0:13
language culture. Here he
0:15
is Michael Savage. You.
0:19
Were talking about this and that I'm
0:21
not going to reveal it because then
0:23
we go backwards and forwards. Were shocked
0:26
at the President's naked, the power grabs
0:28
and the absolute vacuum on the other
0:30
side Were shocked at the concerted effort
0:33
between a New York Times Obama. And
0:36
others to revise, eliminate the Us.
0:38
Constitution, throw it out to all
0:40
over again and we're talking about
0:42
the Us. Supreme Court and things
0:44
of that nature. All. Boring stuff
0:46
that you probably would have gone to sleep. Over.
0:49
In high school? I know I did. I
0:51
couldn't take courses like this. And. As
0:53
I said, the minute the teacher start talking
0:55
about the constitution our founding fathers, it was
0:58
like you know, sleep time But you know
1:00
as you get older you realize. There.
1:02
Was a reason. That. The

instill in us. The. Wisdom of the
1:08
Founding Fathers The Genius As a matter
1:11
of fact of the Founding Fathers. And.
1:13
The genius of the founding documents,

global instability as we ourselves plunge into

3:00
To Nine Eight Nine Eight Nine
3:02
Eight. And
3:07
when you have a president like Obama. Who.
3:10
Is frustrated that he can't force
3:12
congress. To. Implement every aspect of what
3:14
he said. Listen to it. listen the clip Want to
3:17
get? You have to hear it. Was
3:19
frustrated people as or that I
3:21
have not been able to force
3:23
Congress to implement. Every
3:25
aspect of. What I said
3:28
in two thousand and Eight Wealth it
3:30
all turns out that of our founders
3:32
design a system. That.
3:34
Makes it more difficult and bring about change
3:36
than I would like. sometimes. See.
3:39
Obama relax because he was talking
3:41
to the subterranean. Matt Lauer
3:43
who is a stooge of General Electric. And
3:46
Matt Lauer had the golden opportunity to stand up
3:48
for freedom. But he didn't because he doesn't even
3:50
know what freedom is is nothing but a. While.
3:53
You know what I'm going say, And I can't use
3:55
such words. On. a national show i'll
3:57
call him a subterranean that's my new catchphrase
4:00
for the vermin on the left, the
4:02
rats, the vermin, the snakes, the cockroaches,
4:04
the lice who hate our
4:07
freedoms, who fear the people, who detest
4:09
every freedom that you have. So
4:12
I now use one catchphrase called subterranean
4:14
because it summarizes my feelings
4:17
in a more genteel manner.
4:19
And of course, as you well know,
4:21
we all must be very genteel since
4:23
we have a sophist for president who
4:26
is extremely genteel and extremely dangerous in
4:28
the fact that he uses his genteel
4:30
ability to literally usurp the U.S.
4:32
Constitution as often as he can. Now
4:35
if I were advising the Republicans, which of course is not
4:37
the case because A, I'm not a Republican and B, they
4:39
don't listen to the show. I don't know who they listen
4:41
to but they're committing Harry Carrey in front of our eyes.
4:43
I would play the Obama sound bite during
4:46
the campaign. I wouldn't stop playing it. When
4:49
he says I've not been able to just play the
4:51
forced Congress piece once again. What's
4:54
frustrating people is that I have not been able to force
4:58
Congress to implement
5:01
every aspect of what I
5:03
said in 2008. Well, stop
5:05
right there. Stop right there. So then if
5:08
it's Romney, they play that and they say, do you
5:10
want a president who wants
5:12
to force Congress to
5:14
follow his will? No. Vote
5:17
for a true Democrat. Vote
5:20
for a man who loves the Constitution. Vote for
5:22
Mitt Romney. They won't run it though because
5:25
if they run it, you'll probably get
5:27
the impression that you're not living in a republic
5:30
or a democracy, which they don't want you to
5:32
have. So let's move on
5:34
to the callers on many other topics. There
5:39
is news out there, just that it's not
5:41
that exciting because it's just
5:43
more about the corruption of the Obama administration.
5:45
Little things like that. Another
5:48
$500 million loan went up in smoke for another
5:50
fake electric car company given to
5:52
them by the slush fund called the DOE, run by
5:54
that former college teacher
5:56
who won a Nobel Prize in physics.
5:58
Therefore, he's a genius. They
6:00
used them just as a stooge, a front man. College
6:04
vending machine sells morning after pill. Should
6:06
U.S. arm Syrian opposition? John
6:09
Dumb McCain says that
6:11
it's time for the U.S. should consider sending
6:13
weapons to rebels. Moron. Moron
6:16
McCain does it again. Do
6:18
you agree with McCain? Do you think
6:20
the U.S. should get involved now in Syria? Why
6:23
don't you have Saudi Arabia get involved in Syria?
