Rush has built a very personal connection with his core audience. My grandfather would listen to rush with me as young boy, and now as grown man I still listen. Rush put his message out today to be honest with his audience out of respect for those that consider him a part of their personal lives.

Bongino has been very conscientious about not swearing in his podcast or tweets, he’s pissed. I know Dan was recently diagnosed with his own battle and this terrible tweet from savage hits close to home. I’m glad Dan let it out.

Both rush and Dan have my support, respect and I wish them both a fast recovery. They’re two of our most important voices in media.

He may or may not. I won't know, because I am never listening to that fool again.

Many prayers have been said for Rush. I am now praying for Rush and Dan as I just recently learned of his cancer. Such great men that I respect very much.

I never got the Michael Savage thing. Over the years I have tried to listen to him and I always walked away not understanding the attraction. But I always questioned myself because lots of conservatives say he is this great broadcaster and I just never understood the guy!

Neocon tribesman, former hippie leftist, Israel first. Not his real last name, giant shock.

I have some of his books. Let's just say the Michael Savage of the 2000s was better than the Michael Savage of today.

I used to listen to him, and he's always been brash but I didn't have any problems with him until he started attacking his producer on air a few years ago. Paraphrasing:

"Hey, producer. Bring my mic up. One more delay and you're out."

"That's it, you're fired. After this show don't come back. I don't put up with bullshit from anyone."

It didn't sound like he was joking. I don't know but it rubbed me the wrong way so I didn't listen after that.

His real name is Michael Weiner. Had to pick Savage as a stage name. ROFL.

Meh, Savage has always said stupid shit, but his borders, language and culture seems to have been inspiration for Trump.

In principle, it's an improvement over the most vanilla "conservatism", but it covers up the importance of race and biology (note "culture" rather than "race"), so it's useless. He's just trying to misdirect people's justified anger at the system into race-blind directions that will never achieve what we need.

"Savage" (Weiner) has also covered up who is behind open borders and refuses to debate that subject.

Savage is actually a very staunch conservative
