Join Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey for this special Friday night episode. The show was intended to explore the various filings for political office across the State of Indiana; however, an earlier snag made that impossible. That said, Henry County Sheriff John Sproles never fails to offer himself as fodder for the show! Therefore, Bilbrey will cover the latest "Official Statement" from Sheriff Sproles and share his thoughts on it. Bilbrey also has a few other bits and pieces to toss out for the viewers' consumption. While this won't be the show that was originally planned, it will definitely be one to watch! #ThePoliticalSpotlight

Many people have been discussing the incident that occurred on Saturday, January 10, 2026, involving an off-duty Henry County Sheriff's Deputy and two Henry County citizens (Amy & Brian Bell). Some have been saying they "WANT TO SEE THE WHOLE VIDEO," while others have been complaining that she "EDITED HER VIDEO." Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey has a message for ALL of those people! Bilbrey will then show a video that has NOT BEEN SEEN BEFORE. What it shows should make people question even more, "what went on during the traffic stop." This is just PART 1... there will be a follow-up PART 2 to this episode! But this episode should set the stage for many questions. And you can take it to the bank that Bilbrey will be searching for the answers! He will share them with everyone when he gets them. #ThePoliticalSpotlight

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. #ThePoliticalSpotlight

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey is back after the short Christmas 2025 break, now looking at the start of the last week of 2025... a week Bilbrey calls "No Man's Land..." It's a week when nothing gets done, as everyone waits until the start of the New Year. That said, Bilbrey has a few points of interest to share with everyone! So let's get it on! #ThePoliticalSpotlight

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

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. #ThePoliticalSpotlight

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! #ThePoliticalSpotlight
