THE SAVAGE NATION

00:06 And now, the world's most exciting podcast, The Savage Nation, home of borders, language, culture. Here he is, Michael Savage. 00:19 Hello and goodbye. 00:21 I have an important announcement to make, which is that this Sunday will be my final show on Newsmax TV. 00:29 It's been a fabulous, fabulous run. 00:33 And I made a decision that in these troubling, perplexing times, I'm going to try to devote myself more of my time to the Healing Wheel Society that I created. 00:45 And you can follow that at HealingWheel.org. Of course, you can continue to follow me on my podcasts at A Savage Nation on X, on Facebook, on YouTube, and on Instagram. I will also do... 01:01 guest appearances on Newsmax from time to time, most notably on Fridays on The Rob Schmidt Show, and occasionally on other shows as a contributor. I want to thank all of you for all of your support. It was a great, great show that we had on Newsmax TV, but there comes a time to say goodbye to everything, and I said goodbye, and this Sunday will be my last show. It's that simple. 01:25 One door closes, another door opens, and we don't know what new doors may or may not open. It's up to God, not up to me. I believe God's hand is involved in virtually all the big moves in our lives, not the little moves, not what we eat or things of that nature. 01:42 not what we breathe. But I think the big things are somewhat celestially coordinated. I don't know how it works, obviously. I'm just one of seven billion of us crawling around here trying to figure it all out. 01:59 So again, I want to thank you for your phenomenal support. 02:02 Savage. 02:03 Michael Savage, a host like no other. 02:07 gold gold gold gold gold that's all we hear about right well america just turned 250 years old and i'm talking about gold because they threw a big party fireworks parades flags everywhere yeah well you know nobody mentioned this at the celebration that the dollar has lost 97 of its value since the fed was created in 1913 and 25 of that just since 2020 did you hear that right 25% of that loss since 2020. In five years, a quarter of your purchasing power gone. 02:39 You felt it at the grocery store this weekend. You felt it at the gas pump. You felt it every single month when your retirement buys you a little less than it did the month before. Your account balance hasn't changed, but what it buys has. Your $500,000 buys what $375,000 bought just five years ago. 02:58 Nobody asked your permission. Nobody sent you a notice. It just happened. The founders wrote gold and silver into the Constitution for a good reason. They watched paper money collapse during the revolution. They knew what politicians would do if you let them control the printing press. 250 years later, they were right. And your retirement is the proof. My friends at American Alternative Assets built a free 30-second assessment that shows you exactly how exposed your retirement is to inflation right now. 03:29 Five questions. Takes less than a minute. No phone call required. Just go to getsavagegold.com or call 855-GOLD-099. 855-GOLD-099. Getsavagegold.com, 855-GOLD-099. The founders protected their wealth with gold. 03:48 250 years later, you still can do so. Just go to GetSavageGold.com or call 855-GOLD-099. GetSavageGold.com or call 855-GOLD-099. 04:02 You know, this is one of those topics that no one really wants to think about, but if you're a parent, a homeowner, married, or helping take care of aging parents, it's something that honestly deserves a little attention. I'm talking about estate planning. And before you tune out thinking it's complicated or expensive, that's actually why I want to mention trust and will. Trust & Will makes estate planning feel way less intimidating than it sounds. They offer modern, attorney-designed wills and trusts that you can create online. And the process is surprisingly straightforward. 04:33 In fact, you can create a will in as little as 30 minutes. That includes things like guardianship for your kids or pets, how your assets are distributed, and even healthcare directives. Don't wait until it's too late.

Trustandwill.com slash F-U-T-U-R-E. 05:05 So I will be doing live broadcasts as long as God gives me the brain and the body to do it. 05:15 We're living in very dangerous times for America and for our freedom. The smirking con man from Uganda has changed the entire quotient politically in this nation. 05:27 The communists have found a smirking con man. 05:32 And in an age filled with marijuana-induced moronic youth, anything might happen in this country. 05:41 Short of deporting him back to Uganda where he belongs, let him go back to Idi Amin's home country before he himself becomes... 05:49 the smirking EDR men in this country. 05:52 Short of that, I don't know where this is going to end up. 05:55 We have so many millions of moronic young people and old line reds in this country that we could have a communist revolution unless drastic measures are taken. 06:07 But I don't run the government. 06:10 Others run this government. 06:12 So Michael is saying goodbye. 06:15 And, uh, I'm just going to give you some sites to follow me on. It's that simple. 