travis johnson is a high school teacher in omaha, nebraska. thank you so much for being with us. we really appreciate it. you're not only a teacher, you're a single father with three children of your own. the president says children are almost immune while experts are saying the opposite. what is your reaction to that? >> my reaction is anxiety and i don't appreciate statements being made by leadership where there's not scientific data backing it up. i think it encourages plans like the one we're implementing right now. we're about to open up, not on an entire basis, but a limited basis. and i think it gives, when the president says those kind of things, i think it gives people a false sense of security about schools opening and that's not the case. >> so, you're back at school ahead of kids running. is that right? >> yeah. our staff were required to show up at the school and tuesday we're going to start getting students back. >> and do you feel safe? >> no. i don't feel safe. the general climate at our school is one of anxiety. because our building is doing the best that they ca

warren buffett, who is also from omaha, nebraska, like you.e's class warfare, all right. it's my class, the rich class, that's making a war, and we're winning, and we shouldn't be. are they winning kind of beyond their wildest dreams? weren't they just going for kind of lower taxes and less regulation, and now they've gotten more than they could have hoped for? >> well, and they were going, as i tell this story in "evil geniuses" starting really in the early 70s, until i really did the research, i was aware that they were doing this, that they were starting this long class war. yeah, at first they just thought, oh, my gosh, the late '60s, early '70s talk of revolution is real. we're going to be -- we have to protect ourselves. then very quickly during the 1970s, there was some shift in sentiment, and they took full advantage. by 1980, by the '80s, they were certainly successful beyond their wildest dreams and never, i think, would have imagined, after that first generation of the '70s and '80s, that 40 years later this paradigm shift that they

she's specifically warning baltimore, atlanta, kansas city, portland, omaha, nebraska, chicago, boston, detroit, and washington, d.c., as well as the whole central valley of california. those are the warnings currently from dr. deborah birx. now, the white house made no public announcement that these cities and these areas are in trouble right now, but we have a free press, and someone leaked the audio of dr. birx delivering those warnings in a private call, and apparently that's now how we find out what the federal government can tell us about where the emergencies are right now in this epidemic. somebody on the call leaks it to the press. they publish it. that's how we find out what the white house is worried about in terms of who has it bad right now that needs to make changes because their numbers look terrible. i mean, this is the system? so there's a lot going on tonight. there's some fascinating news tonight that has just come out of kansas. we're going to be talking about that this hour as we're having these ongoing national fights about going back to school and mask rules and

it really starts with his father his father in omaha nebraska and lansing, michigan earlier. his mother louise gives him a worldview of sort of pan out that seven, but in prison he reads and study intently really the whole time he's in prison till the end of his life so he finds out about the 1955 afro asian conference in van doon, indonesia and he's really on fire for this idea of radical self-determination. he goes to the middle east for the first time in 8059 and spend several weeks there. doesn't take the hodge and then but he meets with the diplomats including the vice president of egypt, universally officials, islamic officials and he makes connection with them to the point where malcolm even before he goes overseas again in the 64 is a well-known figure of the united nations which surprises people. he had access to offices, so when i write that malcolm x really meets up with king at the u.s. senate as a statesman, it's factually true, i mean, he's someone who had met with fidel castro september, 1960. he had met in harlem. malcolm had met these different african leader

omaha, nebraska. missy nelson's morning ritual was interrupted by a phone calln it was the bank where her daughter jessica worked. she was an hour late. >> i was like, "what? what do you mean she's not there?" they're like, "she's not here and we've been calling her and she's not answering." >> reporter: thing was, jessica was never late. missy tried calling her. no answer. panicked now, she ran to her car. was jessica at home sick?je >> so i was calling her all the way over there. and i was thinking, "i don't know where she's at." and then i started to think really bad things.ta maybe she was in a ditch somewhere passed out. maybe she was -- a really bad car accident. >> reporter: but you knew it wat something bad? >> i felt something was wrong. so i get over there and her car's in the driveway, so i'm relieved. and i'm like, okay, she's here. she's not in an accident. but why isn't she answering the phone? >> reporter: the door was locked, so missy used her key to let herself in. >> i walk in and he

