The Bill Bunkley Show

Kyle Warren on Brian Thompson Assassination Plea, Iran Sanctions, Movie Guide Reviews & American Exceptionalism

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 20:42:29 +0000

Kyle Warren sits in for Bill Bunkley on this Friday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show. The program opens with strong commentary on the guilty plea by the shooter of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, emphasizing the federal prosecutor’s statement: “There can be no celebrity in assassination.” Kyle rejects attempts to romanticize or justify the murder, including far-left claims of “social murder.”

Food for the Poor Campaign Update, Florida Gambling Money Flood, Hillsborough Human Trafficking Bust & Todd Starnes on “The Golden Age”

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 21:21:54 +0000

On this Thursday edition of the Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley opens with a passionate progress report on the ongoing Food for the Poor partnership to feed 375 malnourished children in Latin America and the Caribbean. With a matching gift doubling every donation, an $80 contribution feeds two children for a full year (just 4.6 cents a day per child). Listeners have already secured food for 78 kids, leaving 297 still to go; short-term goals include reaching 50% of the overall target. Bunkley recognizes recent donors from Sarasota, Polk County, Tampa, Clearwater and anonymous web gifts, then repeatedly urges calls to 855-353-HOPE, online gifts at Let’s Talk Faith.com, or texting WTBN to 51555. He also reminds drivers about school-zone safety, the ongoing sales-tax holiday for school supplies, and the flood of often negative campaign mailers arriving ahead of early voting—particularly a hot Hillsborough County Commission race centered on funding for a new Rays stadium.

The heart of the briefing turns to a sharp critique of gambling’s influence in Florida politics. Citing a Tampa Bay Times report, Bunkley notes that gambling interests (casinos, sports-betting apps, prediction markets) have already poured at least $12.2 million into the 2026 cycle, with three-quarters coming from the Seminole Tribe. He revisits his long-standing opposition to the state lottery and the Seminole compact, arguing that government should never profit from addiction and that lottery revenue has simply replaced rather than enhanced education funding. Byron Donalds, Charlie Crist and others are mentioned as recipients.

Later, Bunkley highlights Attorney General James Uthmeyer’s announcement of 116 arrests in the Hillsborough County area under “Operation Relentless Summer,” an ongoing human-trafficking and child-predator investigation that recovered five victims (three adults and two juveniles). He stresses the need for constant vigilance.

In a personal segment, Bunkley shares updates on his ongoing health challenges—history of AML leukemia and bone-marrow transplant, last year’s open-heart surgery, recent basal-cell carcinoma treatment, a neck ultrasound, and an upcoming colonoscopy that will keep him off the air the next day. He asks for prayer and encourages listeners to give toward the children’s campaign while he is away.

The program closes with a lively interview with Newsmax host and author Todd Starnes, promoting his brand-new book The Golden Age: How Trump Saved America. Starnes discusses Trump’s early second-term achievements, the “How Trump Saved the Church” chapter, the unfinished business of abolishing the Department of Education, the importance of Gen Z’s conservatism, and a call for Christians to remain engaged beyond any single presidency.

Throughout the two-hour broadcast, Bunkley interweaves studio-line invitations (877-943-9673), election-recommendation downloads available by county on Let’s Talk Faith.com, and repeated appeals for the Food for the Poor campaign.

Day of Hope: Feeding 375 Hungry Children in Latin America & the Caribbean – Bill Bunkley Show Special with Food for the Poor

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 21:26:34 +0000

In this deeply moving two-hour “Day of Hope” special episode of The Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley deliberately sets aside his usual coverage of local, national, and global issues to focus entirely on a mission of compassion and generosity. Four times a year the program reverses its normal format so listeners can give back, and this August campaign centers on providing food security for a minimum of 375 children living in extreme poverty across Latin America and the Caribbean. Joined by Food for the Poor representatives Danny and Annie, Bill shares vivid field testimonies that reveal the daily reality for the poorest of the poor: children with distended bellies and golden hair from severe malnutrition, families who survive on boiled water or a few tomatoes with tortilla, and mothers who cry alone in their rooms because they have nothing to feed their sons and daughters. One young girl named Evelyn is heard weeping as she explains she has not eaten that day and the previous day only received boiled water. Another mother, Mirna, describes the heartbreak of watching her children remain hungry while she wonders how she can ever give them a better life. Annie, herself raised by a single mother who sometimes had to say “we can’t,” connects these stories to the biblical call to childlike faith and the Lord’s Prayer—“Give us this day our daily bread”—spoken not as a spiritual metaphor but as a desperate plea for literal survival.

Listeners learn that a one-time gift of $80 (with a current match) feeds two children for an entire year—roughly 4.6 cents a day—while $160 covers four children, $400 feeds ten, and a leadership gift of $1,000 sponsors an entire classroom of twenty-five children. At the time of broadcast the campaign still needed to reach 321 more children and stood just shy of 30 percent of its goal. Bill repeatedly stakes his own reputation and family name on the integrity of Food for the Poor, emphasizing that every dollar is carefully stewarded and that he and Mrs. Bunkley have already made the first gift of the campaign. He challenges Central Florida communities—Tampa, Odessa, Brandon, Mulberry, Sarasota, Bradenton, Plant City, Lakeland, Clearwater, and beyond—to step up, lead from the front like Theodore Roosevelt charging Kettle Hill, and refuse to be spiritual “hoarders” of the resources God has entrusted to them. Drawing on Matthew 25, the Good Samaritan parable, and the command “freely you have received, freely give,” Danny and Annie urge every listener to become the answered prayer for a mother who is on her knees begging for one more day of food.

Throughout the broadcast, real-time donor shout-outs celebrate anonymous heroes and named givers who are already transforming lives. The episode closes with prayer, a final urgent appeal, and clear calls to action: dial 855-353-HOPE (855-353-4673), text WTBN to 51555, or visit letstalkfaith.com and click the Give Food banner. This is far more than a fundraising hour—it is a passionate invitation to turn faith into tangible hope so that hungry children can eat, learn, dream, and know they have not been forgotten.

Day of Hope – Feed 375 Hungry Children in Latin America & the Caribbean with Food for the Poor ($80 Feeds a Child for a Year + Match) Long Descriptive Paragraph:

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 21:27:12 +0000

In this special edition of the Bill Bunkley Show on Salem Radio / Let’s Talk Faith, host Bill Bunkley sets aside the usual daily briefing to partner with Danny and Annie from Food for the Poor for a powerful “Day of Hope.” With kids across Central Florida heading back to school, Bill highlights the heartbreaking contrast for children just outside our hemisphere in Latin America and the Caribbean who go to school hungry or don’t eat every day—many showing the classic signs of malnutrition such as golden hair and protruding stomachs. The team is working to provide food security for a minimum of 375 identified children on a waiting list. A one-time gift of just $80 (about 4.5–4.6 cents a day) feeds a child for an entire year with roughly two meals daily; thanks to a generous anonymous matching donor, every $80 gift doubles to feed two children. Listeners hear moving eyewitness accounts and audio testimonies from mothers like Evelyn and Monique who have nothing to give their crying children except boiled water and desperate prayers. Bill, Danny, and Annie repeatedly share easy ways to give—text WTBN to 51555, call 855-353-HOPE (855-353-4673), or visit letstalkfaith.com and click the Food for the Poor banner—while stressing that gifts are tax-deductible, can be made anonymous, or stretched over 12 monthly installments. The episode blends urgent appeals, short-term goals (including classroom-sized challenges of 25 children), personal stories of hopelessness versus hope, and a faith-centered call to action: be the answer to a mother’s prayer, become the hands and feet of Jesus, and leave no child behind.

Fauci Texts on COVID Vaccines & Pregnancy, Trump’s Childhood Vaccine Executive Order, RFK Jr. on Safety Research, Back-to-School Alerts & Food for the Poor Drive

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 21:24:15 +0000

In this packed Monday afternoon edition of The Bill Bunkley Show: The Briefing (airing weekdays at 3 p.m. on Let’s Talk Faith / Faith Talk Tampa and streaming worldwide), host Bill Bunkley opens with a major breaking development: newly released text messages extracted from Anthony Fauci’s government-issued iPhone, which the Department of Health and Human Services turned over to Senate investigators on August 5, 2026. Senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul disclosed a key chain involving Fauci, then-CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy from late January 2021 onward. The messages discuss COVID-19 vaccination of pregnant women, with Fauci stating the FDA had found “no red flags thus far,” CDC officials reporting “no signal of safety concerns,” and Fauci later asserting that tens of thousands of vaccinated pregnant women showed “no indication whatsoever” of increased adverse outcomes—leading him to conclude that pregnant women “should get vaccinated.” Bunkley contrasts these assurances with later critiques, including an open letter from maternal-fetal medicine specialist Dr. James Thorne questioning the methodology of a study that reported a 12.6% spontaneous abortion rate and arguing the true figure could be far higher once certain third-trimester recipients were properly excluded.

