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.
• Middle East Milestone: Celebration as Israel recovers the remains of the last October 7 hostage (police officer Ran Gvili) from a Gaza cemetery – closing a painful chapter and potentially unlocking the next phase against Hamas. 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.
• Local Love & Listener Voices: Birthday shoutouts to executive producer Yumiko and Hillsborough County's 192nd anniversary, plus engaging calls on faith, politics, and staying vigilant.

On this special Thanksgiving Eve edition of The Briefing, Bill Bunkley reflects on the deep roots of America’s Thanksgiving tradition — even in the darkest hours of war. Hear powerful presidential Thanksgiving proclamations from George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Calvin Coolidge, FDR, JFK, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush that call the nation to gratitude, repentance, and dependence on Almighty God.

Bill also shares personal memories, encourages safe holiday travel, highlights Trail Life USA and Wreaths Across America, and celebrates the dismissal of the Georgia election-interference case against President Trump.

Tragically, the program is overshadowed by breaking news out of Washington, D.C.: two West Virginia National Guard members are shot and killed just blocks from the White House. Bill leads in prayer for the fallen troops, their families, and our nation.

A sobering, yet hope-filled reminder that even in trial and loss, Americans have always been called to give thanks to the God who remains our refuge and strength.
