On this August 20, 2026 edition of The Bill Bunkley Show (The Briefing on Salem Radio / Faith Talk Tampa), host Bill Bunkley opens with urgent updates on the Food for the Poor campaign to feed 375 children in Latin America and the Caribbean for a full year. With a matching gift in place, an $80 donation (just 4.6 cents a day) feeds two children; at airtime only 53 remain, and later leadership gifts push the total even closer to the finish line. Listeners are urged to call 855-353-HOPE, visit letstalkfaith.com, or text WTBN to 51555. Breaking news follows: authorities have arrested 35-year-old Jesse Bowie (also known as Ashiya Shaikh) of Albany on charges of attempting to provide material support to ISIS after she allegedly plotted to bomb the New York State Capitol while lawmakers were in session, scouting the site repeatedly and discussing concealing a device in a DoorDash bag. Governor Kathy Hochul confirms the threat has been neutralized. Economist and historian Lawrence W. Reed joins to discuss his new book Born of Ideas: How Principles, Faith, and Courage Forged America, exploring the Mayflower Compact, the true intellectual roots of the Revolution, forgotten foreign heroes such as Lafayette, Pulaski, Kosciuszko and Haym Salomon, and the classical education that shaped the Founders. The second hour turns to America’s $40 trillion national debt, the unsustainable interest burden that already exceeds the annual defense budget, the looming insolvency of Social Security and Medicare, and a call for candidates to offer concrete plans rather than blame. A 6.7-magnitude earthquake in southern Peru is also noted. Throughout, Bunkley blends faith, conservative principles, current events and charitable action in his signature two-hour briefing.
