AMERICA IN DISTRESS: A Time for War - #988

Savage describes a favorite painting, Coulter's "Sailboat in Distress," as a symbol of lives and nations reaching a point of no return. He recounts attending a religious dinner he found "weak," criticizing religious leaders for telling victimhood stories instead of emphasizing survival and strength. He links this to America's decline, liberalism, immigration, and industrial complexes around homelessness and immigration. With rising antisemitism under the label "anti-Zionism," he warns Jews not to accept the term. After his dinner with President Trump he spoke with Israeli IDF pilots, discussing Israeli submarines and military culture. He contrasts strong Jewish images with weak stereotypes popularized in Hollywood. He concludes about raising resilient children and rejecting weakness.

Savage shares his original September 11, 2001 radio broadcast on the 25-year anniversary of the attacks, arguing that many Americans, especially younger generations, no longer know who attacked the U.S. or why. Citing a New York Post headline,  only two states require 9/11 be taught and that schools and universities are filling the gap with lessons blaming America and downplaying Islamic terrorism. Hear the first hour of this historic broadcast as Savage reacts in real time to the tragic events. He argues terrorism is financed and trained by governments, urges closing borders, ending asylum and student-visa abuses, and advocates immediate, extreme military retaliation against training camps and sponsoring capitals. He cites reports of celebrations in Cairo and condemns political correctness, "ultra-tolerance," and open immigration as contributing factors, while rejecting calls to "not rush to judgment." Savage interviews his son Russ, who urges community preparedness and networking, and later adds a historical monologue on early Islamic conquests as a warning about modern immigration and Europe.

Dinner with President Trump recounted in a stream-of-consciousness style. Savage and his son Russ were invited are featured. Chaotic travel on United Airlines. His stay at the historic Natirar estate hotel in New Jersey as well as the President's arrival on Marine One helicopter. The intimate dinner only included four people and the President. Details are shared from the momentous evening including humorous moments and the President showing him the new Presidential Cadillac. Details about the dinner discussion involving the war with Iran and the economy are touched on. Savage concludes with his visit to Manhattan and sadly ponders whether he will ever live to see the President in person again.

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.
