    Vote Vote Vote: Election Eve Briefing with Florida CFO Blaise Ingoglia + The Launch of MercyMed Free Clinic

    On the day before the crucial 2026 midterm elections, Bill Bunkley delivers an urgent “Vote, Vote, Vote” call to action across Central Florida, sharing early-voting and mail-ballot numbers, urging historic turnout among conservatives and Bible-believing Christians, and directing listeners to his county-by-county recommendations for Hernando, Pasco, Pinellas, Hillsborough, Polk, Manatee, and Sarasota. He sits down with Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia for a deep dive into the state’s DOGE-style audits that have uncovered billions in local-government waste, nearly 1,400 arrests for financial crimes, successful insurance tort reform that has driven rates down and drawn policies out of Citizens, and a strong yes recommendation on Amendment 3 for expanded homestead exemption and property-tax relief. In the second hour the show shifts to a powerful community story: the opening of MercyMed, a brand-new free Christian medical clinic in Tampa’s Sulphur Springs neighborhood. Former Idlewild Baptist pastor Ken Witten, board member Kristen Washington, and longtime family physician Dr. Michael Cromer share the four-year vision, the staggering local need (high child poverty, medical debt, and lack of insurance), the clinic’s location at 7921 North 40th Street, eligibility guidelines, volunteer opportunities for doctors, nurses, PAs, EMTs and others, and how listeners can donate or get involved at mercymedtampa.com. #VoteVoteVote #FloridaMidterms #BillBunkleyShow #BlaiseIngoglia #FloridaCFO #Amendment3 #PropertyTaxRelief #MercyMed #MercyMedTampa #FreeClinic #SulphurSprings #FaithAndHealthcare #LetsTalkFaith #CentralFlorida #ElectionDayEve Support the show: https://letstalkfaith.com/radioshow/bill-bunkley-show See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Israel Election Stalemate, Alaska’s Fake Candidate Scandal, DSA Oath Challenges & Midterm Firewall Push – Kyle Warren Hosts The Bill Bunkley Show

    On this Thursday edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, Kyle Warren sits in for Bill Bunkley and delivers a wide-ranging briefing focused on high-stakes political developments just five days before the November 3 midterms. He opens with the incomplete Israeli election results (93.8% counted), where Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud holds roughly 53 seats and Gadi Eisenkot’s party about 48, with Arab parties at 19—leaving no clear path to a 61-seat Knesset majority and raising the possibility of prolonged coalition talks, a Netanyahu-Eisenkot deal, or even new elections while Netanyahu continues as caretaker prime minister. Warren stresses the importance of “no daylight” between the U.S. and Israel and warns that Democratic control of Congress after the midterms could alter that relationship. He then turns to the Alaska Senate race controversy involving an alleged fake “Dan Sullivan” candidate, reports linking Mary Peltola’s campaign, and the broader implications for election integrity. A major segment examines whether Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) members-elect could be blocked from taking the House oath if their platform calls for abolishing the Senate, packing the Supreme Court, or replacing the Constitution, citing Rep. Keith Self’s comments on the House’s duty to enforce good-faith oaths. Warren also covers new revelations that the Obama administration’s investigation into Ilhan Omar’s alleged 2009 marriage-to-brother immigration fraud began in 2016 and was later closed, now resurfacing amid a fresh federal probe, plus skepticism toward Iranian “peace” overtures, a Pinellas County commission meeting disruption involving a recorded Islamic call to prayer, an Ebola outbreak update from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a listener praise report after a successful cardiac procedure, and a closing note on the reported death of actor Patrick Stewart. Throughout, Warren urges strong turnout to “build and maintain the firewall,” shares Romans 15:13 on hope and peace, and takes energetic calls emphasizing faith, constitutional fidelity, and rejecting what he describes as destabilizing left-wing agendas. #BillBunkleyShow #KyleWarren #IsraelElections #Netanyahu #Knesset #Midterms2026 #AlaskaSenate #DanSullivan #MaryPeltola #DSA #DemocraticSocialists #ConstitutionalOath #IlhanOmar #ObamaAdmin #NoDaylight #IsraelUS #Firewall #Vote #Romans1513 #FaithAndPolitics #PinellasCounty #Ebola #PatrickStewart Support the show: https://letstalkfaith.com/radioshow/bill-bunkley-show See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Six Days to the Midterms: Trump Rallies, Israel Votes, Spain Train Tragedy, Alaska Ballot Scheme & Liberty’s Call