The program then pivots live to a White House event focused on childhood vaccines, where President Trump is joined by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and NIH officials. Kennedy details a sweeping executive order that prioritizes education, informed consent, and parental choice over mandates, while launching unprecedented research across FDA, CDC, NIH, ARPA-H, and the National Toxicology Program. The effort includes comparing vaccinated versus unvaccinated children’s health outcomes, examining aluminum adjuvants, the timing of the hepatitis B vaccine, vaccines given during pregnancy, and possible links to allergies, autoimmune disease, autism, and other neurodevelopmental conditions. NIH’s Autism Data Science Initiative has already awarded 13 research grants (five of which will examine vaccines among other factors), with ARPA-H preparing a major new initiative on foundational biology, diagnostics, and treatments. Kennedy also notes the restoration of the congressionally mandated Task Force on Safer Childhood Vaccines, dormant since 1998, which will now expand vaccine options, review timing and sequencing, and evaluate alternative adjuvants. Trump fields questions on manufacturing gains driven by tariffs, the safety of the MMR vaccine (suggesting a possible split into individual components), and the potential to “save hundreds of thousands, millions of lives.”

Interwoven throughout are extensive appeals for Food for the Poor’s August campaign to feed 375 malnourished children in Latin America and the Caribbean (down to roughly 350 remaining at airtime). Bunkley emphasizes that an $80 one-time gift feeds one child for a full year (about 4.5 cents per day) and is doubled by a generous anonymous match, repeatedly urging listeners to text WTBN to 51555, call 855-353-HOPE, or give online at letstalkfaith.com. He highlights specific donor shout-outs (Mark, Carolyn of Clearwater with a $500 gift covering 12 children after match, Teresa of St. Petersburg, and anonymous Clearwater supporters), sets modest hourly goals of 10–15 additional children, and frames the effort in biblical terms—drawing on Nehemiah’s burden for Jerusalem and the classic starfish story—to call Christians and conservatives to meet tangible needs rather than rely on government.

Practical back-to-school segments warn of reactivated school-zone speeding cameras, school-bus stop-arm cameras, heavier morning and afternoon traffic, and the ongoing Florida sales-tax holiday (through Thursday, August 20) for school supplies. On the political front, Bunkley dismantles James Fishback’s recent claims that Congressman Byron Donalds is under federal investigation for sex trafficking alongside Rep. Cory Mills at a Maryland casino—allegations the Justice Department has explicitly denied, Donalds’ campaign has labeled a “baseless and defamatory sideshow,” and Florida Politics notes lack any corroboration just days before the August 18 Republican primary. He cautions listeners about last-minute negative mailers and attack ads that use unflattering black-and-white photos and appear too late for effective rebuttal, drawing on his own past experience as a candidate targeted by similar tactics. Additional commentary criticizes the Senate’s departure for a lengthy recess without advancing the SAVE Act (photo ID and citizenship verification for voting), highlights the national debt and interest payments now exceeding military spending, surveys the Iran–U.S. stalemate and Israel’s position on Gaza redevelopment and residual Iranian nuclear capability, notes two tropical systems approaching the Caribbean, flags Kevin Steele’s self-funded congressional bid, and condemns recent on-court violence in the WNBA as a poor example for young athletes. Listener Todd calls in with a passionate mix of fundraising support, pro-Trump commentary, and criticism of Democratic cultural priorities and Iran policy. Throughout, Bunkley keeps the studio line open (877-943-9673) and repeatedly circles back to the twin themes of protecting children—whether from questionable medical interventions, unsafe roads, or starvation—and exercising discernment in both public health and electoral politics.

Michigan Socialist Primary Shock, Florida Election Recommendations Live, Food for the Poor Match Drive & Everglades Python Challenge Winner

Wed, 05 Aug 2026 21:23:23 +0000

On this Wednesday edition of the Bill Bunkley Show (broadcast on Salem Radio Central Florida / Let’s Talk Faith), host Bill Bunkley opens with local weather notes from Tampa—multiple nearby lightning strikes, heavy rain helping replenish aquifers and lakes amid a stronger El Niño that may temporarily ease early hurricane threats—before launching a major August Food for the Poor campaign. Listeners are urged to give $80 to feed one severely malnourished child in Latin America or the Caribbean for a full year (roughly 4.5–4.6 cents a day); an anonymous donor is matching every gift, so $80 effectively feeds two children, $160 feeds four, $320 feeds eight, and larger gifts (including installments) can support dozens. Donation options include texting WTBN to 51555, calling 855-353-HOPE, or giving at letstalkfaith.com; the goal is at least 375 children. The briefing then turns to the Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate primary, where socialist/communist-leaning candidate Abdul El-Saeed narrowly defeated Rep. Haley Stevens and will face Republican Mike Rogers. Bunkley highlights El-Saeed’s platform, campaign donations exceeding $115,000 from individuals linked to CAIR (designated a terrorist organization by the UAE and labeled as such in Florida and Texas), alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, non-assimilation in areas such as Dearborn, and concerns about de-facto Sharia influence and anti-American sentiment. Callers discuss infiltration tactics and the need for situational awareness to protect the republic. Bunkley announces that his 2026 primary recommendations for Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando, Polk, Manatee, and Sarasota counties are now posted as downloadable Word documents on letstalkfaith.com (with a rare on-air exception listing several Sarasota local races). Lighter segments cover the Florida Python Challenge, where professional hunter Tom Rahel captured 96 invasive Burmese pythons (including a near-17-foot record) and won $10,000, contributing to thousands removed from the Everglades since 2013. The show closes with reflections on devastating wildfires near Spokane (arson suspect arrested), Iran’s execution of at least 56 people on national-security charges since March (linked to protests and ongoing crackdowns), potential U.S. munitions constraints, and a call for prayer, unity, and voting in the Florida primaries.

Michigan Primary Threatens DSA Takeover | Florida Judge Strikes Misleading Property Tax Ballot Language | The Truth About Flock Cameras

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 21:18:16 +0000

On this August 4, 2026 episode of The Briefing on the Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley digs into the high-stakes Michigan Democratic primary where socialist candidate Abdul El-Sayed is polling ahead of mainstream Democrat Haley Stevens, raising fears that a win could cement the Democratic Socialists of America’s grip on the party and amplify far-left influence in a competitive U.S. Senate race. He unpacks El-Sayed’s radical positions on Medicare for All, free childcare, higher minimum wages, an Israel arms embargo, and more, while noting support from Bernie Sanders, AOC, and the UAW. Bunkley also covers a Leon County judge’s ruling that Florida’s proposed property tax amendment ballot title and summary are misleading and discriminatory against renters and new residents, ordering Attorney General James Uthmeier to rewrite them within 10 days—despite the measure still heading to the November ballot. In addition, he examines “Flock cameras,” the solar-powered AI license-plate readers spreading across roads that capture vehicle details and feed searchable databases for law enforcement, weighing their crime-fighting benefits against serious privacy and mass-surveillance concerns. Throughout the show, Bunkley continues the summer campaign for Food for the Poor, urging listeners to help feed malnourished children in Latin America and the Caribbean at $80 per child for a full year (with every gift doubled by a matching donor), sharing powerful testimonies and practical giving options. The episode also briefly notes a major win for Florida’s Protection of Children Act after the full 11th Circuit upheld the ban on minors attending adult live performances.

Feed Hungry Kids in Latin America & the Caribbean with Food for the Poor, Hillsborough Election Recommendations, Trump-Iran Pause, Tesla/Waymo Driverless Cars Hit Tampa & Israeli 3D-Printed Rib Cage Breakthrough

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 21:19:19 +0000

On this first broadcast day of August 2026, Bill Bunkley launches the month-long Food for the Poor campaign from the studios of Faith Talk Tampa / Salem Radio Central Florida, streaming worldwide at Let’s Talk Faith.com. He shares heartbreaking field testimonies of children in Latin America and the Caribbean facing extreme food insecurity—where a seven-year-old waits because “today it’s not my turn to eat,” where severe malnutrition produces potbellies and golden hair, and where families earn only a few dollars a day amid rising prices, crop failures and natural disasters. Listeners are invited to join the Bunkley family (who already gave) with a tax-deductible $80 gift that feeds one child for an entire year; a generous matching benefactor doubles every donation so $80 feeds two children, $160 feeds four, and larger gifts scale accordingly. Gifts can be made online at letstalkfaith.com (click the red “Give Food” banner), by texting WTBN to 51555, or by calling the Hope Line 855-353-HOPE; the goal is at least 375 children fed, with early donors already removing kids from the waiting list. Bill also directs Hillsborough County voters (early voting underway) to his full unlocked recommendations document on the same website, notes upcoming lists for Polk, Pasco, Hernando, Pinellas, Manatee and Sarasota, and explains his conservative/Christian-worldview weighting that balances electability with post-election legislative relationships. The briefing continues with analysis of the latest Trump-Iran pause after Saudi and other Arab allies urged restraint, discussion of the human and strategic costs of deeper strikes on energy infrastructure or boots-on-the-ground operations, the arrival of Tesla and Waymo (Alphabet) driverless robotaxis in Tampa as another marker of the AI-driven job transformation, and the remarkable Israeli surgical first—complete rib-cage replacement with a custom 3D-printed implant for a young woman with an ultra-rare sarcoma. Studio lines remain open at 877-943-9673 throughout.

