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.

In this prescient interview, Savage speaks with Pat Buchanan about issues that would become increasingly important in the years that followed, including China's growing economic power, national security, foreign ownership of American assets, cybersecurity, trade deficits, manufacturing losses, immigration, and American sovereignty. Savage argued that the proposed 3Com deal involving Chinese telecommunications company Huawei should be blocked on national-security grounds, questioned Goldman Sachs' influence in Washington, and urged Americans to apply the kind of public pressure that helped stop the Dubai ports deal.

Michael Savage opens with a prescient quote from Malcolm Muggeridge arguing the West is "training its own destroyers." 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 explains how the rising tide of socialism, preached by New York's Marxist Mayor Mamdani and Bernie Sanders, threatens the future of the United States. He concludes by encouraging listeners to turn to the Healing Wheel Society to find hope in perilous times.
