Tulsi Gabbard Resigns for Husband’s Cancer, Kyle Busch Dies at 41, Narcissism Warning & Mandalorian Review

On today’s show, Bill delivers an in-depth breakdown of one of the most significant local government decisions in recent Tampa Bay history as the Tampa City Council holds its final deliberations on the proposed Memorandum of Understanding for the Tampa Bay Rays new stadium project. Listeners will get full context on what this MOU entails, the potential impacts on taxpayers, downtown development, traffic, tourism, and the future of professional baseball in the region.

Bill also takes time to remember and honor the late Frank Morsani, the respected Tampa civic leader and businessman who fought tirelessly for decades to bring Major League Baseball to Tampa. Morsani was repeatedly misled and strung along by Major League Baseball executives with promises of an expansion team, only to face disappointment after disappointment despite his substantial efforts and investments. His story serves as a powerful reminder of the complex relationship between local leaders, sports franchises, and league politics.

In addition, the show features a detailed legislative update on the ongoing 2026/2027 Florida state budget negotiations, covering key sticking points, funding priorities, potential cuts or increases affecting the Tampa Bay area, education, infrastructure, and economic development. Bill explains how these high-stakes talks in Tallahassee could directly impact local residents, businesses, and communities in the coming years.

As always, the program rounds out with a comprehensive review of the top local and world news stories that matter most to Tampa Bay listeners. From regional politics and economic developments to international headlines affecting Florida, Bill provides clear, no-nonsense analysis, important background context, and straightforward commentary you won’t hear on corporate media outlets.

Whether you’re a dedicated Tampa Bay Rays fan, a concerned taxpayer, a downtown resident, or simply someone who wants to stay well-informed about what’s happening in your backyard and beyond, this episode is essential listening. Tune in for thoughtful discussion, historical perspective, and the latest updates that directly affect life in the Tampa Bay area.

Tampa Rays Stadium Drama: City Council Decision Today, Honoring Frank Morsani & Latest Legislative News

On the Wednesday, May 20, 2026 edition of The Bill Bunkley Show on Faith Talk Tampa / Salem Radio, veteran host Bill Bunkley delivers a jam-packed afternoon broadcast blending major local breaking news, biblical prophecy, national politics, and a heartfelt pro-life appeal. The show leads with exciting Hillsborough County news as the County Commission voted 5-2 to approve the Memorandum of Understanding for a transformative new $2.3 billion indoor Tampa Bay Rays baseball stadium in Drew Park, Tampa — a long-awaited step after 16 years of efforts led by Chairman Ken Hagan to bring Major League Baseball back across the bay from St. Petersburg. Bill provides in-depth context on the project’s economic benefits, multi-use development potential, public funding details, and the upcoming Tampa City Council vote.

In the second half of the program, Bill sits down with author, illustrator, and animation producer Todd Hampson to discuss his latest book, The Non-Prophet’s Guide to the Rapture. They explore the often-intimidating topic of Bible prophecy in an accessible, visual, and conversational way — covering the different views on the Rapture, its biblical foundation, church history, the Olivet Discourse, signs of the times, Israel’s role, and why the Rapture remains the “blessed hope” for believers. Todd shares insights from his award-winning animation background and explains how the book uses humor, charts, timelines, and illustrations to make end-times theology understandable for both new believers and seasoned Christians alike.

Politically, Bill celebrates President Donald Trump’s dominant 37-0 sweep of endorsed candidates in the previous night’s Republican primaries across multiple states, including the defeat of longtime Congressman Thomas Massie in Kentucky. He also discusses the Trump administration’s indictment of 94-year-old former Cuban President Raul Castro for the 1996 shoot-down of civilian aircraft, along with ongoing developments in Cuba.

Throughout the broadcast, Bill passionately urges listeners to support the Pre-Born ultrasound campaign, aiming for 385 free ultrasounds for women and teens facing unplanned pregnancies in Central Florida. He emphasizes the life-saving impact of ultrasounds (with an 80% choose-life rate), the broader cultural importance of increasing America’s declining birth rate (currently below replacement level at 1.79), and the long-term legacy of strengthening families and future generations through pro-life support.

This episode beautifully weaves together faith, local Tampa Bay pride, conservative values, biblical teaching, and practical calls to action — making it a must-listen for listeners interested in current events through a distinctly Christian worldview.

Rays Stadium Approved in Tampa + Rapture Book Interview with Todd Hampson + Trump Primary Sweep

In this powerful Tuesday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley breaks down a surprising opinion piece from Tampa Bay Times Chairman & CEO Conan Gallaty strongly urging Tampa and Hillsborough leaders to vote yes on the Tampa Bay Rays stadium proposal. He shares key excerpts from the editorial and discusses the economic, accountability, and long-term benefits for the region.

The show also features an in-depth interview with Dr. Gary H. Lovejoy, author of Students in the Lion’s Den, who draws from 30+ years teaching on a secular campus to expose how Christian students are losing their faith in college. Dr. Lovejoy identifies six types of students most vulnerable to secular indoctrination, Marxist/socialist ideology, and spiritual traps — and offers practical advice for parents and grandparents on preparing their children before they step on campus.

Throughout the hour, Bill delivers a heartfelt appeal for the Preborn ministry, emphasizing the critical need to support ultrasound services at Central Florida pregnancy care centers. With abortion rates rising due to mail-order pills, he highlights how a simple $28 ultrasound helps 80% of women choose life after seeing their baby and hearing the heartbeat. Emotional testimonies, including a powerful call from Bob in Sarasota, underscore the lasting impact of abortion regret and the hope of healing and legacy through supporting life.

A must-listen for parents, grandparents, pro-life supporters, and anyone concerned about faith, family, and the future of our communities.
