� TONIGHT — There’s a lot to unpack.

Join Dan & Dawna Wilson LIVE at 7 PM Pacific for a new episode of Liberty Without Compromise.

First: Are Kootenai County’s license plate readers really shut down?

Rumors have continued to circulate that KCSO may still be using—or have some level of access to—the LPR system despite discontinuing its contract with Motorola. Dan submitted a NEW public-records request looking for answers, and what came back is anything but clear.

One of the biggest questions: the hardware is still on the patrol cars.

What are those cameras capable of doing while that hardware remains installed? Can they still collect video or other data? Is there another means of accessing them? And if they're currently inactive, how easily could they become active again through software or a new agreement?

We’ll show you what the records say, what they DON'T say, and why we still have questions.

Then — you asked for it.

Last week we played portions of Sheriff Bob Norris’s interview with the Coeur d’Alene Police Department, and we received so many requests to hear the full interview that tonight we're going to air it and give it a much more comprehensive breakdown.

There are things worth examining on BOTH sides of that interview.

We’ll look more closely at Norris’s statements, his characterization of events and some of the inconsistencies and unusual moments in his account. But we also have questions about the interview itself. At times, the investigator's approach seems remarkably accommodating—giving Norris extensive opportunities to explain his grievances and establish his version of events on the record rather than pressing some of the obvious questions.

Listen for yourself and tell us what YOU hear.

And then we’re doing something different: Q&A with Dan.

Over three years of shows, you’ve learned a lot about Dan—but mostly in fragments, as issues have come up. Tonight we're putting some of the most frequently asked questions, criticisms and areas where he is often misunderstood directly to him.

No speeches prepared in advance. Just questions and answers.

It should be one of the more thought-provoking—and possibly revealing—segments we've done.

The surveillance state remains powerful, invasive and all-consuming—but recent victories suggest the tide may be starting to turn.

Dr. John Padfield joins us with updates from his Brush Fire Tours, what Florida has done to push back and the growing number of cities dropping their contracts with Flock Safety.

Then Leo Hohmann joins the conversation to explain why the threat goes far beyond license-plate-reading cameras. We’ll examine the expanding surveillance infrastructure, the technology behind it, the role of massive data centers and what Americans need to understand about where all of this may be heading.

There are some promising wins—but the broader fight is far from over.

PLUS: We have the audio from Sheriff Bob Norris’ interview with Coeur d’Alene Police Detective Chapman regarding the investigation surrounding the Red Toyota Tundra crash.

The June 3 interview was conducted to discuss what Norris described as “false allegations circulating on social media.” Norris claims he was defamed and suffered greatly because of statements made by London Eden, a young man who said he witnessed the events, along with the citizens and citizen journalists who shared Eden’s account online.

Throughout the interview, Norris repeatedly suggests there was a malicious motive behind the allegations while insisting he did not intend to interfere with the investigation.

The full interview runs approximately 20 minutes—and frankly, much of it is not especially riveting—but we’ll share portions of the audio and discuss the larger question it raises:

Why was Sheriff Norris so personally invested in publicly defending this incident and drawing even more attention to it?

Was this simply an effort to correct the record—or was it a convenient distraction from far more serious questions surrounding the Sheriff’s Office?

Join Dan and Dawna Wilson TONIGHT at 7 PM Pacific for Liberty Without Compromise.

When the truth hurts.

disturbing comment appeared beneath a recent Liberty Without Compromise social media post discussing government surveillance and automated license plate readers.

The comment did not name or threaten any specific individual. It was a broad statement about elected officials, but its language explicitly advocated using violence and force as a means of removing politicians from office.

We removed the comment as soon as we became aware of it.

Hayden City Councilman Ed DePriest had already seen it, however, and believed the rhetoric was serious enough to warrant a public response. He addressed the issue during a Hayden City Council meeting, and the controversy subsequently became the subject of an August 14 Coeur d’Alene Press article that reproduced the comment in full and included DePriest’s concerns about increasingly aggressive political rhetoric in North Idaho.

Tomorrow night, DePriest joins us LIVE to talk about it.

� Dan Wilson and Ed DePriest will sit down face-to-face to discuss the comment, DePriest’s response to it, and the much larger questions it raises:

� How far does free speech extend?

� When does extreme political rhetoric cross the line from protected expression into something more serious?

� How much latitude should citizens have to use shocking or inflammatory language when expressing anger toward government?

� How should elected officials respond when rhetoric advocates violence broadly, but does not threaten a specific person?

And perhaps the biggest question:

Where should we draw the line?

We’ll show you the original comment, hear directly from Councilman DePriest about why he responded as he did, and have an open conversation about free speech, political anger, public safety and the difference between defending someone’s right to speak and defending what they actually say.

Then you can decide for yourself.

A North Idaho family's fight against a proposed 5,100-acre AI data center

Brendan and Kassi Solberg left North Idaho with their six children and moved to rural Montana with a pretty simple dream: more time together, room to farm and homestead, and a place to raise their family.

44 days later, they learned that a massive 5,100-acre data center campus was being proposed just minutes from their new home.

What followed has turned this husband-and-wife team into unlikely activists in a fight over one of the largest proposed data center developments in Montana — raising questions about land, water, energy, transparency, local control and just how much say ordinary citizens should have when enormous projects come to their communities.

Kassi has since helped lead an effort to put data-center approval directly before Yellowstone County voters.

Tonight, Brendan and Kassi Solberg join us LIVE to tell the story themselves: what they discovered, what they've encountered over the past seven months, why they decided to fight back, and what they believe people in communities like ours should learn from their experience.

This is exactly the kind of conversation Liberty Without Compromise exists to have.
