    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.

    SEPTEMBER 11, 2001: ORIGINAL SAVAGE NATION RADIO BROADCAST - #987

    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.

    IS IT WORSE THAN WE THINK? - #977

    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.

He warns that Western civilization is nearing extinction through internal decadence and a Muslim invasion and seventh-century "throwback" Islam exemplified by Iran. He discusses the wars with Iran and Ukraine and their continuing challenges for the West. Savage illustrates how Israel is a Western "fort" in the Islamic world, raising questions about how long it can endure the never-ending conflicts with the jihadists.

He concludes by encouraging listeners to turn to the Healing Wheel Society to find hope in perilous times. 

  16. 985

    A CASTLE IN THE AIR; The Myth of Socialism - #973

    Savage uses ancient Greek coins and Oswald Spengler's The Decline of the West to frame a discussion of declining civilizations and the rise of socialism. He calls socialism a "castle in the air" that promises free goods but historically delivers failure, citing Cuba, the Soviet Union, and Mao's China. He argues socialism's appeal is fueled by abuses and self-dealing among elites in both parties, high taxation, and a broader Western "winter phase" marked by megacities, rule by money, media manipulation, cultural sterility, and impending "Caesarism." He links recent Muslim electoral wins in New York and Michigan to backlash against Israel's actions in Gaza after October 7 and criticizes Netanyahu's long rule as corrupting. He contrasts envy-driven aspiration with hate-based redistribution, urges hard work and self-reliance, and promotes his podcast archive and past work.

  17. 984

    RADIO GOLDEN OLDIE - October 1, 2007 - #972

Rovin shares about his decision to leave Manhattan in 2019 after sensing a need to get out of the city.  They discuss New York City's deterioration, including rising housing costs, changing politics, and the departure of affluent residents and businesses. They argue that younger generations too often blame older Americans for housing affordability instead of embracing the sacrifices they say were necessary in their own lives. They criticize New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, expressing concern about his policies, his views on Israel, and the direction the city is heading. Ultimately, higher taxes on wealthy residents will accelerate migration to states like Florida and Texas. Savage and Rovin conclude looking ahead to the midterm elections; will socialist candidates dominate the polls?

  19. 982

The conversation then turns to Iran, where Savage and Rovin argue that lasting peace depends on the fall of the current regime. They discuss Iran's nuclear ambitions, the government's internal repression, and the possibility of future political upheaval. They then discuss NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's proposed pied-à-terre tax and the idea of a public database of property owners, arguing these policies could discourage investment, fuel political division, and accelerate the city's economic decline. They conclude by debating work ethic, generational attitudes toward employment, and the challenges of housing affordability in America.

  20. 981

    SOCIALISM/COMMUNISM RISING IN AMERICA. WHO OR WHAT DO YOU BLAME? - #969

    Savage argues that civilizations rise and fall, using examples such as Marquesan war clubs and ancient Greek coins to frame his view that the West is declining because of immigration, liberalism, and the growth of socialism and communism. He fears that the reign of Zohran Mamdani in New York City could be a sign of a looming threat nationally. He discusses Jean Raspail's novel "The Camp of the Saints", interpreting it as a portrayal of Western "spiritual self-hatred" leading to societal collapse. Savage then warns about Democratic Socialists and revisits themes including border security and radical Islam from his 2005 book "Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder." He concludes by discussing his new venture The Healing Wheel Society (healingwheel.org) as a way to reduce religious conflict, encouraging people to practice the religion of their grandparents.   Go to GetSavageGold.com or call (855) GOLD-099.

  21. 980

    IRAN WAR; KILLER DRONES MUST BE BANNED - #968

    Savage argues that "killer drones" must be banned in combat because they violate the Geneva Convention and dehumanize war by turning soldiers into "mincemeat," leaving nothing to return to families. He discusses why we must restore humanitarian standards and reason, comparing rules in warfare to rules in sports like boxing and MMA. He cites existing bans and restrictions on weapons such as  chemical and biological agents, blinding lasers, and cluster munitions to show that warfare already has limits. He then outlines the four Geneva Conventions and core war-crime prohibitions such as torture, mutilation, hostage-taking, and biological experiments. He reads passages from Isaiah and Rudyard Kipling's "If," urges de-escalation to avoid wider war and nuclear risk, and calls on the public to speak out.

