This conversation explores Marie's transition from business owner to U.S. Congresswoman and highlights her continued advocacy for health equity, small business development, and personal reinvention.From Business to Congress: Marie Newman's Unconventional PathMarie Newman's story is one of resilience, purpose, and public service. She began as an entrepreneur, starting her own business while navigating the challenges of childcare and work-life balance. That hands-on experience—combined with advocacy work in women's rights and gun reform—ultimately led her to run for Congress, where she became the first woman elected to represent Illinois' Third Congressional District.Marie's time in office was marked by a deep focus on health equity and economic justice. Even after her tenure in Congress, her mission continues. She now consults with venture capital and private equity firms, helping healthcare companies grow and better serve underserved populations.

In this compelling episode of American Potential, host David From welcomes Congressman Jeff Hurd, a freshman lawmaker representing Colorado's vast and beautiful Third Congressional District. Congressman Hurd shares his journey from humble beginnings bagging groceries in Grand Junction to earning law degrees, practicing energy law, and now serving in Congress. Drawing on his experience as a small business owner and father of five, Congressman Hurd discusses how bad energy policy acts as a hidden tax on rural Americans—and why reversing those policies is essential to economic opportunity. He outlines his legislative efforts to return the Bureau of Land Management headquarters to Colorado, promote responsible energy development, and fight for rural families who want to stay, work, and raise their children in the communities they love. The conversation also dives into the importance of making the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent. Congressman Hurd explains how those tax cuts have directly impacted working families and small businesses in his district and why allowing them to expire would be a devastating tax hike on the middle class. From energy independence to economic freedom, Congressman Hurd brings a clear-eyed focus and a personal commitment to building a better future for rural America.

Let's go to the PhD weight loss talk line. We'll talk to Scott in Lexington, Georgia. And in case you're wondering, Lexington is just Southeast of Athens. And, Scott, I'm hoping you are a dog fan. Are you? Someday. Someday. I know the feeling. Right? I know the feeling. Yes, sir. What's on your mind? Yeah. I'm just wondering why we have to spend any money to get them out of here when all he has president has to do is just suspend habeas corpus. They just deputize all the law enforcement in every state as I say. Just just remove him here. I don't understand why he doesn't suspend habeas corpus. I I'm waiting for him to do it. He just won't do it. I think that because when you do that, that's kind of the the nuclear option, isn't it? Well, we need the nuclear option. I know. I know. I know. I don't know I don't know what he's waiting on, but hopefully, it will. Yeah. I mean, he's got four years in office, and he's got he needs he needs to bear that. He needs to have a final showdown with these Democrats. He needs to come. Just Yeah. Just dragging it out like the last time. He's gonna have to he's gonna have to it's gonna have to be a showdown here very soon. I think so too. We'll see what happens, Scott. But see what do you see the big problem is? Because, I mean, I I know I love Trump. I know most of you guys love Trump, think the world of him, and you would love for Trump to go over there and just run rough shot over everything. But we've got some midterms coming up. So while president Trump is trying to do the job that he has said he was gonna do, he's also while he's really good at playing offense, he's also gotta play a little bit of defense here as well. If the Democrats get in in the midterms, if they gain in the house, if they gain in the senate or take over one or both of those houses, they're gonna show the Republicans once again just how much power they hold. You see, the problem with the Republicans, and we're talking about nationally, locally, statewide, is they do not use the power that they have. Remember during the the the last term of Obama of, of Biden, where all these congressmen that are out there and you're getting all the mailers in the mail and you were getting all the advertisement on it. We're gonna use the power of the purse. We're gonna use the power of the purse, and we're gonna blah blah blah blah. And they did they never did it. They never did it. In fact, I moderated a debate in Saluda for the Third Congressional District. I think we had five candidates. There were six candidates. One didn't make it. We had five candidates at that debate. Beautiful little town of Florida. One we had a great time. And I asked them. I said, would you be willing to use the power of the purse in order to stop some of Joe Biden's legislation, some of this radical Democrat legislation? Only one Only one. So I I when I said, and would you be willing to use the power of the purse up to and including shutting down the government? Only one person said yes, and that was Mark Burns. I was the only candidate on that stage that said, you know what? Yeah. I would be willing to shut down the government to stop Joe Biden's bad legislation. That was it. That was the only one. You see, Republicans in in mass are terrified of the Democrats. It doesn't matter. I mean, right now, we got the house. We got the senate. We got the White House. Depends on what day it is. We got the Supreme Court, but they're afraid to use the power. They're scared to death, and I don't get it. If these Democrats are allowed to take over during the midterms, how and and, historically, that's what happens. Historically, the party that is in the White House in the midterms loses seats in Congress. We've got to break history. And you know what that means you gotta do? You gotta get out and vote. You gotta find a campaign, and you gotta fall in love with it. And you've gotta make sure that we support these people who are supporting president Tr ...

