So this week was a very active week and I'm going to talk mainly about the main topic, of course, is the Is Trump moving too fast? And many of you have commented on this. You'll see what you say. Canada, Greenland, Panama, Gaza, Ukraine, firing the Joint Chiefs of Staff, thousands of federal workers fired. He's overwhelming not only our enemies, but also many of his own allies can't keep up with him. Now, I know that blitzkrieg is a tactic and I've said this before, if you watch boxing, which I've done since I'm a child, I'm not a fighter, but I'm an observer of martial arts and fighting. Since I'm a child, I noticed that there are fighters who will come out in the first round and knock out the opponent. Muhammad Ali was like that, right? Remember him? He was one of those. So was the Great One. I mean, the great, great boxers are like that. They'll usually overwhelm the opponent in the first round, hit him from every different angle until they're over. They don't know where the punch is going to come from next. That's what Trump has been doing. So it's working up to a point. But he's also overwhelming some of his followers who are also saying, well, all that's well and good, but prices haven't come down. Eggs are expensive. Well, that's another question for another time. So is Trump moving too fast? I would say he's fighting the leftist insurgency, which has been in place a very long time, and it's pretty much embedded in the society right now. And when you're at war, there's only one way to fight, which is to win. It's that simple. Let's begin by talking about the most replied to tweet of the week, which is, is Trump moving too fast? So again, I want to start by reading from my most recent book. Yes, I've written many books and I'm proud of them. Why do I have to hide that? I've written 29 books. People say all he does is talk about his books. You know, after you've written 29 books, you read from your own books because they're good. They took a lot of thought. So I wrote a piece in a savage Republic entitled the Leftist Insurgency, which I want to, I want to share with you. Okay, the leftist insurgency, which is why Trump is hitting so hard so fast, by the way. This is the nature of the civil war in which we find ourselves. We're not going to see massive armies of Americans marching toward each other. It's a war of ideas. Americans are roughly split into three political groups. Conservative, libertarian, and so called progressives. And it is this last group that has declared war against the other two. What is a libertarian? What is a liberal? What's a conservative? When liberals, or when libertarians rather drive a truck into a protest. When libertarians drive a truck in a protest, it's a peaceful protest. They want government off their backs. No vaccine mandates. That's the issue today. Now we contrast that with a modern liberal or progressive today driving a truck. The liberal says, not only will I protest when I'm going to protest, but I'm going to crash my truck into a department store and steal the jewelry and clothing. That's what the pickup bet is for. This is what liberalism has become because it's been taken over by anarchists, radical progressives and Black Lives Matter types. There are no classical liberals anymore, as far as I can tell. They've all become activists and rather violent and coercive. So let's look at the origins of this liberal or leftist insurgency without getting into a whole lecture on it. Okay, what's it all about? Ronald Reagan explained it best. It's very simple. Less government, get out of my pocket, get off my back, and let me have more control over my own destiny. This really makes sense. This is what libertarianism is basically. Classical liberalism was Very simple. It was a breakaway from powerful governments backed by state, churches and monarchies, and it focused on freedom of the individual. That was the original liberalism. But look at what it's become today, folks. Look at it. So called progressivism. It's become violent and coercive. You've got entertainers who used to be libertarians. Many have become coercive saying that people who don't take vaccines, remember that, should be turned away from hospitals and sent home to die. I remember when that was said by many jerks in the entertainment world. How do people transform into these characters who are the opposite of what they began as? Now, that leaves conservatives. What is it to be a conservative? It's a big word. Many of us who are on the right are really a mixture of libertarian and conservative. We want limited government, but we don't believe in anarchy. This is where libertarianism gets lost. When people start saying no government, no government, that's totally crazy. We have lost the liberals because they no longer even think of themselves as progressives. They've moved to radical socialism, haven't they? And for them, it is their ideology to the exclusion of anyone else's ideology. You must accept what they believe or you're deplorable or un American. And that is how they have forced their agenda down our throats, which is why Trump is fighting the way he's fighting. They've emerged from rebelling against churches and monarchies and overtly powerful governments to becoming an overly powerful coercive force unto themselves. And where this gets and where it goes is very dangerous. Progressivism is leading to National Socialism. Need I remind you, or anyone else listening to me what National Socialism is? Think of Germany in the 1930s, National Socialism was Nazism. That's what Hitler introduced into Germany, National Socialism. And we're not too far away from that here in America today. When you listen to occasional cortex, she sounds like a National Socialist. Pelosi in her heyday is a fascist or a National Socialist. The Nazis made you salute and praise the Fuhrer. The Democrats make you say the pronouns. Democrats conducted show trials for the supposed January 6th insurrectionists and constructed an American Gestapo to hunt down more. These are very dangerous times, and we had a Stalinist in Biden who I will get to at another time. So Trump, to fight this liberal or leftist insurgency is moving very, very fast. And again, he's overwhelming our enemies by doing so, which is a tactic. But I think many of you who follow him are overwhelmed as well. So what is it that many of you have said about this When I asked on Twitter, is Trump moving too fast? Are there too many changes too quickly? Some of the followers said things such as this. Steve said the level of executive power being harnessed is concerning. He says regardless of political affiliation, he's creating precedence. This is a good one. That precedence can be utilized to the same degree when the other side of the aisle gets in. That's what we have to be watching out for. Richard says. There are some, there are some agencies that didn't need gutting like the national parks, and it is a conflict of interest for Musk to eliminate the agency that is investigating Tesla. It is starting to look like it's personal rather than professional, Justin says. I didn't vote for him, but I have to say it's been nice to see something actually being done. I may not agree with all of it, but that's how it goes. The real question is how much of it sticks when he's gone. Another one on X says in the long run, no. There are short term risks to the economy and markets due to such swift action and uncertainty. Saving the country is imperative and worth the risks. Four years isn't really much time. Michael says he has only 1.5 years to get things done. Once the next election occurs, it could be a very different picture. Marco says intuition says he's not wasting time. I think he learned from his first term, but if he really wants revenge and I think this is what it is, it's a dish you should serve cold and slow. Best wishes, Mr. President Michael Savage A host like no other.

