“I am happy to be here, we’re gonna have a great show today, but in no way do I consider myself a ‘replacement for Rush Limbaugh’. There can be no true replacement, as Rush was one of a kind.”
That’s what he now says on his radio promos for the new show, on Cumulus Network.
Andrew Wilkow is just amazing. The way he breaks down the left's arguments.
As I understand it, Dan will operate out of the Conservative flagship D.C station WMAL. Dan worked out of WMAL years ago after he lost the House race in Maryland. I presume his show will be syndicated across Rush Country. I hope he does more interviews on his show than Rush did since he is operating out of the belly of the beast - Washington D.C. WMAL can be Internet live streamed and they have a great all day Conservative program schedule.
Does the current version of the show, with guest hosts, continue on non-Cumulus stations?
Dan has gotten Geraldo Rivera in dither here recently.
They have been arguing on Fox News about the Israeli-Palestinian violence. Bongino thinks Geraldo has been too soft on Hamas.
“I was so astounded that I almost drove off the road.”
LOL!
Yep I was driving too when I first heard Rush. Adrenalin kicked in and will never forget it.
I hope Dan Bongino will succeed. I’m not sure if I’ll hear him yet here. I hope soon he will be on WFLA...
There will not be another Rush Limbaugh! If Dan Bongino grades out a 85 or better on the Limbaugh Scale within his first month or two, I’ll give him a “Pass with Distinction” score.
(And I expect that he will exceed my expectations)
Will your patient be ok with this reason?
A good analysis here:
https://www.westernjournal.com/rush-limbaugh-show-makes-huge-announcement/
“Limbaugh’s blend of politics, cultural bear-poking, humor and warmth created the conservative talk genre.”
...
“Radio is a strictly verbal medium and Limbaugh’s rhetorical style, which was more scalpel-like than his critics ever gave him credit for, contrasts starkly with Bongino’s all-sledgehammer, all-the-time mentality.”
Each style has its place. Nothing against Bongino, but I would have preferred someone more clever and lighthearted to take the spot.
Big WMAL fan but stream Baltimore’s WCBM in the morning.
Sean Casey, the morning D.J., is great. Good mix of conservative views with a bit of silly.
Dan had a big fight with Geraldo Rivera when Geraldo went on about supporting the Palestinian terrorists just like the leftist sh*t he’s always been...........
The already have a replacement for Rush in Tulsa. I haven’t listened for a long time, just too long a goodbye.
We shall see what happens, but someone has been pushing the “Rush’s replacement” angle.
That ain’t a thing.
Bob Grant, Rush Limbaugh....Dan Bongino? I sincerely wish Dan the best. He’s got some big shoes to fill.
Dan Bongino is not taking over the golden EIB microphone.
“... announced on his website that he would christen his new program...”.
So we capitalize black now but not Christen.
No offense, but he can't and won't.
Talk radio is on life support. Until it can do something about cowardly and format-obsessed management, (callers can't speak for more than 30 seconds, OK?) overworked hosts juggling 2-3 different media careers, egotistical hosts interrupting callers and even guests, retard-level callers and insane amounts of repetitive/aggravating commercials and product placement, it will only get worse. Most likely we will not have talk radio as we know it in 10 years anyway.
I am the patient.
