I am a local and long-time listener of Phil.
I loved Phil, as I did Rush. I’ve lost two radio hosts inside of 1 year.
I’m still mourning Rush, “the best friend I never met”, and then this happened, despite my prayers.
He was the son of a conservative North Carolina Democrat representative of the 80’s. Phil had disagreements with his father over the years.
I believe the source of his “rebellion” against his father was that at some point in his life, he (Phil) made a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and was an early adopter of the new Republican South.
He is a my hero (along with TN Sen. Marsha Blackburn) because they almost single-handedly stopped the Tennessee State income tax bill which Rino Gov. Sundquist would have signed, if passed by the TN Assembly. (They encouraged people to drive around the state capitol and honk their horns)
On his radio show, he was consistently:
Anti-illegal immigration, anti-global warming (made a great video “An Inconsistent Truth”), pro-life, anti-tax, anti-RINO, pro-American, pro-military, pro-Trump, and every other conservative position you might imagine, and made a great case for each.
Over all, he was, in Mark Levin’s word’s, a “Great American.” He was cognizant of the lies foisted upon us by the deep state, the media, and the one-worlders.
In other words, we could not have had a better talk show host for Nashville and surrounding area. We are better, for having had him for these many years.
Thank you Phil and God bless your wife and 3 sons.
Like me three sons
Gut punch and his dear wife like me from mississippi
I too was born in North Carolina
Goldsboro
We all feared it was coming I’m sure you did too
Just sucks
Your post was very eloquent and heartfelt
My oldest boy who’s hard right youth in 4chan and was instrumental in finding Shia LaBoufs flag in east TN generally eschews talk radio as moderate
But my son said when he heard
I may think Phil a bit pragmatic but he and Rush I enjoyed
My whole family was sad
We remembered all the rallies when my kids were little
I have threads and pics here with it
Phil organized most of them
Life ain’t fair
He was a devoted christian so there is that
Thank U again
