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

Bilbrey then discusses the results of the general election held on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, in various states across the country. Indiana was not among those states, as this is an off-year election. Indiana's election cycle will resume in January 2026. But can Hoosiers learn anything from the results elsewhere to help decide what might happen next year? Tune in and find out! #ThePoliticalSpotlight
