On the Thursday, June 25, 2026 edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley delivers his signature mix of faith, history, conservative insight, and current events as America counts down to the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The episode opens with lively discussion of 4th of July plans, including Bill’s personal deliberations about traveling to Washington D.C. for the massive America 250 celebrations on the National Mall, complete with state booths, fireworks viewed from the Iwo Jima Memorial, and practical Metro and hotel strategies to navigate the crowds.

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.

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.

The episode opens with urgent coverage of Iran downing a U.S. Apache helicopter in international waters over the Strait of Hormuz.

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 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.

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.:
