Neal Boortz - The Neal Boortz Show

Boortz hosts the nationally syndicated talk show, The Neal Boortz Show, which airs live from 8:30 AM to noon ET Monday through Friday. His nicknames include: "The Talkmaster", "Mighty Whitey", "The Mouth of the South", "America's Rude Awakening", and the "High Priest of the Church of the Painful Truth". He routinely criticizes politicians, Muslim extremism, the homeless, public schools (which he calls 'government schools'), liberals, opponents of the Iraq war, teachers, smokers, the obese, Chevrolet Camaro drivers, cats, and welfare recipients. On air, Boortz refers to himself an "equal opportunity offender".

Boortz markets his talk radio show as "insensitivity training", with some of his statements have created controversy over the years. For example, Boortz believes that ADD and ADHD are "medical frauds" and a scam that teachers, parents, and drug companies use. Boortz has also received criticism because he refers to homeless people as "urban outdoorsmen". Boortz controversially refers to public education as "tax payer funded child abuse" and accuses parents of child abuse for sending their children off to "government schools". Boortz has made controversial statements that are critical of politicians and other statements that offend Christian conservatives. He has repeatedly criticized Senator Hillary Clinton, the late Senator Ted Kennedy, former Senator Max Cleland, former Representative Cynthia McKinney.

Boortz has expressed a negative opinion about the lack of Muslim outrage for the actions of Muslim Terrorists and the riots that erupted in response to the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy. Boortz has sparred with Bill O'Reilly, goading O'Reilly to call Boortz a "vicious son of a bitch" on The O'Reilly Factor. Boortz has made controversial statements about Muslim extremists." At the height of the Terri Schiavo case, Boortz strongly criticized groups that fought against the removal of Schiavo's feeding tube. After the Virginia Tech shootings, Boortz criticized the media, saying, "When the history of this event is written, we will have 25 students standing meekly waiting for this guy to execute them." When public outrage resulted from his comments, members of the Virginia Legislature tried to have Boortz's show removed from local radio stations. In March 2008, Boortz attracted controversy by playing an audiotape of a nine-year-old where he repeatedly ridiculed the child’s speech, leading to an unsuccessful FCC petition to deny Boortz’s employer the right to purchase five local radio stations.

Boortz announced his retirement from radio on June 4, 2012; the last show will air in January 2013, with Boortz's regular fill-in host, Herman Cain, slated to replace him. For most of the show's run, Boortz aired until 1:00 PM ET; in October 2012 (three months prior to the show's scheduled end), the last hour was jettisoned to make room for The Rush Limbaugh Show, which moved to Boortz flagship WSB at that time.
