In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen at the Big Sky Bright Future Economic Summit to talk about how the Cornhusker State is powering its economy through energy, innovation, and old-fashioned Nebraska work ethic. Governor Pillen outlines his vision for a leaner, more competitive state government—cutting bureaucracy, reducing spending by 10%, and running government like a business to give taxpayers more value for their money. He also shares how Nebraska's economy is thriving across multiple sectors—from agriculture and ethanol to insurance, banking, and renewable energy. With bold carbon-sequestration projects, a growing ethanol industry, and a strong commitment to entrepreneurship, Governor Pillen explains how Nebraska is positioning itself for long-term growth while staying true to its roots: faith, family, and freedom. It's a conversation about leadership, service, and why Nebraskans continue to do things “the Nebraska way.”

The Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission will not meet its Oct. 1 deadline to begin granting registrations for marijuana cultivators. During its meeting Tuesday, commission chair Dr. Monica Oldenburg said the commission's evaluation team was unable to provide recommendations for licensure after two of its members resigned. Earlier this week, Commissioners Bruce Bailey and Kim Lowe resigned from their positions on the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission at the request of Gov. Jim Pillen. That also meant losing their roles on the Medical Cannabis Commission, which includes the Liquor Control Commission members.

Gov. Jim Pillen declined to sign draft regulations for the medical cannabis industry the commission approved last week. In a letter to the commission sent Thursday, Pillen wrote "Leaving the cultivators without a limit would increase likelihood of an overabundance of cannabis product that creates an unregulated, unintended black-market supply.” The commission responded by placing a limit of 1,250 flowering plants for each cultivator.

Nebraska is the first state to receive a federal waiver to ban the purchase of soda and energy drinks under the benefit program for low-income Americans, long known as food stamps. The move, announced by U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, would affect about 152,000 people in Nebraska enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, which helps families pay for groceries. "There's absolutely zero reason for taxpayers to be subsidizing purchases of soda and energy drinks," Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen said in a statement. "SNAP is about helping families in need get healthy food into their diets, but there's nothing nutritious about the junk we're removing with today's waiver." Six other states—Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Indiana, Iowa and West Virginia—have also submitted requests for waivers banning certain foods and drinks or, in some cases, expanding access to hot foods for participants, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The push to ban sugary drinks, candy and more from the SNAP program has been a key focus of Rollins and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Rollins called the move "a historic step to Make America Healthy again." Details of Nebraska's waiver, which takes effect January 1, weren't immediately available. Anti-hunger advocates criticized it, saying it adds costs, boosts administrative burdens and increases stigma for people already facing food insecurity. The waiver "ignores decades of evidence showing that incentive-based approaches—not punitive restrictions—are the most effective, dignified path to improving nutrition and reducing hunger," said Gina Plata-Nino, a deputy director at the Food Research & Action Center, a nonprofit advocacy group. SNAP is a roughly $100 billion program that serves about 42 million Americans and is run by the USDA and administered through states. The program is authorized by the federal Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, which says SNAP benefits can be used "for any food or food product intended for human consumption," except alcohol, tobacco and hot foods, including those prepared for immediate consumption.

Gov. Jim Pillen celebrated new laws he said would protect children online, and lawmakers approved extending tax deductions for private education to pre-college levels.

The Nebraska Legislature upheld Gov. Jim Pillen's veto of a bill aimed at cracking down on bedbugs in Omaha Housing Authority buildings.

Currently, Nebraska law prohibits anyone with three or more drug-related felony charges or any drug distribution charge from accessing federal SNAP benefits. A bill from Sen. Victor Rountree would have removed those restrictions, as long as the beneficiaries had completed their sentences and participated in a substance abuse treatment program. The bill passed last week, but Gov. Jim Pillen vetoed it, leading to a vote to override Monday.

