Bill Bunkley returns from a family retreat in the Smoky Mountains on this Friday edition, reflecting on the anniversary of his brother Walter G. “Buzz” Bunkley’s home-going and the state of the nation just days before the midterm elections.

He praises the Tampa Bay Rays for a classy run that ended against the Milwaukee Brewers in the World Series, highlighting manager Kevin Cash and the strong Christian character on both teams.

The core of the show is an urgent call to vote on Tuesday: Bill stresses the high stakes for America’s future as a constitutional republic, urges theologically sound Christians and conservatives to turn out based on values and issues (not personalities), and shares Elon Musk’s warnings about potential long-term Democratic control. He also covers a major stock market sell-off that wiped out $1.5 trillion in value.

Caller Todd joins with a passionate prayer and encouragement to vote.

Dr. Ted Baehr (Movie Guide) offers a deeper look behind the scenes at the craft of successful filmmaking—covering jeopardy, structure, plot points, marketing, and typecasting—while encouraging support for the ministry.

Critical Midterm Call to Vote, Rays Fall Short & Movie Guide on Filmmaking Craft

On this Thursday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, Kyle Warren sits in for Bill Bunkley and delivers a wide-ranging briefing focused on high-stakes political developments just five days before the November 3 midterms. He opens with the incomplete Israeli election results (93.8% counted), where Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud holds roughly 53 seats and Gadi Eisenkot’s party about 48, with Arab parties at 19—leaving no clear path to a 61-seat Knesset majority and raising the possibility of prolonged coalition talks, a Netanyahu-Eisenkot deal, or even new elections while Netanyahu continues as caretaker prime minister. Warren stresses the importance of “no daylight” between the U.S. and Israel and warns that Democratic control of Congress after the midterms could alter that relationship. He then turns to the Alaska Senate race controversy involving an alleged fake “Dan Sullivan” candidate, reports linking Mary Peltola’s campaign, and the broader implications for election integrity. A major segment examines whether Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) members-elect could be blocked from taking the House oath if their platform calls for abolishing the Senate, packing the Supreme Court, or replacing the Constitution, citing Rep. Keith Self’s comments on the House’s duty to enforce good-faith oaths. Warren also covers new revelations that the Obama administration’s investigation into Ilhan Omar’s alleged 2009 marriage-to-brother immigration fraud began in 2016 and was later closed, now resurfacing amid a fresh federal probe, plus skepticism toward Iranian “peace” overtures, a Pinellas County commission meeting disruption involving a recorded Islamic call to prayer, an Ebola outbreak update from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a listener praise report after a successful cardiac procedure, and a closing note on the reported death of actor Patrick Stewart. Throughout, Warren urges strong turnout to “build and maintain the firewall,” shares Romans 15:13 on hope and peace, and takes energetic calls emphasizing faith, constitutional fidelity, and rejecting what he describes as destabilizing left-wing agendas.

Israel Election Stalemate, Alaska’s Fake Candidate Scandal, DSA Oath Challenges & Midterm Firewall Push – Kyle Warren Hosts The Bill Bunkley Show

On this Wednesday, October 28, 2026 edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, Kyle Warren sits in for Bill and opens with an urgent call to action: only six days remain until the midterms. He stresses the need for strong turnout to keep the country on its current course, arguing that despite frustrations over the war, fuel prices and other issues, the alternative is far worse. Warren highlights President Trump and Vice President JD Vance’s intensive rally schedule, critiques Democratic figures including Abdul El-Sayed, Angie Nixon and Hakeem Jeffries, and warns against complacency. He offers a hopeful note on the Tampa Bay Rays, who forced a longer World Series by winning Game 4 in extra innings. The show turns somber with news of a deadly high-speed train collision in Spain that has claimed at least 68 lives, with Americans among the injured; Warren calls for prayers for victims, responders and investigators while noting no confirmed terrorism link. Attention shifts to Israel’s first post-October 7 election, where Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud appears to hold an edge but lacks a clear majority, raising questions about coalition talks, continuity with the Trump administration, and the ongoing Iran threat. Warren expresses deep skepticism toward Iran’s “seven-day plan” and diplomatic overtures, arguing the IRGC remains the core problem and that decisive action may follow the midterms. Domestic stories include the Federal Reserve holding interest rates steady, a detailed exposé on Alaska Democrats’ alleged “ballot composition project” to field a second Dan Sullivan against the Republican senator (echoing the movie The Distinguished Gentleman), severe high tides and flooding along Southern California beaches driven by a Kelvin wave and full moon, and the California governor’s race in which Steve Hilton is framed as a long-shot hope against one-party dominance. Warren also discusses new Treasury rules aimed at limiting large institutional investors from buying single-family homes, Florida’s Amendment 3, and pointed criticisms of progressive candidates’ evasive answers on ideology, Cuba and related issues. He closes with a Bible verse from Isaiah 41:10, a reflection on the anniversary of the Statue of Liberty’s dedication, and a passionate defense of liberty over pure democracy, urging listeners to vote and hold fast.

Six Days to the Midterms: Trump Rallies, Israel Votes, Spain Train Tragedy, Alaska Ballot Scheme & Liberty’s Call

On this Tuesday, October 27, 2026 edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, Kyle Warren sits in for Bill and opens with the seven-day countdown to the U.S. midterms while President Trump lands in Corpus Christi, Texas for a high-energy rally. Trump highlights the arrival of a Venezuelan oil tanker carrying one million barrels at zero cost to American taxpayers, credits the U.S. military for the rapid victory that secured access to the world’s largest oil reserves, and urges support for Attorney General Ken Paxton and Senator Ted Cruz. The program also tracks Israel’s closely contested election, where Benjamin Netanyahu faces former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot amid reports of a possible hung Knesset, half a million first-time young voters, and lingering questions about intelligence failures surrounding the October 7 attacks. Kyle examines the latest developments in the Ilhan Omar immigration investigation—including Hassan Piker’s “paperwork problem” defense and a letter from more than 170 House Democrats demanding the DOJ drop the probe—plus a raid on a Southern California property linked to Eric Swalwell. Callers from Sarasota and Colorado stress that the midterms are about policies, not personalities, and that Western civilization itself is on the ballot. The hour also features a powerful reading of Romans 8:37-39, a “This Day in History” tribute to Theodore Roosevelt’s birthday, Mike Waltz’s fiery confrontation with Cuba’s diplomat at the UN, and discussion of Florida’s Amendment 3 on property taxes.
