LISTEN LIVE: WEEKDAYS 5am - 9am on St. Louis' FM NewsTalk 97.1 Marc Cox has been the host of “The Marc Cox Show” on FM NewsTalk 97.1 since 2010. He is an Emmy award-winning veteran of Television News, with a career that covered 5 states, 4 TV stations, 3 radio stations, and 25 years. He spent 19 of those years at KMOV-TV, as an anchor, reporter, and producer, and covered some of the nation’s biggest stories.

Monday's Marc Cox Morning Show opened with Mark and Kim fresh off a big weekend — Mark catching a Rush concert in Chicago and swinging by Obama's much-mocked Presidential Center, Kim celebrating watching baby Everding grow up. From there, the show never let up: Missouri's no-excuse early voting launched a national conversation about election integrity, with Mark making his passionate case for Amendment 4 to protect the state Constitution and walking listeners through Amendments 5, Prop U, and Prop C ahead of the August 4th election. Kim on a Whim delivered two standout segments — defending homeschooling families against leftist attacks and mocking United Airlines for catering to Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers dodging Trump International Airport. The St. Louis Morning Brief kept it local with a parasitic diarrhea outbreak, a viral flag controversy at Firehouse 35 that ended with an official Fire Department response, and a troubling road rage shooting downtown. Guests brought real depth: Nicole Murray covered gas prices topping $4 amid Iran tensions, Tanya J. Powers unpacked the data center fight spreading from New York to Missouri, and Tom Ackerman broke down Spain's World Cup triumph and the Cardinals' playoff push. The political fireworks peaked with Senators Eric Schmidt and Josh Hawley's takedown of Biden clemency aide Liz Oyer over the release of Dylann Roof, while Andrew Cuomo warned that the Democratic Party's socialist drift could be a gift to Republicans. The show closed with Tom Homan's comply-first message on ICE enforcement and one more push to get out and vote informed. Faith, family, freedom, and Missouri common sense — that's another Monday in the books for the Marc Cox Morning Show.

Hour Four opens with Mark riding high on Rush-fan camaraderie before diving into a lively debate on eliminating Missouri's personal property tax, followed by a sharp Andrew Cuomo interview clip warning that the Democratic Party's socialist turn may be the best gift Republicans could ask for. Mark then walks through St. Louis County's Prop U and Prop C, recommending a no on both, while reinforcing his strong yes on Amendment 4 to protect the Missouri Constitution ahead of tomorrow's start to early voting. Guest Tom Ackerman brings the sports wrap, praising Spain's dominant World Cup title run and diving into the Cardinals' bullpen woes as the team clings to a wild card spot, plus optimism around rising star Jordan Walker. The hour closes with Mark backing Tom Homan's comply-first message on ICE enforcement and a fair-minded take on the Sonny Hostin arrest story, before sending listeners off to vote informed with the Amendment 5 video and voter guide at 971talk.com. Faith, freedom, and Missouri common sense to the very last minute — that's Hour Four of the Marc Cox Morning Show.

Sports voice Tom Ackerman joins Mark to relive Spain's dominant 1-0 World Cup final win over Argentina, crediting Spain's disciplined possession game and praising the tournament's record TV ratings as a sign soccer's American audience keeps growing — even if Tom says US player development still has a long way to go. Then it's on to the Cardinals, coming off a rough loss that exposed bullpen troubles and a stagnant offense, leaving them in a tight wild card race with the Pirates closing in. Tom stays bullish on rookie sensation Jordan Walker after his viral Home Run Derby performance, predicting a monster contract in his future if the Cardinals commit to developing homegrown talent rather than chasing free agents against big-market teams. Great sports talk, straight analysis, hometown pride — that's the Marc Cox Morning Show. Coming up: more ahead as the show wraps up Hour Four.

Hour Three opens with reflections on kids growing up and Missouri's early voting kicking off tomorrow, with Mark making his final case for Amendment 4 ahead of the August 4th election. Guest Tanya J. Powers joins to break down New York's data center moratorium and the transparency questions surrounding these massive facilities coming to Missouri communities. The hour hits its peak with Senators Eric Schmidt and Josh Hawley dismantling Biden DOJ clemency aide Liz Oyer over her recommendation to free Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof and the rest of federal death row, paired with a real update on the Firehouse 35 flag controversy as the Fire Department finally responds. Kim on a Whim closes the hour with a satirical take on United Airlines catering to Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers who don't want to land at the newly renamed Trump International Airport. Sharp commentary, real accountability, and plenty of laughs — that's Hour Three of the Marc Cox Morning Show.

