Dan Bongino puts his career on the line over vaccine mandates
American Thinker ^ | 29 Oct, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

Posted on 10/29/2021 4:23:36 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Although he doesn’t even have skin in the game in this fight, Bongino is standing on his principles.

I discovered Dan Bongino’s podcast very early on, perhaps in 2016. I liked the clarity with which he described political issues, his insights, and his ebullience. Most of all, I liked his consistent principles. “Dan,” I thought to myself, “means what he says.” Bongino’s fight with Cumulus Media, which syndicates his daily three-hour-long radio, proves that he really does live by his principles. That’s why, despite being vaccinated himself, Bongino is threatening to pull out from Cumulus Media unless it revokes the vaccine mandates it imposed on all its employees.

In the early days, Bongino’s self-produced hour-long podcast was just Bongino, his wife, and his producer, Joe Armacost. Every weekday, year in and year out, with passion, humor, and insights, Bongino discusses the political news of the day.

At least once a week, a political story arises about a Democrat, or many Democrats, engaging in some act of hypocrisy, of the type giving rise to the expression that, if leftists didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any standards at all. Bongino always makes the point that, unlike leftists, his principles are fixed. If it’s wrong to do something, you don’t do it, regardless of the political advantage you can gain.

Over the years, Bongino started to appear occasionally on various Fox News shows, including guest hosting for Sean Hannity. Eventually, Fox gave him his own show, Unfiltered with Dan Bongino, which runs every Saturday night.

Then, when the great Rush Limbaugh passed away, Cumulus Media, which has 428 stations in 87 media markets, entered into an agreement with Bongino giving him a three-hour show in what was Rush Limbaugh’s time spot.

I hope more people hold out and stop the idiocy of communist central control. What happened to “Just Say NO”?

Dan is great but.... 4 years of listening to him during Trump and the Great Pumpkin never showed up (indictments - insiders with fresh dirt....etc). He just pours out frustrating hypocrisies of the left, but I already know this.

Courageous and unselfish. I hope his wife supports him and they aren’t fighting over it.

As time passes, I miss Rush more and not less.

If we still had a free enterprise system, Cumulus would be driven by maximizing profits for the owners (shareholders). Therefore would keep Bongino on the air and allow him to state his point of view as to the company’s vaccine policy.

If corporate executives had respect for the health and well being of employees, and believed in the concept of individual liberty on which our nation was founded, they would not be requiring employees to take an experimental “vaccine” which does not prevent the vaccinated from contracting the disease.

More evidence the republic is dead and the executives who run large corporations are allied with the leftists who control academia, the media, and the federal bureaucracy.

Bongino is an ‘exposeur.” He sheds light on fact about the left and their grievius manifestations of coomunism in America. Then Bongino ridicules them effectively.

Thats the way to fight totalitarianism opf the coomies here in America. Expose them, shine the light of day on their little back room scuttling and then ridicule the kheck out of them.

Dan is good at it. And you know what? Dans going to have his show with or without Cumulus Media.

Good for Dan,,,,,,stick to your guns Dano!

The Left knows talk radio is where they need to attack. When individual calls come in with tidbits of information they must cringe because every caller could be a whistleblower about their corruption.The Democrats that haven’t made a fortune under Obama and Biden must be so stupid and out of the loop they should retire now. The older democrats should retire because they have most likely tainted their family members in their corruption but ego might prevent retirement.

I miss Rush a lot, too. Where I live Bongino has taken Rush’s time slot, and I enjoy him a lot! He doesn’t get in to football, golf, etc., as far as I can tell, although I admit I’m not able listen every moment. IMO, he’s as good as Rush, but in a different way with a different style.

It’s admirable that he’s holding to his principles. If only our politicians had the same level of ethics. Sadly, they’re bought and paid for by big pharma — both RAT and GOP.

Just when you think it can’t get any worse.

Pfizer adds ingredient used to stabilize heart attack victims in vax for kids

Press California ^ | 10/27/21 | Staff Report

https://presscalifornia.com/2021/10/28/pfizer-vax-kids/

Buried on Page 14 in the Pfizer paperwork submitted to the FDA for the Covid vaccine for children is this disturbing nugget.

Vaccine formulation Authorization is being requested for a modified formulation of the Pfizer‑BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. Each dose of this formulation contains 10 μg of a nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding the viral spike (S) glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 that is formulated in lipid particles and supplied as a frozen suspension in multiple dose vials.

To provide a vaccine with an improved stability profile, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine for use in children 5-11 years of age uses tromethamine (Tris) buffer instead of the phosphatebuffered saline (PBS) as used in the previous formulation and excludes sodium chloride and potassium chloride. The packaged vials for the new formulation are stored frozen at -90°C to - 60°C. The frozen vials may be thawed and stored at refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C for up to 10 weeks.

Tromethamine (Tris) is a blood acid reducer which is used to stabilize people with heart attacks. Here are known side effects: Respiratory depression, local irritation, tissue inflammation, injection site infection, febrile response, chemical phlebitis, venospasm (vein spasms), hypervolemia, IV thrombosis, extravasation (with possible necrosis and sloughing of tissues), transient decreases in blood glucose concentrations, hypoglycemia, and hepatocellular necrosis with infusion via low-lying umbilical venous catheters
More here on general information about this horrid ingredient.

Look on the bright side.

Pfizer could have tested the new combo on lab animals first which would have been animal cruelty!

It’s not like Bongino goes to a Cumulus facility every day for his show. Most talk shows are done from remote studios with their producers.

So..who cares if they are vaxed? It’s just silly.

I was a Rush listener since literally his first day in syndication. I’ll admit that I pulled over to gather my composure when he died.

I’ve also been a Dan Bongino fan. I voted for him for Senate. We met during the campaign and had a rather detailed conversation. I remember telling my wife that we’re going to be hearing a lot more from him.

I don’t catch the radio show but listen to the podcast almost daily.

Talking a solid stand when you don’t have to and when it’s going to cost you millions is the mark of a true patriot.

And all for what, this?

http://tritorch.com/degradation/%21FDAAdivsersReviewPfizersCOVID19VaccineForKids16GotSick3Didnt90PercentEffective.png

FDA analysis calculated ... the vaccine would prevent roughly 200 to 250 COVID-19 hospitalizations for every 1 million youngsters vaccinated, with about 58 hospitalizations for heart inflammation.

Agree. I’m surprised that he’s never won any of the political races he was in. He reminds me of Trump.

I think of Rush often. I miss him every day that I would have been listening. I still can’t believe he was taken from us so early. It just doesn’t seem right.

More kids will die from this “vaccine” than from COVID. Period. The ones that will be permanently injured, neurologically, heart damage (for starters) will be MANY multiples of the death rate.

As one doctor said ....”parents, be very thoughtful, VERY thoughtful about this shot ... it’s a LIFETIME shot.”

Fortunately, my little great-nieces and nephew will never get it, although I fear greatly for some other little kids I know (distant cousins - their parents are sheeple, jumping through all the ‘vax’ hoops, boosters, the whole 9 yards .... on the ‘ronacoaster).

Dan is great but..

I agree. While I support Dan, I don't think he's going to win this battle. Rush had other guest hosts that I prefer over Dan and the only reason I listen to him is because he's the only syndicated talk show host in town with the exception of Dennis Prager in the same time slot but Prager gets tedious too.

Dan is more rant instead of issue analysis.........

After Senate he ran for US Congress to replace a retiring Republican. On election night he had a strong lead, but amazingly, something magical happened in the dark and the Democrat pulled off a major come from behind victory.

Gee, voter fraud in Maryland?
