Summary
Savage recounts meeting Senator Lindsey Graham during Trump's first term. He recalls appreciating Graham's frank, humble personality, but detesting his warmongering policies. He argues Graham's death at 71 was a heart attack or travel-related clot, rejecting claims Russia, Iran, or others killed him. He then shifts to commentary on immigration-related sexual crimes in Germany, cultural decline in Europe and Ireland. He covers Conor McGregor's comeback loss and injury, while discussing aging, mortality, and health. He discusses his final Newsmax TV episode after 72 shows and his plans moving forward. He will be focusing his energy on his Healing Wheel Society (healingwheel.org)