Powers (Fox News Radio, data centers)

Fox News Radio's Tonya J. Powers joins Mark and Kim to unpack New York Governor Kathy Hochul's year-long pause on new large-scale data center permits, and why communities across Missouri and southern Illinois — including St. Charles — are pushing back with their own moratoriums. Tonya lays out just how massive these facilities have become, with one Louisiana campus now spanning over 3,600 acres, larger than 2,700 football fields, while raising tough questions about strained power grids, rising residential electricity costs, and limited long-term job creation once construction wraps. Mark adds a local wrinkle: a friend in the industry says it takes as few as six people to run an entire data center once it's operational. The real issue, Tonya says, is transparency — how much these companies actually pay in taxes and what communities get in return. It's the kind of deep-dive accountability conversation that defines the Marc Cox Morning Show. Coming up: more on the Schmitt-Hawley hearing, and Kim on a Whim at 7:45.

Hour Two opens with Mark reliving his Rush concert weekend and Trump's defiant World Cup trophy moment, before the Shortlist digs into a fresh State Department travel warning on the Middle East and the growing socialist push from Kathy Hochul and Pete Buttigieg, who Mark says are betting wrong on red-state America. The St. Louis Morning Brief tackles a 400 percent spike in parasitic diarrhea cases statewide, the still-unresolved flag controversy at Firehouse 35, a disturbing road rage shooting that left a 13-year-old hurt downtown, and the ongoing data center fight spilling out of Festus. Guest Nicole Murray brings the business rundown — gas prices crossing $4 a gallon amid Iran tensions, Boeing's rocky financial road ahead, and a Shakira-approved verdict on the World Cup halftime show. In Other News closes things out with a bizarre Airbnb photo mystery, Finland's pink singles baskets, and the first lawsuit tied to Taco Bell's lettuce outbreak. Real talk, real St. Louis, real conservative common sense — that's Hour Two of the Marc Cox Morning Show.

The St. Louis Morning Brief tackles a growing health scare as cyclosporiasis cases spike over 400 percent statewide, with Mark and Kim reminding listeners not to panic — cook your vegetables, don't buy into the hysteria. The upside-down flag controversy at Firehouse 35 continues to simmer with still no comment from the Fire Department and no clear timeline on when the photo was taken. Then a sobering local story: a 13-year-old boy shot in an apparent road rage exchange in downtown St. Louis, a stark reminder of how quickly things escalate on the streets these days. Rounding out the brief, the data center fight rages on with a lawsuit setback in Festus and New York becoming the first state to slap a moratorium on large-scale data centers — a fight Mark says isn't going away, no matter how many politicians try to dodge where they really stand. Real news, real St. Louis, real talk — that's the Marc Cox Morning Show. Coming up next: business with Nicole and In Other News.

Hour One of the Marc Cox Morning Show opens with Kim fresh off a Rush concert and a drive-by look at Chicago's much-mocked Obama Presidential Center, before pivoting to the Shortlist — AOC's tone-deaf Southern accent tour through Tennessee, Bill Maher souring on socialism, and Senator Mark Warner getting caught lying about the SAVE Act on live TV. Kim then breaks down Missouri's no-excuse early voting starting tomorrow and makes her case for Amendment 4 ahead of the August 4th election. Kim on a Whim takes direct aim at leftist podcasters trashing homeschool families, with Mark and Kim defending faith-driven parents and exposing why blue states lag behind red states like Tennessee and Montana in homeschool rates. The hour wraps with a developing story out of South City, where an upside-down flag at Firehouse 35 has gone viral — and Mark insists on getting the facts before assigning blame. Faith, family, freedom, and Missouri common sense — that's Hour One of the Marc Cox Morning Show. Hashtags: #MarcCoxMorningShow #KimOnAWhim #MissouriElection #Amendment4 #Homeschooling #SchoolChoice #ParentalRights #ObamaPresidentialCenter #StLouisFireDepartment #FaithFamilyFreedom #CommonSenseConservatism #ConservativeTalk #StLouisRadio

Kim on a Whim takes on the left's latest target: homeschooling families. Mark and Kim break down a viral rant from two liberal podcasters who call homeschool parents trickle-down stupid and admit they'd rather crawl to school than spend time with their own kids — and the Department of Education claps back hard. From there it's a real conversation about why homeschooling works, why blue states have the lowest homeschool rates while places like Tennessee and Montana lead the nation, and why so many Missouri families turned to homeschooling and school choice after seeing exactly what their kids were being taught post-2020. It's faith, family, and parental rights versus a media class that thinks loving your kids too much is the problem — only on the Marc Cox Morning Show. Stick around, because next up is a flag controversy brewing right here at a St. Louis fire station.

