Bill Bunkley opens this Friday edition reflecting on the midterm election results and a surprisingly strong jobs report: the economy added 165,000 jobs in October (far above the 65,000 expected), with significant upward revisions for prior months and the unemployment rate at 4.1%. He argues the Trump economy is booming and that achievements outweigh mistakes, while criticizing voters who focused on personality over policy.

White House news: Chief of Staff Suzy Wiles is resigning, with Stephen Miller stepping into the role amid a more confrontational landscape with Democrats controlling Congress.

Caller Todd weighs in on the election, Florida results, Iran strategy, and future Republican leadership. Bill also notes James Carville calling Ron DeSantis the Republican “winner” of the midterms.

In a somber segment, federal authorities arrest Thomas Markle (Meghan Markle’s father) in Florida on child pornography charges involving materials recovered from storage units.

Emily Chow (Focus on the Family / Plugged In) discusses slowing down and stepping back from social media.

Dr. Ted Baehr (Movie Guide) reviews the faith-filled Revolutionary War musical Drummer Boy, issues strong cautions on the new Cat in the Hat remake, recommends Silver Bells at Christmas, and covers related articles, while noting it is Lily Baehr’s birthday.
