No One Can Replace Rush Limbaugh But Someone Is Taking His Time Slot

The shoes will be mighty big ones to fill, but someone is going to have to rise to the challenge.

After a yearlong battle with an aggressive form of lung cancer, legendary radio host Rush Limbaugh passed away just a few weeks ago. From the right side of the aisle, a heavy-duty outpouring of love and support for his friends and family. From the left, it was uncouth and crass glee, along with a number of punchlines that lazy comedic writers began working on while Trump was still the President.

Now the big question remains: Who is going to step up and carry the mantle for Rush?

Cumulus Media’s Westwood One announced on Wednesday that Dan Bongino will be launching a new radio show during the time slot left vacant by conservative talk radio icon Rush Limbaugh.

The program, “The Dan Bongino Show,” will broadcast 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. ET in select markets starting May 24, including KABC Los Angeles, WLS Chicago, WBAP Dallas, KSFO San Francisco, and WMAL Washington, D.C.

“The Dan Bongino Show will tackle the hot political issues, debunking both liberal and Republican establishment rhetoric,” the press release described. “As a former Secret Service agent and NYPD officer, Bongino is uniquely positioned to provide commentary and analysis that directly questions the philosophical underpinnings of both the Left and Big Government Republicans.”

Bongino has long been an ardent supporter of free speech and conservatism and was a vocal supporter of social media platform Parler during its heyday.
