Some of Donald Trump’s most influential champions dominate a media terrain that attracts little attention from their opponents. eosnos profiles the commentator Dan Bongino, who draws an estimated 8.5 million radio listeners a week.

In the stories that Bongino reveals about himself, there are some of the usual private frequencies: status, grit, yearning, humiliation. But nothing rings louder than his awareness of fear—how it arises and subsides, what it does to the body and the mind. In his punditry, Bongino talks about fear all the time. “Fear has always been the Democrats’ coin of the realm,” he told podcast listeners in June.

In 1995, he entered a cadet program for aspiring police officers, while studying psychology at Queens College. He became a cop, and also earned a master’s degree in psychology. Soon, though, he was craving “something bigger.” In 1999, he entered the U.S. Secret Service, and when Hillary Clinton ran for the Senate that year Bongino was assigned to help protect her. He received, as he put it later, “a Ph.D.-level course in campaign management.

By then, Bongino had started paying attention to the cable-news channels that played constantly in the office. He asked a colleague, “What do you listen to on the way home, the Sports Junkies?” The colleague said, “No, I listen to this guy Mark Levin.” Bongino began tuning in and was captivated. “I was, like, ‘Man, this guy’s speaking my language. He’s as furious about things as I am.’ ”

Bonkers Danno Bongino!

Bingo Bongo = New Rush Limburger

Is he real!!!

And ?

You guys bitch about the strangest things and are totally blind to the hypocrisy You think Dems haven't profited, politically or financially, off the backs of Dem presidents? Hillary Clinton comes to mind A big and resounding SO WHAT?

Part of 45s gang and making millions . Please deport Him.

He can return to his basement.

All the media profited from trump. Ya'll never stop talking about him lmao.

mehdirhasan

mehdirhasan I have never heard of this person in my life. It is incredible how siloed our society has become. I'm sure Bongino's listeners have never heard of 'facts' or 'evidence' or 'honesty' either.

mehdirhasan JoeNBC SykesCharlie Timodc

mehdirhasan Careful, he doesn’t like being called a grifter! 🙋🏾‍♂️🛡badgeofhonor

mehdirhasan Such poetic justice that Bongino probably draws more listeners than New Yorker, CNN and MSNBC combined. Who needs ten different media companies to deliver the exact same message? And it’s all BlueAnon nonsense anyway.

mehdirhasan Okay, but, counterpoint, I don’t want to read anything about Dan Bongino.

Who?

Bongo is a classic class of someone who got beat and now takes out his anger on innocent ppl just because they don't agree with his views. He found the same quality in Trump. He will always be a bitter,angry bully. When Trump goes to prison what will he do? Lose it mentally?

Trump is dead they just haven't buried him yet!

Eww..this Stephen from django dingbat

He's not furious, he's dancing for dollars. It's so over the top every time I have the misfortune of hearing his voice.

Does America really want an out of control nutter benefiting from office whilst working and loving Americans brutalised by the nutter's beliefs!

mehdirhasan Bingo bongo

mehdirhasan

So you're mad at him for being consistent with his craft? Good for him. He wasn't a loser and was doing something productive.

Hoping Trump returns to power is win-win. Either your guy wins, or you don’t have Trump as president (which is also a win)

mehdirhasan Oingo Boingo Whacko. How do you spell, “Cult”?

mehdirhasan Lol. Not gonna happen.

mehdirhasan God help us all!!!

mehdirhasan I’m not gonna read that trash.

You guys made great profit too buy posting about Trump every 10 seconds

That would be a crime.

You’re not helping.

Bongo has no power, not really.

Go, Dan Bongino! Telling it like it is!

Make it happen Dan!!

It’s funny how all you can do is try to tear someone else like Bongino and Trump down instead of brag about any “accomplishments” the democrats have made in the past 1.5 years

Can't make it without him?

Proposal: Keep talking about 'America First', not a new idea but one that Charles Lindbergh used and so did KKK, David Duke. KKK recruitment must have gone up 1000% for Trump.

