Podcasts > Bill Bunkley
Friday, July 17, 2026
Kyle Warren sits in for Bill Bunkley on this Friday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show. The program opens with a positive update on the two Hillsborough County deputy sheriffs shot in the line of duty and thanks to first responders.
Kyle dives into President Trump’s prime-time speech on election interference by China, declassified documents, and the importance of election integrity ahead of the midterms. He criticizes major networks for refusing to air the address live.
Other highlights:
- Caller Todd reacts passionately to the speech and current events.
- Updates on U.S. strikes in Iran and energy infrastructure damage.
- Critique of New York socialist policies under Zoran Mamdani, including claims that “evictions are violence.”
- Humorous contrast: Olive Garden requires photo ID for the Never-Ending Pasta Pass — stricter than voting in some states.
Brett Eckelberry (Managing Editor of Plugged In by Focus on the Family) joins to review summer movies including The Odyssey (Christopher Nolan), upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie, with family content considerations.
Dr. Ted Baehr (Founder/Publisher of Movie Guide) returns for in-depth discussion on The Odyssey, Toy Story 5 (already over $800 million), social media fatigue, and a tribute to the late actor Sam Neill.
