In this unexpected return episode of The Bill Bunkley Show (recorded September 15), host Bill Bunkley shares the emotional rollercoaster of his open-heart surgery being postponed at the last minute due to his surgeon handling an emergency lung transplant. Rescheduled for September 18, Bunkley frames the delay as providential, allowing him to address the recent assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Co-hosting with Kyle Warren (from America's Third Watch), they reflect on Kirk's legacy as a "joyful warrior" who mobilized Gen Z conservatives, sparked a potential global spiritual revival, and influenced key Trump administration figures like VP J.D. Vance. The show features clips from Vance hosting Kirk's show, Speaker Mike Johnson at a Kennedy Center vigil, and others, emphasizing Kirk's role in restoring free speech, combating campus wokeness, and exposing societal hate. Callers express grief, call for non-violent responses, and highlight Kirk's irreplaceable impact, while Bunkley prays for awakening amid rising anti-Christian and anti-conservative extremism.
