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.

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.

Hour 3 of The Marc Cox Morning Show covers breaking news, national security, and local political battles.

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.

Straight talk, common sense, and no apologies — that's Hour 3 on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

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.

Today's Marc Cox Morning Show covered it all — grief, grit, and good news for St. Louis and the conservative movement. The show opened celebrating Cardinals rookie Jordan Walker's historic Home Run Derby win before turning to the sudden death of Senator Lindsey Graham and South Carolina's smooth transition installing his sister, Darlene Graham Nordone, to finish his term. Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson reported live from Tel Aviv as President Trump reimposed a blockade on Iran and resumed airstrikes for a third straight night. St. Louis Congresswoman Cori Bush faced relentless scrutiny throughout the show over her refusal to explain where tornado relief donations funneled through a dark money nonprofit actually went. Former State Senator John Lamping broke down major wins for school choice and conservative accountability in St. Charles County, while Senator Eric Schmitt paid tribute to Graham and confirmed his support for Missouri's tax-cutting Amendments 4 and 5. Attorney Mark Cantor delivered a powerful conversation on rising antisemitism in America, and Armed American Radio's Mark Walters covered the ongoing fight over the Illinois AR-15 ban. The Media Research Center's Michael Morris exposed how Apple and Google actively suppressed negative coverage of scandal-plagued candidate Graham Platner. The show closed on an upbeat note, with June inflation dropping to its lowest point in over six years. Faith, family, freedom, and common sense — that's the standard every single day on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

The St. Louis Morning Brief tackles a packed local docket this morning. St. Charles County Council unanimously approves a six-month moratorium on data centers, though Marc and Kim question the political timing given the ongoing county executive race. Bigger news: Governor Kehoe's signing of SB1002 moves St. Charles County school board elections to November starting in 2028, a huge win for conservative parents tired of union-backed candidates buying elections through low-turnout special elections. St. Charles also eliminates the annual reapplication hassle for the senior property tax freeze — common sense government at work. Then the brief turns somber, covering the devastating East St. Louis shooting that left five family members dead, with charges expected today against two teen suspects and questions swirling over whether they'll be tried as adults. And Cori Bush's dark money tornado relief scandal gets another look, as Marc and Kim underscore just how stonewalled reporter Mark Maxwell was met with. Real news, real St. Louis — that's the Marc Cox Morning Show Morning Brief. John Lamping joins us next.

Former Missouri State Senator John Lamping joins The Marc Cox Morning Show to unpack why moving St. Charles County school board elections to November is a genuine conservative win — tripling voter turnout and finally forcing accountability into races long dominated by teachers' union money and low-turnout special elections. Lamping goes deeper, exposing how nearly 90 Missouri counties remain captive to public school administrators who've filled the void left after prayer was pulled from classrooms decades ago, replacing it with radical gender ideology and trans education. He also slams the Post-Dispatch for a biased hit piece targeting conservative elections director candidate Jen Olson, and breaks down why Missouri's property tax system punishes homeowners and seniors alike. Before signing off, Lamping gives an inside look at the money finally flowing behind Amendments 4 and 5 — critical ballot measures three weeks from decision day. Marc closes strong, reminding listeners his full voter guide is live now at 971talk.com. Straight talk, real solutions — that's what you get every morning on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

Hour Two of The Marc Cox Morning Show goes global and local without missing a beat. Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson reports live from Tel Aviv on America's reimposed blockade against Iran and the lasting strength of the Abraham Accords under President Trump's leadership. The St. Louis Morning Brief covers a St. Charles County data center moratorium, Governor Kehoe's school board election reform, and the heartbreaking East St. Louis family shooting awaiting charges. Former State Senator John Lamping joins to explain why moving school board elections to November is a conservative victory decades in the making, while exposing a Post-Dispatch hit piece against elections director candidate Jen Olson. Marc closes the hour reminding listeners his 2026 voter guide is live now at 971talk.com. In Other News wraps things up with Jordan Walker's historic Home Run Derby win, FIFA's pricey turf souvenirs, and the University of Chicago's stand against AI cheating in law school.

