Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey has just about had all the studio moving he can handle... not to mention it's happening right in the middle of the kickoff of the 2026 Election Season, as well as during what is shaping up to be a busier-than-usual "end-of-winter period," politically speaking!

It's all just a bit too much! And that's why this 610th episode is a "free association" show. A Monday-Funday (Free-for-All Chat)! But don't worry, Bilbrey will cover a few political and governmental odds and ends!

#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!

#503 | Big Resignation in Lt Gov's Office, Judge Arnett News, & More! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Thu, 07 Aug 2025 21:00:00 -0400

"Resignation Shock" from Indiana's second-highest office, "Disciplinary Charges" filed against Randolph County Judge, and "Political Spin" from the one and only, "evil" Ed Soliday, Indiana State Representative.

On this 503rd episode of 'The Political Spotlight,' Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey explores the latest "breaking news" from the Indiana Lieutenant Governor’s office. Communications Director Jim Kehoe suddenly resigned on Thursday morning, August 7, 2025, amid the ongoing fallout from the controversial AI deepfake video scandal. Bilbrey shares his thoughts on Kehoe's resignation, the ongoing drama, and what this departure could mean for the Lieutenant Governor's office and the Governor's administration overall.

Next, Bilbrey discusses newly filed disciplinary charges against Randolph County Superior Court Judge Dale Arnett — an investigation that has been ongoing for months. Bilbrey shares his thoughts on the current situation.

Then, as a follow-up to Episode 502, Bilbrey addresses State Representative Ed Soliday, who recently threatened the entire city of Portage, Indiana, via text. Soliday has issued a statement, admitting to sending the message, but his explanation raises eyebrows and questions, and honestly, Bilbrey just isn't convinced by what he's trying to sell!

Finally, Bilbrey looks into the vice president’s quiet, closed-door meeting with Indiana state officials. Why all the secrecy, and how long until Governor Braun calls for the "special session?"

From high-profile resignations to political spin and hidden meetings... Bilbrey keeps the spotlight where it belongs — on the government officials who don't seem to light the light!

#500 | THE FIVE HUNDREDTH EPISODE! | The Political Spotlight

Kristopher H. Bilbrey, Brandon Rudd, & Kate Thornburg (The Political Spotlight) — Sun, 03 Aug 2025 21:00:00 -0400

HERE IT IS — THE BIG 5-0-0! WOW... That is a lot of political commentary! Well, ok — enough of that! It's time to get to work. There is a lot to discuss!

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey celebrates this 500th episode the only way he knows how — by diving straight into the latest political and governmental issues impacting Muncie, Delaware County, and beyond. No fluff. No spin. Just straight talk. Let's get started... the topics for this episode are:

1️⃣ (Party Hopping in Muncie Politics)
City Councilor Jerry Dishman and former Councilor Roger Overby, both longtime Democrats, have switched to the Republican Party. What does this mean for local politics? Why does this keep happening, and will there be more swapping in the future?

2️⃣ (Muncie Government – August 2025)
Preview of the upcoming Muncie City Council meeting (Monday, August 4, 2025 @ 7 PM). A discussion about the DLGF’s 2026 Budget Workshop that was canceled last Thursday. Why was it scrapped, and what’s next for that meeting and the city’s 2026 budget process?

3️⃣ (Other Upcoming August 2025 Meetings)
— Delaware County Commissioners meeting.
Monday, August 4, 2025 @ 9 AM.

— Randolph County Commissioners meeting.
Monday, August 4, 2025 @ 9 AM.

— Winchester City Council meeting.
Monday, August 4, 2025 @ 6 PM.
Private Property Dispute - Bilbrey will be attending in person.

Tuesday, August 12, 2025 @ 6 PM.
Solar Ordinance discussion.

4️⃣ (The Text Message Question)
A citizen has made a complaint about a text message that his daughter received, which was allegedly sent by Delaware County Prosecutor Eric Hoffman. What is the context here? Bilbrey takes a deeper look into the situation to attempt to determine what went on.

5️⃣ (The Latest Story of Ongoing Police Corruption)
The former Chief Deputy Sheriff of Fayette County, Indiana, has been accused of working as a "mole" for a drug dealer who ran a multi-million dollar operation. This is just the latest in what is becoming a long line of law enforcement officers, other government officials, and public servants who are being implicated in illegal behavior. How many more are there? How far does this go? And how can this be stopped?

6️⃣ (BIG 500th Episode Announcement)
Bilbrey shares a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT with the audience!
