Democrats constantly cry conspiracy when they are ones conspiring against America. PLUS, Martha Byrne, Emmy Award-winning actress and author of In the Interest of Justice: One Woman's FIght Against a Weaponized Justice Department to Save Her Husband, tells Shaun how the Biden DOJ created a conspiracy against her husband (a highly decorated former NYPD sergeant) and chronicled what happened to her family when you go against the government, proving the need for Trump's weaponization fund. And Dr. EJ Antoni, Chief Economist and The Heritage Foundation, talks to Shaun about Elon Musk's economic achievements and the meaning of affordability under the Trump administration.

President Trump is in Geneva for the G7 summit, where Vice President Vance is expected to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the Islamic Republic of Iran. While the administration touts this as the "peace deal" that ends decades of hostility, the reality is far more nuanced. In truth, it's a 60-day clock to negotiate the world's most dangerous flashpoints: Iran's nuclear ambitions, missile programs, terror proxies, and control over the crucial Strait of Hormuz. Has the U.S. secured a diplomatic breakthrough, or have we blinked first against a fanatical regime? To break down what this deal really means, Victoria Coates, Vice President of the Heritage Foundation's Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy and former Deputy National Security Advisor during the first Trump administration, joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to discuss the deal, Iran's motives, and what comes next.

Marc Cox took the day off — but the Marc Cox Morning Show never sleeps. Dan Buck and Kim St. Onge delivered four hours of news, truth, and conservative fire that the mainstream media won't touch. A historic Iran peace deal is on the brink of being signed this weekend — JD Vance is already in the air, oil is crashing toward $80, and Democrats have no answer for a president who ended the biggest nuclear threat on earth in 104 days. New York City descended into mob violence two nights running — Spurs fans beaten, a taxi driver nearly killed, and cops punched on camera while the Mondaire Jones administration keeps police handcuffed. Even Stephen A. Smith drew the line. Virginia's Clean Slate Law is about to hide 100,000 criminal records from landlords and employers. St. Louis County Executive Sam Page faces his day of reckoning in court. Heritage Foundation's Brent Sadler explains exactly why the IRGC is sabotaging the peace deal. Rep. Eric Burlison drops truth bombs on FISA, digital currency, and the surveillance state. Defending Education's Rhyen Staley exposes the National PTA as a woke indoctrination machine operating inside your child's school right now. And a CIA whistleblower blows the lid off Anthony Fauci's intentional COVID cover-up — a crime against humanity that a presidential pardon may not be able to bury forever. This is the Marc Cox Morning Show — and today was one for the books.

Brent Sadler from The Heritage Foundation joins the show to talk about a possible peace deal with Iran being signed this weekend

In Washington's think tank row, a single document has become a kind of political Rorschach test. Project 2025, a more than 900 page “Mandate for Leadership” assembled by the conservative Heritage Foundation and allied groups, is billed by its authors as a roadmap “to advance positive change for America.” According to Heritage's own description, it is a presidential transition project designed so a conservative administration can “take the reins of government” quickly and decisively. Critics see something very different. The American Civil Liberties Union describes Project 2025 as “a blueprint for a radical restructuring of the executive branch,” warning that it would replace long standing legal safeguards with “right wing ideals” across immigration, civil rights, and reproductive freedom. Democracy Forward, a nonpartisan watchdog, calls it “a systemic, ruthless plan” that could undermine the quality of life for millions, from workers and veterans to parents and students. At the heart of the plan is a sweeping reimagining of federal agencies. The Brookings Institution notes that on education alone, Project 2025 recommends dismantling the U.S. Department of Education, eliminating the Head Start program for low income children, and phasing out Title I funds that support schools in poor communities. It also calls for rescinding federal civil rights protections for LGBTQ+ students and weakening enforcement of disability rights. Brookings warns that these moves would “dramatically reshape the federal government's role” in schooling. The same impulse to centralize power runs through the broader agenda. The Heritage playbook urges a president to assert direct control over the civil service, in part by reviving “Schedule F,” a Trump era job classification that would make it easier to fire career officials and replace them with political loyalists. Democracy Forward reports that Project 2025's authors claim many of these changes could be carried out “through executive branch action alone — without new legislation.” Other proposals reach deeply into daily life. The American Civil Liberties Union highlights language urging mass deportations, new limits on asylum, and even ending birthright citizenship for some children of noncitizens, a direct challenge to the Fourteenth Amendment. The Center for American Progress points to recommendations to raise the Social Security full retirement age from 67 to 69, weaken unions by banning public sector bargaining, and reduce veterans' disability eligibility by narrowing covered conditions and automating denials. Supporters argue that these ideas would cut red tape, restore traditional values, and rein in what they describe as an unaccountable “administrative state.” Opponents counter that, taken together, the proposals would concentrate power in the presidency, erode checks and balances, and roll back protections that many listeners may take for granted. As the next campaign season accelerates, key questions loom: which parts of this blueprint will a future administration embrace, what can be done by executive order, and how will courts and Congress respond. Those decision points will determine whether Project 2025 remains a manifesto on a shelf or becomes a governing reality. Thanks for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

