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.