Guests include

Never even heard of this guy.

dbongino flattering picture 😬

Its all about the $$$

when life gives you lemons, you put them in a blender trying to make lemonade

Pic makes him look just like the evil cartoon villain he is

This is the thing about all those disingenuous “free speech” claims on the right re: deplatforming. It’s not about the marketplace of ideas, but a free storefront for their grift. Without social media/YouTube, etc., they can’t build and bilk an audience.

🤮

Math is craziest thing!

Well he should focus on keeping TFG out of the Big House, because that’s where he is headed.

And you are helping him

Why is the media still focused on trump? Is that the only way you can make money? Why not talk about current news? You know the president currently in office and his current policies? Oh right no one likes him or his policies right now lol. So ya gota fall back to the old shtick

Let’s see how much he knew in advance of the Sedition/Insurrection events. Let’s see those phone/text details from 11/4/20 thru 1/20/21. He knew.

rigging it

Literally never heard of the guy until he got banned from YouTube.

The appeal of Bingobongo is baffling

Follow the money. Dude looks crooked as helllllllllllo operator, get me Vlad on the line.

Psycho

Why would anyone want Trump to return to power? If they wanted another Republican candidate, fine, but why Trump?

Grifting is good for UnfilteredOnFox. Disinformation pays well for those without principles nor character.

Biden is returning Trump to power

Half of the vaccines that we Brazilians have taken so far are from PFIZER. If it weren't for President Trump's POLITICAL STUBBORNNESSS that it & other vaccines be made in the shortest possible time, maybe my Mother, Nancy Pelosi, Liz Cheney & Ann Coulter would no longer be alive.

Yeah...good luck with that

Are you going to be okay ?

bannerite Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is A form of FAR-RIGHT AUTHORITARIANISM, ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, as well as strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.

If there is any justice in America, Trump will be in prison before 2024. Inciting an insurrection against the government of the United States has to be a crime!

just another right-wing grifter, albeit one with more serious anger issues than most.

What a waste of time and energy.

Bongino is a notorious self promotor, who believes you have to stretch the truth to get what you want; which is why he left the NYPD and the Secret Service.

Oh Bongo. 🤷‍♀️

Doesn’t that just mean he was so weak he was forced from office ? Weird .

why even give him space in your mag...i mean its reporting like this that keeps him and his like in the spotlight. you guys are funny.

I don't know for you, but the saddening truth is that ever since a few Lousies impostures stole my names, and identifications, nothing works well anymore... Only the Filth, the shit Lousies, continue to plunder, destroy, and like what is happening... And so the Filth continues...

2021 is a sad year

Their tinfoil lined maga hats are on too tight and cutting off blood flow to their little cultist brains.

Wishing you a very happy New Year's Eve with your family and loved ones

Dan believes that the reason you don't see elephants hiding in trees is because they're really good at it. What a tool.

Can't argue with that logic 😉

Another way to tell the New Yorker is from New York. They beat old news to death only to resurrect it and beat it once again😎

There are several reasons to not vote for Trump but the best one is not giving liberals what they clearly want.

And this is the inherent danger of religion, right here. Something doesn't have to be proven or even demonstrable to be unquestionably true.

Uh, you misspelled “liar”.

'the lack of evidence of a teapot orbiting Mars means there's definitely a teapot orbiting Mars'

I am so tired of these dishonest manipulators getting this kind of coverage. It is what they hunger for and use to keep their followers in line. They have as much substance as a social media influencer who gains fame for showing folks how to tuck in a t-shirt.

🤦🏻‍♂️

The people who argue that government is so inept that it shouldn’t run anything, are also saying that the election fraud was so well orchestrated that no evidence was found. Ok 👌

Which means that, as true Patriots, they know they cannot legally vote for him in 2024, since he was already elected 2x, right?

