The reason is, is that we are therefore independent of political influence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The White House did not respond to requests Thursday for comment on whether it will move forward with its written threat to terminate Savage from the board of the Presidio Trust.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This came out of the blue this morning: Resign or we&#8217;re going to fire you by the end of the day,&#8221; Savage told Schmitt, noting he will not resign and will seek a legal injunction in the Biden administration is attempting to terminate him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, my lawyer looked into the Presidio Trust bylaws, Rob. And the Congressional Act of 1996 establishing it says there&#8217;s no one, including the current president, who has the power to terminate an appointed board member. It is not part of the federal government.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Earlier Thursday, Savage told Newsmax he suspected his attempted removal was due to his latest proposal to promote a God &amp; the Soldier exhibit, trumpeting the military and religion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is 1200 pristine acres,&#8221; Savage said, describing the park in San Francisco the Presidio Trust looks after. &#8220;People like me stand in the way of developers. That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re there for: To make sure there&#8217;s not turned over two people want to make a profit off it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Note:<\/strong><\/span> See <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsmaxtv.com\/\"><span>Newsmax TV<\/span><\/a> now carried in more than 100 million U.S. homes, on <strong>DirecTV<\/strong> Ch. 349, <strong>Dish Network <\/strong>Ch. 216, <strong>Xfinity<\/strong> Ch. 1115, <strong>Spectrum, U-verse<\/strong> Ch. 1220, <strong>FiOS<\/strong> Ch. 615, <strong>Frontier<\/strong> Ch. 115, <strong>Optimum<\/strong> Ch. 102, <strong>Cox cable, Suddenlink<\/strong> Ch. 102, <strong>Mediacom<\/strong> Ch. 277, <strong>AT&amp;T TV<\/strong> Ch 349, <strong>FUBO<\/strong> and major OTT platforms like <strong>Roku<\/strong>, YouTube, Xumo, Pluto and most smart TV\u2019s including <strong>Samsung+<\/strong>, Sony, LG, Vizio and more \u2013 <strong>Find All Systems that Carry Newsmax \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmaxtv.com\/findus\"><span>Click Here<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Standing his ground against a Biden administration attempt to &#8220;purge&#8221; him from the Presidio Trust board \u2013 as appointed by President Donald Trump \u2013 author and radio host Michael Savage &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2312555,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/GetFile-5.aspx","fifu_image_alt":"Michael Savage to Newsmax TV: Biden Cannot Fire Me","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-532897","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/GetFile-5.aspx","fifu_image_alt":"Michael Savage to Newsmax TV: Biden Cannot Fire Me","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/532897","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=532897"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/532897\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2312555"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=532897"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=532897"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=532897"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
