(00:28):
Michael to start the message. I would say, also, some
of you are noting that you're not getting the usual
reply that says thanks for your message. You know all
these you know, standard send or text rates, supply blah
blah blah blah. We're actually trying to get rid of
that and sometimes we're successful, sometimes we're not. And honestly,
(00:51):
the company that iHeart uses to do our text messaging
service has been having some problems lately with outgoing messages.
The incoming messages are working fine, but the outgoing messages
are not working very well. But be that as it may,
just because you don't get a response, doesn't mean that
we didn't get your message. So deep breath, Calm down,

Calm down, It's okay. The other thing I would add
in terms of a rule of engagement is subscribe to

(01:58):
Marjorie Taylor Green announced that she is not going to
run for Congress again.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Always represented the common American man and woman as a
member of the House of Representatives, which is why I've
always been despised in Washington, DC and just never fit in.
Americans are used by the political industrial complex of both
political parties election cycle after election cycle in order to
elect whichever side can convince Americans to hate the other
(02:25):
side more, and the results are always the same. No
matter which way the political pendulum swings, Republican or Democrat,
nothing ever gets better for the common American man or woman.
The debt goes higher, corporate and global interests remain Washington's sweethearts.
American jobs continue to be replaced, whether it's by illegal
(02:46):
labor or legal labor, by visas, or just shifted overseas.
Small businesses continue to be swallowed by big corporations. Americans
hard earned tax dollars always fund foreign wars, foreign aid,
and foreign interest, and the spending power of the dollar
continues to decline the average American family.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Wow makes me want to just pound my head on
this console and just knocked myself into oblivion. I'm not
saying she's wrong, but holy cow, come on, sweetheart. We're
fighting for a country here. We're we're fighting the constant
battle for liberty and freedom, a battle that never ends.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I can no longer survive on a single breadwinner's income,
as both parents have to work in order to simply survive.
And today many and my children's generation feel hopeless for
their future and don't think they will ever realize the
American dream, and that breaks my heart. I ran for
Congress in twenty twenty and have fought every single day
(03:49):
believing that make America great Again meant America first.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
And it still does. She just has some disagreements with
the president, and she's had a lot of agreements with
the President. I just want to say one thing to
get it off my chest before I delve into this topic.
She said a lot of things I agree with. She
(04:15):
said a lot of things I disagree with. But the
one thing that she never addresses, and it bugs me
about every member of Congress unless you can show me
an individual that's the exception. They go to DC and
they have all of these hopes of changing the world.
(04:37):
They forget that they're one of just five hundred and
thirty five members of the House and Senate, and they
are just one part of three branches of government that
are they have separation of powers. They're equal branches of government,
but they are designed by the Constitution to be separate
(05:00):
with their own particular responsibilities. And being a Congressman or
a Senator was never meant to be a way to
enrich herself. I don't have the exact numbers in front
of me. But she came to Congress. When she first ran,
(05:21):
she has a construction company. When she first ran for Congress,
her financial disclosures indicated that she had a net worth
of less than a million dollars. I think it was
four hundred thousand dollars or something. Today she is a
net worth of tens of millions of dollars. I just
(05:43):
like to know how that happens. Now. I could sit
here and I could speculate that like Nancy Pelosi, she engages.
Like Nancy Pelosi and many others, both Republicans and Democrats,
engage on insider trading because they know the laws they're
about to pass. They know firsthand some of the rules
and regulations that are coming out of the executive branch,
(06:04):
and they make their trades based on that. In fact,
that's become such a common known fact that there are
actual apps services that you can use to do your
own trades based on your particular person that you choose
(06:24):
as a member of Congress. I'd choose Nancy Pelosi because
she's made herself incredibly wealthy with the trades that her
husband has made based upon the pillow. Talk about what
Nancy tells him about what's going on inside the government. Now,
I got a problem with that, But I also have
(06:44):
a problem with something that nobody else ever really thinks about.
You mean, the government is so involved and so heavily
entwined in the private sector that you can make money
based upon government actions, and that's going to affect the
price of a share of stock in XYZ Corporation. That
(07:05):
tells me the government is too big and too intertwined
in the economy. But Marjorie Taylor Green doesn't want to
talk about that, And I understand why. If I were
in that position and I had made millions of dollars
off being a member of Congress, I wouldn't want to
(07:27):
talk about it either. I'm not going to pretend to
have the inside baseball and everything. That led to her
announcing her resignation from Congress, which by the way, is
effective January five of this coming year. Now, as I said,
I got a lot of opinions on what she did well,
and I got a lot of opinions on what she
didn't do well. But I want to instead stick to
(07:50):
something different for a moment, and that is the fight
for liberty. Because the fight for liberty is what we
should be focused on, not any one individual member of Congress. Now, you,
just like me, need to be focused on my individual
member of Congress. Unfortunately, in my home state of Colorado,
(08:16):
I've got too many members of Congress that are on
the wrong side of virtually I'm in terms of the
Democrats in the Colorado delegation are on the wrong side
of every single issue that I care about. And it
may be true in your state too. I've got some
really smart Democrats that should know better, but they're infused
(08:40):
with both Trump derangement syndrome and they're true at heart.
There They're no longer just big government liberals. They've crossed
that line, that unkind of moving line. They've crossed the
line from just a big government liberal to a Marxist
socialist communist. As I say, some are just stupid the
summer smart know exactly what they're doing. And the Republican
(09:03):
members of Congress from Colorado are yeah, Okay, they may
be on the right side of the issue, but because
we have such turnover, they don't really have the seniority
where they can really do much of anything that needs
to get done, which is why I focus more on
national issues. Than I do on local issues. So Congresswoman
(09:24):
Green was on the right side of a lot of
important issues. She favored certain positions. You know, much of
I think Trump's base wish that he would get behind,
and in some cases those roles were reversed. But what
about the fight for liberty? That's next. Welcome back to
(09:50):
the weekend with Michael Brown. We're talking about the resignation
of Marjorie Taylor Green, aka MTG from Congress. Somebody pointed
out on the text line that her five years of
of service kicks in on January third, so if she
resigns effect of January five, she would be entitled to
a congressional pension. Just to make sure that we're all
(10:13):
on the same page, let me explain about federal pensions.
