Bilbrey then recaps the latest Unsafe Building Hearing Authority meeting, where the Mayor ignored calls to address his past controversial comments. From local to broader government levels, Bilbrey warns of a growing trend he calls “Public Disservice” — an attitude of “you get what you get” toward citizens.

Time will tell!\n\nAlso, completely unrelated to those three meetings, Bilbrey has two other points of interest to mention.\n\nFirst, the City of Muncie's Unsafe Building Housing Authority will meet on Thursday, August 14, 2025, and Bilbrey plans to attend to ask Mayor Dan Ridenour for an apology for the rude comment he made about a citizen at the July meeting.\n\nAnd second, Bilbrey briefly highlights a statement made by Munice Mayor Dan Ridenour on Tuesday, August 12, 2025. It seems more like an admission the Mayor has finally made after nearly four or five years, and it is crucial that as many people as possible hear this brief admission from Mayor Dan Ridenour.\n\nLike every other episode, you can skip this one, but you'll be missing out!

Time will tell!\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlso, completely unrelated to those three meetings, Bilbrey has two other points of interest to mention.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, the City of Muncie\u0026#39;s Unsafe Building Housing Authority will meet on Thursday, August 14, 2025, and Bilbrey plans to attend to ask Mayor Dan Ridenour for an apology for the rude comment he made about a citizen at the July meeting.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd second, Bilbrey briefly highlights a statement made by Munice Mayor Dan Ridenour on Tuesday, August 12, 2025. It seems more like an admission the Mayor has finally made after nearly four or five years, and it is crucial that as many people as possible hear this brief admission from Mayor Dan Ridenour.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike every other episode, you can skip this one, but you\u0026#39;ll be missing out!

The Local GOP Holds a Picnic! \u0026 Much More! | The Political Spotlight","url":"https://thepoliticalspotlight.fireside.fm/504","content_text":"On this 504th episode of 'The Political Spotlight,' Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey discusses the arrest of an Anderson City Police Officer. The officer was taken into custody by the FBI in a relatively quiet manner. Then, Bilbrey covers the picnic hosted by the local Delaware County Republican Party. They'll say it went off wonderfully, but anyone with eyes can see it appeared sparsely attended. Finally, Bilbrey shifts his focus to the busy week ahead. A Delaware County Solar Ordinance meeting, Anderson's Redevelopment Commission meeting, Madison County Council's August 2025 meeting, and the City of Muncie's Unsafe Building Hearing Authority meeting — it's going to be quite a week!\n\nFirst, Bilbrey discusses the surprising (or not so surprising) arrest of Anderson City police officer Tyray Wilson by federal agents on Tuesday, August 5, 2025 — reportedly on narcotics-related charges. Wilson was booked into the Delaware County (not Madison County) jail 24 hours after his arrest. He has remained there without a bond ever since. The feds have yet to release his formal charges, which has sparked widespread speculation. Some people are celebrating the arrest, while others are angry. What happens next? Bilbrey shares his thoughts on the situation.\n\nNext, Bilbrey discusses the Delaware County Republican Party picnic held on Saturday, August 9, 2025. Several statewide officeholders attended, but overall turnout seemed surprisingly low. Is this a sign that people are choosing to steer clear of the chaos and dysfunction that the State Republicans have been embroiled in lately? Do the local Republicans recognize this yet? What will it take? And if they don't see it or refuse to acknowledge it, what will that mean for the local Republican Party moving forward?\n\nLastly, Bilbrey covers several ongoing stories, such as the lieutenant governor of Indiana’s \"deepfake AI video\" scandal, the ongoing developments surrounding Muncie \u0026amp; Delaware County's political shake-ups and what they entail, and the busy upcoming week of important local meetings — including the Delaware County Plan Commission’s solar ordinance meeting on Tuesday, Anderson's Redevelopment Commission meeting \u0026amp; Madison County Council's meeting, both on Tuesday, and the City of Muncie's Unsafe Building Hearing Authority on Thursday.\n\nDo not miss this 504th episode of no-nonsense, hard-hitting, political commentary!

Bilbrey \u0026amp; Brandon Rudd\nProduced by: Kate Thornburg\nhttps://www.youtube.com/@ThePoliticalSpotlight\nhttps://rumble.com/c/ThePoliticalSpotlight\nhttps://ThePoliticalSpotlight.fireside.fm\nhttps://www.facebook.com/Bilbrey318\nhttps://www.facebook.com/PoliticalSpotlight318\nhttps://www.tiktok.com/@ThePoliticalSpotlight\nhttps://x.com/BilbreyLIVE\nEmail: tpsprogram@gmail.com\n© 2025 Lighthouse Studio.\n—","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eOn this 504th episode of \u0026#39;The Political Spotlight,\u0026#39; Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey discusses the arrest of an Anderson City Police Officer. The officer was taken into custody by the FBI in a relatively quiet manner. Then, Bilbrey covers the picnic hosted by the local Delaware County Republican Party. They\u0026#39;ll say it went off wonderfully, but anyone with eyes can see it appeared sparsely attended. Finally, Bilbrey shifts his focus to the busy week ahead. A Delaware County Solar Ordinance meeting, Anderson\u0026#39;s Redevelopment Commission meeting, Madison County Council\u0026#39;s August 2025 meeting, and the City of Muncie\u0026#39;s Unsafe Building Hearing Authority meeting — it\u0026#39;s going to be quite a week!\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, Bilbrey discusses the surprising (or not so surprising) arrest of Anderson City police officer Tyray Wilson by federal agents on Tuesday, August 5, 2025 — reportedly on narcotics-related charges. Wilson was booked into the Delaware County (not Madison County) jail 24 hours after his arrest. He has remained there without a bond ever since. The feds have yet to release his formal charges, which has sparked widespread speculation. Some people are celebrating the arrest, while others are angry. What happens next? Bilbrey shares his thoughts on the situation.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNext, Bilbrey discusses the Delaware County Republican Party picnic held on Saturday, August 9, 2025. Several statewide officeholders attended, but overall turnout seemed surprisingly low. Is this a sign that people are choosing to steer clear of the chaos and dysfunction that the State Republicans have been embroiled in lately? Do the local Republicans recognize this yet? What will it take? And if they don\u0026#39;t see it or refuse to acknowledge it, what will that mean for the local Republican Party moving forward?\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLastly, Bilbrey covers several ongoing stories, such as the lieutenant governor of Indiana’s \u0026quot;deepfake AI video\u0026quot; scandal, the ongoing developments surrounding Muncie \u0026amp; Delaware County\u0026#39;s political shake-ups and what they entail, and the busy upcoming week of important local meetings — including the Delaware County Plan Commission’s solar ordinance meeting on Tuesday, Anderson\u0026#39;s Redevelopment Commission meeting \u0026amp; Madison County Council\u0026#39;s meeting, both on Tuesday, and the City of Muncie\u0026#39;s Unsafe Building Hearing Authority on Thursday.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo not miss this 504th episode of no-nonsense, hard-hitting, political commentary!

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?

The City Council passed \"ordinance 2025\" (an ordinance raising EMS rates in the City).
