Marc Cox opens with the fallout from a Facebook ban, directing listeners to alternative platforms. The team tackles Biden’s medical transparency crisis after his doctor pleads the Fifth, with former Trump physician Ronnie Jackson alleging a coordinated cognitive decline cover-up—raising serious questions about leadership accountability. Former Senator Jim Talent joins to unpack Ukraine’s complex conflict, highlighting bureaucratic errors halting aid, Trump’s pressure tactics on Putin, and the broader geopolitical fallout, including NATO’s expansion and Iran’s destabilized region.

Jean Evans, former Missouri state representative and now with the American Federation for Children, joins Marc Cox to discuss the expanding movement for school choice in Missouri and nationwide. With 16 states now offering school choice, including South Carolina and Florida, competition is driving public schools to improve, debunking myths that vouchers harm public education. Evans highlights Missouri’s ESA program that funds not only private schooling but also homeschooling, tutoring, and therapies, which recently expanded thanks to a $50 million state appropriation—though it faces legal challenges from the Missouri NEA. Despite a Republican supermajority in Missouri, progress is slowed by legislative filibusters and opposition from some GOP members. Governor Kehoe’s commitment to rewriting the school funding formula and increasing portability shows promise, but the fight continues amid union lawsuits and regulatory threats, especially concerning homeschooling freedoms. Evans underscores that many teachers support school choice and that competition benefits both students and educators.