A member of Congress can become eligible for a pension,
but it varies depending upon their years of service and
their age. So generally speaking, you can receive a pension
at age sixty two if you have at least five
(10:34):
years of service. You can receive a pension at age
fifty if you have twenty years of service. But you
can also receive a pension at any age if you
serve for at least twenty five years under both the
civil service retirement system and the federal employees retirement system.
So that's pretty much the general brutle about Congressional pensions.
(10:57):
So making her announcement that she was resigning, which, by
the way, we'll make our margin in the House even smaller,
I think that gets us down now to a difference
of three, like two nineteen to two sixteen something like that.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Things, because they are meaningless and empty traps that hold
too many people in Washington. I believe in term limits
and do not think Congress should be a lifelong career
or an assisted living facility. My only goal and desire
has ever been to hold the Republican Party accountable for
the promises it makes to the American people and put
(11:31):
America first. And I have fought against Democrats damaging policies
like the Green New Deal, wide open, deadly unsafe border policies,
and the trans Agenda on children and against women. With
that has brought years of non stop, never ending personal attacks,
death threats, lawfare, ridiculous slander and lies about me that
(11:53):
most people could never withstand even for a single day.
It has been unfair and wrong, not only to me,
but especially to my family, but it's been wrong to
my district as well. I have too much self respect
and dignity. I love my family way too much, and
I do not want my sweet district to have to
(12:14):
endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the
president that we all fought for only to fight and
win my election, while Republicans will likely lose the midterms
and in turn be expected to defend the president against
impeachment after he hatefully dumped tens of millions of dollars
against me.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Sounds little sour grapes, doesn't it. But there's something else
that I want you to be aware of. I find
it interesting that she points out that historically, for the
past ninety years, presidents in their first year. Now this
is I understand, this is his second term, but nonetheless
it's his first year, and the same told is true
(12:56):
for second terms interrupted by a mid a president forty
five forty seven tend to lose seats in the House
and tend to lose their majorities in the House. And
with the margin of say two nineteen to two sixteen
with her gone, that means you would be serving in
the minority. And I can just tell you that it's
(13:18):
not fun to serve in the minority for forty years,
for forty years until Newt Genrich won election in nineteen
eighty four, eighty two, eighty I forget what year it
was now with the Contract for America. Prior to that,
it was forty years that Republicans were in the wilderness.
(13:41):
Forty years Bob Michael of Illinois was the House Minority leader,
and Republicans only learned, you know, after forty years, you
learn one thing, how to say no, how to object
to everything, just no, no, no, no, no, and never
actually governing. Republicans could be facing that again. I hope not,
and I don't think so, but they could be. And
(14:03):
it's easy when you've got a pension and you've made
millions of dollars to cut and run and say on
the way out, I love my country, I love my district.
They don't deserve this. You know, there's gonna be a
primary against means Republicans are going to fight, So I'm
out of here. I'm out of here. I get it,
(14:25):
I get it. So it's it's easy to see that
she's been right on some issues, she's been wrong on
some other issues. But there should be room in the
overall framework of political problem solving that we could fuse
those two things together. Right, But when you have eight
or ten different ideologies that get shoved into a shoe
(14:49):
box of one of the one of the two parties,
it's inevitable that you will have conflict and dissolution. But
I must caution, as I always do, that the battle
for preserving freedom and liberty is a never ending battle.
There is no end to this. There's no end to it.
(15:11):
These battles that we fight today, while they may be
different issues, are part of the same battle that this
country has been fighting since its founding. Because we're the anomaly.
Do you not get that we are the aberration? The
United States of America is not the normal republic the
(15:34):
Roman Empire fell. We've managed to survive longer because of
our constitution and because we've had these battles, and we
will always have these battles because the power of darkness,
the power of tyranny, is substantial. Now, I don't think
(15:55):
it's as great as the power of liberty and freedom.
But when you brow beat a people into submission, whether
that's a COVID lockdown or whether that's through taxation or
through it's through over regulation and over policies that intrude
into every aspect of your life. It really does become
hard to fight the battle for liberty and freedom. We
(16:19):
already have plenty of threats to liberty in the weakness
of many members of the Republican Party itself, who are
indeed beholden to foreign and domestic donors into special interests. Now,
if you side with Congresswoman Green in this fight, then
remember she is but one of four hundred and thirty
five members of the US House, and even at her best,
(16:41):
she is incapable of making positive change without being accompanied
by scores of others sharing convictions that the status colin
Washington has to change. If you side with President Trump
in this dispute, then this is the simplest way to
understand this issue, and that issue is this. Trump's term
(17:05):
in the White House expires on January twenty, twenty twenty nine.
That is three years, one month, and I think twenty
eight days from now. If you're listening later, it might
be twenty seven days. So unless your plan is to
place the weight of the world on one man or woman,
(17:26):
or even on a few Congressman senators or influencers and
media personalities. You have no choice but to step up
and be involved in this process. Why, I'll tell you
next tonight.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
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.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
The Weekend with Michael Brown January twenty twenty nine. Welcome
back to the Weekend of Michael Brown. Three years, one
month and twenty eight days. Which is why you don't
want to place the weight of the world on just
one member of Congress, one man or one woman, or
you know, a few congressmen, senators, influencers, all those media
(18:17):
personalities out there. You really don't have a choice but
to step up and get involved in the political process.
Parties change platforms when they're directed to do so by
the votes of the subordinate leaders at the lowest levels
over a significant enough period of time. That's why in
(18:37):
this it's such a conflict in a mental perspective, because
we live a real life. Our real lives are lived unfortunately,
I think too much so based on instant gratification. Oh
she whiz. I mean you know porl FedEx. I can
(18:58):
order from Amazon, and I don't even have to wait
for FedEx delivered the next day. I can order from
Amazon and have it delivered the same day, even if
even some things depending on you know, whether it's just
a letter or a package. Sometimes with FedEx you can
even get same day delivery. We want it right now,
and I don't want to have to go too small
to get it. I want somebody to bring it to
(19:19):
my porch and ring the doorbell. In fact, if I
get them to bring it in and you know, unpack
it for me, they'd be even better. We want instant gratification,
but when it comes to politics, you don't get instant gratification.
