Michael Savage interviews retired Army Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis about China, Taiwan, Iran, and his book The New AI Cold War: Liberty vs. Tyranny in the Age of Machine Empires. McGinnis says the Trump–Xi summit produced pomp but few substantive outcomes, possibly favoring Xi. He argues AI was central given the executives traveling with Trump. They discuss Taiwan as strategically vital due to geography, allied credibility, and semiconductor dominance, and unpack Xi's "Thucydides trap" warning. Turning to Iran, Maginnis frames a "fork" between tolerating Tehran's nuclear progress or seizing and dismantling dispersed facilities, a difficult ground operation with uncertain intelligence. The conversation closes on AI's sweeping military and societal impact, China's open model strategy, and potential theological implications.

Savage speculates that President Trump may have discussed a sphere-of-influence understanding with China: U.S. freedom of action in Cuba in exchange for Chinese leeway over Taiwan. He argues Cuba has been devastated by decades of military-backed communist dictatorship, leaving people desperate for medicine and food, and warns the U.S. must avoid an economic collapse that could trigger another Mariel-style migrant crisis. He suggests the U.S. appears to be moving toward a Venezuela-style playbook of removing Cuba's leadership, then working with friendlier leaders to rebuild the economy, revive tourism, and spark massive investment. He contrasts this with the Taiwan risk, mentions rumors of moving Taiwan's chip industry to Arizona, and concludes Americans mainly care about pocketbook issues—gas, bread, and inflation.

Savage explains how the U.S. feels like a replay of the Roaring '20s—corruption, excess, and a looming crash—citing national debt surpassing GDP and high gas prices in California. He compares HBO's "Boardwalk Empire" to today's "gangster capitalism" and then shares how Napoleon III serves as a cautionary tale about prosperity undone by war costs. Savage says he's alarmed by pressure on President Trump from pro-war talkers and the military-industrial complex to escalate the war in Iran, warning this could draw in Russia and China. He then reads from Mao's "Little Red Book" where Mao calls "democratic socialism" a road to communism. He concludes by condemning Bernie Sanders and the Communist Party while calling for divine help for America.

Savage weighs who is winning the Iran-US war "chess game." He explains how Iran aims to hurt Trump electorally while losing about $450 million a day in oil revenue, turning the standoff into mutual damage and a test of how far Tehran can push without being bombed. He reveals that the wars in Iran and Ukraine have drained U.S. munitions. He then warns that the Iran conflict could cost Republicans the House, Senate, and presidency, ushering in far-left leadership. Savage says Trump is being pushed by advisers and foreign allies to act too soon; he urges Trump to "declare victory," negotiate quietly through the midterms, and strike harder only later if necessary, comparing Iran's fanaticism to wartime Japan.

Savage cheers a Texas father who fatally shot a carjacker threatening his family and says he deserves a Medal of Freedom, not charges. He eulogizes CNN founder Ted Turner, praising Trump's graceful response despite their political differences. He rips into the wellness industry's expensive longevity gadgets and cryotherapy fads, calling them moronic compared to basic nutrition. He closes by reading from his newly republished book "Reducing the Risk of Alzheimer's."

Savage dives into the forgotten science of orthomolecular medicine and its power to treat mental illness through nutrition. He pays tribute to unsung genius Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D., who gave his discoveries to humanity for free. He gets personal, revealing how zinc recently cured his recurring prostatitis and restored his lost sense of taste. He reads from his newly republished book "Reducing the Risk of Alzheimer's," covering selenium dangers, aluminum's role in brain destruction, and Dr. Cathcart's bowel tolerance theory for vitamin C.

Savage blasts Bernie Sanders for his subversive meeting with Chinese AI researchers. He calls to revive the House Un-American Activities Committee and target Sanders. He raps on the news of the day and mocks the royal tour by King Charles. He then discusses the Iran war threat, oil prices, and fears of possible escalation. He shares a story about a conversation about a privateschool teacher ranting about Trump instead of teaching students.

Savage delivers a "stream of consciousness" talk, saying he turns from suffocating political "hysterical realism" to literature, music, and free association. He compares the poetic style of Isaiah to the technique he brought to radio in 1994, criticizing today's one-dimensional political commentators. He then praises Trump's "borders, language, culture" message and calls for stronger force to clean up cities. He shares about his movie cameo with Jon Voight, and ends on a faith-themed line: God can change fate "in the blink of an eye."

