The third hour of the Michael Savage Nation is usually prerecorded and put together by Talk Radio Network, although Savage’s contract allows him to opt-in to do the third hour live.\u00a0\u00a0 Frequently that hour is filled with prerecorded scripted “Interviews” that have been arranged, with various degrees of input by Savage – some are just prerecorded dropins where he says something like “My, that’s very interesting”.\u00a0\u00a0 Others appear to actually be done talking to the person, but still tightly scripted with Savage reading from the prearranged topics that the guest wants to talk about.<\/p>\n
When you know that the third hour of the show is created offline before Hour 1 and Hour 2, interesting things show up, like today.<\/p>\n
During the live part of the show, Savage was railing some more at the Republicans and how they are deliberately trying to lose again by running Romney (like they did with McCain in 2008), and he specifically lashed out at the Henry Kissinger folks beyond all of this.<\/p>\n
Then the third hour, Savage has an extended scripted interview with a woman who twice identifies herself as someone who used to work for Kissinger and admires him – she was talking about events in the Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood and how that could affect Israel, our Friend in the region.\u00a0\u00a0 Savage was polite and no hint about his feelings about Kissinger.<\/p>\n
When you know he does the live show after the recorded hour, that takes on a whole new significance – he possibly was using the live show to lash out at the prerecorded show he knew was coming.\u00a0 He also in the past few days lashed out at companies selling testosterone supplements, followed almost right away by an ad for a company pushing those exact things.<\/p>\n
Savage has said in a number of ways that he is a prisoner trapped by his contract with TRN with no way to get out – he tried to move to Westwood One when his contract was up for renewal, but failed\u00a0 and thinks he has no option but to be their slave for the rest of his life. \u00a0 Perhaps the bird trapped in the gilded cage is trying to open the door.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
