THE SAVAGE NATION

In this Election Day special, Savage speaks with bestselling author Dinesh D'Souza about the political forces shaping America's future, the challenges facing Republicans in the midterms, and the growing influence of socialism within the Democratic Party. They examine concerns about the intersection of socialist and Islamic movements, the potential influence of Sharia law, and the history of India's partition and the creation of Pakistan and Bangladesh. D'Souza then discusses his new book, "The Stones Cry Out," making the case that biblical archaeology provides compelling evidence supporting the Bible and exploring how the foundations of Western civilization are rooted in "Athens and Jerusalem." They also examine Israel's historical legitimacy and survival, investigations involving Rep. Ilhan Omar, and the alarming decline of education, historical knowledge, and understanding of America's cultural and religious foundations.

Savage interviews journalist John Stossel about why younger Americans are increasingly drawn to socialism and the dangers of expanding government control. Drawing on Stossel's television special contrasting a Polish man's firsthand experience under socialism with an American college student's opinions, they examine how government programs and regulations can undermine freedom, economic opportunity, medical innovation, and affordable housing. Savage and Stossel challenge the promise of "free" benefits, arguing that government intervention can create dependency, distort incentives, and stifle progress. They also debate wealth inequality, the War on Poverty, Cuba's economic collapse, and how taxing the wealthy will destroy the lives of ordinary Americans.

Savage invokes the fable of "The Scorpion and The Frog" to explore the growing threats to American society, criticizing movements with radical Islam, communism, and the "enemy within." From the riots in France and the costs of welfare and healthcare to illegal immigration and California's political battles, Savage revisits Proposition 187 and the legal challenges that followed. He discusses U.S. District Court Judge Araceli Martinez-Olgui's order blocking a Trump administration investigation into noncitizen voting. He takes aim at politicians and media figures, and reflects on his earlier books, including "The Enemy Within", "Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder", and "Stop the Coming Civil War."  Warning of deepening cultural divisions and the possibility of civil conflict, Savage shares reflections on a private dinner with President Trump and what could happen next after the midterm elections.

Savage reacts to the disturbing footage of riots and looting in France, warning that a dangerous "Red-Green Alliance" of leftists, communists, and Islamists poses a growing threat to Western civilization. He blasts French President Emmanuel Macron for weak leadership, condemns mainstream media outlets for downplaying the chaos, and questions why American networks are not showing viewers the full extent of the unrest. Calling for decisive action, including martial law and military intervention, Savage warns that similar turmoil could erupt in the United States, drawing comparisons to the Black Lives Matter riots and raising alarms about immigration, political radicalism, and the erosion of law and order. Savage delivers a fiery warning about what he believes is the West's accelerating decline and asks whether America is prepared for what may be coming next.

First Radio Show - March 21, 1994
Savage argues fear of lawsuits prevents firing incompetence, leading to promotions and broader societal decline, and invites listeners to share "horror stories." He also critiques a New York Times Magazine proposal to let police stop, frisk, and seize weapons from "likely suspects" without probable cause.
 
"Dr. Un-Savage"

Savage, calling himself "Michael Un-Savage" after visiting "Dr. Pot," claims marijuana has liberated him from "truth, reason, and the American way" and launches an extended satire of liberal positions. He reverses earlier views on Iraq and Saddam Hussein, mocks religion, morality, and "logic," blaming the Bible on vitamin-deficient ancient Hebrews. Through calls, he endorses ideas such as sex education over science, buying non-American products, raising skilled-worker immigration, higher taxes and welfare voting, and defending the Clintons amid the Lewinsky scandal. He makes outrageous claims about NAMBLA, gun control, and abortion, repeatedly asserting that whatever "feels good" is right, before saying the marijuana is wearing off and he feels "the savage coming on."
