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

Wednesday, August 5, 2026

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

Tuesday, August 4, 2026

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

Monday, August 3, 2026

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.

Bill Bunkley returns to host this Friday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show on the final day of July 2026. The program opens with breaking news of a U.S. Marine Corps F-35B jet crash near Miramar Air Base in San Diego, with the pilot safely ejecting and receiving medical attention.

Bill issues a correction on a previously discussed historical speech attribution and discusses the influence of socialist and communist ideas.

U.S. Congressman Randy Fine (Florida’s 6th District) joins to discuss his accomplishments in Congress (including the Working Families Tax Cut), local infrastructure funding, border security priorities, strong support for Israel, efforts against anti-Semitism, the “Protecting Puppies from Sharia Act,” and the need to defeat DSA-aligned candidates.

Bill provides early voting dates and hours for Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Polk, Hernando, Manatee, and Sarasota counties.

Dr. Joni Debrito (Focus on the Family counseling team) offers practical guidance on recognizing mental health warning signs in spouses and children, how to open caring conversations, and available counseling resources.

The show closes with the launch of the 2026 Food for the Poor campaign to feed underprivileged children in Latin America and the Caribbean ($80 feeds one child for a year, with matching gifts).

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

Thursday, July 30, 2026

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

Wednesday, July 29, 2026

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. Throughout the two-hour broadcast, phone lines remain open at 877-943-9673 and listeners are directed to letstalkfaith.com for archives, upcoming election recommendations, and further resources.

Plus a call to stay vigilant in the midterms against the DSA agenda. Faith, freedom, and the future of the Sunshine State take center stage.

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

Monday, July 27, 2026

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.

On this Thursday, July 16, 2026 edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, Kyle Warren sits in for Bill Bunkley and leads with urgent breaking news out of Ruskin: two Hillsborough County Sheriff’s deputies — Deputy Subfarmanine Munn (shot in the face) and Deputy Colton Daniels (shot in the neck) — were ambushed while responding to an incident.

 In this Wednesday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley delivers his signature blend of faith, conservatism, and straight talk from Tampa. The episode opens with a lighter moment recapping the MLB All-Star Game, the American League’s shutout victory, and relief over Tampa Bay Rays star Junior Caminero’s hand injury after being hit by a pitch. Bill then shifts to urgent updates on a potential tropical system in the Gulf of Mexico bringing heavy rains, followed by in-depth coverage of U.S. CENTCOM strikes on Iranian military targets, naval assets, and the evolving conflict in the Middle East under President Trump.

The heart of the show features a powerful deep-dive analysis of mass Muslim migration in Europe, drawing on CBN’s Dale Hurd to examine 30,000 mosques as modern “Trojan horses,” no-go zones, assimilation failures, rising anti-Semitism, grooming scandals, and warnings of potential civil unrest in Britain and across the continent. Bill connects these trends to U.S. immigration challenges, stresses the importance of cultural assimilation, and reflects on biblical prophecy, end-times signs, and the defense of Christian heritage. The show also promotes the upcoming Freedom Forum 250 event in Sarasota with Mike Gallagher and Hugh Hewitt, takes listener calls, and closes with summer safety reminders and personal updates. A must-listen for those seeking a Christian conservative perspective on current events, geopolitics, and cultural preservation.

Senator Lindsey Graham’s Sudden Passing: Tributes, Faith, Legacy & Darlene Graham Appointed Interim Successor

Monday, July 13, 2026

In this emotional Monday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, the Central Florida-based host and his audience grapple with the shocking news of the sudden passing of longtime South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham following a brief illness. The program features live coverage from the U.S. Senate floor, including heartfelt tributes from Senate colleagues such as Chuck Grassley and Majority Leader John Thune, who highlight Graham’s humble beginnings in a pool hall family, his decades of Air Force and Reserve service as a JAG officer, his role raising his younger sister Darlene after their parents’ deaths, and his lifelong commitment to national security, strong support for Israel, and bipartisan deal-making. The episode captures the raw grief in the Senate chamber, including the black veil and white flowers on Graham’s desk, while exploring his Christian faith, modest net worth after decades in public service, and key legislative legacies like Supreme Court confirmations. Breaking developments include South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster appointing Darlene Graham as interim senator to serve until January 2026, with discussion of her potential run in the upcoming special election. Bill Bunkley weaves in personal reflections, his wife’s interactions with Graham’s staff, commentary on Graham’s humor and constituent focus, and broader conversations on faith, America’s moral foundations, current events involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, local law enforcement incidents, and a heartfelt tribute to the Tampa Bay Rays’ Evan Longoria jersey retirement. This wide-ranging episode blends mourning, patriotism, biblical wisdom from Proverbs, and calls for spiritual revival in a polarized nation.
