On this August 19, 2026 episode of The Bill Bunkley Show (The Briefing on Salem Radio), host Bill Bunkley opens with an urgent appeal for Food for the Poor, aiming to finish feeding 375 starving children in Latin America and the Caribbean at just 4.6 cents a day ($80 feeds one child for a year, doubled by a matching donor). He thanks early donors like Carleen from Myakka City and Carmen while pushing listeners to help drop the remaining 75 (later 74) kids off the waiting list. Caller “T” from Sarasota vents frustration over the previous night’s school-board results, claiming “stealth Democrats” Glover, Mayberry, and Tenenbaum won in a heavily Republican county by hiding their party affiliation and agendas tied to Tom Edwards, while criticizing local GOP leadership. Bill affirms the farce of nonpartisan school-board races and notes his own endorsements (Heidi Braun, Frank DeCiccio, Michelle Pazzi) fell short. Mid-show, Jennifer Jackson joins to discuss her book An American Heart—a heart for God, family, and country in that order—sharing the legacy of her WWII grandfather (two Purple Hearts, Bronze Star, Battle of the Bulge survivor) who modeled reluctant leadership, patriotism, faith, and family. Later, Bill analyzes the primaries: Byron Donalds clinches the GOP gubernatorial nod (though under 50%) against David Jolly on the Democratic side; Ashley Moody sails to renomination while socialist Angie Nixon/Dixon stuns by defeating well-funded Alex Vindman for the Democratic U.S. Senate nod; DSA candidate Oliver Larkin loses to Jared Moskowitz; Randy Fine crushes an antisemitic challenger; and Jim Swartzell upsets in the open Donalds congressional seat. Promotions director Zulie shares heartbreaking firsthand accounts from a Honduras mission trip—children eating with their hands, a mother forced to choose which sick child sees the doctor—underscoring why year-round Food for the Poor partnerships matter. The show blends election post-mortems, faith, patriotism, and practical charity throughout.
