GRANT STINCHFIELD (HOST): Why do I feel like there are no Republicans left in Washington willing to say or do what you or I do on a daily basis, which is simply speak the truth and take the fight to them? No one seems to be fighting for us, and I think that's what has everyone so angry.

MICHAEL SAVAGE (GUEST): I could only answer this in a kind of philosophical way. I look stuff up for you, Grant. I do hard work just for you. So I found a leftist professor who was a communist, Simone Weil, who wrote this "whenever one tries to suppress doubt, there is tyranny." Now I'd like to turn it on them. They're suppressing doubt, and they're producing tyranny. You can't doubt the vaccine. You can't doubt what's going on in Washington. So they're producing these rebellions. That's what's going on. They're producing these rebellions by suppressing any doubt.

So what the left themselves once believed and has been thrown out the window by, not a left-wing government -- you see, here's the mistake we're making. The Democrats are not a left-wing or liberal government. They're a gangster regime. They're a gangster regime. They're criminals. Most of them are on the take one way or the other. You can look at every one of them, and they got their hands in the pie somewhere. And what they're doing here is very cleverly turning it on these poor guys who went to Washington on January 6th. Let me say this, again. It's the red queen behind it all. And if they want to talk about insurrection, there was an insurrection on January 6th, and it was an insurrection by the government against the people. The government were the insurrectionists. They were the ones with the guns. They were the ones who killed her. There were no guns used by the protesters, none at all.
