And now the world's most exciting podcast, The Savage Nation, home of borders, language,

culture, and here he is, New York Times best-selling author and national radio-holophame inductee

Michael Savage. Good morning ladies and gentlemen of The Savage Nation. I have no desire

not even dawn. I know it's going to be a rotten day before I turn the news on. I had a terrible

night. I know that you want the old Michael back, the old radio Michael. Well, there is

I want to thank you for that. I know you want the spontaneity, the jokes, the absurdities,

the sarcasm. Okay, I got it. It's a different medium and I had a bad night. And I will look

at the news and go through it with you today. I had Teddy with me yesterday. Teddy 16 years

old. It was probably one of the most depressing days of my life. He's now 100 percent blind,

home and you have an attendant. I can't be a 24, 7 attendant for a dog. I have my own problems.