  22. 979

    AMERICA FIRST; AMERICANS LAST? - #967

    Savage reflects on his tweet, "America First, Americans Last?, arguing that recent U.S. foreign and domestic policies are failing to improve the lives of ordinary Americans. He criticizes escalating conflicts involving Iran and Ukraine, contending that they have contributed to economic strain while Americans continue to face high gas and food prices. Savage also questions official inflation figures, claiming they understate the true cost of living. He warns that the war and rising cost of living will drive voters towards Democrats and socialist policies. He then reads a Muslim listener's message warning about Muslim Brotherhood rhetoric. He concludes by calling for an end to the bombing campaign and emphasizing resilience, gratitude, and faith in the face of uncertainty.

  23. 978

    AMERICAN PATRIOTS VS. AMERICA HATERS - #966

    Savage exposes how Bernie Sanders and other anti-American Democrats must be defeated by American patriots. He calls for an investigation into Sanders' background and his visits to the Soviet Union.

He speculates as to why there is a resurgence of socialism in the Trump era. He then warns that the United Kingdom is a bellwether for what could happen to America. Listeners tell Savage how London, Munich, and other European cities have been transformed by communists using radical Islamists.

    DEPORT MAMDANI - DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM MUST BE CRIMINALIZED - #963

    Savage reacts to Mayor Zohran's Mamdani's seditious Independence Day speech. Savage warns that the United States is approaching a political crisis as communist and socialist ideologies pose a growing threat. He recounts the rise of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge's rule in Cambodia that resulted in the deaths of millions. Drawing parallels between Cambodia's history and the U.S., Savage argues that similar outcomes could occur if democratic socialism gains influence. He advocates criminalizing democratic socialism, reviving congressional investigations similar to the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), limiting judicial intervention, and deporting movement leaders. He  warns that the leftwing radicals seek to tear down Western civilization, most importantly, the United States, and build it back into something alien to our principles and under their complete control.

    AMERICA 250 - BORDERS, LANGUAGE, CULTURE - #962

    Savage argues that America and Western Europe face an existential "invasion" enabled by a complicit media and "internationalist" leadership, claiming mass immigration threatens national identity defined by his three themes: borders, language, and culture. He condemns multiculturalism, multilingual ballots, and cultural decay. He returns to his 2002 bestseller  "The Savage Nation: Saving America from the Liberal Assault on Our Borders, Language, and Culture" that warned of chaos leading to tyranny and called for massive deportations. As we mark America's 250th Declaration of Independence, Savage urges listeners to be "soldiers" rather than "slaves."

He then exposes the biased and antisemitic three member UN-linked commission that has accused Israel of committing genocide.

    Savage sits down with Dr. Michael J. Hall, MD founder of the Hall Longevity Clinic in Miami Beach and author of Infinite Youth: Solving the Aging Equation. Drawing inspiration from his grandmother, who lived to 104, Dr. Hall defines longevity medicine as a proactive, integrative form of functional medicine that focuses on optimizing health rather than simply treating disease. He discusses key lessons from population studies of long-lived communities, introduces his concept of the "Aging Funnel"—which balances genetic factors with lifestyle choices—and addresses common misconceptions surrounding fad diets and health misinformation.The conversation explores evidence-based strategies for healthy aging, including a Mediterranean-style diet, meal timing, and reducing processed food consumption.

    BELFAST ATTACK - THE UNITED ISLAMIC STATE OF EUROPE - #956

    Savage reacts to the attempted street beheading in Ireland and the killing of Henry Nowak in England. He warns that these crimes reflect the consequences of European immigration policies and political correctness. He recalls the Daniel Pearl beheading and his prophetic chapter "Unmasking Islamofascism," from his 2005 Bestseller "Liberalism Is A Mental Disorder." In the book, he predicted that radical Islam was a global political movement that would threaten Western Civilization. He warns that Western cultural degeneracy and demographic decline signal dire days ahead for Europe and America. Having been banned from entering the United Kingdom in 2009, Savage was "a canary in the coal mine" for the collapse of the once-great empire.

