nebraska.a weekly interview program with guest host interbank top authors about their latest work. >> hello and welcome to book tv. it is my pleasure today to interview ben nelson from the great state of nebraska. ben was born emma cook he is the husband to diana, the father of four, served 12 years in the u.s. senate from 2001 through 2134 of us are going to center our discussion on that today. ben was also governor of nebraska for eight years in the 1990s, a period during which nebraska won the national championship in football. 38% of all the years he was governor. so ben, given our partisan differences i do not know if i am supposed to campaign for you to come back and governor but if you can win national championships for football team three eighths of allll years it would unite our state again, welcome. >> thank you i cannot take full credit. i just want people to remember it happened during my watch. >> very nice. it is good to get to talk with you today about your new book the death of

i looked at her and is it i can't, it's not good for nebraska.i'm not sure it's good for the country but i don't mean to be snippy about this but i just don't think i can. you're asked me to do something i just don't think i'm comfortable doing. well then she said okay let me look at this again. she came up there and once again try to persuade me to support the bill as opposed to looking for a commonality, was it something i i could suggest to make it different? finally that didn't get anywhere and i said look i think i finally understood, understand why you came appear to compromise. it's your definition of a compromise is different than mine. we were looking for solution to bring the onboard. you were just trying to persuade me here you are right. i already told you you may be right but you are not right for what i'm thinking about, about nebraska in the country. she looked at me and she started grinning and said yeah, i guess maybe you're right. we still couldn't get together on it that compromises we try to find something, if you can't go 80%

ben was governor of nebraska for eight years inea the 1990s. during which nebraska won the national championship in football, 38% of all years he was governor so our present differences, i don't know if i'm supposed to campaign for you to come back governor but if you can win national championship's for our football team, i think it would unite our state again. >> i can't take full credit i just want people to remember it happened during my watch. >> very nice. it's good to talk with you today about your book, congratulations on the publication. let's begin with two moments when the senate has been divided 50/50. we currently have a 5050a 0 se, the type working vote is cast by vice president kamala harris and when you arrived inwh the senate 20 years ago, it was a 50/50 senate as well. set the stage for us by contrasting those two moments, what's about the senate today versus 20 years ago. >> i'm not sure there's a real difference in terms of how it would work. having 50/50 means at least in terms of the numbers you have to get somebody to swit

former slaves that came to nebraska to claim a homestead.ican-americans could claim homesteads just like traditional settlers. there was no one who could stop them. they worked hard and they gained respect from the community around them. the brothers jerry, moses and henry all came to nebraska and settled in custer county and took individual homesteads. i think that is important that they worked hard right alongside other emigrants, swedish or german and you were respected for the hard work you put into the land. it is one thing to write about it and have those interpretations. it is like stepping back in time. you get to see people interacting with their environment. you get to see people as they lived. i think it is really important for historians and students and scholars to look into the eyes of these pioneers and just try to experience what they experienced. >> documenter photographer dorothy laing is known for her depression era images. with the security administration, her photos in the late 1920's and 1930's captured the plight of ma

urban indian health coalition, a private nonprofit organization in nebraska. the nebraska urban indian health coalition provides community health care and services targeting the urban american indian and alaskan native population in the greater omaha area and lincoln and sioux city, iowa, since 1986. the diabetes self-management program is nationally recognized. currently, they're led by their c.e.o., dr. donna poke. donna was raised by her father after her mother was killed by a drunk driver. the doctor was only 7 years old. she credits her grandmother, anna lee mays, for her inspiration. dr. polk firmly believes having a vision and you have to see how things can be. if you don't you don't work to effect change. between 1972 and 1985, dr. polk served as the affirmative action and equal opportunity officer at the state of nebraska. she volunteered at the nebraska corrections system for 26 years and started her own tv showed called "frankly female" a show for and about women. dr. polk earned her bachelor's degree in university studies, masters in counselor psyc

i was proud to support nebraska's bill. i was proud that pro-life democrats, pro-choice republicans put their differences aside to vote for it. and i'm proud today to stand with mississippi as their law comes before the united states supreme court. back in july i joined more than 200 of my colleagues in the senate and the house of representatives in filing an amicus brief supporting mississippi's bill. in our brief we argued that the precedence the supreme court set in roe v. wade and a later case, planned parenthood v casey -- v. casey are outdated. when roe was decided nearly 50 years ago, babies born before 28 weeks, they were not expected to survive. today the miracles of modern medicine have allowed babies born much earlier to not only survive but to go on to live full and happy lives. just last year a little boy was born right next door to mississippi in alabama at 21 weeks. he was 132 days premature and he weighed just 14.8 ounces. 50 years ago it would have been unthinkable for him to live beyond a few days. but thi

