Thanks a million for the streamlink. I didn't really feel like running out to my car to turn on the radio.

I'm not surprised, I sometimes catch Savage on the drive home and he's starting to sound remarkably Paul-like over the last 5-6 months.

[angelatc]

Yep. Bizarroland.

[AGRP]

Theres got to be a catch.

[Sola_Fide]

What station?

[TXcarlosTX]

wow. times have changed!!! HAHA

[angelatc]

Its over. So far, he hasn't insulted Paul after Paul disconnected, either.

[AGRP]

When Paul said there had to be cuts, he didnt mention the military (which he almost always does).

That may have been the catch.

Ron is playing the game!!!

He IS trying to WIN this time around.

Im happy

[Agorism]

Savage's #1 issue is Israel and using the U.S. to attack the various nations that surround Israel geographically.

I'm surprised he talks to Paul.

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

He must sense which way the wind is blowing and is positioning himself accordingly. :D

[AuH20]

Savage isn't a bad guy. He's just extremely moody. I'm not surprised at all for his respect for Ron.

[NewRightLibertarian]

Yep. Bizarroland.

Ron is becoming too popular.

[realtonygoodwin]

Which hour of the show was it?

[GunnyFreedom]

Which hour of the show was it?

Right towards the end. Maybe the last half hour of the show.

[wgadget]

Well, that's great...But maybe he just wants higher ratings. :cool:

On the other hand, I believe that Savage peruses this very site regularly. And as one who has been trodden on (See Banned in Britain), he just may be getting a sense of how dangerous our loss of liberty is and how big it has grown.

I'd say so. The one way to differentiate himself from his main time slot rival (Levin) is to cozy up to us. Not just that he's a smart guy and businessman, I really think he's come our way over the last few years. If nothing else, he's come to realize who's a fraud and who isn't, which leaves RP as the only one to trust.

[Travlyr]

Yep... the free market pays off. :cool:

[sailingaway]

......I am laughing.....!

I wasn't here for all of the 2007 / 8 stuff, I voted for and donated to the man, but came in late. But my response is a lot more 'well it's about time they stopped listening to their preexisting prejudices about him and actually started listening to the man!'

Your response is different.....

[Zatch]

Did anyone post this from the other day where Michael Savage praised Ron Paul's article "When a cut is not a cut"


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG6Qx7u-rjE

It includes Ron Paul reading the article at the end.

The following day, he posted RAND Paul's article about the problem with raising the debt ceiling.

Now if we can just get him on the "Rick Perry is the Bilderberg candidate" train. If he got on that topic, I think it would be hard for me to diss him ever again. But I highly doubt it would happen.

When Paul said there had to be cuts, he didnt mention the military (which he almost always does).

That may have been the catch.

Just the other day Michael Savage mentioned that the military is 35% higher than it was some years ago and yet is no more effective now than it was then. That's an implicit statement of support for a cut to the military from Michael Savage. Savage has also come out and said that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan make no sense and he was never for the war in Libya.

[Brian4Liberty]

I'm surprised he talks to Paul.

He is also very much against the corporatocracy and socialism. He has been anti-war/anti-world police/anti-interventionism for a long time, with the exception that you mention. He has spoken out against all of the pandering to Israel lately, which is a surprise. The red-diaper-doper babies drive him crazy at times, so that might be a reaction to them. He has had Jack Hunter and Pat Buchanan on often in the past. At his core, he's very close to being a paleo-conservative.


Now if we can just get him on the "Rick Perry is the Bilderberg candidate" train. If he got on that topic, I think it would be hard for me to diss him ever again. But I highly doubt it would happen.

He won't go for Perry. He won't say "Bilderburg" either. His code word for an establishment Republican is "check-pants" Republican.

That was directly from an article Ron wrote, maybe the same one he quoted, in fact.

Ratings are always a factor. ;)

The Teo-cons have rejected Savage just as they have rejected Ron Paul. Levin and his buddies declared war on Savage, so at a certain point, Savage doesn't need to cater to them anymore.

I knew Savage was not a Rush/Hannity fan, but I didn't know there was a "feud" between him and Levin. Interesting. I haven't listened for several years, though.

I've never been able to tell Savage and Levin apart.

[wannaberocker]

The sad thing about this is the fact that your average person stops paying attention when Dr Paul mentions "bubbles, Fed and monitary system". The average person simply dosnt understand these ideas and so they just dont pay attention.

[Standing Liberty]

I listened to Savage on the drive home. He can be inconsistent on some things and has been somewhat hostile to Ron Paul in the past. So I was in shock when I heard Ron Paul as a guest. I was in even more shock to see how well he treated Ron Paul.
Although I do not agree with some of Savage's statements concerning foreign policy and drugs, he is a more compelling talk show host who has one of the better radio shows compared to the party hacks out there. Overall, I think people are realizing that Ron Paul has been right all along, especially on the economy. Savage could be a good ally to have.

