she wrote about nebraska from all those places but did not write about nebraska in nebraska . if she had stayed there on not sure she would have written the fiction she did. >> you mentioned you are from pennsylvania, would you write about insulin you while living in lincoln nebraska? >> i'm not a fiction writer. i have written about lincoln nebraska while living in lincoln nebraska with all the resources available but for cather she needed that distance in order to write about it, not to be immersed in it . even in my antonio the fact that jim burton travels back to thewest , he's on a train talking to the stand in figure for willa cather who is the narrator but then he is a new york railroad lawyer so he in fact likes supposedly his narrative of antonio in his apartment in new york and brings it to willa cather and presents it and says this is what i wrote . you didn't write your thing, this is my thing so i think that distance is really important. >> you have another selection to read for us. >> yes i do. this is from earlier in the novel . i was reading about encounter wit

blackhawk nebraska.hen cather was growing up there that had 2000 residents and now has a thousand residents. it wasn well-connected to culte because the train ran through there so you could get to lincoln and omaha pretty quickly. there were also traveling troupes of artists he came through and they would make their stops in places like denver omaha in chicago so it was a bustling market town for an agricultural area but it was still a small stone -- small-town and it's a small town where everybody knows everybody's business and burton feels bored when he moves in town. >> some of the main characters are based on people that willa cather new and was jim burton someone he knew? said there had been fears about the same and where it may have come from. some were her own experiences and others she didn't directly have. for example the prototype for antony a her father had killed himself before cather and her family came to the area so was the story she heard and not something sheer experience. other people,

she wrote about nebraska from all of those playses but she really did not write about nebraska in nebraskatayed there, i'm not sure she would have written the fiction that she did. host: and professor holmes mentioned she was from nebraska. would you write about nebraska? guest: no, i'm not a fiction writer. for cavitier, i think, really she needed that distance in order to write about it. not to be immersed in it. even in "my antonia," the fact that jim burton, he travels back to the west. in fact, the introduction, he's on a train talking to the stand-in figure for cather, who is the introduction they rater but he was a new york railroad lawyer so he, in fact, supposedly writes his narrative of "my antonia" in his apartment in new york and brings it to willa and presents it and says this is what i wrote. says you didn't write this thing, this is my thing. this is "my antonia." so i think that distance is important. host: you have another selection to read for you. guest: yes, i do. this is from earlier in the novel. earlier i was reading about otto, the cowboy. this is the prairie scene.

this because we are working class nebraska family myself.fe and i try to figure out how to make ends meet repairs work on factory lines a proud union workers pretty but also i think matters that when congressman don bacon shows up, he was to increase taxes on the middle class families and he talked about this trump tax scheme when only did come of this book running the pockets of wealthy billionaires and multimillionaires you. that's a reason why am trying to fight for you, the reason why i voted for the actual tax cuts a bank the middle class grow stronger food congressman don bacon is going to congress the last eight years he's been increasing your cost for healthcare and taking away your health insurance be hard for you to be able to save all because donald trump is focus on getting more to the ultra- wealthy and congressman don bacon is doing what is being told. >> we can talk texas all day but we do need to move on and taking a look at the topic of winner take all the question for cassidy nebraska public media to not both of you have ar

i'm going to support the nebraska law. the nebraska lands restriction on abortion at three months. by the way but i talked to folks i was doing door-to-door a couple times sweet, pro-choice three months is right because there's a science better tony talks up signs. most people see the signs of a heart beat, two u and two legs and at some point they know so right. i'm going to support the nebraska law. three month restriction as of the exceptions for health of the mother so if any health issues pop up, doctors have every right to work with the mother and do whatever is right for that mom. but also for rape and incest as well. i think the unicameral without tony's help i think they came up with a good balance, a consensus for most nebraska and are added. so julie ongoing to supporting this legislation, , going to voe for the and i got to point out, in contrast for my opponent is at, he's been asked dozens and dozens of times what restrictions would he take. is it nine months? eight months? seven months? he is never able to g

