Bill Bunkley opens this Friday pre-Labor Day edition with breaking news from Plymouth, Massachusetts: The Lindsay Clancy murder trial (involving the deaths of her three children) has ended in a mistrial after a hung jury with one holdout juror. Bill discusses the emotional case, the role of postpartum mental health claims, the defense’s reaction, and the likelihood of a retrial.

The show also highlights excellent economic news: The U.S. added 162,000 jobs last month (far exceeding expectations) with unemployment holding steady at 4.1%. Bill connects this to Labor Day celebrations and policies supporting American manufacturing, workers, and trade.

Dr. Ted Baehr (Movie Guide) joins for his weekly segment, sharing insights from a recent lunch with Pat Boone, reviews of The Brink of War (Reagan-Gorbachev 1986 summit) and Beyond Belief, an article about an influencer who faked Christianity only to find genuine faith, and a remembrance of voice actor Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime and Eeyore).

Lindsay Clancy Mistrial, Strong Jobs Report for Labor Day & Movie Guide Reviews

On this September 3, 2026 edition of The Briefing, Bill Bunkley opens with the tragic news of a private plane crash near U.S. 301 and Massillon Drive in Hillsborough County that killed both people on board after the aircraft took off from Tampa Executive Airport and went down fully engulfed in flames. He then covers Hillsborough County Schools’ expansion of Halo smart sensors—capable of detecting vapor from tobacco, marijuana and other products plus loud sounds associated with fights—into middle and K-8 campuses as a response to ongoing student vaping and safety concerns. The program turns to the sixth day of jury deliberations in the Lindsey Clancy murder trial, where a note from jurors prompted the judge to re-instruct on reasonable doubt; defense counsel later reported one juror was refusing to follow the law, leading to tense arguments over possible removal and the risk of mistrial while the panel (nine women, three men) continued deliberating postpartum-psychosis claims. Guest Charles Chris Meyer discusses his new book The Power to Overcome: How to Triumph in Troubled Times, unpacking Jesus’ seven promises to “him that overcometh” in Revelation, the need for transformation over mere information, and practical victory over the world, the flesh and the devil. Bunkley also reflects on the apparent suicide of former NFL cornerback Alfonso Smith Jr., who left a final social-media post describing childhood sexual abuse, perceived demonic possession and deep self-loathing; reports the abrupt, unexplained departure of Maria Bartiromo from Fox Business and Fox News after more than twelve years (with immediate program renamings and host rotations); and closes with Governor Ron DeSantis weighing in on whether Tiger Woods—whose Florida driver’s license was suspended for ten years—should still be allowed to operate a golf cart on a course.

Hillsborough Plane Crash Claims Two Lives, Clancy Jury Drama, Expanding School Vape Detectors, “The Power to Overcome,” NFL Player’s Tragic Death & Maria Bartiromo’s Sudden Fox Exit

On this Wednesday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show / The Briefing, host Bill Bunkley opens with a personal health update, detailing his second root canal in 30 days and upcoming radiation treatments at Moffitt Cancer Center for basal cell carcinoma linked to his history of AML leukemia, bone marrow transplant, and open-heart surgery. He then covers the previous night’s Republican “Kumbaya” unity rally in Tampa led by Governor Ron DeSantis, who formally endorsed Byron Donalds for governor along with other statewide candidates, skillfully handled hecklers, and projected party cohesion. The centerpiece is an in-depth interview with author Jack Marino Chen about her new book Ensnared: Overcoming the Darkness of the New Age and Occult with the Light of God’s Truth. Chen shares her harrowing journey from childhood sexual abuse and family dysfunction into drugs, self-harm, Ouija boards, New Age practices, hermeticism, ritual magic, and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn before her dramatic salvation through Jesus Christ, warning listeners about the gradual deception of occult practices, astrology, crystals, manifestation, tarot, and more. Additional segments include the ICE seizure of more than 22,000 ancient artifacts in Tampa, Trump’s near-sweep of endorsements for Florida congressional candidates (including Mike Beltran and Jim Swartzell), reflections on Tiger Woods’ court plea and media coverage, Florida’s multi-month tax-free holiday on outdoor gear, firearms and ammunition, and a discussion of Flock license-plate cameras versus privacy concerns raised by Sheriff Grady Judd.

On this September 1, 2026 episode of The Bill Bunkley Show / The Briefing, host Bill Bunkley opens with escalating Middle East tensions as the United States conducts significant strikes on Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz in response to failed attempts to mine the waterway and missile attacks on a U.S. base in Jordan. Drawing from President Trump’s Truth Social posts and comments from Sen. John Kennedy, Bunkley details the military actions, rising oil prices, reports of Iranian Republican Guard leaders fleeing, Russian involvement under Vladimir Putin, and extended deployments for units such as the 82nd Airborne. He then shifts to weather, tracking Tropical Storm Eduardo as it makes landfall near the Texas-Louisiana border with heavy rain, flooding risks, and potential for further strengthening, offering practical hurricane-preparedness reminders for Florida listeners. Privacy concerns take center stage with Florida DOT’s revocation of all statewide permits for Flock license-plate-reader cameras following reports of misuse by some law-enforcement personnel; Bunkley strongly supports police overall while calling for accountability and linking broader surveillance trends to biblical end-times prophecy and the erosion of personal freedoms. Additional segments cover the limited launch of fully autonomous Waymo robotaxis in parts of Tampa, the push by Florida Republican leaders (including Byron Donalds, Ashley Moody, and Rick Scott) to locate the new U.S. Space Academy on Florida’s Space Coast following President Trump’s executive order, the upcoming Florida gubernatorial race and property-tax reform efforts, the critical importance of the 2026 midterms amid a rising socialist wing in the Democratic Party, and sharp criticism of Congress for repeated short-term budget extensions, the national debt, Social Security mismanagement, and failure to pass voter-ID measures such as the SAFE Act. Bunkley closes with personal reflections on faith, health challenges, and the need for conservatives and people of faith to stay engaged.
