    Popular conservative pundit Dan Bongino reacted with shock upon learning that Fox News parted ways with top-rated host Tucker Carlson.

    "I'm stunned. I don't even know what to say right now," Bongino, who himself recently split with Fox News, said as his podcast, "The Dan Bongino Show," was airing live on Monday.

    Moments earlier, Bongino said he had "actual goosebumps" after learning the news and receiving multiple text messages from people following Carlson's departure.

    In a move that sent shockwaves through the media sphere, Fox News announced on Monday that the network and Carlson "agreed to part ways," and the host's last show was Friday.

    "We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor," Fox News said in a statement, adding that "Fox News Tonight" will air live at 8 p.m. ET as an interim show helmed by "rotating" network personalities until a new host is named.

    Notably, Carlson ended his last show by telling viewers he would be back on Monday. As of press time, Carlson has yet to comment on his situation.

    Sources told The Los Angeles Times that the decision to fire Carlson and his producer Justin Wells came from Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch and that the exit is related to a discrimination lawsuit filed by former network producer Abby Grossberg.

    Carlson leaves Fox News days after Bongino announced his exit from the network. Like Carlson, Bongino had a show on Fox's flagship network and another on its subscription-based Fox Nation.

    Upon sharing the development about his time ending at the network, Bongino assured his listeners that there was "no acrimony" between himself and Fox, but rather the two sides "just couldn't come to terms on an extension. That's really it."

    On Monday, while reacting to Carlson's exit from Fox News, Bongino said he had "no inside knowledge" about the situation surrounding his former colleague.

    "I don't even care to speculate about what happened. But I suspect Tucker Carlson will be getting a lot of offers from a lot of people," Bongino said.

Considering how abjectly corrupt and civilly abusive the Left has become regarding the corrosive effect of their elected leaders; their entrenched and ruling bureaucracy; employing their failed Education Industry as Indoctrinators; their collusive private sector operators, such as the terminally discredited Legacy Media and Big Tech censorship of Free Speech: What will be the best course forward for hardworking Middle Americans, including the Patriot Class?

  Withdraw from society, go underground and plan for a resurgence when it is feasible to do so.

  Work within the confines of better policy by the People's government, once good sense and sanity is restored in the electorate at large, to achieve such.

  Are you a crazy, nut-job Insurrectionist? Everything is perfect within our plan to achieve our intended goals for the Socialist Left.

  Secession to form a true Constitutional Republic.
