On the August 25, 2026 edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley opens with the breaking news of Dolly Parton’s peaceful passing in Nashville, sharing the heartfelt Instagram video announcement from her nephew Brian Seaver (son of Cassie Parton and longtime head of her security). Bunkley reflects on Dolly’s iconic rags-to-riches story—from a one-room cabin near Pigeon Forge with ten siblings to becoming America’s sweetheart and building an entertainment dynasty rooted in family-friendly values. He highlights her writing of “I Will Always Love You,” her lasting marriage to Carl Dean, her humility about awards, her theme parks, and especially her massive literacy work sending millions of free books to children worldwide. The conversation then turns to the show’s ongoing August campaign with Food for the Poor: a determined final push to secure full-year food security for a minimum of 375 children in Latin America and the Caribbean. With matching gifts doubling every donation, Bunkley and guest Zuley urgently appeal for the last remaining children ($80 feeds one child for a year / 4.6 cents a day), sharing powerful field stories of hunger, resilience, and hope while celebrating listener gifts that steadily close the gap. The hour also notes Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier’s Operation Statewide Shield recovering 163 endangered children and features caller insights, bilingual encouragement, and a strong call to action via phone, website, and text.

Remembering Dolly Parton & the Final Push to Feed 375 Children

On this Monday edition of The Briefing (August 24, 2026), Bill Bunkley opens with an urgent final push in the August partnership with Food for the Poor. Starting the show just 32 children short of the 375-child goal for Latin America and the Caribbean, he celebrates early gifts (including leadership donations from Christina in Sarasota and Corey in Riverview) that drop the remaining total to 24. With a 100% match still in effect, an $80 gift feeds two children for a full year at roughly 4.6 cents per day. Bill repeatedly invites listeners to close the campaign by phone (855-353-HOPE), online at letstalkfaith.com, or by texting WTBN to 51555 so the show can return to full news coverage. He then shares a powerful personal praise report: after a Sunday morning PET scan at Moffitt Cancer Center, results showed no cancer in the concerning lymph node or elsewhere, clearing the way for upcoming skin radiation while he continues managing life after AML leukemia, a bone-marrow transplant, open-heart surgery, and related challenges. The news block covers Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s announcement of sweeping new U.S. sanctions targeting Iran’s digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping—framed as President Trump’s “economic D-Day”—plus Iranian threats against Barron Trump and an alleged plot against one of Benjamin Netanyahu’s sons, Israeli airstrikes on a Syrian airfield used by Turkey, Syria’s removal from the state sponsors of terrorism list, a Houthi attack on a Saudi oil tanker, and a fresh 50% tariff escalation with Canada. Sports highlights include Buccaneers preseason quarterback battles and Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s historic 69-yard field goal, while a local segment examines the upcoming Tampa/Hillsborough votes on the Rays’ proposed stadium and the broader decline of traditional retail and malls.
