#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.

#571 | Indiana Redistricting FAILS + Ivy Announces D34 Run + Sulek Arrest! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 21:00:00 -0500

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey shares his thoughts on the big news from the Indiana State House! That's right, the Indiana State Senate met today, and in a vote of 19 YEAS (in favor) to 31 NAYS (against), they (10 Democrats and 21 Republicans for very different reasons) rejected mid-decade congressional redistricting.

There is, of course, a lot to discuss about everything that happened both during and after, and Bilbrey shares all the essential information here.

Then, to bring it closer to home, Richard Ivy has announced his plans to run for Indiana's State House District 34, currently held by Democrat Sue Errington. That means the Republicans will have a primary choice to make in that race.

It has long been believed that this term would be her last, but, to our knowledge, she has not yet confirmed that; however, there have been rumors that another Democrat has been considering or has been considered to take Sue's place. Bilbrey will discuss that as well!

And lastly, Bilbrey heads to Winchester, Randolph County, Indiana, for what??? Well, to talk about sex crimes and an arrest for Possession of Child Pornography... WHAT ELSE? It's Winchester, Randolph County!

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 21:00:00 -0500

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey covers the "2026 Organizational Day" (Tuesday, November 18, 2025) of the Indiana General Assembly. For everyone wanting a vote on the possibility of "Indiana Congressional redistricting"... a vote by the Indiana State Senators did take place today.

Bilbrey then discusses the press conference scheduled for Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at 1:30 p.m. on the 3rd floor of Muncie City Hall. Muncie Mayor Dan Ridenour will announce important information regarding "Muncie City Parks." What could this information be? Bilbrey has some thoughts.

#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!
