On this Thursday, November 5, 2026 edition of The Bill Bunkley Show (The Briefing) on Salem Radio / Faith Talk Tampa, host Bill Bunkley opens with updated details on the deadly workplace violence at the Citigroup complex in Brandon, Florida. Orlando man Jacob Pearson, 35, drove to the campus after a phone threat over a $2,500 delinquent Citibank credit-card summons, crashed through barriers, fatally shot 41-year-old learning advisor Leanne Selman, and was stopped inside the cafeteria by Citibank security officer and Marine veteran John Fraley, who engaged and killed the gunman. Bunkley praises the armed response that prevented a larger mass-casualty event and ties the incident to broader cultural stress, the need for personal responsibility, and the biblical principle of “turning the other cheek” while also affirming the right of trained citizens to defend life.

He then interviews Fritz Steiger, author of the new book Divine Disruption 2.0: Restoring America to God’s Providence. Steiger shares his journey from a Wyoming ranch to working closely with Sam Walton (founding the Walmart Foundation and corporate affairs), his near-death plane experience with Walton, and his decades of public-policy work with the Texas Public Policy Foundation, Children First America, and the Justice Foundation. The conversation centers on God’s “divine disruptions,” the Seven Mountain Mandate, the crisis of faith in America after the midterm results, the need for Christians to re-engage culture, family, education, business, media, and government, and practical study-guide resources in the book for small groups.

Bunkley follows with breaking market news: the Dow closed down roughly 1,800–1,844 points, the Nasdaq fell into correction territory (down ~5.4% and 10% off its recent high), and the S&P 500 dropped over 4%, with heavy selling in AI, semiconductor, and data-center related stocks amid investor fears of a Democrat-controlled Congress slowing the AI build-out. He frames the sell-off as a delayed reaction to the midterm results.

The final segment is a pointed “Something to Think About” commentary aimed at evangelical Christians and conservatives who stayed home on Election Day. Bunkley argues that non-voting was effectively a vote that helped elect radical left, socialist, and Islamist candidates, that the shift is within historical midterm norms in seat count but consequential because of the ideology now gaining footholds, and that Florida’s relative resilience was aided by Amendment 3 turnout. He discusses the Hispanic vote, border-county shifts, Texas results, the importance of block voting one’s values the way other groups do, and repeatedly urges listeners to “get off the bench,” vote in every election, focus on issues over personalities, and recover intentional Christian civic engagement. Callers weigh in on disappointment with Trump on prices and foreign policy, the Hispanic and Muslim voting patterns, and cultural threats. The show closes with a call to wake up, stay engaged, and vote biblical values.