in my hometown of omaha, nebraska you have a lot of protests and the mayor has to allow the protestsrn violent then you have to shut them down and -- and you watch even democratic and republican mayors have been dealing with this relatively well. you saw the mayor of seattle -- maria: how can you say that? look at portland, 90 days of straight violence and vandalism. you say when it gets violent, you have to shut it down. they didn't shut it down in portland. it's till going on. they are walking away from the police. >> the keyword to my declaratory sentence is relatively well. they haven't all been well. i think the portland situation got way out of hand. it didn't get out of hand in omaha, they shut it down in seattle. they finally shut it down in minneapolis as well. it is not easy to allow protestors to protest without these things turning violent, so it's a balance that these mayors are -- are having to deal with and you're quite right. i think portland is way too slow. it's not a -- it's not an easy thing to do at the local level. maria: look at cities that don't have the issue

host: that is randy and omaha, nebraska. harbor, florida, independent line, you are on, chris.hey, boy, interesting. i am kind of surprised at the question that is asked is not, what did you think about the convention, but what you thing about john kasich? i will address that. the first thing is, i think tyrone, he definitely nailed it and boy, he should be running for office in georgia because he laid everything out and for renÉe in fort myers, she should be thankful she is from ohio, she should be thankful that she is in florida and she is not a new york, where cuomo put people into nursing homes but he came out and said that it was trump that is the disease, that covid is you know, the indication. happenedthe situation ," must said, we do not have enough ventilators, trump sent ventilators. we do not have enough beds, trump built beds. but he comes out and says the coronavirus is somehow trump's fault. this is the issue now that is going on in the country. it is, and in this whole, the telethon, they put on,. host: is that your impression of the first night of the convention

march 13th, 2008 was one of those days of cautious jubilation in omaha, nebraska. 61 degrees, and a light velvety breeze. 11-year-old tom hunter wore shorts and a t-shirt to school that thursday. it was a little after 3:00 when tom, seen here on a security camera, got off the bus in the leafy dundee neighborhood and headed home to play video games, as he did nearly every day. it would be hours before tom's father returned home, but the house was not empty. 57-year-old shirlee sherman, who scrubbed and polished the hunter home on thursdays, was still there. by sunset, both tom hunter and shirlee sherman would be dead, murdered by a killer who was just getting started. who did it and why were questions that would eventually take omaha detectives all over north america and would take more than five years to answer. >> this one stood out, obviously, because of the brutality for one. >> reporter: detective derek mois, was working 3:00 to 11:00 that day. the 911 call came in from tom hunter's dad, dr. william hunter. >> dr. hunter had come home, found shirlee sherman and his son deceased and wo

became easier to swallow when doris met her medication aide bev boro at this center outside of omaha, nebraska >> i just couldn't believe that she was actually here. >> mike, like, i think there is sister. >> reporter: crippen doesn't hear very well, so boro picked up a white board. it says "is your father wendell huffman?" you showed her. doris, what was your reaction when you saw that? >> my mind's racing. i'm thinking, why is she asking me this question for? i don't know her at first -- but did look kind of familiar. >> reporter: familiar it turns out from 53 years ago. >> the last time i seen beverly is when i rocked her in my arms. she's too big today to do that. >> reporter: their father was a trucker. >> he would have my mother go on the road with him and left us with a 10 and 11-year-old to take care of 6 months to 5 years old. so the neighbor called the state. >> reporter: boro, just six months old was sent to foster care. crippen who was 20 and living elsewhere tried to locate her. >> i been searching for my sisters for over 53 years. i knew they were out here. i just never could fin

sarah was from council bluffs, iowa, and as my colleague said, sarah was tragically killed in omaha, nebraska on the very night of her graduation. an illegal alien struck and killed her while driving drunk. he was three times over the legal limit of the amount of alcohol you can have in your blood and to be a safe driver. it's a travesty that the brief administration refused to take sarah's killer into custody because he was not considered a priority. can you imagine that? her killer then disappeared and obviously being a smart person in violation of the law is not going to be seen, so he remains at large. i have said before that sarah's senseless death is a tragic reminder of the serious improvements that we need in border security and interior immigration enforcement in our united states of america. it's outrageous that many innocent americans have been seriously injured and in some cases killed as a result of the actions of criminal illegal aliens. now, it's even more outrageous that the criminal illegal aliens like the one who killed sarah root are not subject to mandatory immigration det