We bring you all the important news this week, including the re-opening of the bridge between the U.S. and Canada and what the GOP had to do to make it happen. Plus, a real-life story about eating tacos and getting the worst parasite of summer, and why the SAVE Act is so important.

A jam-packed Friday on The Marc Cox Morning Show tackled election integrity from every angle, starting with President Trump's heavily redacted document release revealing 278,000-plus non-citizen voter registrations, hacked state election systems, and a buried Michigan voter fraud scheme, all while ABC, NBC, and CBS refused to air the speech. Cybersecurity expert Mark Cook demonstrated live how easily voting machines can be manipulated, fueling the show's push for Amendment 4 reform and the Save America Act, backed by Congressman Bob Onder's on-air breakdown of the bill's path through reconciliation. Jim Carafano weighed in on escalating Iran strikes and confirmed foreign hacking threats to U.S. elections, while local news covered Cori Bush's questionable campaign payments, a new County police chief's public safety priorities, and Senator Josh Hawley's fight over mail delays. Two women, Nicole Murray on business and Trisha Burns on the Senate campaign trail, delivered standout moments, with Burns exposing a fabricated smear tied to her real work fixing the broken 988 crisis line. Pat Burns highlighted the youth sports officiating shortage, and the show closed with the Guns and Hoses Queen of Hearts raffle and family birthday celebrations. Faith, family, freedom, and election integrity, that was the heartbeat of the show heading into the August 4th Missouri primary.

The final hour delivers a mix of hard news and community heart. It opens with a stunned reaction to Maine's chaotic Senate debate and fresh detail on the 278,000 non-citizen voter registrations uncovered in Trump's document release, alongside Derek Schmidt's grilling of a DOJ official over commuting 40 death sentences. Pat Burns of PSB Officiating Services explains why youth sports across the region are struggling to find referees and umpires willing to face today's abuse from parents and coaches. Then Tricia Byrnes delivers the hour's biggest gut punch, revealing how her opponent's campaign twisted her real effort to fix a broken 988 crisis line into a fabricated criminal smear, complete with proof they knew the truth all along. The hour, and the week, wraps with the Queen of Hearts drawing for Backstoppers and warm family birthday shoutouts, closing out another week of faith, family, freedom, and accountability on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

The gloves come off as Tricia Byrnes, Missouri House member and Senate District 10 candidate, exposes a vicious opponent-backed attack ad twisting her genuine effort to fix a broken 988 crisis line into a fabricated criminal accusation. Byrnes details how her own investigation found the 988 system leaving suicidal callers waiting over an hour for a human response, a discovery that led President Trump to defund the transgender chatbot portion of the program nationally. She reveals her opponent's campaign strategists knew the real story, had it in writing, and pushed the false narrative anyway, even mistakenly mailing the attack piece to the wrong district. Byrnes stands firm on her record, from holding the federal government accountable on Coldwater Creek to banning cell phones in classrooms, while pivoting to her next fight: getting books and cursive writing back in Missouri schools. A raw, revealing conversation about the dirty tricks of primary season on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

Pat Burns of PSB Officiating Services, who assigns referees and umpires to about 95 area schools, joins the show to explain a shortage hitting youth sports across the board. Burns says the average high school official is now in his early 50s, with too few young people stepping in to replace them, even as leagues like Parkway Rockwood host over 500 youth basketball games on a single Saturday. He shares harrowing stories, from a parent shoving a referee decades ago to being spit on by a player, and argues today's abuse isn't necessarily worse, just more visible thanks to social media amplifying every ugly moment. The takeaway for parents and grandparents alike: respect the people willing to do a thankless job, or there won't be anyone left to call the game. A grounded, common-sense conversation on The Marc Cox Morning Show about accountability, respect, and community.

