we are even affecting trade month nebraska so the s answer isn't free fonts nebraska per se. this is not sentimentalism. you basically talk about something that needs to exist in the current environment so what we need is not remembrance but progress towards what we once had but in the current and future form. this is the important part, this is the agenda book. you areoo remembering and applyg it to the future. we are losing a shared understanding of what it means to be an american but there are solutions to the problem. a lot of conservatives have said etthis. it might be a problem or the sense that something is more important than being an american per se. you are saying something slightly different than that so here's how i want youuhe to expn this to the folks watching the show today. there are two americans that hold the solution to the problem. madison george washington. tell us how james madison can help us today. >> i'm fascinated by lots of reasons historically and because it caught the survey classes i've got to admit he should get you excited about a lot and they

he just won reelection in nebraska. congratulations on your victory. your take. governor. is it rise for democrats to challenge president trump on everything, iran, china, impeachment probes, everything? >> i think that would be a mistake. many of these policies are great policies. trade is not a partisan issue it's an issue that impacts all of us. when you get good results, renegotiating nafta and usmca, that's important. the iran deal is something that's a national security issue. in my part of the country people were not happy with the deal that was struck before. there is issues that are going to be mistakes if the democrats take them on because it will alienate them further from main real america. liz: maxine waters is threatening to go after trump's finances, subpoenaing his record from deutsche bank. >> democrats will get tied up in continues that don't have to do with advancing the policy of how to advance our nation. what they should be focused on is how is their policy and agenda going to help thage american. they are pinning their wheels. they should be focused

jared, i wonder how the needle might be moving, again, when it comes to health care we had utah, nebraskand idaho all vote to expand medicaid. so this whole idea of rolling back some of these provisions in obamacare, you know, those are red states, seems to be again in question what do you think happens there? what do you think those votes may have signalled. >> well, you're exactly right to focus on those by the way, that's where i think democrats won big last night minimum wages, medicaid expansion, ex-felons in florida, those are all very big deals obamacare in my view was already here to stay when you had a bunch of republicans out there pretending to want to protect pre-existing conditions in the campaign, that told you that obamacare is not going away now with the house flipping, obamacare is the law of the land and it's going to stay that way. what you're going see from house democrats are a lot of policies and bills to strengthen obamacare. now how far they get, sara is probably right, not very far but prescription drugs, as you suggested, is something trump has always really unde

this weekend, been of nebraska, argues the country offers -- lacks unity. he offers points on that. >> i think potentially the more important variable or depression, is the intensification of political addiction. so you have your political identity crowding out all your other identities in the sense you should treat your neighbor as a whole person not to somebody you agree with our politics. we the consumers, are not usually aware enough of the way the algorithm what we read yesterday is going to reshape what we read. so we start to end up with a world and do not this is true if you look at the videos you might wash on politics on youtube, is arts recommending more video steer. the person next year to you my have a completely different perception of america because of the self-selection of the feedback confirmation in the silos of what they're consuming from what you're consuming. >> 10:00 p.m. and sundays at 9:00 p.m. eastern and pacific tv on c-span2. all previous afterwards programs are available to watch online at booktv.org. >> ready to go? and from na

now, in the coming weeks on after words, republican senator of nebraska will argue that the country lacks unity and will offer his thoughts on how to repair it. pulitzer prize winning reporter will discuss his life as an undocumented immigrant. and this weekend vice president mike pence's daughter charlotte pence shares important lessons she's learned from her father. >> one of the things i talk about in the book about my dad encouraging me is that he tells a lot of people this, and has told me, this phrase speak your dreams, and he always tells people that especially when kids come to him and on the campaign trail, this happened a couple times, where they would come to him and say i kind of want to go into politics one day maybe. you can tell they are always a little bit anxious about saying that. and he always says say that. you know, speak your dreams. that's the first step to tell people that you want to do something. and so i think that, you know, over the years, and growing up, my parents saw me as a storyteller, from a very young age. and so they always -- they always encouraged me

sees the dip in the jet stream from bismarck to grand island nebraska?you can see this system developed. it comes out of the planes and picks up some energy out of the gulf and it gets the warm air and cold air producing rain. there will be some rain into the middle of the country as well. for us, nothing. patchy coast font. 60s and 70s to soft 80s. this pattern looks quiet for us. things can change on a dime but right now everything looks quiet. there are some projections into next week and even to the 21st. we will see if that continues. right now i would not make on anything changing. a little bit of a northerly breeze for some. also to the northwest but things are not that strong. 30sand 40s and 50s. kelsey bill 42 grade nevada 50 and 45 at one observation. there is the rain -- a little bit of snow. >> high and dry with temperatures on the warm side with 60s and 70s. a few near 80 but this pattern is not changing much at all. cell, 6:31. you have something at walnut creek? >> it's getting better. i want to let you know -- time will be needed -- there

nebraska -- nancy from nebraska.bout: i am worried health care service workers in terms of our national economy. host: go ahead. caller: it's clear that government is business. ethical work is only possible with ethical employers. i think a lot of service work in the health care industry is shrouded by romanticism and caring for people. what happening isn't very romantic. host: what do you see in nebraska? thatr: i see a population is decimated from sourcing energy. we have a gentleman talking resources, but these companies source energy, they leave countries decimated in rural areas. trying to revitalize the with the is impossible capitalist system. host: what can we do? caller: we need to reestablish the ethical business owner and stop romanticizing the entrepreneurship. they need to be that is by communities. community members need to participate in local government. we have families who are telling children that government is bad, that they hate government. this is the message the children have. host: david is in

i was at the york state prison in nebraska yesterday. phenomenal staff working hard. partnering to try to make people better. that is what we want. in the first act, there will be de-escalation training for staff in the bureau of prisons. the first reaction is throwing solitary --hole in ways to avoid that. at the end of the day, people who work in prisons are doing god's work as well. it is a tough job. i'm not saying they are perfect. most people who get into these jobs want to do the right thing. transition from the tough on crime era to what we call the smart on crime, soft on taxpayer era. this will lead to a better place for all of us. we're doing our part. one group, we started this past year is called take second chances. we hope it will be the game changer in reentry. we are a pilot states. pennsylvania, texas, kentucky and florida. we have half the groups coming out, people coming out of prison, half are getting what the prisons offer for people getting reentry into society and the other half, in an innovative approach working with local providers to help th

states, nebraska, iowa, minnesota, missouri, every voter i talked to with the exception of two or threevan or immigration as the top issue concerning them. it's really quite striking. you have a president like trump that loves to whip up fears over immigration and cater to his white base. these people really go for it. i think you see that in way that's not really been present in previous elections even in the presidential when 2016 you had trump talking about building the wall. this is a different level of anxiety than i can recall. it's a lot fresher. it feels a lot closer for whatever reason even though this caravan is not close at all. >> i want to ask you why. i imagine that's a question you ask a lot of the voters. i don't mean to be glib there. it's so remove fouved from the u.s.-mexico voters. why is it so animating for the voters in southern minnesota in. >> it's not just in southern minnesota. like i said everywhere i go i heard this. a few examples of things people say. they talk about the threat oto the country and what that means to them is they feel like the country is cha