Bill Eigel comes on to set the record straight, and he doesn't hold back. Marc gives the St. Charles County executive candidate a chance to respond directly to the lying rhino-hat mailer, and together they trace the money straight back to a St. Louis city Democrat PAC tied to consultant Michael Kelly's Show Me Victories firm — the same operation behind Crystal Quade's failed 2024 governor run. Eigel argues the attack proves he's winning, pointing to his conservative record fighting Jeff City rhinos and his intent to cut taxes and property burdens in St. Charles County. The conversation turns to a bigger fear driving city Democrats: Eigel's firm opposition to a city-county merger, even as Mayor Cara Spencer reportedly courts regional leaders toward one. Bill Eigel closes confident, pointing back to his decisive 2022 primary win despite millions spent on similar hit pieces. The Marc Cox Morning Show gives conservatives the real story behind the smear campaign.

Hour Three of The Marc Cox Morning Show delivers foreign policy, local politics, and cutting-edge tech all in one stretch. Bill Eigel joins to fire back at the dark-money rhino mailer attacking his St. Charles County executive campaign, tracing it directly to a St. Louis city Democrat PAC nervous about his conservative tax-cutting agenda and opposition to a city-county merger. Former Senator Jim Talent breaks down the renewed strikes on Iran after Tehran violated the ceasefire by shooting at ships again, plus a NATO wake-up call with Germany stepping up and Spain facing consequences for freeloading. AI governance expert Jim Malachowski walks through Illinois's tough new AI regulation law and the looming national debate over federal versus state oversight, while Kim raises real concerns about AI-generated fake images of children. Kim on a Whim closes the hour with Texas's investigation into a hospital advertising birth tourism packages in Mexico. Faith, family, freedom, and hard truths from the border to the boardroom.

O'Fallon Ward 3 Councilman Doug Link joins Marc to lay out a proposed 12-month moratorium on new high-density apartment developments of five units or more, a direct response to residents' overdevelopment concerns that drove April's local elections. Link explains that existing applications and smaller developments would be grandfathered in, and details the timeline through planning, zoning, and two council readings toward a possible mid-August vote. He and Marc connect O'Fallon's effort to Bill Igel's countywide push for similar restraint on growth, while Link firmly shuts the door on any future data center proposals in O'Fallon, citing lessons learned from Festus. The conversation closes with a preview of the high-stakes St. Charles County executive race, where sustainable growth and common-sense development are shaping up to be defining issues heading into August. The Marc Cox Morning Show champions responsible local governance and community-driven growth.

The Marc Cox Morning Show closes out its final hour with the audio static mystery resolved and a deep dive into national and local stakes. Marc and Kim recap General Jack Keane's warning that Iran treats the Strait of Hormuz as its own nuclear weapon, then welcome Fox's Chad Pergram for an inside look at the fractured Democrat Senate map after Graham Plattner's exit and the still-murky health situation surrounding Mitch McConnell. O'Fallon Councilman Doug Link brings the fight for responsible growth home, detailing a proposed 12-month apartment moratorium tied directly to the overdevelopment concerns shaping the St. Charles County executive race. The hour, and the show, wrap with a forward look at 2028, crowning JD Vance the Republican frontrunner while reliving some of Kamala Harris's most memorably confusing sound bites. Faith, family, freedom, and hometown common sense carry the broadcast to its finish.

