Michael Savage: My Radio Show Is Influencing the White House

Right-wing radio broadcaster Michael Savage told a caller on his radio show yesterday that he believed his broadcast could be influencing President Trump’s decisions and that people working in the White House listen to his show.

On yesterday’s episode of “The Savage Nation,” Savage told a caller that he was unhappy with the White House’s foreign policy as it concerns the military and war. Savage said that he feared “the globalists have gotten control of [Trump’s] foreign policy” and that he was unhappy with the state of the federal budget deficit. Savage went on to tell the caller that by criticizing aspects of the Trump administration on his program, he believed he could be influencing Trump’s decisions on those topics.

“By raising issues like these, I may be influencing [Trump’s] decisions. I’m not saying he’s listening to me on Air Force One right now or listening to me in Japan, but this program is being recorded, and there are people in the White House who I happen to know are listening to the show, and they want to know what you think, and they want to know what I think,” Savage said to the caller.

Shortly after Trump won the presidency in 2016, Savage said that Trump’s election had saved white children in America from becoming slaves.

This is scary. My theory about AM hate radio and Fox News running the White House is proving to be more true every day.

Stephen Miller sprang instantly to mind as I read this.

So he doesn’t like what Trump is doing ( not pure enough I guess) but at the same time he’s influencing the White House. M’kay.

Like the people in the White House have time to listen to 3 hours of a radio show.

Trump is the president by and for AM talk radio hosts. They are directly influencing policy as evidenced by creepy Stephen Miller still having a job in this administration. It's scary to think they have a pull on what is happening right now.

Sad that you squander your influence for your own destructive agenda.
