Tight Florida Midterm Polls, Bring Your Bible to School Day & Movie Guide on Billy Graham + Narnia Controversy

On the September 17, 2026 edition of The Bill Bunkley Show (The Briefing) from Tampa, host Bill Bunkley opens with an enthusiastic update on the Tampa Bay Rays, who are lighting up Tropicana Field and closing in on a possible American League East title with a growing lead over the Yankees, a potential first-round bye, and home-field advantage deep into the postseason after stadium approval for 2029. He shares a personal health update from his first radiation treatment at Moffitt Cancer Center for aggressive basal-cell carcinoma linked to post-bone-marrow-transplant medications and prior open-heart surgery, urging listeners to protect their skin in the Florida sun. The conversation turns to the housing market as the Federal Reserve’s rate hike pushes 30-year mortgages above 7 percent, raising questions about whether Florida’s strong in-migration will buffer it from cooling prices, longer days-on-market, and a ripple effect on appraisals—especially for entry-level and mid-range homes—while high-end properties and equity products remain more resilient. Geopolitically, Bunkley examines President Trump’s signals of a major decision on Iran after seven months of conflict, a forthcoming meeting with Gulf state leaders during the UN General Assembly, rising oil prices near $104 a barrel, and three possible paths forward (escalation, status quo, or withdrawal), with a caller advocating Abraham Accords expansion plus decisive action. A lighter segment revisits Florida Keys treasure hunting and Mel Fisher’s ongoing recovery of the 1622 wreck Nuestra Señora de Atocha, including a newly found 55-pound copper ingot. The hour closes with an in-depth interview with Pastor Paul Begley, co-author of Trump versus the Beast: A World on Fire Needs a Hero (with Troy Anderson, foreword by Kevin Sorbo), exploring biblical prophecy, the multi-headed “beast” system of global control, the Ten Kings as industry titans, surveillance technology, digital currency, and Trump’s role as a divinely timed counterforce in the end-times timeline.

Rays Push for AL East Title, Radiation Journey, Housing Reset, Iran Decision Looms & “Trump vs. the Beast” Prophecy

On the Wednesday edition of the Bill Bunkley Show broadcasting from Tampa on Salem Radio, host Bill Bunkley breaks down the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee’s decision to raise interest rates by a quarter percent—the first hike since spring 2023—under new Chairman Kevin Warsh. He explains why the move aims at price stability amid creeping inflation, how it will most affect the bottom half of American income earners who live paycheck-to-paycheck, and why further hikes or eventual cuts remain possible after the midterms. Caller Todd delivers a fiery critique of the Fed’s structure and calls for presidential action on gold reserves and rates. Bunkley then issues a public-health warning about Vibrio vulnificus (flesh-eating bacteria) linked to raw or undercooked oysters and shellfish, noting recent Florida deaths and advising proper cooking, especially for newcomers to the state. The show shifts to AI safety debates, covering Meta’s delayed Muse model for security reviews, calls from Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders for government pauses or oversight, JD Vance’s support for industry self-regulation, and Sen. John Kennedy’s proposal for AI “kill switches.” Positive news includes White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles announcing she is cancer-free after early-stage breast cancer treatment. A major segment warns parents and grandparents about “gas station heroin”—kratom and highly potent 7-OH products sold at convenience stores and smoke shops that can mimic heroin, cause addiction, liver/heart damage, and heavy-metal poisoning; the DEA has classified certain forms as Schedule I. Finally, Bunkley welcomes back Fernando Sisbets of Family Focus Insurance Solutions for Medicare open-enrollment guidance (starting Oct. 15 for 2027 coverage), featuring a listener testimony from Eduardo on seamless plan setup, zero-premium benefits, and cash-back options, while urging early calls for needs analyses. The episode closes with a prayer focus on the Iranian people’s resilience and the growth of Christianity under oppression.

Fed Rate Hike Hits Lower-Income Americans, Gas Station Heroin Warning, AI Kill Switch Debate & Medicare Open Enrollment

On this September 15, 2026 edition of the Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley marks the eighth anniversary of his life-saving bone marrow transplant for AML leukemia at Moffitt Cancer Center, sharing the miraculous story of his perfect-match donor who was relocated ahead of Hurricane Florence and urging listeners to get annual physicals while giving glory to Jesus Christ. The program then turns to growing national debates over artificial intelligence, including Chinese leadership concerns about AI exposing totalitarian systems, President Trump’s comments on safeguards, and the delicate balance between innovation and risk. Listener calls address open borders under Biden, short national memory of the crisis, Supreme Court rejection of Trump’s mail-in voting reforms, AOC and others’ behavior at a 9/11 ceremony, and rising cultural and ideological threats. Local and national briefs cover the Kennedy Center’s main venue closure amid financial and legal battles, the U.S. House vote to retire the penny under the Common Sense Act (making the nickel the lowest denomination with cash rounding), the new Tampa Bay-area GasDash fuel-delivery service, and expectations for a possible Federal Reserve interest-rate hike amid elevated oil prices. The second hour features Pastor Jim Scudder, co-author of The Spiritual War Against Israel: Defending Biblical Zionism and Understanding End Times Prophecy, discussing the supernatural roots of antisemitism, biblical Zionism, the land promises to Abraham’s descendants, the failure of replacement theology, Israel’s legitimate history of purchasing and defending its land, and the ongoing spiritual battle tied to end-times prophecy from a premillennial, pre-tribulational perspective.
