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.
