Dr. Marilyn Moore—longtime educator, retired Lincoln Public Schools associate superintendent, and former president of Bryan College of Health Sciences—joins the show to discuss why she publicly called on Governor Jim Pillen to reconsider his recent rhetoric. After the governor used the derogatory term "libt*rd" during a telephone town hall and later labeled a Lincoln Public Schools position as “woke garbage,” Dr. Moore wrote: “Please, Governor, words matter.” Dr. Moore explains why language from public officials carries responsibility and also touches on the role of faith in public life and civil discourse.

Former Nebraska State Senator John Stinner joins the show to discuss his recent Nebraska Examiner column challenging claims that the state is facing a true budget crisis. A former chair of the Legislature’s Appropriations Committee, Stenner breaks down why the projected $472 million shortfall is not a revenue problem, but the result of policy choices, heavy reliance on one-time money, and the removal of long-standing fiscal guardrails. He also walks through how transfers, tax cuts, shrinking reserves, and agency funding decisions are shaping the current budget debate as lawmakers head into budget hearings.

He also discusses other recent reporting from the Examiner, including the historic resignation of former Sen. Dan McKeon and the shifting political landscape ahead of 2026.
