Sheriff Jeff Diedrich joins Tom Miller to discuss the realities of law enforcement in Williamson County — from intensive deputy training and tornado rescue operations to the Illinois Safe-T Act's impact on repeat offenders. The sheriff breaks down the controversial Route 37 incident in full detail, including the body camera footage, the federal lawsuits that were voluntarily withdrawn, and the state investigation that closed the case as unfounded. Plus, how State's Attorney Ted Hampson and grand jury indictments are driving a new era of accountability in Williamson County.

Over 56,000 people left Illinois in just one year. Why? Senator Terri Bryant has the answers, and she is being straightforward about it.
In this episode, we explore the heavy tax burden affecting Illinois families, a late-night assisted suicide bill lacking essential safeguards, an energy policy that could lead to rolling blackouts by 2030, and a road funding formula that allocates 85 cents of every dollar directly to Chicago. This is the conversation Springfield doesn't want you to hear.