6:25
Answer because they're as despotic as Syria. Why
6:28
don't you have the European Union do something other
6:30
than watch child porn in Brussels? Answer
6:32
because they like to sit and
6:34
watch child porn in Brussels. Do
6:36
you think the U.S. should
6:38
consider sending weapons to so-called rebels in Syria?
6:40
Now let me make another prediction for you.
6:43
Since I'm the only one in the media who saw what was coming
6:45
in the Arab crescent in Egypt,
6:48
etc., and I told you what was happening
6:50
long before anybody else, that's
6:52
right, mark my words, old Mike Savage, old
6:55
Doc Savage sort before anybody else. I told you
6:57
what was going to emerge. I told you that
6:59
the murderous, freedom-hating, women-hating,
7:02
U.S. hating Islamists would win
7:04
in Egypt. And I told you that would happen
7:06
even though Hillary Clinton was going about with her
7:09
fake smile giving the big lie about the Arab
7:11
Spring. It was blowing up in their faces. Now
7:13
we see what they have wrought there. Now
7:17
as bad as Assad is, and he's pretty
7:19
bad, do you actually
7:22
think that the so-called opposition is going
7:24
to be any more democratically inclined than
7:26
Assad? I will tell you they won't
7:28
be. I will tell you
7:30
right now that the Syrian opposition so-called
7:33
will be as corrupt and as
7:35
anti-U.S. as are the Libyan
7:40
so-called rebels who we supported like
7:42
fools. They will be just as
7:44
corrupt and just as Islamists as
7:47
the Islamists who have taken over
7:49
Egypt. So am I arguing that
7:51
I'm in favor of the bloodshed? Of Course not, but
7:53
you'll say I said that, which doesn't matter to me
7:55
because you always distort what I say. My enemies always
7:58
distort what I say. What
8:00
I say is what I say And what I say
8:02
is when I write, when I write is what I
8:04
say. What I say is when I write some Not
8:06
afraid of what my opposition says about me. What matters
8:08
is that you look at my statements for what they
8:11
are in my books. And
8:13
in my articles and on my radio
8:15
show so I may ask you made
8:17
a big question: should the U S
8:19
consider selling weapons to rebels as John.
8:22
Ah the The Claude thinks we
8:25
should mccain. I mean, this guy
8:27
as stupid as eat He sounds. Lawmakers,
8:30
Suggests Us consider arming Syrian
8:32
rebels as graphic videos emerge.
8:36
John dummy Mccain and other lawmakers call Tuesday
8:38
for the Us to consider arming the Syrian
8:40
opposition. It as new videos emerge for pointing
8:42
show the body aftermath of the weekend some
8:44
aspirin the Syrian city of Homs. The
8:47
bloodletting has gotta stop Said Mccain The
8:49
shame. The. Obama administration's
8:51
up push back on the idea, stressing
8:54
instead the options of humanitarian assistance and
8:56
increased international pressure. I actually agree with
8:58
Obama. We. Don't need another war. I'm
9:00
sorry. I agree with them. I. Mean
9:02
even a stopped clock is right. Twice
9:04
a day. We
9:06
don't think more on said the series. The
9:08
answer said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland. Well.
9:11
Maybe they learned their lessons in the in
9:13
Egypt there at Augusta mean Libya. They.
9:16
Sent weapon F the weapon after weapon and was have
9:18
gotten them. Remember Russia and
9:20
China block the Arab League proposal calling for
9:22
Syrian President Assad the Sept House. So if
9:24
we would ascend arms to Syria would be
9:26
going to war with Russia and China. We
9:28
have the A A A de facto. A
9:31
de facto war with Russia and China.
9:33
Something's wrong with this picture. There's.
9:37
Very bad people are dying. I
9:39
mean, Assad's a murderous brutal dictator.
9:41
We. Know that, but who do things waiting? In
9:44
the wings in these despotic nations.
9:47
What? Do you think they're going to be
9:49
democratically oriented people? Never. It's not
9:51
gonna happen. It's. Not going to happen. They.
9:54
Don't have the basis to even understand what a
9:56
free a free people are. This isn't the for
9:58
the problem that you don't understand. Many
10:00
of you are brainwashed children of the liberal
10:02
establishment. and you think that all people are
10:04
equal around the world in terms of educational
10:06
value in terms of education and values. And
10:08
you think that if they have freedom, they're
10:10
going to use it for the betterment of
10:12
the majority of the people. You don't understand
10:15
that. they don't understand that. You understand it.