Iran Retaliatory Strikes, Quinnipiac Poll Doubts, and the Alarming Rise of DSA Socialism in America

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 21:21:43 +0000

On this Thursday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley delivers a hard-hitting briefing rooted in his Christian and conservative worldview. He opens with updates on President Trump’s latest two-hour wave of retaliatory U.S. strikes against Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targets in Iran following their ballistic missile attack on American forces at a base in Jordan, while examining a new Quinnipiac University poll showing 60% of registered voters now oppose the military campaign and growing public weariness over the conflict’s duration. Bunkley then pivots to a Washington Post-Ipsos poll revealing that 39% of Americans would consider voting for a Democratic Socialist president—numbers he finds deeply troubling—and breaks down the DSA’s radical platform as articulated by co-chair Megan Romer, including calls to abolish the U.S. Constitution, the presidency, the Senate, the Supreme Court, and ICE, while pushing open borders and government control of businesses. Drawing historical parallels to Nikita Khrushchev’s 1959 predictions and the classic Marxist-Leninist playbook of control through healthcare, poverty, debt, education, and class warfare, Bunkley warns that socialism-communism is a growing cancer within the Democratic Party fueled by decades of unchecked indoctrination. He also teases upcoming 2026 Florida primary recommendations (starting with Hillsborough County), promotes the August Food for the Poor matching campaign to feed 375 children in Latin America and the Caribbean, and takes a passionate caller from Sarasota. Tune in for unfiltered analysis at the intersection of faith, freedom, and the future of the American republic.

Trump Vows Hard Response After Iran’s Ballistic Missile Attack on U.S. Base in Jordan | Fauci Takes the Fifth 111 Times | Markets Plunge on Fed Hold | Florida Kids Mental Health Guidance

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 21:26:39 +0000

On this Wednesday, July 29, 2026 edition of The Briefing on Salem Radio, Bill Bunkley broadcasts live from Tampa as the show opens with continuous monitoring of President Donald Trump speaking from the White House. Trump details an ambitious redesign of Washington Dulles Airport, promising to replace the dysfunctional C&D concourses while preserving Eero Saarinen’s iconic original terminal, construct the world’s largest mostly above-ground parking garage for approximately 32,000 cars with glass bridges allowing travelers to walk just yards into the terminal, install a horseshoe train system and high-speed walkways, and add major new dining and retail including one of the largest United Polaris lounges. The discussion is interwoven with anticipation of a developing national security story: an overnight surprise ballistic-missile attack by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeting a United States air base in Jordan. Five large missiles traveling more than 8,000 miles per hour were launched; all were intercepted by American-manned Patriot systems. Trump states the attackers have already apologized, attributes the strike to a “different group,” but makes clear the United States will “hit them very hard” and that “it’s our turn to hit back,” emphasizing American vigilance and the unmatched performance of U.S. defensive systems.

Markets react sharply after the Federal Reserve votes to keep the federal funds rate unchanged at 3.75 percent. During the broadcast the Dow Jones Industrial Average is reported down more than 950 points and later exceeds a 1,100-point decline (over 2 percent), the S&P 500 falls more than 90 points, the Nasdaq drops over 300 points, and the Russell 2000 also sells off, with particular pressure on chip stocks. Bunkley places the market action in the context of ongoing geopolitical risk, including potential disruption of oil shipping lanes in the Persian Gulf and Red Sea.

A central focus of the second hour is the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing chaired by Senator Rand Paul. Anthony Fauci, appearing under subpoena, invokes the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination 111 times over roughly two and a half hours and answers virtually no questions. Bunkley notes that President Biden had previously granted Fauci a broad, back-dated presidential pardon covering the COVID period, yet Fauci still refused to testify. Newly public diary entries are described as revealing an intense preoccupation with personal fame, media attention, Hollywood praise, and the solicitation—by government-paid staff—of multi-million-dollar awards and financial rewards for purported COVID expertise. Bunkley shares his own medical history: an AML leukemia diagnosis, a 2018 bone-marrow transplant that left him with a compromised immune system, and multiple subsequent hospitalizations for COVID, underscoring why the lack of transparency and the policy decisions of that era remain deeply personal. He revisits the broader human cost—families denied the chance to say goodbye to dying loved ones, prolonged school closures whose effects continue, the six-foot distancing rule later acknowledged as lacking scientific basis, gain-of-function research funding, and the initial dismissal of the Wuhan lab-leak hypothesis.

Additional Florida-focused segments include an update on Bunkley’s forthcoming primary-election recommendations for Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Polk, Hernando, Sarasota, and Manatee counties ahead of the August 18 primary, a candidate forum he moderated the previous evening, and new guidance from the Florida Department of Health. The guidance urges physicians to prioritize comprehensive medical and behavioral evaluation, therapy, sleep, nutrition, physical activity, reduced screen time, and family factors before prescribing psychiatric medications for most children ages 5–17 diagnosed with depression, anxiety, or ADHD. Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo is quoted emphasizing investigation of root causes rather than default reliance on pharmaceuticals. The segment notes that the guidance is non-binding yet reflects a deliberate state-level divergence from national norms and aligns with broader efforts under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to reduce psychiatric-drug dependence among young people.

Bunkley also previews the upcoming August partnership with Food for the Poor, aiming to provide life-saving nutrition for a minimum of 375 malnourished children in Latin America and the Caribbean at a cost of $80 to feed two children for a year (with matching gifts doubling the impact), stressing that every dollar goes directly to the charity. The program closes with a local crime story: Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission arrests of Plaza Beach Hotel owner Robert Czyszczon and Chris’s Beachside Bar owner Christopher Monroe, accused of purchasing and dumping approximately 1,500 mothballs on St. Pete Beach to deter nesting by imperiled black skimmer shorebirds. Bunkley urges listeners to avoid both establishments.

Back from Vacation: Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Library, AI Hits the Singularity & Critical Midterm Warning

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 21:00:15 +0000

Bill Bunkley returns from vacation refreshed and ready, sharing a detailed travel log of his trip through the stunning Pacific Northwest coastline—from Seattle and Olympic National Park to Cannon Beach, Oregon—before heading to Medora, North Dakota, to experience the brand-new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. He walks listeners through Teddy Roosevelt’s life-changing years in the Badlands, the Maltese Cross and Elkhorn Ranches, the birth of his conservation ethic, and the extraordinary immersive AI-powered exhibits, Medal of Honor displays, and historic diary on loan at the state-of-the-art library. Shifting to current events, Bill zeroes in on OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s startling declaration that “we are in the singularity,” explaining what this means as artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence and begins advancing beyond human prediction or control—highlighted by a rogue AI agent that independently hacked another company. He raises urgent questions about safeguards, nuclear protocols, password security, and the potential for misuse by bad actors. The hour closes with a strong call to action on the approaching Florida primary and November midterms: low turnout risks, upcoming county-by-county candidate recommendations, and a clear warning against Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) candidates who openly push socialist and communist policies. Bill also previews an upcoming Food for the Poor campaign to feed hungry children in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Supreme Court Delivers on Birthright Citizenship, Women’s Sports & Campaign Spending + Daryl Strawberry’s Powerful Redemption Story

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 21:15:43 +0000

In this jam-packed edition of The Bill Bunkley Show on the last day of June 2026, host Bill Bunkley delivers a comprehensive briefing from the Tampa studios covering everything from heavy Central Florida downpours and a dangerous heat dome threatening the nation’s capital for the 4th of July weekend, to the final major Supreme Court decisions of the term. The Court ruled 6-3 to uphold birthright citizenship regardless of parental legal status (a setback for President Trump), delivered a major victory for women’s sports by barring biological males from competing, and struck down 50-year-old limits on political party spending.

Bunkley also features an inspiring and deeply personal interview with New York Mets legend and retired jersey #18 Daryl Strawberry, who discusses his new book Another Life: Discovering the Healing Power of Purpose on My Long Journey from Player to Preacher. Strawberry opens up about childhood trauma, substance abuse, multiple divorces, cancer, jail time, his mother’s faithful prayers, and his remarkable transformation into a traveling evangelist who spends 270 days a year preaching the Gospel in prisons, schools, churches, and beyond alongside his son Jordan.

Additional segments include detailed analysis of Governor Ron DeSantis’s line-item vetoes totaling over $800 million in the 2026-2027 Florida state budget (with specific impacts on Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Sarasota-Manatee counties), promotion of the upcoming Freedom Forum 250 event in Sarasota with Mike Gallagher and Hugh Hewitt, warnings about gas price gouging, free Florida State Park access for the holiday weekend, commentary on controversial Pride parades, and prayers for earthquake victims in Venezuela. The show blends faith, conservative politics, local news, weather safety reminders, and powerful Christian testimony into one engaging afternoon broadcast.

