we're in lincoln, nebraska. here are more of the words from williams jennings bryan from his cross of gold speech. >> they tell us the great cities are in favor of the gold standard. we reply that the great cities rest on our broad and fertile prairies, burn down your cities and leave our farms and your cities will spring up again as if by magic. but destroy our farms and the grass will grow in the streets of every city of the country. we cannot stop until the battle is fought. we cannot have the nation help us. instead of having a gold standard, because england has, we will restore by mettlism and then let england have by mettlism because the united states has. if they dare to come out in the open fields and attend the gold standard, the good thing, we will fight them to the utter most, standing behind us, producing masses of this nation and the world supported by the commercial interests, the laboring interests, and the toilers everywhere, we will answer the demand for gold standard by saying to them, you shal

we call it bringing the world to nebraska. the end result is that we have had chinese, japanese, hundreds of other countries are now investigating in nebraska. it's been absolutely amazing. i was told if you get 25 or 30 people there you'll be lucky. both of our con treferencconfere had more than 25 government leaders from all around the world. and for our asian friends, it's all about relationships and everything. taking a picture with them is very, very important. so for an entire hour, i took a picture with every single person who was visiting our state. university of nebraska was involved in this, major businesses in our state so we could showcase our state. we're going to continue to try to do that. final announcement i would make, anybody who would like to relocate to nebraska, my number is 402-471-2244. thank you. >> governor herbert. we'll give you that number one more time before we wrap up and if any other country wants the number, we'll give it to you. >> thanks to the u.s. chamber of commerce for inviting us to com

at the university of nebraska and josh joins us from phoenix. good evening. welcome to the program. >> caller: good evening. great show. thank you for your show. i wanted to ask something a little different. i wanted to see p if the gentleman could speak to mr. bryan's foreign policy and what he thought about, say, the spanish american war or american european colonialism. if you ever went abroad, and what would the gentlemen think how he would handle, for example, now afghanistan and iraq and the invasion? what was his mindset back then in terms of, you know, how the major colonial powers around the world were going into other countries and controlling them and such? what was his theory about that, about all of that and how did he feel? in general his foreign policy. thank you very much. >> he served as our secretary of state. >> after all, he served in the sparchish american war, but once the war ended, he opposed the occupation of the philippines. he was an anti-i am beer yalist. he did travel around the world for the whole year with his fami

we adopted a similar thing called nebraska wins. one of the things we heard particularly from small businesses was unemployment compensation was a barrier to employment. people would say it's a lot easier to collect unemployment, would you sign off that i sought to get a job because for a lot of people, the concern that if they went to a job that required some training to get into that, then if they didn't -- if that didn't work out, they wouldn't be able to go back on unemployment. so we patterned this after the georgia wins program. we created a bridge for about six weeks where you can stay on unemployment, you can still get assistance, but you can get the job skills you need and not risk losie ining your unemployment w is hopefully is enough time to get you in the door and get that job. >> the lame duck session from helle it was clear to me that congress was going to delay dealing with until after the election. he came one a much more vivid metaphor calling it the fiscal click. what i want to ask the governors, because i hear thi

about a month ago in lincoln, nebraska, yesterday in omaha, nebraska, we had over 100 employers in both of these situations show up, 400 or so veterans and their spouses as we try to connect them with an employer to get a good job. these men and women have served our country, defended our freedoms, defended our liberties. it's a much more difficult environment when you go over to iraq, afghanistan, some of the places we've had previously, and we need to do every single thing we can for these veterans. >> governor markell, wrap up for us, please. >> is in the last question? >> yes, sir. >> so i came here directly from millford, delaware, where we celebrated the fifth anniversary of opening our veterans' home. and, essentially, the point is, you know, we have 118 veterans in delaware who call that their home. and it's important that we take care of them, and it's also really important that we take care of those who are returning now. so the specific answer to the question many of the programs that the other governors just mentioned, plus we've just passed a tax credit for companies to hir

in nebraska there was tax incentives for data centers. in utah, they have a very interesting industrial banking regime that really has contributed to driving financial services sector growth in that state. tax and regulatory system kind of the dirt-bussing and the incentives and part of it as well. on the infrastructure side, we saw increased expansion of access to broadband targeting and incentivizing of specialized infrastructure, data centers being one of those. grid systems for energy and power distribution. for states where ports and airports are important, and they are important in all states but places that have these were making improvements across the board. some states established state infrastructure banks and funds. and then i'd say across the board there was a lot of encouragement of public and private partnerships. build nebraska for example will generate $60 million to $70 million per year for infrastructure investments. in delaware they have a new jobs infrastructure fund that is capitalized at $55 million. so those are a

how big of an issue is it for you in nebraska? as you talk to other governors, how big of an issue is it for them? is this a ticking time bomb that we better reconcile and start focusing on sooner rather than later? >> in nebraska, this is one of those issues where we have been on top of all along. we are in great shape. nationally, clearly it is a big issue. every time we have come into a situation where there has been an unfunded liability, we go to the employees and say you are going to increase your contribution rates and we will cover half of that. we have never allowed ourselves to allow that liability to grow. a lot of states and pensions have always looked the other way. we never did that. we are in much better shape. >> how about at the local level? >> no question. our largest city in omaha, they have a serious problem. previous mayors have looked the other way. is it keeps growing and growing. now it will probably be the number-one issue in the mayor's race in the month of may. >> we have already addressed pension reform