let's talk about nebraska. omaha first.ople know there's that district that sometimes goes for democrats, rarely goes for democrats. is that omaha district, does joe biden have a chance of picking up an electoral vote there? >> on average in the private polls i'm seeing of that congressional race, joe biden is up seven points. >> wow. >> that may be the likelyiest trump territory from 2016 to flip to biden. a lot of those polls aren't made public. but it's an extremely metropolitan piece of real estate. we talk about maine's second district which gives its electoral vote by district in maine. and joe biden is tied there. that's a district that voted for trump by ten points in 2016. so biden is recovering ground across the board. >> let's talk about, i think, one of the most important developments. the we've seen it have a huge impact since 2017, that's the abandonment of the republican party by suburban voters. i think about pete session's district, a guy i came into congress with, i think he may have come in '96. i would n

host: omaha, nebraska. democratic caller. caller: hello. i had two points. is i was wondering how many of the judicial nominees, the ones that have been put on the courts are nonwhite. i am curious about this because i know president trump was called in front of a court that had a judge of a mexican consent. was yousecond point keep bringing up this point about democrats packing the courts. and from everything i can see, that is exactly what the trump administration is doing and bragging about it. how do you reconcile that? iest: to your first point would encourage you to go to article iii project's website which shows the women and minority judiciary appointments for president trump and republican presidents going back to clarence thomas. it shows that democrats claimed that they want more diversity on the bench but they vote in your lockstep against these women and minority judicial nominees for republican presidents. i think democrats need to reconcile that. as to your second point about court packing, there is a difference between filling existing vacanc

nebraska. the northern two thirds of maine and the city of omaha and in its suburbs these are the two states thattheir electoral college vote by congressional districts and trump carried these districts in 2016 and if we get close the election could literally come down to how does northern maine in eastern nebraska votes in the election. bret: there is one scenario that's 269-269 and it comes down to those two places great i played with the map 7 billion times. martha: marie, we've already talked about how this whole mail-in voting issue could mean this is not an election that ends on november 3 and then you look at the possibility of 269-269 and i mean, we will see. right? what you think of when you look at those scenarios bill laid o out? >> first of all, when you hear 269-269 we all have heart palpitations here because that would be so unprecedented, martha. if you look at the battleground states democrats feel pretty good about many of them because in 2018 they picked up a number of house seats in places like michigan and other states, pennsylvania and others. i think democrats feel like the

or biden's column and seeing that gray in the middle of the map, nebraska like maine gives them out by district. there's a district in omahahat's a tossup right now that trump won in 2016 and only movement on this map from 2016, you know, trump campaign has talked about minnesota. clinton state in '16. we're not seeing that movement now. they talked about that in nevada, new mexico, new hampshire. they picked a number of states, not seeing movement from the clinton states in '16 to trump in '20 but seeing a lot of movement on this initial map from the trump states in '16 either to tossup or to biden. and right now, katy, again, that's just basically that's what the polling is showing. we talk about there's a poll in michigan, a poll in texas. putting it all together at this point this is what it looks like. >> steve kornacki, steve, let's try to figure out why this is and turn now to michigan, a state donald trump won four years ago but in jeopardy of losing this year and handling of the pandemic may be one reason. >> what made you go from pretty solidly for trump to backing away from that and now winding up more on the fe

nebraska. it released all its men from its western job sites and brought them into omaha or the lincoln and told them which way to vote, so that kind of activity led politicians to object and to call for the kind of secret ballot that would allow individuals to vote how they wanted without the pressure of corporate interests in the election. >> our next guest comes from reno, nevada. caller: [unintelligible] >> we will try one more time. we are getting some feedback. let's go to nancy next in dayton, tennessee. >> i am nancy, and i am from dayton, tenn., home of the scopes trial. i am not old enough to remember it curio -- to remember it. i know several people who were there, and the drug store was there for many years, and the table where it all started, and i understood it started from let's do something exciting, and that is how it got started, and dayton has grown into a booming town. it has contemplated taking the trial, and it is an interesting trial. were dubbed as say we the monkey town for a while, but now we are dubbed as the home of the scopes trial. but i didneemeet bryan, meet anoth