10:17
They have no such ideas. In. There,
10:19
it's not even in the of Dna. They don't know
10:21
what freedom is. Are all
10:23
it means to them as grabbing as much
10:25
power as they can as fast as a
10:27
Canada and asserting and against their enemies. And
10:29
so when you combine that with the religious
10:31
fanaticism in the Middle East, what you have
10:34
is exactly what Hillary Clinton, Obama, George Soros,
10:36
Brzezinski, and Caught Us have fostered in Egypt
10:38
or the Way to Libya Analysis now that
10:40
calling for it in Syria No, I disagree.
10:43
Not. One color on this I handle on what's wrong
10:45
with the people in an interest in anything. Did.
10:48
They bring. I think the American people are jaded. I
10:50
said you wiped out. I. Believe
10:52
that Newt Gingrich has destroyed America.
10:55
I personally believe that Newt Gingrich responsible
10:57
for the destruction of the America Mind.
11:00
I. Personally believe that Fatso has destroyed
11:02
the republican party and republic itself. I'll
11:04
be right back. Seventy

or thing about Syria. We've moved from.
12:52
The emerging dictatorship in America to
12:55
the over dictatorship of Syria. And
12:58
we see the slaughter of innocents or
13:00
shall I say opponents to of the
13:02
Assad regime. And. We
13:04
all oppose violence have that kind.
13:07
However, We're. Now in a
13:09
situation where. The. Idiot John
13:11
Mccain who encouraged arming the Libyan rebels
13:13
and we could see who they are
13:16
today. Ah, The Libyan rebels
13:18
as you well know a worse than the Qaddafi
13:20
was. Thus far, and they've yet
13:22
to assume maximum power now, John Mccain
13:24
is saying we should send weapons. To.
13:27
Sit to the Syrian opposition I say idiotic
13:29
and I agree with the Obama. State department
13:31
says that that's not going to help things
13:34
and ah, we should use a humanitarian and
13:36
diplomatic maneuvers in the interim and I happen
13:38
to agree with them as as as terrible
13:40
as the slaughter is would only be worse
13:43
if we set more weapons and mora. Are.
13:45
Such. Incendiary items into
13:47
Syria. At this time we have a
13:49
call from Texas. Go ahead please. You're
13:51
on a savage nation. Michael.
13:55
Oh. Yeah, Jeff Smith, I really
13:57
appreciate what you're saying. That.
13:59
like of us against John McCain's
14:02
advocating sending arms
14:05
to the rebels in Syria. We
14:07
need to get out of that area and
14:09
let those folks take care of themselves. It's
14:12
a real shame that
14:15
such atrocities occur in other nations,
14:17
but we just can't be everywhere
14:19
all the time. No, haven't
14:22
we learned from Iraq and now Iran
14:24
where we have had no
14:26
effect whatsoever in Iran? Sorry,
14:29
Afghanistan rather. Haven't we learned that
14:32
foreign intervention doesn't always work to
14:34
the advantage of the American people?
14:36
Well, we should have learned, but I tell
14:39
you Michael, perpetual
14:41
war is
14:43
one way leaving slaves
14:46
their own people. Why
14:48
is McCain such a war hawk
14:51
when his instincts
14:53
are always wrong here? Look
14:55
what he did in Libya. He was wrong about
14:57
arming the Libyan rebels, so hasn't he learned from
14:59
that? Obviously not. No,
15:02
they haven't learned. There's
15:04
obviously some agenda that
15:06
we're not aware of that they're pursuing. Well,
15:08
I'm going to tell you, here's my fear
15:10
about what the agenda is for a guy
15:12
like McCain. He fronts from any military,
15:16
what shall I say, contractors, and
15:20
war is good for them. That's the unfortunate
15:23
ugliness of what I think is going on here. Well,
15:26
that's true. That's that military-industrial
15:28
complex is what Dwight Eisenhower
15:31
warned the country about. That's
15:33
right. Beware the military-industrial complex,
15:35
which I've changed to the
15:38
government media complex. But
15:40
here we have Lindsey Graham suggesting arming the Syrian
15:44
opposition. Joe Lieberman
15:46
has done the same. Why don't they just put on a uniform and
15:48
go over there and fight with the rebels? I
15:51
wish they would. Why wouldn't McCain and
15:53
Graham and Lieberman just get on uniforms
15:55
and become generals in the Syrian
15:58
opposition army? Well,
16:01
they know that the generals of
16:03
our military and admirals of our
16:05
military are not allowed to use
16:07
their military expertise to
16:10
win wars, and they don't want to
16:12
be there. They would rather
16:14
be controlling those generals and admirals
16:16
and blaming those generals and admirals.
16:19
Well, there's an interesting article that I
16:21
posted on michaelfabish.com about a lieutenant colonel
16:23
who's been through seven or eight tours
16:26
in the war zones, and he says it's a complete lie
16:28
coming out of Afghanistan. We're losing
16:31
at every turn. Wow.
