The impact of coronavirus on national debt. How emergencies effect debt. A man commits murder suicide after fearing a positive virus test. The mental toll quarantine has on people.

Economic Shutdown:  National Debt, Mental Health.

How antibodies could help stop the spread of infections until (if) a vaccine is produced. Clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccine. This is the first time in history, where healthy people were quarantined.

Clinical Trials and Shutting Down the Economy In the Age of COVID-19

Making sense of data between COVID-19 versus other flu strains and where Dr. Fauci is misleading. The media doesn’t report scientific data accurately. Michael’s idea to keep hospital staff employed and utilize airlines to transfer patients. Politicians are afraid to make the first step against the grain. Dr. David Katz and others do not agree with America’s way of protecting the vulnerable.

President Trump Needs a Second Medical Opinion - From Dr. Katz

During Michael's show on KOA News Radio, several callers who are blind called in late in the program.  Their attitudes were so positive that Michael wanted to share their stories on his podcast.  Their optimism and attitude during this COVID-19 crisis is something we should all take into consideration

Attitude Is Everything - Blind Callers To Michael's Show Talk About Attitude

This is a discussion with Weston Distance Learning in Fort Collins, Colorado.  Weston Distance has decades doing distance learning.  While this is focused on what my company, The Blue Cell, is doing with Weston Distance, it's also a great example of how you can do distance learning in the age of COVID-19

Michael Brown Show on BravoCharlieReady.com - Weston Distance Learning

In 2009, Dr. Fauci gave an interview about how to deal with H1N1 influenza.  It is eerily similar to the same advice he gives today, but without the social distancing, closing of businesses and destruction of the U.S. and world economies.  Is this overreaction driven by media hype?  Will it lead to the Great Depression 2.0?  We need to learn to think for ourselves, study the experts with differing opinions, and not fall mindlessly into believing everything the media says about the novel coronavirus or COVID-19.

Pandemic Panic.  Justified Or Not?  What Does History Teach Us?

Home schooling. What makes a business exempt to statewide stay-at-home order. Reactions to pandemic are based on politics, not the Constitution. Mayor DeBlasio discusses closing down streets and other mayors considering the same. Supplies chains would be interrupted road closures. Why congress should repeal the Jones Act and trade should continue during pandemic. What laws need to change in the new normal. What we can do to change the culture of the country for the economy.

Culture of the Country in the Age of Coronavirus

Measles, rubella, mumps, chickenpox, polio, all diseases from decades ago that we can’t even imagine today.  So we’ve become so risk averse that COVID-19 scares us into destroying our economy?  And what’s really happening in Italy and why?  Coronavirus is a disease that might destroy the US economy if we’re not careful.

Past Generations Faced Diseases We Can No Longer Imagine.  The Truth About Italy.

The law of quarantines is quite broad. However, there are some Constitutional limitations, which is why most shelter-in-place orders are very broad with many exceptions.  Michael describes the law, the exceptions, and the latitude people have to travel and do necessary things.

The Law and Limits of Quarantines

Why is the FDA and the CDC dragging their feet on off-label use when clinical trials in four countries, and patient usage in Kansas, already shows efficacy in treatment of COVID-19?

How Long Until Patients Lose Patience

Smart. Funny. Connected.  Former Under Secretary of Homeland Security &amp; FEMA Director Michael Brown provides provocative insight into culture, current events and politics. Get an insider's view of what the mainstream media won't be telling you. He delivers incisive content with humor, wit and smartness.   He gives you an honest inside look that no one else is willing to do.

Awesome show Michael and thank you for your service to this country

9/11

Good to have Brownie back. Always enjoy his thoughtful perspective as well as patented rants.

He’s Back!

Michael Brown Unplugged

Gallup is out with a poll showing how many Americans support and oppose socialism.  But the story isn’t the numbers.  It’s the normalizing of socialism as an alternative political system for the United States.  That’s the result of progressivism and Michael explains why.  Pete Buttegieg’s position on abortion is another example of normalizing something that would be unheard of any a few years ago.  Michael explains executive privilege and what to watch out for on the evening news.  Julianna Margaliese is on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Michael points out their cognitive dissonance.  Belgian pediatricians say a vegan diet is baad for young children and actually issue a “legal opinion” as such.  And, a classic taxpayer relief shot by a convenience story owner. ​

Gallup 40% of Americans Favor Socialism, The Numbers Aren’t The Story,  Politics is Everywhere  And That’s Too Bad.

