On today's episode of the show, host Bill dives into a whirlwind of pressing national and international developments shaking the world as of March 2026. He breaks down the chilling ISIS-inspired attack near Gracie Mansion in New York City, where authorities have charged suspects with attempting to support the Islamic State after a homemade explosive device was deployed—the first such IED incident in the city in nearly a decade—amid heightened fears of retaliatory terrorism following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. Bill examines the seismic shift in Iran, where Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the recently slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (killed in the opening salvos of the escalating U.S.-Israel-Iran war), has been appointed as the new Supreme Leader by the Assembly of Experts, marking the first hereditary transition in the Islamic Republic's history and signaling hard-line continuity despite ongoing airstrikes and regional chaos. Closer to home in Florida, gas prices have skyrocketed—jumping over 40 cents in a week to averages around $3.35 per gallon—due to global oil market disruptions from the Iran conflict and threats to the Strait of Hormuz, squeezing families, small businesses, and commuters across the state. Bill also highlights Trail Life USA CEO Mark Hancock's strong affirmation of his organization's boy-focused, values-driven mission in response to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's pointed warnings and criticisms directed at the rebranded Boy Scouts of America (now Scouting America), which has faced scrutiny for drifting from its traditional emphasis on masculine character development. Finally, amid the turmoil, Bill explores a hopeful spiritual angle: how the devastation in war-ravaged Iran and Lebanon—following regime instability, Hezbollah setbacks, and widespread unrest—may be creating unprecedented openings for Christian evangelization and the rapid spread of the Gospel in regions long closed to it. Packed with analysis, updates, and much more, this episode connects the dots on how distant conflicts are rippling into everyday American life.

Breaking Global Tensions: ISIS-Inspired Terror in NYC, Iran's New Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, Florida Gas Price Surge, Hegseth's Warning to Boy Scouts, and Evangelism Openings in Iran & Lebanon

Join host Bill Bunkley for a powerful Friday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, broadcast live from Tampa on Let's Talk Faith and Salem Radio stations across Central Florida. At the intersection of faith, current events, and conservative values, Bill delivers timely updates, heartfelt appeals, and encouraging conversations rooted in a Christian worldview.
War in Iran Update — Latest developments as the U.S. and Israel ramp up strikes, Iran's missile launches drop dramatically (by 90%), drone threats persist in the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices surge, and bunker-busting operations target regime leadership. Bill shares strategic insights, prays for troops (including those at CENTCOM in Tampa), and reflects on Gospel opportunities in war-torn regions like Iran and Lebanon.
Urgent Child Rescue Campaign — Partnering with Cross International, the show aims to rescue at least 322 vulnerable children in Malawi, Zambia, and Uganda. Progress update: Over 200 kids already sponsored! For a one-time gift of just $62 per child, provide a year's food (vitamin-fortified rice), clean water via new wells, medical care, trauma counseling for orphans/refugees, Christian education, and a personal Bible. Hear children's own aspirations and join the "VIP heroes" list—call 888-873-1057 or visit letstalkfaith.com (red banner). Momentum is building—help drop the remaining kids into double digits!
Focus on the Family Interview — Old friend Glenn Stanton discusses a surprising national survey on clergy willingness to perform same-sex marriages (even if allowed by their denomination). Eye-opening stats: Strong evangelical resistance (89% no), but concerning openness in some groups, mainline Protestants, and even Catholics. Biblical marriage reaffirmed (Genesis, Jesus in Mark/Matthew, Ephesians).
Movie Guide Awards Special — Dr. Ted Baer reviews the recent gala (aired on Great American Family), highlighting family-friendly, faith-affirming winners like Sarah's Oil, The Last Rodeo, Timeless Tidings of Joy, The Chosen, and more.

War in Iran Escalates, Rescuing Africa's Children, Clergy on Same-Sex Marriage + Movie Guide Awards

In a packed day of developments, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth arrived at U.S. Central Command headquarters in Tampa's MacDill Air Force Base for critical briefings on Operation Epic Fury and ongoing military efforts against Iran, highlighting Florida's key role in national defense strategy. Meanwhile, President Trump has dismissed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem amid mounting controversy and calls for her removal over agency handling of immigration and related issues. Closer to home, Florida's Senate and House remain deeply divided on the FY 2026-27 budget proposals, with the Senate pushing a $115 billion plan and the House at $113.6 billion, signaling tough negotiations ahead as both chambers aim for austerity amid looming deficits. The Florida House has effectively sidelined Governor DeSantis's proposed Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights, declining to advance the measure focused on privacy, parental controls, and consumer protections. On a positive note for agriculture, the USDA has issued a federal disaster declaration for counties hit hard by the historic February freeze, unlocking essential relief for farmers facing billions in crop losses from citrus, berries, and more. Stay tuned for updates on these fast-moving stories shaping Florida and the nation.