06:21 Again, for those of you who have subscribed to my show on Newsmax TV, it's been a year and a half of every Sunday. I didn't miss one Sunday. 06:29 Strangely enough, my first guest was Tucker Carlson when he was still rational. It was a great interview. 06:37 And I would recommend that you try to watch... 06:41 well, I don't think you can't watch unless you subscribe, to some of my interviews on Newsmax TV. 06:48 I'm going to devote all of my remaining time and energies to my Healing Wheel Society, as I told you, healingwheel.org, and devote myself to spiritual issues if I can. I'm going to try not to be too political. And my podcasts continue to be very important. You can follow them on libsyn.com. 07:07 X, you can follow me on at a Savage Nation. Of course, here on YouTube and Instagram as well. 07:16 Friday's on the Rob Schmidt Show. 07:19 There's not much more I have to say about this. I'm not going to do a news show right now. It's just going to be short and sweet. 07:25 So it's never fun to say goodbye. 07:30 You understand? 07:32 It's never fun to say goodbye, but everything comes to an end. 07:37 Everything comes to an end. You will come to an end, whether it's in your career, in your marriage, even your life itself. You have to prepare for the end of things. 07:53 Everything that has a beginning has a middle and an end. 07:57 And most of us don't know how to deal with ends. We're all pretty good in our lives and As we swim through the currents of our existence, we figure out how to navigate the wild waters and survive. 08:13 Well, I've survived these 84 years thus far. 08:19 I was born in Manhattan, grew up in the Bronx, and I can't say it was an easy life. 08:25 I can't say it was a particularly tough life when I see what goes on in the third world. 08:31 If you're born in Mexico today in bad neighborhoods, you have to fight for your life or you'll be killed. 08:36 It wasn't that bad in the Bronx, but it wasn't that easy as you may think. 08:42 It was still a fight for survival. 08:44 In the 1940s, it was a wild time in America. And people were nakedly mean. 08:51 There was no controlling what people did to each other, especially when nobody was watching. Kids were like, they were like savages. Somebody used the word. 09:01 And you had to learn how to defend yourself. 09:04 And you needed to create alliances with tougher kids in order to survive. It was that simple. You literally had to join a little group. 09:14 I did on Longfellow Avenue. And I can remember, I don't think life has really changed that much in some ways. You need alliances in this life, don't you? 09:23 I don't care what business you're in, you need alliances. 09:26 It's true in the streets. It was true in the streets of the Bronx in the 40s and 50s. 09:32 And it's true in America today. It's true nationally and internationally. Alliances are everything. 09:39 So be very careful who your children choose as friends, because the friends will often influence your child more so than you will, incidentally. That's where the parent comes in. Anyway, I'm getting off the track here. 09:54 The world that we live in today is in some ways a more dangerous place than it's ever been in my lifetime. 10:03 When you see that a smirking con man could come here from Uganda and nakedly espouse communism under the disguise of democratic socialism, which I've taught you over and over and over again. 10:17 Even Mao Tse Tung wrote that there's no such thing as democratic socialism. 10:23 Don't get me started on Bernie Sanders. I only pray and wish that the clock could be turned back 80 some odd years and his mother would have committed an abortion in a tenement somewhere in Brooklyn. 10:33 then the world would have been spared the scourge that we're now facing. 10:37 He is the Pied Piper of communism. 10:42 I don't mean to get vulgar. 10:45 I have nothing but contempt for people like Bernie Sanders, who misled millions and millions of young people into thinking that he only wanted Scandinavian-style socialism. 10:56 He's been a naked, hardcore red his whole life. 11:00 It wouldn't be bad if communism had worked. 11:03 But when you look at the mountains of human skulls, where this scourge of communism has appeared, whether it be Cambodia under Pol Pot, or China under Mao Zedong, where 30 million of his own countrymen were killed, or what was done under communism in Russia, wherever its ugly head has reared, people have been imprisoned, enslaved, and died. 11:29 And that's what this smirking con man from Uganda will do to this nation. Oh, not himself, of course. He's not an evil guy. He's just a smiling con man. He's a construct of his mother's film industry. 11:43 And we have to be very cautious as to where this goes. 11:48 You say, well, don't you believe in the vote? Well, up to a point. 11:52 But if it comes down to survival... 11:54 We're going to need something other than the vote to save ourselves from this scourge that was unleashed on this nation by the ACLU. 12:04 All these years, these decades, the ACLU has been working diligently and around the clock to convert this nation into a dictatorship under the guise of fairness and to fight racism. You see, that's how they've done it. 12:20 And I've been fighting this good fight, I think, for quite a while. 