In our political climate, it is always nice to have a bit of authentic bipartisanship. The Marshall plan to rebuild Europe following World War 2, the Interstate Highway System under President Eisenhower, and the Apollo Program are all examples of both political parties coming together for a common goal.  The first Trump Administration saw another of these moments in the passage of the Formerly Incarcerated Reenter Society Transformed Safely Transitioning Every Person Act  or First Step Act in 2018. The bill was designed to reform federal prison policy and reduce the rates of recidivism, meaning criminals returning to incarceration. It had supporters from all over the political spectrum, and in its seven years of life, has indeed lowered recidivism, extended credits to prisoners for good behavior, and allowed some elderly or sick prisoners to return home.  Last week, the Supreme Court handed down decisions on three decisions having to do with criminal justice, two of them having to do with the First Step Act. Here to explain, and to talk about what he's watching for from the land's highest court this term, is Cully Stimson, Senior Legal Fellow here at the Heritage Foundation.     --- Email us with thoughts, questions, or suggestions: HeritageExplains@heritage.org   ---Follow Cully Stimson on X: https://x.com/cullystimson 

They changed the name — but they didn't change the game. Heritage Foundation's Jonathan Butcher joins Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge to blow the lid off what's really happening on America's college campuses, and it's worse than any parent wants to hear. DEI didn't disappear — it just rebranded as "belonging," and the racial preferences in admissions, hiring, and promotion are still running full speed. Meanwhile, tuition keeps skyrocketing because Washington keeps handing out student loans, lazy rivers get built at LSU, and kids graduate with degrees in made-up studies programs and can't find a job. Butcher's new book features an all-star conservative lineup — Kevin Roberts, Chris Rufo, Larry Arnn of Hillsdale — and it makes the case that the four-year degree racket is collapsing under its own weight. Trade schools are booming, AI isn't replacing your plumber, and the Marc Cox Morning Show is asking the questions Missouri's Republican supermajority should have been asking years ago. You need to hear this before you write that next tuition check.

Hour 3 of the Marc Cox Morning Show brought the firepower — and not just from the studio air conditioner finally kicking in. Heritage Foundation's Jonathan Butcher pulled back the curtain on America's college campus DEI shell game, where "diversity" got swapped for "belonging" but the racial preferences never went anywhere. Then Ken Cuccinelli delivered the most battle-tested election integrity analysis you'll hear anywhere in conservative media — a surgical takedown of John Thune's surrender on the SAVE Act, a roadmap for attaching it to FISA, and a cold hard look at California's election system that he says is built from the ground up to absorb cheating. Scott Pelley's media meltdown got the two-tape treatment that left CBS News with nowhere to hide. And Kim on a Whim closed the hour exposing a seven-city St. Louis fire department merger that has union power grab written all over it. The Marc Cox Morning Show isn't just talking about what's wrong with America — it's naming names and showing receipts. Hour 4 is straight ahead.

On the hottest Wednesday of the year — inside and outside the studio — Marc Cox, Kim St. Onge, and the best guest lineup in conservative radio delivered four hours of truth that the mainstream media, the Missouri establishment, and the Washington good-old-boy network desperately wish you hadn't heard. America struck Iran overnight, a helicopter went down, and two pilots were pulled from the ocean by an unmanned drone boat in one of the most remarkable military stories of the year. Carmelo Anthony got 35 years while his family pocketed $650,000 from strangers online. Maine Democrats nominated a man with a Nazi tattoo he conveniently forgot about for 20 years. California kept counting votes — and somehow one candidate received zero out of 24,000 consecutive ballots. John Thune admitted on camera he won't even try to pass the Save America Act. Ken Cuccinelli had the battle plan Thune doesn't want the House to hear. Jonathan Butcher exposed DEI's rebranding game on America's college campuses. Taylor Riggs confirmed inflation is at a three-year high and Social Security hits the wall in 2032. Kim St. Onge made the pro-life case that a YouTuber who monetized his pregnant wife's journey had no right to call himself a victim after aborting his Down syndrome son at 20 weeks. And Jimmy Failla made you laugh so hard at the absurdity of it all that you almost forgot how mad you should be. Almost. This is the Marc Cox Morning Show — the four hours of conservative truth that St. Louis, Missouri, and America can't afford to miss. See you Thursday at 5AM.