What you get are humans because politics are comprised solely
of humans engaged in a unique thing of trying to
(19:43):
govern ourselves. And we try to govern ourselves while maintaining
individual liberty and individual freedom. So everybody's willing to enable
to believe their own beliefs and push their own agenda,
all within the confines of a two party system. And
I'm not going to argue that we need to abandon
(20:03):
the two party system because that's just not going to happen. Again.
I live in the real world, so a platform changes.
And by a platform, I don't necessarily mean a party
platform that gets read or voted on at a party convention.
I mean a party's position on ideas or issues in general.
But the good news is this doesn't take relocating across
(20:27):
the country for you to be involved. It takes being
willing to go to local meetings, to volunteer, to sign
up for leadership positions, and to drag people with you
if it's necessary. Now, if you're restless with certain positions
that never seem to change, then understand they are there
because they went largely unchallenged before the cabal, before mass
(20:50):
media brought people to the point of realizing the country
is on the Vergia collapse unless we were resuscitated by
a powerful new movement and we got that. In other words,
things it's like the typical male Can I just laugh
with the typical male species, because I'm laughing at myself
because I'm as guilty of it as every other male.
(21:13):
Oh you see, I got this spot. It's really bad.
It seems to be growing. I'll get a check someday. Yeah,
and then you've got a tumor or you know. I
just I don't feel very well. I think, you know,
just you know, give me, give me a couple of
SIPs of tequila and you know, a nice nap, and
I'll be ok I'll be okay tomorrow. Next thing, you know,
you've got pneumonia. Men just keep putting it off. We
(21:35):
just we don't want to deal with it. We got
other things we gotta do. There's a football game on.
I gotta go listen to Michael Brown. I gotta go
do this or that. I got to mow the yard.
But what finally woke men up and women for that matter,
was along comes Sleepy Joe, and we we knew I
(22:00):
was bad. We knew it was bad, but it took
the overreach of Democrats force to realize, holy crap, batman,
it really is bad. We got to do something. If
you're viewing the day to day events through a microscope,
then you're inevitably going to be disappointed as to what
(22:21):
must come to pass gets delayed or otherwise obstructed, like
it was in the twenty twenty quasi election, the pseudo election,
if you will, which set everything back four years or more.
When taking all the damage of the Biden administration into account,
(22:43):
now I've kind of split the baby here, because this
may not be what you wanted to hear if you're
deep into the division that you can find if you
go over and you know you're following me on X
and you look at some of the stuff going on
over there, you realize, I've seen a lot of stuff
about how MAGA has devolved into megat to make America
great again, this make Israel great again. Instead of MAGA,
(23:03):
it's Mega. And I'm like, really, seriously, because of some
of the things that Trump's done, or or that Trump
met with Mom Donnie yesterday, the fact he met was Zoefram.
I wouldn't have done it. If I'd been president, I
would not have met with Zoefram. And the reason I
would not has nothing to do with the fact that
(23:24):
he's a communist, nothing to do with the fact that
I think he's going to destroy New York. But I
would have just let him hang out there. But you
gave him great legitimacy, mister President, by inviting him to
the Oval office. Well, what about the next mayor of
Los Angeles who might be a communist? What about the
next mayor of Houston, Well, for that matter, what about
(23:47):
the next mayor of Podunk nowhere that just might happen
to be a communist. I think it was a mistake
and I wouldn't have done it. But when you when
you live, and I know, politics has become a religion
for many people, and politics is what they live and
die by every single day. Even though you might have
(24:10):
a regular day job, you've got a nine to five job,
you've got a six to six job, you've got an
eighteen hour day job, whatever you've got. For many people,
regardless of what their day job is, their other life
is just consumed by politics. And so when something comes
along that you don't like it, I'm just ow my
hands and walk away. We can't do that. We can't
(24:31):
do that because individual liberty and individual freedom truly does
hang in the balance. And maybe maybe I'm the one
that's pissing in the wind. Maybe I'm the one that
just needs to set back and say, Okay, well fine,
just let it collapse. You'll get your wish. The country
will devolve into civil war or into chaos, or devolve
into communism, and then you know, maybe you know, my
(24:54):
great great great great great great great drank grandchildren will
rise up and turn it back into a constitutional republic.
I don't know. But again I say that no one
man or no one woman can uphold that which is
meant to be a shared responsibility given to all of
us as citizens. So Marjorie Taylor Green, MTG is gone, Okay,
(25:15):
well bye bye and good luck. And I mean that sincerely.
I don't wish her ill. But by the same token,
those who are absolutely appalled and want to join her
because Trump's done a few things they don't like. Versus
everybody that looks at Trump and says he can do
(25:36):
no wrong, I say, on both sides, that's incorrect. Trump's
not perfect. He's done some stuff that I like, and
he's done some stuff that I don't like. Some stuff
I am absolutely convinced. He's playing four dchess and I
haven't quite figured out what the four D chess is.
But as long as we are moving to correct the
(25:58):
mistakes of the past and somehow get this country on
a stronger economic footing, which is not going to happen overnight.
If you listen to me during the weekday, you know
that I spent a good hour to an hour and
a half one day this week talking about how affordability
is a buzzword that we need to avoid because prices
(26:23):
have so many different influences that set a price for
whatever widget or whatever service, whatever good it is that
you're buying, that those prices in general may come down
or some prices are going to stay high because of
things that frankly a president has no control over, and
because of a COVID shutdown which absolutely destroyed the economy,
(26:48):
and not just in this country but worldwide, and so
now we are still almost almost five years later, still
trying to recover from that. So the afford ability issue
is going to be used by Democrats as a cudgel
to try to divide Republicans because those of us who
understand that this is going to be a long term
(27:08):
recovery because it was truly a it was a near
death experience. It was an NDE that we experienced with
the COVID shutdown, and because of the COVID shutdown, we've
been resuscitated. We came back to life, we got a heartbeat,
(27:28):
lungs were working again, the blood was circulating again, but
the tissues still damage and we're still recovering from it,
and we're still trying to move in the right direction.
And it's going to take a long long time to
do that. I hope that the lesson that we learned
from the COVID shutdown was that don't ever let that
(27:49):
happen again. Don't ever let it happen again. Fight it
with everything you have. Because they conducted the experiment, they
showed they control us. We all shouldn't say all of us.
Many of us fell in like sheeple and just hidding
(28:09):
our bedrooms because we were afraid to get out because
of a virus that oh is still around and is
still affecting people and is still causing people to get sick.
There's a story out just last night about measles in Canada.
Measles is now endemic endemic versus pandemic, means it is
(28:31):
just consistent in Canada, widespread and consistent measles. Now, I
suppose if Canada wanted to go backcrap crazy and in
force a shut down or in you know, do force
vaccinations again, whatever it might be, then they maybe they
get measles under control again. But it's a constant battle
(28:56):
for freedom and liberty. An MTG's disappearance from the scene
for me is a big yawn. I'll be right back, Hey,
welcome back. The weekend with Michael Brown. Glad to have
(29:16):
you with me. I appreciate you tuning in. Text line
has always always opened. The number on your message AAP
is three three one zero three three three one zero three.
Keyword Mike or Michael. Tell them anything, ask me anything.
So tell me Crooks. Remember Thomas Crooks that semimary to you.
(29:40):
I imagine a lot of people forgot who it was.
Oh yeah, the guy in Butler, Pennsylvania that tried to
assassinate Donald Trump and came within just a tiny fraction
of an inch of blowing Trump's brains out on national television.
Why on Earth are we funding the FBI when they
can't even tell us the truth about a guy who
(30:02):
came within that split second and a fraction of an
inch of assassinating an American president on TV. Instead, we
got to turn to podcasters or the New York Posts.
Miranda Devine's doing great investigative work about Thomas Crooks, and
she's exposing the truth about the social media footprint of
this dirt bag, a footprint of the line leadership of
(30:25):
the former director of the FBI, Chris Way. Chris Ray,
excuse me, wouldn't even tell us about did you know,
for example, the Crooks was a Trump hating leftist with
a furry fetish. You don't know what a furry fetish is.
If you are our y, go look it up his pronouns.
They then, now you didn't know that. That's because the
(30:46):
FBI let the cabal lie that Crooks was a registered Republican.
Alia began circulating mere hours after the attempted assassination. In fact,
on July twenty four, a couple of weeks after the shooting,
Chris Ray said this, in terms of what we've been
able to find so far, a lot of the usual
(31:08):
repositories of information have not yet yielded anything notable in
terms of motiv or, you know, anything like an ideology. Now,
remember that's the exact same Chris Ray who opined that
we weren't sure whether Trump was even really shot or not. Unbelievable,
even though the New York Times reporter that took the
(31:28):
picture of the bullet whizzing by a pullet through winning
prize photo. I don't think it takes a genius to say,
wait a minute, I told you so. Even a few
days earlier before that day, in July of twenty twenty four,
Ray's partner in crime, the Deputy director of the FBI,
Paul Abode, had told Congress that Crook's social media comments
(31:52):
appear to reflect anti Semitic and anti immigration themes, to
espouse political violence, and are described as extreme in nature.
Oh so it's the right wing violence that kept us
that they kept warning us about during the entire link
of the Biden presidency. It's almost as if they were
getting their narrative talking points from the Autopen and the
(32:15):
cabal was just transcribing what the autopen was writing. Now,
they did report, to be fair, that Crooks had made
a fifteen dollars to nation to the Progressive Turnout Project
back on Inauguration Day in twenty twenty one, but that
only causes people to shrug their shoulders about the ideology
(32:35):
that actually drove you know, Crooks to nearly change the
trajectory of the world and its history. As Miranda Devine
points out in The New York Post, Thomas Crooks wasn't
mixed up at all, thanks thanks to an enterprising source
who uncovered Crook's hidden digital footprints. She wrote, we can
(32:57):
say that a body misled Congress by old mission because
he left out an entire section of Crooks's online interactions
between January and August of twenty twenty, when he did
an ideological backflip and went from rapidly pro Trump to
rabidly anti Trump, and then went dark, never seeming to
post again. Now, why wouldn't the FBI tell us that
(33:21):
Crooks ultimately did a political one eighty in early twenty twenty,
the last year of Trump's term, and then started posting
stuff about fighting the government with terrorism style attacks his
words online. Wouldn't an online posting suggesting that you quote
sneak a bomb into an essential building and set it
(33:42):
off before anyone sees you track down any important people politicians',
military leaders, etc. And tried to assassinate them, wouldn't that phrase?
Wouldn't that sentence raise an eyebrow with those whose job
it is to find those things and detect that kind
of threat and protect the rest of us from that
kind of threat. Well, you know the answer, because it
(34:05):
would have put the victim of the attempted assassination, Donald Trump,
in a sympathetic light and would have therefore hurt the
Democrat Democrats politically because all that was in the run
up to last year's presidential election. Luckily for us, it
ended up not mattering. It was on Friday that Tucker Carlson,
(34:30):
who has neither the financial resources nor the investigative power,
say of the New York Times of the Washington Post,
nonetheless delivered the goods in a thirty four minute podcast.
The rest of fair minded media have since followed suit
and built upon Carlston's reporting. Now, if only Carlson could
resist the apparently overwhelming urged to kill to give softball
(34:53):
interviews to, you know, Hitler loving people like Nick Flantes,
he might have some more credibility. But I digress. But
you have to give Carlson credit. Despite the wild conspiracy
stuff that he seems to be going off on, was
able to at least find this information which really corroborates
(35:14):
whether you want to say he corroborated Miranda Divine and
Miranda Divine corroborated him. Nonetheless, we have at least two
disparate sources telling us that yes, this is the truth
about Thomas Crooks, and this is exactly what the FBI
was hiding from us. Now, Trump's FBI director Cash Pttel
has come out and said that Crooks or Cook's crooks
(35:37):
acted alone. But now people are calling for an investigation
to be reopened, including the widow of the firefighter Corey Competour.
That's the volunteer fire chief who was murdered that day.
I mean, this is really sad. But here's former FBI
Assistant Director Chris Schweicker quote. I wouldn't trust the previous
(35:58):
iteration of the FBI and the bidenminst to not hide
their mistakes and not be proactive when it comes to
Donald Trump and getting out there and trying to intervene
an intercede. Regarding the motivation, we know again that the
previous iteration of the FBI and the Biden administration tried
to convince us that there was only right wing terrorism
and right wing fanatics and that simply wasn't the case. Wow,
(36:23):
and you think that MTG leaving is a big deal. No,
we have a lot of work still to do.
To night.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
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.

Michael to start the message. I would say, also, some
of you are noting that you're not getting the usual
reply that says thanks for your message. You know all
these you know, standard send or text rates, supply blah
blah blah blah. We're actually trying to get rid of
that and sometimes we're successful, sometimes we're not. And honestly,
(00:51):
the company that iHeart uses to do our text messaging
service has been having some problems lately with outgoing messages.
The incoming messages are working fine, but the outgoing messages
are not working very well. But be that as it may,
just because you don't get a response, doesn't mean that
we didn't get your message. So deep breath, Calm down,
(01:15):
Calm down, It's okay. The other thing I would add
in terms of a rule of engagement is subscribe to
the podcast. It really does help the program. And I

(01:58):
Marjorie Taylor Green announced that she is not going to
run for Congress again.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Always represented the common American man and woman as a
member of the House of Representatives, which is why I've
always been despised in Washington, DC and just never fit in.
Americans are used by the political industrial complex of both
political parties election cycle after election cycle in order to
elect whichever side can convince Americans to hate the other
(02:25):
side more, and the results are always the same. No
matter which way the political pendulum swings, Republican or Democrat,
nothing ever gets better for the common American man or woman.
The debt goes higher, corporate and global interests remain Washington's sweethearts.
American jobs continue to be replaced, whether it's by illegal
(02:46):
labor or legal labor, by visas, or just shifted overseas.
Small businesses continue to be swallowed by big corporations. Americans
hard earned tax dollars always fund foreign wars, foreign aid,
and foreign interest, and the spending power of the dollar
continues to decline the average American family.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Wow makes me want to just pound my head on
this console and just knocked myself into oblivion. I'm not
saying she's wrong, but holy cow, come on, sweetheart. We're
fighting for a country here. We're we're fighting the constant
battle for liberty and freedom, a battle that never ends.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I can no longer survive on a single breadwinner's income,
as both parents have to work in order to simply survive.
And today many and my children's generation feel hopeless for
their future and don't think they will ever realize the
American dream, and that breaks my heart. I ran for
Congress in twenty twenty and have fought every single day
(03:49):
believing that make America great Again meant America first.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
And it still does. She just has some disagreements with
the president, and she's had a lot of agreements with
the President. I just want to say one thing to
get it off my chest before I delve into this topic.
She said a lot of things I agree with. She
(04:15):
said a lot of things I disagree with. But the
one thing that she never addresses, and it bugs me
about every member of Congress unless you can show me
an individual that's the exception. They go to DC and
they have all of these hopes of changing the world.
(04:37):
They forget that they're one of just five hundred and
thirty five members of the House and Senate, and they
are just one part of three branches of government that
are they have separation of powers. They're equal branches of government,
but they are designed by the Constitution to be separate
(05:00):
with their own particular responsibilities. And being a Congressman or
a Senator was never meant to be a way to
enrich herself. I don't have the exact numbers in front
of me. But she came to Congress. When she first ran,
(05:21):
she has a construction company. When she first ran for Congress,
her financial disclosures indicated that she had a net worth
of less than a million dollars. I think it was
four hundred thousand dollars or something. Today she is a
net worth of tens of millions of dollars. I just
(05:43):
like to know how that happens. Now. I could sit
here and I could speculate that like Nancy Pelosi, she engages.
Like Nancy Pelosi and many others, both Republicans and Democrats,
engage on insider trading because they know the laws they're
about to pass. They know firsthand some of the rules
and regulations that are coming out of the executive branch,
(06:04):
and they make their trades based on that. In fact,
that's become such a common known fact that there are
actual apps services that you can use to do your
own trades based on your particular person that you choose
(06:24):
as a member of Congress. I'd choose Nancy Pelosi because
she's made herself incredibly wealthy with the trades that her
husband has made based upon the pillow. Talk about what
Nancy tells him about what's going on inside the government. Now,
I got a problem with that, But I also have
(06:44):
a problem with something that nobody else ever really thinks about.
You mean, the government is so involved and so heavily
entwined in the private sector that you can make money
based upon government actions, and that's going to affect the
price of a share of stock in XYZ Corporation. That
(07:05):
tells me the government is too big and too intertwined
in the economy. But Marjorie Taylor Green doesn't want to
talk about that, And I understand why. If I were
in that position and I had made millions of dollars
off being a member of Congress, I wouldn't want to
(07:27):
talk about it either. I'm not going to pretend to
have the inside baseball and everything. That led to her
announcing her resignation from Congress, which by the way, is
effective January five of this coming year. Now, as I said,
I got a lot of opinions on what she did well,
and I got a lot of opinions on what she
didn't do well. But I want to instead stick to
(07:50):
something different for a moment, and that is the fight
for liberty. Because the fight for liberty is what we
should be focused on, not any one individual member of Congress. Now, you,
just like me, need to be focused on my individual
member of Congress. Unfortunately, in my home state of Colorado,
(08:16):
I've got too many members of Congress that are on
the wrong side of virtually I'm in terms of the
Democrats in the Colorado delegation are on the wrong side
of every single issue that I care about. And it
may be true in your state too. I've got some
really smart Democrats that should know better, but they're infused
(08:40):
with both Trump derangement syndrome and they're true at heart.
There They're no longer just big government liberals. They've crossed
that line, that unkind of moving line. They've crossed the
line from just a big government liberal to a Marxist
socialist communist. As I say, some are just stupid the
summer smart know exactly what they're doing. And the Republican
(09:03):
members of Congress from Colorado are yeah, Okay, they may
be on the right side of the issue, but because
we have such turnover, they don't really have the seniority
where they can really do much of anything that needs
to get done, which is why I focus more on
national issues. Than I do on local issues. So Congresswoman
(09:24):
Green was on the right side of a lot of
important issues. She favored certain positions. You know, much of
I think Trump's base wish that he would get behind,
and in some cases those roles were reversed. But what
about the fight for liberty? That's next. Welcome back to
(09:50):
the weekend with Michael Brown. We're talking about the resignation
of Marjorie Taylor Green, aka MTG from Congress. Somebody pointed
out on the text line that her five years of
of service kicks in on January third, so if she
resigns effect of January five, she would be entitled to
a congressional pension. Just to make sure that we're all
(10:13):
on the same page, let me explain about federal pensions.
