#603 | Drinking Water From a Firehose! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 21:00:00 -0500

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey has a lot going on and a lot to discuss with the audience. It's that time of year again!

From the City of Muncie and an ordinance that should have passed twice already but didn't, so it has been refiled, to a LOT of filings for political office in this 2026 election season, to a former City Councilor's OP-ED about the current insanity among the Muncie City Councilors... and, of course, there is always nonsense going on in Madison and Henry Counties.

There just isn't enough Bilbrey or the team to go around, and there is NEVER enough time in the day! That said, it is time for some of the very best political commentary on the face of the planet, so let's get to it!

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey and 'The Political Spotlight' are back after the Thanksgiving 2025 break, and it's time to get back to work. Bilbrey gives an overview of the key upcoming meetings scheduled for early December 2025.

He also discusses the "about-face" made by Indiana's State Senators at the very end of the news cycle last week, as everyone was heading into the Thanksgiving break. The Indiana State Senate will now be heading into session on Monday, December 8, 2025.

Let's roll!

#563 | What About the Other 133? MTG's News! Anthony v Kelly! & Hindsight! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Sun, 23 Nov 2025 21:00:00 -0500

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey returns for this 563rd episode of 'The Political Spotlight.'

Bilbrey examines the Prairie Creek Reservoir North Shore Camping fiasco more closely. It seems that Muncie Mayor Dan Ridenour may have excluded more "stakeholders" than just his PCR employees, as he delivered the "bad news" to Muncie's residents. This is just another example of Ridenour's shortsighted, narrow-minded approach.

Then, Bilbrey shifts his focus to the national stage, where Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG), a U.S. representative from Georgia's 14th District, recently submitted her resignation letter. Was this the right choice for her, or the wrong one? What message is she sending with her resignation? Bilbrey breaks it all down!

And then, a recent comment by political commentator Megan Kelly about the victims of Jeffrey Epstein has drawn criticism from several people, including none other than "2008's Mother of the Year" winner, Casey Marie Anthony. Was Kelly in the wrong? Does Anthony have a point, or should she crawl back into her hole and not come out again? Bilbrey presents both sides, and then he offers the only side that matters — HIS!

Finally, 2A advocate, attorney, and radio personality Guy Relford discussed an interesting case on his show over the weekend, focusing on "HINDSIGHT!" Bilbrey thought it would be a good topic to discuss, given its apparent relevance to current events in Indiana.

#524 | Solar Ordinance Delay & Voter List Fiasco! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 21:00:00 -0400

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey covers the Delaware County Commissioners' meeting held earlier this morning (Monday, September 15, 2025). For many residents of Delaware County, the top item on the Commissioners' agenda was the Solar Ordinance. However, instead of voting on the ordinance, the Commissioners decided to table it again to revise the language. Bilbrey is curious about why it is taking so long.

Next, Bilbrey looks toward the Indiana State House, as he has serious concerns about Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales, along with all the other ongoing issues involving Morales. He has now handed over the personal information of nearly 5 million registered Indiana voters to the federal government. As you can imagine, Bilbrey is not pleased.

Tune in for Bilbrey's thoughts on the Delaware County Commissioners' meeting and the situation with Indiana, Secretary of State Diego Morales and the personal information of all Hoosiers. Bilbrey also highlights a SUPER-FAN, Mr. or Mrs. Barton Tweaker, better known as "Bluestate49."

#507 | Public Disservice! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 21:00:00 -0400

In this 507th episode of 'The Political Spotlight,' Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey examines the ongoing "Public Disservice" being forced upon us.

First, Bilbrey talks about Muncie Mayor Dan Ridenour's admission that there will be no progress on Southway Plaza. It has only taken him three and a half years to admit what the public has known for almost the entire time. What does this mean for Muncie and the southside? Should citizens ignore this and move on?

Next, Bilbrey recaps today’s (Thursday, August 14, 2025) "Unsafe Building Hearing Authority" meeting. Unsurprisingly, Mayor Ridenour did not apologize for his controversial comments from last month, and they conducted business as if everything was normal!

That leads Bilbrey to discuss the overall behavior of elected and appointed officials from different governments. There seems to be a concerning trend where officials are not providing public service to their citizens; instead, they are engaging in what Bilbrey calls: "Public Disservice!"

The message to citizens seems to be: “You get what you get, and you aren't allowed to throw a fit. We don’t want to hear from you — so deal with it!”

Bilbrey considers the implications of this attitude and reflects on the question... Do we accept it, or do we fight to change it?

Tune in LIVE or via replay, you will not want to miss this episode!

*** UNFORTUNATELY, TECHNICAL ISSUES CAUSED THE SHOW TO WRAP EARLY!

#506 | Meetings Review: (ARC), (MCC), & (DMMPC)! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 21:00:00 -0400

This 506th episode of 'The Political Spotlight' will review not only three important meetings across three different municipalities but also examine what's wrong with government in these areas and many others!

For this task, Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey invites contributing correspondent Dr. Katherine Callahan to join him!

Bilbrey and Callahan review key discussion points from the three meetings held on Tuesday, August 12, 2025. Those meetings are:

Anderson Redevelopment Commission Meeting...
Madison County Council Meeting...
Delaware-Muncie Metropolitan Plan Commission Meeting...

As is often the case, there are both positive and negative points to take away from all the meetings, and some lessons that can be learned if only the public servants and the public alike would be willing to listen and accept what is being said! Time will tell!

Also, completely unrelated to those three meetings, Bilbrey has two other points of interest to mention.

First, 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.

And 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.

Like every other episode, you can skip this one, but you'll be missing out! So, it's best to make plans to listen LIVE or via replay!

#505 | Ty'ray Wilson's Charges! Lt. Gov. on WoWo! & Tuesday-Meeting Day! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 21:00:00 -0400

This 505th episode of 'The Political Spotlight' is jam-packed, and Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey is fired up, so let's cut through all the noise and get right to it!

First up, in preparation for tomorrow's busy meeting day (Tuesday, August 12, 2025), Bilbrey sets the stage with the first meeting at 5 p.m., when the Anderson Redevelopment Commission will meet to handle regular monthly business. 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!

Next, Bilbrey walks through the federal charging documents for Ty'ray Wilson...

And 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.

This will be one to watch LIVE or via replay, but either way, JUST WATCH!

#504 | The Feds Arrest a Cop! The Local GOP Holds a Picnic! & Much More! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Sun, 10 Aug 2025 21:00:00 -0400

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!

First, 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.

Next, 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?

Lastly, Bilbrey covers several ongoing stories, such as the lieutenant governor of Indiana’s "deepfake AI video" scandal, the ongoing developments surrounding Muncie & 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 & Madison County Council's meeting, both on Tuesday, and the City of Muncie's Unsafe Building Hearing Authority on Thursday.

Do not miss this 504th episode of no-nonsense, hard-hitting, political commentary! Which you can only catch right here — on 'The Political Spotlight.'