16:34
I'm looking- No, it's horrible. This is Lieutenant
16:36
Colonel, combat Lieutenant Colonel,
16:38
who says the men are
16:41
dying to get out of Afghanistan.
16:44
We've had no impact whatsoever. The
16:46
Afghan police are corrupt. The Afghan
16:48
government is corrupt, and that the
16:50
administration and the politicians are lying
16:52
about the so-called successes in Afghanistan.
16:56
McCain should surely know that. Well,
16:58
he should. I don't know
17:00
why he won't believe it. We've
17:03
got a congressman, Lieutenant Colonel Allen
17:06
West. He's not my congressman, Ted
17:08
Poe's mind, but Allen West is-
17:12
I'm certainly hopeful that he gets reelected,
17:15
but the people in Republicans
17:17
in Florida don't want him. And
17:19
they're- Well, no, I had Allen West, Congressman
17:21
at West, on my show last Friday, and
17:23
he told the sad truth that the Republicans
17:26
have gerrymandered his district to an extent that
17:28
it's now a democratically Democrat majority district. They
17:30
want him out of business because he is
17:32
a true conservative and a combat veteran. That's
17:35
what the Republican Party has become. It's
17:37
basically Democrat light. I thank you
17:39
for the call. Any other
17:41
callers, guys, on the Syrian
17:44
question of whether we should be funding the
17:46
opposition? Edward, welcome to the Savage Nation. Yes,
17:49
sir. How are you today? Let
17:52
me tell you about my background. Maybe you will understand
17:54
where I'm coming from. Can you hear me, sir? Yes,
17:57
please. Okay. I used to
17:59
be a negotiator. in the Red
18:01
Cross in the Middle East and the
18:03
first and last lesson
18:05
I've learned that you cannot negotiate
18:08
or help Islamic
18:10
movement. It's very, very device
18:13
and they are planning on their
18:16
own plan. They will
18:18
fool you, take your money,
18:20
secure their help and then they
18:22
will turn around and stab
18:24
you in the back. Wait, wait, let me
18:27
see if I follow you. I think I do. You're
18:29
saying that the opposition is
18:31
not unified and fundamentally they're
18:34
not worthy of support? I'm saying
18:36
we should not fund anybody who is
18:38
Islamic and I'm sorry if I offend
18:40
anybody because the Islamic laws
18:43
and Islamic beliefs are
18:45
against our beliefs. So what
18:47
they do is they will use us as
18:49
a key to enter the door
18:52
and they went enter when they were entered
18:54
in the door. They will close the door
18:56
behind them on us. So
18:58
this is what happens in Iraq. Interesting.
19:00
Well that's what happened to us in
19:02
Iraq, that's what's happening to us in
19:05
Afghanistan and now McCain wants
19:07
us to do it in Syria again? They will
19:10
do it in Syria. Now I tell you what, if
19:13
the United States Reagan time listened
19:15
to the voice of reason to the Christians
19:18
in Lebanon, we could have had
19:20
a base in Lebanon that would
19:22
have been a big threat to
19:24
everybody. But we
19:27
lost that base because... Yes, I remember
19:29
that horror of what happened in Beirut.
19:31
It was a horror, just
19:34
a horror. Thank
19:36
you for the call. I'll be right back here on the Savage
19:38

20:44
What the topic really is is democracy.
20:46
So why should we be concerned about
20:48
Syria is the question. McCain
20:51
says we should send arms to
20:53
the Syrian so-called rebels. Apparently
20:55
that fool hasn't learned his mistakes yet in
20:58
arming Libyan rebels. What have we
21:00
wrought? Are the Libyan rebels
21:02
our friends? Are you crazy? They're
21:05
going to be far worse than
21:08
Qaddafi. Just as the
21:11
Muslim fanatics who have taken over Egypt are
21:13
going to be far worse for us than
21:15
was Mubarak. Just as
21:17
Ahmadinejad and that band of psychotics
21:19
are far worse than
21:22
was the leader
21:24
of Iran at that time, who they
21:26
drove out, a pro-Western
21:28
man. They drove him
21:30
out on a rail. They ushered in
21:33
worldwide Islamic terror around the globe. That was
21:35
Jimmy Carter. So now we have it happening
21:37
all over again under Carter II.
