Not a show, a "project" whatever that might be, short on details at this point.

I dislike the guy but keeping an open mind on this one

It was predicted more than once during the Presidential Campaign that he was more suited to be a shock jock and would find his level there.

Find his level? The guy operates in global commerce. He's not some sort of slack jawed yokel.

So does Trump.

Seriously though, some of the slackest jawed people I have met in life are in business. Not them all but some.

For a start, he's far less eloquent.

Voted for him but he is not talented on the speaking department, won't be tuning in.

Sure isn't he a well-known feminist member of the SJW PC-brigade...

It will make better listening than the Doc. I welcome this move, I might just turn back the dial depending on the time.

The man can barely string two coherent thoughts together tbh. He would be awful radio if you were choosing a radio host.

For a man with such a handicap, he’s amazingly successful in business and got the country talking about our ethnic minority.

Sounds like a one-off "project", an hour long documentary/Interview. No big deal...whatever.

Didn't say anything about handicap. It's just the way he has been.

Yes. He started a much needed debate.

Diatribes are not the same as debates tbh.
Debates are usually civilised discussions between two sides. He certainly vented a certain demographic, no doubt about that. But he has distanced himself from that since.

It's a commercial radio station,why wouldn't they.

He's only 20% popular anyway.