12:25 I read all of the communists when I was a late teenager. 12:30 Marx, Engels, Trotsky, and the others. 12:35 Kerensky. Of course, in English translation, I don't read the original Russian. 12:40 And here we are. We're living through it all over again. 12:44 And all I can say is it's going to take more than God's will to save us. 12:49 Now, there are some differences between the Russia that was overturned in 1917 and America today. Many differences. 13:01 One is the people are not starving here. They're fat and happy. 13:06 We have an obesity epidemic, not a starvation epidemic. In Russia, when they were starving, they turned to the liars like Mamdami and Bernie Sanders who told them they'd really basically have food. 13:17 Luckily here, we're not starving. 13:20 We are obese rather than such. 13:24 Also, we are armed to the teeth. 13:28 And that's a big difference. 13:30 Second Amendment's a real big difference. 13:32 If you study the history of the Russian Revolution, or I carried a picture on my desk for years. I used to have a picture of what happened in Cambodia under that son of an evil man, Pol Pot. Remember, he was just a professor, Pol Pot. 13:48 A mild-mannered professor who went to Paris to study Marxism and came back and instituted a revolution. 13:56 And he unleashed the youth, the 13-year-olds and the 14-year-old animals in Cambodia on the middle class. 14:03 They were called the Khmer Rouge, the red scarves. Just like the wildlings that we have running around the streets in America today, they could easily be militarized by the smiling con man from Uganda and his fellow travelers. 14:17 So one of the first things that was done in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, I have a picture of it, I don't have it handy or I'll show it to you. 14:25 All of the guns that the people owned, they were all rifles, there were no handguns to any extent in Cambodia, had to be turned in by government decree. 14:33 And there's pictures of huge stacks of rifles being turned over by the people in Cambodia. 14:41 Never give up your guns, never. 14:45 If they come for your guns, they're going to come for you next. I warn you. 14:49 Let this be my last warning to you. Never give up your gun. 14:54 Never. It should be over your cold, dead hands before you turn it over to a nice, smiling, young person from the new government. 15:04 I don't have to add anything to that statement because you'll be next. 15:08 What happened after that in Cambodia is a model for what Mamdani and Occasional Cortex, the horse face from Westchester, would do in this country if they get power, total power. 15:20 First, the guns. 15:22 They've tried to take away your free speech. 15:24 That's a given. 15:26 They haven't succeeded at that yet. Look, I'm still talking about it. This won't go on if these evil ones should prevail. 15:35 now we can talk about what else will happen but i don't need to do that for you you can study it yourself there's many popular books written on the subject i like to carry the short versions the these little books these are good you can't even find them i've written about it in my i think my important book it's my last political book the savage republic i don't have it in front of me but these popular books which you can't find are very handy and they're like the short version explore the bloody bolshevik takeover that stunned the world the russian revolution which by the way copied the french revolution And if you study them, even in the short form, you'll see that the same thing is occurring in this nation under the so-called democratic socialists. 16:29 They are naked communists. 16:32 If they take away your guns, you'll be next. 16:35 And there are parallels to Trotsky and to Lenin, et cetera, in this country right now. 16:42 And this is not going to be a lecture about these individuals. 16:49 You need to study angles to study Marx. 16:53 And then you need to study Lenin and Trotsky. They all started out without threatening the population. 17:01 They told everyone they just wanted fairness and food and things of that nature. 17:06 It led to the deaths of millions, tens of millions of people. 17:10 A microcosm would be Cuba still in the hands of the gangster regime under Castro. 17:15 The Cuban people had it much better under the mafia than they did under Castro. 17:22 Ask the human people. They're much better under Batista and the American gangsters than they are under the Castro mafia. Ask the human people. There's no food. There's no medicine. Now the electrical grid went down. 17:38 And that's exactly what the smiling con man from Uganda who has never held a job in his life Nor has Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders has never produced a service or a product that anyone ever needed. Think about that. 17:52 Most of these career politicians, which goes, by the way, for the left and the right, by and large, have never produced a service or a product that anyone ever needed. 