7:07Now PlayingBruce Bond quit his job after being told he couldn’t criticize Trump on air. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola, the hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Pennsylvania radio host Bruce Bond just quit after being asked by his station bosses not to slam Donald Trump on-air.
“I stood up — and I’m out of a job,” the 58-year-old WTPA-FM jock told the Daily News. “Nothing like this has happened before.”
We reached out to Bond to talk about the perils of speaking up in the highly charged age of Trump — a “different climate,” as he put it. What follows is the transcript of that interview, edited for clarity and condensed for space:
Daily News: Do you consider yourself a shock jock who aims to stir up discontent?
