However, this is also the meeting where they are supposed to lay out the “rules” for how they think citizens are supposed to behave to participate. Should be interesting to see what all shakes out! Then, at 6 p.m., the Madison County Council will meet for its August 2025 meeting. This is also their first meeting since Council President Scott Green unveiled his \"rules\" for how he thinks the public should behave. It must be something in the water in Madison County. And finally, at 6 p.m., the Delaware County Plan Commission will meet to discuss the Delaware County Solar Ordinance. And Bilbrey is fired up about this one. He's ready to unload, because this is one of the most important issues Delaware County has been dealing with; however, \"the powers that be\" are more concerned about how long the meeting will take and controlling speech. They are not focused on listening to the people!\n\nNext, Bilbrey walks through the federal charging documents for Ty'ray Wilson...\n\nAnd finally, Indiana’s Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith appeared on WOWO Radio in Fort Wayne today. While he did speak, he didn't say anything of real value! Even though the Beckwith scyophants think otherwise.\n\nThis will be one to watch LIVE or via replay, but either way, JUST WATCH!\n\n============================\n\nVIDEO version of Ep 505: https://youtube.com/live/mmzjGRneCQI . . .\n\n============================\n\nEnjoy our content?

However, this is also the meeting where they are supposed to lay out the “rules” for how they think citizens are supposed to behave to participate. Should be interesting to see what all shakes out! Then, at 6 p.m., the Madison County Council will meet for its August 2025 meeting. This is also their first meeting since Council President Scott Green unveiled his \u0026quot;rules\u0026quot; for how he thinks the public should behave. It must be something in the water in Madison County. And finally, at 6 p.m., the Delaware County Plan Commission will meet to discuss the Delaware County Solar Ordinance. And Bilbrey is fired up about this one. He\u0026#39;s ready to unload, because this is one of the most important issues Delaware County has been dealing with; however, \u0026quot;the powers that be\u0026quot; are more concerned about how long the meeting will take and controlling speech. They are not focused on listening to the people!\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNext, Bilbrey walks through the federal charging documents for Ty\u0026#39;ray Wilson...\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd finally, Indiana’s Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith appeared on WOWO Radio in Fort Wayne today. While he did speak, he didn\u0026#39;t say anything of real value!

Bilbrey explores the latest \"breaking news\" from the Indiana Lieutenant Governor’s office. Communications Director Jim Kehoe suddenly resigned on Thursday morning, August 7, 2025, amid the ongoing fallout from the controversial AI deepfake video scandal. Bilbrey shares his thoughts on Kehoe's resignation, the ongoing drama, and what this departure could mean for the Lieutenant Governor's office and the Governor's administration overall.\n\nNext, Bilbrey discusses newly filed disciplinary charges against Randolph County Superior Court Judge Dale Arnett — an investigation that has been ongoing for months. Bilbrey shares his thoughts on the current situation.\n\nThen, as a follow-up to Episode 502, Bilbrey addresses State Representative Ed Soliday, who recently threatened the entire city of Portage, Indiana, via text. Soliday has issued a statement, admitting to sending the message, but his explanation raises eyebrows and questions, and honestly, Bilbrey just isn't convinced by what he's trying to sell!\n\nFinally, Bilbrey looks into the vice president’s quiet, closed-door meeting with Indiana state officials. Why all the secrecy, and how long until Governor Braun calls for the \"special session?\"\n\nFrom high-profile resignations to political spin and hidden meetings...

