n 1992, Schultz became a conservative political talk show host on WDAY-AM

Schultz's political views leaned towards the right during the early years, and Schultz told the Los Angeles Times that he "lined up with the Republicans because they were anti-tax and I wanted to make a lot of money".

In the late 1990s, Schultz claims a series of events changed his political views from the far right to left of center..."

He didn't change any of his "views"- he realized he could yell and scream and make a lot of money by faking some kind of "conversion". Shultz is a blowhard who didn't do the Democrats any favors while he was insulting everyone alive on his "show". Good riddance to bad rubbish. MSNBC will find another fake "liberal" soon enough.
