Conservative radio host Michael Savage tells Newsmax TV he is stunned that the Islamic State is not mentioned at any point in President Barack Obama's comments about the recent terror bombings in New York and New Jersey — nor is the jihadist group blamed in the indictment against suspect Ahmad Khan Rahami.
And Savage, host of "The Savage Nation" and author of "Scorched Earth: Restoring the Country after Obama," published by Center Street, said during an interview with Steve Malzberg on "America Talks Live" that there's a chilling explanation for the lack of responsibility for the thunderous blasts in Manhattan's trendy Chelsea neighborhood and the Jersey Shore last Saturday.
"Obama is probably very sympathetic towards the Muslim Brotherhood if not a member of the Muslim Brotherhood," he claims. "The Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the FBI, DHS [Department of Homeland Security]. This is very risky for me to say but it's time for everyone to speak up or we're all dead," Savage said.
"We know the FBI has been [weakened] under Obama. They're great field agents but the people who are running the organization never say Islamic terrorism."

In addition, Savage adds, Homeland Security is headed by Jeh Johnson, who he considers "a clown."
"[He's] a former Wall Street lawyer who has failed us on every level, every level. Not only what happened in New York what about all the other Muslim terror attacks and he's still in power? Why?" Savage says.
"Who is Jeh Johnson? Why is he running DHS? Why? To make sure that we don't see what's really going on."
Savage said this lack of responsibility resounds with Obama's ongoing desire to change the core of America.
And he accuses the commander-in-chief of leaving a legacy of hatred in his last year in office with the deadly rioting in Charlotte being the icing on the cake.
"Charlotte equals scorched earth. That's Obama's legacy. Hatred of white people and violence. What a great legacy," Savage said.
The fiery radio personality says the United States is in "very dangerous straits" and "if we think we're out of the water come [Donald] Trump's win if he wins, we're wrong. Obama is practicing a scorched earth policy in his last months of his despotic regime."
He also is critical of billionaire Democratic supporter George Soros, who he accuses of pumping money into activist groups like Black Lives Matter in a bid to cause mayhem.
"These riots are organized, these riots are paid for, the biggest supporter of them is George Soros, who gave Black Thugs Matter $70 million. This has to stop. There has to be consequences," Savage said.
"If Donald Trump becomes president, we need to have a trial as to the agitation paid for by this emigre who allegedly fled Nazism and look what he's doing to this country," he said.
Charlotte, North Carolina was rocked by two days of rioting this week as hundreds of angry protesters clashed with police over the deadly shooting of a black man by an African-American cop. Officers in riot gear threw flash grenades and tear gas canisters at the mob. One person was shot and critically wounded, though city officials insist the shooting was civilian-on-civilian.
The Tuesday shooting of 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott sparked the chaos. Scott's family members claim he was unarmed and holding a book when he was fatally shot in the parking lot of his condo building. But officials say he was holding a gun and did not comply with orders to drop it.