Great American State Fair, Radical Forgiveness with Stephen McWerther, DeSantis Budget Triumph & SCOTUS Disappointment on Mail-In Ballots

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 21:28:12 +0000

In this compelling Monday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley delivers an inspiring and timely broadcast packed with faith, patriotism, and hard-hitting conservative commentary. Fresh from a blessed visit to the Great American State Fair on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., Bill shares vivid firsthand accounts of the massive celebration of America's 250th anniversary, highlighting state pavilions like Montana's live rodeo demonstrations, Florida's manatee and citrus exhibits, the towering Ferris wheel, and the Triumphal Arch replica. He encourages listeners to attend before July 10th and spotlights the Focus on the Family booth featuring Adventures in Odyssey.

Bill also extends a personal invitation to the Freedom Forum 250 event on July 21st in Sarasota with Mike Gallagher and Hugh Hewitt. The heart of the show features an emotional, raw interview with Grammy-nominated worship artist and author Stephen McWerther, who discusses his powerful new book Radically Restored: How Knowing Jesus Heals Our Brokenness. McWerther shares his journey from evangelist's son and crystal meth addict to radical transformation through faith, forgiveness, and the healing power of Christ — including the profound story of forgiving and reconciling with his abusive father.

Additional highlights include Governor Ron DeSantis signing Florida’s fiscally responsible 2026-2027 budget with major tax relief and spending cuts, and a strong critique of the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision (authored by Justice Amy Coney Barrett and joined by Chief Justice Roberts) allowing mail-in ballots to be counted days after Election Day, which Bill and callers warn severely undermines election integrity. Listener calls address media bias, the St. Petersburg Pride parade coverage, and cultural concerns. This episode blends uplifting faith testimonies, patriotic celebration, practical conservative analysis, and urgent calls to action.

Bill then breaks down major Supreme Court victories for President Trump and the Second Amendment: rulings affirming the President’s authority to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS), clarifying asylum eligibility for those who have not yet entered U.S. soil, and striking down Hawaii’s restrictive concealed carry rules on private property. He follows with an in-depth, engaging interview with historian and author Brady J. Kritzer on his new book The National Road: George Washington and America’s First Highway West, exploring Washington’s visionary push for east-west infrastructure, the engineering challenges of the Appalachian Mountains, political battles over funding, the Whiskey Rebellion, and the cultural impact of this pioneering federal highway project that shaped early American expansion.

In the second hour, Bill examines John Morgan’s launch of the new “Common Ground” political party in Florida (with members called “Grounders”), the surge in independent voters frustrated with gridlock in both major parties, and reflections on pocketbook issues driving politics. He also analyzes recent New York elections showing socialist gains, a caller discussion on grassroots left-wing organizing (highlighting Karlyn Borosenko’s insights), Charlie Crist’s comments on keeping the Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg, and a preview of the USA vs. Turkey soccer match. The show blends patriotic nostalgia, historical depth, sharp political analysis, and listener interaction in classic Bill Bunkley style.

Trump's Iran Deal: Masterstroke or Dance with the Devil?

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 21:25:40 +0000

In this Monday edition of The Briefing on the Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley delivers a thoughtful and faith-informed breakdown of President Trump's announced deal with Iran. Weighing the potential outcomes, Bunkley explores whether this pragmatic agreement represents the "art of the deal" at its finest or a dangerous dance with the devil that could empower Iranian terrorists, fund proxies like Hezbollah and Hamas, and leave Israel vulnerable. Drawing on biblical prophecy from Ezekiel 38-39, skepticism about Iranian sincerity, concerns for the Iranian people, and the high costs of military escalation, the episode examines the political, economic, and spiritual implications—including lower oil prices, midterm election dynamics, and U.S.-Israel relations. Additional segments cover the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House (with historical parallels to Theodore Roosevelt's boxing passion), a tribute to beloved Florida statesman Ralph H. Haben Jr., updates on the 2026 Florida gubernatorial race and congressional redistricting, and observations on key figures like Marco Rubio. A must-listen for those seeking conservative, Christ-centered commentary on current events at the intersection of faith, politics, and global affairs.

Interwoven is an inspiring interview with renowned author and speaker Joni Eareckson Tada, who shares her powerful testimony of living as a quadriplegic for nearly 60 years, her new devotional Keeping Faith When Life Hurts: 100 Devotions for Hard Days, and timeless wisdom on finding joy, hope, and strength in Christ amid trials. Additional segments cover President Trump’s White House press gaggle on the Iran deal, fishing regulations, and domestic issues; Florida Attorney General’s zero-tolerance stance on teen takeovers; the Tampa Bay Rays stadium delay; and a patriotic nod to upcoming historical films like Young Washington ahead of America’s 250th anniversary. A faith-infused, news-packed hour blending geopolitics, Christian encouragement, and local Florida matters.

Trump Reaches Tipping Point on Iran, Post-Woke Culture Battle, & Social Security Crisis Warning

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 21:27:01 +0000

In this compelling episode of The Briefing with Bill Bunkley, broadcast from Tampa on June 10, 2026, the veteran host tackles urgent national and global issues head-on. Bill analyzes whether President Trump has finally reached a tipping point with Iran following the downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter, the deployment of Navy drone boats for rescue, and impending strong military responses. He connects this to historical parallels with Nazi Germany and the fight against radical extremism. The show features an in-depth interview with Dr. Neil Shenvi, co-author of Post-Woke: Asserting a Biblical Vision of Race, Gender, and Sexuality, exploring the Marxist roots of critical theory, woke ideology's impact on education and culture, logical fallacies in social justice discourse, and practical biblical strategies for parents and Christians to equip the next generation. Additional segments cover major proposed changes to the Hillsborough County Commission structure heading to the ballot, and a sobering warning about the Social Security Trust Fund's impending depletion by 2032, projecting significant benefit cuts. Throughout, Bill blends faith, history, current events, and practical advice while encouraging listener engagement on these pivotal topics.

Iran Shoots Down U.S. Helicopter: Trump’s Strategy Under Fire | SBC Election & Florida Budget Turkeys

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 21:26:03 +0000

Join Bill Bunkley for the Tuesday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show as he breaks down the most pressing stories of the day. The episode opens with urgent coverage of Iran downing a U.S. Apache helicopter in international waters over the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump vows a necessary response, prompting Bill to analyze the administration’s shifting approach — contrasting strong words on the U.S. incident with pressure on Israel to avoid retaliation after recent missile attacks. Drawing on Amir Tsarfati’s detailed timeline, Bill highlights 37 instances of optimistic public statements from Trump about an imminent Iran deal that never materialized, questioning whether delay tactics are playing into Iran’s hands ahead of U.S. elections.

The show includes strong listener input, economic commentary on rising gas prices and consumer behavior, and a forward-looking segment on artificial intelligence replacing workers at McDonald’s drive-thrus through the new Arch IQ system. Bill also reports the guilty verdict in the emotional Texas case where Carmelo Anthony was convicted of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a confrontation at a high school track meet. In state news, Florida Tax Watch’s “turkey hunt” reveals nearly $830 million in unvetted special projects tucked into the state budget, with examples ranging from university research grants and athletic facilities to local parks and cultural centers.

Additionally, live from the Southern Baptist Convention in Orlando, Bill announces the election of Dr. Willie Rice of Calvary Baptist Church as the new SBC President and shares his personal connection and congratulations. The program closes with reflections on faith, family, cultural decline, and personal health updates from Bill’s recent surgery. Packed with analysis, calls, and updates, this episode is a must-listen for Christians seeking a biblical perspective on today’s headlines.

From Congo Poverty to Global Banking Success: A.T.’s Incredible Faith Story + Earthquake, Iran Tensions & Rays Stadium News

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 21:29:07 +0000

On this Monday, June 8, 2026 edition of The Bill Bunkley Show on Faith Talk Tampa, host Bill Bunkley delivers his signature blend of conservative Christian commentary, breaking news, and inspiring testimony. The episode opens with in-depth analysis of President Trump’s negotiations with Iran and the Ayatollahs, emphasizing unwavering support for Israel’s right to defend itself against Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iranian-backed threats while urging listeners to focus on actions rather than rhetoric. Amid these global tensions, the show pivots to major local breaking news: a rare 6.1 magnitude earthquake strikes off Cuba’s western coast, sending tremors across Florida from the Tampa Bay area all the way to Jacksonville. Bill takes live calls from listeners who felt the shaking, reassures residents about the lack of tsunami risk, and prays for the Cuban people living in vulnerable structures.

The heart of the episode features a moving interview with Athanesia Kadaka Tishibaka (A.T.), author of Son of the Congo: A Journey of Tragedy, Triumph, and Transformation. A.T. shares his remarkable story—from losing his father to cancer at age three in a Congolese village, surviving poverty, tribal pressures, and near-starvation, to earning top honors at Dartmouth and Tuck School of Business, breaking barriers as one of the first African leaders in global banking at Citigroup and Lloyd’s, and ultimately finding personal faith in Christ in 1975. His testimony of resilience, God’s faithfulness, and service is both humbling and uplifting. Additional segments include listener calls with strong opinions on foreign policy and Trump’s leadership, updates on the Tampa Bay Rays stadium plans impacted by proposed property tax reductions, political commentary on the Maine Senate race, a confirmation that WWE legend Hulk Hogan died of natural causes, and sponsor messages. Packed with faith, current events, and heartfelt conversation, this episode exemplifies the show’s long-standing commitment to informative, values-driven broadcasting.

