On the Thursday, June 18, 2026 edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley delivers his signature two-hour briefing from Tampa, Florida, covering the intense heat advisory threatening the Tampa Bay region with feels-like temperatures up to 110 degrees and important hurricane preparedness reminders as Tropical Storm Arthur impacts Texas and Louisiana. The show features an in-depth interview with Florida Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins, who discusses his campaign for governor, his heroic military background as a Green Beret and amputee, strong support for the Second Amendment, protecting Florida farmland and property owners, opposition to foreign land acquisition, and his “Florida Strong” plan addressing AI data centers with critical guardrails on energy, water, and community impact. Additional highlights include analysis of the recent U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding, cautious commentary on the 2028 presidential landscape with JD Vance and Marco Rubio, the emptying of Alligator Alcatraz detention facility ahead of hurricane season, a major legal opinion from Florida’s Attorney General protecting students’ rights to religious instruction during school hours, and a passionate discussion on the San Francisco Giants players who faced MLB backlash for writing Genesis 9 Bible verses on their Pride Night hats. Bill also shares a proud father’s moment celebrating his son Zachary making the Dean’s List while working full-time in the trades.