Robert Mueller

Robert Mueller’s press conference upends the very basics of American jurisprudence - that everyone is innocent until proven guilty.  Michael analyzes the knife attack in Japan and asks why the media doesn’t have the same reaction it has to gun violence. Fat shaming and fat victimhood is a new form of identity politics.  A poll in Germany shows the effects of political correctness on free speech.

Robert Mueller’s Press Conference, Japanese Knife Attacks, Fat Politics.

Michael cites CDC evidence that there is not an epidemic of gun violence in the United States.  And, he discusses the media coverage of the shootings over the past 72 hours.  Finally, someone threatens Michael on Twitter with murder, and Twitter doesn’t care.

Gun Violence

Michael discusses the concept of executive privilege and his fascination with a court ruling that parking chalk violates the 4th Amendment.  He also discusses the anti-gun billboards in Denver, the erasing of Kate Smith and God Bless America from our history, and whether there should be a citizenship question on the next census.  Finally, Michael tells the horrific story of a 3 year old boy abandoned at the U.S. southern border.

Trump Claim of Executive Privilege, Parking Chalk Unconstitutional, Felon Voting Rights, Gun Control Billboard, Innocent Men

AOC &amp; her squad of progressives may cost the Democrats control of the US House.  Former ICE Director Holman responds angrily to a stupid question by a stupid congressman.  The Green New Deal is revealed to be about control of the economy.  Andrew Klavan on humorless humor.  John Hickenlooper doesn’t recognize a crime, mistakes it for free speech.  There is a gold fish invasion.

AOC & Illegal Immigration. How To Answer A Stupid Congressional Question. Restaurants & Minimum Wages. Green New Deal.

Jimmy Carter

Rats infect city hall. Real rats, not human rats!  E-cigs get banned. What do you think are the unintended consequences?  Teens listen to the debates.  Who cares?  Jimmy Carter is losing it.  Antifa riots in Portland are going to get people killed. Where were the cops?  Michael explains the Census question Supreme Court decision.  Sun tattoos are a thing.  And Robert Francis O’Rourke claims God doesn’t control nature.

Bubonic Plague in LA. Rats in City Hall.  In America. E-cigs Get Banned. Jimmy Carter Is Nuts.  Antifa Riots.  Census Question. Sun Tattoos.

Michael watched 5 minutes of the debate and couldn’t take it anymore, so he and his grandson watched Blazing Saddles!  And, Christian Toto joins Michael for Hollywood in Toto.

It’s FRIDAY!  Michael Didn’t Listen to the Debates. Blazing Saddles Instead!  And, Hollywood In Toto!

Rashida Tlaib

George Wallace

Cory Booker

Michael has had too much caffeine this morning and can’t understand what Nancy Pelosi is saying.  What is NAACT?  Is that the same as the NAACP?  Term limits. Good or bad? Rashida Tlaib wants to give money to people who didn’t earn it, from people who did earn it.  Isn’t that redistribution of wealth?  Cory Booker compares President Trump to George Wallace.  Enough with the racism analogies, please.  Elizabeth Warren thinks we’re in bad shape economically.  Can she read?  Nextdoor website is stupid.  Berkeley abandons free speech for Newspeak.  Buffalo, New York is the new Democratic Republic of the Congo.  Who’s next?

Pelosi Speaks, Badly. Term Limits. US Highway 36. Rashida Tlaib & Socialism. Cory Booker & George Wallace. Nextdoor Website.

Michael and Christian Toto talk about “FBI Lovebirds” and how the left is shutting down art it doesn’t like. Michael is enamored with a Georgia congressional candidate who as a former Marine, has ticked off his opponents.

It’s FRIDAY!  Time for Hollywood in Toto. A Georgia Congressional Candidate Ticks Off the Left.

Why is there such panic and almost mass hysteria over the coronavirus and COVID-19 disease it causes?  And, are Democrats deliberately sabotaging President Trump’s attempts to contain the outbreak?  California Governor Gavin Newsom refuses to take the bait from a reporter and instead praises President Trump and the Administration for their response to the virus.

Coronavirus Update. Impeachment Version 2. What Should Individuals Do?

Michael and Christian laugh about The View and Biden’s plan to cure cancer.  And Michael wants you to think about this….if Google, YouTube, Facebook &amp; Twitter are private companies and can de-platform personalities because they are “private” companies, why can’t a bake shop or a sweatshirt​ shop also discriminate?  Think about that for a minute.

It’s FRIDAY!  Hollywood in Toto & The View.  If Google is a Private Company, Why Isn’t a Bake Shop?

