This is the Michael Savage Show Summary for Monday November 2, 2009, listen to the entire Savage Nation show at TRNCentral.com that’s TRN Central.com:

Savage opened with this song by Eddie Fisher “Oh My Papa”

Savage said he opened with that song because his Father who passed away in 1970, God rest his soul, fled Russia because Marxism was a system in which he could not live, he came here for freedom, and every day he sees a Caesar in the White House surrounded by apparatchiks

Savage asked whether the visitor lists provided by the White House with such names as Malik Shabazz, Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Jamie Dimon/Diamond/Demon, was real or was the White House lying when they said that those names were false positives.

Savage said the Supreme Court will eventually stop Obama. He added that Newt Gingrich is one of the most dangerous deceivers in politics. He was referencing this story:

Newt Gingrich has endorsed Dede Scozzafava for the NY-23 congressional seat. Hoffman lost the bid to run as a Republican and is now running as a conservative since Scozzafave supports the stimulus, card check, and plenty of other bad policies. Guess who Newt endorsed? I actually would agree with him except the previous holder of this seat was a Republican who won the district with SIXTY PERCENT. This is NOT a liberal district where a moderate Republican is the only chance there is.

Savage repeated the rumors that Keith Olbermann wears a diaper because he urinates on himself, this allegation was leaked by people that interned on his MSNBC show.

Savage wondered how grown men could watch baseball.

Savage says the reason we are in such a sad state is because the fourth estate has become the fifth column.

Update: Savage claims to have invented the above phrase, now he may never have heard it before but he did not utter it first, just as he was not the first person to utter “trickle up poverty”, here is the evidence, from July of 2008, an article entitled “Is the fourth estate a fifth column” written by Bill Moyers. I hope Savage did not steal the line from Bill Moyers. Here is Moyers:

Sadly, in many respects, the Fourth Estate has become the fifth column of democracy, colluding with the powers that be in a culture of deception that subverts the thing most necessary to freedom, and that is the truth.

Wow, this paragraph by Moyers sounds exactly like Savage from last week’s show about corporate boards running the newspapers:

Our media institutions, deeply embedded in the power structures of society, are not providing the information that we need to make our democracy work. To put it another way, corporate media consolidation is a corrosive social force. It robs people of their voice in public affairs and pollutes the political culture. And it turns the debates about profound issues into a shouting match of polarized views promulgated by partisan apologists who trivialize democracy while refusing to speak the truth about how our country is being plundered.

Our dominant media are ultimately accountable only to corporate boards whose mission is not life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for the whole body of our republic, but the aggrandizement of corporate executives and shareholders.

These organizations’ self-styled mandate is not to hold public and private power accountable, but to aggregate their interlocking interests. Their reward is not to help fulfill the social compact embodied in the notion of “We, the people,” but to manufacture news and information as profitable consumer commodities.

Democracy without honest information creates the illusion of popular consent at the same time that it enhances the power of the state and the privileged interests that the state protects. And nothing characterizes corporate media today more than its disdain toward the fragile nature of modern life and its indifference toward the complex social debate required of a free and self-governing people.

Savage referenced the classic novel “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger

Savage read some excerpts from the novel:

I have a feeling that you’re riding for some kind of a terrible, terrible fall. But I don’t honestly know what kind…. It may be the kind where, at the age of thirty, you sit in some bar hating everybody who comes in looking as if he might have played football in college. Then again, you may pick up just enough education to hate people who say, ‘It’s a secret between he and I.’ Or you may end up in some business office, throwing paper clips at the nearest stenographer. I just don’t know.
The Catcher in the Rye
Mr. Antolini in Chapter 24

This fall I think you’re riding for - it’s a special kind of fall, a horrible kind. The man falling isn’t permitted to feel or hear himself hit bottom. He just keeps falling and falling. The whole arrangement’s designed for men who, at some time or other in their lives, were looking for something their own environment couldn’t supply them with. Or they thought their own environment couldn’t supply them with. So they gave up looking. They gave it up before they ever really even got started.
The Catcher in the Rye
Mr. Antolini in Chapter 24

Among other things, you’ll find that you’re not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You’re by no means alone on that score, you’ll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You’ll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn’t education. It’s history. It’s poetry.
The Catcher in the Rye
Mr. Antolini in Chapter 24

Savage said men of his generation were formed by great novels such as Salinger’s, yet today what is taught to the youth?

A Classic Savage Quote: If there is a quasar, a black hole, or a pulsar what do I need to kill myself for.
