Join Bill Bunkley on this Friday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show as he kicks off the weekend with important safety alerts, legislative updates, faith-based discussions, and inspiring interviews.

Bill starts with a major heat dome warning for those heading to Freedom 250 events in D.C., theme parks, or outdoor activities, emphasizing hydration and heat stroke prevention. He also reacts to the U.S. Men's Soccer team's narrow loss to Turkey and discusses context around player substitutions.

In the briefing, Bill highlights over 100 new Florida laws taking effect July 1st, including:
Renaming Palm Beach International Airport to President Donald J. Trump International Airport
Changes to high school diploma requirements (marching band & Special Olympics)
New measures against domestic terrorism organizations
Regulations on data centers and utility costs
Church security volunteer exemptions (Senate Bill 52)
Cursive writing requirements in schools
And more

Listener Todd calls in to discuss soccer strategy and politics. Later, Paul Batura (Focus on the Family, Daily Citizen) joins to address religious liberty in sports — including the Chicago Bulls releasing Jaden Ivey over his Christian social media posts and San Francisco Giants players' response to Pride Night.

Dr. Ted Baehr (Movie Guide) returns for an in-depth conversation on what makes successful films, the importance of audience, worldview, craft, and character arcs, plus recommendations like Young Washington.

The show closes with reminders about celebrating America's upcoming 250th anniversary and staying safe in the heat.
