The Bruce Cook Show

Author Douglas Murray brings his most interesting neoconservative perspective to The Bruce Cook Show. Murray, who had his first book published at age 19, has spent most of his life writing about why a conservative way of life is the best way of life, when dealing with politics, the middle east and especially the far-left leanings of the political currents in big city America, like California and New York City. A most compelling conversation with the Oxford educated Murray, indeed.

Kathryn Barger, Chair of Los Angeles County and its 5th District Supervisor, talks to Bruce about the myriad of problems plaguing her constituents. From ICE raids to civil unrest, and the uncooperative chaos caused by local, state and federal government officials, that also has an affect to those whom have lost homes in the deadly Eaton Fire last January. Bruce lightens up the second half of the show with musician, producer and entrepreneur Charles Letourneau, to talk about the Festival Napa Valley. Letourneau, who co-founded the event in 2006, has turned the Festival into a destination for classical music, food and wine lovers at no charge! Listen how he did it.

Kelly McKenna, CEO at End Chronic Disease and living with celiac disease, talks with Bruce about the difficulties in changing your diet to live with or overcome chronic illnesses like obesity, diabetes and hypertension.

Los Angeles City Council Member Traci Park, who represents District 11, which includes Pacific Palisades, engages Bruce in a lively discussion about what a year 2025 has been so far for the City of Angels. Wildfire and riot recovery dominate the hour, that is both head shaking, thought provoking and practical.

Orange County Republican Party Chairman Will O'Neill joins Bruce to talk about the peaceful protests turned riots in downtown Los Angeles. Why don't illegal immigrants want to assimulate to their new country? Should these undocumented immigrants be eligible for the free benefits given to them by the state government? Is mass deportation the answer? Can Los Angeles ever recover in time for the 2028 Olympics? Are sanctuary states and cities working? Bruce turns to O'Neill for his perspective from outside of Los Angeles County.

Michael Medoro, Chief Operating Officer of Childhelp talks passionately with Bruce about the non-profit organization that is all about at risk kids. Childhelp has successful projects globally in youth development, education, and healthcare throughout the United States, Africa, Europe and Central America.

Bruce welcomes Gerard Baker, current Editor At Large and former Editor In Chief at the Wall Street Journal, and Fox Business News contributor. All topics are on the table, including the economy. Is it up or down? The tariffs. Are they good or bad for the US, and the world economy? How will anti-semitism affect the up and coming generation currently enrolled in colleges and universities? Journalism. Will the mainstream media ever find its middle ground again? And much, much more in this too short of an hour.

USC Professor Dan Schnur joins Bruce to talk about how college students will pay back their student loans, other educational options available to young people that can't afford to attend a college or university, and rampant anti-semitism on our country's houses of higher learning.