governors like kim reynolds in iowa, greg abbott in texas, bill lee in tennessee, pete ricketts nebraska, tate reeves mississippi, and of course ron desantis in florida. by the way, florida has the lowest infection rate in the united states. and then with virginia freeing itself by electing glenn youngkin, democrats, i think they frankly just don't know what to do. spending money, that's not helping biden's numbers. trillions more that will be spent perhaps is only going to drive the value of the dollar down further. but covid to them is like crystal meth to a drug addict. they know it's not working. they know it's bad to stay on the topic that they keep returning to it. the fact is everything the experts push from lockdowns to school closures to masks have only made matters worse. and now i know that the vaccinated can spread the virus just as easily as the nonvaccinated. oops.

i am joined by don bacon of nebraska. two weeks ago congressman bacon was one of the 13 republicans who voted in favor of passing the bipartisan infrastructure bill sending it to president biden's desk and drawing the ire of a lot of his republican colleagues. congressman bacon good morning to you, good to see you again. >> good morning, ali. always good to be with you. thank you, sir. you were one of the only 13 republican who had voted for the bipartisan infrastructure bill and a greater proportion of the senate colleagues will probably do the same. what was behind the decision and what have you faced since that vote. >> 19 senators did vote for it to include doug grassley and doug fisher of nebraska. i thought it was a good bill for our country and i think it should be the party of infrastructure and abraham lincoln, and eisenhower did the highway system or enter state system. we need a good infrastructure and we want to compete in commerce and our exports and we need it for public safety. in nebraska, we have 1300 bri

a, in terms of national and foreign policy after what happened with afghanistan in the state of nebraska, more than $100.00 children, the berlin jennifer knows, having died of a government run bolding school for simulating native americans, are such as, say, that this happens in the late 19th and early 20th century with such as continuing for remains of the site artistic a house reports from the school. these children were killed in various ways. unfortunately, some of them died from diseases like tuberculosis and pneumonia, but other kids were drowned. some were shot and some were dispose of in other ways which they have yet to determine. because in a lot of these cases, like this us indian school, they actually were never able to find the remains of the body. although the debate of these children actually said to be buried near by now the school in and of itself is extremely problematic. kids were pulled, at least from this particular school. 40 tribes at least, were represented in this. he was indian school, where kids were taken from their homes. their parents are forced to cut their

going out to nebraska to a first-rate program at the university of nebraska medical center.his is really serious adult stuff about special pathogens. you are looking at an unvaccinated population. my working number is 13 times greater. it omicron a special pathogen that will get this nation vaccinated? >> we think about special pathogens we think about the tools in the toolkits that allow us to treat, manage, save lives of patients that get those special pathogens. we are waiting to see what will happen with the vaccines around omicron. we know some of our tools work. our tests work. masks work. a lot of our treatment will still work on omicron. we may need boosters to improve our ability to protect people against this variant. right now we could see getting your vaccine is so critically important. tom: do you with all of your resources including at johns hopkins have a timeline of what we will get these answers? lauren: i would say in the next couple weeks. understanding how the vaccine will affect the -- the variant will affect the vaccine efficacy. i would say we could se

his injury by republican senator ben sasse of nebraska.ekly interview program with guest host interbank top authors about their latest work.

i was out a sneaker house that were such boarding schools and not limited to nebraska and not even to the united states and canada. for example, more than $1200.00 a month graves have been discovered this year at full mouth, forced assimilation institutions, full indigenous children, prime minister just some true day said back in may that he was pulled by the shameful policy that stole indigenous children from that mean to say i, we spoke to a history professor at the university, nebraska. he does say that what's the most appalling thing is that authorities at the time neglected the children's debts. i don't even like to call them schools. they were institutions to which native children were sent if they ran away from the school if they were caught and brought back, they might be put in solitary confinement. there was a lot of physical and sexual abuse. the schools were exploited if of the children's labor, many native people talk about intergenerational trauma from the schools. the number of this of the children that we found so far is not surprising that much. i think what's more su

she was also a folk singer and a poet and she wrote a very rousing ballad called stand up for nebraska that brought everybody to their feet. progress is upheld women's rights and a poorly economic justice for average people, and opposed the corrupt lyrical machines and corporate monopolies of the eras -- political machines up until this time there certainly have been rich people in america but in two oh the gilded age which started after the civil war, there were not these enormous inequities like that separated, like the superrich from everybody else. so this was something that americans were just coming to terms with, and that's how the progressive movement developed. the kansas homesteader turned lawyer mary elizabeth lease, cofounded the new people's party before she could even vote. the electrifying orator help audiences enthralled for hours, warning in her irish voice that the u.s. had become a government of wall street by wall street and for wall street. many progressive women also quietly helped to shape the laws of new western states, right down to the more gender-neutral word