21:40
That would be Obama. That's the
21:42
mini Carter. At the best he's a mini Carter, although
21:44
I don't even think he's a mini Carter. At least
21:46
Carter served in the U.S. submarine fleet. Obama
21:50
was a street organizer while we could say
21:52
Jimmy Carter was at least a patriot and
21:54
served in the U.S. military, which is a
21:56
beautiful thing. Have
21:59
we not learned our lesson? Should the
22:01
US arm Syrian rebels? I
22:04
say absolutely not. If anyone's going to arm them,
22:07
it should be the European Union. Where's
22:09
the European Union on this? Why don't they do anything
22:11
along those lines? What is this? The
22:14
United States is the world's policeman? We haven't
22:16
learned from our disaster in Iraq, our disaster
22:18
in Afghanistan. Now we're going to get involved
22:20
in Syria? This is total insanity. Virginia
22:23
Beach, Toby, do you agree or disagree? Should we be
22:25
in Syria? Yes or no? Oh,
22:28
no. Oh, no. Definitely not. I
22:30
think they need to handle their own issues. We fought for
22:32
our freedom and they should fight for theirs. But
22:35
we fought for our freedom and Obama says that
22:37
it's not free enough for him because he can't
22:39
impose his will on the Congress. How do you
22:41
like that statement today? Oh, see, I don't like
22:43
that. I don't like all the freedoms that they're
22:45
taking away from us either over the last 10
22:47
years. I don't either. But
22:50
thank you, Toby. Should US arms Syria in opposition?
22:53
John McCain has learned nothing from his mistakes
22:56
and he says that we should send weapons to
22:58
the rebels. And
23:01
many of you, of course, know this is another disaster.
23:03
See, there's something you should know
23:06
about government, all governments, good, bad,
23:08
and indifferent. They're dysfunctional.
23:10
In fact, the more democratic a government,
23:12
the more dysfunctional it is. Let me repeat
23:14
that. I don't know if you understand the theorem.
23:18
The more democratic a
23:20
government is, the more dysfunctional it
23:22
is. The more
23:24
authoritarian a government, the
23:27
less dysfunctional it is because it gets everything
23:29
done that it wants immediately
23:32
or else people wind up in internment camps or
23:34
in death camps. So I
23:36
think a dysfunctional government is a sign of
23:39
a healthy democracy, which is the lie that
23:41
Obama's putting out. Oh, Congress is the problem.
23:43
They're standing in the way of its progress.
23:45
You don't understand the big lie, do you?
23:48
They're supposed to stand in the way of its
23:50
progress if it's, let's say, against the will of
23:52
the people or unconstitutional or too expensive, whatever. You're
23:55
supposed to stand in a dictator's way. That's
23:59
how it was set up. And the only countries
24:01
where governments are extremely functional are
24:03
the dictatorships. North Korea,
24:05
very functional government. Extremely
24:08
functional. They starve the people to
24:10
death and they live like kings and
24:12
princes at the top. Very
24:14
functional government. But
24:16
we have a dysfunctional government. Israel's a very dysfunctional government.
24:18
I don't know if you know that. The
24:21
Knesset is a marketplace of
24:23
ideas. They argue all the time.
24:26
They're at odds with each other over
24:28
everything because Israel's a true democracy. So
24:30
it has a dysfunctional government in
24:33
that regard. That's a healthy side. Saudi
24:36
Arabia is a very, very smoothly
24:38
efficient government because it's a
24:40
dictatorship. So listen to what I
24:42
just said to you. I mean, look,
24:44
what can I say to you? Wisdom
24:46
comes from various sources. And
24:49
what you just heard is quite wise. Take
24:51
it for what it is. New
24:53
York, WOR, Kathy, go ahead, please. You're on
24:55
the Savage Nation. Dr. Savage,
24:57
I was listening to President Obama
24:59
Friday after the release of the
25:02
jobs number, the so-called 8.3
25:04
percent, the decrease in
25:07
jobs. And he was speaking on a
25:09
number of topics. And he
25:11
got to the topic of green energy,
25:13
which always has to be squeezed into
25:15
anything he says. And
25:17
I just bristled. And I heard him
25:20
say, and I've heard him say
25:22
this before, he said that he was going
25:24
to double down on
25:26
green energy. And it made
25:28
me so- Well, you've got to remember something.
25:31
The green energy rubric is a slush fund
25:34
for Democrat donors at the highest level.
25:38
You understand that? That when you put a billion
25:40
dollars into a fake company, some of it flows
25:42
back to your campaign? Well, they're
25:44
not donors. I think they're more like betters.
25:48
I disagree with you. How do we know how
25:50
much of the Solange money wound up back in
25:52
the hands of Democrats? We'll
25:56
never know, but it's not good. It's not good
25:58
for- No, it is not good. No, it's
26:00
a slush fund for the Democrat machine. That's
26:02
what green energy is. It's sort
26:05
of this PC area where I'm for
26:07
green energy. Oh, who's against green energy?
