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.

The genius of the founding documents,

global instability as we ourselves plunge into

primary season. How have you sheltered your

savings and investments from potential major setbacks

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,