independent adventurous and as good as any man, willa had a dashing figure at the university of nebraska, which was a land grant school founded by the moral act. a journalism major who sometimes styled herself william cather jr., and sometimes favored conventionally male haircuts, clothes, and mannerisms, she was the popular editor of the college newspaper. later as the consummate poet of the western prairie and its women, she based her most beloved characters, earthy, an tonia of my an tonia, ambitious alexandra bergson of "o' pioneers!" the women homesteaders, often immigrants whom she had met as a girl on her grandfather's nebraska homestead claim. the well publicized adventures of the west's women, helped americans come to terms with women's evolving role in a rapidly modernizing society, and now we can go back to the slides because it was a rapidly modernizing society. i think we'll -- there we go. one favorite of the american public was mary hallock foote. she was an eastern debutante who migrated with her miner husband who studied mining at yale and then went west. and she decided

normally when i tell people i'm from nebraska, they're like i think i flew over it one time. >> host: a lot of corn. >> guest: flat. you drive a tractor to school. it's very cool you used to work there treadway i know a little bit about that. a fun little nugget we have along the way. with that and as you talk about your journey coming into the space i really s wanted to give you some kudos around your use of what i saw the use of technical knowledge around forestry and wildlife firefighting into your storytelling. it was really profound for me and one of. those moments wherei was proud especially like this is impressive, like you know some of the terms but you also use them in a way where i pick up on them but the person was not a professional forestry and natural resources person, it made sense to them. moving to a field every second and that's just as all the time is kind of anecdote in firefighting. so i wanted to understand a bit more about how you develop that understanding of technical expertise around how fires work. >> as a journalist i feel so much of my job is transcending

i grew up in nebraska when i first dropped out of college in california.ired to cover local politics and always joked it's its own kind of fire. i realized i was work looking for change, you can really write about anything. around the time the wildfires in california and across the greater west were starting to get really bad. we had buyers in 2017 which shocked the state and the nation and after that, the acceleration continued. every summer it seems like the fires were getting bigger, thousands more homes are burning down than the previous summer so by the time the cap buyer was in 2018, i've been covering fires for a while and spent a lot of time in the town of paradise when the town was burning and "afterwards", even after they had gone out. >> that is quite the journey and i can imagine he was his own type of fire. natural resources, we often talk about how it's a close community and separation especially related fighting wildfires across country so a little-known fun fact, i worked on national forest -- we have a connection we didn't even know about.

i oversaw the man-made forest in central nebraska. located with the nursery as well. i had a lot of fun adventures managing a very interesting small piece of public land in nebraska. >> so wild to hear, i feel when i tell people i'm from nebraska, they say, i think a flew over it one time. or drive to it you drive a tractor it school, cool you used to work there too. >> i know a little bit about dorothy lynch . >> you talk about your journey, i wanted to give you kudos around your use and what i thought was technology knowledge around forestry and wild land firefighting into your story telling, it was profound for me, one of those moments, i was proud, this impressive, you know the terms, but you use them in a way where i pick up on that. the person who is not a professional in natural resources it made sense to them. a great piece for me. moves football field every second. and that is used as that anecdote went firefighting. i wanted to understand a little bit more about howso you developed that technical expertise about how fire management works. >> as a journalist,

host: from lincoln, nebraska with that route 80 east is where you went? guest: it is. last call, kathy in georgia. caller: good morning. this is a very interesting show you have. i would like to hear your guest comment about hardening of our very vulnerable electrical grid. it's been vulnerable for many years, and i would like to see as much energy going into that, so that if we have these ev projects, at least they can be sustainable and drivers don't have to worry about electrical grid problems. i have a honda hybrid. i sold it to my brother because i had two vehicles and didn't use it enough. it is still going strong. i'm pro climate, but i worry a lot about the vulnerabilities in our grid. host: mr. britton, i will give you the final minute or two. guest: it is a great question. southern company, a jealousy that services georgia, georgia is a huge success story. if you look at where the manufacturing is happening in the letter vehicle space, is from ohio kentucky to tennessee, to georgia and the carolinas. we are creating a ton of jobs in georgia and we see a big f