Michael and Christian dissect The View, of course.  A woman gets cold fries at McDonalds.  Smart diapers are a thing. And, Hollywood in Toto.

It’s FRIDAY!  Hollywood in Toto.  Smart Diapers.  Cold French Fries.

Eva Peron

Jeffery Epstein

AOC quotes Marxist Eva Peron.  People are going to descent on Area 51?  Idiots!  Mitch McConnell and slavery.  Trump’s Twitter account gets in trouble with the courts.  Is washing clothes just virtue-signaling?  Drinking straw causes death.  Ban them!  Cookie dough proves why America is great.  Losing a friendship over a MAGA hat is just stupid. And, Prager University and FEE explain​s why Jesus was not a socialist.

AOC & Eva Peron. Area 51. Jeffery Epstein.  Gaza Strip. Trump Twitter Account. Washing Clothes? Cookie Dough! MAGA Hats

CNN is convinced Trump is starting a civil war.  Apparently,​ air conditioning is sexist.  The Confederate Underground gets disinvited from a state fair lineup.  Nancy Pelosi says the census question is about counting white people.  Fatphobia is a thing now.  And who owns the lost Apollo 11 moon tapes?

Civil War? According to CNN, Yes. AC & Sexism. Confederate Underground. Pelosi on Census Question. Fatphobia. Lost Moon Tapes.

Tulsi Gabbard

Hillary Clinton

Michael dissects the lawsuit filed by presidential candidate and congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard against Hillary Clinton for saying that Ms. Gabbard was a Russian agent or asset.  Will the lawsuit succeed since all parties are considered “public figures?”  Ms. Gabbard has also sued Google for not displaying advertising she bought during one of the presidential debates.  That lawsuit, if the facts are correct, might have a better chance of success.

Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard Sues Hillary Clinton For Defamation

Michael provides a constitutional law primer on jury selection and Justice Thomas’ dissenting opinion excoriating Justice Kavanaugh and the left’s racial, identity politics.  Michael wants your suggestions on solving the border crisis.  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez uses other peoples’ money for everything.  Google is violating election laws and engaging in election collusion.  Flatulence.  Yes, flatulence.

Justice Thomas & Constitutional Law On Jury Selection.  Solving the Border Crisis.  Google & Election Interference. Flatulence.

Michael discusses the Highlands Ranch school shooting and shows that there is not an epidemic of school shootings in the US. People need to know the facts about school shootings and not let the media use fear or misinformation to guide your thinking about those shootings.  They’re tragic.  But we must be realistic.  Eco-tyranny​ strikes New York.  Liberal tolerance (actually intolerance) is applied to golf.  Animal rights activists attack butchers.  Animals don’t have rights.  Kansas police don’t want nut jobs shooting at tornados.  And finally, remember the story about the United Nations report on those species disappearing?  Michael has some facts about extinct species and the real numbers.  Guess what?  The United Nations is fear mongering.  Shocker!

Highlands Ranch School Shooting, School Shootings Are Not An Epidemic, New York Eco-tyranny, Golf Intolerance.

Michael describes how Mexican drug cartels have overrun Otero County, New Mexico.  Senator Cory Booker wants to violate the Second Amendment with gun registration and gun buy-backs.  Burger King puts out a depressing ad that makes you want to hide in your parent’s basement.  Congressman Al Green tells the truth about impeaching President Trump.  A woman pulls an alligator from her pants after a traffic stop.  And the United Nations issues a dystopian report on Mother Nature that in essence says we should all just go away and die.  It’s madness.

Cartels in New Mexico, Cory Booker & Gun Registration, Burger King Depressing Ad.

Enes Kanter

LeBron James

Michael unloads on LeBron James of the Lakers for his anti-American comments about Hong Kong and China.  He compares those comments to Enes Kanter of the Boston Celtics who pens an op-ed in the Boston Globe about his appreciation for America and all it has to offer.

LeBron James vs Enes Kanter on America & Freedom

Michael talks about how Marxists are like cockroaches.  They don’t like their ideology being caught in the light.  There is a true humanitarian crisis at the border and we’re damned if we do and damned if we don’t.  Michael comes across a phrase about “chocolate starfish” he’s never heard before​ and is grossed out by it.  Why does the Pope want a carbon tax?  Plastic straws on Father’s Day.

Humanitarian Border Crisis.  Marxists Are Out Of the Closet.  Chocolate Starfish (Not What You Think!). AOC & Bernie. Plastic Straws Again.
