Podcast appearances and mentions of Hans von Spakovsky

The Supreme Court just handed down a unanimous 9-0 ruling on guns and marijuana — and Hans von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow at Advancing American Freedom, is here on the Marc Cox Morning Show to break down exactly what it means for you. The case that stopped Amy Coney Barrett cold — the government admitted that if she occasionally took an Ambien with her husband's prescription, she'd be breaking the law — and the Court said that's simply too extreme. Then Hans drops the bombshell everyone's been waiting for: birthright citizenship, biological men in women's sports, and several other landmark decisions are likely dropping Tuesday and Thursday this week — and possibly next week before everyone leaves Washington for July 4th. Plus, the Montana Supreme Court — in one of the most conservative states in the country — just ruled that listing your biological sex on a birth certificate is discriminatory. Hans has the receipts, Marc has the outrage, and the Marc Cox Morning Show has the analysis you won't get anywhere else. The biggest Supreme Court week of the year is here — don't miss a word of it.

Hour 3 of the Marc Cox Morning Show is one for the ages. Live at Whitmore Country Club, Marc sits down with two American heroes — Army veteran and Folds of Honor board director Ray Wagner, who watched his West Point classmate receive the Medal of Honor at the White House, and retired Marine Sergeant Rocky Sickman, who spent 444 days as an Iranian hostage and delivers a chilling warning: Iran told him to his face they just wait out American presidents. Then Hans von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow at Advancing American Freedom, breaks down the unanimous Supreme Court marijuana gun ruling and drops a bombshell — birthright citizenship and biological men in women's sports decisions could land as soon as this week. Dan Buck brings the number one downloaded song of the weekend — Tom McDonald's "Remember Who You Are" — and makes the case that the silent majority is done being shamed into silence. And Matt Schwartz, president of Missouri and Southern Illinois Folds of Honor, reveals 150 qualified scholarship applicants didn't get funded this year — and every $5,000 changes a military family's life forever. Missouri Attorney General Katherine Hannaway joins next hour. Don't go anywhere.

It involved guns, and drugs, and the purchase of guns, but not the purchase of guns. All the fun stuff, in one SCOTUS ruling and one AFS segment.

Guests Include: Climate Depot's Marc Morano, On Wealth and Progress' Todd Sheets, Advancing American Freedom's Hans Von Spakovsky, SAVE's Ed Bartlett, WILL's Will Flanders, Sheriff David Clarke

Hans von Spakovsky discusses major Supreme Court cases involving birthright citizenship and women's sports, Sen. Ron Johnson's push for FDA transparency on COVID vaccine data, vaccine liability protections, and efforts to eliminate DEI-related federal grants.

Dan Buck and Kim St. Onge discuss the reported Iran peace agreement, falling oil prices, America 250 events, and major St. Louis headlines before talking with Hans von Spakovsky about key Supreme Court cases, FDA transparency, vaccine liability protections, and federal DEI funding.

A mail in ballot sent to every voter in the state? This can't be real. But it's the way California does elections, with literally millions of ballots floating around without much of a thought to where they go, or who could handle them.

A full slate today with Hans Von Spakovsky on the Federal government's intentions to scrutinize California's elections, JD Vance will appear on the View, and Kayleigh Kozak gives us her abuse story, and why it could change national laws.

And, JD Vance will appear on the View next week! Must see TV? We'll cover it for sure! So just keep it here, and you'll also hear about unspoken rules for men in Wiggins America, and election integrity- an update from Hans Von Spakovsky.

Hans von Spakovsky, Advancing American Freedom Senior Legal Fellow, joins the show to discuss the LA Mayoral race, and what caused Spencer Pratt to drop to third place.

The left's playbook is out in the open — and Hans Von Spakovsky is here to call it by name. The senior legal fellow from Advancing American Freedom joins the Marc Cox Morning Show to break down the coordinated protest machine targeting ICE facilities nationwide, the stunning dismissal of the Kilmar Abrego Garcia criminal indictment by an Obama-appointed judge, and the growing epidemic of rogue federal judges issuing injunctions before the other side even has time to respond. Garcia wasn't just an MS-13 member — according to multiple grand jury witnesses, he made a hundred trips hauling illegal aliens, guns, and narcotics from Houston to Maryland. And a judge just threw it all out. Meanwhile another judge told the President of the United States he can't put his name on the Kennedy Center — and got a shrug in return. Hans Von Spakovsky has read every page of every opinion, and what he found will make your blood boil. This is the legal warfare being waged against your country — and the Marc Cox Morning Show isn't looking away.

Hour three of the Marc Cox Morning Show is where the gloves come off. Hans Von Spakovsky joins to dismantle the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case piece by piece — a man grand jury witnesses identified as an MS-13 smuggler who made a hundred runs hauling aliens, guns, and narcotics, whose criminal indictment just got thrown out by an Obama-appointed judge on logic that Von Spakovsky says makes no sense whatsoever. Then Dan Buck brings the Buck Stops Here with a barnburner on the transgender movement's assault on American children, the family, and basic biology — and the landmark Texas victory where Ken Paxton forced the largest children's hospital in America to fire its doctors, pay $10 million, and fund detransition services for the kids they harmed. Kim closes the hour on a whim with a clear-eyed, common sense take on pride month, public decency, and why a parade that features men urinating on each other in front of children deserves the same scrutiny as any other act of public indecency — rainbow flag or not. Three segments, three conversations the mainstream media refuses to have. Only on the Marc Cox Morning Show.

