Bill Bunkley

Bill discusses the fast-tracked Florida constitutional amendment that could exempt up to $250,000 in homestead property value from taxes starting in 2028. He explores the pros and cons—personal tax savings versus accelerated population growth, strained infrastructure, and potential complications for the Tampa Bay Rays stadium deal. Listeners weigh in on DeSantis’ leadership, government efficiency, and fiscal responsibility. The show also covers Florida Attorney General James Uthmeyer’s lawsuit against OpenAI/ChatGPT over dangerous content for minors, a 30% rise in human trafficking ahead of the World Cup, President Trump’s latest comments on Iran, and a heartfelt conversation with author Marcy Gorley about her inspiring book “250 Great Things About America.”

In this June 2, 2026 episode of The Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley delivers a fast-paced Christian conservative briefing from Tampa. The show breaks down the Florida Legislature’s lightning-fast passage of a major property tax relief measure that will appear on the November 2026 ballot — including changes to homestead exemptions rising to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, plus a new 5% cap on non-homestead properties and restrictions on how remaining tax revenue can be used. Bunkley also addresses recent violent teen takeovers in Polk County and Clearwater Beach, issuing strong calls for parental responsibility and zero-tolerance law enforcement responses. He provides practical hurricane preparedness tips for Florida residents as the season approaches. The powerful second hour features an emotional interview with retired Navy Lieutenant Commander Thomas E. Caldwell, who shares his harrowing true story of pre-dawn FBI raid, solitary confinement, and persecution after attending the January 6, 2021 rally. Caldwell discusses his book The Mouths of the Wicked, detailing government overreach, faith under fire, and ultimate victory through clemency.

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.:

In this powerful Thursday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show on Faith Talk Tampa / letstalkfaith.com, hosts Bill Bunkley and overnight anchor Kyle Warren dedicate the entire broadcast to an urgent “Ultrasound Sprint to the Finish Line” for the Preborn Network and Apprentice Care Centers serving Central Florida. With only two days left in their May campaign, the team has already provided 252 free ultrasound sessions for women, teenagers, and college students facing unplanned pregnancies, but they still need 133 more to reach their goal of 385 total sessions. At just $28 per ultrasound, they are calling on listeners — especially Christ followers and conservatives — to help raise the remaining $3,743 to cross the finish line.

Throughout the heartfelt broadcast, Bill and Kyle share moving real-life testimonies from women like Leslie, Michelle, Elizabeth, and Chandra who experienced deep regret, depression, substance abuse, and long-term emotional trauma after abortions, emphasizing how a single ultrasound and compassionate counseling can change the trajectory of lives by revealing the truth of the unborn child’s heartbeat and humanity. They highlight the comprehensive support Preborn provides — not just ultrasounds, but up to two years of practical help including counseling, material assistance, and adoption options — all without judgment, only love and hope rooted in Christian faith.

The show features repeated calls to action, leadership gift challenges ($500 for 18 ultrasounds, $1,000 for 36, or a single major gift to cover the full remainder), and special thanks to early donor Helene from Sarasota. With a strong appeal to both faith and conservative values, the hosts stress the importance of not leaving any ultrasound session behind, countering cultural pressures, and standing for life in a post-Roe world. Listeners are encouraged to call 833-850-2229 or visit letstalkfaith.com to donate quickly and anonymously, with every dollar going directly to life-saving services in the I-4 corridor and surrounding areas.

In this inspiring and emotionally charged special edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, Bill Bunkley and co-host Kyle Warren dedicate the entire broadcast to the “Ultrasound Sprint to the Finish Line” — a powerful pro-life initiative supporting the Preborn Network of pregnancy care centers throughout Central Florida. With their May goal of 385 ultrasounds nearly within reach, the team rallies listeners as only 143 sessions remain, urgently calling on the community to help provide free ultrasounds to women facing unplanned pregnancies. At just $28 per ultrasound, donors can offer a life-changing gift that allows mothers to see their baby on screen and hear its heartbeat — a moment that statistically leads 80% of women to choose life over abortion.

