Simple: Run him on a 5-minute delay and fact-check with a live chyron.

Announce at the beginning exactly WHY the delay is being used, and make the chyron nice and big.

Give him twenty-five minutes to bloviate.

Then cut him off.

Use the next half hour to allow one or two sane people to rebut, and/or deconstruct the most egregious lies.

One hour of broadcast time.

Perfectly do-able.

They won't, though.

futilely,
Bright

I like your suggestion of simply normalizing the delay-and-fact-check-by-chyron as a standard practice.

appreciatively,
Bright