  34. 967

    VIKINGS OF THE DESERT - #955

    Savage warns that we are living through a more militant form of Islam today than we have seen in over 150 years. He examines the past to expose how a sect of Islam has emerged that is intolerant and into total subjugation and conquest. What can America learn from the fall of England, France, and Belgium to radical Muslim conquest? He argues that New York City Mayor Mamdani is the tip of the spear to the Muslim Brotherhood and he should not be dismissed as a friendly, benevolent character. Savage still holds onto hope that the more peaceful coalition of Muslims will prevail, but warns that Western Europe may serve as a warning signal to the United States.

    VOTE COUNTING IN CALIFORNIA; THE LONGEST IN THE WORLD? - #954

    Michael Savage takes aim at California's slow vote-counting process, arguing that the state's weeks-long election tabulation has become a symbol of deeper political dysfunction. Comparing California to places like Florida, Germany, India, and Argentina, Savage questions why one of America's largest and most technologically advanced states takes so long to produce final results. He also reflects on his appearance on Gavin Newsom's podcast, where he says he pressed the governor directly on the issue and received what he describes as a vague "word salad" response. From there, Savage broadens the argument into a larger critique of California's political leadership, taxes, population loss, and the exodus of residents and wealth to states like Florida, Texas, and Nevada.

Davis explains why retirement accounts may not be truly diversified if everything is still tied to the dollar, and Savage warns about runaway spending, currency revaluation, and the dangers of trusting banks with your financial future.

    RIOTS ARE NOT PROTESTS; ARREST THEM ALL, NOW! - #953

    Savage argues that the unrest outside ICE facilities should not be treated as legitimate protest, but as riots and insurrection. He traces American protest movements from the Boston Tea Party to civil rights, Vietnam, Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, and modern anti-Trump demonstrations, contrasting lawful dissent with what he sees as organized intimidation and political agitation. Savage calls for the arrest and deportation of non-citizens involved, warns that birthright citizenship and activist legal groups are weakening the country, and frames the moment as a test of whether America will remain a nation of laws.

    Michael Savage interviews retired Army Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis about China, Taiwan, Iran, and his book The New AI Cold War: Liberty vs. Tyranny in the Age of Machine Empires. McGinnis says the Trump–Xi summit produced pomp but few substantive outcomes, possibly favoring Xi. He argues AI was central given the executives traveling with Trump. They discuss Taiwan as strategically vital due to geography, allied credibility, and semiconductor dominance, and unpack Xi's "Thucydides trap" warning. Turning to Iran, Maginnis frames a "fork" between tolerating Tehran's nuclear progress or seizing and dismantling dispersed facilities, a difficult ground operation with uncertain intelligence. The conversation closes on AI's sweeping military and societal impact, China's open model strategy, and potential theological implications.

    The Cuban Question: Did Trump Trade Sphere-of-Influence with China? - #949

    Savage speculates that President Trump may have discussed a sphere-of-influence understanding with China: U.S. freedom of action in Cuba in exchange for Chinese leeway over Taiwan. He argues Cuba has been devastated by decades of military-backed communist dictatorship, leaving people desperate for medicine and food, and warns the U.S. must avoid an economic collapse that could trigger another Mariel-style migrant crisis. He suggests the U.S. appears to be moving toward a Venezuela-style playbook of removing Cuba's leadership, then working with friendlier leaders to rebuild the economy, revive tourism, and spark massive investment. He contrasts this with the Taiwan risk, mentions rumors of moving Taiwan's chip industry to Arizona, and concludes Americans mainly care about pocketbook issues—gas, bread, and inflation.

    THE ROARING 20'S ARE BACK! WHEN WILL THE BUBBLE BURST? - #948

    Savage explains how the U.S. feels like a replay of the Roaring '20s—corruption, excess, and a looming crash—citing national debt surpassing GDP and high gas prices in California. He compares HBO's "Boardwalk Empire" to today's "gangster capitalism" and then shares how Napoleon III serves as a cautionary tale about prosperity undone by war costs. Savage says he's alarmed by pressure on President Trump from pro-war talkers and the military-industrial complex to escalate the war in Iran, warning this could draw in Russia and China. He then reads from Mao's "Little Red Book" where Mao calls "democratic socialism" a road to communism. He concludes by condemning Bernie Sanders and the Communist Party while calling for divine help for America.

