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.
