Former Senator DEBUNKS the Nebraska "Budget Crisis"

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Former Nebraska State Senator John Stinner joins the show to discuss his recent Nebraska Examiner column challenging claims that the state is facing a true budget crisis. A former chair of the Legislature’s Appropriations Committee, Stenner breaks down why the projected $472 million shortfall is not a revenue problem, but the result of policy choices, heavy reliance on one-time money, and the removal of long-standing fiscal guardrails. He also walks through how transfers, tax cuts, shrinking reserves, and agency funding decisions are shaping the current budget debate as lawmakers head into budget hearings.

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 11:00:00 GMT

Entrepreneur and hemp-industry leader Tina Jones joins the show to break down misconceptions about the federal government’s new hemp provisions and why they won’t destroy Nebraska’s industrial hemp industry.

She also highlights Nebraska’s emerging decortication facility near McCook, the surge in demand for hemp-based construction materials like hemp-lime and hempcrete, and her new collaboration with the UNL College of Architecture to teach the next generation of natural-building innovators.

EXCLUSIVE: Nebraska RETALIATES Against Omaha Tribe Over Medical Access

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 10:00:00 GMT

Attorney General John Cartier of the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska joins the show with breaking news the tribe says no other outlet has yet covered. Cartier details how the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office abruptly withdrew from ongoing negotiations over a tribal tobacco-tax compact—just hours before the tribe’s first Cannabis Commission meeting—after learning of the tribe’s plan to enter the state’s newly legalized medical-cannabis industry.

He calls the move “retaliation” against the tribe for exercising its sovereign right to regulate cannabis, and explains how the decision could cost the Omaha Nation hundreds of thousands in tax revenue. Cartier also outlines what the tribe’s new Cannabis Commission means for Nebraska patients, public health, and economic opportunity on the reservation.

Nebraska Lawmaker Reacts to New ICE Facility 'Cornhusker Clink'

Thu, 28 Aug 2025 10:00:00 GMT

Nebraska State Senator Margo Juarez joins the show to discuss her opposition to the proposed ICE detention facility in McCook—dubbed the "Cornhusker Clink"—calling for “policy, not punishment” in the state's approach to immigration. She shares concerns about transparency, oversight, and the impact on families and Nebraska’s overcrowded prison system. Senator Juarez also talks about her interim study on expanding passenger rail service across the state, her vision for more transportation options in Nebraska, and why voter participation in 2026 will be critical.

Sen. Juarez is hosting five town halls across the state to gather input about passenger train infrastructure. The town hall schedule follows:

- Columbus Town Hall - Tuesday from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Columbus Library (2500 14th St., Suite 2). This town hall will be facilitated in English with Spanish interpretation.

- Lincoln Town Hall - Sept. 5 from 6-7:30 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church (840 S. 17th St.).