18:02 The only product or service that they've ever given is public and conning them into voting for them all the way up and down the line. 18:13 So be very, very cautious what you buy because you may not be able to sell it after you buy it. 18:21 Well, I think I've gone on longer than I intended to. I could do a long swan song here and show you all my books. I was going to do a show once showing you actually going back to my 30-book career and going back to the first book and all the way down to the last book. I don't want to do that today. I'm not in the mood. I would tell you that I think the long legacy of Michael Savage will be only a few statements and a few books. 18:48 Borders language culture will be one of my greatest contributions to the political sphere. 18:56 There's been no more succinct description of how to describe a nation, borders, language, and culture. 19:05 That is the way you define a nation. People never knew how to define a nation. I created that in 1994 when people said, okay, you created the Paul Revere Society. You had these great events over in the Marin Civic Center and other places. 19:18 But what does it stand for? I said, well, the Paul Revere Society stands for borders, language and culture. And that's how a nation is defined. 19:27 But as I've gotten older, I realized that legacy wise, although some of my books will live a long time, you know, this is a great catchy title. It's one that you're not going to ever forget. 19:39 Unfortunately, it's true. 19:41 Whenever you see these psychotics saying things or doing things that make no sense whatsoever, don't scratch your head. Just plug this into the formula. This will explain it. 19:54 But my lasting book is this one, God, Faith, and Reason, which was just reissued this year, which is really important because I'm a man who has searched for God his entire life. It's really what it comes down to. 20:11 I've asked so many questions. Where is God in a time of war? Whose side is he on? 20:16 Is there a need for religion? 20:19 If we're good people, why do we need to worship an invisible God? 20:23 Does the world need religion? These are some of the questions that I've asked since I've been a kid. 20:30 And I don't have an answer to the questions. 20:35 I've never seen God. 20:38 I've only seen a snapshot here and there. 20:42 I never saw God, nor do I pretend to have any special insights. 20:46 What you will see in this book are snapshots of God, not a complete film. 20:51 This book is presented in an omnibus style and does not have to be read in precise sequential order. 20:56 What you will see is one man's glimpse of God, glimpses of God, images along the road of life. 21:04 I do not represent myself as a theologian or a guru. 21:08 There are no cheap thrills here for the spiritually bankrupt masses. 21:12 It is my scrapbook of the highest power through dreams, memories, and stories, much like the ancient texts. 21:20 That's the preface. 21:23 Jeremiah said it another way. 21:26 Then said I, our Lord God, behold, I cannot speak for I am a child. But the Lord said unto me, say not, I am a child. 21:34 For to whomsoever I shall send thee, thou shalt go. And whatsoever I shall command thee, thou shalt speak. 21:43 That's from Jeremiah. I have chills up my spine as I read that because it does apply to every man. We're all children of God. 21:51 And if you tune into that power, that wonderful power, you will have a power you can never believe, a power to move mountains. 22:02 And no matter how far down you may be, you can lift yourself up from the dust. 22:09 All you got to do is reach out and beg God. But you can't just do it in a sterile, dispassionate way. God won't hear you. He doesn't care about people without passion. 22:20 He wants to hear it from your belly. He wants to hear you scream and beg him for his help. That's what I found in my life. 22:28 It's the scream of childbirth. It's the scream of death. 22:33 It's the scream of life itself waiting to unfold. So if you want to reach God, it can't be done intellectually. It has to be done from here and from here. 22:45 No other way. 22:48 Thank you for being with me all these years. I have nothing more to say at this time. When I do have something more to say, I will be back. 22:55 Again, this was basically an announcement that it is the goodbye to the Newsmax TV show on Sundays. 23:03 I have only a certain amount of energy left in my life, and I want to devote it to the spiritual rather than to the political, although I will from time to time come on these channels and do some political shows. I still do my cooking shows. For some reason, they're very popular. You know, something odd happened yesterday. I know I was saying goodbye. Here we go again. 23:26 I start to say goodbye, and I continue. So this is just the way I work. 23:34 I tweeted something yesterday that was simple. I mean, it was about Trump's jet from Qatar. 23:41 And it got over 450,000 hits. Something was odd about that one. I didn't understand why it had so much response. 23:52 And here it is here. Where was it? 23:56 Here it is. Air Force One, I wrote from Qatar. I warned at the outset security concern should have had POTUS reject this Trojan horse. Now Trump won't fly home from Turkey, was I right? As of now, it has 660,000 people who hit on that on X alone. It was so incredibly responsive. And I don't quite know why. I mean, I remember when he said in the beginning he was going to take a plane from the Arabs. I said, no, no, no, no, no. There's no way to debug that plane. Too many risks. 