A member of Congress can become eligible for a pension,
but it varies depending upon their years of service and
their age. So generally speaking, you can receive a pension
at age sixty two if you have at least five
(10:34):
years of service. You can receive a pension at age
fifty if you have twenty years of service. But you
can also receive a pension at any age if you
serve for at least twenty five years under both the
civil service retirement system and the federal employees retirement system.
So that's pretty much the general brutle about Congressional pensions.
(10:57):
So making her announcement that she was resigning, which, by
the way, we'll make our margin in the House even smaller,
I think that gets us down now to a difference
of three, like two nineteen to two sixteen something like that.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Things, because they are meaningless and empty traps that hold
too many people in Washington. I believe in term limits
and do not think Congress should be a lifelong career
or an assisted living facility. My only goal and desire
has ever been to hold the Republican Party accountable for
the promises it makes to the American people and put
(11:31):
America first. And I have fought against Democrats damaging policies
like the Green New Deal, wide open, deadly unsafe border policies,
and the trans Agenda on children and against women. With
that has brought years of non stop, never ending personal attacks,
death threats, lawfare, ridiculous slander and lies about me that
(11:53):
most people could never withstand even for a single day.
It has been unfair and wrong, not only to me,
but especially to my family, but it's been wrong to
my district as well. I have too much self respect
and dignity. I love my family way too much, and
I do not want my sweet district to have to
(12:14):
endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the
president that we all fought for only to fight and
win my election, while Republicans will likely lose the midterms
and in turn be expected to defend the president against
impeachment after he hatefully dumped tens of millions of dollars
against me.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Sounds little sour grapes, doesn't it. But there's something else
that I want you to be aware of. I find
it interesting that she points out that historically, for the
past ninety years, presidents in their first year. Now this
is I understand, this is his second term, but nonetheless
it's his first year, and the same told is true
(12:56):
for second terms interrupted by a mid a president forty
five forty seven tend to lose seats in the House
and tend to lose their majorities in the House. And
with the margin of say two nineteen to two sixteen
with her gone, that means you would be serving in
the minority. And I can just tell you that it's
(13:18):
not fun to serve in the minority for forty years,
for forty years until Newt Genrich won election in nineteen
eighty four, eighty two, eighty I forget what year it
was now with the Contract for America. Prior to that,
it was forty years that Republicans were in the wilderness.
(13:41):
Forty years Bob Michael of Illinois was the House Minority leader,
and Republicans only learned, you know, after forty years, you
learn one thing, how to say no, how to object
to everything, just no, no, no, no, no, and never
actually governing. Republicans could be facing that again. I hope not,
and I don't think so, but they could be. And
(14:03):
it's easy when you've got a pension and you've made
millions of dollars to cut and run and say on
the way out, I love my country, I love my district.
They don't deserve this. You know, there's gonna be a
primary against means Republicans are going to fight, So I'm
out of here. I'm out of here. I get it,
(14:25):
I get it. So it's it's easy to see that
she's been right on some issues, she's been wrong on
some other issues. But there should be room in the
overall framework of political problem solving that we could fuse
those two things together. Right, But when you have eight
or ten different ideologies that get shoved into a shoe
(14:49):
box of one of the one of the two parties,
it's inevitable that you will have conflict and dissolution. But
I must caution, as I always do, that the battle
for preserving freedom and liberty is a never ending battle.
There is no end to this. There's no end to it.
(15:11):
These battles that we fight today, while they may be
different issues, are part of the same battle that this
country has been fighting since its founding. Because we're the anomaly.
Do you not get that we are the aberration? The
United States of America is not the normal republic the
(15:34):
Roman Empire fell. We've managed to survive longer because of
our constitution and because we've had these battles, and we
will always have these battles because the power of darkness,
the power of tyranny, is substantial. Now, I don't think
(15:55):
it's as great as the power of liberty and freedom.
But when you brow beat a people into submission, whether
that's a COVID lockdown or whether that's through taxation or
through it's through over regulation and over policies that intrude
into every aspect of your life. It really does become
hard to fight the battle for liberty and freedom. We
(16:19):
already have plenty of threats to liberty in the weakness
of many members of the Republican Party itself, who are
indeed beholden to foreign and domestic donors into special interests. Now,
if you side with Congresswoman Green in this fight, then
remember she is but one of four hundred and thirty
five members of the US House, and even at her best,
(16:41):
she is incapable of making positive change without being accompanied
by scores of others sharing convictions that the status colin
Washington has to change. If you side with President Trump
in this dispute, then this is the simplest way to
understand this issue, and that issue is this. Trump's term
(17:05):
in the White House expires on January twenty, twenty twenty nine.
That is three years, one month, and I think twenty
eight days from now. If you're listening later, it might
be twenty seven days. So unless your plan is to
place the weight of the world on one man or woman,
(17:26):
or even on a few Congressman senators or influencers and
media personalities. You have no choice but to step up
and be involved in this process. Why, I'll tell you
next tonight.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
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.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
The Weekend with Michael Brown January twenty twenty nine. Welcome
back to the Weekend of Michael Brown. Three years, one
month and twenty eight days. Which is why you don't
want to place the weight of the world on just
one member of Congress, one man or one woman, or
you know, a few congressmen, senators, influencers, all those media
(18:17):
personalities out there. You really don't have a choice but
to step up and get involved in the political process.
Parties change platforms when they're directed to do so by
the votes of the subordinate leaders at the lowest levels
over a significant enough period of time. That's why in
(18:37):
this it's such a conflict in a mental perspective, because
we live a real life. Our real lives are lived unfortunately,
I think too much so based on instant gratification. Oh
she whiz. I mean you know porl FedEx. I can
(18:58):
order from Amazon, and I don't even have to wait
for FedEx delivered the next day. I can order from
Amazon and have it delivered the same day, even if
even some things depending on you know, whether it's just
a letter or a package. Sometimes with FedEx you can
even get same day delivery. We want it right now,
and I don't want to have to go too small
to get it. I want somebody to bring it to
(19:19):
my porch and ring the doorbell. In fact, if I
get them to bring it in and you know, unpack
it for me, they'd be even better. We want instant gratification,
but when it comes to politics, you don't get instant gratification.