Gov. Jim Pillen announced Friday he intends to provide administrative support and resources to the Medical Cannabis Commission. “With support from the Policy Research Office, the Department of Administrative Services, and other agencies, as necessary, the Medical Cannabis Commission is fully enabled to meet and carry out its responsibilities under the Patient Protection Act and the Regulation Act to meet its milestone dates of July 1 and October 1,” a press release from the Governor's Office said. The commission was created upon the passage of Initiative 438 by Nebraska voters in November 2024.

More than 500 measles cases and two deaths have been reported in Texas this year, and the outbreak is spreading to other parts of the country. As of Friday, Nebraska does not have any reported cases, but neighboring states Kansas and Colorado do. At a press conference Friday afternoon, Gov. Jim Pillen said the virus' arrival in Nebraska is not a matter of if, but when.

EPISODE 69 DETAILS Line 1 Hereford Cattle & Nebraska Cultivated Meat Update Line 1 Hereford Cattle For Sale, Division about Nebraska Cultivated Meat Ban EF1 Cattle Company:  Why Line 1 Hereford Cattle Welcome to EF1 Cattle Company where our Line 1 Herefords are meticulously linebred to ensure consistent, high-performing genetics, making them a top choice for commercial beef production. Their proven predictability enhances herd uniformity, fertility, and feed efficiency, adding long-term value for ranchers focused on genetic improvement. EF1 Cattle Company Line 1 Hereford Cattle:  Built For Longevity, Soundness, & Exceptional Performance At EF1 Cattle Company, our Line 1 Hereford two-year-old bulls are carefully raised using a “low and slow” approach to ensure optimal longevity, soundness, and performance in real-world conditions. These bulls are raised entirely on their mothers' milk, with no creep feed, to develop naturally. We wean in early winter and transition to a developing ration, preparing bulls for spring turnout on lush grass where their superior genetics truly shine. During their second year, our Line 1 Hereford bulls spend summer and fall grazing native grass, with access to free-choice minerals and salt. As sale time nears, bulls are moved to a 40-acre paddock near headquarters, where they receive a precisely balanced, low mega-calorie ration. Unlike other bulls pushed too hard for fast growth, our bulls develop muscle shape and thickness gradually—just like an athlete training steadily for peak performance. This method ensures the bulls have the endurance to cover more cows while maintaining their condition, making them an ideal choice for ranchers seeking long-lasting, high-performance genetics. Nebraska Ag Interests Push Back On Proposed Cultivated Meat Ban At least two major ag groups are not supporting a proposal to ban cultivated proteins as proposed last month by Neb. Gov. Jim Pillen and State Sen. Barry DeKay. The Nebraska Farm Bureau and Nebraska Cattlemen separately announced support for specific provisions in the proposal that requires special labeling and standards for protein derived from the cells of food animals, but the entities do not support a total ban of the lab-produced products. The Farm Bureau supports the restriction of plant-based and cultivated proteins being labeled “meat” and favors establishment of state-level laws covering potential mislabeling of such proteins. Similarly, the Cattlemen support clear labeling requirements for alt-proteins but not a complete ban as product developers should be able to compete in the marketplace SPONSORS Trans Ova Genetics https://transova.com/ @TransOvaGenetics American Gelbvieh Association https://gelbvieh.org/ @AmericanGelbvieh Allied Genetic Resources https://alliedgeneticresources.com/ @AlliedGeneticResources Clear Springs Cattle Company https://www.bredforbalance.com/female-sale Axiota Animal Health https://axiota.com/ @MultiminUSA Jorgensen Land & Cattle https://jorgensenfarms.com/ @JorLandCat Ranch Channel https://ranchchannel.com/ @RanchChannel Questions & Concerns From The Field?

A proposed state budget from Gov. Jim Pillen includes cuts to several water recreation projects in Nebraska. But a bill from Sen. Barry DeKay would give authority to the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission to carry out other, cheaper park enhancements. DeKay, who represents a northeast Nebraska district that includes Lewis and Clark Lake and Niobrara State Park, said in a hearing Wednesday his legislation will help get projects across the finish line despite potential budget cuts.

