i occasionally listen to his podcast, mostly because i think he's a good mouthpiece for his views, and i try to get something close to a cross-section of varying views. i certainly don't agree with all he says, but he's a strong advocate for his pov.
i generally think he's on pretty solid ground in his economic thinking, and when he gets onto some religious matters i find him a bit silly - he's had creationists & id'ers on his show, & i believe he's said a few intelligent design-friendly things over the years. i don't listen regularly enough to know his exact opinions, but i think he's not on particularly solid ground on those matters as best i can tell.
i can't help but feel that he showed a little too much concern in playing to his own fan base when it came to the election & trump. in the episodes i've heard recently, i think he's been far too casual about the way trump eroded some basic norms, didn't seem concerned at all about his trade illiteracy, & didn't seem to push back at all on the really silly conspiratorial tweets & lawsuits trumpland has floated after the election. that i find very hard to take, & while doing that may have been better for his bank account, i don't think it will be good for his conscience.
