Ep. 2512 - A Message for Bill Burr

September 24, 2026

AI Summary

5 min read

The comedian Bill Burr recently told Rolling Stone that America "requires a bloodbath," and on stage he has chanted "Free Luigi" in reference to Luigi Mangione, the man accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Ben Shapiro uses this as a starting point for a broader argument: the radical left has not moderated or gone away since the 2024 election. Instead, it is "metastasizing," waiting for the first opportunity to re-emerge with more intensity than before. The episode is a sustained warning to Republicans and independents who are disappointed with the Trump administration, urging them to recognize what is waiting on the other side of the political door.

Bill Burr explains that CEOs shouldn’t get security... they should instead understand why they’ve been shot as they bleed out; we cover the most obnoxious lesbians in the world at a Massachusetts bar... and yes, the story involves a clown school; and the United Nations is an entire clown world.