24:26 And yet here he was in Ankara, apparently smarter people than his surrounding staff of sycophants got to him and said, Mr. President, you cannot fly on this plane out of Ankara today. It's too dangerous. Now, why would that have happened in Turkey all of a sudden? 24:44 Well, for one, Erdogan is not a friend of America. Erdogan is the head of the Muslim Brotherhood. I mean, everyone who studied Turkey understands the history of Turkey. 24:54 And I didn't understand why he even went there. 24:58 Usually in a time of war, a president doesn't fly overseas. 25:02 If you remember the history of presidential meetings in times of war, they were never held in dangerous countries. 25:10 When Gorbachev had the meeting with Reagan, did they meet? 25:14 In Russia? Did they meet in America? No, they met in Iceland, I think. I don't know, something like that, where there was almost no threat or the threat level was very low. Why would the president listen to his advisors and fly to Turkey? What did he do that for? And then he said, wait a minute, he listened to what? The CIA finally got to him? You have thousands of miles of wiring in an airplane. 25:38 I'm not an engineer, but I have common sense. I also have... 25:42 Phenomenal logic. I learned logic and scientific method when I was a little child in the streets of Manhattan and the Bronx. My father taught me how to think. He would never answer a question. He would rarely answer a question, my father. He was not educated. He was an immigrant from Russia. 25:59 He had to learn the language to live here. And he never would answer a question directly. He would make me think. If I'd walk in the streets as a little boy and I'd ask him a question, he would say, Michael, let's think about it. He actually taught me like how to think. 26:14 The kids today don't even know how to think. They're sheeple. 26:19 So not as a trained engineer, I said, wait a minute. An airplane has thousands of miles of wiring and cable on it. How hard would it be to put a bug in a plane? 26:29 in those, any one of those wires. Think of the Israelis and the pages that were sent to Lebanon. It's a small little device. 26:40 You're telling me they couldn't have put a kill switch in this airplane? 26:44 Say, well, oh, come on, we debugged the plane. Really? You sure? 26:49 Every square centimeter of that plane was debugged? 26:52 It also did not have, again, from a civilian's point of view, it didn't have the defensive mechanisms that were commonly well known to be available on the old Air Force One, which poor President Trump had to fly home on. Poor man, he had to fly home on the old Air Force One. What a stress. 27:14 Poor thing didn't have gold toilet bowls, I guess. 27:18 But he didn't fly the Trojan horse, did he? 27:22 No. 27:24 So when I posted that yesterday, I thought it was an ordinary post on X, and people were, you know, Michael, you were always right. Why weren't you on the inside circle from day one is such a crime? Well, okay. 27:39 Then someone wrote, good grief, what would America do without old fools like you? And I wrote, and yet unknown schmucks like you are here. 27:48 Yeah, right. 27:50 Everyone could see it with a common sense. But then there were some engineers who answered that tweet. 27:59 And they were really smart. I can't find it immediately. I didn't plan on talking about. 28:05 But then you have the morons, the true believers for whom Trump could do no wrong. They think he's God and he thinks beyond anyone on the planet. You have idiots writing things like the plane was almost certainly stripped of the frame and rebuilt. 28:19 You people are reading way too much into this. 28:22 Okay. Unbelievable to me. People are such fools. They can't think. 28:29 They just can't think. But apparently hundreds of thousands of people responded to my tweet yesterday. 28:39 And I can't find the best one. 28:42 Michael Savage, you're a legend to us Gen Xers who are old enough to have grown up with you, but young enough to call you a boomer. 28:48 I agree with you so much that you say, but they don't like Israel anyway. Okay, good for you. 28:55 I'm not going to get dragged into that discussion right now. I'll do it another time. I'll just say in one phrase, the Jews have a right to live, period. And no matter what you think in your living room, they're not going away so fast. 29:10 So we have, where's the engineer who wrote this one yesterday? I really am trying to find it. 29:16 This new plane didn't have the countermeasures that the old Air Force One does. Everybody knows that. No one knows what they are, but we know that the old Air Force One had countermeasures, chaff and things of that nature that we all knew about. 29:30 So people sometimes will take things lock, stock, and barrel and just, you know, suck it up. 29:38 I don't know why people put up pictures of their family here, whatever. 