Today's Headlines from Tallahassee: Jesse Jackson's Legacy Ends at 84, Guthrie Case DNA Dead End, Super Bowl Gambling Boom, Trump's Middle East Military Surge & More

Join Bill Bunkley for a special edition of The Bill Bunkley Show—your daily briefing at the intersection of faith and life—broadcasting live from Tampa across Central Florida on Salem Radio and letstalkfaith.com.

In this blockbuster episode (February 20, 2026), Bill dives deep into two massive developing stories dominating the news:
The U.S. Supreme Court's stunning 6-3 ruling striking down President Trump's broad tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Hear the surprising lineup (Roberts, Sotomayor, Kagan, Jackson, Gorsuch, Barrett in the majority; Kavanaugh's strong dissent joined by Thomas and Alito), President Trump's passionate White House press conference response—calling out "disloyal" justices while vowing powerful alternatives—and his immediate executive order for a new 10% global tariff under Section 122. Bill breaks down the legal details, potential refunds of billions in collected duties, and why this may ultimately strengthen presidential trade authority rather than end it.
Escalating tensions with Iran: President Trump warns of a 10-15 day window (potentially as soon as early March) for a deal on nuclear enrichment and ballistic missiles—or face consequences. With massive U.S. naval assets (including carriers) positioning in the region, Bill analyzes the timeline, possible pre-strike actions, and implications for national security.

Plus, in hour two: Paul Assay from Focus on the Family's Plugged In shares practical wisdom from the Parents' Guide to Technology—tackling screen time, social media dangers, family tech rules, and avoiding hypocrisy in parenting. They also review the uplifting new film I Can Only Imagine 2, perfect for families seeking stories of reconciliation, faith, and overcoming struggles.

Don't miss Bill's closing thoughts on local events like Ybor City's Fiesta Day and why supporting faith-friendly movies on opening weekend matters.

Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump Tariffs: Setback or Smarter Path Ahead? Plus Iran Deadline Looms

In today's must-watch episode, we dive into a bombshell international scandal as former Prince Andrew (now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor), long-associated with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has been arrested in the UK on suspicion of misconduct in public office following fresh revelations from newly released Epstein files—sparking global headlines and renewed calls for accountability among the powerful. Shifting to Sunshine State developments, the Florida House has overwhelmingly passed a proposed constitutional amendment (HJR 203) that would dramatically expand and eventually phase out non-school property taxes for homesteaded properties, starting with significant exemption increases and aiming for full relief by 2037, delivering major potential tax savings to homeowners amid ongoing debates over local funding impacts. Meanwhile, the Florida Cabinet is set to consider deeding valuable state land—22 acres of non-conservation property—to support a new Tampa Bay Rays stadium deal at Hillsborough College's Dale Mabry campus, advancing talks for a massive $2.3 billion ballpark and mixed-use project that could reshape Tampa's sports landscape. Adding to the local intrigue, a proposed multi-berth cruise port terminal in Manatee County near the sensitive Terra Ceia Aquatic Preserve draws fierce opposition, including from State Senator Jim Boyd, who has voiced strong concerns over environmental harm to pristine coastlines, drawing hundreds to rallies and highlighting tensions between economic development and conservation. Join us as we break down these stories, their implications for Florida residents, and much more in this packed show!

Trump International Airport," with bills advancing in the House and Senate amid debates over costs, trademarks, and symbolism.

And in national news with Florida ties, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg takes the stand in a groundbreaking Los Angeles courtroom trial, facing allegations that Instagram and other platforms were deliberately designed to addict and harm children, exacerbating mental health crises like depression and suicidal thoughts.