26:10
Well, anybody who knows that green energy
26:12
is fraudulent is against green energy. We'd
26:15
all like cars that run on the sun. I'd
26:17
love to have a car that runs on sunlight. It doesn't exist. Sacramento,
26:21
Mary Ann, on the Syrian question. Go
26:23
ahead, please. Yes, Dr. Savage, I want
26:26
to compliment you. You're the
26:28
only one taking a correct interpretation of
26:30
what's occurring in Syria. I
26:32
have extended family there and also
26:34
in Beirut. The media,
26:37
unfortunately, is not getting out that what is
26:39
really occurring is, as you are articulating,
26:42
a clash between the Saudi
26:45
faction, including the Kurds, and
26:48
the Christians who are aligned with the Alawites.
26:51
Let me see if I can follow this. Who
26:54
comprises the majority of the
26:56
Syrian opposition? It's
26:59
Kurds currently and those
27:01
who are Sunni and
27:05
some Turks because Syria is comprised of
27:08
many different people since the changing of
27:10
the border. And
27:12
Homs is traditionally a city that
27:14
is Sunni. Okay,
27:16
so is this a Sunni-Shiite battle
27:19
again? It's
27:21
a Sunni, the Christians,
27:25
the Syrian Jews and
27:28
the Assyrians, A-S-S-Y Assyrians,
27:31
are aligned together with the Alawites,
27:33
which of course is what Assad
27:36
is. And
27:38
the opposition is being fueled by
27:40
the Saudis. It's Saudi
27:42
money due to the fact that... I
27:44
see. So Assad, as dictatorial
27:46
as he is, has the support of
27:48
the Christians and the Jewish-Syrian community? Yes.
27:52
Amazing. Amazing. I
27:54
really, truly didn't know that. But
27:56
I do know this, that if we haven't learned
27:58
by our mistakes and I... Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya,
28:01
when are we going to learn? Well, there's
28:03
a large Assyrian, as you know,
28:05
Assyria, A-S-S-Y-R. No, no, I know
28:07
I have an Assyrian friend
28:09
who explained to me who the Assyrian people
28:11
are. I actually have someone of that background
28:14
in San Francisco, so it's not a stranger
28:16
to me. Right. Yeah,
28:18
well, that's basically what's going on. So am I
28:20
the only one who got this right instinctually? Is
28:23
that it? Yes, because you
28:25
understand the historical imperative relative to the breakup
28:27
of the Ottoman Empire, and that's basically
28:29
what you're still dealing with that sort
28:31
of factionalism. But why is it that
28:33
McCain would be so dumb that he
28:35
would say send weapons to the so-called
28:38
opposition? Well, he's an
28:40
idiot, and he doesn't understand the
28:43
sophistication of what the opposition comprises.
28:46
And does he also work for the defense
28:48
contractors who would benefit from sending weapons to
28:50
Syria, do you think? Oh, absolutely.
28:53
Absolutely. I think that McCain
28:55
is long known to be part of the
28:57
military industrial complex and fundamentally is
28:59
a salesman for these corporations.
29:01
The first al-Qaeda enclave was
29:04
in Arizona. That's
29:08
why you had the whistleblower out of the Phoenix
29:10
office of the FBI. So
29:13
Arizona- Oh, you mean right
29:15
under McCain's nose? Yes. And
29:17
this is all- Wow, what a disaster he's been.
29:19
Ever since he set off that rocket on the
29:21
aircraft carrier, he's been a disaster
29:23
for America. He's been continuously setting off rockets
29:26
in Congress. This guy is a rolling danger to
29:28
the country. Well, I grew up in Coronado, so
29:30
we all know about McCain. So maybe- Wow,
29:33
he is so misunderstood by the American people.
29:35
I mean, he's got our sympathy because he
29:37
suffered for so many years at the torture
29:40
of the hands of the Vietnamese in the
29:43
Hanoi Hilton, but that doesn't justify what he's
29:45
been doing ever since. No, my mother worked
29:47
for Admiral Stockdale, so everybody in
29:49
Coronado knows McCain's storyline. Wow.
29:53
Well, at the end of
29:55
the conversation between us, Mary Ann, the
29:58
bottom line is you say don't- arm
30:01
the so-called Syrian opposition.
30:04
They're a false opposition. It's an
30:06
inter- false opposition. Correct. So
30:09
what you're not arguing that Assad is a benevolent
30:12
leader are you? Absolutely not. Absolutely
30:15
not but what we don't want is
30:17
another we don't want any more Christians
30:19
and affiliated people who were at least
30:21
sophisticated and educated massacred
30:23
and that's exactly what's going on.
