Join Bill Bunkley live from the Florida State Capitol in Tallahassee for this February 3, 2026, edition of The Bill Bunkley Show, where faith intersects with today's pressing issues across Central Florida and beyond. Broadcasting on Let's Talk Faith and streaming globally at letstalkfaith.com, Bill dives into a packed briefing: he shares his firsthand support for key legislation, including Senate Bill 1632 (the "Sharia Law Bill") to prohibit ideologies inconsistent with American principles, Senate Bill 52 enhancing volunteer security at places of worship, anti-DEI measures in local government, religious expression protections in public schools, and bans on sex reassignment procedures for minors. He breaks down the exciting developments in Tampa Bay baseball, recapping Governor Ron DeSantis and MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred's press conference backing a proposed new Rays stadium and mixed-use complex on Hillsborough College's Dale Mabry campus—complete with the team's commitment to cover at least 50% of costs—while stressing the urgency as time ticks down and other Florida cities vie for the franchise. Bill also addresses the harsh winter freeze's toll on agriculture, detailing damage to Plant City-area strawberry crops (with blackened blossoms and lost early harvests critical for Valentine's Day) and threats to tropical fish farms in southwest Hillsborough County, urging prayers for farmers facing financial hardship. Nationally, he covers the end of the brief government shutdown after the House's narrow vote and President Trump's expected signature. The highlight arrives in hour two: an uplifting interview with CPA and author Joseph Passaretti, who shares his resilient "My Journey" through diagnoses of multiple myeloma, amyloidosis, and later prostate cancer—offering hope, inspiration, and practical encouragement for those battling serious illness and their caregivers, emphasizing faith, normalcy, strong medical teams, and unwavering belief in God's strength.
