Join Bill Bunkley on this Tuesday Briefing from the heart of Florida, where faith meets fearless conservatism. As Team USA Hockey returns triumphant—high-fiving troops, draping themselves in the flag, and inspiring an entire Miami nightclub to belt out God Bless America—we celebrate a rare throwback wave of genuine American pride amid cultural challenges. Bill previews President Trump's epic State of the Union address tonight: expect big boasts on booming jobs, border wins, America First tariffs, election integrity, and patriotic highlights with the hockey heroes in the chamber.

Plus: Heart-wrenching updates on Savannah Guthrie's million-dollar plea for her missing mother, Florida's record tourism boom under conservative leadership, the Tampa Bay Rays' exciting new stadium land deal, and a sobering warning about the explosion in sports betting addiction hitting young men hard.

At the core: Bill and his family lead the charge to rescue 322+ at-risk children in Malawi, Zambia, and Uganda through Cross International—$62 provides a year's food, clean water, medical care, trauma counseling, a Bible, and Christian education. Stand with us to nourish bodies, minds, and souls!

Patriotism Unleashed: Hockey Champs Inspire America, Trump’s Long Speech Ahead & Fighting Gambling’s Grip

On today’s show, Bill breaks down the latest war update, including new developments and what they could mean moving forward. He also looks at a key question dominating national conversation: Do Americans support or oppose the war in Iran? With new polling and public reaction shaping the debate, Bill examines where the country stands and why opinions may be shifting.

Back at home, lawmakers have taken action to strengthen protections for children as the Florida Legislature passes a bill to increase penalties for child predators. Bill walks through what the legislation changes, why supporters say it’s necessary, and what critics are saying about its potential impact.

In local news, questions are emerging about the proposed cruise port in Manatee County. Is the project already running into trouble before construction even begins? Bill explores the concerns, the political pushback, and what it could mean for the region’s economy and future development.

Plus, a special guest joins the show: legendary photographer Tom Murphy, whose powerful images have helped define the spirit and wildlife of Yellowstone National Park. Murphy shares the story behind his remarkable career and the honor of having his work featured on a brand-new U.S. postage stamp celebrating the beauty and soul of Yellowstone.

All that and much more on today’s episode.

War, Polls & Policy: Iran Debate, Child Predator Crackdown, Manatee Port Questions + Yellowstone on a Stamp

On today's episode of the show, host Bill dives into a whirlwind of pressing national and international developments shaking the world as of March 2026. He breaks down the chilling ISIS-inspired attack near Gracie Mansion in New York City, where authorities have charged suspects with attempting to support the Islamic State after a homemade explosive device was deployed—the first such IED incident in the city in nearly a decade—amid heightened fears of retaliatory terrorism following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. Bill examines the seismic shift in Iran, where Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the recently slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (killed in the opening salvos of the escalating U.S.-Israel-Iran war), has been appointed as the new Supreme Leader by the Assembly of Experts, marking the first hereditary transition in the Islamic Republic's history and signaling hard-line continuity despite ongoing airstrikes and regional chaos. Closer to home in Florida, gas prices have skyrocketed—jumping over 40 cents in a week to averages around $3.35 per gallon—due to global oil market disruptions from the Iran conflict and threats to the Strait of Hormuz, squeezing families, small businesses, and commuters across the state. Bill also highlights Trail Life USA CEO Mark Hancock's strong affirmation of his organization's boy-focused, values-driven mission in response to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's pointed warnings and criticisms directed at the rebranded Boy Scouts of America (now Scouting America), which has faced scrutiny for drifting from its traditional emphasis on masculine character development. Finally, amid the turmoil, Bill explores a hopeful spiritual angle: how the devastation in war-ravaged Iran and Lebanon—following regime instability, Hezbollah setbacks, and widespread unrest—may be creating unprecedented openings for Christian evangelization and the rapid spread of the Gospel in regions long closed to it. Packed with analysis, updates, and much more, this episode connects the dots on how distant conflicts are rippling into everyday American life.

Breaking Global Tensions: ISIS-Inspired Terror in NYC, Iran's New Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, Florida Gas Price Surge, Hegseth's Warning to Boy Scouts, and Evangelism Openings in Iran & Lebanon

Join host Bill Bunkley for a powerful Friday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, broadcast live from Tampa on Let's Talk Faith and Salem Radio stations across Central Florida. At the intersection of faith, current events, and conservative values, Bill delivers timely updates, heartfelt appeals, and encouraging conversations rooted in a Christian worldview.
War in Iran Update — Latest developments as the U.S. and Israel ramp up strikes, Iran's missile launches drop dramatically (by 90%), drone threats persist in the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices surge, and bunker-busting operations target regime leadership. Bill shares strategic insights, prays for troops (including those at CENTCOM in Tampa), and reflects on Gospel opportunities in war-torn regions like Iran and Lebanon.
Urgent Child Rescue Campaign — Partnering with Cross International, the show aims to rescue at least 322 vulnerable children in Malawi, Zambia, and Uganda. Progress update: Over 200 kids already sponsored! For a one-time gift of just $62 per child, provide a year's food (vitamin-fortified rice), clean water via new wells, medical care, trauma counseling for orphans/refugees, Christian education, and a personal Bible. Hear children's own aspirations and join the "VIP heroes" list—call 888-873-1057 or visit letstalkfaith.com (red banner). Momentum is building—help drop the remaining kids into double digits!
Focus on the Family Interview — Old friend Glenn Stanton discusses a surprising national survey on clergy willingness to perform same-sex marriages (even if allowed by their denomination). Eye-opening stats: Strong evangelical resistance (89% no), but concerning openness in some groups, mainline Protestants, and even Catholics. Biblical marriage reaffirmed (Genesis, Jesus in Mark/Matthew, Ephesians).
Movie Guide Awards Special — Dr. Ted Baer reviews the recent gala (aired on Great American Family), highlighting family-friendly, faith-affirming winners like Sarah's Oil, The Last Rodeo, Timeless Tidings of Joy, The Chosen, and more. Contrast with "garbage" mainstream awards—Movie Guide influences Hollywood toward positive content. Visit movieguide.org for reviews, app, and donation.

Tune in weekdays at 3 PM on letstalkfaith.com or your local Salem station. Share the hope—faith meets life every afternoon!