30:25
Aha. So Assad is
30:29
I see what you're saying so the opposition
30:31
is going to be what more or less
30:33
the Islamists again the uneducated Islamists? Assad speaks
30:36
fluent French he's an ophthalmologist
30:39
he's highly educated. Well that doesn't mean
30:41
anything. Mengele was a doctor but I
30:43
mean so that he has a professional
30:45
background doesn't distinguish him in any way
30:47
necessarily but what I'm asking you are
30:49
the opponents to Assad fundamentally
30:51
going to fall in line with the Islamist
30:54
crescent that is emerging in the Middle East. Yes.
30:57
Well that's that's a very important
31:00
point because I intuitively sense that.
31:02
I intuitively sense that the so-called opposition in
31:04
Syria who Anderson Cooper is crying for again
31:07
on the on a television set because they
31:09
look so good in tight dungarees and they
31:11
all have cell phones so therefore they all
31:13
must be modern and good. Again he's feeding
31:15
into the the propaganda line of the emerging
31:17
Islamist factions
31:20
in the Middle East as the moron did in Egypt. Okay
31:23
I see it. Well I guess it
31:25
takes a little a little
31:27
time and patience to really understand what's going
31:30
on and not be a knee-jerk liberal who
31:32
says well he's a bad guy and they're
31:34
the good guy. I'll
31:36
be right back. Savage. Home
31:38
of borders. Language. Culture. Boss.
31:41
Savage. Nation. And
31:44
the band played on as the good ship
31:47
America has struck the iceberg with the captain
31:49
at the helm saying that the crew doesn't listen to
31:52
him and he has no ability to tell the crew
31:54
what to do while the ship is going down. We
31:57
have a bishop in Harrisburg PA who
31:59
says that Hitler and Mussolini would
32:01
love our public school system. Here
32:03
finally is a voice coming out of the
32:05
church that gives all free men hope.
32:08
Listen to clip 20. In
32:10
the totalitarian government they
32:12
would love our system. This is what Hitler
32:14
and Mussolini and all them tried to establish.
32:17
A monolith. So all
32:19
the children will be educated in
32:21
one set of beliefs and one way of
32:23
doing things. A
32:26
Pennsylvania bishop says Hitler and Mussolini would
32:28
love our public school system. Bishop
32:31
Joseph McFadden, I don't know if you
32:33
listen to the Savage Nation but you're
32:35
a hero to all of us for
32:38
daring to break with the church and stand up to the
32:41
incredible dictatorship that
32:44
we see emerging under our right under our
32:46
eyes right under our noses. But
32:48
the issue today that we're talking about right now
32:50
on the Savage Nation is really not the educational
32:52
system nor the corruption
32:54
of the administration which is astonishing.
32:58
Astonishing. A daily astonishment. We
33:01
are talking instead about Syria. Syria
33:04
if you look at the map is adjacent
33:06
to Iraq. We
33:08
have not learned from the debacle in Iraq
33:10
and now John the Shane McCain says we
33:12
should be arming the rebels. International
33:16
pressure grows. Bombing of rebels
33:18
resumes by Assad and the
33:20
US now is told by McCain and
33:22
others leave him in the warmonger. McCain
33:25
the warmonger and
33:28
a few others that we should be
33:30
sending at least weapons to Syria. They
33:32
haven't learned what disasters they
33:34
have fostered from Libya
33:36
to Egypt let alone
33:38
the disasters of Iraq and Afghanistan but now
33:40
they're saying now let's get involved in Syria.
33:43
So I ask the American people listen to
33:45
the Savage Nation what you
33:47
think? That's what I'm asking
33:49
you. What do you think? Do you agree
33:51
with McCain that we should be sending arms
33:54
to the Syrian people? I don't
33:56
think so and I know so. Some
33:58
disagree. Bala and I... Idaho, go ahead, you're on
34:00
the Savage Nation. Thank you, Mr. Savage. I
34:03
just must say, look to our history, look
34:05
to our revolutionary war. Who helped us during
34:08
that? The French, the French actually supplied us
34:10
weapons because the British were bringing in higher
34:12
guns, but they call them the Huns, another
34:14
racist term for the Germans. Well, wait, let's,
34:16
okay, that's a good point, but did the
34:18
French do it out of altruism or because
34:21
they wanted a part of the natural resources
34:23
of the United States? I think
34:25
out of both. We have interest
34:27
there as well for preserving peace and
34:29
stability around Israel. What do we actually
34:31
need in Syria? We
34:33
need to have a nice stable area
34:36
in Syria. We need to have it stable. Wait, we
34:38
need a stable Syria. Could it get more stable than
34:40
what we have with Assad? It
34:42
needs to be more stable. I mean, Assad's not at war with anybody,
34:44
is he? Are you sure that
34:47
the opposition will not go to
34:49
war with its neighbors, including Israel
34:51
immediately if it attains power? We've
34:53
gone to war with Mexico. We went to war with
34:56
France during our revolutions. Wait, now you're changing the topic
34:58
again. We're talking about Syria. I think we need to
35:00
focus on one nation. So
35:02
let's go back. Did we win anything from going
35:04
into Iraq? Did we
35:07
win anything? Absolutely not, no. Okay.