Now, here's another one that I'd like to read from Jeremy. He says, Dr. Savage, after Trump lost in 2020, I found myself hoping he didn't run again. He failed in his first term by getting bogged down in the swamp and getting whooped by the left. I hated when the President got caught up in Twitter fights with peon nobodies while the Democrats hit him. Phony impeachments hit him with phony impeachments. And finally, we must remember the COVID lockdowns happened under his watch. Then we had the worst four years under Biden and the extreme lawfare against Trump. This would have ruined any man, but it emboldened Mr. Trump. I've never seen someone fight so hard in my life. Soon I realized that if the left could do this to him, they could easily do this to me and everyone else. Trump was fighting for all Americans. Today we now have the greatest American president ever. It's been one month, and every day we wake up to constant headlines of what the Doge is finding and what the President is doing to combat this corruption. He is fulfilling his campaign pledges. Have you ever seen that in American history? He shook up the establishment and he's moving at lightning speed, and I wish he moved even faster. His administration is moving so fast with so many results, the average person cannot keep up. Even better, the corrupt cannot keep up. Trump has destroyed the Democrat Party in one month. The pace must be maintained. The President cannot allow the enemies of freedom any chance to counterattack. No mercy. Push the line every day, wipe them out. That's from Jeremy. I think many of you would actually. I think that many of you would actually. I got tongue tied thinking about it. Would actually agree with that. So I think we have covered in some detail. The question is Trump moving too fast? And I've shown you how he is fighting the leftist insurgency from my book, A Savage Republic. I want to talk now about another topic in the same book which relates directly to this question, which is on page 12 where I talk about the new kulaks. It's not been recognized well enough for what Biden and his minions have done to those of us who opposed his radical leftist policies, to put it mildly. So let me talk for a moment about the new kulaks. Okay. In Soviet Russia, the Bolshevik revolution started with a hatred towards farmers. What we're seeing here is a hatred against white people stirred by the President, meaning Biden himself. This is an insurgency of sustained and distributed conflict, with violence being carried out by the far Left. Consider how the CIA defines insurgency in its guide to the analysis of insurgency. This is from the CIA's own manual. A conflict in the pre insurgency stage is difficult to detect because most activities are underground and the insurgency has yet to make its presence felt through the use of violence. Moreover, actions conducted in the open can easily be dismissed as nonviolent political activity. During this stage, an insurgent movement is beginning to organize, leadership is emerging and the insurgents are establishing a grievance and a group identity, beginning to recruit and train members and stockpiling arms and supplies. That is terrifying. It's from the CIA manual in its guide to the analysis of insurgency. Think about Black Lives Matter arming itself. Think of Antifa arming itself. Think of all the leftist groups which have become paramilitary groups. Now you understand what we're facing here. When I talk about the revolution that Trump is fighting against, this is exactly where we are. But this has happened in other places in the world as well. Many civil wars in the world did not and do not have soldiers marching on the battlefield. Let me emphasize many civil wars in the world did not and do not have soldiers marching on the battlefield. Did you know that in the early stage of the Syrian civil war it was fought by paramilitary groups fighting in neighborhoods? It was the same for 30 years in Ireland. Group of insurgents policed the streets. They disappeared people from their homes, they kidnapped and removed them, they assassinated political enemies and bombed buildings. I don't know that we've seen much of that in this country under Biden, but he certainly locked up thousands of people for no crimes, calling them, trying to take over the government. Remember the innocent J6 people are only in the plaza observers. They were locking them up within a month of Trump's inauguration. Now there was the so called Colombian conflict, which was really a civil war. It was an asymmetrical conflict that lasted almost 60 years with guerrilla groups fighting each other and the government, most famously the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, the People's army called farc. FARC and FARCE ep. You may have seen them in narco shows. There were also right wing groups that colluded with the police and assassinated leftist political leaders. This is what the type of civil war I'm talking about looks like it is. Armed groups with various objectives trying to take over territory with great cultural and political influence. And they're often violent. If America continued to go down the road of civil war that we were in under Biden, it was not going to look like it did in 1860. It would have looked more like Belfast in 1972 or Aleppo in 2011. Now, there were and are important differences in our country. The United States is a very big nation. It's not a small country like Ireland. Social media are clearly fueling the conflict. Our population