BEWARE

eosnos He doesn’t want to be, it just comes naturally

eosnos If you have to tell people you’re a big shot, you’re not.

eosnos X GENDER, read 'The clock of life' by Cesare di Provenza

eosnos You just know that guy has an innie for a penis and testicles like rabbit pellets. OverCompensation

eosnos

eosnos

eosnos One if the few New Yorker pieces I could not slog my way through. He's POS that is frightening popular. There, saved you a click.

eosnos When so much is based on lies and hate ~ so much to be proud of Dan…SenateGOP HouseGOP

eosnos 8.9M followers is more than 2.3M followers

eosnos Christian conservative terrorism is all about power and control, not about being correct. They do not care if they are wrong, they just yell louder. This is why we still have willfully unvaccinated people ruining emergency Healthcare.

eosnos I can't stand this guy. He may not want to be an a-hole, but he definitely is.

eosnos The voice of treason. I can’t believe this is “free speech” Can’t wait to see how half the country reacts when a radical terrorist 25% kills another 25% That’s where this is heading and the media and GOP are pushing for it hard. No Trump, no Kkk, no Fascist USA!

eosnos DumbFascism Fascism101 there is no ideology or principle, just beating your perceived enemy into a bloody pulp and then celebrating.

eosnos Too bad his audience is the Let's Go Brandon crowd

eosnos (so they keep saying, but are those numbers real or are they like the fake book sales and the juiced Facebook stats?)

eosnos Then again, one Kardashian has more footprints than these two combined. Which is to say, his statement is really about the deplorable state of the world

eosnos The big business of destroying America. What a freakin’ hero.

eosnos This inauthentic guy does not believe in a point where we must halt in God’s name and for humanity’s sake. He is simply an anti-hero since that is so fashionable today. The time comes when everyone must choose to be a genuine authentic human and decide for that. This guy blew it.

eosnos We're in for a bit of a rev with lunatics like this having a pulpit.

eosnos Bongino the person that blocks you if you drop facts on his bullsh*t.😆

eosnos I don’t want to be an asshole but…he can’t help it

eosnos Just want to say I respect how he is open honest and outspoken. He knows how to grab attention. Wish this was a better drawing, because he is way more handsome than this. :) dbongino

eosnos Wait, Bongino can write Probably does his best work with those extra thick crayons.

He’s dangerous

stay a good man the defends checks and balances not tyrants

Fear, hate and loathing. It’s not journalism. It’s propaganda. lies.

My stomach was in knots by the time I finished reading this article. The sad thing is that, clearly, these people are in it for the money and are smart enough to know how destructive the methods they are using to make this money are. How do they look themselves in the mirror?

Greed and corruption have metastasized. This country (and the world) has a cancer. I worry about what has to be done to purge it, in light of early 20th century history. Praying we don't have to go down that path again.

DeshadaRenada His audience is the exact same audience that laps up every other RWNJ, and there weren't enough of them for Trump to win in 2020.

Dan is like every other MAGA chancer, locking himself to a more successful grifter, riding Trump's coat tails to generate a sub-Joe Rogan celebrity for himself.

He emerged because people had to find another source of credible news. Which doesn't exist in Liberals circles.

Dan Bonergina I like to call him

This is NOT what I come to the New Yorker to read.

It's important that professional information corporations maintain the power to gatekeeper what information the masses have access to

So why are you giving him more oxygen?

I know people who eat this shit up. And he's hoping for a 'revolution' even though each date passes without his hoped for big change.

May he stop the campaign for DT🤲🏻

harrisonjaime JamesCarville

You would figure the FBI has eyes on a former Secret Service agent? One can only hope.

Please stop giving these people any airtime. Surely Bongino was behind the plot

Talk about his ads. Or lack of them. cc: CheckMyAdsHQ

BonginoTheClown

The same strategy will be adopted.

nice of you to help him out

Rollercoaster of a headline

eosnos Haters loving hate!

eosnos 'The Secret Service agent turned [monetizing] radio host' is 'furious' at liberals? All of the radicalized right is 'furious' 24/7—attack and scare mode is very effective and the media laps it up, because guess who else is indefatigably monetizing and clickbaiting?

eosnos Dan is a grifter who got on the grift train. His incessant pouting and ability to put money before Americans makes him popular. Most of us see right through it.

eosnos Dorn Bongina is a mouthbreathing dipshjt

eosnos newyorker rings the Pavlovian bell for its bigoted readers.

eosnos DAN BON-GINO