Vance. También hablamos sobre el lawfare y la deriva política del sistema penal español, en un uso muy alejado incluso del propio marco constitucional y el parlamentarismo. Por último, hablamos sobre cómo continua la situación en Cuba ante el acoso de la administración Trump. Con Pedro García Bilbao y José Luís Carretero. Conduce Juan Carlos Barba.

Be intentional. Design Your New Life in Retirement. Our next groups start in September. The very early registration discount ends June 21st. Learn more. What if everything you've been told about retirement is quietly working against you? John Coleman has spent his career around money and purpose, which makes his message all the more striking: money is a tool, not the point. In his new book, Good Money: Six Steps to Building a Financial Life with Purpose, he rethinks personal finance around human flourishing, and one of his steps reframes retirement itself: save for freedom, not retirement. We explore why the conventional retirement script, a withdrawl into pure leisure, carries real costs to meaning, community, and health; how continued, self-directed work changes both the math and the meaning of your plan; why your worth is never your net worth; and how to design your next chapter deliberately. It's a conversation that bridges the financial and non-financial sides of retirement, looks at retirement and purpose, and gives you a fresh way to think about what comes next. John Coleman joins us from Atlanta. ________________________ Bio John Coleman is the author of Good Money: Six Steps to Building a Financial Life with Purpose and The HBR Guide to Crafting Your Purpose.

Money is good only in so much as you use it for things that build flourishing in your lives and the lives of others.”  On Identity “Too often we fall into making our identity the things that are easiest to measure rather than things that are most important.” On Purpose “I believe purpose is a thing that's built, not found.

At Amazon's annual meeting, the company faced a shareholder proposal from the Heritage Foundation via its Free Enterprise Initiative over its reliance on the Southern Poverty Law Center in vetting charities. Stefan Padfield presented for Heritage, urging the company to drop this biased, discredited data source as part of its responsibility to fiduciary duty and political neutrality. "The board’s opposition statement is most notable for its glaring failure to address whether Amazon continues to use SPLC data, which is a question expressly raised in our proposal. That omission arguably constitutes a red flag in terms of current oversight. More broadly, the proposition that shareholders should simply trust Amazon’s status quo is belied by the fact that Amazon has been rated a High Risk by 1792 Exchange on its Corporate Bias Ratings – including specifically for concerns about ongoing ties to the SPLC."

Graham Platner is leading Susan Collins in one of the most important Senate races in the country, and instead of asking how Democrats can win the seat, half the party seems busy feeding its own candidate into the purity machine.We break down the allegations against Platner, what he has admitted, what he denies, and why the political background of his most prominent accuser matters. We also talk about the larger question Democrats keep refusing to answer: what exactly is the standard?Because Donald Trump has 34 felony convictions, was found civilly liable for sexual abuse, owes millions in defamation damages, and is still treated by Republicans as perfectly fit to govern. But Graham Platner, a Marine combat veteran and PTSD survivor running against Susan Collins, gets treated like an extinction-level event by his own party.Also in this episode: Trump cries election fraud while his own candidates are winning in California, Pete Hegseth's Pentagon slashes recognized faiths and leans harder into Christian nationalism, Republicans briefly flinch at a $1.8 billion weaponization slush fund before protecting the possibility of bringing it back, Trump's White House ballroom donors rake in billions in federal contracts, and the House moves to rename the Department of Defense the Department of War.It is corruption, hypocrisy, purity politics, and institutional cowardice all the way down.Keywords: Graham Platner, Susan Collins, Maine Senate race, 2026 Senate election, Democratic Party, Democratic purity test, purity politics, Trump corruption, Donald Trump, Democratic double standard, Graham Platner allegations, Susan Collins Maine, Maine primary, Senate Democrats, Chuck Schumer, John Fetterman, Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna, Janet Mills, Project 2025, Heritage Foundation, Independent Women's Forum, Brett Kavanaugh, Trump felony convictions, E.

He explains why Xi Jinping is now operating from a less favorable position, why America's allies may need pressure to take defense more seriously, and why critical minerals have become a major national security priority after years of warning signs from Beijing. Dr. Lee also breaks down the Iran situation, arguing that a successful outcome for the United States would mean setting back Iran's nuclear ambitions and reducing its conventional military threat. He explains why China is a more rational negotiating actor than Iran, how regime security shapes Tehran's decision-making, and why the U.S.-Australia alliance remains strategically strong despite political tensions over Trump.