    On this Wednesday, October 28, 2026 edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, Kyle Warren sits in for Bill and opens with an urgent call to action: only six days remain until the midterms. He stresses the need for strong turnout to keep the country on its current course, arguing that despite frustrations over the war, fuel prices and other issues, the alternative is far worse. Warren highlights President Trump and Vice President JD Vance’s intensive rally schedule, critiques Democratic figures including Abdul El-Sayed, Angie Nixon and Hakeem Jeffries, and warns against complacency. He offers a hopeful note on the Tampa Bay Rays, who forced a longer World Series by winning Game 4 in extra innings. The show turns somber with news of a deadly high-speed train collision in Spain that has claimed at least 68 lives, with Americans among the injured; Warren calls for prayers for victims, responders and investigators while noting no confirmed terrorism link. Attention shifts to Israel’s first post-October 7 election, where Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud appears to hold an edge but lacks a clear majority, raising questions about coalition talks, continuity with the Trump administration, and the ongoing Iran threat. Warren expresses deep skepticism toward Iran’s “seven-day plan” and diplomatic overtures, arguing the IRGC remains the core problem and that decisive action may follow the midterms. Domestic stories include the Federal Reserve holding interest rates steady, a detailed exposé on Alaska Democrats’ alleged “ballot composition project” to field a second Dan Sullivan against the Republican senator (echoing the movie The Distinguished Gentleman), severe high tides and flooding along Southern California beaches driven by a Kelvin wave and full moon, and the California governor’s race in which Steve Hilton is framed as a long-shot hope against one-party dominance. Warren also discusses new Treasury rules aimed at limiting large institutional investors from buying single-family homes, Florida’s Amendment 3, and pointed criticisms of progressive candidates’ evasive answers on ideology, Cuba and related issues. He closes with a Bible verse from Isaiah 41:10, a reflection on the anniversary of the Statue of Liberty’s dedication, and a passionate defense of liberty over pure democracy, urging listeners to vote and hold fast. #BillBunkleyShow #KyleWarren #Midterms2026 #SixDaysToGo #Vote #Trump #JDVance #IsraelElections #Netanyahu #Iran #SpainTrainCrash #AlaskaSenate #DanSullivan #CaliforniaGovernor #SteveHilton #Liberty #StatueOfLiberty #Isaiah4110 #FaithTalk #TampaBayRays #WorldSeries #Housing #FederalReserve Support the show: https://letstalkfaith.com/radioshow/bill-bunkley-show See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Seven Days to the Midterms: Trump’s Texas Oil Victory Rally, Israel’s High-Stakes Election, Ilhan Omar’s Ongoing Saga & the Battle for Western Civilization

    On this Tuesday, October 27, 2026 edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, Kyle Warren sits in for Bill and opens with the seven-day countdown to the U.S. midterms while President Trump lands in Corpus Christi, Texas for a high-energy rally. Trump highlights the arrival of a Venezuelan oil tanker carrying one million barrels at zero cost to American taxpayers, credits the U.S. military for the rapid victory that secured access to the world’s largest oil reserves, and urges support for Attorney General Ken Paxton and Senator Ted Cruz. The program also tracks Israel’s closely contested election, where Benjamin Netanyahu faces former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot amid reports of a possible hung Knesset, half a million first-time young voters, and lingering questions about intelligence failures surrounding the October 7 attacks. Kyle examines the latest developments in the Ilhan Omar immigration investigation—including Hassan Piker’s “paperwork problem” defense and a letter from more than 170 House Democrats demanding the DOJ drop the probe—plus a raid on a Southern California property linked to Eric Swalwell. Callers from Sarasota and Colorado stress that the midterms are about policies, not personalities, and that Western civilization itself is on the ballot. The hour also features a powerful reading of Romans 8:37-39, a “This Day in History” tribute to Theodore Roosevelt’s birthday, Mike Waltz’s fiery confrontation with Cuba’s diplomat at the UN, and discussion of Florida’s Amendment 3 on property taxes. #BillBunkleyShow #Midterms2026 #TrumpRally #CorpusChristi #VenezuelaOil #IsraelElections #Netanyahu #IlhanOmar #WesternCivilization #Vote #KenPaxton #TedCruz #FreeStateProject #Amendment3 #FaithTalk Support the show: https://letstalkfaith.com/radioshow/bill-bunkley-show See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Self-Employed Mortgage Solutions: Bank Statements, 1099 Income & No Tax Returns Required – Interview with Joe Manzioni of First Christian Mortgage

    In this insightful interview on The Bill Bunkley Show, Kyle Warren sits down with Joe Manzioni of First Christian Mortgage to explore how self-employed borrowers can successfully qualify for home loans, refinances, and home equity lines of credit even when traditional tax returns and W-2s don’t tell the full story. Joe explains that as a direct lender built on Christian values of integrity and relationship-focused service, First Christian Mortgage offers specialized niche programs that many conventional lenders overlook. Self-employed clients can qualify using just 12 months of business bank statements (with 50% of deposits counted as income), 90% of 1099 income, or a CPA-prepared profit-and-loss statement—often with no tax returns required—provided they have at least 20% down for purchases. The conversation also covers differences for veterans seeking VA or FHA loans, the advantages of working with a direct lender versus a broker, the “bait and switch” pitfalls common in the industry, and why long-term client relationships matter more than one-time transactions. Listeners learn practical pathways for landscapers, contractors, real estate agents, and other self-employed professionals to turn cash flow into homeownership, with Joe available seven days a week at 888-834-8880 or firstchristianmortgage.com. #SelfEmployedMortgage #BankStatementLoan #FirstChristianMortgage #HomeLoansWithPurpose #NicheMortgageProducts #1099Income #HELOC #RefinanceOptions #DirectLender #ChristianValues #MortgageHelp #SelfEmployedBorrowers #NoTaxReturnsNeeded #HomeownershipJourney #JoeManzioni Support the show: https://letstalkfaith.com/radioshow/bill-bunkley-show See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Midterm Urgency, Ilhan Omar Allegations & Movie Guide Review

