Podcasts > The Bill Bunkley Show
Friday, November 13, 2026
Bill Bunkley opens this Friday the 13th edition celebrating beautiful post-front weather in Central Florida and reflecting on two quiet hurricane seasons. He then addresses the major Microsoft outage that disrupted Outlook and Microsoft 365 services the previous day, using it as a wake-up call about society’s deep dependence on technology, cyber vulnerability, the power grid, and potential future blackouts.
Breaking political news includes a public cabinet clash: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent criticizes Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick for delays in restricting advanced Nvidia chip exports to China. Bill also covers President Trump pulling Vice President JD Vance off Iran negotiations and redirecting him to investigate domestic fraud in Democrat-led cities and states, raising questions about loyalty and 2028 ambitions amid Ron DeSantis’s rising profile.
Dr. Ted Baehr (Movie Guide) reviews the UPTV Christmas film A Snow Buddy Like You, discusses the Jimmy Stewart biopic Jimmy, shares behind-the-scenes Johnny Depp / Pirates of the Caribbean stories, and highlights articles on Google/AI in schools and doomscrolling.