A jam-packed Thursday on The Marc Cox Morning Show tackled everything from national political upheaval to hometown accountability. The morning opened with Graham Plattner's stunning withdrawal from Maine's Senate race, which Marc argued was a calculated Democrat maneuver rather than a surprise, and closed with a full breakdown of the fractured map Democrats now face heading into 2026 and beyond. Local politics took center stage with Bill Igel joining to confront a dark-money smear campaign against his St. Charles County executive run, tracing the attack back to a St. Louis city Democrat PAC nervous about his conservative agenda, while O'Fallon Councilman Doug Link previewed a 12-month moratorium on new apartment development aimed at curbing overdevelopment countywide. Foreign policy loomed large all morning, with former Senator Jim Talent and Fox's Chad Pergram offering sharp analysis on renewed strikes against Iran, the fight to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and a NATO alliance finally stepping up its own defense spending. Tom Ackerman brought hometown pride with a Cardinals recap and a preview of his Congressional testimony to protect AM radio, while AI governance expert Jim Malachowski walked listeners through Illinois's tough new AI regulation law and the coming national debate over federal oversight. Lighter moments filled the gaps, from Kim on a Whim's takes on the decline of gentle parenting and Texas's birth tourism investigation, to a viral restaurant fining unruly kids and a full round of weird headlines in In Other News. Through it all, the show kept faith, family, and freedom front and center, closing with a forward look at a likely JD Vance 2028 run and one more reminder of Kamala Harris's most forgettable moments. The Marc Cox Morning Show delivered another day of unapologetic, common-sense talk for St. Louis and beyond.

With the August 4th primary bearing down, Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe joins the Marc Cox Morning Show to make his case directly to voters. Kehoe blasts the flood of out-of-state liberal money pouring into Missouri to defeat Amendment 4, calling it a fight to keep the state constitution from being bought by coastal special interests, while touting overwhelming grassroots support from Missouri agriculture. He makes an equally passionate pitch for Amendment 5, framing the elimination of Missouri's income tax as the key to reversing population loss and competing with no-tax states like Texas and Tennessee. Kehoe also addresses a listener-driven question on Senate Bill 1002 moving St. Charles County school board elections to November, defends his administration's guardrails on data center growth, and stands firmly behind his budget cuts — insisting Missouri has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. It's a wide-ranging, must-listen conversation for anyone voting this August, delivered with the conservative, common-sense clarity the Marc Cox Morning Show audience trusts. Coming up: Derek Morgan of Heritage joins later this hour, plus Jimmy Phelan.

Marc Cox opens the Wednesday show on fire after the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship ruling — breaking down how Chief Justice John Roberts weaponized his position to pull Amy Coney Barrett across the aisle and deliver a gut punch to conservatives who thought they had a solid majority. Marc makes the case for Justice Alito as Chief Justice and lays out what the Founders actually intended with the 14th Amendment. He corrects the record on his Amendment 5 math from Tuesday — and the corrected numbers make the yes vote even more compelling for working Missouri families. Kim St. Onge joins for Kim on a Whim to take on Seth Rogen's viral childless manifesto and the left's broader cultural assault on family formation, tying it to record-low fertility rates, New York City's socialist rent freeze disaster under Mayor Mamdani, and Hassan Piker's rising influence in the Democratic Party. Then the No Merger Minute lands with bombshell audio of Mayor Cara Spencer revealing she's already been working Illinois and St. Charles County leaders to build a regional merger coalition — and Marc names Dennis Hancock as the only candidate standing between St. Louis County taxpayers and a massive city bailout.

Hour 4 of The Marc Cox Morning Show closes out the show with conviction, laughs, and community heart. Riley Gaines joins live just before a landmark Supreme Court ruling on women's sports, delivering an unflinching message: if you're a man, compete with the men — and revealing the fight for fairness is far from over in blue states across the country. Marc lays out his final, no-spin voter guide breakdown on Amendments 4 and 5, cutting through the lies one last time before early voting closes in. Then Ryan Wiggins brings the wild card of the morning — a CIA whistleblower's bizarre alien-DNA claim — and uses it to make a serious point about a runaway intelligence agency answering to no one. And Marc and Kim wrap things up by welcoming St. Charles County's Corporal Barry Bayless and Lieutenant Eric Feagans to spotlight the Blue Line Family 5K, a heartfelt event supporting the families of the men and women who protect our community.

Former Senator John Lamping joins to confirm it. The Supreme Court drops a historic slate of decisions — from a stunning executive power win to a controversial ballot-counting ruling — and Marc asks the question nobody else will: who's really acting like a tyrant here? White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson delivers a powerful one-year recap of the One Big Beautiful Bill straight from Washington, while Fox's Todd Piro reveals the moment a Democratic Socialist leader openly admitted their goal is communism.