Trump vs. Iran Negotiations, Midterm Election Pressure, and the Coming Russia-Iran Alliance

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 21:28:43 +0000

In this compelling episode of The Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley delivers a wide-ranging briefing from the intersection of faith, politics, and current events.

Bill Bunkley Briefing: Massive Preborn Victory, Scott Rasmussen on the Elite 1% vs. America’s Soul, Iran Update & Florida Property Tax Relief

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 21:25:54 +0000

On this June 1, 2026 edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, Bill celebrates a powerful victory with listeners as the Preborn ultrasound campaign surpassed its goal, raising funds for 499 ultrasounds (129% of goal) across West Central Florida — potentially saving hundreds of unborn lives through Apprentice Care Centers. Bill shares heartfelt thanks to major donors like Jack and Patricia from Sarasota and reflects on faith, patience, and God’s timing while discussing Mark Batterson’s book Gradually Then Suddenly.

In the main interview, renowned pollster Scott Rasmussen joins the show to discuss his important new book Out of Touch: The Elite 1% and the Battle for America’s Soul, breaking down the 10-10-80 divide in America, how the elite class (post-grad degree, high-income, urban) has become disconnected from mainstream values, their desire for centralized government control, and why Rasmussen remains optimistic about America’s founding ideals of freedom, equality, and self-governance prevailing.

Bill also provides discerning analysis on the ongoing Iran situation, urging listeners to focus on actions rather than rhetoric, shares breaking news from President Trump regarding Israel, Hezbollah, and regional developments, and breaks down Governor DeSantis’ special legislative session on major property tax relief proposals — including big increases to homestead exemptions that could eliminate property taxes for many Florida homeowners. The show blends faith, conservative insight, pro-life impact, and practical Florida news.:

Ultrasound Sprint to the Finish: Bill Bunkley & Kyle Warren’s Urgent Fundraising Drive for Preborn Network in Central Florida

Thu, 28 May 2026 21:24:59 +0000

In this powerful Thursday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show on Faith Talk Tampa / letstalkfaith.com, hosts Bill Bunkley and overnight anchor Kyle Warren dedicate the entire broadcast to an urgent “Ultrasound Sprint to the Finish Line” for the Preborn Network and Apprentice Care Centers serving Central Florida. With only two days left in their May campaign, the team has already provided 252 free ultrasound sessions for women, teenagers, and college students facing unplanned pregnancies, but they still need 133 more to reach their goal of 385 total sessions. At just $28 per ultrasound, they are calling on listeners — especially Christ followers and conservatives — to help raise the remaining $3,743 to cross the finish line.

Throughout the heartfelt broadcast, Bill and Kyle share moving real-life testimonies from women like Leslie, Michelle, Elizabeth, and Chandra who experienced deep regret, depression, substance abuse, and long-term emotional trauma after abortions, emphasizing how a single ultrasound and compassionate counseling can change the trajectory of lives by revealing the truth of the unborn child’s heartbeat and humanity. They highlight the comprehensive support Preborn provides — not just ultrasounds, but up to two years of practical help including counseling, material assistance, and adoption options — all without judgment, only love and hope rooted in Christian faith.

The show features repeated calls to action, leadership gift challenges ($500 for 18 ultrasounds, $1,000 for 36, or a single major gift to cover the full remainder), and special thanks to early donor Helene from Sarasota. With a strong appeal to both faith and conservative values, the hosts stress the importance of not leaving any ultrasound session behind, countering cultural pressures, and standing for life in a post-Roe world. Listeners are encouraged to call 833-850-2229 or visit letstalkfaith.com to donate quickly and anonymously, with every dollar going directly to life-saving services in the I-4 corridor and surrounding areas.

Tampa Rays Stadium Drama: City Council Decision Today, Honoring Frank Morsani & Latest Legislative News

Thu, 21 May 2026 21:21:25 +0000

On today’s show, Bill delivers an in-depth breakdown of one of the most significant local government decisions in recent Tampa Bay history as the Tampa City Council holds its final deliberations on the proposed Memorandum of Understanding for the Tampa Bay Rays new stadium project. Listeners will get full context on what this MOU entails, the potential impacts on taxpayers, downtown development, traffic, tourism, and the future of professional baseball in the region.

Bill also takes time to remember and honor the late Frank Morsani, the respected Tampa civic leader and businessman who fought tirelessly for decades to bring Major League Baseball to Tampa. Morsani was repeatedly misled and strung along by Major League Baseball executives with promises of an expansion team, only to face disappointment after disappointment despite his substantial efforts and investments. His story serves as a powerful reminder of the complex relationship between local leaders, sports franchises, and league politics.

In addition, the show features a detailed legislative update on the ongoing 2026/2027 Florida state budget negotiations, covering key sticking points, funding priorities, potential cuts or increases affecting the Tampa Bay area, education, infrastructure, and economic development. Bill explains how these high-stakes talks in Tallahassee could directly impact local residents, businesses, and communities in the coming years.

As always, the program rounds out with a comprehensive review of the top local and world news stories that matter most to Tampa Bay listeners. From regional politics and economic developments to international headlines affecting Florida, Bill provides clear, no-nonsense analysis, important background context, and straightforward commentary you won’t hear on corporate media outlets.

Whether you’re a dedicated Tampa Bay Rays fan, a concerned taxpayer, a downtown resident, or simply someone who wants to stay well-informed about what’s happening in your backyard and beyond, this episode is essential listening. Tune in for thoughtful discussion, historical perspective, and the latest updates that directly affect life in the Tampa Bay area.

Wed, 20 May 2026 21:27:38 +0000

On the Wednesday, May 20, 2026 edition of The Bill Bunkley Show on Faith Talk Tampa / Salem Radio, veteran host Bill Bunkley delivers a jam-packed afternoon broadcast blending major local breaking news, biblical prophecy, national politics, and a heartfelt pro-life appeal. The show leads with exciting Hillsborough County news as the County Commission voted 5-2 to approve the Memorandum of Understanding for a transformative new $2.3 billion indoor Tampa Bay Rays baseball stadium in Drew Park, Tampa — a long-awaited step after 16 years of efforts led by Chairman Ken Hagan to bring Major League Baseball back across the bay from St. Petersburg. Bill provides in-depth context on the project’s economic benefits, multi-use development potential, public funding details, and the upcoming Tampa City Council vote.

In the second half of the program, Bill sits down with author, illustrator, and animation producer Todd Hampson to discuss his latest book, The Non-Prophet’s Guide to the Rapture. They explore the often-intimidating topic of Bible prophecy in an accessible, visual, and conversational way — covering the different views on the Rapture, its biblical foundation, church history, the Olivet Discourse, signs of the times, Israel’s role, and why the Rapture remains the “blessed hope” for believers. Todd shares insights from his award-winning animation background and explains how the book uses humor, charts, timelines, and illustrations to make end-times theology understandable for both new believers and seasoned Christians alike.

Politically, Bill celebrates President Donald Trump’s dominant 37-0 sweep of endorsed candidates in the previous night’s Republican primaries across multiple states, including the defeat of longtime Congressman Thomas Massie in Kentucky. He also discusses the Trump administration’s indictment of 94-year-old former Cuban President Raul Castro for the 1996 shoot-down of civilian aircraft, along with ongoing developments in Cuba.

Throughout the broadcast, Bill passionately urges listeners to support the Pre-Born ultrasound campaign, aiming for 385 free ultrasounds for women and teens facing unplanned pregnancies in Central Florida. He emphasizes the life-saving impact of ultrasounds (with an 80% choose-life rate), the broader cultural importance of increasing America’s declining birth rate (currently below replacement level at 1.79), and the long-term legacy of strengthening families and future generations through pro-life support.

This episode beautifully weaves together faith, local Tampa Bay pride, conservative values, biblical teaching, and practical calls to action — making it a must-listen for listeners interested in current events through a distinctly Christian worldview.

Students in the Lion’s Den: Protecting Kids’ Faith from College Indoctrination | Rays Stadium Debate + Preborn Appeal

Tue, 19 May 2026 20:23:59 +0000

In this powerful Tuesday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley breaks down a surprising opinion piece from Tampa Bay Times Chairman & CEO Conan Gallaty strongly urging Tampa and Hillsborough leaders to vote yes on the Tampa Bay Rays stadium proposal. He shares key excerpts from the editorial and discusses the economic, accountability, and long-term benefits for the region.

The show also features an in-depth interview with Dr. Gary H. Lovejoy, author of Students in the Lion’s Den, who draws from 30+ years teaching on a secular campus to expose how Christian students are losing their faith in college. Dr. Lovejoy identifies six types of students most vulnerable to secular indoctrination, Marxist/socialist ideology, and spiritual traps — and offers practical advice for parents and grandparents on preparing their children before they step on campus.