Parents have a voice in the fight for kids' online safety. In the words of Congresswoman Kat Cammack, "At the end of the day, the Big Tech companies don't vote for me; parents back home vote for me. I want to do everything I possibly can to protect them and their families." In this conversation, we uncover the risks that social media poses to our children and what parents can do about it. Specifically, we get deep into what's happening with TikTok. Representative Cammack explains TikTok's ties to the Chinese Communist Part and emphasizes the need to regain control over our personal data. Parents - Use your voices! Reach out to your Member of Congress: house.gov Reach out to your Senators: senate.gov Meet Representative Cammack: Congresswoman Kat Cammack proudly serves Florida's Third Congressional District, which includes Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Columbia, Dixie, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Lafayette, Levy, Marion, Suwannee, and Union Counties in North Central Florida. During her first term in 2021-2022, she served as the youngest Republican woman in the 117th Congress. Kat is a third-generation commercial sandblaster who grew up on a cattle ranch outside Denver, Colorado, participating in local 4-H programs, the local rodeo, and sports. When she was younger, she had hopes of continuing the family business, but shortly before graduating from college at Metro State University Denver, an Obama-era housing program forced her family to lose their small cattle ranch and home. As a result, Kat was motivated to fight back against the failures of big government and has since dedicated her life's work to fight big government and advance individual freedoms.

Former State Sen. and outspoken conservative Bob Onder (R-Lake St. Louis) has announced that he's seeking the GOP nomination for Missouri's third congressional district seat in August. Incumbent seven-term U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-St. Elizabeth) is not seeking re-election. The sprawling district includes Columbia south of Broadway, Ashland, Jefferson City, Fulton, Holts Summit, Boonville, California, New Florence, Linn, Warrenton and also St. Charles County. Former Senator Onder describes St. Charles County, his home county, as a solid conservative county. Senator Onder joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri", telling listeners that he has 70 percent name ID in St. Charles County and 46 percent name ID districtwide. Former Senator Onder says he's switched from the lieutenant governor's race to the congressional race because the nation is in a crisis of Washington's making. Onder says liberal Democrats and what he calls "weak Republicans" are not listening to voters. He says he can win the race. State Sen. Mary Elizabeth Coleman (R-Arnold) is also seeking the GOP nomination in the race:

Missouri Senate President Pro Tem Caleb Rowden (R-Columbia) tells 939 the Eagle that we could see initiative petition reform and education reform legislation in the Senate in Jefferson City next week. Initiative petition reform has been a priority for Pro Tem Rowden and for the Senate Freedom Caucus. They say a simple majority is too easy for out-of-state groups to change the Missouri Constitution. Democrats oppose the proposed changes involving initiative petitions, saying Republicans are not listening to the will of voters statewide. Democrats also say a simple majority should rule. State Sen. Mary Elizabeth Coleman (R-Arnold) supports IP reform but thinks supporters need to do a better job of messaging that. She joined us live this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri", telling listeners that initiative petition reform sounds like she needs to fix her computer. Senator Coleman, who's seeking the GOP nomination for Missouri's soon-to-be-open Third Congressional District seat, says there have been more than a dozen changes to the state Constitution in the past 20 years. She's also pleased with the Missouri House's passage of open enrollment legislation, saying education freedom is becoming more and more popular. She also addressed some of the chaos that's been happening in the Missouri Senate, and the tension between Senate GOP leaders like Rowden and the Freedom Caucus:

Dean Phillips is a father, businessman, civic leader, eternal optimist, and Representative for Minnesota's Third Congressional District in Congress.

Congressman Earl Blumenauer has represented Oregon's Third Congressional District since 1996, and he's become a fixture in Portland over the years, known both for his signature bowtie and for his passion for bikes and public transit in the Rose City. There's even a local bike and pedestrian bridge named after him. Rep. Blumenauer was a guest on this week's episode of Straight Talk to discuss the current challenges Portland faces with crime and homelessness, his vision for the future of the city and how his work in Congress will impact things back in Oregon. Asked about the current state of Portland, Blumenauer described the city's outlook as very mixed, with serious problems and community struggles contrasting with good moments.

"They're fighting to move forward, to take advantage of opportunities, and to make sure that we're not going to be defeated by these circumstances."