What you get are humans because politics are comprised solely
of humans engaged in a unique thing of trying to
(19:43):
govern ourselves. And we try to govern ourselves while maintaining
individual liberty and individual freedom. So everybody's willing to enable
to believe their own beliefs and push their own agenda,
all within the confines of a two party system. And
I'm not going to argue that we need to abandon
(20:03):
the two party system because that's just not going to happen. Again.
I live in the real world, so a platform changes.
And by a platform, I don't necessarily mean a party
platform that gets read or voted on at a party convention.
I mean a party's position on ideas or issues in general.
But the good news is this doesn't take relocating across
(20:27):
the country for you to be involved. It takes being
willing to go to local meetings, to volunteer, to sign
up for leadership positions, and to drag people with you
if it's necessary. Now, if you're restless with certain positions
that never seem to change, then understand they are there
because they went largely unchallenged before the cabal, before mass
(20:50):
media brought people to the point of realizing the country
is on the Vergia collapse unless we were resuscitated by
a powerful new movement and we got that. In other words,
things it's like the typical male Can I just laugh
with the typical male species, because I'm laughing at myself
because I'm as guilty of it as every other male.
(21:13):
Oh you see, I got this spot. It's really bad.
It seems to be growing. I'll get a check someday. Yeah,
and then you've got a tumor or you know. I
just I don't feel very well. I think, you know,
just you know, give me, give me a couple of
SIPs of tequila and you know, a nice nap, and
I'll be ok I'll be okay tomorrow. Next thing, you know,
you've got pneumonia. Men just keep putting it off. We
(21:35):
just we don't want to deal with it. We got
other things we gotta do. There's a football game on.
I gotta go listen to Michael Brown. I gotta go
do this or that. I got to mow the yard.
But what finally woke men up and women for that matter,
was along comes Sleepy Joe, and we we knew I
(22:00):
was bad. We knew it was bad, but it took
the overreach of Democrats force to realize, holy crap, batman,
it really is bad. We got to do something. If
you're viewing the day to day events through a microscope,
then you're inevitably going to be disappointed as to what
(22:21):
must come to pass gets delayed or otherwise obstructed, like
it was in the twenty twenty quasi election, the pseudo election,
if you will, which set everything back four years or more.
When taking all the damage of the Biden administration into account,
(22:43):
now I've kind of split the baby here, because this
may not be what you wanted to hear if you're
deep into the division that you can find if you
go over and you know you're following me on X
and you look at some of the stuff going on
over there, you realize, I've seen a lot of stuff
about how MAGA has devolved into megat to make America
great again, this make Israel great again. Instead of MAGA,
(23:03):
it's Mega. And I'm like, really, seriously, because of some
of the things that Trump's done, or or that Trump
met with Mom Donnie yesterday, the fact he met was Zoefram.
I wouldn't have done it. If I'd been president, I
would not have met with Zoefram. And the reason I
would not has nothing to do with the fact that
(23:24):
he's a communist, nothing to do with the fact that
I think he's going to destroy New York. But I
would have just let him hang out there. But you
gave him great legitimacy, mister President, by inviting him to
the Oval office. Well, what about the next mayor of
Los Angeles who might be a communist? What about the
next mayor of Houston, Well, for that matter, what about
(23:47):
the next mayor of Podunk nowhere that just might happen
to be a communist. I think it was a mistake
and I wouldn't have done it. But when you when
you live, and I know, politics has become a religion
for many people, and politics is what they live and
die by every single day. Even though you might have
(24:10):
a regular day job, you've got a nine to five job,
you've got a six to six job, you've got an
eighteen hour day job, whatever you've got. For many people,
regardless of what their day job is, their other life
is just consumed by politics. And so when something comes
along that you don't like it, I'm just ow my
hands and walk away. We can't do that. We can't
(24:31):
do that because individual liberty and individual freedom truly does
hang in the balance. And maybe maybe I'm the one
that's pissing in the wind. Maybe I'm the one that
just needs to set back and say, Okay, well fine,
just let it collapse. You'll get your wish. The country
will devolve into civil war or into chaos, or devolve
into communism, and then you know, maybe you know, my
(24:54):
great great great great great great great drank grandchildren will
rise up and turn it back into a constitutional republic.
I don't know. But again I say that no one
man or no one woman can uphold that which is
meant to be a shared responsibility given to all of
us as citizens. So Marjorie Taylor Green, MTG is gone, Okay,
(25:15):
well bye bye and good luck. And I mean that sincerely.
I don't wish her ill. But by the same token,
those who are absolutely appalled and want to join her
because Trump's done a few things they don't like. Versus
everybody that looks at Trump and says he can do
(25:36):
no wrong, I say, on both sides, that's incorrect. Trump's
not perfect. He's done some stuff that I like, and
he's done some stuff that I don't like. Some stuff
I am absolutely convinced. He's playing four dchess and I
haven't quite figured out what the four D chess is.
But as long as we are moving to correct the
(25:58):
mistakes of the past and somehow get this country on
a stronger economic footing, which is not going to happen overnight.
If you listen to me during the weekday, you know
that I spent a good hour to an hour and
a half one day this week talking about how affordability
is a buzzword that we need to avoid because prices
(26:23):
have so many different influences that set a price for
whatever widget or whatever service, whatever good it is that
you're buying, that those prices in general may come down
or some prices are going to stay high because of
things that frankly a president has no control over, and
because of a COVID shutdown which absolutely destroyed the economy,
(26:48):
and not just in this country but worldwide, and so
now we are still almost almost five years later, still
trying to recover from that. So the afford ability issue
is going to be used by Democrats as a cudgel
to try to divide Republicans because those of us who
understand that this is going to be a long term
(27:08):
recovery because it was truly a it was a near
death experience. It was an NDE that we experienced with
the COVID shutdown, and because of the COVID shutdown, we've
been resuscitated. We came back to life, we got a heartbeat,
(27:28):
lungs were working again, the blood was circulating again, but
the tissues still damage and we're still recovering from it,
and we're still trying to move in the right direction.
And it's going to take a long long time to
do that. I hope that the lesson that we learned
from the COVID shutdown was that don't ever let that
(27:49):
happen again. Don't ever let it happen again. Fight it
with everything you have. Because they conducted the experiment, they
showed they control us. We all shouldn't say all of us.
Many of us fell in like sheeple and just hidding
(28:09):
our bedrooms because we were afraid to get out because
of a virus that oh is still around and is
still affecting people and is still causing people to get sick.
