THE SAVAGE NATION

Savage speaks with Shannon Davis, CEO of American Alternative Assets, about retirement savings trapped inside a collapsing debt system. They discuss why gold and silver remain outside the printing presses, the pressure from America's $39 trillion debt, and how rising bond rates hit regular families through mortgages, credit cards, car loans, and inflation. Davis explains why retirement accounts may not be truly diversified if everything is still tied to the dollar, and Savage warns about runaway spending, currency revaluation, and the dangers of trusting banks with your financial future.

Savage argues that the unrest outside ICE facilities should not be treated as legitimate protest, but as riots and insurrection. He traces American protest movements from the Boston Tea Party to civil rights, Vietnam, Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, and modern anti-Trump demonstrations, contrasting lawful dissent with what he sees as organized intimidation and political agitation. Savage calls for the arrest and deportation of non-citizens involved, warns that birthright citizenship and activist legal groups are weakening the country, and frames the moment as a test of whether America will remain a nation of laws.

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

But sources claimed that Gabbard was forced to resign as the intel chief. Gabbard's non-interventionist foreign policy views frequently clashed with President Trump's military strikes on Iran. Gabbard, a veteran and current Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve, spoke with Savage about her political evolution from Democrat to Republican.

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.