Sen. Barry DeKay, a rancher from Niobrara, introduced a bill at the request of Gov. Jim Pillen that would ban the manufacturing, sale and distribution of cultured protein products. These products are made by cultivating animal stem cells for several weeks and combining them with other ingredients. They are not yet for sale in Nebraska. DeKay said he wants the product banned until there is more information about its health ramifications.

The Nebraska Legislature's Natural Resources Committee heard a proposal to merge two state agencies Thursday. Sen.

Jim Pillen testified in favor of the bill, citing it as an important step to protect Nebraska's water.

The Nebraska Legislature's Revenue Committee considered a bill Wednesday to tax the cryptocurrency industry. Sen. Mike Jacobson introduced the legislation at the request of Gov. Jim Pillen.

Gov. Jim Pillen's appointee to head the Department of Administrative Services was challenged, and a proposal to combat antisemitism was aired in the Nebraska Legislature Monday.

A bill to limit the addictive design elements of social media apps was discussed at the Nebraska Legislature Monday afternoon. Sen. Carolyn Bosn introduced the bill at the request of Gov. Jim Pillen. The legislation prevents minors from having their private information shared and requires companies to curb features like infinite scroll and frequent push alerts. Opponents of the bill say it is likely unconstitutional, citing a similar California law that the courts struck down. Bosn said the Nebraska proposal has addressed the legal concerns.

Sen. Merv Riepe recently introduced a bill at the request of Gov. Jim Pillen that would lower the age at which juveniles can be detained and charged as adults in felony cases. Douglas County Sheriff Aaron Hanson said the bill is well timed, as the county has seen a recent increase in the number of juveniles committing repeat felonies. North Omaha Senators Ashlei Spivey and Terrell McKinney are against the bill because they said it would disproportionately impact minority youth.

Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen proposed tightening the state's budget in his State of the State speech.

A bill to change Nebraska's electoral vote allocation to winner-take-all was introduced in the state legislature Thursday morning. Sen. Loren Lippincott introduced it on behalf of Gov. Jim Pillen, who listed it as one of his four legislative priorities for 2025. Lippincott said winner-take-all spreads out representation to Americans in all states, not just a select few.

Gov. Jim Pillen discussed his proposal to ban the sale of lab-produced meat in Nebraska grocery stores.

The trade mission began in the Czech Republic on November 7th and concludes in Germany on Thursday/today.

EPISODE 45 DETAILS Nebraska Launches Battle Against Cultivated Meat Nebraska Poised to Fight Cultivated Meat Nebraska Executive Order Enacted By Governor Nebraska is poised to become the fourth U.S. state to formally institute laws that restrict the sale of cultivated meat, now that Gov. Jim Pillen has signed an executive order prohibiting state agencies and contractors from buying cultivated meat products starting in 2025. Pillen is working with the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) to develop new guidelines to “protect the state's agriculture industry as well as consumers, from lab-grown meat.   Pillen also is calling on the NDA to begin developing a rulemaking process to ensure that any cultivated meat products sold in stores in Nebraska are “properly labeled and are not marketed next to natural meat on the same shelves.” Plans also call for the Nebraska state legislature to begin drafting a law to ban lab-grown meat in the Cornhusker State that could go into effect next year, the announcement said. Florida became the first state to enact a cultivated meat ban criminalizing the manufacture and sale of cell-cultured meat that went into effect July 1 and prompted an outcry from investors in biotech and food companies, in addition to sparking a lawsuit by alternative protein company Upside Foods. Similar legislation was introduced In Alabama and Ohio soon after the initial move on cultivated meat by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in May.   SPONSORS Trans Ova Genetics https://transova.com/ @TransOvaGenetics American Gelbvieh Association https://gelbvieh.org/ @AmericanGelbvieh Allied Genetic Resources https://alliedgeneticresources.com/ @AlliedGeneticResources Axiota Animal Health https://axiota.com/ @MultiminUSA Jorgensen Land & Cattle https://jorgensenfarms.com/ @JorLandCat Ranch Channel https://ranchchannel.com/ @RanchChannel   Questions & Concerns From The Field?

