"Well, let me tell you what's really going on," said Bongino, asking his viewers to tag other conservative radio hosts when they shared his video. "You know why I'm losing their support? Because a lot of them don't have the balls to stand up and do what I'm doing because they don't want to lose their freaking gravy train."
He also attacked some of the other conservative radio hosts' companies for trying to promote their "corporate lackey" clients to take over his radio spots, saying he was proud to be a "troublemaker" and using terms like "vulture" and "parasite" to describe his rivals.
"We gonna stand up this thing, against this vaccine mandate," asked Bongino, "or kiss the ass of the left as they take away our body sovereignty?"

---

He made a reference to "sports guys" trying to take his spot because he refused to go along with the mandates. That's pretty pathetic if that's true.

Also said he was starting a fund to help other Cumulus radio employees that lost their job due to the vaccine mandate. He's seeding the fund with 250k of his own money and will announce details later on how we can donate.

I like Bongino and Travis. Is that wrong?

If Travis was trying to profit off of the mandate then I have a problem with it and lost some respect for him.

While we may like Clay now, he's made of soft clay and possesses no convictions. He voted for Obama……twice. He's dangerous to the future of conservatism, and Rush's team made a long term mistake for short term gain.

Never understood this viewpoint. I think it encapsulates the overall political standing of the country - and how the left has gone further left while moderates are stuck looking around for answers. He's never lied about who he voted for in the past

Bongino has just sounded too angry for me, most of the time.

Rush is an unfair comparison point, but he did a great job always seeming happy/joyous, as well, no matter what the leftists were flinging around in his days.

According to Dan, that's exactly what was happening. His guys were contacting the old Rush radio stations and telling them that they needed to dump Bongino over the mandate thing and take his show instead.

Clay has been constantly anti-vax mandate citing his own natural immunity in the process while also saying heck no to a vax mandate for kids including his own. What am I missing?

Dont trust Clay Travis AT ALL. He voted for obama twice. Poor judgement

Who is winning the 11am-2pm CT slot nationally in the ratings between Clay/Buck and Bongino now that they have competed for a few months?

I don't think I've seen such information.

Exactly. Even went to his children's school board meeting to speak out against mask mandates.

Was he a liberal? Maybe. But he is not now.

We need to embrace people who get red pilled. It's a great thing!

Got to expect that with competition.

Bongino got out in front early after Rush died and scooped up a lot of his old stations before the EIB Network came out with their new hosts. I'm sure the EIB Network would love to have those stations back. Expect more competitive efforts in the years ahead.

Millionaires arguing with one another

I like both.

I do have some difficulty listening to Bongino every day - somewhat like a Hannity or Levin where there is going to be a little more anger and just simple partisan-ness and toeing the line instead of reason.

None are perfect, but if I'm going to listen everyday Clay and Buck seem to be a better listen for me because they keep it a little lighter and talk about some things outside of politics.

That being said I also may listen to neither of the above and do one of the Daily Wire podcasts on some days.

Just depends on my mood, whether I am tired of a topic, etc,

Great news - there is room for all of them!

Just read the linked article and another linked within the linked article. Very interesting. Thanks for posting. Some quotes:

Quote:

---

Dan Bongino has been off the air for weeks as he carries out an intense feud with the syndicator of his radio show.

It's a been bad time to take off for a conservative firebrand, given the abundance of news: a tight gubernatorial race in Virginia that ended in a Republican victory, the looming threat of vaccine mandate strikes, and President Joe Biden either falling asleep on the global stage as his approval ratings sink to lower lows.

But Bongino is not currently hosting his widely-syndicated show, and the radio stations that carry him are left to air re-runs of past programs that are by definition pretty stale.

The reason for this, according to Dan Bongino, is principle: he is protesting the vaccine requirement of Cumulus Media, the parent company of Westwood One, which syndicates The Dan Bongino Show.

---

Quote:

---

A source with direct knowledge of the company's policy revealed to Mediaite that anyone on the chopping block for refusing to get the vaccine was already fired. So the notion that Bongino is taking a principled stand against mandates as a means of protecting the freedom of his colleagues doesn't make much sense

The self-imposed exile, sources say, is more about Bongino's flagging commitment to continuing his three-hour daily show. There is a lot of rumbling within Cumulus - and stations that syndicate his show - that Bongino's stand against mandates is actually a naked attempt to break a contract he does not like.

---

So Bongino has not done his show for weeks and is complaining that his competitors are doing a live daily show and offering it to radio stations that may want to air a relevant and topical live show?

I like Brian Kilmeade's show. Runs in the 8-11 slot with podcasts available later in the day.

After Rush passed, I started listening to Bongino. I liked him at first, but have moved over to Clay and Buck. I got tired of Dan spending 15-30 minutes every broadcast demanding that social media companies deplatform him so he can show them that he doesn't need them to get his message out. That got old fast.

If corporate execs told Clay Travis that his audience loves to use 100 different pronouns and supports CRT, then the next day you'd hear him singing CRTs praises while asking all his guests what they'd prefer to be called.

Dude's only objective is to get more money and more power. He'll do anything and say anything to get it. Right now, he's figured the best way to do that is to have opinions that I agree with. Tomorrow always could be a different story.

Sure they can, but I am very skeptical of any grown man who voted for Obama TWICE.

Hussein is a destructive piece of ***** That was beyond evident immediately after he took office to anyone who failed to pick up on it beforehand.

Exactly. Reagan was a Democrat.

And it's ridiculous Bongino is trying to pin the woke/rona' crazy with Clay. Dude has been from day 1 on SPORTS talk radio (which was taking a far bigger chance on his content than Bongino ever has) railing against these crazy policies being pushed.

This whole thing is bs. All this simply because Clay is more talented radio host and winning in the marketplace by getting affiliates back to EIB. Not that it matters (bc it's a personal decision), but Clay has also said he hasn't got the shot.

Anyone voting for Obama in 2012 after how had behaved indeed needs to be scrutinized.

seems like a snake in the grass. shame.

There is also Dennis Prager overlapping in the same time frame. When able to listen, alternate between him and Bongino and even just the fun sports 105.3, etc.

Not what I said. Yes people's views can change.

This thread feels like people are grasping a reason to not like one person over the other. I like them both, can only take Bongino in small doses, and really only catch Clay when he pops into a Fox News segment. Both seem like great guys.

I support what Dan is trying to do with the mandates. He's willing to lose his job over the whole thing.

If some on the right (according to what he said) are trying to undercut him then that's wrong IMO. I'd prefer conservatives to stick together on this issue instead of trying to profit off of it. Who knows what's true, but that would suck if Travis did this.

I get that people are skeptical of Clay because he's a young conservative that's just embraced the movement in the past few years. But until he "reverts" back to the left again, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that his views have changed since the second term of Obama. There are many like him.

If you really want to see how stupid people are about the mandate go read this.

This sad attempt to remain relevant will go as well as his promise to quite Twitter and crush them with Parler. Now he's back on Twitter, and Parler says he lied about owning it.

This is also true. Another thing that should count is did he vote for Trump in '16? That would effectively cancel 2012.

But what matters is the present stances and actions if they are not pretenses. An example of this is Rogan seems to really be shifting. It is enough to cease supporting coercive socialism. Being liberal doesn't have to equate to being anti-liberty, capitalism, or West.