Last time I listened to him several years ago, he was pro-war/pro-foreign intervention/Israel-firster. Has he changed on that?

Savage's voice and attitude don't make you want to reach through the radio and kill him (most of the time). ;)

[Standing Liberty]

As of late, he has seemed to change his tune on the war issue. Has been pretty anti "nation building". Nonetheless, he will probably always be an "Israel-firster" type.

[Cleaner44]

Think about it... I would bet most of us here did not think like Ron Paul at some point in our lives. Eventually we learned better. Others learn better too. I am no fan of Glenn Beck and I will never forget how he treated Ron Paul 4 years ago, but I do think he has learned over time. Many Americans are learning that Ron Paul is right and aholes like Savage can learn too. The R3volution is working.

[White Bear Lake]

It's good Savage is changing. The best radio host though IMO is Jason Lewis here in the Twin Cities. He used to be good buddies with Rush, subbed in for him once and awhile, but he since gone hardcore Ron Paul in the last two years and I don't think he's been on for Rush since.

[White Bear Lake]

Ron is becoming too popular.


Haha!

Libertarian hipsters - "I was for Ron Paul before it was cool to be for Ron Paul"

[Brian4Liberty]

I've never been able to tell Savage and Levin apart.

For a long time, when I heard Levin on the radio I thought it was Robert Reich.

[wgadget]

Although he seems to still hate Muslims (which I believe is wrong-minded), he has often questioned WHY we are in Afghanistan, and has said that we can't afford the Military/Industrial Complex. I don't know if he has caught on to the fact that America supports the Arabs as much or more than Israel.

[jmdrake]

Savage is still an Israel-firster, but at least he's intelligent enough to now know that these wars ultimately aren't even helping Israel. Here's Savage ripping Bush for the Iraq war, stating the obvious that it really helped Iran.

Savage is way too bipolar to ever be trusted. I caught a snippet of his show a couple of months ago where he said that he hates intellectuals in politics. I believe he was talking about RP and equated him with Woodrow Wilson.

In my opinion, Savage is butt-wounded about his being placed on the no-entry list to the UK. He has had little to no popular support for this wrong, thus, he is skulking around looking for new "friends" that the establishment neocons will despise, in hopes that they pay attention to him and get the limeys to lift his ban. Then, he will be back on the team with Levin, Shammity, and O'fascist.

Lewis has been propping up Bachmann way to much lately to the detriment of the good doc.

It's about reaching Savage listeners in the short term. I could care less what happens after November 2012.

[sparebulb]

I listen to Jason Lewis almost every day. He talks the talk, but I have noticed that his "libertarian" ideas almost never result in a conclusion that makes Ron Paul the obvious choice. Like specs said, much of his praise is directed toward Bachmann. Christie, Ryan, Palin, and Perry are his other favorites.

I have concluded that he is controlled opposition and a key psychological component of the phoney Tea Party movement. It doesn't prevent me from listening to him though.

[Immortal Technique]

wooot

[DRHChi]

This is huge. Savage has an audience of 11 million, and they are the exact type of people who would support Ron Paul passionately if they could get over the stigma of it.

When Savage asks them to buy a book, they make it #1 on amazon, when he asks them to resist legislation, they flood politicians with calls and actually get results(they stopped a deal to outsource the operation of our ports to a company owned by the UAE government). Last election Savage had no candidate to back, so we didn't get to see what his impact on elections could be.

Is Savage a Austrian economics libertarian? Definitely not. In fact, in the same show where he had on Ron Paul, he also advocated placing a 20% tariff on Chinese goods. But he is getting better, and he's always had a libertarian streak which is now budding. In the past he has said terrible things about Muslims. Now he routinely defends them on his show as being predominantly good people, and has written a fictional book in which the protagonist (which is abstractly semi-autobiographical) works closely with a Muslim and they get over their differences and suspicions of each other through dialogue. He is far less concerned about Israel, and actually has always said the only reason to care about Israel is because they are an ally to the US. In summary, Savage is an independent intellectual who is a bit bipolar, but very passionate and with generally good instincts and an appreciation for rigor, so its no surprise he's coming on board. He actually has academic credentials that rival Ron Paul's.

I think we should embrace the new attention from Savage and try our best to get him to publicly back Ron Paul. It would be a great transition story, and if he gets 3 million supporters to back Ron Paul it could easily get him the nomination.

I hope people are actually listening to the interview. It was spectacular! To the naysayers, quit looking for a reason to be negative. I don't trust Savage, but a good interview is a good interview.

For all those who think Savage is an Israel-firster - here is Savage arguing Israel should get no aid from us

[Cowlesy]

I don't have a problem with Savage other than I feel like he's always trying to get me to buy a book he released 15 years ago.