As Marc points out, St. Charles County and the greater St. Louis metro continue to set the standard for supporting law enforcement like nowhere else in the country. This is a feel-good, must-share segment that proves backing the blue isn't just a slogan around here — it's a way of life.

Hour 2 of The Marc Cox Morning Show was wall-to-wall St. Louis — and the country. Marc Cox called out lame duck County Executive Sam Page for holding law enforcement hostage over a budget grudge, forcing officers to choose between making arrests or cutting criminals loose. The St. Louis Morning Brief delivered a stunning lineup: a firefighter with a prior assault record caught defecating in an airport food closet, a brave KFC employee who tackled an armed robber and may lose his job for it, a teen takeover threat in St. Charles County, and a 15-year-old shot dead near the Grove. Sports insider Tom Ackerman joined Marc and Kim in studio to break down the Cardinals' new CEO era under Bill DeWitt III and the Blues' jaw-dropping four first-round pick arsenal heading into the NHL Draft. And In Other News closed the hour with the NCAA's eligibility chaos, a world-record scream, two recovered baby giraffes, and Rod Stewart collapsing on stage at 81 — then finishing the show anyway. Four segments. Zero dull moments. This is The Marc Cox Morning Show.

St. Louis is serving up a full platter of chaos this Thursday morning — and The Marc Cox Morning Show is not looking away. A city firefighter caught defecating in an airport restaurant's food storage closet turns out to have a prior assault record and is somehow still on the payroll. A brave KFC employee tackles an armed robber in the parking lot and now holds his breath waiting to see if he still has a job. St. Charles County is bracing for a social-media-organized teen takeover at a public aquatic center. And a 15-year-old is dead near the Grove — the 21st juvenile shooting victim in St. Louis this year — right before Pride Fest descends on the neighborhood. This is your city. This is your morning brief. Don't miss a word of it.

They came to honor America's warriors — and the Marc Cox Morning Show delivered one of the most powerful Monday mornings in recent memory. Broadcasting live from Whitmore Country Club in St. Charles County for the eighth annual SunTrip Folds of Honor Golf Tournament, Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge spent four hours doing what they do best: honoring the people who deserve it, exposing the people who don't, and giving conservative Missouri exactly what the mainstream media refuses to provide. The morning opened with Marc dismantling the narrative that Iran won anything — a country with no Navy, no Air Force, 85-90% of its missiles destroyed, and its uranium on the negotiating table. While JD Vance worked the room in Switzerland, Democrats like Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker, and Cory Booker rushed to cameras to root for failure — and Marc Cox called every single one of them out. Then Chuck Schumer accidentally admitted the SAVE Act might remove 25 million people from voter rolls, Rosie O'Donnell returned from Ireland to push election cancellation conspiracy theories, and Kamala Harris demanded 13 Supreme Court justices on the Don Lemon show. Kim St. Onge took over Kim on a Whim with a deep dive into the left's war on American history — from the Christopher Columbus statue that vanished from Tower Grove Park to Confederate monuments quietly returning to Baltimore to the 1619 Project sneaking into Missouri classrooms. Then the Marc Cox Morning Show played the audio of Joe Biden proving he had absolutely no idea what Juneteenth was — right before he made it a national holiday. Hans von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow at Advancing American Freedom, broke down the unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court marijuana gun ruling and warned that birthright citizenship and biological men in women's sports decisions could drop as early as this week. Dan Buck brought the number one downloaded song of the weekend — Tom McDonald's "Remember Who You Are" — and made the case that the silent majority is done being shamed into silence. Nicole Murray delivered the business headlines including oil prices dropping as Iran peace talks progressed and SpaceX stumbling after its blockbuster IPO. The emotional heart of the morning came when retired Marine Sergeant Rocky Sickman — who spent 444 days as an Iranian hostage — delivered a chilling warning live on air: Iran's interrogators told him directly during captivity that they simply wait out American presidents. He revealed he didn't learn until he came home that eight American soldiers died trying to rescue him in Operation Eagle Claw, and that every single morning he wakes up earning the day in their memory. Army veteran and Folds of Honor board director Ray Wagner added that his West Point classmate Major Nicholas Dockery had just received the Medal of Honor at the White House. Matt Schwartz, president of the Missouri and Southern Illinois Folds of Honor chapters, revealed that 150 fully qualified scholarship applicants went unfunded this year — and every $5,000 changes a military family's life forever. Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway drove out to Whitmore Country Club and delivered back-to-back bombshells across two segments — a June 25th deadline to Major League Baseball over suppressing Bible verses while forcing Pride logos, a full appeal of the judge's ruling gutting 179 Missouri abortion safety laws, an urgent warning to parents about Lorex baby monitors feeding audio and video to Chinese military-linked servers, the shutdown of kratom-derived 708 that has killed 161 Missourians and targets kids in recovery, and the news that 18,000 of Missouri's estimated 25,000 illegal slot machines have been shut down. Marc's son Brad Cox closed the show with the news that 350 golfers across two courses — Whitmore and Persimmon Woods — are projected to raise $400,000 for Folds of Honor in a single day. Four hours. One location. Countless reasons to be proud to be an American. This is the Marc Cox Morning Show — and ...