Savage quotes "sic semper tyrannis," linking John Wilkes Booth's justification for killing Lincoln to a recent attempted assassination of President Trump. He explains how psychopaths like the would-be assassin rationalize violence. He blasts liberals and media figures that radicalize unstable people with constant propaganda. He then points to security failures that enabled the dinner attack. He warns that Democrats will become more violent. In stream-of-consciousness commentary, he veers into Iran's nuclear threat, Ukraine-Russia casualties, FISA surveillance.

Savage discusses Trump's DOJ indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center on 11 counts — alleging it funneled over $3 million in donor funds to white supremacist and extremist groups to help stage hate crimes. The DOJ claims the group used shell companies to conceal the activity. He stresses what an important development this is. He then suggests the Trump Administration investigate the ACLU and its alleged subversive activities. An emotional childhood memory that should serve as a warning for us all concludes the show.

Savage declares the conservative movement effectively dead, arguing that core principles like fiscal restraint, limited foreign entanglements, and cultural cohesion have been abandoned by both parties. He criticizes ongoing foreign conflicts, rising government spending, and what he sees as a broader shift toward socialism influenced by Barack Obama, while revisiting his book "Government Zero" and outlining his "40 points to save America," including his immigration policies, economic reforms, and a restructuring of government priorities. He also warns of cultural and political decline in the U.S. and Europe, argues that radical Islam remains a central threat, and closes by urging listeners to develop their own plans to restore the nation while maintaining a cautious sense of hope.

Socrates Savage opens by invoking the street-philosopher Socrates of Ancient Athens. He then exposes Religion Incorporated, including Catholic Charities, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, and Lutheran Family Services for corruption. He praises President Trump for cutting funds. He rails against the nation sliding into chaos—culturally, politically, and morally. He blasts media "degeneracy," taking aim at the HBO show "Euphoria." Trump, NATO, Canada, California, and rising crime. He lightens the mood with a show recommendation—"Diary of a Ditched Girl." Call (855) GOLD-099 or go to GetSavageGold.com right now.

Savage argues that blaming Israel for global conflict is false and dangerous, criticizing pundits for attacking Jews and Israel while claiming to defend America and Christians. He contends that even if Israel disappeared, radical Islamist groups would still persecute and kill Christians, citing violence and repression of Christians in Nigeria, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Eritrea, Sudan, Libya, Yemen, and Somalia, and North Korea. He also says many people are desensitized and wouldn't care if Israel vanished, but insists Israel and Jews are not going anywhere and that labeling Donald Trump a "stooge" of Israel is ludicrous. He closes by calling for protection of all faiths from radical belief and for America. He then warns that Islamo-Communism has come to America. He discusses the rise of the Red-Green alliance and its influence on the future of America.

This high-stakes interview brings Alex Jones and Michael Savage together as they warn that rising tensions between Iran, Israel, and the U.S. could spiral into a global catastrophe. They caution that a strike on Tehran might trigger nuclear conflict and draw in Russia and China, putting America at risk. Savage offers a historical perspective, warning that ideological extremism can't be easily deterred. As ceasefires falter and oil fears rise, the discussion underscores a world edging dangerously close to the brink.

Michael Savage reacts to Supreme Court arguments on birthright citizenship. He argues that the debate is dominated by legal "tricksters" and should be decided by a national referendum rather than lawyers. He explains that modern conditions make the Constitution outdated on this issue and claims people travel late in pregnancy to have a child in the U.S. to gain citizenship. He blames the ACLU for enabling illegal immigration, overturning voter outcomes, and protecting groups that abuse welfare and public services nationwide. He urges Trump to pursue the ACLU under RICO statutes. He then discusses immigration as Donald Trump's top issue, urging "deport, deport, deport."

Savage says "war fever" is gripping U.S. leaders and warns the public has not been sold on attacks on Iran, fearing ground troops, body bags, and "Vietnam all over again." He warns that we now face a widening conflict that could become a world war. He urges Trump to "declare victory and end this" before it escalates. He then shares a powerful spiritual message as the Passover and Easter holidays converge.

Savage explores a central question: how do we find God in a material world? Drawing from his book "God, Faith, and Reason," he reflects on faith, belief, and the idea that the search itself is the answer, weaving in scripture, philosophy, and personal encounters. He then connects these themes to war, morality, and human suffering, before sharing powerful stories—including a conversation with a former gangster—illustrating how faith can transform even the hardest lives.

Savage explores a central question: will America choose dictatorship or liberty? He examines the tension between freedom and authority, referencing his books "Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder" and "Trickle Down Tyranny" to frame the current moment. Savage then steps away from politics to share some of his most memorable childhood stories from "A Savage Life," offering a warm, personal reflection on the experiences that shaped his worldview.
