Kyle Warren sits in for Bill Bunkley on this Friday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show. The program opens with strong commentary on the guilty plea by the shooter of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, emphasizing the federal prosecutor’s statement: “There can be no celebrity in assassination.” Kyle rejects attempts to romanticize or justify the murder, including far-left claims of “social murder.”
Other topics include:
- Escalating economic sanctions on Iran (“Operation Economic Fury”)
- Primary election results and the importance of Thanksgiving
- Caller concerns about the Iran conflict, domestic economy, and midterms
- New White House data showing the largest year-to-year drop in violent crime
Evy Baer Carroll (Movie Guide) joins for reviews of The Brink of War (Reagan-Gorbachev Reykjavik summit), Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie, the latest Spider-Man film, growing faith-based content, a Jonathan Roumie-narrated immersive experience, and Spotify’s new AI artist labeling.
The show closes with a powerful reflection on American exceptionalism, featuring comments from Bishop Earl Walker Jackson, great-grandson of slaves, who rejects anti-American narratives at the Smithsonian.