29:44 I wish I could find it, sorry. I can't find it. There was an engineer who wrote, he was an aeronautical and aerospace engineer. 29:51 I can't find it. 29:53 So Trump came back on the old Air Force One, right? 29:57 Just the Air Force One, thankfully he's safe. 30:01 How did he come back? Did he fly to pick up the old Air Force one or did he fly all the way home? I wouldn't accept that plane. 30:11 I don't know what's on it. We know there were no countermeasures, but there was more to the story than that. 30:18 And I want to thank you for seeing the story and commenting on it. I only ask you if your comment... 30:24 on any of my social media, could you stop being insulting because you're just gonna be deleted forever? 30:31 If you wanna reason with me, go ahead, tell me I'm wrong and explain why, that's good. But if you wanna get insulting, we're just gonna, I have a staff that goes through such insults and we eliminate you forever. If you wanna have the privilege of communicating with me and my followers, try to think before you post anything. 30:50 I can't find the aeronautical engineers statement on it. You have to search it on X. Please go on to at a savage nation. 31:03 And I can't find it. 31:05 I just can't find what people, some of the people wrote that you have to search for the smart ones. 31:11 You know? 31:16 But most people understood that this plane was too dangerous to fly. 31:22 Stripped and rebuilt down to the bolts. 31:25 Oh, really? You sure of that? Then why didn't he fly it from Ankara to pick up the other plane? You bought the cover story? Did he want the troops to review the new one? Are you crazy? Suddenly you trust the government? 31:45 Okay, I can't find the aeronautical engineer. I'm not going to search through 400,000 tweets. 31:51 You'll have to do it yourself. 31:56 You are right, Michael. It was crazy to accept this plane. You can't guarantee it's free of hidden electronics. The Qataris have plenty of time to embed things in the structure of the plane that even the FBI or CIA can't find. This has happened before. And someone put up a link. Okay, so there's one of those. 32:11 But, you know, the big issue was not so much the plane. 32:14 The president, in a time of war, flies into a hostile nation and then says, wait a minute, maybe it's dangerous to fly out of here on a plane that doesn't have countermeasures. 32:25 Why did he even go there? 32:28 It made no sense to me for him to go to Ankara. It didn't make sense to begin with. But then again, I'm not the president. I'm just an observer from the outside. How many times do I have to tell you that in the past, during times of war, presidents never flew into danger zones? Never. 32:43 Look at World War II. Look at the Korean War. Look at the Cold War. 32:47 If we had meetings with hostiles, they were in neutral places. The presidents met in neutral nations like Iceland. 32:56 They didn't fly into a hostage. It's unbelievable to me. The staff probably didn't advise properly. And then someone got to him and said, you can't, it's too dangerous to fly out of Turkey right now. 33:08 Okay, fine. So, you know, you have to add things up. 33:15 Okay. 33:18 I believed all along and had security concerns. 33:22 These people are not our friends. We should not be accepting gifts from them. 33:27 Okay. 33:31 And he couldn't order a nuclear strike. There's no nuclear strikes here. You're wrong, Mike. That plane was gone over with a fine-tooth comb. 33:41 Can I sell you a watch? Savage. Home of borders. Language. Culture. The Savage Nation. 33:50 Okay, folks. I can't go through all of this. 33:53 I don't believe how gullible people are. 33:57 I just don't understand it. The president himself finally agreed not to take the plane out of Ankara and you're still putting things up that it was safe. How dumb can you be? How do you not put two and two together and use your common sense? Well, anyway, the point is, Today is a goodbye day. I'm going back to the tweet that got over 661,000 responses, which was astounding. Apparently, a lot of people agreed with me, more agreed with me that he shouldn't have flown on. 34:28 He shouldn't have accepted the plane to begin with. I thought it was garish. 34:33 I thought it was insulting to America to accept such a gift. 34:38 A royal plane like this made for a sultan, not a president. I thought that it's unto itself was rather embarrassing. 34:46 Even at the beginning, I said it. I didn't think I made any friends. I mean, the fact is that the president doesn't like to be criticized. Everybody knows that. I'm not making any friends by saying this, but everybody knows that. And he generally doesn't take criticism kindly. So I'm closing out by saying what I said at the beginning. 35:07 Goodbye to the Newsmax TV show. Goodbye, by and large, to everything except spiritual matters. 35:14 God, faith, and reason will be probably, aside from my herbal books and my recent, you should see my Alzheimer's book. I don't have the patience to talk about it right now. 35:27 Maybe I should read you one piece from God, faith, and reason, an eye for an eye. 35:33 It's only one page long. 35:37 Hmm. 35:38 I don't even know what I wrote. I'm going to read an eye for an eye. 35:41 Exodus contains all sorts of rules about an eye for an eye, which are self-explanatory. 