Graduation season is once more upon us. The long school year has come to a close, and now, in caps and gowns, the nation's graduates gather to receive their various certifications, diplomas, and degrees, and listen to wisdom from a speaker.  However, many college graduations are not the same tranquil affairs they used to be. FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, reports that attempts by students to disinvite commencement speakers over political beliefs have increased sharply over the last decade or so. To name one example, students at Morehouse School of Medicine are attempting to block the commencement speech of alumnus Congressman Rich McCormick, over his stances against DEI, abortion, and transgender surgeries among other views. Some schools, such as New York University, have switched to recorded remarks by students in lieu of an in-person speaker.  At this point, the level of intolerance and intellectual coddling taking place at American universities is not a new story. It's bad, but is there a way back? This week, the Heritage Foundation is releasing a new book: Higher Education in America: It's Worse than you Think. I sat down with Jonathan Butcher, Acting Director of Heritage's Center for Education Policy and one of the book's authors, to ask whether he believes there is hope for the American university.  --- Email us with thoughts, questions, or suggestions: HeritageExplains@heritage.org  ---Jonathan Butcher on X: https://x.com/JM_Butcher?lang=enHigher Education in America: It's Worse Than You Think: https://a.co/d/0aMuIWzN

Send us Fan MailThe host frames the episode as a non-expert, trauma-informed attempt to understand politics and then argues that by May 2026 Project 2025 has become the governing blueprint, despite Donald Trump publicly claiming in 2024 he didn't know its authors. They describe Project 2025 as a roughly 900-page Heritage Foundation “mandate for leadership” written by many Trump-aligned former officials, and point to cabinet staffing—naming FCC head Brandon Carr and Attorney General Pam Bondi—as evidence the authors are now in power. The episode focuses on “Schedule F” reclassification, describing an executive order that turns tens of thousands of civil servants into fireable political appointees, prompting an exodus of about 50,000 professionals replaced by a vetted loyalist database. It also warns about Department of Education plans like universal school choice, phasing out Title I funding, and federal investigations of curriculum around gender identity and systemic racism. The host previews part two on “Operation Restore” and a mass deportation plan and invites discussion. #Project2025 #ScheduleF #Trump #HeritageFoundation #FCC #DepartmentOfEducation #SchoolChoice #TitleI #Politics #MAGA #ExecutiveOrders #Media #CivilService #CultureWar #DeportationSupport the show

At S&P Global's annual meeting, the company faced a shareholder proposal from the Heritage Foundation via its Free Enterprise Initiative, asking the company to report on the risks of the company’s work with activist groups like the Human Rights Campaign. Meanwhile, the company became once again embroiled in controversy over its ESG rating policies while this engagement was going on, underscoring politicization concerns. As Heritage’s Stefan Padfield told the company at its annual meeting: Another red flag calling into question the Company’s status quo is a recent letter from a coalition of 23 states questioning the lawfulness of the ESG policies of S&P Global Ratings. This letter was led in part by Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers and raises the specter of undisclosed and unlawful material conflicts of interest, as well as concerns related to antitrust violations and deceptive trade practices – all connected to the Company’s embrace of politically charged ESG. The foregoing list of red flags suggesting biased decision-making at S&P Global should make it difficult for shareholders to trust the status quo.

Jonah Goldberg is infamous for muttering venomous curses against postliberalism at odd moments, such as while flossing or playing backgammon with Steve Hayes. Recognizing that to the layman this might seem rabid or antisocial, Jonah has invited two authors of a recent book on postliberalism to give some background on this puzzling phenomenon. The trio discusses postliberalism vs. anti-liberalism, integralism, Adrian Vermeule, elite capture, national conservatism, Viktor Orbán, ISI, the Heritage Foundation, subsidiarity, the wish to political violence, postliberalism's institutional future, ground-level antisemitism, right-wing Hegelianism, and Peter Thiel.  Show Notes: —Why Postliberalism Failed —Jonah on the Reagan Caucus Action —Vermeule in The Atlantic: “Beyond Originalism” —Vermeule: “Ralliement: Two Distinctions” —Vermeule: “‘It Can't Happen'; Or, the Poverty of Political Imagination  —Patrick Deneen: Why Liberalism Failed —Vermeule's review of Why Liberalism Failed —Integralism book —The Atlantic: “The MAGA Intellectual Who Prophesied a Queen Melania” —Patrick Deneen: Regime Change —Michael Bonner Remnant The Remnant is a production of ⁠The Dispatch⁠, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a nonpartisan perspective.