Annie talks with Hans Von Spakovsky, Former FEC Commissioner and former DOJ Lawyer, talking about the recent indictment put on against former Cuban President Raul Castro

Illegal aliens are being deported, and self-deporting, but it's not just that- it's gerryMAXXING as it's referred to in political circles, which will ultimately benefit Republicans.

Hans von Spakovsky joins the show to break down ongoing legal battles over congressional redistricting, focusing on recent Supreme Court-related rulings and state-level disputes. The discussion centers on Tennessee, where debates over district boundaries and representation are intensifying, with criticism aimed at arguments framed around race-based representation while pointing to examples like Memphis-area districts electing a white Democratic representative. The conversation then shifts to Virginia, where the state Supreme Court struck down a Democratic-backed redistricting effort for failing to follow constitutional procedures, a decision Hans describes as a major setback for Democrats and unlikely to be overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court due to deference on state constitutional interpretation. Additional context includes Alabama's ongoing push to revisit its congressional map after earlier court rulings, with broader commentary on how Voting Rights Act claims are being applied and challenged in current litigation.

Being conservative doesn't mean never calling out high prices. In fact, it's just the opposite- but does the war actually need course change? Hans Von Spakovsky and Wiggins America this hour.

In the Hans von Spakovsky segment, Marc Cox and legal expert Hans von Spakovsky break down escalating legal and constitutional questions tied to U.S. involvement in tensions with Iran, including debate over the War Powers Act and whether presidential military actions fall within constitutional limits. Hans argues that presidents of both parties have long treated the statute as advisory rather than strictly binding, raising questions about enforcement and congressional authority. The conversation then shifts to a major Supreme Court battle involving a ruling that restricts mailing the abortion drug mifepristone into states like Louisiana, with Hans explaining the legal argument that states can require in-person dispensing to ensure compliance with state abortion laws and medical oversight. The discussion concludes with concerns over election integrity, referencing a Michigan Senate candidate's past voting controversy and broader DOJ cases involving non-citizen voter registration, with Hans emphasizing ongoing disputes over voter roll accuracy and automatic registration systems in multiple states.

Water leaks, how do you get notified? Other news and views and legal fellow and big brain Hans Von Spakovsky from the Advancing American Freedom think tank - VERY happy with the court decision saying no race-based redistricting permitted.

Legal analysis covers federal charges tied to the White House Correspondents event attack, including assault on federal officers, firearms-related offenses, and potential life sentence conspiracy statutes involving threats against senior officials. Discussion of a manifesto highlights premeditation and its impact on escalation of charges. The conversation also addresses First Amendment boundaries, particularly where speech may cross into incitement, and how courts distinguish protected expression from criminal conduct. The segment closes with international law questions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, clarifying maritime passage rights during military conflict and explaining U.S. restrictions tied to Iranian port access and security operations.

So that's...suspicious. The Southern Poverty Law Center was paying hate groups for hate info that none of us have seen, still. 3 million dollars transferred, that we know of.

Marc welcomes Hans von Spakovsky to discuss the Justice Department's push to obtain voter rolls nationwide, with lawsuits filed against 29 states and D.C. after many refused to comply. They react to findings that 350,000 deceased individuals were discovered on voter rolls from 60 million records reviewed so far, along with 25,000 individuals lacking citizenship records referred to Homeland Security. Hans argues resistance from states raises questions about transparency, particularly in places with automatic voter registration tied to driver's licenses. The conversation then shifts to the Supreme Court, where Hans discusses delayed rulings, alleged leaks, and unusual public criticism from Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson directed at fellow justices.

With news of Alito going to the hospital, everyone is asking the same question. "Alito has been on the court for only 20 years," says Hans, while Thomas has been on for 30. That's a big time difference!

Not that there's anything wrong with that. We talk to Hogan Gidley and Jim Carafano about Iran success, which is increasing by the day, and Hans Von Spakovsky about the Supreme Court justices. Could Trump pick another?

Hans von Spakovsky joins to discuss an appeals court reconsidering legal challenges to the White House ballroom project, arguing opponents likely lack standing and noting long-standing bipartisan demand for expanded state dinner space. He also previews upcoming U.S. Supreme Court rulings, including a fast-tracked case on ending Temporary Protected Status for migrants.

Probably since FDR, but in the opposite direction. Trump is losing a lot in the lower courts because of partisan judges, but winning where it matters in the higher courts.

With Annie out and Wrecker in, Wiggins and Ethan fill out the rest with discussion about social media sobriety (it's a thing) and how the Iran takedown is already reducing terror cells in the Middle East. Hans Von Spakovsky on birthright citizenship news, and more!
