Savage reflects on a story ahead of its time "The Mugger and The Beatnik Poet" from his 2002 book A Savage Nation. In this incredible chapter, he predicted the decline of once great American cities. He laments recent events, including American troops being killed in the Middle East, and expresses fear that these events will drag America into ongoing conflicts. He then shares poems expressing despair and queries the relevance of prayers during chaotic times. He acknowledges the belief in prayer by historical figures like General Patton. Then, he speculates on the integrity of the legal system after a court ordered Trump to pay $83 million to E. Jean Carroll. He emphasizes the significance of children learning to have faith in God and to obey his Commandments. How can we stop the weakening of America's cultural foundations and the rise of radical leftist ideologies? He warns against Democratic socialism, particularly figureheads like Bernie Sanders, a modern day Trotskyite. Savage urges the importance of education, awareness, and resistance against the threats we face.
