#608 | $22,000 DelCo Bell + Early Voting + HCSD Records (Bell & Gulley)! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 21:00:00 -0500

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey kicks off episode 608 with a bit of history about Delaware County's 3rd Courthouse (built in 1887 and torn down in 1967) and a very expensive bell from that old...old Courthouse! ($22,000 to be exact!)

Next, Bilbrey shares his thoughts on Indiana House Bill 1359, specifically Amendment #2 to that bill. The amendment would cut early voting time in half and was presented by Indiana State Senator Mike Gaskill (R-Pendleton). Bilbrey has mixed feelings about this bill and would like more communication from both sides before a decision is made, but this is politics... so that is more than likely not going to happen!

Lastly, Bilbrey recaps his time at the Henry County Sheriff's Department on Tuesday, February 17, 2026. Bilbrey was in the 'House of Sproles' to review videos pertaining to two separate incidents: (The Bell Traffic Stop) & (The Nicholas Gulley Jail Incident).

Bilbrey has a lot to say about the situations and his ongoing attempt to uncover the truth.

#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!

#589 | The 2026 Can of Worms! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 21:00:00 -0500

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey welcomes contributing correspondent Dr. Katherine Callahan to the show to discuss the 2026 "can of worms" that citizens of Madison County and beyond will have to sift through to find the few good people to vote for in May and November.

It can seem hopeless at times, but that is why Bilbrey does what he does: to help people understand that we can make a difference and overcome this nonsense... if we educate ourselves, get active, and work together. We can defeat corruption and make this world a better place.

#582 | BIG NEWS + Bad Deputy + Upcoming Muncie City Council Mtg + Updates! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Sun, 04 Jan 2026 21:00:00 -0500

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's back to work we go... with corruption here and idiots there...

We're back! Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey has a LOT to cover in this 582nd episode!

From the upcoming Muncie City Council meeting and related developments to news from Blackford and Delaware Counties about an evil sheriff's deputy who found himself locked behind bars for a change. While he is innocent until proven guilty, he needs to find a new career quickly.

Then Bilbrey covers a few updates on a couple of issues that popped up right at the end of last year (like the burglary and shooting that occurred on Saturday, December 27, 2025... the arson and murder case that took place on Sunday, December 14, 2025... and a couple of last-minute, end-of-the-year campaign announcements).

And lastly, Bilbrey teases some BIG NEWS coming up on the horizon!

It's good to be back! 2026... here we come!