i want to bring in cal perry, who made his way to omaha, nebraska.ht weeks. also with me, dr. hilton is an msnbc medical contributor also a professor at the university of virginia. doctor hilton, let me start with you. this potential approval of the pfizer booster for all adults, how significant will that be as we head into the holidays? >> you know, i think it's incredibly significant. what we know is that if we're looking at november 16th, 2021, we literally yesterday lost 1400 lives. to give you an idea of how we're doing in the progress of this pandemic. a year ago on november 16th, 2020, we lost 1,000 lives. we're losing more people now despite the fact that we have vaccines and other therapeutics in place than a year ago. we have to make progress on this front. >> how can that be? i think people hear that. it's striking that more people are dying every day from covid right now than a year ago. is that simply because there are still so many unvaccinated folks? >> it's a number of things. we language have 59% of americans fully vaccinated. there'

great for america, and nebraska it is 1.9%, the lowest of all 50 states.h is 6.25%. highest of 30 years. here is the other area particularly bad in nebraska. our workforce participation rate is at 61%. that is really low. and should be about 66 or 67% which means about 50% of the companies, small businesses want to hire people, they can't find anyone. we got to get these other people, 10% of the workforce that left during covid, we got to get them back into the workforce so we can grow stronger with our economy. so there is some good news and some problems in our economy as well. >> on the issue of gas prices, a lot of folks will be filling up today, and they're going to see higher gas prices. you called the move to release these barrels from the strategic petroleum reserve a dog chasing tail strategy. i wonder what your strategy would be to lower gas prices, because as you know, oil prices around the world are up. this is a problem across the world. this is largely an international problem. what is the domestic policy solution in your view. >> there are m

he spoke with a republican senator ben zacks of nebraska.ere is a portion of their conversation. >> you have to trust one another you have to trust that they will listen to what you have a and share their thoughts back with you. and that is important. you will have to trust when you get together that they won't leave you high and dry. friendships, partnerships, business as well as well as personal relationships. you have to have more of that. if you don't have that they can be rebuffed, like get out of here. something like that. so if you feel like you can do so, i have never had any question in my mind across the aisle to talk to one of several republicans that were going to listen to what i had to say. they might come along and they might not. john mccain and i were able to do a number of things together and he did not agree with me on everything and i did not agree with him on his positions on everything. but we found common ground so also you have to pick and choose things so that you do not become dry. if you have something, you have to

that stephen douglas the illinois senator had succeeded in passing through the senate they kansas-nebraska act. kansas-nebraska act, we are going to solve the problem, this vexing question of should slavery be extended into the territories? his answer was popular sovereignty vote up or down he said moral indifference whether it's vote up or voted down. important thing is to vote because america's about majority rule. lincoln's assent to greatness begin with this recall against that doctrine. he said no. american is not about a process maturity what that's about the condition liberty. that's forecourts forecourts come in. courts exist to say majority rule is all very well. majority rule should have a broad sweep but not a limitless suite. there are certain things we do not put to a vote. for example, congress shall make no law. congress, even if anyone wants it, can't do it, sorry. some people call this the counter majoritarian dilemma. there was no dilemma. that's why have constitution is to say certain things can't be done. >> host: how much time do you spend reading history? >> guest: a

host: let's talk to ed from grand island, nebraska, on the independent line. good morning. caller: good morning. i guess the old adage of i'm sick and tired of being sick and tired probably applies. i'm sick and tired of being told that we don't have any oil when we have alaskan oil bigger than the saudi arabian oil fields. all we have to do is just put some extra out there. that is baloney. the other thing being we give away so much money that we don't have. we borrow money to give to other countries and other entities. we have to borrow every dime. that does not make sense. host: we would like to thank all of our colleagues who participated in our open forum segment. coming up next, our weekly spotlight on podcast segment features the podcast global dispatch that focuses on hotspots and foreign policy challenges facing the biden administration. we will be joined by the host mark leon goldberg in just a few minutes. we will be right back. ♪ ♪ >> sunday, december 5, on in-depth, historian victor davis hanson joins us live to talk about war, politics and citizenship. his boo

but the nebraska act looks like slavery was breaking out. so john brown was and taking up arms in the struggle against slavery. well, kansas was open to a settlement by and each could bring their property. they bring their horses and their slaves. through this formula, they had enough people to say that the constitution would determine if they're a free state or not. and john brown can confirm it, and when he gets there, he finds this, to put it firmly and it seems to fulfill and they are scratching for awhile. and the military leadership and the para milltear leadership. he has a magnitude, and people will follow him into battle and will follow him to do some of the most heinous things. a free state community of lawrence, in which much of the city was destroyed. john brown decides to send a message to the pro slavery side and he brings a small band of followers and they descend on the small proslavery hamle terms and conditions -- hamlet. and these days we would call it terrorism. it was it is making an important point. this could happen to