Hour 3 blends national security, legislative wins, and a sobering look at technology's dark side. Jim Carafano breaks down the strikes near Bandar Abbas and confirms serious evidence of Chinese, Russian, and North Korean hacking of American election systems. Congressman Bob Onder delivers a full report from the Capitol Beat: the Save America Act's path through reconciliation, the newly passed Chloe Cole Act protecting children from transgender medical procedures, warnings about a potential Cori Bush comeback in Missouri's First District, and the case for an 8-0 congressional map. Kim on a Whim closes the hour wrestling with a disturbing AI deepfake lawsuit against xAI, a timely reminder for families about the real dangers lurking online. Through it all, The Marc Cox Morning Show stays anchored in family, faith, and the fight to protect both elections and children.

Congressman Bob Onder joins the Capitol Beat with a full slate of conservative wins and warnings. He lays out the plan to fold the Save America Act's voter ID and citizenship-check requirements into the reconciliation bill, sidestepping the filibuster while calling out RINO Tom Tillis for standing in the way of common-sense election integrity that over 80 percent of Democrats and minority voters actually support. Onder confirms the danger of a Cori Bush comeback in Missouri's First Congressional District, making the case for an 8-0 congressional map, and details his own Better Child Care for Students and Parents Act moving education authority back to the states. The biggest news: the Chloe Cole Act, ending pediatric transgender procedures on minors, just passed committee 13 to 8, with Onder praising detransitioner Chloe Cole's courage in speaking out. He closes urging listeners to pay close attention to down-ballot races like St. Charles County's Director of Elections. The Marc Cox Morning Show keeps the focus on protecting kids, protecting elections, and protecting the Republic.

Jim Carafano of the Heritage Foundation joins the show to unpack the overnight strikes near Bandar Abbas and why President Trump waited so long to respond to Iran's provocations. Carafano makes the case that Trump follows a Reagan-style peace through strength philosophy, weighing every American life before pulling the trigger, and dismisses concerns over presidential safety by praising the Secret Service under this administration. The two also dig into the president's election integrity speech, with Carafano confirming there's serious evidence China, Russia, and North Korea have hacked American election websites and stolen voter data, while blasting officials who limited the president's access to critical intelligence. The takeaway for listeners: protecting America's elections and calling out China's malicious activity isn't optional, it's a matter of national security that transcends politics.

Hour 2 keeps the pressure on accountability and truth-telling. The show opens with outrage that ABC, NBC, and CBS refused to air President Trump's election integrity address, even as newly released FBI files detail a pay-to-play voter fraud scheme in Muskegon, Michigan. The St. Louis Morning Brief digs into fresh questions about Congresswoman Cori Bush's campaign payments to her husband, a new County police chief's plan to fill 100 vacant positions and crack down on the minor curfew, and Senator Josh Hawley's fight for answers on St. Louis mail delays. Business news with Nicole Murray covers a rocky market, local restaurant news, and the Taco Bell lettuce outbreak, sandwiched around a sobering look at more than 100 House Democrats voting to cut off funding to Israel. In Other News closes things out with some much-needed levity before Jim Carafano and Congressman Bob Onder take the mic. Faith, family, freedom, and a free press that still tells the truth, that's the mission this hour on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

It's a busy St. Louis Morning Brief. New records show Cori Bush's campaign has paid husband Courtney Merritt roughly $120,000 since 2022, including payments once flagged in a prior ethics complaint, while questions linger over funds allegedly funneled from a tornado relief charity. St. Louis County's new police chief lays out his priorities, including filling 100 vacant positions, boosting visible patrols, cracking down on the minor curfew, and reevaluating a juvenile point system critics say lets young car thieves walk free. Elsewhere, a local nonprofit rolls out a Peace on Wheels van to counsel gun violence victims, and Senator Josh Hawley calls out the Postmaster General's offer of a facility tour as a photo op instead of real answers on St. Louis's mail delays. The Marc Cox Morning Show keeps its eye on accountability, common-sense policing, and government waste, all before Jim Carafano and Congressman Bob Onder join in the next hour.