Throughout the hour, Bill delivers a heartfelt appeal for the Preborn ministry, emphasizing the critical need to support ultrasound services at Central Florida pregnancy care centers. With abortion rates rising due to mail-order pills, he highlights how a simple $28 ultrasound helps 80% of women choose life after seeing their baby and hearing the heartbeat. Emotional testimonies, including a powerful call from Bob in Sarasota, underscore the lasting impact of abortion regret and the hope of healing and legacy through supporting life.

A must-listen for parents, grandparents, pro-life supporters, and anyone concerned about faith, family, and the future of our communities.

Mon, 18 May 2026 21:35:26 +0000

In this powerful edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, broadcast from Tampa, Florida, host Bill Bunkley delivers an inspiring mix of faith, patriotism, and urgent calls to action. The program opens with a heartfelt plea for prayer for President Donald Trump as he navigates critical decisions regarding Iran, while celebrating the historic "Rededicate 250" National Jubilee of Prayer on the National Mall — a nine-hour event of praise and rededication that providentially aligned with the 250th anniversary of a Continental Congress day of fasting and prayer in 1776.

Bunkley passionately urges listeners to support Central Florida pregnancy care centers through the Pre-Born ultrasound campaign, emphasizing that a $28 gift can provide a life-saving ultrasound and that 80% of mothers who see their baby’s heartbeat choose life. The emotional centerpiece features a moving interview with Ken and Mary Sue Grime, authors of Jacob’s Story: The Extraordinary Life of Jacob Grime, sharing their courageous journey of raising a son born with profound disabilities who defied medical odds to live 37 inspiring years.

The show also looks ahead to the Tunnels to Towers "Steel Across America" event at Emma Booker Elementary in Sarasota with former White House Chief of Staff Andy Card, commemorating the 9/11 attacks with a World Trade Center steel beam. Additional segments cover the strong start of the Tampa Bay Rays, potential new stadium developments, and updates on Cuba. Throughout, Bunkley weaves together themes of the sanctity of life, God’s faithfulness, national rededication, and remembering America’s heroes.

Global Negotiations, Shutdown Drama & Tampa Bay Shakeups

Thu, 14 May 2026 21:33:15 +0000

Big political stories, Florida headlines, and major developments are all on the agenda for today’s show. We start with the latest from the international stage as Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping hold two hours of negotiations amid ongoing concerns surrounding trade relations, economic competition, and geopolitical strategy. We break down the significance of the meeting, the possible outcomes, and how both nations may be positioning themselves heading into future negotiations.

In Washington, Senator John Kennedy is making headlines with a proposal aimed at stopping senators and members of Congress from getting paid during federal government shutdowns. The debate has reignited conversations about accountability in Congress, federal spending battles, and whether lawmakers should share in the financial consequences experienced by government employees during shutdown periods. We’ll discuss the political implications and the reaction from both supporters and critics.

Meanwhile in Florida, trouble is brewing once again for plans involving a new Tampa Bay Rays stadium. State funding for the project has reportedly hit another obstacle, raising fresh concerns about the future of the development, taxpayer involvement, and whether the deal can survive increasing political and financial scrutiny. We examine the latest developments and what they could mean for the future of baseball in the Tampa Bay region.

We also discuss Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco announcing that he may soon be stepping away from his current role while exploring another professional opportunity outside traditional law enforcement. His potential departure marks a major shift in local leadership and has already sparked speculation about what comes next for both Nocco and the sheriff’s office.

In addition to these top stories, today’s episode features political analysis, statewide developments, national headlines, and much more you won’t want to miss.

Florida Power & Politics: Budget Battles, Washington Wake-Up Calls, Trump’s China Trip & DeSantis 2028 Talk

Tue, 12 May 2026 21:29:02 +0000

On today’s program, Bill breaks down the biggest political headlines shaping Florida and the nation as the Florida Legislature officially begins its high-stakes budget session. What priorities are lawmakers fighting over, where is your tax money headed, and how could the final budget impact everyday Floridians? Bill takes a closer look at the political maneuvering happening behind the scenes in Tallahassee and why this legislative session matters more than ever.

The show also turns the spotlight on civic awareness with an important question for every voter: Do you know the name of your Congressperson, your State Senator, or your State Representative? Bill discusses why understanding who represents you is critical to protecting your voice, your community, and your future. From local concerns to national policy battles, elected officials have enormous influence over the issues that affect your daily life — but too many Americans remain disconnected from the political process.

Plus, President Donald Trump departs for China in a trip that could carry major implications for trade, diplomacy, global economics, and the 2026 political landscape. Bill examines what this visit could mean for U.S.-China relations and how both supporters and critics are reacting across the political spectrum.

The conversation also heats up with growing speculation surrounding Governor Ron DeSantis and the possibility of another run for President of the United States. Could DeSantis re-emerge as a major force on the national stage? Bill shares insights into Florida’s political influence, the future of conservative leadership, and how the Republican landscape may be evolving heading into the next election cycle.

All this and much more on today’s fast-paced and thought-provoking program covering Florida politics, national headlines, voter engagement, leadership, and the issues driving conversations across America.

Florida Budget Battles, Global Flashpoints & the High-Stakes World of Sports Gambling

Mon, 11 May 2026 21:19:37 +0000

On today’s show, Bill takes listeners through another packed and fast-moving news cycle with in-depth analysis, strong commentary, and conversations covering some of the most important political and international stories making headlines right now. The program begins in Florida, where lawmakers are preparing for yet another attempt to break the ongoing deadlock over the state budget. Bill examines the political maneuvering taking place behind closed doors in Tallahassee, the divisions between legislative leaders, and what another delay could mean for Florida residents, state priorities, infrastructure projects, education funding, and taxpayers across the state. With tensions continuing to rise among Republican leadership, the budget fight has become one of the most closely watched political battles in Florida this year.

The discussion then turns to escalating international tensions as Iran reportedly shows no interest in accepting former President Donald Trump’s proposed peace terms, raising new concerns about instability in the Middle East and the future of U.S.-Iran relations. Bill breaks down the geopolitical implications, the reactions from world leaders, and how these developments could impact global security, energy markets, and America’s foreign policy strategy moving forward. Listeners will also hear analysis surrounding the broader climate of unrest and diplomatic uncertainty developing across several international hotspots.

In another major story, Bill covers the horrifying terrorist attack in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Islamic militants attacked Christian civilians near the Ugandan border, killing at least 40 people in a brutal act of violence that has shocked the region. He discusses the growing threat posed by extremist groups operating in central Africa, the humanitarian concerns surrounding continued violence against religious communities, and why many of these deadly attacks receive limited international attention despite their devastating impact.

Later in the show, Bill welcomes author Danny Funt to discuss his widely talked-about new book, EVERYBODY LOSES: The Tumultuous Rise of Sports Gambling. The conversation explores the explosive growth of legalized sports betting in America and how gambling has rapidly transformed professional sports, media coverage, advertising, fan culture, and the business of entertainment. Bill and Funt also examine the darker side of the industry, including addiction concerns, the normalization of betting among younger audiences, and the enormous financial forces driving the gambling boom across the country. Plus, listeners can expect additional breaking news, cultural commentary, political insights, and the candid discussions that make the show a must-listen every day.

Global Tensions and American Turning Points

Thu, 07 May 2026 21:21:46 +0000

On today’s show, Bill Bunkley delivers an in-depth look at the stories, trends, and conversations shaping America and the world. The program opens with a powerful discussion on “The Nation Prays,” examining the growing role of faith, prayer, and spiritual reflection during a time marked by political division, economic uncertainty, and international unrest. Bill explores why many Americans are turning back toward faith communities and spiritual guidance as the nation searches for stability, hope, and direction in a rapidly changing culture.

The show also takes a closer look at the escalating tensions involving Iran and the increasingly complicated geopolitical challenges unfolding in the Middle East. Bill breaks down the latest developments, the global implications of rising instability, and how international leaders are responding as concerns grow over security, diplomacy, energy markets, and the potential for wider regional conflict. Listeners will gain insight into the political strategies, historical context, and global consequences surrounding one of the world’s most sensitive international flashpoints.

Closer to home, Bill examines the ongoing debate over a proposed new Rays stadium and the financial questions surrounding the project. Who benefits? Who pays? And what does it mean for taxpayers, local businesses, and the future of professional sports in the region? The discussion covers public funding concerns, economic promises, political negotiations, and the growing demand for accountability as community leaders and residents weigh the costs and benefits of a major development project that could reshape the local landscape for decades to come.

The program also highlights encouraging reports that Christian churches may be experiencing a resurgence in attendance, engagement, and cultural relevance across parts of America. Bill discusses what may be driving this renewed interest in church communities, especially among younger generations searching for connection, purpose, and truth in an increasingly digital and disconnected world. The conversation explores how churches are adapting to cultural changes while attempting to rebuild influence and strengthen communities through faith, outreach, and service.

In addition, today’s show reflects on the extraordinary media legacy and transformation of Ted Turner, the broadcasting pioneer who forever changed television news and global media. Bill looks back at Turner’s groundbreaking vision, the rise of 24-hour news coverage, and how the modern media landscape continues to evolve in the age of streaming, digital platforms, and nonstop information. The discussion examines how media influence, public trust, and communication itself have dramatically transformed over the decades.