argument to voters in nebraska?, i just tell people, look, what you're going to get for me -- people are frustrated with the polarization of politics, both sides catering to their extremes. we see two border bills getting voted down, we are seeing a belt up again, we are on an extension from 2014. our crop insurance prices are out today, our farmers are losing money because of it, because they want to play politics with it. and we are getting left behind bit about what you're going to get from me is you're going to get somebody who approaches policy objectively, based off of compassion and intelligence, and somebody who has lived a life, who understands what it is like to put eight hours work for eight hours pay. look at, people in this country should know that if you work hard, your paycheck should matter, you should get to own a house and some cards, put money aside for college, not have to put christmas on a credit card, that's what the american dream is, and it is dwindling away, and we are playing politics with

what will iu show you, nebraska show to you for the rest of the season? >> nebraska also very good. game boils down to these two quarterbacks. one's very experienced, for indiana. the other, a true freshman, he was one of the highest recruited players in the country. he chooses nebraska to try to bring them back. a legacy player, his dad played at nebraska and then in the nfl for a number of years. and these two players, how they go is how the game is going to go. if somebody turns the ball over, that team will lose. it's about protecting the football and making plays down the field. adam: last question because i know everybody cares about this, right? can indiana go to the college playoff? is that in the game? >> listen to me, america, indiana is 6-0. they're going to be the favored until they play ohio state. that would put them at 10-0. if they get to 10-0, indiana is absolutely in the college playoff conversation which, to be honest, is a wild thought. adam: that was my last question for to you, but i have will back in the studio, he wants to ask you something. will, what's the

we won't bring that kind of solution to nebraska. it matters my record in the legislature. 65 bills passed. balancing budgets and 6 billion of tax relief that passed on behalf of nebraskans. >> next question. this week, omaha's police chief talked about a disturbing trend. officers are recovering guns like never before. it is putting law enforcement in a precarious position understanding that the more guns a cop crosses, the more chances for tragedy. according to research, six of 10 americans favor strict gun laws and it is too easy to get a gun in america. why can't this be fixed? what would you do about the prevalence of guns? >> i'm very proud of our two born and raised nebraska kids. when i think about the state of affairs in our country when it comes to gun safety, it is personal for me and my wife. i want to make sure our communities are safer. it's the reason why i support common sense gun safety legislation. the majority of americans also support common sense legislation. unfortunately, the members of congress that have been

run through one congressional district in nebraska which includes omaha. past, unlike the rest of the republican state. since it's one of two states that don't report electoral votes as winner take all for the state, this single electoral college vote from omaha could either turn donald trump or harris into being the winner, the president, if this year's campaign would result in a 269 to 269 electoral college tie. >> the blue dot marks the spot in the nebraska district that could break a tie this november. now that the threat of changing nebraska to a winner take all state is over, the spray painted blue dot has been surfacing more and more in omaha front yards. >> some people don't know what it is. then they realize if they are aware of politics and electoral college and how things work, i get it. >> it represents democrats' hopes to win congressional district 2, and with it one key electoral vote in an otherwise red state in the middle of the country. that's because while most states have a winner take all system, nebraska, like maine, accounts for wins

blair, nebraska, scribner, nebraska and so forth.er: why did your great great grandfather charles scribner go into publishing in 1846? why did he choose publishing? charles: i think the first answer is poor health. he originally started at new york university and transferred to princeton. they were a developed presbytery and family so i think he felt at home in princeton in those days. he was class of 1840. he originally read and studied the low. he wanted to be a lawyer, but he suffered from some sort of poor health afterwards. went to europe to recuperate and when he came back, he was told the law was to taxing a profession. he should find something a little less demanding on himself . and so he decided to start a publishing company instead. peter: where there enough american authors in 1846 to work with? charles: there were. we can think of nathaniel hawthorne and edgar i. they were not scribner -- i growl and. they were not scribner authors. the main business of american publishers in those days was to publish additions for ameri

nebraska's omaha centered second congressional district is a blue oasis in a sea of red.ace there in the second district is a toss-up with many suburban college educated voters who support don bacon but they prefer vice president harris as the presidential candidate. it is a lean democrat in our presidential power rankings as far as the electoral vote former president trump won the state by 19 points in 2020 but then vice president biden won the second congressional district's single electoral vote. if we go to this douglas county, where omaha is, a big reason is because of that county. the most populated county in the second congressional district and the state. president biden won douglas county by 11 points. so why are these individual electoral votes so crucial in this operation to get to 270? well, that's what we are going to show you. let's say for the sake of our what if scenario, president trump carries his momentum in michigan and it goes forward to election day and he takes michigan and he takes pennsylvania and he takes north carolina, vice president harris doe