lincoln, nebraska, today 102 degrees. st. louis 99. wichita 106. a little bit of a break, not by much, for denver at 97 degrees. that's down from 105 yesterday. so the core of the heat has shifted just a little bit and it's going to do that again tomorrow and again over the weekend as it slowly migrates towards the east and southeastern united states. our temperature has dropped to 77 degrees here. a will the of other spots west of the city, upper 60s to low 70s. 71 for dulles. 68 for manassas. culpeper comfortable at 64 degrees. a will the to do with nice low dew points. this is the temperature that the air needs to cool to in order for dew to form. when you're in the 50s, it's comfortable. when it's above 65, it's noticeable and above 70. very uncomfortable, if not oppressive. we'll watch dew point numbers climb into the 60s and eventually up and over 70. so in anticipation of that higher heat and humidity, the excessive heat watch that was issued earlier today in effect for friday by the national weather service means it will feel like 110 degre

i've power sore of law at the university of nebraska. much of my work focuses on small business capital formation under federal securities law, and it's an honor to be able to address you on that subject today. i've recently written two articles on crowd funding, and i would like to focus my comments on the crowd funding provisions of the jobs act. i believe the crowd funding could spark a revolution in small business financing, opening up much-needed new sources of startup capital, but whether that happens depends in good part on the regulatory burden. those small offerings will be possible only if the cost of complying with securities regulation doesn't consume a large portion of the offering proceeds. the new federal securities law crowd funding exemption created by the jobs act is an important first step but that exemption isn't complete until the s.e.c. enacts and implements regulations. the usefulness of the crowd funding excels will depend in part on how the commission exercises its rather substantial regulatory authority. my writ

. >> welcome to nebraska. just inside the nebraska border.e if we're at ground zero or not. >> typically during a storm chase, the skies will be really sunny and clear and safe, but all of a sudden in the afternoon the clouds will just start boiling up out of no where and then the action quickly begins from there. >> okay, as you can see, things are starting to fire up. we've got some good convection here. >> john makes the risky choice to chase alone today. he does, however, make sure to stay connected. >> over here is the am radio. some of the antennas there. >> after three hours on the road, he sees the development he's been waiting for. >> behind me is a fully formed cell and i'm on the eastern side of it now, which means that i want to get around it. >> coming in behind the storm is the safest part of the storm because you're not threatened by the storm coming at you, but at the same time, you're in the part of the storm where any tornadoes will typically form. >> to his dismay, he sees he's in exactly the wrong place. >> unfortunately,

because nebraska had to change its law, but all 50 states have laws.hey are not working all that well because of the young women here, the single moms with unwed teen moms one recently, i think it was minnesota put a baby under a pine tree. and she was arrested and charged with abandonment because she didn't know to go to the hospital or to go to the fire department. she didn't know the law existed. so what is the solution here? >> i think having a safe haven makes sense if people know that there is a safe place where they can take a kid when they are that desperate it's better than any other alternative that you can think of in that case. >> i feel that way. in the u.s. it seems more humane when you can bring them to a hospital and actually give it to someone or a fire department or police department if that is the absolute last resort, i would rather see that than obviously the child killed or an abortion. but, in europe, my concern with the baby boxes part is medieval and germany is the wealthiest country in the eu and they have the most. so it's no

>> one of our parks, homestead park in homestead national memorial in nebraska, that commemorates the the very first homestead that was accomplished under the homestead act. the gentleman files his claim one minute after midnight. 160 acre. that commemorates the homestead act, one of the really important pieces of legislation in the civil war and there was a conference in nebraska on the homestead act, which established the land grad colleges and railroad act. there were a lot of domestic, terribly important domestic pieces of legislation that hadn't been passed. just this past week, april 16th was the 150th anniversary of the emancipation of slaves in the district of columbia, so there are a number of things that we're commemorating in addition to kem rating significant battles of the civil war. >> how long have you been a historian with the parks service? >> i have been a historian, i've been in the parks service for about 29 years. part of that time, i was in administration and superintendent, which meant sometimes i was a historian and sometimes, i was not. but i have been a histo

well, we're wondering if out of nebraska, if ben nelson is saying no, that was bill nelson in floridaactually, senator nelson ought to check with his colleague in montana, senator john caster. i'm not making this up. senator tester, because we ran an ad out there questioning his vote for obamacare, betraying seniors, if you will, senator tester actually pulled out a c-span clip that showed that he was vote number 52, i believe it w was. how dumb could he be. someone said to me finally well, let me give you a direct quote here. sandra nelson says they've got it all wrong, again, bill nelson. well, what i want to say to him, senator nelson, if you were not the deciding vote for obamacare, what number were you, since we're playing a number game, i guess. but we do apologize to senator nelson, if we're making him uncomfortable, but the fact is we should all say what number we were, i guess the senator should. but had he not voted for the bill, it would not have passed. it's that simple. even the orlando sentinel in my home state of florida did say you can argue that the bill needed 60 vot

in fremont, nebraska, a nebraska city manager described it this way: smaller utilities in rural areas will have difficulty in getting vendors and contractors to supply and install the equipment this time frame. being public utilities, we have to follow a public letting process and cannot just negotiate a design-build contract with a contractor as an investor owned utility can. what happens to fremont's 26,000 residents? well, they will face rate increases of between 20% and 25% to cover the compliance costs of the rule when combined with the requirements of the two other rules. increasing electricity bills by one-fourth is huge. it's a huge impact on fremont families. in the city of grand island, nebraska, estimates that the utility mact rule will require three to five years of planning and financing and construction. for hastings, the same sobering outlook. big expense, rushed time frame and a worried community trying to figure out how they pay for it. for hastings alone, the cost of compliance in this rule and the cross-state rule is estimated to be $95 million over five years. hast
