Michael Savage kicks off a rapid-fire review through the stories dominating the headlines—from Trump, Iran, gas prices, California politics, and the state of society. He discusses the high profile Lindsay Clancy murder trial, sharing insights about postpartum depression and the nutritional depletion following childbirth. He shares from his book "Healing Children Naturally" and challenges the modern reliance on medication. He then turns deeply personal, reflecting on his own father's tough-love approach, the lessons he tried to instill in his son, and what it takes to raise courageous children in an increasingly chaotic world. Savage connects the headlines to a larger question: How do we stay strong, think clearly, and raise strong people in an increasingly uncertain world?

(February 4th, 2011)  Savage arguing with a crazed liberal Chicago caller, Ronnie. He discusses his books, the U.S. political "oligarchy," takes more calls, and questions why WikiLeaks hasn't released cables about his Britain travel ban.

Savage interviews Newsmax founder Chris Ruddy about President Donald Trump's legacy, the midterms, and the political impact of the Iran war. They discuss how higher gas prices and the rising cost of living may pose a threat to Republicans in the midterm elections. They discuss the Iran War, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership, and the potential consequences of the conflict for both America and Israel. They then address the rising antisemitism online and increasing anti-Jewish hate crimes. Ruddy breaks down recent FCC rulings that could encourage broadcast consolidation, reduce competition, and threaten independent outlets such as Newsmax. The conversation concludes with Ruddy sharing about his upbringing as one of fourteen children in an Irish Catholic family. 

Savage shares why life "sucks," happiness is fleeting, and accepting life's difficulty makes it easier to handle. He argues American weakness comes from media and cultural delusions that everyone should be happy. He criticizes reliance on government "crutches and a fantasy culture fueled by TV and movies. He recalls growing up with radio, valuing imagination, and says creative people transform sadness rather than suppress it with drugs. He then advises parents to teach children reality and how to be alone and resilient. Savage then reflects on the passage of time. He ponders why the passing of time feels faster with age? He urges younger people, even those estranged from their parents, to cherish them because the bond is irreplaceable.    Go to GetSavageGold.com or call (855) GOLD-099.

Savage shares his dark vision for America. He speculates about what will happen to the U.S. after Trump leaves office, arguing that economic pain could fuel a "revolution at the ballot box." He predicts rapid leftward political change amid a younger, more diverse population. He then revisits his 2015 book "Government Zero" where he outlined 40 actions to save America that will be unraveled by radical progressives. He describes how these measures could save America from decline, including starting a nationalist party; closing borders for seven years; deporting illegal aliens in prison; repealing "anchor babies"; making English the official language; voter ID; civics education; military reforms; cutting government; repairing relations with Russia; mutual defense with Israel while ending foreign aid; recognizing radical Islam as the enemy; allowing profiling; economic and financial reforms (Fed mandate, ending H-1B, flat tax, Glass-Steagall, uptick rule, tort reform); ending affirmative action; limiting welfare/unemployment; curbing NSA data collection; defending free speech, religion, press; and opposing military exercises in cities.

Michael Savage opens by asking who can be trusted anymore, arguing that media, medicine, science, academia, and other institutions have lost credibility, and he pivots from daily political coverage to faith, suggesting God and the Bible as the remaining bedrock amid rising cynicism and depravity. He cites violent crime stories, criticizes sensational news and Hollywood's "darkness," and discusses how having children stabilizes men and gives life meaning. 

In this classic radio episode, Savage explores the question, "What is truth?" through a mix of politics, religion, immigration, personal experience, and warnings about psychedelics. He and callers discuss psychedelic drugs, including LSD, psilocybin, and MDMA, with callers describing frightening experiences, addiction, trauma, and lasting psychological consequences. Savage questions claims about the therapeutic benefits of psychedelics and challenges the overly optimistic media narratives surrounding them. Savage and callers converse on themes of reality, ego, faith, and human survival and conclude with warning that audiences should remain alert to manipulation and deception.

What is actually happening in the Middle East? Savage shares a secondhand account from a Navy father whose son returned from an aircraft carrier deployment claiming morale is at an all-time low. Some sailors are questioning the war with Iran, believing they are fighting a proxy war for Israel and blaming Israel for long deployments. Are suicide attempts being underreported? What role does propaganda play on both sides? Savage argues that unclear targets, prolonged sea time, and poor diet are impacting morale. He then reacts to the latest headlines and closes with a warning about Iran's willingness to absorb casualties and fight to the death. He concludes with a tweet a follower sent him, "The greatest trick the antizionists managed to pull is institutionalizing the idea that they're a minority fighting for freedom against an empire, and not a part of one of the largest empires in human history fighting to extinguish a tiny, unique, native civilization."   Go to GetSavageGold.com or call (855) GOLD-099.
