#574 | President Donald J. Trump's LIVE Address to the Nation (12.17.25)! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 21:00:00 -0500

Episode 574 opens with President Donald J. Trump's LIVE Address to the Nation at 9 p.m. (ET) on Wednesday, December 17, 2025.

Following the president's speech, Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey examines issues affecting Indiana, including the 2026 election cycle and developments among candidates for state office.

Bilbrey then discusses the City of Muncie's Parks Board meeting on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, and notes that Dustin Clark has been overseeing all matters related to Prairie Creek Reservoir—a fact that should upset everyone!

Bilbrey calls on Mayor Dan Ridenour to hand over planning for what will be the "NEW" Prairie Creek Reservoir to a board or a group of stakeholders from Muncie and across Delaware County. This should not be planned solely by the Mayor or Dustin Clark.

Next, Bilbrey turns to the Muncie Board of Works meeting, highlighting the "lowlights" of that production.

Lastly, Bilbrey reports that Spartech LLC, a plastics manufacturer specializing in engineered acrylics and thermoplastics for the healthcare, aerospace, and packaging industries, will lay off 125 employees beginning December 23, 2025. It's always bad when a business closes and jobs are lost; it's even worse when that company just asked the city for a five-year tax abatement plan in December 2023.

#557 | Thursday, November 13, 2025 - Chit Chat! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 21:00:00 -0500

This 557th episode of 'The Political Spotlight' will be an open-topic show!

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey is currently working on a few topics that aren't quite ready to explore yet, and even though it seems like a lot is happening, everything still feels like it's moving at a snail's pace.

There are a few odds and ends to cover as we head into the weekend; this is always a strange time of year, politically speaking. But, as usual, Bilbrey will make the most of it!

#546 | Records, Updates, Scandals, & Shake-Ups! (Local & State)! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Sun, 26 Oct 2025 21:00:00 -0400

After taking a week off due to a funeral, Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey and the rest of 'The Political Spotlight' crew are back! There are many topics to cover—so grab your favorite snack and drink, sit back, and let's get started!

First, Bilbrey highlights several "records" that the City of Muncie finally released. The documents relate to Dustin Clark, Flatland Resources, and the Ridenour Administration's efforts to build the new Fire Station 5.

Next, Bilbrey moves on to the recent #SprolesWatch! Bilbrey shares the latest information he's gathered from multiple sources. This is a sensitive subject, and it will be handled carefully.

Staying on the topic of Henry County Law Enforcement for a moment, Bilbrey shares his thoughts on a video currently circulating about the Middletown and Knightstown Police Departments. There is a lot to consider with this topic, and it should be looked at with an understanding of what Indiana law says about many of the issues discussed in the video. Bilbrey explains it all in this episode.

Then, Bilbrey discusses the recent arrest of Jonathan Peternel, the adult son of Nathan Peternel, a mentor and close friend of Indiana's Lt. Governor, Micah Beckwith. Similar to the topic of Sheriff John Sproles, this could have been an issue that wasn't political. However, due to actions taken by those involved, it has become a matter of concern.

Finally, Bilbrey explores the possibility that Indiana Governor Mike Braun will call a "special session" of the Indiana General Assembly on Monday, October 27, 2025, solely to redistrict Indiana's Congressional Districts—something most Hoosiers neither want nor understand. Bilbrey covers it all here.

This is definitely a show you DO NOT want to miss!