The program is filled with heartfelt testimonies, including a moving appearance by Greg Elie, who shares the deeply personal story of his late wife Marie and plays her powerful pro-life song “See the Truth,” written from the perspective of an unborn child. The broadcast also features an insightful interview with former Florida House Representative and congressional candidate Mike Beltran, a constitutional originalist, Eagle Scout, and passionate defender of life, who discusses his commitment to pro-life values and his campaign for Florida’s 14th Congressional District.

Blending faith, compassion, urgency, and conservative principles, this special programming emphasizes that each ultrasound is truly a matter of life and death. It highlights how these resources provide not only medical clarity but also ongoing support, parenting classes, and the love of Christ to women who often feel scared and alone. Bill and Kyle passionately encourage listeners to act — whether through a single $28 gift, multiple ultrasounds, or generous leadership donations — to cross the finish line and impact generations right here in Central Florida.

In this inspiring and emotionally charged broadcast of the Bill Bunkley Show on Salem Radio’s Faith Talk Tampa, Bill Bunkley leads a passionate “Ultrasound Sprint to the Finish Line” campaign in support of Pre-born network pregnancy care centers throughout Central Florida. Reflecting on Memorial Day, the sacrifices of Gold Star families, the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and the 25th anniversary of 9/11, Bill calls listeners to appreciate life and freedom while focusing on the pro-life mission. With 168 ultrasounds still needed to reach the monthly goal of 385, each ultrasound made possible by a $28 gift, the program features powerful testimonies, urgent calls to action, and a special in-studio guest — Mark Stoker of Care Team Home Care.

Mark shares a moving story about the ripple effect of one life saved and makes a generous $1,500 donation for 54 ultrasounds, followed by a $1,000 matching challenge until 6 PM. Bill highlights how a single free ultrasound allows a woman facing an unplanned pregnancy to see her baby and hear its heartbeat — a game-changing moment that leads approximately 80% of mothers to choose life. The broadcast includes touching personal reflections on motherhood, Bill’s own health journey and appreciation for his mother, Mark’s tribute to his pro-life mother, and the stories of well-known figures who were almost aborted but survived: Tim Tebow, Stephen Curry, Andrea Bocelli, Steve Jobs, and Nick Cannon.

Throughout the show, Bill emphasizes redemption and healing for those who regret past abortions, the long-term support pregnancy centers provide (up to two years of counseling, parenting classes, and material help), and the importance of legacy giving. Listeners are encouraged to respond with one-time gifts, monthly pledges, or leadership donations via 833-850-BABY (833-850-2229) or LetsTalkFaith.com.

On today’s show, Bill delivers an in-depth breakdown of one of the most significant local government decisions in recent Tampa Bay history as the Tampa City Council holds its final deliberations on the proposed Memorandum of Understanding for the Tampa Bay Rays new stadium project. Listeners will get full context on what this MOU entails, the potential impacts on taxpayers, downtown development, traffic, tourism, and the future of professional baseball in the region.

Bill also takes time to remember and honor the late Frank Morsani, the respected Tampa civic leader and businessman who fought tirelessly for decades to bring Major League Baseball to Tampa. Morsani was repeatedly misled and strung along by Major League Baseball executives with promises of an expansion team, only to face disappointment after disappointment despite his substantial efforts and investments. His story serves as a powerful reminder of the complex relationship between local leaders, sports franchises, and league politics.

In addition, the show features a detailed legislative update on the ongoing 2026/2027 Florida state budget negotiations, covering key sticking points, funding priorities, potential cuts or increases affecting the Tampa Bay area, education, infrastructure, and economic development. Bill explains how these high-stakes talks in Tallahassee could directly impact local residents, businesses, and communities in the coming years.

As always, the program rounds out with a comprehensive review of the top local and world news stories that matter most to Tampa Bay listeners. From regional politics and economic developments to international headlines affecting Florida, Bill provides clear, no-nonsense analysis, important background context, and straightforward commentary you won’t hear on corporate media outlets.

Whether you’re a dedicated Tampa Bay Rays fan, a concerned taxpayer, a downtown resident, or simply someone who wants to stay well-informed about what’s happening in your backyard and beyond, this episode is essential listening. Tune in for thoughtful discussion, historical perspective, and the latest updates that directly affect life in the Tampa Bay area.

