Michael Alan Weiner (born March 31, 1942), better known by his professional name Michael Savage, is an American radio host, author, activist, nutritionist, and conservative political commentator. He is the host of ''The Savage Nation'', a nationally syndicated talk show that aired on Talk Radio Network across the United States until 2012, and in 2009 was the second most listened-to radio talk show in the country with an audience of over 20 million listeners on 400 stations across the United States. Since October 23, 2012, Michael Savage has been syndicated by Cumulus Media Networks. He holds master's degrees from the University of Hawaii in medical botany and medical anthropology, and a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in nutritional ethnomedicine. As Michael Weiner, he has written books on nutrition, herbal medicine, and homeopathy; as Michael Savage, he has written four political books that have reached ''The New York Times Best Seller List''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hawes.com/2003/2003-03-02.pdf )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hawes.com/2004/2004-01-18.pdf )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hawes.com/2005/2005-05-01.pdf )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hawes.com/2006/2006-05-14.pdf )〕 Savage has summarized his political philosophy in three words: borders, language, and culture. Savage has characterized his views as conservative nationalism,〔 while critics have characterized them as "fostering extremism or hatred."〔 He opposes illegal immigration to the United States, supports the English-only movement and argues that liberalism and progressivism are degrading American culture. Although his radio delivery is mainly characterized as politically themed, he also often covers topics such as medicine, nutrition, music, literature, history, theology, philosophy, sports, business, economics, and culture, and tells personal anecdotes. Since 2009, Savage has been barred from entering the United Kingdom, for allegedly "seeking to provoke others to serious criminal acts and fostering hatred".〔Savage forbidden from Britain: "Britain...published its first list of people barred from entering the country" (The Huffington Post )〕〔(Document quotes: ) "Home Office name promoters of hate excluded from the United Kingdom," Savage "seeking to provoke others to serious criminal acts and fostering hatred which might lead to inter-community violence."〕〔BBC: "(US 'hate list' DJ to sue Britain )" May 6, 2009,〕 ==Early life and education== Savage was born Michael Alan Weiner〔 in the Bronx, New York, one of three children of Benjamin and Rae Weiner,〔 Jewish emigrants from Russia.〔〔 He described his childhood as difficult.〔 His father, the owner of an antiques shop, died of a heart attack at age 57〔 in 1970,〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=NNDB )〕 and his mother died in 2003. After graduating from Jamaica High School in 1958, Savage attended Queens College, where he earned a bachelor's degree in biology in 1963.〔 After college Savage taught high school for several years in New York City. His first marriage in 1964 to Carol Ely ended in divorce, and he remarried in 1967 after meeting his current wife, Janet. During this time Savage also worked for famous psychedelic drug advocate Timothy Leary as keeper of the stone gatehouse on the Hitchcock Cattle Company estate at Millbrook NY, which Leary had been given access to. Leary hired him to the post because Savage did not use LSD himself.〔 Savage then earned a Master of Science degree in botany from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 1970 and a Master of Arts from the same institution in 1972, in anthropology.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.anthropology.hawaii.edu/people/alumni/mas1970-1979.html )〕 He obtained a Ph.D. in 1978 from the University of California, Berkeley, in nutritional ethnomedicine. His thesis was titled ''Nutritional Ethnomedicine in Fiji''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Savage」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
