santa Fe, all the
beautiful people in Santa Fe. Texas has Austin. Every state
has those places where likes attract and alike, and I
call that the magnet effect. And then of course you

(21:15):
have the fifth one, urban corruption and election rigging. Yes,
whether you believe it or not, election rigging occurs. But
there are lots of reasons why urban areas are blue.
You know, the ultra conservative, evangelical lean of the Republican

(21:37):
grass roots, while effective on the twenty twenty four Trump map,
does not play well in the cities which feature a
less religious population that doesn't need wide open spaces and
concessions for a rural lifestyle, and is now matched for
the urban ballot collection apparatus made possible with all this

(21:57):
modern data and technological sophistication, I can only conclude that
despite what you think of Rudy Giuliani, and I think
poor Rudy's had some tough times. He's gotten sucked in
some really bad situations. But the Giuliani method, going hard

(22:17):
on crime, cleaning up the mess, staying out of people's
private lives is the only way to begin seeing change
at the city level. But we also have to clean
up our elections. We've just got to recognize that they
can be manipulated and that there is ballod harvesting. And
once we start cleaning that up, we can get we

(22:40):
can make further impacts and further in roads, and we
can probably attract the kinds of the clients, the kinds
of candidates that will actually be attractive to a wider audience,
and actually start electing more Republicans. And we're going to
have to do that because I guarantee you what I
see in that Texas map of those urban areas scares me,

(23:05):
because if Texas goes blue, the country is doomed. The
country is doomed because of all the congressional seats in Texas.
So while we make sure that we preserve Texas, Trump
over here is making certain that we ought to try
to eliminate counting illegal aliens in the census, because if

(23:28):
we didn't count illegal aliens in the census, states like
California would actually lose some representation, probably New York and
Illinois too, and in some places like Texas and Florida
and maybe even Colorado would actually gain some representation. Why
should we count people who are not in this country

(23:50):
legally for purposes of the population, For purposes of the census,
we ought to be counting the people who are citizens
who live here. Last week, on Thursday, just before the holidays,
the Supreme Court decided to review state bans on transgender athletes,
particularly those that are participating in public school sports. Now

(24:14):
they're going to have oral arguments this fall regarding two
cases in Idaho in West Virginia that are focused on
state laws that prevent these laws prevent biological males from
competing in girls and women's sports teams. I can't believe
I'm saying this. We have been indoctrinated to believe that

(24:36):
somehow this is okay. I think it's absolute discrimination. I
think it is taking an immutable trait. If you are black,
or Asian or colloccasion, you have an immutable Your race
is an immutable trait. So is your sex. Your sex

(24:58):
is immutable, don't I don't care how often you get
or what types of surgeries you get, whether you think
you're going to add something or take something away. Your
sex is still male or female. It is an immutable trait.
And women should not have to compete against men, and
men should not be allowed to compete against women and

(25:20):
women's sports. So West Virginia said, you're right. Remember West
Virginia may be one of those states, one of two
states where every county went red. Well, they enacted the
Save Women's Sports Act back in twenty twenty one, but
a lower court ruling actually allowed a transgender athlete who
goes by Becky Pepper Jackson to compete in cross country

(25:42):
and track teams. In April of last year, the US
Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the transgender athlete,
but the Attorney General in West Virginia, John McCluskey, said
of the Supreme Court reviewed a statement quote, it's a
great day as female athletes in West Virginia will have
their voices heard. He continued, The people of West Virginia

(26:04):
know that it's unfair to let male athletes compete against women.
That's why we pass this common sense law preserving women's
sports for women. He added, we are confident the Supreme
Court will uphold to Save Women's Sports Act because it
complies with the US Constitution, and it complies with Title nine,

(26:25):
and most importantly, it protects women and girls by ensuring
the playing field is safe and fair. Now, the Attorney
General for Idaho ral Labrador, where a similar law protecting
women's sports from transgenders has also been blocked by judges.
He also expressed satisfaction with the Supreme Court review saying

(26:47):
quote idahos, women and girls deserve an equal playing field.
For too long, activists have worked to sideline women and
girls in their own sports. Men and women are biologically different,
and we hope the Court will allow states to end
this injustice, ensure men no longer create a dangerous, unfair

(27:08):
environment for women to showcase their incredible talent and pursue
the equal opportunities they deserve. What fascinates me, what really
I like about the statement of both these Attorneys generals
is this is something that seems common sense to everyone.
Your sex is your sex. I don't care how often

(27:30):
you go into the operating room. I don't care what
you have removed or what you have added, what you
try to transform. Your X and Y chromosomes stay the same.
So if we're going to base discrimination upon immutable characteristics,

(27:51):
I would argue that sex is won and Title nine
encapsulates that you cannot discriminate on the basis of sex.
And transgender is actually when you think about the word transgender,
it implies that you are transitioning to something else. Look

(28:15):
up the definition denoting or relating to a person whose
gender identity does not correspond with the sex registered for
them at birth, your sex is well, your sex is
determined before you're born, but once you're born, we recognize
your sex. The obstetrician attending nurses make an observation, Oh,

(28:42):
look what we see. We see a penis. Oh you're
a boy. We see a vagina. Oh you're a girl.
That gets registered. So if you determine that you are transgender,
you're trying to change that which you naturally are. Now,
I don't care if you do. If you're over the

