On the September 17, 2026 edition of The Bill Bunkley Show (The Briefing) from Tampa, host Bill Bunkley opens with an enthusiastic update on the Tampa Bay Rays, who are lighting up Tropicana Field and closing in on a possible American League East title with a growing lead over the Yankees, a potential first-round bye, and home-field advantage deep into the postseason after stadium approval for 2029. He shares a personal health update from his first radiation treatment at Moffitt Cancer Center for aggressive basal-cell carcinoma linked to post-bone-marrow-transplant medications and prior open-heart surgery, urging listeners to protect their skin in the Florida sun. The conversation turns to the housing market as the Federal Reserve’s rate hike pushes 30-year mortgages above 7 percent, raising questions about whether Florida’s strong in-migration will buffer it from cooling prices, longer days-on-market, and a ripple effect on appraisals—especially for entry-level and mid-range homes—while high-end properties and equity products remain more resilient. Geopolitically, Bunkley examines President Trump’s signals of a major decision on Iran after seven months of conflict, a forthcoming meeting with Gulf state leaders during the UN General Assembly, rising oil prices near $104 a barrel, and three possible paths forward (escalation, status quo, or withdrawal), with a caller advocating Abraham Accords expansion plus decisive action. A lighter segment revisits Florida Keys treasure hunting and Mel Fisher’s ongoing recovery of the 1622 wreck Nuestra Señora de Atocha, including a newly found 55-pound copper ingot. The hour closes with an in-depth interview with Pastor Paul Begley, co-author of Trump versus the Beast: A World on Fire Needs a Hero (with Troy Anderson, foreword by Kevin Sorbo), exploring biblical prophecy, the multi-headed “beast” system of global control, the Ten Kings as industry titans, surveillance technology, digital currency, and Trump’s role as a divinely timed counterforce in the end-times timeline.
