Savage sits down with author Jeff Rovin for a wide-ranging discussion on some of today's most contentious political issues. They examine the Senate hearings involving Anthony Fauci, discussing his repeated invocation of the Fifth Amendment, the departure of his legal counsel, and the true purpose of the hearings. 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.
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.

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.
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.
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. Savage discusses Sanders' radical proposals and the growing influence of leftwing groups like Antifa, calling for it to be labeled a terrorist group. 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.
Savage recounts meeting Senator Lindsey Graham during Trump's first term. He recalls appreciating Graham's frank, humble personality, but detesting his warmongering policies. He argues Graham's death at 71 was a heart attack or travel-related clot, rejecting claims Russia, Iran, or others killed him. He then shifts to commentary on immigration-related sexual crimes in Germany, cultural decline in Europe and Ireland. He covers Conor McGregor's comeback loss and injury, while discussing aging, mortality, and health. He discusses his final Newsmax TV episode after 72 shows and his plans moving forward. He will be focusing his energy on his Healing Wheel Society (healingwheel.org)
When one door closes, another one opens... Savage announces that this Sunday will be his final Newsmax TV show after a year and a half, explaining that he wants to dedicate more time to the Healing Wheel Society ( healingwheel.org ) and focus on spiritual matters. He shares that he will continue producing podcasts and broadcasting live on X, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Rumble, and Libsyn, while making occasional guest appearances on Newsmax, including Fridays on Rob Schmitt's program. Reflecting on endings, his childhood in Manhattan and the Bronx, and the importance of strong alliances, Savage also warns that the United States is entering a dangerous political period. He argues against communism and gun confiscation, citing historical examples, and discusses themes from his book "God, Faith, and Reason." He then veers into the political arena, discussing security concerns surrounding the Qatari airplane gifted to President Trump. He concludes with sharing his experience filming a scene in the film "The Last Firefighter" and his possible future in acting.
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.
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."
Savage shares about his transatlantic adventure taking us back to 1965 on the Spanish island of Majorca. He recalls traveling through Europe as a student, sneaking first-class ham sandwiches, and a short-lived European romance. After the pair part ways in Paris, he continues alone to Spain and decides to remain there. Danger soon finds him in Majorca's expatriate bar scene. After receiving warnings from a local bar owner, Savage has a tense encounter with a former New York mob boss living in exile. After being followed and threatened, he decides it's time to end his European affair.
Savage argues that an organized Islamist influence campaign is gaining ground in the United States. He contends that some figures within the right-wing movement have adopted anti-Jewish rhetoric by using the term "Zionist" and are amplifying narratives favorable to Iran. He then exposes the biased and antisemitic three member UN-linked commission that has accused Israel of committing genocide. He warns Americans to be vigilant after the socialist sweep in New York City elections. He fears that Zohran Mamdani is the tip of the spear to the Muslim Brotherhood and the beginning of a multi-stage strategy for Islamist expansion in the West.
Savage introduces his concept "constellation of happiness." He encourages listeners to focus on the fleeting moments of joy life offers despite the suffering and struggles of everyday life. He criticizes the media and modern society for undermining fathers. He urges men to pass joyful memories to their children. He then recounts overcoming youthful despair without medication by finding respite in music and Lin Yutang's "The Importance of Living." Savage emphasizes ancestors, free will, and returning to the religion of one's grandparents. He concludes with themes from his book "God, Faith, and Reason" and reminds us to respect the father's sacred role in creating and protecting life. Go to GetSavageGold.com or call (855) GOLD-099.

He argues the West is being undermined by mass immigration and New World Order forces. In response to the shocking Belfast beheading attack, Savage blasts leftwing radicals for their suicidal policies. He condemns liberal institutions for the invasion of Western nations.

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. Dr. Hall also explains advanced diagnostic tools now available and the role of comprehensive screening in early disease detection. Beyond nutrition and medical testing, the discussion underscores the importance of resilience, stress management, spirituality, prayer, and kindness as fundamental pillars of long-term health, vitality, and well-being.

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.
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.
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.
Savage speaks with Shannon Davis, CEO of American Alternative Assets, about retirement savings trapped inside a collapsing debt system. They discuss why gold and silver remain outside the printing presses, the pressure from America's $39 trillion debt, and how rising bond rates hit regular families through mortgages, credit cards, car loans, and inflation. 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.

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.
Savage evaluates President Trump's record through a self-styled "Trump scorecard," grading key campaign promises, successes, or unfinished business. He offers concern about the war with Iran, the growing national debt, the failure to abolish the IRS, unresolved conflicts in Ukraine, unreleased Epstein and JFK files, the lack of a Fort Knox audit, and what he sees as a failure to hold officials accountable for past scandals. At the same time, he credits Trump with creating DOGE, exposing an estimated $300 billion in government waste, and securing the border without additional spending.
