After years of sticker shock at the grocery store, could beef prices finally be headed down?
Nebraska cattleman Jim Jenkins talks about what’s changing, and what it could mean for consumers and Nebraska cattle producers.
#BeefPrices #NebraskaBeef #Cattle #Agriculture #Nebraska #Shorts #JimJenkins #TheDanParsonsShow
Nebraska rancher, businessman and former U.S. Senate candidate Jim Jenkins joins The Dan Parsons Show for a wide-ranging conversation about tariffs, agriculture and political leadership, and he doesn’t hold back.
Jenkins argues that President Trump’s tariff policies are driving up costs for Nebraska farmers, ranchers and small businesses while members of Congress stand on the sidelines.
“We need to find people that are willing to step up and get beyond the party and actually govern on behalf of all Nebraskans.”
We also discuss:
• Why Jenkins calls tariffs a tax on American consumers and businesses
• The impact on Nebraska farmers, ranchers and his own family businesses
• Trump’s attempt to lower beef prices through increased imports
• Why Jenkins believes Congress has surrendered too much authority to the president
• The Pete Ricketts–Dan Osborn debate and Nebraska’s changing political landscape
• Why independent candidates may be having a moment
• Jenkins’ own 2014 independent campaign for U.S. Senate
• His criticism of Nebraska’s current political leadership, and what he believes needs to change
Jenkins has spent decades in Nebraska agriculture and business. His message to Nebraska’s political leaders is straightforward: “You are not doing the job right now, my friends.”

Bob Krist is running for Nebraska Secretary of State under the newly qualified America First Party.
Krist explains why he believes a new political party can give Nebraska voters more choices, and challenge a system dominated by Republicans and Democrats.
Is Nebraska ready for a viable third party?

Long before today’s fights over mail-in voting, Nebraska Republicans were helping expand it.
In my interview with Nebraska Secretary of State candidate Bob Krist, we revisit a fascinating piece of Nebraska election history: legislation introduced by then-State Sen. Deb Fischer in 2005 that helped pave the way for all-mail elections in some Nebraska counties.
The politics of voting by mail looked very different 20 years ago.
🎙️ Watch the full Bob Krist interview now on The Dan Parsons Show.

Dan also challenges Krist on what “America First” means to him, and asks whether Joe Biden was legitimately elected president in 2020.
It’s an in-depth conversation about one of the most unexpected candidacies of Nebraska’s 2026 election.

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly says governing across party lines starts with relationships, trust and a willingness to find common ground — even when you disagree.
A lesson from Kansas with real implications for Nebraska.
Watch the full conversation with Gov. Kelly and Nebraska gubernatorial candidate Lynne Walz on The Dan Parsons Show.
#NebraskaPolitics #KansasPolitics #Bipartisanship #LauraKelly #LynneWalz #TheDanParsonsShow
Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly inherited a state facing serious fiscal challenges. Eight years later, she says Kansas has a $2 billion rainy-day fund, has paid down debt, fully funded schools and transportation — and cut taxes.
In this exclusive conversation on The Dan Parsons Show, Kelly joins Nebraska gubernatorial candidate and former state Sen. Lynne Walz to discuss what Kansas learned — and what those lessons could mean for Nebraska.
We talk about:
• Winning Republican and independent voters in traditionally Republican states
• Governing with a Republican-controlled legislature
• Nebraska’s budget challenges and Walz’s criticism of across-the-board cuts
• Economic development and rebuilding rural communities
• Why Kelly says divided government can force compromise
• The changing tone of American politics
• Whether the political middle is making a comeback
• Why Kelly believes Walz is prepared to be governor
Walz argues Nebraska is “bleeding” financially. Kelly responds with the story of Kansas’ fiscal turnaround, including rebuilding reserves, investing in schools and infrastructure, attracting major economic development and cutting taxes.
It’s a conversation about two neighboring states, two political paths, and whether Kansas offers lessons for Nebraska’s future.
