A podcast that lifts up, instead of tearing down.

Nebraska State Senator Margo Juarez joins the show to discuss her opposition to the proposed ICE detention facility in McCook—dubbed the “Cornhusker Clink”—calling for “policy, not punishment” in the state’s approach to immigration. She shares concerns about transparency, oversight, and the impact on families and Nebraska’s overcrowded prison system. Senator Juarez also talks about her interim study on expanding passenger rail service across the state, her vision for more transportation options in Nebraska, and why voter participation in 2026 will be critical.

Sen. Juarez is hosting five town halls across the state to gather input about passenger train infrastructure. The town hall schedule follows:

– Columbus Town Hall – Tuesday from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Columbus Library (2500 14th St., Suite 2). This town hall will be facilitated in English with Spanish interpretation.
– Lincoln Town Hall – Sept. 5 from 6-7:30 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church (840 S. 17th St.).
– North Platte Town Hall – Sept 9 from 6-7:30 p.m. at the North Platte Library (120 W. 4th St.).
– Grand Island Town Hall – Sept. 16 from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Grand Island Library (1124 W. 2nd St.).
– Omaha Town Hall – Sept. 22 from 5:30-7 p.m. at the Willa Cather Branch of Omaha Public Library (1905 S. 44th St.).

Nebraska State Sen. Juarez Reacts to ICE’s ‘Cornhusker Clink’

“Who Will Be Placed There?”: Nebraska Lawmaker Questions New ICE Prison

Schuyler Windham, chair of the newly launched Nebraska Liberal Party, joins me to talk about the movement’s vision and why she believes Nebraska needs an alternative to the two-party system. From the roots of classical liberalism to today’s flashpoints—including immigration reform, self-defense rights, and Gov. Jim Pillen’s plan for a federal detention center in McCook—Schuyler explains how the party hopes to reclaim Nebraska’s immigrant heritage, expand personal liberty, and offer a new path forward in state politics.

Former Nebraska State Treasurer and State Senator John Murante joins the show to reflect on his path from family business to public service, his role in stabilizing the state’s retirement system, and his move into the private sector. Dan and John dig into the politics of redistricting in Nebraska and across the country, the risks of mid-decade gerrymandering, and why bipartisanship and integrity are essential for getting things done.
