The Dan Parsons Show

Nebraska State Sen. John Cavanaugh (District 9) returns to the show to break down why he formally challenged the Medical Cannabis Commission’s new rules—arguing they override what voters clearly passed in 2024. We also touch on his 2026 run for Congress, including the current government shutdown, concerns for rural hospitals, tariffs, and more.

From pregnancy panic to vaccine confusion ahead of cold and flu season, Dr. Bob gives us clear, science-based answers, and a warning about what happens when politics hijacks public health.

BREAKING: Governor Jim Pillen signed off Thursday on harsh new medical cannabis restrictions. Fan favorite Crista Eggers—executive director of Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana—returns to The Dan Parsons Show to rip into the governor’s plant caps, limited licenses, and what she calls a deliberate attempt to “suffocate the program on purpose.” We dig into what this means for patients, how the state keeps ignoring 70% of voters, and why the Omaha Tribe’s legalization effort might be Nebraska’s only real path forward.

BREAKING: Nebraska’s Medical Cannabis Program SABOTAGED?

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Omaha Tribe of Nebraska has become the first government in the state to fully legalize and regulate medical cannabis — with plans to create a safe, functioning program by early next year. The Tribe's Attorney General John Cartier returns to the show to explain how the tribe used its sovereignty to bypass state obstruction, why this matters for patients who’ve been waiting years for relief, and how the new industry could bring jobs and economic growth to the reservation.

Congressman Don Bacon says he supports releasing the Epstein files... but his vote for a non-binding resolution has left critics questioning whether Congress is protecting the powerful instead of delivering justice. In this GO FACT YOURSELF - Fact of the Week, we break down the difference between Bacon’s resolution and a discharge petition, the oversight committee’s subpoena power, and what’s really at stake for the hundreds of victims still waiting for accountability.

Nebraska’s Rep. Don Bacon returns to react to President Trump's trade war hitting home in Nebraska, recent developments in Russia's assault on Ukraine, and how the White House is falling short.

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.

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.