You know it's going to be one of those days when the show starts by debating whether cats actually lower your stress or just silently judge you while your blood pressure rises. Then somehow we're celebrating birthdays, discussing skydiving accidents, and reminiscing about the absolutely chaotic way people lived in the '80s and '90s.In this daily podcast, the gang dives into the newest attraction in St. Charles County—a splash pad so slippery that it had to close almost immediately because kids were wiping out like rookie hockey players. Naturally, this leads to a conversation about how we all somehow survived childhood despite playgrounds that seemed specifically designed to launch us into emergency rooms.Then we head down memory lane. Remember when barbershops had Playboy magazines sitting right in the waiting room? Or when parents sent their kids to the store to buy cigarettes? Or when finding a job meant circling classified ads and hoping you didn't accidentally join a fake cologne sales operation? Moon nearly became a parking-lot fragrance entrepreneur, and honestly, that's a career path none of us saw coming.There's also talk about terrifying wrong-way drivers, severe weather rolling through the region, and why everyone apparently knew a guy trying to sell knockoff cologne from a duffel bag in a grocery store parking lot. Plus, we take a look at modern parenting versus the "figure it out and don't die" approach most of us grew up with.And yes, there's ice cream. Because no episode called Ice Cream Showdown & The Perils of Yelp Reviews! would be complete without passionately debating frozen treats and questioning whether online reviews have officially broken everyone's brains.This daily podcast is packed with weird news, nostalgic chaos, hilarious stories, and the kind of conversations that somehow start in one place and end somewhere completely different. In other words, it's exactly what you'd expect from The Rizzuto Show.Thanks for hanging out with your favorite daily podcast.

Hour 4 opens with momentum around Missouri's legislative aftermath, led by reaction from former Francis Howell School Board member Jane Puszkar, who celebrates the shift of St. Charles County school board elections from April to November, arguing it will dramatically increase turnout and weaken low-participation, union-influenced outcomes while forcing both sides to actually compete. Missouri Lt. Gov. David Wasinger follows with a broader look at a politically packed ballot season—income tax reform, abortion-related Amendment 3 timing, initiative petition reform, and redistricting fights—while also touching on storm systems moving across the state and renewed debate over H1B hiring practices at institutions like Mizzou. The tone shifts to sports with Tom Ackerman detailing the viral “tarps off” movement at Busch Stadium, where Cardinals fans turned right field into a coordinated, high-energy section that players embraced, reinforcing a growing connection between a young roster and an engaged crowd, alongside PGA Championship reaction and upcoming regional sports events. The hour closes with a sharp cultural and public safety pivot as fast-moving storms hit the St. Louis area and commentary turns to a controversial New York church posting anti-ICE enforcement signage, framed as part of a broader tension over immigration enforcement and public messaging.

