THE FIRST SAVAGE NATION RADIO SHOW + DR. UN-SAVAGE - #1001

First Radio Show - March 21, 1994 Savage argues fear of lawsuits prevents firing incompetence, leading to promotions and broader societal decline, and invites listeners to share "horror stories." He also critiques a New York Times Magazine proposal to let police stop, frisk, and seize weapons from "likely suspects" without probable cause.  

"Dr. Un-Savage"

Savage, calling himself "Michael Un-Savage" after visiting "Dr. Pot," claims marijuana has liberated him from "truth, reason, and the American way" and launches an extended satire of liberal positions. He reverses earlier views on Iraq and Saddam Hussein, mocks religion, morality, and "logic," blaming the Bible on vitamin-deficient ancient Hebrews. Through calls, he endorses ideas such as sex education over science, buying non-American products, raising skilled-worker immigration, higher taxes and welfare voting, and defending the Clintons amid the Lewinsky scandal. He makes outrageous claims about NAMBLA, gun control, and abortion, repeatedly asserting that whatever "feels good" is right, before saying the marijuana is wearing off and he feels "the savage coming on."