There's a story out just last night about measles in Canada.
Measles is now endemic endemic versus pandemic, means it is
(28:31):
just consistent in Canada, widespread and consistent measles. Now, I
suppose if Canada wanted to go backcrap crazy and in
force a shut down or in you know, do force
vaccinations again, whatever it might be, then they maybe they
get measles under control again. But it's a constant battle
(28:56):
for freedom and liberty. An MTG's disappearance from the scene
for me is a big yawn. I'll be right back, Hey,
welcome back. The weekend with Michael Brown. Glad to have
(29:16):
you with me. I appreciate you tuning in. Text line
has always always opened. The number on your message AAP
is three three one zero three three three one zero three.
Keyword Mike or Michael. Tell them anything, ask me anything.
So tell me Crooks. Remember Thomas Crooks that semimary to you.
(29:40):
I imagine a lot of people forgot who it was.
Oh yeah, the guy in Butler, Pennsylvania that tried to
assassinate Donald Trump and came within just a tiny fraction
of an inch of blowing Trump's brains out on national television.
Why on Earth are we funding the FBI when they
can't even tell us the truth about a guy who
(30:02):
came within that split second and a fraction of an
inch of assassinating an American president on TV. Instead, we
got to turn to podcasters or the New York Posts.
Miranda Devine's doing great investigative work about Thomas Crooks, and
she's exposing the truth about the social media footprint of
this dirt bag, a footprint of the line leadership of
(30:25):
the former director of the FBI, Chris Way. Chris Ray,
excuse me, wouldn't even tell us about did you know,
for example, the Crooks was a Trump hating leftist with
a furry fetish. You don't know what a furry fetish is.
If you are our y, go look it up his pronouns.
They then, now you didn't know that. That's because the
(30:46):
FBI let the cabal lie that Crooks was a registered Republican.
Alia began circulating mere hours after the attempted assassination. In fact,
on July twenty four, a couple of weeks after the shooting,
Chris Ray said this, in terms of what we've been
able to find so far, a lot of the usual
(31:08):
repositories of information have not yet yielded anything notable in
terms of motiv or, you know, anything like an ideology. Now,
remember that's the exact same Chris Ray who opined that
we weren't sure whether Trump was even really shot or not. Unbelievable,
even though the New York Times reporter that took the
(31:28):
picture of the bullet whizzing by a pullet through winning
prize photo. I don't think it takes a genius to say,
wait a minute, I told you so. Even a few
days earlier before that day, in July of twenty twenty four,
Ray's partner in crime, the Deputy director of the FBI,
Paul Abode, had told Congress that Crook's social media comments
(31:52):
appear to reflect anti Semitic and anti immigration themes, to
espouse political violence, and are described as extreme in nature.
Oh so it's the right wing violence that kept us
that they kept warning us about during the entire link
of the Biden presidency. It's almost as if they were
getting their narrative talking points from the Autopen and the
(32:15):
cabal was just transcribing what the autopen was writing. Now,
they did report, to be fair, that Crooks had made
a fifteen dollars to nation to the Progressive Turnout Project
back on Inauguration Day in twenty twenty one, but that
only causes people to shrug their shoulders about the ideology
(32:35):
that actually drove you know, Crooks to nearly change the
trajectory of the world and its history. As Miranda Devine
points out in The New York Post, Thomas Crooks wasn't
mixed up at all, thanks thanks to an enterprising source
who uncovered Crook's hidden digital footprints. She wrote, we can
(32:57):
say that a body misled Congress by old mission because
he left out an entire section of Crooks's online interactions
between January and August of twenty twenty, when he did
an ideological backflip and went from rapidly pro Trump to
rabidly anti Trump, and then went dark, never seeming to
post again. Now, why wouldn't the FBI tell us that
(33:21):
Crooks ultimately did a political one eighty in early twenty twenty,
the last year of Trump's term, and then started posting
stuff about fighting the government with terrorism style attacks his
words online. Wouldn't an online posting suggesting that you quote
sneak a bomb into an essential building and set it
(33:42):
off before anyone sees you track down any important people politicians',
military leaders, etc. And tried to assassinate them, wouldn't that phrase?
Wouldn't that sentence raise an eyebrow with those whose job
it is to find those things and detect that kind
of threat and protect the rest of us from that
kind of threat. Well, you know the answer, because it
(34:05):
would have put the victim of the attempted assassination, Donald Trump,
in a sympathetic light and would have therefore hurt the
Democrat Democrats politically because all that was in the run
up to last year's presidential election. Luckily for us, it
ended up not mattering. It was on Friday that Tucker Carlson,
(34:30):
who has neither the financial resources nor the investigative power,
say of the New York Times of the Washington Post,
nonetheless delivered the goods in a thirty four minute podcast.
The rest of fair minded media have since followed suit
and built upon Carlston's reporting. Now, if only Carlson could
resist the apparently overwhelming urged to kill to give softball
(34:53):
interviews to, you know, Hitler loving people like Nick Flantes,
he might have some more credibility. But I digress. But
you have to give Carlson credit. Despite the wild conspiracy
stuff that he seems to be going off on, was
able to at least find this information which really corroborates
(35:14):
whether you want to say he corroborated Miranda Divine and
Miranda Divine corroborated him. Nonetheless, we have at least two
disparate sources telling us that yes, this is the truth
about Thomas Crooks, and this is exactly what the FBI
was hiding from us. Now, Trump's FBI director Cash Pttel
has come out and said that Crooks or Cook's crooks
(35:37):
acted alone. But now people are calling for an investigation
to be reopened, including the widow of the firefighter Corey Competour.
That's the volunteer fire chief who was murdered that day.
I mean, this is really sad. But here's former FBI
Assistant Director Chris Schweicker quote. I wouldn't trust the previous
(35:58):
iteration of the FBI and the bidenminst to not hide
their mistakes and not be proactive when it comes to
Donald Trump and getting out there and trying to intervene
an intercede. Regarding the motivation, we know again that the
previous iteration of the FBI and the Biden administration tried
to convince us that there was only right wing terrorism
and right wing fanatics and that simply wasn't the case. Wow,
(36:23):
and you think that MTG leaving is a big deal. No,
we have a lot of work still to do.
