Join Bill Bunkley on The Bill Bunkley Show for a faith-informed look at today's headlines and heart moments. Broadcasting live from sunny Tampa, Bill reflects on America's blessings while the nation grapples with a deadly winter monster storm that's claimed lives, left millions in the dark, and canceled thousands of flights. He shares a relatable personal tale of losing his smartphone in Tallahassee – a reminder of how fragile our modern lives can be – and urges listeners to back up their data and count everyday mercies.
- Weather & Gratitude: From record Tampa warmth to plunging cold and frost warnings, Bill contrasts Florida's fortune with the nationwide ice apocalypse (over 20+ deaths reported, widespread power outages from Texas to New England), calling for prayer and aid for those suffering.
- Border Tensions & Law Enforcement: Deep dive into the fatal Minneapolis shooting of armed protester Alex Preddy during ICE operations, with caller insights on open borders, paid agitators, media bias, and support for federal agents under siege.

Plus, updates on the USS Abraham Lincoln's positioning, rising ops against Hezbollah, and looming decisive action against Iran.
- Cuba on the Brink: President Trump's push for regime change in Cuba by year's end, as the communist government's fragility grows post-Venezuela fallout – a hopeful note for freedom-loving Floridians and Cuban-Americans.