35:09
Have we won anything by meddling in
35:12
Afghanistan? Absolutely not.
35:15
So we're pragmatists. Have
35:17
we been right by backing the so-called
35:19
Libyan rebels and killing Qaddafi? Yeah,
35:22
because we didn't put boots on the ground. We just gave
35:24
them weapons. We helped them. But do
35:27
you know what has emerged in Libya? They're
35:29
pulling the toenails out of diplomats
35:31
from other countries. They're
35:34
monsters. These are Islamic monsters.
35:36
I'm not saying that at all, but I'm saying
35:38
we do very terrible things here. What about Egypt?
35:40
We had Mubarak, who was our best friend for
35:43
almost 40 years, and Hillary Clinton and
35:45
Obama and Soros overthrew Mubarak and told us that
35:47
it would be a new dawn in Egypt. You
35:49
know what's going on in Egypt, don't you? Yeah,
35:52
it's a birthing democracy. We
35:55
had a revolutionary war ourselves. No, it's
35:57
not a birthing democracy, a birthing Islamic
35:59
dictatorship. what world are you living in i'm
36:01
where you said where you saying the muslim brotherhood is
36:03
a good thing on absolutely not
36:06
but freedom of the good that's where the
36:08
web women that's who is taking
36:10
control of the jet all
36:12
control of the trip no fair not
36:14
all control your your sensationalizing and i
36:16
respect you like you don't even know
36:19
like when i'm not sensationalizing it the
36:21
muslim brotherhood is becoming the dominant political
36:23
force in egypt uh... so
36:26
do that do they are they going to go to
36:28
war with israel are they going to keep their problems
36:30
on the israel aside they actually have said that they
36:32
will they actually have said yes that's one
36:35
of the chief things that they want to do uh...
36:37
as by the way have
36:40
the up opponents to a side in syria
36:42
they have said that the minute they have
36:44
power they're going to receive the good the
36:46
goal on heights setting off world
36:48
war three i i think you've got to
36:50
see the chest game here not the checkers game will
36:53
live outside is a puppet for iran we absolutely
36:55
know that this ought to be being propped up
36:57
by iran so anything well i don't know that
36:59
we know that i would we read that the
37:01
side of the popular by ran looks to me
37:03
like the opposition uh... our pockets
37:05
of iran i highly
37:07
doubt that i know that i thought
37:09
is in bed with iran wholeheartedly letters
37:12
a ball that we disagree on on
37:14
on who's in bed with who what
37:16
business do we have in syria right now after
37:18
all the mistakes this country has made ever
37:21
since vietnam you know
37:23
i believe that we have a uh... uh...
37:25
obligation as a free country who was helped
37:27
at one point against the biggest most largely
37:30
you're talking in a vacuum no bala we
37:33
no longer this rich great wealthy powerful
37:35
nation that can go around the world
37:38
helping uh... at other countries were
37:40
a basket case ourselves we're wholly owned
37:42
by china and other countries where we
37:44
supposed to get the money from i've
37:47
i've told don't count it out there brother i
37:49
know you're a real american i know you are
37:51
here from your heart and the initial all the
37:54
time don't get me wrong i hear you're coming
37:56
from but you know we have something greater to
37:58
export everyone and that is free and yes,
38:00
they need to fight for it, but we need to
38:02
help them with real weapons. Well, I understand the idealism
38:04
that you are expressing, but in this case I think
38:06
you're on the wrong side of the equation. It's
38:10
very similar to Mubarak. As dictatorial
38:12
as he was, as oppressive as
38:14
his regime was, he was a
38:16
better friend to America than are
38:18
the emerging Islamic fascists in Egypt.
38:20
And I would say that that
38:22
quotient holds in Syria as
38:24
well. As horrendous as
38:26
Assad is, I believe that what
38:28
is waiting in the wings will be much worse,
38:30
especially for our security interests.
38:34
Moreover you're ignoring the fact that China and Russia have
38:36
vetoed any attempts to intervene in Syria. You know that
38:38
this would put us at odds with China and Russia,
38:40
which is not a good thing right now. No,
38:43
I hear you and I respect you. Alright, well let's
38:45
go away friends. You know, we don't have to disagree
38:47
with each other and hate each other as a result.
38:49
We're not Democrats after all. We're decent
38:52
Americans and conservatives. We can disagree and go away
38:54
friends. Well,
