Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey examines the historic flooding emergency that struck East Central Indiana, particularly in southern Muncie and Delaware County, with impacts extending into Henry and Randolph counties. As first responders battled what has been reported as the area’s worst flooding in more than 113 years, Muncie and Delaware County’s public-safety communications system faced a crisis of its own. MPD radios reportedly experienced repeated outages; the primary Motorola communications tower near 18th Street and Sampson Avenue was found underwater; and the Fire and EMS paging system went down. Bilbrey examines reports indicating that no fully operational backup existed if the tower failed, forcing dispatchers and officers to rely on alternative communications while MPD responded primarily to Priority 1 calls. The episode examines what happened, the severity of the communications breakdown, and the questions officials must now address regarding the reliability, redundancy, and emergency preparedness of this critical public-safety system. #ThePoliticalSpotlight

#624 | WEIK Reporting! What's Really Going On? | The Political Spotlight
March 22nd, 2026 | 2 hrs 3 mins
becoming the story, false claim, hcsd, henry county indiana, henry county jail, henry county sheriff john m. sproles, henry county sheriff's department, jail commander stacey guffey, misinformation, negligence, nicholas gulley ii incident, the courier-times, travis weik, wrongful death suit
This 624th episode is a follow-up to Ep 623: "Becoming the Story!" It discusses the article published on Friday, March 20, 2026, by The Courier Times Editor/Reporter Travis Weik. The article, "More Jail Footage Reviewed Following Gulley's Death," reports on the death of Nicholas Gulley II on Friday, February 27, 2026, after being on life support in the ICU for over a month, following a ten-day stay at the Henry County Jail. The fact that reporter Travis Weik tried to start the article with a false claim and point fingers at Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey set things off on the wrong foot. Not to mention the strange feeling that Weik and the newspaper seem more focused on playing PR rep for Sheriff John M. Sproles than on investigating what actually happened and following the story to its true, factual conclusion. All this and more make Bilbrey and the team question what is really going on, and he covers it all in this episode! #ThePoliticalSpotlight
