On this special Thanksgiving Eve edition of The Briefing, Bill Bunkley reflects on the deep roots of America’s Thanksgiving tradition — even in the darkest hours of war. Hear powerful presidential Thanksgiving proclamations from George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Calvin Coolidge, FDR, JFK, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush that call the nation to gratitude, repentance, and dependence on Almighty God. Bill also shares personal memories, encourages safe holiday travel, highlights Trail Life USA and Wreaths Across America, and celebrates the dismissal of the Georgia election-interference case against President Trump. Tragically, the program is overshadowed by breaking news out of Washington, D.C.: two West Virginia National Guard members are shot and killed just blocks from the White House. Bill leads in prayer for the fallen troops, their families, and our nation. A sobering, yet hope-filled reminder that even in trial and loss, Americans have always been called to give thanks to the God who remains our refuge and strength. #Thanksgiving #Thanksgiving2025 #PresidentialThanksgiving #GeorgeWashington #AbrahamLincoln #RonaldReagan #GeorgeWBush #Gratitude #FaithAndFreedom #WartimeThanksgiving #NationalGuard #DCSHOOTING #WreathsAcrossAmerica #TrailLifeUSA #ChristianPodcast #BillBunkleyShow #TheBriefing #FaithTalk #SalemRadio

In this urgent Tuesday briefing from Tampa studios, host Bill Bunkley—fresh off a postponed open-heart surgery (now set for Thursday)—teams up with overnight host Kyle Warren to dissect breaking charges against 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, the alleged assassin of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. Fresh from Utah DA Jeff Gray’s press conference, the duo unpacks a seven-count indictment (aggravated murder, firearm discharge, obstruction, witness tampering, and a child-presence enhancement) tied to political motive. Real-time texts to Robinson’s transgender roommate/lover reveal chilling planning (“I have an opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk”), post-act evasion, and attempts to delete evidence. Bill walks listeners through the family’s gut-wrenching discovery—mom spotting her son on TV, dad confirming via his grandfather’s gifted rifle—culminating in a voluntary surrender aided by a retired-deputy family friend. FBI hints at broader conspiracy (20+ in a chat group) remain uncharged. The hour pivots to societal fallout: COVID-era isolation fueling violent-video-game addiction, dopamine-driven radicalization, and a shocking barber-shop anecdote of an 80-something client casually endorsing assassination. Callers weigh in on parental duty, perceived “hate,” and investigative transparency. A late-segment prayer for the shooter’s Mormon family and a million-dollar reward redirected to Kirk’s widow close the show, alongside Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd’s open-carry primer post-appellate ruling.

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.

In a somber and heartfelt episode of The Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley leads a moving tribute to conservative icon Charlie Kirk, assassinated just yesterday afternoon on a Utah college campus. With the killer still at large, the show honors Kirk's extraordinary legacy as a fearless advocate for faith, freedom, and free speech. Bunkley reflects on Kirk’s transformative impact—awakening a generation of young college students, mobilizing millions through Turning Point USA, and inspiring a global surge in conservative activism and spiritual revival. Guests and callers share personal stories of Kirk’s courage, intellectual brilliance, and joyful warrior spirit, while emphasizing his role in confronting campus radicalism and restoring truth in public discourse. Amid grief and outrage, the episode calls for unity, prayer, and continued boldness in defending biblical and constitutional values.

In this timely episode of The Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley delivers a multifaceted briefing amid escalating global and domestic tensions. He analyzes the intensifying Russia-Ukraine war, highlighting recent Russian advances in Donetsk (e.g., near Pokrovsk and Kupiansk), Ukrainian drone strikes on Moscow refineries and oil terminals, stalled ceasefire talks post-Alaska summit, and Kremlin rhetoric rejecting Trump's proposals while pushing for a "final solution" favoring Moscow. Locally, Bunkley celebrates Florida's transformation into an open-carry state after a September 2025 appeals court ruling (McDaniels v. State) struck down the 40-year ban as unconstitutional under Bruen, with AG James Uthmeier confirming non-enforcement—while cautioning on restrictions (e.g., schools, bars) and quoting Sheriff Grady Judd on safe, legal carry. The emotional core: a raw tribute to conservative activist Charlie Kirk, shot in the neck during a Q&A at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025, and who tragically passed away hours later. With the suspect still at large (manhunt ongoing, $100K FBI reward), Bunkley honors Kirk's legacy as a "happy warrior" mobilizing Gen Z against campus wokeness, sparking global vigils and 37,000+ Turning Point chapter requests, and influencing Trump's election—framing his death as a catalyst for spiritual revival and renewed free-speech advocacy.

In this urgent and somber episode of The Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley provides live coverage and analysis of the devastating mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church and School in Minneapolis on October 28, 2025, where 23-year-old gunman Robin Westman opened fire through windows during a morning Mass, killing two children (ages 8 and 10) and injuring 18 others (mostly young students). Bunkley airs Fox News' real-time press conference with Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara, Mayor Jacob Frey, and federal officials (including FBI Director Kash Patel), detailing the shooter's manifesto expressing "hate toward almost every group" and an obsession with "killing children," 120 shell casings recovered, search warrants yielding electronic evidence, and the attack's classification as domestic terrorism and a hate crime targeting Catholics. Amid national outrage—President Trump orders flags at half-staff, and calls mount for assault weapon bans—Bunkley honors victims with survivor stories (e.g., 11-year-old Chloe Francoual's trauma) and vigils, urging prayer for affected families and safer schools. The show rounds out with local news (Florida's open-carry ruling) and world updates (Russia's Donetsk advances, Hurricane Melissa's Cat 5 intensification).