It's Monday, July 29th, A.D. 2024. This is The World View in 5 Minutes written by Jonathan Clark and  heard at www.TheWorldView.com.  Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin Hindu Extremists Attack House Church in India A mob of 150 Hindu extremists attacked a house church in northern India earlier this month. The mob broke into the house, vandalizing the property and beating the 15 Christians inside. The violence continued until police arrived who proceeded to delay filing a case. Pastor Rajesh Bhomi told Morning Star News, “We are enduring immense hatred from all corners . . . Yet I believe God chooses only a few for this great mission of facing persecution. I am thankful to the Lord that he has chosen me. Through this pain and trials too, I want to serve the Lord. I want to serve the Lord until my last breath.”  India is ranked 11th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian.  Blasphemous Parody at the Olympics  Paris held the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics last Friday. The event included drag queens doing a parody of Leonardo da Vinci's painting of the Last Supper.  Gavin Calver with the UK Evangelical  Alliance posted on X, “It really was appalling to see Christianity so openly mocked in the opening ceremony with the unbelievably crass portrayal of the Last Supper. Utterly insensitive, unnecessary & offensive.”  Galatians 6:7 says, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”  Biden Admin Sentences Pro-life Mother In the U.S., the Biden administration continues to put pro-lifers in prison. A court sentenced Bevelyn Beatty Williams to over three years in prison last week. This came after the 33-year-old mother was sharing the Gospel outside an abortion mill. She wrote on her fundraising page, “I was persecuted as a Christian standing for my beliefs when it comes to life. This is devastating news. Not only is this bond extensive for the accused crime, but [the judge] made it very clear in the courtroom that she was going to an make example out of me.”  Nebraska Supreme Court Upholds Pro-family Act Last Friday, the Supreme Court of Nebraska upheld a piece of legislation known as the “Let Them Grow Act.” The bill limits abortion to 12 weeks of pregnancy and bans sex-change procedures on children.  Nebraska's Republican Gov. Jim Pillen said he was “grateful for the court's thorough and well-reasoned opinion upholding these important protections for life and children in Nebraska.”  Americans Less Confident in the Church A recent Gallup survey found 32% of U.S. adults have confidence in the church or organized religion. Confidence in organized religion was over 60% through much of the 1970s and 80s. Confidence remained over 50% in the 90s. However, it has fallen drastically since 2000.  Americans have low confidence in many other institutions including higher education, the medical system, the U.S. Supreme Court, and banks. Americans have the most confidence in small business, the military, and the police.  U.S. Economic Growth Beat Expectations  The U.S. economy beat expectations during the second quarter of this year. Real gross domestic product grew 2.8% at an annual rate according to the Commerce Department. That's up from 1.4% during the first quarter and 2.5% during 2023. Business and consumer spending drove the growth.  Scientists Discover Red Dye Mentioned in the Bible And finally, researchers with the Israel Antiquities Authorities discovered an ancient textile fragment in a Judean desert cave back in 2016.  Researchers believe the fabric is 3,800 years old, and they recently published their findings on how it was produced. The study found the textile was dyed red using tiny insects known as kermes from oak trees. The scarlet-red color was rare and expensive in the ancient world.  Professor Zohar Amar of Bar-Ilan University tied the findings to the Bible, “In the Bible, the dye extracted from oak scale insects is referred to as 'scarlet worm'. 'Worm' was used as a general term for various insects and their developmental stages in ancient times, and a reference to the colour 'scarlet worm' appears twenty-five times in the Bible.”  Referencing the scarlet worm, God said in Isaiah 1:18, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” And that's The World View in 5 Minutes on this Monday, July 29th, in the year of our Lord 2024.
