I have never heard his show, but my understanding is that he says alot of outrageous things. As much as radio talk show hosts like to give the listeners the impression that they are "speaking freely", they are very much controlled by the network and even the seemingly "from the hip" comments and stunts are planned and acted out according to standards. I have a friend in radio who explained this to me and it turned me off to the FM radio talk shows altogether and I am wary of anyone who collects a pay check but claims to be independent.