is heavily armed. Everyone's frightened. I don't care who you are. Everybody knows that something is wrong. I never thought I'd see apartheid in America, but that is what we had under Biden. White people excluded from graduations called every name under the sun on MSNBC and CNN and taught to hate their own race. How is this even possible in the United States of America? I mentioned Stalin's Russia because there is another historical precedent for what we saw under Biden, which is why Trump is fighting so fast. It wasn't about race under Stalin. It was about class warfare before the farms were taken over by the Bolsheviks, the state which then mismanaged the farm so badly that 30 million Russians died in a famine. There was first a hatred projected against farmers. Does that sound familiar? Stalin attacked the farmers first by slandering them, giving them the name kulak. Kulak has a few different meanings in Russian. Exploiter, opportunist, et cetera. Does it sound familiar now? The kulaks were demonized as anti communist and greedy for owning too many acres of land and being modestly affluent. They became scapegoats for the failure of communism on the reasoning that the wealth they created was somehow stolen from their comrades. Does that sound like the rhetoric you heard from most of the Democrats before Trump came along? Yeah. This is exactly what was going on in America toward white people. And this was coming out of the mouth of Joe Biden, social media, the universities from blacks and white communists. They were targeting white people the way farmers were targeted in Russia. Their relative success was characterized as resulting from their oppression of people of other races. It makes no more sense than the demonization of the kulaks. But the demagogues did not appeal to reason. They tapped into the worst of people's emotions, which is envy. Take a look at the universities today. Do you see any young white boys moving ahead in universities? No. They're not even being hired. I know for a fact that white males need not apply. So the farmers in Russia were first called kulaks. And then something horrible happened. Then Stalin sent his police in to the countryside to steal their grain. He said that they were hoarding the grain for profit. They were profiteering. And not only did these violent police from Moscow, they were young Bolsheviks, by the way. They were young. The young people, the young Bolsheviks from Moscow were sent into the country and they used their police to steal the grain from poor farmers who were living in huts. But they also boasted they even stole their shoes and the pillows from underneath their sleeping children's heads, which is what occasional cortex Bernie Sanders and the other insurgents of the left would do to us if Biden had won again. Or Harris, whatever, whoever they put in. Well, then the brutality started. Stalin recruited street thugs, Marxist street thugs from the cities. Sound familiar? Sound like Black lives Matter or perhaps, perhaps. Does it sound like antifa? Huh? Well, Stalin sent these violent street thugs out to the farms to beat and kill the farmers. It starts with hate and then the atrocities follow and the ones doing the killing and the hating justify it. They justify their violence as being defensive because the targeted group is oppressing them or even just because they're, quote, racist. Do you understand what was going on in this country and what's still going on under the surface? Couple this with social media that are not controlling us from the left and you'll have to say that we're already in a state of civil war and it was stopped just in time by Donald Trump. If you look at Syria, Iraq, Ukraine and Ireland, it is clear that the modern American equivalent is happening here. Has the collapse occurred? No, I wrote, not yet. Many of you can put it out of your minds by watching movies or stuffing your face with garbage, but I'm telling you that things could accelerate quickly from here. It could all collapse. This was when Biden was in power. If you want to stop Joe Biden in the so called woke culture from turning us into slaves and turning this reality into another world that you can never escape. You have to wake up to the fact that the civil war has begun and you must either stand up and kneel down. Period. You must either stand up or kneel down. There is no third choice. And then I wrote about the real armed insurrection that that had occurred under Biden. Look at Portland, Oregon. You remember what happened there? You remember what happened in Seattle? Do you remember what they were doing in this country? I tried to warn all freedom loving Americans that your rights were under attack from the Biden knights, the Democrats, the radical left wing socialists who infiltrated every aspect of American life. I covered all the dangerous hot topics that were currently engulfing the United States. Politics and threatening the American way of life. Tell me if I'm wrong when I say minority crime wave. Check that one. Death of free speech. Check that one. Destroyed borders. Check that one. Perverse attacks on our school children. Check that one. A raging foreign war. Check that one, my friends. Donald Trump came to power to try to end the war and create peace. That is why he's moving at such a rapid, rapid pace. Blitzkrieg is a tactic and it's working. And I'm Michael Savage and I'll say to you again, you don't have to like my ideas to like me. The one and only me, Michael Savage. Thanks for listening. Bye bye.

