This morning he had on Tanner from Cato in the first segment about health care, agreed with the libertarian market perspective on the issue, and next segment equated libertarians to Rockefeller Republicans (which admittedly was something new for him). The alternatives at that timeslot are Limbaugh or news, which gets repetitive after 20 minutes. He does it like, almost daily.