On the Wednesday, May 20, 2026 edition of The Bill Bunkley Show on Faith Talk Tampa / Salem Radio, veteran host Bill Bunkley delivers a jam-packed afternoon broadcast blending major local breaking news, biblical prophecy, national politics, and a heartfelt pro-life appeal. The show leads with exciting Hillsborough County news as the County Commission voted 5-2 to approve the Memorandum of Understanding for a transformative new $2.3 billion indoor Tampa Bay Rays baseball stadium in Drew Park, Tampa — a long-awaited step after 16 years of efforts led by Chairman Ken Hagan to bring Major League Baseball back across the bay from St. Petersburg. Bill provides in-depth context on the project’s economic benefits, multi-use development potential, public funding details, and the upcoming Tampa City Council vote.

In the second half of the program, Bill sits down with author, illustrator, and animation producer Todd Hampson to discuss his latest book, The Non-Prophet’s Guide to the Rapture. They explore the often-intimidating topic of Bible prophecy in an accessible, visual, and conversational way — covering the different views on the Rapture, its biblical foundation, church history, the Olivet Discourse, signs of the times, Israel’s role, and why the Rapture remains the “blessed hope” for believers. Todd shares insights from his award-winning animation background and explains how the book uses humor, charts, timelines, and illustrations to make end-times theology understandable for both new believers and seasoned Christians alike.

Politically, Bill celebrates President Donald Trump’s dominant 37-0 sweep of endorsed candidates in the previous night’s Republican primaries across multiple states, including the defeat of longtime Congressman Thomas Massie in Kentucky. He also discusses the Trump administration’s indictment of 94-year-old former Cuban President Raul Castro for the 1996 shoot-down of civilian aircraft, along with ongoing developments in Cuba.

Throughout the broadcast, Bill passionately urges listeners to support the Pre-Born ultrasound campaign, aiming for 385 free ultrasounds for women and teens facing unplanned pregnancies in Central Florida. He emphasizes the life-saving impact of ultrasounds (with an 80% choose-life rate), the broader cultural importance of increasing America’s declining birth rate (currently below replacement level at 1.79), and the long-term legacy of strengthening families and future generations through pro-life support.

This episode beautifully weaves together faith, local Tampa Bay pride, conservative values, biblical teaching, and practical calls to action — making it a must-listen for listeners interested in current events through a distinctly Christian worldview.

In this powerful Tuesday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley breaks down a surprising opinion piece from Tampa Bay Times Chairman & CEO Conan Gallaty strongly urging Tampa and Hillsborough leaders to vote yes on the Tampa Bay Rays stadium proposal. He shares key excerpts from the editorial and discusses the economic, accountability, and long-term benefits for the region.

The show also features an in-depth interview with Dr. Gary H. Lovejoy, author of Students in the Lion’s Den, who draws from 30+ years teaching on a secular campus to expose how Christian students are losing their faith in college. Dr. Lovejoy identifies six types of students most vulnerable to secular indoctrination, Marxist/socialist ideology, and spiritual traps — and offers practical advice for parents and grandparents on preparing their children before they step on campus.

Throughout the hour, Bill delivers a heartfelt appeal for the Preborn ministry, emphasizing the critical need to support ultrasound services at Central Florida pregnancy care centers. With abortion rates rising due to mail-order pills, he highlights how a simple $28 ultrasound helps 80% of women choose life after seeing their baby and hearing the heartbeat. Emotional testimonies, including a powerful call from Bob in Sarasota, underscore the lasting impact of abortion regret and the hope of healing and legacy through supporting life.

A must-listen for parents, grandparents, pro-life supporters, and anyone concerned about faith, family, and the future of our communities.

In this powerful edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, broadcast from Tampa, Florida, host Bill Bunkley delivers an inspiring mix of faith, patriotism, and urgent calls to action. The program opens with a heartfelt plea for prayer for President Donald Trump as he navigates critical decisions regarding Iran, while celebrating the historic "Rededicate 250" National Jubilee of Prayer on the National Mall — a nine-hour event of praise and rededication that providentially aligned with the 250th anniversary of a Continental Congress day of fasting and prayer in 1776.

