Kristopher H. Bilbrey is a Political Activist & Commentator. He is a good Hoosier & a God-fearing American citizen! He has been referred to as a 'Government Watchdog,' 'the Mouth of the People,' a 'Bastard,' & much worse! With over 30 years of experience in the 'full contact sport of politics,' Bilbrey is uniquely positioned to engage the hearts & minds of listeners by teaching them the importance of getting educated when it comes to politics and government & then getting active in making a difference!
Kristopher H. Bilbrey is a common-sense, constitutional, conservative libertarian who is unwavering in his commitment to fairness, objectivity, transparency, and the truth. Despite being labeled a 'wrecking ball to Democrats in Indiana,' he has no qualms about holding Republicans accountable when needed. His dedication to liberty and holding those in power responsible for their actions or inactions ensures that his work is done with 'truth, justice, and the American' way in mind. And his commentary is always insightful and on point!
Bilbrey has hosted several different political shows/programs/podcasts over the years, starting with: 'What's Up with Winchester' and 'Live @ 8:35p' (both in 2015), 'Perception IS Reality w/Kristopher H. Bilbrey' (in April of 2019), 'Live @ 9:35p' (starting in January 2020), and then 'The Bastards of Politics' (which launched in October 2022).
However, with the demise of 'The Bastards of Politics' in August of 2023... it was up to Bilbrey, along with his close & trusted compatriots Brandon Rudd, Producer Kate Thornburg, and (Kate's husband Niles) to build a forever home for a brand of political commentary that is very much needed now, more than ever!
Bilbrey, Rudd & the Thornburgs did just that when they not only built the foundation for a better program... but also created the space for an actual community where like-minded individuals can meet and discuss ideas. At the same time, folks with differing views and opinions can feel just as free to express themselves... so that good, honest, and often difficult conversations can be had! And that is just what they did with: "The Political Spotlight!"
The Political Spotlight is a politically driven opinion, news, & entertainment program.
The Political Spotlight is a platform that covers ALL things political on the local, state, and national fronts. Its mission is to identify and eradicate corruption within government and politics and to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. The show's message is clear: The old, corrupt way of doing business IS OVER! The goal is to empower all citizens with the knowledge and inspiration to get informed and involved.
The Political Spotlight team is committed to this mission.

We, the people, have lost our way... we continue giving the power back to lousy, no-good, corrupt, vile, rotten politicians. And as soon as we put them back in power, we think something will be different! Politics today is like a grim scene from the Dark Ages, when people, in the grip of famine, would start a "stew" with whatever leftover food they had. They would keep adding to it, even if the meats they added were old and rotten. They called it a "Perpetual Stew!" It's time to toss out the bad and start again, fresh!
