Dan Bongino Cancer Battle and Recovery 

Dan Bongino publicly disclosed on September 23, 2020, that doctors had discovered a seven-centimeter tumor in his throat. At that time, it was uncertain whether the tumor was malignant or benign. He planned to travel to New York for more comprehensive evaluations on September 25.

Bongino faced criticism from former Secret Service colleagues over his use of his experience in his political endeavors and claims of overhearing confidential information in the Obama White House. He maintained that his book was not a tell-all and contained no confidential details, and he openly rejected Birtherism, the unfounded claim that President Obama was not born in the United States.  

In 2016, Dan published a second book, "The Fight," giving an insider perspective on security failings and the political landscape.  

Media Career  

Dan Bongino's media presence includes hosting and guest hosting stints on various radio shows and appearances on Fox News and conspiracy-focused platforms like InfoWars. He has supported and written about the Spygate conspiracy theory, alleging illegal surveillance of Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.  

In late 2019, Bongino launched the Bongino Report website as a conservative alternative to the Drudge Report. Politico noted in 2020 that Bongino's Facebook posts were among the most shared on the platform. However, The New York Times identified him as a significant source of election misinformation that year. 

Following the Capitol riots, Twitter temporarily suspended his account for policy violations. In 2021, Cumulus Media tapped Dan to fill the slot vacated by The Rush Limbaugh Show, and Fox News announced his new weekend show, "Unfiltered With Dan Bongino." 

YouTube permanently banned Bongino in 2022 for violating its policies. In late 2022, he announced his departure from his Cumulus radio show, with the phase-out starting in mid-2023. By April 2023, he also parted ways with Fox News.  

Stance on COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates  

In 2021, Dan Bongino, who was vaccinated, publicly opposed corporate vaccine mandates, challenging his employer, Cumulus Media, to rescind their mandate or lose him. He briefly left the airwaves to negotiate, starting a fund for fired Cumulus employees.  

Despite Bongino stance, a talk radio historian saw little likelihood of a split between Bongino and Cumulus, considering the investments made in his show.  

Investment Ventures  

Dan Bongino disclosed in June 2020 his acquisition of an ownership stake in Parler, a social media platform favored by Trump supporters and conservative audiences.