Podcast Summary: THE SAVAGE NATION – "Is TRUMP Moving Too Fast? - BONUS!"
Episode Information:
In this episode of The Savage Nation, Dr. Michael Savage delves into the provocative question: "Is Trump moving too fast?" Opening with his characteristic blend of assertiveness and insight, Savage sets the stage for an in-depth discussion about former President Donald Trump's aggressive political maneuvers and their implications for the American socio-political landscape.
Savage begins by likening Trump's tactics to a blitzkrieg, drawing parallels between Trump's rapid policy changes and the strategic overwhelming force used in military tactics.
Michael Savage [03:00]: "That's what Trump has been doing. So it's working up to a point."
He suggests that while Trump's aggressive actions may be effective in confronting his opponents, they might also be overextending, potentially causing friction even among his supporters.
Highlighting his active engagement on Twitter, Savage emphasizes the transformative impact of social media on public discourse and political strategy. He reflects on how platforms like Twitter enable instantaneous communication, contrasting it with the slower, more cumbersome methods of the past.
Michael Savage [00:45]: "You can tweet in two seconds and the whole world can see you. It's an amazing world."
He underscores the necessity for preparedness in the face of rapid changes, advising listeners to stock up on essential medications to brace for potential emergencies.
Drawing from his book "A Savage Republic," Savage explores the concept of a leftist insurgency, portraying it as a modern form of civil war fought through ideological battles rather than traditional warfare.
Michael Savage [07:15]: "This is the nature of the civil war in which we find ourselves. We're not going to see massive armies of Americans marching toward each other. It's a war of ideas."
He categorizes the American populace into three groups: conservatives, libertarians, and progressives, arguing that the latter have transformed into a coercive and violent force intent on enforcing their agenda. Savage warns of the potential descent into National Socialism, drawing alarming comparisons to Nazi Germany.
Michael Savage [09:30]: "Progressivism is leading to National Socialism. Think of Germany in the 1930s, National Socialism was Nazism. That's what Hitler introduced into Germany, National Socialism."
Savage actively engages with his audience, reading and responding to several listener comments that reflect a spectrum of opinions on Trump's rapid policy implementation.
Steve [10:00]: Expresses concern over the expansion of executive power.
"Regardless of political affiliation, he's creating precedence. That precedence can be utilized to the same degree when the other side of the aisle gets in."
Richard [10:30]: Critiques specific policy changes and potential conflicts of interest.
"There are some agencies that didn't need gutting... It is starting to look like it's personal rather than professional."
Justin [11:00]: Offers a more neutral perspective, acknowledging progress despite disagreements.
"I didn't vote for him, but I have to say it's been nice to see something actually being done."
Marco [11:30]: Believes Trump is acting with purpose and intensity learned from his first term.
"Intuition says he's not wasting time. If he really wants revenge... Best wishes, Mr. President."
Savage uses these comments to illustrate the divided public opinion and the complexities of Trump's strategies.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to drawing historical parallels between current events and past conflicts. Savage references the Soviet Union's treatment of the kulaks, the Colombian civil war, and modern insurgencies in Syria and Ireland to underscore his view that America is on the brink of a similar internal conflict.
Michael Savage [16:45]: "Stalin recruited street thugs, Marxist street thugs from the cities. Sound familiar? Sound like Black Lives Matter or perhaps, perhaps. Does it sound like Antifa?"
He posits that the aggressive actions taken by Trump are a necessary countermeasure to prevent the complete descent into chaos and authoritarianism likened to historical dictatorships.
Savage addresses several hot-button issues, including minority crime rates, the erosion of free speech, border security, and attacks on school children. He accuses current leftist movements of fostering an environment where minority crimes are glorified, free speech is stifled, and cultural divisions are deepened.
Michael Savage [22:00]: "Destroying borders. Perverse attacks on our school children. A raging foreign war."
In wrapping up, Savage reaffirms his stance that Trump's rapid and aggressive policies are a strategic response to the escalating leftist insurgency. He warns of the dire consequences should this momentum falter, urging his listeners to remain vigilant and supportive of Trump's methods to safeguard American freedoms.
Michael Savage [25:00]: "Donald Trump came to power to try to end the war and create peace. That is why he's moving at such a rapid, rapid pace."
He closes with his signature sign-off, emphasizing that his listeners do not need to agree with all his ideas to appreciate his efforts.