35:47 We do not live in an eye for an eye world, and many of us feel that the justice system is flawed because punishments don't fit the crimes. 35:56 It seems to most of us that the true criminals are not punished sufficiently. 36:00 Still current, it's pretty good. 36:02 I wrote this a couple of years ago, many years ago, actually. 36:07 It seems to most of us that the true criminals are not punished sufficiently. 36:12 For example, Exodus 21, 26 says, quote, if a man smite the eye of his bondman or the eye of his bondwoman and destroy it, he shall let him go free for his eye's sake. And if he smite out his bondman's tooth or his bondsman's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake. What does that mean? I wrote. It means an eye for an eye, more or less. It says to give them freedom to compensate for injury. Is that an eye for an eye? Earlier. 36:38 In 2122, it says, if men are working together and hurt a pregnant woman, they must pay a fine. But if they accidentally kill the baby, it says, if any harm follow them, follow, then thou shalt give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burning for burning, wound for wound, strike for strike, unquote. 37:05 Do we want to live in such a world? No, we don't. 37:08 Do we want to live in Saudi Arabia, where they cut their hands off thieves? Some of us would say yes, I would say no. 37:17 On the other hand, when we live in a world that is ruled by liberal judges, where the courts are run by liberal lawyers, where there does not seem to be much punishment for some crimes, we're all asking ourselves, how can we make the pendulum swing to a more equitable justice system? That's my interpretation of Exodus and where we are today. 37:40 And that is in God, faith, and reason. 37:44 Yesterday I went into a drugstore after I visited a doctor for a hand problem I have right now, a hand surgeon. 37:51 And I couldn't believe how many items were locked up in this Walgreens I went into. 37:58 That's because in California under Governor Newsom, These subhumans can walk in and steal as much as they want to walk out, and the guards can't even stop them. You want to live in a country like that? 38:10 Is that your idea of a sane nation? That a filthy street derelict, a subhuman garbage that belongs in a mental institution can walk into a pharmacy and steal anything he wants? 38:23 Or a fat obese piece of can steal stuff out of a Safeway in a cart and take it all home and put it in her car? That's the world you want to live in? That's your idea of justice? No, that's not justice. That's a society that's dying. 38:37 And California is leading the way. See, I didn't want to get political, but the old fire is still burning within. Well, if I'm going to do spiritual, it doesn't mean I'm going to do it mildly. I'm not going to be an Episcopalian minister in Hartford, Connecticut. 38:52 I'm going to be like an old fire and brimstone preacher. I mean, you say, I said, I'm going to go back to the Healing Wheel Society, thehealingwheel.org. 39:00 Maybe I'm going to put all my fire into that. 39:03 How many times have you gone into a church and walked out feeling more limp than you went in? Didn't you want the preacher to be screaming up there and pounding the pulpit? 39:13 Well, that's why I left synagogues years ago. The rabbis have become nothing. 39:19 Little schmendricks that came out of rabbinical school. 39:23 You know, bagels and lox Jew. I didn't want that. I hated it. To me, that's not what religion is. Religion was the Old Testament. Religion was fiery preachers, fiery rabbis, though that's what you went into a temple or a church for, right? 39:39 Well, maybe that's what I need to start doing on the Healing Wheel site is do some fiery healingwheel.org. I got to do some fiery sermons. Maybe that'll be some fun for me. 39:53 So again, again, I am saying goodbye right now. Michael says goodbye, not to everything. 39:59 It's goodbye to the Newsmax TV show on Sundays. 40:03 I will still be as a contributor on shows here and there. They've asked me to stay on, but I don't have unlimited energy. And those small, remember, I started as a one hour show on Newsmax TV in the beginning. It was frankly too much for me. 40:19 And I said to the management about six months in, I can only do a half an hour show. They said, okay. I mean, I could do two hours of a show, but I wanted to do a good, great half hour show. And that's when I reduced my show to a half an hour. And now I've decided I don't even want to do the half hour show. 40:35 It's enough. There comes a time to say goodbye. 40:40 But, you know, as I said, one door closes and another door opens. I have an opportunity now to do some other things that I guess I could mention them now. What the heck? I am saying goodbye to the TV show. I still have all this energy. I have the energy of a 30 or 40 year old. You know that people have listened to me said your voice hasn't changed. That's very interesting. If you listen to the tapes that we have, it's the same savage voice. 