Conservative commentator Dan Bongino will take over the time slot which was previously dominated by talk radio legend Rush Limbaugh.
Limbaugh, after a battle with cancer, passed away last month at the age of 70.

A news release from Westwood One reported that “The Dan Bongino Show” will launch May 24 in the noon to 3 p.m. Eastern Time slot.
In a statement, Bongino said:
“I’m excited to embrace the immense power of radio to connect with my listeners live for three hours every day. This is an incredible privilege, and I pledge to honor the trailblazing work of those who came before me.”
The release added:
“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 Republican.”
Suzanne Grimes, president of Westwood One, stated that Bongino “is passionate and relatable, with a natural ability to connect with his audience. Dan has been on a meteoric rise since his podcast launched in 2019, and we look forward to watching his star continue to soar.”
This week on “Fox&Friends”, Bongino previewed the type of commentary listeners can expect when he sounded off on the Biden administration’s policy on illegal immigration.
He said:
“Who is the genius who’s sitting in a board room in Washington, D.C., somewhere, or up on Capitol Hill, saying, ‘And I’ve got a better idea. As we’re giving people money to tax it back, let’s just open the southern border in the middle of a pandemic because this is a spectacular idea. … There is nothing better than this.
Does anyone in that room, anyone, say, ‘Folks, I have a question, I’m going to raise my hand. Not only are we in the middle of a pandemic, but we have this whole national security thing we’ve been talking about where we should probably vet people coming into the country.’ And everybody is like, ‘Look at this idiot — national security, pandemic, borders — who needs any of that crap?’
We have a border. Is there a country in the history of humankind that didn’t have a border? You know what you have if you don’t have a border? You have a landmass. You have a suggestion. You don’t have a country.
Just close the border and say, ‘Hey, you want to come in? There’s the door. There’s this thing called a process.’”
Bongino’s books include “The Fight: A Secret Service Agent’s Inside Account of Security Failings and the Political Machine,” and “Spygate: The Attempted Sabotage of Donald J. Trump.”
From 2006 to 2011, Bongino was a Secret Service agent, and from 1995 to 1999, he served with the New York City Police Department.
Moreover, he ran unsuccessful campaigns for the Senate and House in Maryland in 2012 and 2014 as well as a 2016 congressional race in Florida.

The host of a very popular podcast, during his February appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference, said that conservatives should stop looking back at the 2020 election and look forward instead:
“There is no more time to sit down on our knees and cry and do this ‘victim’ stuff. All of everything else is bull. Right now the fight is all that matters.
It is up for you as evangelists for the cause to go out there and get everyone off their knees, get everyone out of bed, get everyone off the mat, stand up and get back in the fight now.
The time for feeling sorry for ourselves is done — we are right — we are on the right side of this.”
According to him, there is no shortage of battles for conservatives to fight:
“Pick a candidate in a primary — we’ve got a hell of a lot of RINOs out there. The Democrats are next, that’s in 2022, but primary season starts now — it started yesterday.”