Hour 1 of The Marc Cox Morning Show sets an urgent tone for election integrity heading into the August 4th Missouri primary. Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge dig through Trump's heavily redacted document release, uncovering references to 278,000 non-citizen voter registrations and hacked state voter files — then call out RINOs Tom Tillis and John Thune for blocking the Save America Act. Kim on a Whim brings cybersecurity expert Mark Cook's jaw-dropping demonstration of how easily voting machines can be manipulated, sparking a rare Marc-and-Kim agreement on federal election standards. Cox closes the hour laying out the conservative case for Amendment 4's initiative petition reform and rolling out his local endorsements, including Bill Igel for St. Charles County Executive. Faith, family, freedom, and fair elections — that's the throughline this hour on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

Kim St. Onge kicks off Kim on a Whim with a little levity before diving into election security with real teeth. She spotlights Mark Cook, a 40-plus year cybersecurity IT professional touring the country to demonstrate — live, on camera — how a few keystrokes can flip tens of thousands of votes from Trump to Biden on so-called gold standard voting machines. Kim and Marc Cox tackle the media's favorite deflection, there's no proof, and point out these are the same experts who were confidently wrong about last week's news cycle. The two find common ground on a surprising idea: federal standards for how elections are run, even as they respect states' rights elsewhere. Kim closes with a nod to Amendment 5 and two weeks left until the August 4th election — The Marc Cox Morning Show urging listeners to check out HandCountRoadShow.org and get educated before they vote.

On this jam-packed Thursday edition of the Marc Cox Morning Show, Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge covered it all — from national politics to hometown St. Louis grit. The day built toward President Trump's 8pm primetime address on election integrity, with JD Vance's candid two-hour Rogan interview on Israel, Iran, and the Epstein files providing a preview of the administration's unfiltered approach. The show paid tribute to the two-year anniversary of the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt with widow Helen Comperatore's haunting remarks, while former Senator Jim Talent, Fox's Shannon Bream, and correspondent Griff Jenkins each brought sharp national and foreign policy insight. Locally, Marc and Kim defended Cardinal Nation against Barstool Sports on Kim on a Whim, dug into a St. Louis police funding fight rooted in political spite, exposed a shameful attempt to gut charges in the TJ Brown beating case, and called out defamatory election-season attack ads. Sports anchor Tom Ackerman championed the fight to save AM radio, and Dr. Joe Ojile brought the science on the daylight saving time debate. The show closed with Governor Tim Walz's stunning defense of a deported child predator — a fitting reminder of the stakes this show never stops fighting for. Faith, family, freedom, and common sense: that's the Marc Cox Morning Show, every single day.

The Marc Cox Morning Show closes strong with a hard-hitting final hour. Marc calls out defamatory local election ads targeting conservative candidates Bill Igel and Trisha Burns, then welcomes Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream for an inside look at tonight's presidential address on election integrity and the lingering questions around Mitch McConnell's health. Griff Jenkins checks in from Kyiv with a sharp interview of a Democratic Socialists of America spokeswoman who couldn't defend her own platform, plus an early look at Christopher Nolan's Odyssey. The hour — and the show — ends on a gut punch: Governor Tim Walz questioning the deportation of a convicted child predator, a chilling reminder of what almost was.

Griff Jenkins checks in from Kyiv with a can't-miss story: his interview with a Democratic Socialists of America spokeswoman who couldn't name a single historical example of socialism actually working — and squirmed when pressed on her platform to abolish the Senate and presidency. Griff also gives an exclusive early take on Christopher Nolan's Odyssey ahead of his sit-down with the director, defending the film against culture-war criticism and calling it a possible career-best. Marc, Kim, and Griff close by exposing socialism's glaring hypocrisy: not one of its champions will actually share their own hard-earned grades, let alone move to a socialist country to prove their point.

Shannon Bream, host of Fox News Sunday, joins Marc and Kim with insider scoop on tonight's presidential address, revealing it will center on election integrity and a renewed push for the SAVE Act, even as some Republicans worry it risks rehashing 2020 right before the midterms. Shannon also weighs in on the massive void left by the late Senator Lindsey Graham, new Senator Darlene Graham Nordone stepping in to carry his agenda, growing bipartisan pressure for proof of Mitch McConnell's health, and why the Supreme Court justices' rare Capitol Hill testimony about ongoing threats to their safety matters.

Hour Three of the Marc Cox Morning Show opens with a somber look back at the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt on its two-year anniversary, featuring the widow of Corey Comperatore and lingering questions about Secret Service failures that day. Former Senator Jim Talent joins to back JD Vance's measured stance on Israel and weighs in on Cori Bush's leftward lurch locally. Dr. Joe Ojile of the Clayton Sleep Institute brings the science on the daylight saving time debate, and Kim on a Whim closes the hour tackling St. Louis's referee shortage crisis and the parental bad behavior driving it.