    Kyle Warren sits in for Bill Bunkley on this Friday edition, focusing on the midterm elections just 11 days away. He stresses the high stakes, critiques of far-left policies and the DSA, warnings about fake polls and misinformation, and the importance of voting according to principles rather than temporary frustrations like gas prices or foreign conflicts. Discussions include Western civilization, assimilation, and Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s comments on the Second Amendment (“equal rights to a musket”). Breaking coverage examines allegations surrounding Rep. Ilhan Omar, including questions about her legal name (reportedly Ilhan Nur Syed Elmi), possible family marriage claims, and potential immigration fraud issues. Dr. Ted Baehr (Movie Guide) discusses challenges for film production amid riots in France, reviews the heartwarming Christmas film The One (Martin Sheen) and the animated Hot Wheels: Let’s Race – Attack of the T-Rex, and covers articles on a Jimmy Stewart biopic, a math professor’s biblical case against over-reliance on AI, and related cultural notes. The show closes with a historical reflection connecting Brutus’s death in 42 BC to Caesar Augustus and the biblical census that brought Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem. Timestamps: 00:00 – Welcome & Midterm Election Urgency (11 Days Out) 11:56 – Western Civilization, Assimilation & El-Sayed’s Second Amendment Comments 22:24 – Ilhan Omar Name & Immigration Allegations 01:09:03 – Dr. Ted Baehr (Movie Guide) Segment Begins 01:14:52 – Reviews: The One & Hot Wheels: Attack of the T-Rex 01:28:05 – Closing Historical Reflection (Brutus to Bethlehem) A timely Friday briefing on elections, cultural issues, and family entertainment guidance. #BillBunkleyShow #KyleWarren #Midterms2026 #IlhanOmar #MovieGuide #TedBaehr #WesternCivilization #ChristianPodcast #FaithAndCulture #Letstalkfaith Support the show: https://letstalkfaith.com/radioshow/bill-bunkley-show See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Vote, Pray for Europe, See Joshua Live

    On the October 22, 2026 edition of The Bill Bunkley Show (The Briefing) live from Tampa on Salem Radio / Faith Talk Tampa, host Bill Bunkley opens with a strong call for listeners to vote before the November 3 deadline, stressing that elections have consequences amid rising Marxism, socialism, and radical Islam in France, the UK, and Canada. He offers free downloadable voter recommendation documents (with preamble) for Hernando, Pasco, Pinellas, Hillsborough, Polk, Manatee, and Sarasota counties at letstalkfaith.com under Program → Bill Bunkley. Caller Rich from Lakewood Ranch discusses immigration patterns, second-generation issues involving figures such as Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, and hopes for Marine Le Pen in France’s 2027 election; another caller delivers a passionate faith-based plea. The middle segment features an interview with Ryan Miller of Sight & Sound Theatres about the new theatrical-film release Joshua Live (Roadside Attractions), opening nationwide and in Central Florida theaters on October 30; Miller explains the four-year creative process, the “trusting the Lord” theme, the spectacular Jericho-wall collapse sequence, and the value of both live stage and cinema experiences. Bunkley also highlights Tampa Bay Rays World Series watch parties at Tropicana Field (games 1–2 and 6–7), $10 tickets, giveaways, and enhanced options. Local news covers Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister’s “Operation Bad Builder,” a four-month sting that arrested 50 unlicensed contractors (18 in the country illegally), several with serious prior records; listeners are urged to verify licenses at myfloridalicense.com and never pay large sums upfront. The final major segment is the daily Medicare Annual Enrollment update with Fernando Suspedes of Family Focus Insurance Solutions (813-533-3000). Customer Dave shares how Fernando quickly replaced his wife’s canceled PPO with a comparable plan from the same carrier, keeping her doctors and securing a monthly Part B premium reduction; Fernando stresses the December 7 deadline, potential lifelong penalties for late Part D or Part B enrollment, available Part B givebacks, and final-expense options. Bunkley closes by noting a short personal retreat (Kyle Warren guest-hosting) and again urging listeners to vote and share the county guides.   #BillBunkleyShow #TheBriefing #LetsTalkFaith #VoteFlorida #FloridaElections #JoshuaLive #SightAndSound #MedicareAEP #FernandoSuspedes #TampaBayRays #WorldSeries #OperationBadBuilder #HillsboroughCounty #FaithTalkTampa #SalemRadio #VoteByNov3 #JoshuaMovie #MedicareOpenEnrollment #FloridaVoterGuide #TrustTheLord#CentralFloridaNews #ChristianRadio #ConservativeTalk #SightAndSoundTheatres #RaysWatchParty Support the show: https://letstalkfaith.com/radioshow/bill-bunkley-show See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
