Kristopher H. Bilbrey is a Political Activist and Commentator. He is a proud Hoosier and a God-fearing American citizen! He has been called a 'Government Watchdog,' 'the Mouth of the People,' a 'Bastard,' and much worse! With over 30 years of experience in the 'full contact sport of politics,' Bilbrey is uniquely able to connect with people's hearts and minds by teaching them the importance of becoming educated about politics and government, and then taking action to make a difference.
Kristopher H. Bilbrey is a common-sense, constitutional, conservative libertarian who is steadfast in his commitment to fairness, objectivity, transparency, and the truth. Despite being called a "wrecking ball to Democrats," he has no hesitation in holding Republicans accountable when necessary. He is dedicated to the idea of truth, justice, and the American way. He strives to hold those in power responsible for their actions or inactions, and his commentary is always sharp and on target!
Bilbrey has hosted several different political shows 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 2019), 'Live @ 9:35p' (in January 2020), and then 'The Bastards of Politics' (which launched in October 2022 and ran through August 2023).
However, with the demise of 'The Bastards of Politics' in August 2023, it was up to Bilbrey, along with his close and trusted teammates Brandon Rudd and Producer Kate Thornburg, to establish a permanent home for a style of political commentary that is very much needed now, more than ever!
Bilbrey, Rudd, and Producer Kate did exactly that when they not only laid the foundation for a better program but also created space for a genuine community where like-minded people can meet and share ideas. At the same time, individuals with different views and opinions are just as free to express themselves, enabling honest and often tough conversations to happen! And that's precisely what they achieved with: "The Political Spotlight!"
The Political Spotlight is a politically driven program focused on opinion, news, and entertainment.
The Political Spotlight is a platform that covers all aspects of politics at the local, state, and national levels. Its mission is to uncover and eradicate corruption in government and politics, and to uphold the Constitution of the United States. The show's message is clear: The old, corrupt way of doing business is over! The aim is to give all citizens the knowledge and motivation to stay informed and get involved.
The Political Spotlight team is dedicated to this mission.
Join the conversation and help make the world better one conversation at a time!