she's not at odds with the party, and like you said, nebraska -- i don't think nebraska's voted for a-- since 1964. is there something about deb fisher's record that has made her vulnerable in a way that some of these other republican senators in more competitive states are not? >> well, i think what it really boils down to is the fact that i've done over 140 publicly advertised events throughout the state of nebraska. i've traveled the state three times over. hopefully i'll get around one more time in the next 33 days. senator fischer hasn't had a publicly advertised town hall since 2017. she just really doesn't get out there and talk to people. i think people are seeing that, but again, you know, her record, she went negative right out of the gate. attack ads against me once the first independent poll came out showing us within the margin of error. i had over 12,000 signatures in all 93 counties to get myself on the ballot which was a huge undertaking, and that prompted here to go negative, and so, you know, you would think as the two-term incumbent senator, you would -- you would b

joining us now is republican representative don bacon from nebraska congressman. thank you so much for being with us. i have to start asking you. of course, i have to start asking you about those comments from the former president in part, because to let our viewers know, you are locked in a tough reelection battle in a district in nebraska moscow that centered around omaha. it's a district that president biden won. and so the presidential election in large part will affect turnout for your race. i wonder what you think of former president trump saying that he would protect the women of our country, whether they like it or not. >> i'm not too sure what he means by that. boris off to ask him, i would say abortion in omaha is about the fourth highest issue and priority. the economy is by far the number one issue that its border. that's crime. and i would say also in omaha, we have a very large evangelical like catholic population, snot but totally one sided. it may be leans a little more there, but i just tried to share with people at least when it comes to the fede

the two anomalies are nebraska and maine. they both award their electoral college votes by the winner of the popular vote gets two votes, which is statewide senate seats, but then they also have the remaining electoral college votes decided by who won the congressional district. so in maine, in general there have been three electoral votes for the democrat and one for the republican. in nebraska it was reversed and there was some discussion shot down by the legislature to try to change it in nebraska and change it to winner take all. one of the ways that it changed the dynamic of the electoral college would be for states to adopt nebraska and maine approach uniformly. so we would then be more expected that the electoral college vote and popular vote would a sink. there have been five times in u.s. history where the winner of the popular vote lost the electoral college, but none of those were in the 20th century. they were all previous to the 19th century were two in the 21st century. vice president gore polled more than bush

we are having a blast in bloomington, indiana taking on nebraska, biggest mess indiana has seen thiseople are excited. we did the tease before commercial break. what i loved was when we got off air, people started getting phone calls from their family. shout out to grandpa. and shout out to the parents. >> hang on. >> we love that. it is cold out here. speaking of parents, will your parents be happy when you are out here without a coat on? >> it is for the school spirit. >> reporter: we are heating up. it will be a warm one. i can't help it. who who who? it will be okay. we will be all right. todd: if my daughter isn't wearing a jacket, thanks. too much fun. next year the us is expected to import $42 billion more than it exports and agricultural goods as biden/harris has become dependent on foreign agriculture. on top of increased cost, rampant inflation the future of farming is on the ballot this election season. our next guest says for four years farmers like him have been ignored and would be better off under donald trump. tom joins us now with more. good morning. >> pleasure to b

i'm going to support the nebraska law. the nebraska lands restriction on abortion at three months. by the way but i talked to folks i was doing door-to-door a couple times sweet, pro-choice three months is right because there's a science better tony talks up signs. most people see the signs of a heart beat, two u and two legs and at some point they know so right. i'm going to support the nebraska law. three month restriction as of the exceptions for health of the mother so if any health issues pop up, doctors have every right to work with the mother and do whatever is right for that mom. but also for rape and incest as well. i think the unicameral without tony's help i think they came up with a good balance, a consensus for most nebraska and are added. so julie ongoing to supporting this legislation, , going to voe for the and i got to point out, in contrast for my opponent is at, he's been asked dozens and dozens of times what restrictions would he take. is it nine months? eight months? seven months? he is never able to g
