On the day after what host Bill Bunkley calls the “great massacre” of November 4, 2026, The Bill Bunkley Show delivers a raw postmortem with longtime political consultant Mark Proctor. While Democrats seized control of the U.S. House and Senate in a sweeping blue wave driven by high turnout, independent voters swinging hard left, migration from blue states, block voting, and classic midterm backlash, Florida Republicans narrowly retained the governorship, cabinet, and legislative supermajorities—thanks in part to strong support for Amendment 3’s homestead tax relief. Bunkley and Proctor dig into the “Kathy Castor effect” that flipped Hillsborough County, low Republican and Christian turnout, Trump fatigue over style and pocketbook issues (gas prices, Iran involvement, economic promises), and the growing power of unaffiliated voters. The show also covers breaking local news of a targeted workplace shooting at the Citibank complex in Sabal Park, where a suspect crashed a vehicle into a lunch area, killed one person, and was fatally shot by an armed security guard amid a massive multi-agency response. Listener calls add perspective on media bias, Muslim block voting in Michigan, Hispanic shifts in Texas, and the danger of staying home in midterms, before the program closes with practical Medicare open-enrollment guidance and a faith-centered reminder that God remains on the throne.

Postmortem on the 2026 Midterm Massacre: Florida Barely Holds the Line, Trump Fatigue, Blue Tsunami & Sabal Park Shooting

On this special Veterans Day 2026 broadcast of The Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley opens with a heartfelt tribute to all who have served—living and deceased—dedicating the program to his own parents, Laura Aurora Bunkley and Walter Gervin Bunkley Sr., both World War II Army Air Corps veterans. Drawing from the history of Armistice Day and the evolution of Veterans Day, Bunkley challenges listeners to teach the next generation the true cost of freedom. He shares the powerful (and heartbreaking) final interview of 101-year-old British naval veteran Alec Penstone, who questioned whether the sacrifices of World War II were “worth it” given the erosion of freedoms in modern Britain. Callers, including John from Nyack, New York, offer emotional gratitude for America’s warriors and warn against forgetting the nation’s exceptional history. The program also highlights recent comments from Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett urging civic education and active participation to preserve the founding principles for the next 250 years. Blending personal family history, caller perspectives, faith-rooted reflection, and a sober look at cultural and political challenges, this episode is both a tribute and a call to remember why veterans fought—and what is still at stake.

Veterans Day 2026: Honoring Sacrifice, Remembering Why Freedom Matters

On this November 10, 2026 edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley returns from the Florida Baptist Convention Annual Meeting to deliver a sober “briefing” on the recent midterm elections. He shares the top question he faced repeatedly from pastors and attendees: “What do you think?” Bunkley highlights the election of 252 socialists and a significant number of Muslim candidates, framing it as a “camel’s nose under the tent” and citing Pastor Jack Hibbs’ stark assessment that “our republic ended on Tuesday.” He discusses concerns about Texas shifting left, the long-term strategy of demographic and cultural change, the failure of many evangelicals to treat the election as urgent, and the broader clash of cultures playing out in America and Europe. Callers weigh in passionately on immigration, legacy media, assimilation, and whether multiculturalism fractures societies. In the second half, the tone turns constructive as Bunkley spotlights Hillsborough County’s 10th annual Veterans Outreach Court. He interviews Judge Darrell Manning (U.S. Army Lt. Col., Ret.), who helped nearly 40 veterans resolve outstanding misdemeanor warrants, fines, and license issues in a single day at Veterans Memorial Park. Over the court’s decade-long history, more than $343,000 in fines and fees have been waived and hundreds of veterans assisted—giving men and women who served a practical “hand up” just ahead of Veterans Day.

the Midterm Wake-Up Call: Socialists, Cultural Clashes, and the Fight for America’s Future — Plus Veterans Outreach Court

In this special pre-recorded edition of The Bill Bunkley Show from November 9, 2026, host Bill Bunkley delivers a timely word of encouragement to evangelical Christians and conservatives still processing the midterm election results. Broadcasting while on assignment at the Florida Baptist Convention in Orlando, Bunkley acknowledges the surprise, overwhelm, and discouragement many felt, then redirects listeners to the unshakable power available through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. He urges believers to limit news consumption, reclaim personal mission through prayer, volunteering, exercise, reading, and healthy hobbies, and refuse to stay glued to the 24/7 news cycle. The heart of the program is a rich conversation with Dr. David Jeremiah about his new book The Battle for Your Soul, exploring how to distinguish spiritual warfare from everyday struggles, common misconceptions about Satan, the spiritual weapons God has given every believer, the danger of legalism in spiritual disciplines, how parents can prepare children for the battle, the unique pressures facing pastors, and practical strategies for holding firmly to your identity in Christ when shame, guilt, or discouragement try to take hold. The show also features a live interview with Joe Manzione of First Christian Mortgage, who walks through specialized lending options designed for self-employed borrowers—including programs that require no tax returns, bank-statement loans (12 & 24 months), profit-and-loss statements, 1099s, purchase and cash-out refinances, standalone second mortgages, and HELOCs. The episode closes with a forward-looking perspective on the political road ahead and a call to keep praying for leaders and the nation.