41:04 So. 41:07 I did a small scene or two with John Voight in a movie. I wish it was out already called The Last Firefighter. My good friend Stephen did it. 41:17 And Stephen Paul, great director. He's done a lot of movies. 41:22 And he's also John's agent. 41:25 They love me. I mean, they're friends of mine. I don't see them much. But you know what? You could have a friend you don't see much. They love me. You know, when you're with people, you can feel it in here. 41:34 So I was in this scene with John on the pier. 41:38 We filmed it on the Manhattan Street Pier. I had never done acting before. I had a lot of trouble remembering my lines because I can't remember lines. 41:48 What I've done my whole life is extemporaneous radio. 41:53 Even these shows, they're extemporaneous by and large. And to read lines, I was stumbling on them. I couldn't do them. 42:00 I played Ezra, the Jewish fisherman. 42:03 It's a good, I wish I could find it. I don't want to read it to you now. So I flew down to L.A. and I went out onto the Manhattan Street Pier and I had such a good time doing it. 42:13 And the crew was so nice to me. They said, don't worry about it. And they had to hold up the lines for me behind the other actor because I couldn't, I was flubbing lines even if it was small. I just kept stumbling on them. And they said to me, don't worry about it. Even Brando, I said, come on, no, we're not comparing. They said Brando couldn't remember any of his lines. They had to hold them for him over the other actors. 42:36 They had cranes and stuff in any one of his scenes. 42:40 So I said, okay, they were so nice to me. Then they gave me an earbud. It even made it even worse when they would read the line in my ear. I couldn't do it. 42:47 But I had a lot of fun doing it. I love eating with the young actors. 42:52 was part of a crew and a team so i said to steven who's filming right now in rome i said hey steven put me in coach i have a lot of energy i said i want to play in some new movies he said i can't tell you what he told me but they're doing a new series for a major operator and he's he's got a part for me in it and so i think i'm going to be doing some television and some uh i mean not some television some movies in small ways at this stage. You know, life begins at 80. Who says you have to give up? 43:25 Life begins at 80. There used to be a TV show in the 50s called Life Begins at 80. People still respected the elderly people. It was so cute. You'd see all these old people come out on the couch, and some of them were so funny and so smart. The show was super popular. They should reintroduce that show, especially with all of the smart people in their 70s and 80s living in America today. 43:47 You know, maybe people would enjoy it. But anyway, we'll see what kind of roles come up. 43:51 If any, I got to get something. Please, it's right here. I keep it right here because I enjoyed it so much. 43:58 I think I will end with the Ezra piece. 44:03 Oh, God, it's the wrong file. I pulled my IRA Schwab account. 44:08 I thought I was pulling a file with my movie show. 44:12 I don't know where it went. Here it is. Sorry. 44:15 Okay, Ezra the Jewel. 44:16 Here's the piece. I keep it in another file. I have old manila files. I'm from the old days. So see, I can find things. I don't like pulling everything up. So here was the script that I had to memorize. It wasn't a long thing. I'm making not a big deal out. I'm just showing you what's involved. Being an actor is not easy. 44:35 It's hard. 44:37 And it's hard for those of us who don't read scripts. Maybe it's easy for people to only read scripts like Robert De Niro. 44:44 I would think it's easy for him to be an actor since the guy is a complete empty head. 44:49 And he's only read scripts. So now he reads a script hating Trump. 44:53 So Manhattan Beach Pier, John and his friend, John has his fishing gear set up on the side of the pier. He casts his line out into the water, checks the line, and has a seat on a large plastic bucket. He looks over to another fisherman a couple of spots away up. The pier is wearing a yarmulke, and John says, how are they biting this morning, Ezra? 45:13 Fisherman Ezra says, I'm afraid the bugs are biting more than the fish. 45:18 But you never know. Yeshua Hashem says, You know what that means? John says, what, I'm going to catch a big one tonight? 45:28 Ezra smiles. Fisherman Ezra says, almost. 45:31 It means the salvation of God is like the blink of an eye. God can change one's luck in an instant. It's good to have hope. 45:39 So John says, well, I'm hoping for a nice fish dinner. Tell me, Ezra, do you believe there's a destiny? 45:45 Fisherman Ezra says, of course, things are besheret. 45:48 meant to be. 45:49 Only God can change one's destiny. 45:52 So John says, so things are pretty much set in stone, huh? 45:56 Fisherman Ezra says, not if God is on your side. 46:00 And he is. 46:02 Good mazel, John. 46:04 John checks his line and then glances back over to Ezra, who's singing a Jewish prayer under his breath. 46:11 John looks up to the sky and then settles until Bianca walks up to him. 46:16 And then I sing a chant. 46:19 Shalom Aleichem, Malachi HaSholom, Malachi Elyon, Sa'ud. 46:29 Well, thank you very much for listening to today's podcast.
