Top-rated conservative podcaster and former Fox News star Dan Bongino shared some heart-wrenching news with his fans during his show on Friday.

Bongino opened his show by informing listeners and viewers he would be ending it early after his mother’s unexpected passing.

“Folks, I’m going to end the show early today. I’m going to tell you what happened last night because I’m having a bit of a rough time, as you can tell. I’m going to try to get through this unexpectedly. She fell down a flight of stairs. And I found out at about 4:43 in the morning,” Bongino said.
