Curt Schilling starts radio show to stop 'career criminal' Hillary Clinton

Since he was fired from ESPN six months ago for sharing an anti-transgender Facebook post, ex-Red Sox ace Curt Schilling has had a lot of free time. And he’s spent that free time loudly supporting republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, calling into radio shows to argue with people, and plotting his 2018 Massachusetts senatorial campaign. But soon Schilling won’t have as much free time to play with.

Conservative website Breitbart has hired Schilling to do a daily online radio show called “Whatever It Takes,” which will focus heavily on listener call-ins and feature Schilling’s commentary on a wide range of issues. From the Breitbart press release, it doesn’t sound like sports is high on the list.

The caller-intensive show will feature Schilling’s unfiltered and insightful commentary on a mix of topics ranging from politics and culture to current affairs and perhaps some sports.

Schilling and his emphatically conservative views will fit right in at Breitbart, which he considers to be “the last bastion of actual journalism.” In the press release, Schilling seems ready for a fight.

“…This is the most important election of our lifetimes and under no circumstances can we allow a career criminal to be put in the Oval Office.”

“…I am proud to be a part of a team that will continue to point out the very thing that’s ruining this country: liberal, progressive, socialist agenda driven by the elite globalist connected to American politics and the Clinton family.”

Considering the direction the presidential election seems to be going, he’ll have plenty to talk about in the future. If the latest polls haven’t clued him in, the attendance at Schilling’s very own Trump rally probably did.

The rally probably didn’t turn out the way Schilling hoped it would. Though with just 12 people, it’s definitely more of a meeting than a rally. Yeah, Schilling probably won’t mention that on “Whatever It Takes,” which premieres on Tuesday, Oct. 25 at 9 a.m. ET.