    IRAN WAR; WHO WILL WIN THE CHESS GAME? - #947

    Savage weighs who is winning the Iran-US war "chess game." He explains how Iran aims to hurt Trump electorally while losing about $450 million a day in oil revenue, turning the standoff into mutual damage and a test of how far Tehran can push without being bombed. He reveals that the wars in Iran and Ukraine have drained U.S. munitions. He then warns that the Iran conflict could cost Republicans the House, Senate, and presidency, ushering in far-left leadership. Savage says Trump is being pushed by advisers and foreign allies to act too soon; he urges Trump to "declare victory," negotiate quietly through the midterms, and strike harder only later if necessary, comparing Iran's fanaticism to wartime Japan.

    TEXAS HERO, TED TURNER & THE LONGEVITY SCAM - #946

    Savage cheers a Texas father who fatally shot a carjacker threatening his family and says he deserves a Medal of Freedom, not charges.

He rips into the wellness industry's expensive longevity gadgets and cryotherapy fads, calling them moronic compared to basic nutrition. He closes by reading from his newly republished book "Reducing the Risk of Alzheimer's."

    VITAMINS & the MIND - #945

    Savage dives into the forgotten science of orthomolecular medicine and its power to treat mental illness through nutrition. He pays tribute to unsung genius Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D., who gave his discoveries to humanity for free. He gets personal, revealing how zinc recently cured his recurring prostatitis and restored his lost sense of taste. He reads from his newly republished book "Reducing the Risk of Alzheimer's," covering selenium dangers, aluminum's role in brain destruction, and Dr. Cathcart's bowel tolerance theory for vitamin C.

    BERNIE SANDERS IS A THREAT TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY - #944

    Savage blasts Bernie Sanders for his subversive meeting with Chinese AI researchers. He calls to revive the House Un-American Activities Committee and target Sanders.

He shares a story about a conversation about a privateschool teacher ranting about Trump instead of teaching students.

    STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS; from ISAIAH to MICHAEL SAVAGE

    Savage delivers a "stream of consciousness" talk, saying he turns from suffocating political "hysterical realism" to literature, music, and free association.

He then praises Trump's "borders, language, culture" message and calls for stronger force to clean up cities. He shares about his movie cameo with Jon Voight, and ends on a faith-themed line: God can change fate "in the blink of an eye."   Call (855) GOLD-099 or go to GetSavageGold.com right now.

    LIBERALS RADICALIZE WHCD SHOOTER - #943

    Savage quotes "sic semper tyrannis," linking John Wilkes Booth's justification for killing Lincoln to a recent attempted assassination of President Trump. He explains how psychopaths like the would-be assassin rationalize violence. He blasts liberals and media figures that radicalize unstable people with constant propaganda. He then points to security failures that enabled the dinner attack. He warns that Democrats will become more violent.

    SPLC Under Fire for Alleged KKK Payments and Alleged Fake Hate Crimes - #942

    Savage discusses Trump's DOJ indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center on 11 counts — alleging it funneled over $3 million in donor funds to white supremacist and extremist groups to help stage hate crimes. The DOJ claims the group used shell companies to conceal the activity. He stresses what an important development this is. He then suggests the Trump Administration investigate the ACLU and its alleged subversive activities. An emotional childhood memory that should serve as a warning for us all concludes the show.

    CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT IS DEAD - #941

    Savage declares the conservative movement effectively dead, arguing that core principles like fiscal restraint, limited foreign entanglements, and cultural cohesion have been abandoned by both parties. He criticizes ongoing foreign conflicts, rising government spending, and what he sees as a broader shift toward socialism influenced by Barack Obama, while revisiting his book "Government Zero" and outlining his "40 points to save America," including his immigration policies, economic reforms, and a restructuring of government priorities. He also warns of cultural and political decline in the U.S. and Europe, argues that radical Islam remains a central threat, and closes by urging listeners to develop their own plans to restore the nation while maintaining a cautious sense of hope.