Jane Puszkar reacts to Missouri's move shifting St. Charles County school board elections from April to November, calling it a major structural change that could reshape local education politics by dramatically increasing voter turnout beyond historically low single-digit participation. She argues prior April elections allowed outcomes to be decided by a small fraction of the electorate, often amplifying organized union-backed influence, while November elections will force broader engagement and make results more representative of the county's conservative voter base. The discussion highlights past campaign dynamics, including heavy spending, ground-game organizing, and contested claims about “nonpartisan” school board races, alongside criticism of school board decisions and enforcement of electioneering rules. Puszkar also notes the financial burden of separate April elections for districts like Francis Howell and suggests the change could eventually expand statewide if St. Charles proves successful.

Hour 1 opens with studio technical chaos and light banter as Marc and Kim navigate microphone issues while preparing to return to their main studio, before shifting into Marc's late-night trip to see Triumph's reunion show at Hollywood Casino Amphitheater. The conversation quickly turns political, with discussion of Donald Trump's continued influence inside the GOP, including pressure on Thomas Massie and Senator Bill Cassidy's primary defeat tied to his impeachment vote, alongside broader concerns about Iran escalation, gas prices, and ongoing election integrity investigations tied to 2020. Kim on a Whim explores deeper cultural concerns about declining birth rates, dating app culture, AI relationships, and weakening social structures. The hour closes with a rundown of Missouri's legislative victories, including tax reform efforts, school choice expansion, criminal justice changes, and conservative policy wins framed as a major statewide shift. Hour 2 focuses on severe weather impacting Missouri as storms move toward the St. Louis region, including tornado warnings in Pike County and developing storm lines stretching across the state. The discussion expands into U.S. foreign policy debates over Iran, with arguments over escalation risks versus strategic deterrence, and then shifts to Missouri recovery challenges following tornado damage, including rebuilding delays, insurance friction, and concerns over redevelopment efforts in downtown St. Louis amid crime-related hesitations. The hour also covers cultural debate surrounding a National Mall prayer rally and media criticism over church-state separation arguments, with Marc pushing back on coverage he sees as dismissive of public faith expression. Hour 3 continues live weather coverage as storms intensify across central Missouri while political focus returns to the state legislature's final session outcomes, including ballot measures tied to income tax reform and school board election timing changes designed to increase turnout and reshape local political dynamics. National political developments include GOP infighting and electoral pressure on figures like Thomas Massie, alongside Dan Buck's interview on alleged systemic government fraud, with Minnesota's “Feeding Our Future” scandal cited as an example of large-scale program abuse and institutional failure. The hour concludes with discussion of juvenile crime and a new enforcement push in Washington, D.C., where prosecutors are targeting parents under curfew and delinquency laws following violent teen incidents, sparking broader debate about accountability and urban crime. Hour 4 opens with continued storm tracking across Missouri before moving into a strong reaction segment with former Francis Howell School Board member Jane Puszkar, who praises the shift of St. Charles County school board elections to November as a major turnout game-changer. Missouri Lt. Gov. David Wasinger follows, outlining a packed ballot season featuring income tax proposals, abortion-related Amendment 3 timing decisions, initiative petition reform, and redistricting disputes, while also addressing storm impacts and controversy surrounding H1B hiring practices at state institutions like Mizzou. The hour then pivots to sports with Tom Ackerman, who breaks down the viral “tarps off” movement at Busch Stadium, where Cardinals fans created a coordinated, high-energy section that energized both players and stadium atmosphere, alongside PGA Championship highlights and upcoming regional sports developments.

Hour 1 opens with technical headaches inside the station's temporary studio as Marc and Kim joke through microphone failures while counting down their final day before returning to the renovated main studio. Marc recaps staying out late at Hollywood Casino Amphitheater watching Triumph reunite on stage for the band's first major tour appearance in decades, praising the legendary rock group despite running on barely three hours of sleep. The conversation quickly pivots into national politics as Marc celebrates Donald Trump's aggressive push against Republican critics like Thomas Massie and reacts to Senator Bill Cassidy's primary loss following his impeachment vote against Trump, while also discussing fears over Iran escalation, rising gas prices, and accusations that the media is manufacturing “forever war” narratives. The hour also revisits renewed 2020 election controversy after Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed ongoing investigations into alleged election misconduct in Arizona and Fulton County, Georgia, with Marc cautiously hopeful that long-promised accountability could finally materialize. During Kim on a Whim, the crew dives into America's collapsing birth rate, modern feminism, hookup culture, dating apps, AI-generated relationships, and how technology may be eroding social skills, marriage, and family formation among younger generations. The hour closes with a major breakdown of Missouri's legislative session victories, including movement toward eliminating the state income tax, reforms to school board elections in St. Charles County, initiative petition reform, expanded school choice, criminal justice measures, anti-human trafficking laws, ivermectin access, and several other conservative policy wins that Marc argues signal a dramatically more productive General Assembly.