Sleep expert Dr. Joe Ojile of the Clayton Sleep Institute joins Marc and Kim to explain the science behind the daylight saving time debate. He discusses why many medical experts favor permanent standard time, how sleep patterns differ between early birds and night owls, and why later school start times benefit teens. #MarcCoxMorningShow #DaylightSavingTime #DrJoeOjile #SleepHealth #CircadianRhythm #ClaytonSleepInstitute #971FMTalk #StLouisRadio

Former Senator Jim Talent joins Marc and Kim with 30 years of foreign policy wisdom, backing JD Vance's take that Israel is a valuable ally whose interests sometimes diverge from ours, just like any partnership — and dismissing the notion that Israel is losing ground anywhere except on the radical left. Talent also weighs in on Benjamin Netanyahu's political future, comparing him to Churchill and Thatcher, before turning to the local scene: Cori Bush's union and Democratic Socialists of America endorsements, and why a hard left lurch could actually help Republicans if primary voters reject it.

Marc and Kim tear into Congresswoman Summer Lee's defense of race-based medicine, break down the controversial downgrading of charges against the man accused of brutally beating officer TJ Brown, and welcome sports anchor Tom Ackerman to discuss his DC trip lobbying for the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act — a public safety fight with President Trump's personal backing. The hour wraps with lighter fare in In Other News, including Chuck Schumer's hot mic mishap and a viral cockroach moment.

Sports anchor Tom Ackerman joins Marc and Kim to laugh off Barstool Sports' cheap shots at Cardinal Nation before diving into something far more serious: his trip to Washington DC lobbying Congress to pass the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act. Tom breaks down why AM radio remains critical infrastructure for emergency alerts and public safety when cell towers and power grids fail — and reveals President Trump himself weighed in on a call with Speaker Mike Johnson to get it moving. From Elon Musk's resistance to a who's-who of Missouri lawmakers backing the bill, this is a fight for something every American should care about.

Marc and Kim question why the charge against Elijah Gant — accused in the brutal beating of officer TJ Brown during the Ferguson anniversary unrest — was quietly downgraded from first to second degree assault just days before trial, and wonder if politics played a role. Plus, Governor Kehoe signs off on higher Missouri highway speed limits, a 12-year-old is shot in South City in yet another troubling pattern of youth gun violence, and search crews continue looking for a missing swimmer at Castlewood State Park. Real news, real accountability, straight from St. Louis.

Hour One of the Marc Cox Morning Show delivers it all — national stakes and hometown grit. Marc and Kim set the table for President Trump's primetime address tonight, dig into JD Vance's remarkably candid Rogan interview on Israel and Iran, and defend Cardinal Nation against Barstool Sports' cheap shots after Jordan Walker's Home Run Derby win on Kim on a Whim. But the hour closes on a serious note: St. Louis city leaders playing spiteful games with injured police officers' workers' comp claims, proof positive of what happens when socialist politics gets put ahead of public safety. Faith, family, freedom, and common sense — that's the Marc Cox Morning Show, hour after hour.

Kim on a Whim is fired up! Barstool Sports takes a shot at Cardinals fans right after Jordan Walker's Home Run Derby win, calling St. Louis boring and its fans conceited — and Marc and Kim aren't having it. They break down why Cardinal Nation's loyalty and 11 World Series titles earn the hate, dig into Jordan Walker's impressive family pedigree, and predict a big payday coming his way. Then the conversation turns local, with a peek ahead to a St. Louis police funding controversy that's got Marc fired up. Hometown pride, common sense, and zero patience for outsiders trashing St. Louis — that's Kim on a Whim.