Bunkley passionately urges listeners to support Central Florida pregnancy care centers through the Pre-Born ultrasound campaign, emphasizing that a $28 gift can provide a life-saving ultrasound and that 80% of mothers who see their baby’s heartbeat choose life. The emotional centerpiece features a moving interview with Ken and Mary Sue Grime, authors of Jacob’s Story: The Extraordinary Life of Jacob Grime, sharing their courageous journey of raising a son born with profound disabilities who defied medical odds to live 37 inspiring years.

The show also looks ahead to the Tunnels to Towers "Steel Across America" event at Emma Booker Elementary in Sarasota with former White House Chief of Staff Andy Card, commemorating the 9/11 attacks with a World Trade Center steel beam. Additional segments cover the strong start of the Tampa Bay Rays, potential new stadium developments, and updates on Cuba. Throughout, Bunkley weaves together themes of the sanctity of life, God’s faithfulness, national rededication, and remembering America’s heroes.

Big political stories, Florida headlines, and major developments are all on the agenda for today’s show. We start with the latest from the international stage as Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping hold two hours of negotiations amid ongoing concerns surrounding trade relations, economic competition, and geopolitical strategy. We break down the significance of the meeting, the possible outcomes, and how both nations may be positioning themselves heading into future negotiations.

In Washington, Senator John Kennedy is making headlines with a proposal aimed at stopping senators and members of Congress from getting paid during federal government shutdowns. The debate has reignited conversations about accountability in Congress, federal spending battles, and whether lawmakers should share in the financial consequences experienced by government employees during shutdown periods. We’ll discuss the political implications and the reaction from both supporters and critics.

Meanwhile in Florida, trouble is brewing once again for plans involving a new Tampa Bay Rays stadium. State funding for the project has reportedly hit another obstacle, raising fresh concerns about the future of the development, taxpayer involvement, and whether the deal can survive increasing political and financial scrutiny. We examine the latest developments and what they could mean for the future of baseball in the Tampa Bay region.

We also discuss Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco announcing that he may soon be stepping away from his current role while exploring another professional opportunity outside traditional law enforcement. His potential departure marks a major shift in local leadership and has already sparked speculation about what comes next for both Nocco and the sheriff’s office.

In addition to these top stories, today’s episode features political analysis, statewide developments, national headlines, and much more you won’t want to miss.

On today’s program, Bill breaks down the biggest political headlines shaping Florida and the nation as the Florida Legislature officially begins its high-stakes budget session. What priorities are lawmakers fighting over, where is your tax money headed, and how could the final budget impact everyday Floridians? Bill takes a closer look at the political maneuvering happening behind the scenes in Tallahassee and why this legislative session matters more than ever.

The show also turns the spotlight on civic awareness with an important question for every voter: Do you know the name of your Congressperson, your State Senator, or your State Representative? Bill discusses why understanding who represents you is critical to protecting your voice, your community, and your future. From local concerns to national policy battles, elected officials have enormous influence over the issues that affect your daily life — but too many Americans remain disconnected from the political process.

Plus, President Donald Trump departs for China in a trip that could carry major implications for trade, diplomacy, global economics, and the 2026 political landscape. Bill examines what this visit could mean for U.S.-China relations and how both supporters and critics are reacting across the political spectrum.

The conversation also heats up with growing speculation surrounding Governor Ron DeSantis and the possibility of another run for President of the United States. Could DeSantis re-emerge as a major force on the national stage? Bill shares insights into Florida’s political influence, the future of conservative leadership, and how the Republican landscape may be evolving heading into the next election cycle.

All this and much more on today’s fast-paced and thought-provoking program covering Florida politics, national headlines, voter engagement, leadership, and the issues driving conversations across America.

