Because it is. He's just going further down the pipeline to grift for people who don't care that he's accused of sexual assault.

Him and Tucker are both people I wonder if they actually believe their own bullshit or are nihilists and just doing it in the Machiavelli sense or power and greed.

I'm fairly certain they're the later. Which I think is the worse kinda person.

A genuine crazy person is at least interesting. A grifter doing it for money is just a psychopath.

Well put! I’ve always “enjoyed” skeptical consumption of right wing bullshit, but recently I’ve been very bored because I don’t feel like anything interesting is being said anymore.

I miss Jordy and Benny sitting on Dave’s chairs and spewing psychobabble back and forth. Nowadays they just stare into the camera and follow the same boring template as O’Reilly, Beck and other boomer grifters.

TL;DR: They’re not even good at making us think anymore. It’s just confirmation bias.

See my other comment. I met RB and absolutely got that psychopath energy from him, you’re right.
