We all know he's just a blowhard.  Why?  Because it makes him money.  And lots of it.  The more ignorant and racists he sounds, the higher his ratings.  The higher his ratings, the more money he makes.  I tend to believe he probably believes a lot of what he says, but I have no doubt he inflates things for the ratings.  Here is a man of Irish descent who has the audacity to say that immigration and minorities are killing America.  Guess he forgot about his ancestors and the hell they had to go through - but then again, that doesn't make for good tv or radio.