On today’s show, Bill takes listeners through another packed and fast-moving news cycle with in-depth analysis, strong commentary, and conversations covering some of the most important political and international stories making headlines right now. The program begins in Florida, where lawmakers are preparing for yet another attempt to break the ongoing deadlock over the state budget. Bill examines the political maneuvering taking place behind closed doors in Tallahassee, the divisions between legislative leaders, and what another delay could mean for Florida residents, state priorities, infrastructure projects, education funding, and taxpayers across the state. With tensions continuing to rise among Republican leadership, the budget fight has become one of the most closely watched political battles in Florida this year.

The discussion then turns to escalating international tensions as Iran reportedly shows no interest in accepting former President Donald Trump’s proposed peace terms, raising new concerns about instability in the Middle East and the future of U.S.-Iran relations. Bill breaks down the geopolitical implications, the reactions from world leaders, and how these developments could impact global security, energy markets, and America’s foreign policy strategy moving forward. Listeners will also hear analysis surrounding the broader climate of unrest and diplomatic uncertainty developing across several international hotspots.

In another major story, Bill covers the horrifying terrorist attack in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Islamic militants attacked Christian civilians near the Ugandan border, killing at least 40 people in a brutal act of violence that has shocked the region. He discusses the growing threat posed by extremist groups operating in central Africa, the humanitarian concerns surrounding continued violence against religious communities, and why many of these deadly attacks receive limited international attention despite their devastating impact.

Later in the show, Bill welcomes author Danny Funt to discuss his widely talked-about new book, EVERYBODY LOSES: The Tumultuous Rise of Sports Gambling. The conversation explores the explosive growth of legalized sports betting in America and how gambling has rapidly transformed professional sports, media coverage, advertising, fan culture, and the business of entertainment. Bill and Funt also examine the darker side of the industry, including addiction concerns, the normalization of betting among younger audiences, and the enormous financial forces driving the gambling boom across the country. Plus, listeners can expect additional breaking news, cultural commentary, political insights, and the candid discussions that make the show a must-listen every day.

On today’s show, Bill Bunkley delivers an in-depth look at the stories, trends, and conversations shaping America and the world. The program opens with a powerful discussion on “The Nation Prays,” examining the growing role of faith, prayer, and spiritual reflection during a time marked by political division, economic uncertainty, and international unrest. Bill explores why many Americans are turning back toward faith communities and spiritual guidance as the nation searches for stability, hope, and direction in a rapidly changing culture.

The show also takes a closer look at the escalating tensions involving Iran and the increasingly complicated geopolitical challenges unfolding in the Middle East. Bill breaks down the latest developments, the global implications of rising instability, and how international leaders are responding as concerns grow over security, diplomacy, energy markets, and the potential for wider regional conflict. Listeners will gain insight into the political strategies, historical context, and global consequences surrounding one of the world’s most sensitive international flashpoints.

Closer to home, Bill examines the ongoing debate over a proposed new Rays stadium and the financial questions surrounding the project. Who benefits? Who pays? And what does it mean for taxpayers, local businesses, and the future of professional sports in the region? The discussion covers public funding concerns, economic promises, political negotiations, and the growing demand for accountability as community leaders and residents weigh the costs and benefits of a major development project that could reshape the local landscape for decades to come.

The program also highlights encouraging reports that Christian churches may be experiencing a resurgence in attendance, engagement, and cultural relevance across parts of America. Bill discusses what may be driving this renewed interest in church communities, especially among younger generations searching for connection, purpose, and truth in an increasingly digital and disconnected world. The conversation explores how churches are adapting to cultural changes while attempting to rebuild influence and strengthen communities through faith, outreach, and service.

In addition, today’s show reflects on the extraordinary media legacy and transformation of Ted Turner, the broadcasting pioneer who forever changed television news and global media. Bill looks back at Turner’s groundbreaking vision, the rise of 24-hour news coverage, and how the modern media landscape continues to evolve in the age of streaming, digital platforms, and nonstop information. The discussion examines how media influence, public trust, and communication itself have dramatically transformed over the decades.

Along with these major topics, listeners can expect thoughtful commentary and analysis on local, national, and international headlines making news today. From politics and culture to faith, business, sports, and world affairs, Bill Bunkley brings perspective, insight, and conversation to the stories people are talking about right now. It’s an engaging and informative program covering the issues, ideas, and events shaping our communities, our country, and the world around us.