On this Wednesday, July 15th edition of The Marc Cox Morning Show, the crew tackles it all — from the escalating standoff with Iran and the Strait of Hormuz blockade, to a jaw-dropping House hearing where a UCSF medical school chancellor couldn't confirm whether a non-biological woman can have a baby. Congresswoman Mary Miller joins twice to demand accountability from woke medical schools and push the Senate to pass the SAVE Act, while Heritage Foundations Andrew Harding breaks down the military and diplomatic chess match with Tehran. Locally, St. Charles County elections candidate Jen Olson fires back at a politically motivated smear campaign, Governor Kehoe signs the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act into law, and Megan Green cashes in a controversial taxpayer settlement. Business coverage brings the best inflation report in six years courtesy of Fox Business's Taylor Riggs, plus a tragic boat sinking near Alcatraz, a Chilis employee fired over a name dispute, and Joe Bidens rambling memoir announcement rounding out the laughs. Faith, family, freedom, and common sense — that's another full show in the books on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

Hour 4 closes out the show with Congresswoman Mary Miller calling for medical schools pushing DEI ideology to lose their accreditation and confirming the Smithsonians restoration under the Trump administration. A lighter moment follows with a viral sailing story and a listener-made AI campaign song for Mark. Fox Business's Taylor Riggs then breaks down the best inflation report in six years, cutting through the noise around Fed policy, gas prices, and the so-called Freedom Fuel stations. The show wraps with Joe Bidens announcement of a post-midterm memoir, delivered in a rambling statement the crew couldn't resist mocking. Truth, accountability, and a little fun to send you into your Wednesday — that's Hour 4 on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

Fox Business Big Money Show co-anchor Taylor Riggs joins to unpack a much-better-than-expected CPI and PPI report, though she cautions that rising oil prices could push numbers back up next month. Riggs explains why Fed Chair Kevin Warsh isn't rushing to cut rates despite a strong labor market, discusses the Big Beautiful Bill fueling a capex surge across American manufacturing, and breaks down the truth behind the so-called Freedom Fuel gas stations touted by the Trump administration. She also flags the rise of socialism in deep-blue cities like New York as a trend worth watching heading into the general election. Real economic analysis, no spin, only on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

Congresswoman Mary Miller returns to the show to expand on her viral hearing exchange, declaring that medical schools abandoning basic scientific truth for DEI ideology should lose their accreditation entirely. She confirms the Smithsonian is being restored under the Trump administration after reports of pride flags replacing American flags in exhibits, and updates listeners on House Republicans pushing to get the SAVE Act, requiring voter ID, through a resistant Senate. Miller doesn't hold back, calling out Democrats for demanding photo ID to attend their own events while fighting it at the ballot box. Truth, accountability, and election integrity — that's Congresswoman Mary Miller on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

Hour 3 of The Marc Cox Morning Show covers breaking news, national security, and local political battles. It opens with the tragic sinking of a pontoon boat near Alcatraz, leaving one dead and several missing during a memorial service gone wrong. Heritage Foundations Andrew Harding then joins to break down the Iran standoff, explaining the factional divide within the regime and why Spain dropped the ball with NATO allies. St. Charles County elections director candidate Jen Olson fires back at a Post-Dispatch hit piece fueled by a vengeful former Wentzville superintendent, standing firm on election integrity and parental rights. And Kim on a Whim exposes the media bias behind CNBCs worst states list while breaking down Missouris Amendment 5 tax debate.

St. Charles County elections director candidate Jen Olson joins the show to respond to a Post-Dispatch hit piece pushed by a former Wentzville superintendent who left with a million-dollar settlement and is now, in Olsons words, out for revenge. Olson revisits her days on the Wentzville school board fighting for transparency on bathroom policy discussions held improperly behind closed doors, and explains why she's now taking on longtime elections director Kurt Barr, citing years of stonewalling on election integrity and machine certification concerns. She also praises the governors new law moving school board elections to November, a move she says will finally expose how partisan those races really are. Election integrity, parental rights, and common sense — that's what Jen Olson and The Marc Cox Morning Show stand for.

Heritage Foundation national security expert Andrew Harding joins the show to unpack President Trumps latest moves on Iran, explaining how the presidents pivot from charging countries for safe passage to securing foreign investment reflects classic dealmaking that benefits America. Harding breaks down why Iran hasn't surrendered despite days of strikes, pointing to a dangerous split between diplomatic-minded officials and the militant IRGC faction still clinging to leverage in the Strait of Hormuz. He also weighs in on Spains disappointing failure to back NATO allies using shared airfields, a decision Harding says only hurt Spains own standing.

It's time for the St. Louis Morning Brief, and there's plenty to unpack.

Then, more on Megan Greens $35,000 settlement over her 2017 Stockley protest tear-gassing, a payout the police union is furious about. Big news out of Jefferson City: Governor Mike Kehoe signs the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, making it first-degree murder to deny life-saving care to a baby who survives an abortion.