Bilbrey explores the latest \u0026quot;breaking news\u0026quot; from the Indiana Lieutenant Governor’s office. Communications Director Jim Kehoe suddenly resigned on Thursday morning, August 7, 2025, amid the ongoing fallout from the controversial AI deepfake video scandal. Bilbrey shares his thoughts on Kehoe\u0026#39;s resignation, the ongoing drama, and what this departure could mean for the Lieutenant Governor\u0026#39;s office and the Governor\u0026#39;s administration overall.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNext, Bilbrey discusses newly filed disciplinary charges against Randolph County Superior Court Judge Dale Arnett — an investigation that has been ongoing for months. Bilbrey shares his thoughts on the current situation.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen, as a follow-up to Episode 502, Bilbrey addresses State Representative Ed Soliday, who recently threatened the entire city of Portage, Indiana, via text. Soliday has issued a statement, admitting to sending the message, but his explanation raises eyebrows and questions, and honestly, Bilbrey just isn\u0026#39;t convinced by what he\u0026#39;s trying to sell!\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, Bilbrey looks into the vice president’s quiet, closed-door meeting with Indiana state officials. Why all the secrecy, and how long until Governor Braun calls for the \u0026quot;special session?\u0026quot;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom high-profile resignations to political spin and hidden meetings...

Bilbrey explores the latest chaos and turmoil emerging from Indiana state government in this 502nd episode of 'The Political Spotlight.'\n\nFirst up, Bilbrey looks at the deepfake AI scandal that has been reported to have taken place in the Indiana Lt. Governor's Office. Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith finds himself at the center of a growing crisis involving a deepfake video allegedly featuring the wife of Craig Haggard, a Republican State Representative for District 57. Top staffers in his office reportedly viewed the video but failed to follow proper protocol. Now, instead of taking responsibility, Beckwith is denying the incident and targeting internal leaks.\n\nBilbrey then discusses the crazy idea of redrawing Indiana's congressional maps only four years after they were last set, despite Indiana law requiring redistricting every 10 years. Vice President J.D. Vance will meet with Governor Mike Braun and Republican leaders on Thursday, August 7, 2025, to push for a special session of the Indiana General Assembly — all in an effort to create another GOP congressional seat. Bilbrey highlights the legal, ethical, and political issues tied to this outrageous power grab.\n\nNext, Bilbrey shares a new story circulating from northern Indiana. Austin Bonta, Republican Mayor of Portage, Indiana, issued a statement shedding light on a threat made against the entire city of Portage, and Bonta, as Mayor... by longtime political hack and dirtbag, State Representative of district 4, Ed Soliday. The threatening message was sent from Soliday to the Portage Mayor regarding his opinions on the recent increases in some utility bills that many citizens have been questioning. The Mayor was simply informing the citizens that the local government had no control over the rate hikes, and he was letting his constituents know that he shared their frustration. He also explained who is responsible for those increases and shared some personal opinions about it. That post led Soliday to send him a very harsh message, in which he called citizens \"fools\" and \"public noise boxes.\" Soliday concluded the message by saying, \"I promise I will work hard to make certain your city never gets any revenue increases!!!\"\n\nJust before wrapping up, Bilbrey quickly reviews the \"three-minute short\" City of Muncie Board of Works meeting from Wednesday, August 6, 2025. The meeting was unusual because, for the first time in six years, the BOWs members did not disclose the total amount of the claims they were paying. That definitely raised questions for both Bilbrey and Producer Kate, as it should. It could be nothing... or... it could be a MAJOR ISSUE! That means the claims will have to be gone over with a fine-tooth comb!\n\nLastly, Bilbrey informed everyone that on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ruled that \"Indiana's 25-foot 'buffer zone' around police\" is unconstitutional. The law, originally passed in April 2023 by the Indiana General Assembly, has been on hold since 2024 due to a judge's ruling after it was challenged in court by a coalition of Indiana media organizations. Although more work remains, this ruling was a major victory for the First Amendment, Constitutional Advocates, Liberty \u0026amp; Freedom supporters, and the media and press. However, similar cases are still pending in Louisiana and Tennessee.\n\nDon’t miss this must-watch episode as Bilbrey uncovers the layers of Indiana’s political chaos with insight and sharp commentary.\n\n============================\n\nVIDEO version of Ep 502: https://youtube.com/live/OIdZaWuzUVo . . .\n\n============================\n\nEnjoy our content?
