Episode 492 – Governor Pete Ricketts The Ax Files with David Axelrod Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts tried to get away with applying to the University of Chicago, as his father wanted, by pretending to forget about applying. His ruse didn’t work, and he ended up attending the school and spent more than a decade in Chicago before moving back to Omaha. Governor Ricketts joined David to talk about what he learned from his father, the things he believes cannot change the Second Amendment, his firm convictions of abortion and the death penalty, his views on the role of government, the benefits and challenges of working with Nebraska’s Unicameral Legislature, and why he thinks these are the good old days.
