Join Bill Bunkley on this Friday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show as he kicks off the weekend with important safety alerts, legislative updates, faith-based discussions, and inspiring interviews.

Bill starts with a major heat dome warning for those heading to Freedom 250 events in D.C., theme parks, or outdoor activities, emphasizing hydration and heat stroke prevention. He also reacts to the U.S. Men's Soccer team's narrow loss to Turkey and discusses context around player substitutions.

The Briefing: Heat Dome Safety Warning, New Florida Laws July 1st, Faith in Sports Controversy

On the Thursday, June 25, 2026 edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley delivers his signature mix of faith, history, conservative insight, and current events as America counts down to the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The episode opens with lively discussion of 4th of July plans, including Bill’s personal deliberations about traveling to Washington D.C. for the massive America 250 celebrations on the National Mall, complete with state booths, fireworks viewed from the Iwo Jima Memorial, and practical Metro and hotel strategies to navigate the crowds.

Bill then breaks down major Supreme Court victories for President Trump and the Second Amendment: rulings affirming the President’s authority to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS), clarifying asylum eligibility for those who have not yet entered U.S. soil, and striking down Hawaii’s restrictive concealed carry rules on private property. He follows with an in-depth, engaging interview with historian and author Brady J. Kritzer on his new book The National Road: George Washington and America’s First Highway West, exploring Washington’s visionary push for east-west infrastructure, the engineering challenges of the Appalachian Mountains, political battles over funding, the Whiskey Rebellion, and the cultural impact of this pioneering federal highway project that shaped early American expansion.

In the second hour, Bill examines John Morgan’s launch of the new “Common Ground” political party in Florida (with members called “Grounders”), the surge in independent voters frustrated with gridlock in both major parties, and reflections on pocketbook issues driving politics. He also analyzes recent New York elections showing socialist gains, a caller discussion on grassroots left-wing organizing (highlighting Karlyn Borosenko’s insights), Charlie Crist’s comments on keeping the Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg, and a preview of the USA vs. Turkey soccer match. The show blends patriotic nostalgia, historical depth, sharp political analysis, and listener interaction in classic Bill Bunkley style.

Supreme Court Wins for Trump, George Washington's National Road, John Morgan's Common Ground Party & 4th of July Plans

In this powerful episode of The Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley opens up transparently about his ongoing health battles following his 2018 AML leukemia diagnosis, bone marrow transplant, recent open heart surgery, multiple basal cell carcinoma removals, and upcoming root canal—sharing how his Christian faith sustains him through physical pain, financial pressures, and recovery. The show dives into breaking political news as President Trump cancels a bipartisan 21st Century Road to Housing Act signing until Congress passes the Save America Act, which mandates voter photo ID and verification to prevent illegal voting. Bill discusses the dangers of socialism and Marxism, the rise of far-left candidates, anti-police indoctrination in New York City schools, the ongoing crisis in Cuba under embargo, and the importance of family support in the Cuban-American community. Listeners hear passionate calls from viewers like Todd in Tampa, reflections on America’s approaching 250th birthday and declining patriotism, plus a helpful Medicare Advantage segment with Fernando Cespedes featuring a real listener testimonial about securing better coverage, dental/vision benefits, and monthly cash back. Throughout, Bill grounds the conversation in a Christian worldview, encouraging trust in God amid personal and national challenges.
