Text "freedom" to (202) 918-5348  In this episode of American Potential, host David From welcomes back nurse practitioner Amy Siple for an incredible update on her fight against the Kansas Board of Nursing—and the major reforms that followed. After missing a licensing deadline while caring for her husband during his cancer battle, Amy faced disciplinary action that could have damaged a career spanning more than 30 years. Instead of accepting it, she fought back. What began as one nurse challenging the system uncovered similar stories across Kansas, including nurses whose careers and livelihoods were devastated by minor licensing and paperwork mistakes. Now, that fight has produced real results. Kansas lawmakers passed reforms separating licensing mistakes from professional discipline, requiring the removal of qualifying nurses from disciplinary databases, changing how the nursing board operates, and creating a fund for nurses harmed by past actions. Amy also shares how her own case was ultimately vacated and how another major reform gives Kansans a fairer opportunity to challenge government agencies in court. It's a remarkable story of what can happen when one person refuses to back down—and how one fight against government bureaucracy could help thousands of nurses in Kansas and inspire reforms across the country.

In this week's Axis Live Brad Onishi begins by breaking down a video posted by the US Department of State that showcases Marco Rubio's Christian nationalism and Western civilizationalism. Brad digs below the surface to decode the ways Rubio outlines a common good conservatism that seeks to impose order and virtue through family, church, and state. Brad then welcomes Rev. Adam Hamilton to the show. Hamilton is the Democratic nominee for Senate in Kansas who is attempting to end a 90-year drought of Democratic Senators from Kansas. Rev. Hamilton talks about how he will be a public servant for all Kansans not despite his faith, but because the Jesus he serves is a public servant for all people.

According to the National Institutes of Health, even if you feel fine, it's important to see your health provider for regular checkups because annual wellness exams can help you avoid problems in the future.

"The Governor's job is a CEO job." -Philip Sarnecki "Failures, if we appraoch them correctly, are our greatest teachers." -Philip Sarnecki Philip learned his work ethic as a young person. When you don't grow up with a lot, and you do grow up with love, you are taught the valuable lesson of how to work. Phillip Sarnecki has led throughout his life. A resilient work ethic is the strong foundation from which all human beings can launch. He's running for governor as an outsider. What that means is, he hasn't spent his career making promises to other people with money that comes from Kansas taxpayers. An entrepreneur, a CEO is uniquely capable of running a 25+ billion dollar budget because they have become successful through accountability. Those in government do not have accountability because they are spending someone else's money. Philip is running for Governor to give more opportunity to Kansans.
