Savage discusses a shocking event that shaped Donald Trump's stance of crime when his elderly mother was mugged in Queens, New York in 1991. Savage explores how this event significantly contributed to Trump's views on criminal justice. He then weaves in personal anecdotes, including memories of his own mother, reflections on the second half of the 20th century, and experiences from his childhood and his radio career. Savage shares his famous "I've Seen" poem that reflects on the pivotal moments in history and societal changes he has witnessed in his lifetime. He offers insights on health, nutrition, and the importance of maintaining a robust life force. He concludes with a message on healing and the need to tap into the universal energy for well-being.