(29:02):
age of eighteen, if you want to go trans, then
go trans. It doesn't mean that, in accordance with our
discrimination laws, that that allows you to discriminate against a
sex that you are not. I think the Supreme Court
will up pull these laws and get ready because it

(29:24):
will be just another fight like the national injunctions. But
I think the Court will do the right thing. It's
the Weekend of Michael Brown. The text lines always open.
The numbers three three, one zero three, keyword micro Michael.
Go follow me on X at Michael Brown USA. I'll
be right back. Hey, welcome back to the Weekend of

(29:47):
Michael Brown. Thanks for joining me on this holiday weekend.
I'm glad you tuned in. It is fourth of July weekend.
We celebrated our two hundred and forty ninth birthday yesterday.
We're now on our way. We're in our two hundred
and fiftieth year, and the question remains, can the Republic survive?
I certainly believe that it can. It's not gonna be easy,

(30:09):
It's gonna be a little tough at times. But I
think that people that are in this audience, for example,
represent the very best of America. You represent that idea
of individual liberty, individual freedom, of free markets, of people
really caring about other people, and doing what the private

(30:29):
sector can do a thousand times better than the public
sector can do. You're out there every single day fighting
for the country, whether you know it or not. If
all you ever do, I want you to do more.
All you ever do is get up every day and work,
and you work to you work so that you can live.

(30:51):
You work so that you can feed your family, put
a roof over your head, take care of yourself so
that you can, you know, enjoy the abundance this country
has to offer. Then you are keeping the Republic together
by simply listening to this program. I think you're doing something.
You're staying informed. There are way too many people in

(31:11):
this country who are grossly uninformed about what's going on.
During their break, I was scrolling through the text messages
and many of you are right. First of all, I'd
like to say thank you for saying the kind words
you did about me going through the Obi cube, the
one big Beautiful bill and telling you the truth about

(31:33):
what I've seen in it, that a lot of this
stuff is temporary. Well, now you have the tools, the mechanisms,
you can be warriors out there to speak the truth.
Twenty five thousand people going to die. No, do you
understand that medicaid that expenditures for Medicaid are actually increasing,
They're just not as increasing as much as before. And oh,

(31:54):
by the way, you now have the ability to say
to someone, do you think it's wrong to ask someone
who is an able bodied person who doesn't have a
child at home, who's not a single parent, that if
they want other people's money to take care of their
health care, that they should have some skin in the game,
that they should do something in exchange for that money,

(32:18):
as opposed to just being handed over other people's money.
You the well informed as you are in this audience,
You are the backbone of the country, and you are
the group of people who will save the republic and
allow us to endure for another two hundred and fifty years.

(32:40):
I started the entire program out talking to you about
a book that I decided to read during the holiday season,
and I encourage you to do the same thing. It
doesn't have to be this book, but pick up any
book about the Founding Fathers. You know a great place
to start as the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. You could

(33:01):
read that. You could read the book that I'm currently
reading by Rick Atkinson at K I N s WN Atkinson.
Rick Atkinson, he's done a trilogy, He's got a three.
He's working on the third volume. He has two volumes out.
The first volume, which I'm going through right now, is
called The British Are Coming. And so far i've gotten

(33:23):
through the shot heard around the world two hundred and
forty nine years ago that started the American Revolution. But
what the book details are the ordinary lives of Americans,
ordinary lives like you and me, who reached the point
that just said, we're tired of living under tyranny, We're

(33:46):
tired of the overtaxation and we're going to resist you
in all of these civil ways. And that's what the
colonists did. They set up and said, you know what,
you're across the old Well, you're eighteen two thousand miles
away in Washington, DC, and you don't care about us.
So we're in our own communities. We're going to form

(34:09):
our own ways of doing things, and we're going to
we're going to govern ourselves, and we are going to
live our lives through our churches and our schools. We're
going to set up charter schools or private schools or whatever,
and we're going to make sure that our kids are
properly educated. We're going to take care of our local hospitals.
We're going to take care of our local doctors. We're
going to take care of local teachers. We're going to

(34:29):
do all of those things at a local level. That's
what the colonists were doing. And George the Third came
down and said no, no more. And they fought and
they fought, and they fought civilly, not with rifles, not
with muskets, not with banets, until they were forced to

(34:53):
we can do the same thing. Yes, I know many
people clamor for a second American Revolution. But if you
clamor for the Second American Revolution, you have to truly,
I mean truly, not basically what your high school history
teacher taught to you, but what these books will teach
you about the reality of what that first American Revolution

(35:15):
was like, which is why I want to encourage you.
It doesn't have to be the book I'm reading. You
can go on Amazon, Barnes and Noble wherever books are sold,
as they say, and just search out American Revolution or
Founding Fathers and find the highest rated book. Find one
that's won a Pulitzer Prize, find one that's been a

(35:35):
New York Times bestseller, find one. Go on and ask

a local district of some sort. You do that, you've
taken a step that ninety percent of other people will

(36:38):
never do in their entire lifetimes. I really encourage you,
and for those of you don't want to do it
but still want to understand our DNA. What makes us
the way that we are. Do you ever wonder why
you are the way you are in terms of believing
in individualism and liberty and the Second Amendment, all the
tenets of the Constitution. Go read a book. Go read

(37:01):
a book, and have a great weekend. I'll see you
next weekend.