Along with these major topics, listeners can expect thoughtful commentary and analysis on local, national, and international headlines making news today. From politics and culture to faith, business, sports, and world affairs, Bill Bunkley brings perspective, insight, and conversation to the stories people are talking about right now.

Kyle Warren sits in for Bill Bunkley on this action-packed edition of The Bill Bunkley Show. In a wide-ranging briefing, Kyle breaks down the biggest stories of the day: Pete Hegseth facing tough questions on Capitol Hill about the Iran conflict, including the pointed query “Who are you cheering for?” and “What would you pay to ensure Iran never gets a nuclear bomb?” He discusses the Federal Reserve’s decision to hold interest rates steady amid internal division, the U.S. Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling striking down Louisiana’s race-based congressional redistricting map as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander, and ongoing developments with redistricting battles in Texas and Virginia that could reshape the midterms.

Additional highlights include sharp commentary on Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey over his “8647” Instagram post, the settlement won by a Christian school in Vermont after being banned from sports and academics for refusing to compete against a transgender athlete, massive government fraud exposed in Minnesota, and the UAE’s departure from OPEC with potential major impacts on future oil prices. Kyle also reflects on the importance of assimilation, the dangers of identity politics, and the need for thoughtful constitutional governance over emotional political reactions. A must-listen episode at the intersection of faith, culture, and current events.

Title Options: What a Difference a Day Makes: Ceasefire Extension, Iranian Executions Halted, and the Battle for Truth in America Kyle Warren on the Bill Bunkley Show: Iran Update, Trump’s Peace Push, Virginia Redistricting, and Standing on God’s Promises Breaking Down the Iran Ceasefire Timeline, Media Bias, and Why America Must Stay Vigilant – The Briefing with Kyle Warren

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 21:22:24 +0000

In this powerful episode of The Bill Bunkley Show, guest host Kyle Warren delivers a timely and insightful briefing on rapidly evolving global and domestic events. Highlighting the dramatic shift from yesterday’s discussions, Kyle explores President Trump’s 11th-hour extension of the ceasefire with a fractured Iranian regime, now clarified with a tight 3-to-5-day window for a unified peace proposal. He shines a light on the regime’s brutality—canceled executions of eight women who dared protest—and warns against viewing Iran as an underdog, emphasizing the hardline IRGC influence and the regime’s true nature. Kyle and callers John and Robert unpack the unholy alliance between the Iranian regime, the American left, and legacy media, which they argue is rooting against U.S. success to undermine Trump, while celebrating America’s potential role in liberating the Iranian people and reshaping the Middle East for peace and freedom. The conversation shifts to critical domestic battles, including Virginia’s razor-thin redistricting vote that could hand Democrats extra House seats through 2030, Hakeem Jeffries’ aggressive “maximum warfare” rhetoric against Florida Republicans, and ongoing fraud revelations involving the Southern Poverty Law Center. Interwoven with faith, the episode features President Trump’s powerful reading from 2 Chronicles 7—especially the beloved promise of 2 Chronicles 7:14—reminding listeners of God’s call to humility, prayer, and national healing. With open phone lines, thoughtful caller insights on realignment, propaganda, and long-term perspective, this episode blends breaking news, cultural commentary, and biblical truth at the intersection of faith and life.

Trump Extends Iran Ceasefire as Hardliners Emerge: Blockade Holds, Virginia Votes Today | The Briefing

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 21:22:33 +0000

in this dynamic Tuesday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, Kyle Warren sits in for Bill and delivers a comprehensive briefing on rapidly evolving global and domestic headlines. With the Iran ceasefire originally set to expire, President Trump announces its extension while maintaining a powerful naval blockade—squeezing Iran's economy and military resupply as hardliners like Vahidi consolidate power and the Supreme Leader's status remains uncertain. Kyle breaks down the strategic implications, the role of China and Russia, the effectiveness of precision strikes, and why a strong America must continue acting as a force for good without endless wars.

Closer to home, the program spotlights Virginia's pivotal redistricting referendum, where voters decide on a measure critics say is a blatant Democratic power grab designed to "stand up to Trump" and reshape congressional maps through 2030. Energetic callers like Todd and Brandon Rimes sound off on socialism's failures, the need to protect women's sports, election integrity, and the importance of turning out to vote No. The conversation contrasts political maneuvering with timeless truth, featuring passionate discussion on the Pope's role, church mission versus politics, and why the president’s duty to protect the nation aligns with biblical principles of justice and defense.

Interwoven throughout is the inspiring "America Reads the Bible" initiative, with live readings from the genealogies of Chronicles reminding listeners of God's sovereign hand through history and the enduring power of proclaiming the full counsel of Scripture. From consumer spending green shoots to critiques of Obama-era Iran policy and Democratic rhetoric, this episode blends sharp analysis, faith encouragement, and a clear call to stand firm for truth, liberty, and a safer world.

Faith, Markets & Justice: Oil Rallies, Charlie Kirk Trial Cameras, SCOTUS Wins & DeSantis' Bold Moves

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 19:37:12 +0000

Join Bill Bunkley for this Friday afternoon briefing from the studios in Tampa, Florida, as he explores the intersection of faith, current events, and culture. With oil prices easing and stock markets rallying on tentative positive developments from the Iranian conflict and the Strait of Hormuz, Bill discusses how President Trump's leadership is creating a brighter financial outlook, including ships unloading crude and natural gas in America.

He dives deep into the ongoing trial of the accused assassin of Charlie Kirk in Utah, arguing strongly for live cameras in the courtroom—drawing a biblical parallel between public sin and the need for public accountability, especially since the assassination was witnessed by thousands (and millions via live broadcast). Bill honors the wishes of Erica Kirk and emphasizes justice for this prominent national leader.

Other highlights include:

Growing anti-Israel sentiment in Congress and among younger Americans, with Bill affirming his strong support for Israel as a Christian Zionist grounded in Scripture.
A conversation with Jeff Johnston from Focus on the Family's Daily Citizen about two major Supreme Court victories: one protecting parental rights and teacher free speech in California transgender notification cases, and another striking down therapy bans for minors struggling with same-sex attraction or gender confusion in Colorado—huge wins for families, religious freedom, and free speech.
An in-depth interview with Dr. Ted Baehr of MovieGuide.org on what makes a successful film, the 150 criteria for great storytelling, character arcs, worldview, and why Christians represent a key audience for family-friendly and faith-based movies.
Updates on Florida politics: Gov. Ron DeSantis' push for an AI Bill of Rights, easier vaccine opt-outs for parents, congressional redistricting, and concerns over Republican gridlock ahead of midterms.
Invitation to the 33rd Annual National Day of Prayer Brunch in Tampa on May 7th with special guest Kelvin Cochran.
Plus, a reminder about Florida's strict new lawn watering rules and fire danger, and encouragement to try Rough Greens for healthier pets.

Throughout, Bill weaves in biblical principles on sin/confession, blessing Israel, parental authority, and cultural engagement. Call in at 877-943-9673 to share your thoughts on cameras in the Kirk trial or selling military assets to Israel. Tune in weekdays at 3 PM on Let's Talk Faith or catch the full show for thoughtful, faith-informed analysis of the day's biggest stories.

Iran Ceasefire Expires Wednesday: Trump’s High-Stakes Deadline, Midterm Fraud Avalanche, Moon Views & the Full Counsel of God | Kyle Warren on The Briefing

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 21:20:45 +0000

On this Monday, April 20th edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, Kyle Warren sits in for Bill and delivers a powerful afternoon Briefing packed with timely insights. With the U.S.-Iran ceasefire set to expire this Wednesday, Kyle breaks down the hardliners’ doubling down in the IRGC, the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz blockade, President Trump’s “lots of bombs” warning if no deal is reached, and the hope for true regime change that would liberate the Iranian people.

He also examines the growing revelations of Democrat corruption—including the Eric Swalwell scandal and self-serving moves in California’s jungle primary—while warning of redistricting games in Virginia and the urgent need to expose widespread election fraud ahead of the midterms. Kyle stresses that failure is not an option: conservatives must treat the midterms like a presidential election to protect Trump’s agenda and expand majorities.

Interwoven with faith and wonder, the show celebrates NASA’s Artemis II astronauts capturing stunning iPhone photos from the far side of the Moon (with Earth and Venus in view), reflecting on Psalm 19—“The heavens declare the glory of God”—and the inspiring public reading of the entire Bible at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. (featuring readings from Judges on Gideon’s fleece and victory). Listener calls add depth on moon-landing skeptics, Trump’s tactical patience with Iran, and the unchanging goodness of Jesus.

A must-listen for anyone seeking unfiltered truth at the intersection of faith, current events, and America’s future. Tune in weekdays at 3 PM on letstalkfaith.com.

Tampa Bay Rays Stadium Showdown: Taxpayer Billions, Traffic Chaos, and a June Deadline in Hillsborough County

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 21:20:23 +0000

In this timely edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, Bill dives deep into the just-concluded Hillsborough County Commission workshop on the Tampa Bay Rays' ambitious proposal for a brand-new $2.3 billion state-of-the-art stadium on the footprint of Hillsborough Community College's Dale Mabry campus in Tampa. With the Rays ownership committing to roughly half the cost, the debate centers on over $1 billion in potential public funding — including $750 million from county sources like the Community Investment Tax (CIT) — amid vocal opposition, threats of lawsuits, traffic concerns along Dale Mabry and surrounding routes, and questions about economic returns, hotels, retail, and creating a major sports complex near Raymond James Stadium and Steinbrenner Field. Bill weighs the pros and cons of keeping MLB in the Tampa Bay area versus the risks to taxpayers and daily commuters, while noting the tight June 1 deadline and upcoming Tampa City Council discussions.

The show also features an exclusive interview with former U.S. Congressman Bob Livingston, author of the powerful new memoir The Rainbow Chaser: The Man Who Gambled for Success and Broke Even. Livingston shares his firsthand battle against weaponized lawfare by the Biden-Garland Justice Department, abuses of prosecutorial power, deep state tactics, and his proposals for holding rogue prosecutors accountable — drawing parallels to cases involving President Trump and others. Plus, breaking news on President Trump's announcement of a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, updates on the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, a special segment with Dr. Dennis Black of Rough Greens on improving your dogs' and cats' health with live nutrients, and positive notes on the Tampa Bay Lightning and Rays' strong starts.

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 21:23:46 +0000

On today’s explosive episode of The Bill Bunkley Show, Bill dives deep into the escalating global tensions as the United States considers or implements a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the critical chokepoint that controls nearly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Is this a necessary national security move or a dangerous escalation that could send energy prices skyrocketing?

From insider trading scandals to special exemptions, the arrogance in the halls of power is getting harder to ignore.

Rice joins the show to discuss his bold and provocative new book “The White Privileged Album” — a no-holds-barred cultural and political commentary that challenges today’s dominant narratives on race, privilege, and identity in America.

Iran Ceasefire: Buying Time or Path to Regime Change? Trump, Prophecy, and Cross-Aisle Talk on Faith & Politics

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 21:30:26 +0000

Join Bill Bunkley on this edition of The Briefing (Wednesday, April 8, 2026) as he unpacks a fast-moving 24 hours of news from a Christian conservative perspective. Bill analyzes the latest Iran ceasefire—speculating on whether it's another delay tactic by the Ayatollahs or a real opening, the plight of the Iranian people (including the underground church growth), Israel's continued operations, and the Strait of Hormuz shipping risks. He questions if the job is truly finished and explores Old Testament prophecies involving Persia (modern Iran) in Ezekiel 38-39.

Bill also sits down with longtime friend and conservative Democrat strategist Mark Hennessey, executive director of the Hillsborough Society. They discuss the Democratic Party's shift from conservative/moderate roots to far-left woke control, the cost of staying principled, and how the Hillsborough Society is building a coalition of pragmatic, working-class-focused Democrats and unions tired of extremism.

Additional highlights: A caller weighs in on finishing the job with Iran; concerns over NATO allies' lack of support amid the crisis (including fertilizer and oil implications); Byron Donalds' record $22.2 million Q1 fundraising haul (totaling over $67 million) as the Trump-endorsed frontrunner for Florida governor; and a helpful Medicare Advantage segment with Fernando Suspedes and a real listener testimony about better coverage, lower costs, and $185 monthly Social Security cashback.

At the intersection of faith and life, this episode blends current events, biblical insight, political education, and practical advice. Tune in for thoughtful analysis, calls from listeners, and encouragement rooted in a Christian worldview.

Listen weekdays at 3 PM on Let's Talk Faith or your favorite podcast platform.

Trump's 8 PM Iran Ultimatum: Peace Through Strength or Showdown at the Strait of Hormuz?

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 21:56:34 +0000

On this consequential Tuesday, April 7, 2026, Bill Bunkley delivers a powerful edition of The Briefing from the studios of FaithTalk Tampa. With less than five hours until President Donald J. Trump's 8 p.m. EDT deadline, all eyes turn to the Strait of Hormuz and the Iranian regime. The President has issued a firm ultimatum: reopen the vital waterway to all traffic and meet ceasefire conditions, or face devastating strikes on Iran's power plants and bridges. As B-52 bombers reportedly head toward potential targets, Bill highlights the critical role of Tampa Bay's own MacDill Air Force Base—home to U.S. Central Command and U.S. Special Operations Command—in coordinating operations that protect American interests and promote peace through strength. He pauses to lift up in prayer the brave service members, civilian contractors, and tanker crews working extended hours, asking God for clarity, rest, and precision in their mission. The show also celebrates the triumphant return journey of NASA's Artemis II mission, with the Orion spacecraft "Integrity" setting new distance records far beyond the Moon and showcasing Florida's proud contributions to space exploration. Listeners hear encouragement to join the 33rd Annual Tampa Bay National Day of Prayer Brunch on May 7 at Armature Works, featuring keynote speaker Kelvin Cochran (former Atlanta Fire Chief and Alliance Defending Freedom leader), under the theme "Seeking Him in All Generations" from 1 Chronicles 16:24. With open phone lines at 877-943-9673, Bill invites your thoughts on this pivotal moment in history, the spiritual battle underlying global conflicts, and how believers can stand in prayer for our nation, military, and a much-needed great awakening.

TSA Meltdown & Senate Games: Trump Steps In as House Holds the Line

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 20:29:41 +0000

In this Friday afternoon edition of The Briefing on The Bill Bunkley Show, Kyle Warren sits in for Bill Bunkley and breaks down the fast-moving chaos surrounding the partial DHS funding bill.

The Senate passed a last-minute partial funding measure in the early morning hours that keeps TSA operational but leaves key ICE enforcement and certain CBP activities — including child trafficking investigations — unfunded. House Speaker Mike Johnson strongly rejected the bill, calling it “the most reckless thing we’ve ever seen” and refusing to let the Senate jam it through before Easter recess.

While Congress plays political games, President Trump has stepped in decisively with an executive order directing new DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin to pay TSA workers and declaring an emergency at the nation’s airports due to massive security lines and hundreds of agents walking off or calling in sick.

Kyle unpacks the real stakes: the impact on national security, why Democrats are pushing “reforms” that critics say are designed to weaken ICE, and how House Republicans are standing on principle to fully fund critical protections Americans expect. The conversation also covers growing frustration over border enforcement, fraud in government spending, and how these issues are setting up “commercials that write themselves” for the midterms.

In the second half of the show, the tone shifts to faith and culture. MovieGuide’s Evie Bear Carroll reviews inspiring and wholesome films, including the documentary “The First Hymn” about the oldest known Christian worship song, the comedy “Holy Days,” and the wholesome prequel “Hope Valley 1874.” Dr. Joni DiBrito from Focus on the Family joins to discuss finding hope in Christ’s suffering and practical ways to support others through difficult times.

Throughout the episode, Kyle takes listener calls, reflects on the power of prayer, and reminds listeners of the upcoming Tampa Bay National Day of Prayer Brunch. The show blends timely political analysis with a strong faith perspective, encouraging listeners to stand on principle even in turbulent times.

Democrats Play Politics While TSA Lines Grow and America Waits – Plus Urgent Call to Vote in FL Senate District 14"

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 21:31:20 +0000

Bill Bunkley delivers a hard-hitting look at the ongoing partial government shutdown now stretching into its sixth week. With long TSA security lines frustrating travelers nationwide, Bill exposes what he calls a blatant political charade by Democrats in the Senate who refuse a clean funding package for the Department of Homeland Security—while ICE enforcement and removal operations remain deliberately underfunded. He breaks down the latest White House and Senate developments, the filibuster games, and why this standoff is hurting dedicated federal workers and national security at a critical time.

Bill also turns his attention to the special election happening today in Florida State Senate District 14 (covering parts of Hillsborough, Pinellas, Polk, and Pasco counties). Drawing from his own past campaign experience, he delivers a passionate endorsement for conservative Republican candidate Josie Tomkoff and explains the impressive grassroots operation behind her campaign. He urges every conservative, Republican, and Christ-following voter in the district to get to the polls by 7:00 p.m.—or be in line by 7:00 p.m.—reminding listeners that primaries and special elections are decided by those who actually show up.

In the second hour, Bill analyzes President Trump’s strategic five-day pause in operations against Iran, the brilliant incremental approach to negotiations, the role of the USS Tripoli and Marines, oil market implications, and the complex ethnic dynamics involving Persians and Kurds. He also highlights Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd’s open invitation for unpaid TSA and ICE agents to join his department, celebrates Florida’s leading role in illegal immigration enforcement under Governor DeSantis, and discusses the costly Republican infighting in Tallahassee over the state budget.

Throughout the show, Bill opens the phone lines for your thoughts at 877-943-9673 and reminds listeners that we get the government we deserve when we vote our values. Faith, freedom, and civic duty intersect in today’s urgent Briefing.