The “St. Louis Morning Brief” opens with a case in St. Charles County where Maria Cruz Cortez has pleaded guilty to helping an undocumented worker obtain fake immigration documents and Social Security credentials to work at the Golden Apple Buffet, tying into a larger discussion about a September raid that uncovered 44 undocumented individuals living across two homes. Marc argues the case highlights broader issues of illegal immigration enforcement, employer accountability, and labor exploitation, while noting uncertainty about the current status of those detained. The focus then shifts to St. Louis County politics, where Prosecuting Attorney Melissa Price Smith has recused her office from a referral involving County Executive Sam Page over allegations tied to working multiple jobs in violation of county rules. The case is expected to be handled through outside prosecutorial assignment via Katherine Hanaway's office to avoid conflicts of interest. The segment closes on a tragic local story in Florissant involving a three-year-old who fatally shot himself after gaining access to a loaded firearm in a home where the father was reportedly intoxicated, prompting discussion about parental responsibility and gun safety laws. The hour briefly ends with a note that Washington University in St. Louis received a $200 million donation for its new School of Public Health, alongside skepticism from the hosts about oversight and institutional direction in higher education.

In the “St. Louis Morning Brief,” Marc and Kim examine new efforts in St. Charles County to tighten regulations on short-term rentals like Airbnb and VRBO following complaints about parties, fights, overcrowding, and neighborhood disruptions. The discussion covers proposed restrictions on overnight guests, vehicle limits, inspections, and spacing requirements between rental properties, while questioning how widespread the actual problems are and whether the rules could unfairly impact homeowners near major events or attractions. The conversation then shifts to ongoing public safety concerns surrounding MetroLink security and the ongoing legal fight between the St. Louis Police Board and city leadership over police funding and staffing shortages. Marc and Kim discuss how the city has struggled to provide enough officers for Metro patrols, forcing transit officials to rely more heavily on off-duty sheriff's deputies to supplement security. The segment highlights larger frustrations over fragmented law enforcement jurisdiction across the MetroLink system, with Marc arguing that a dedicated transit police force would simplify operations and free city police officers to focus on violent crime elsewhere in St. Louis.

The conversation quickly broadens into political and global developments, including President Trump's upcoming meeting with China's Xi Jinping, shifting U.S. leverage tied to global oil dynamics, and heightened tensions with Iran that Marc suggests could push toward renewed military action if diplomacy fails. The hour then turns to Missouri politics with a discussion on the end of the legislative session, pending ballot initiatives on abortion, income tax elimination, and initiative petition reform, and concerns over voter confusion and campaign spending battles. Local issues follow in the “St. Louis Morning Brief,” focusing on proposed restrictions for short-term rentals in St. Charles County due to complaints about parties and neighborhood disruptions, alongside ongoing MetroLink security staffing shortages that are forcing reliance on sheriff's deputies amid jurisdictional disputes and funding gaps. The hour closes with the “In Other News” segment featuring a mix of cautionary and viral stories, including a woman hospitalized after a poorly vetted Instagram tattoo gone wrong, a 102-year-old woman finally receiving her high school diploma decades after leaving school, a bizarre motorcycle crash in Canada where a bike became suspended from a traffic light, and a lawsuit from Dua Lipa against Samsung over alleged unauthorized use of her likeness in advertising materials.

The show opens in a temporary studio with technical issues and guest-heavy programming, then moves quickly into political controversy surrounding Donald Trump, including renewed claims about deep state resistance, skepticism over past assassination narratives, and criticism of intelligence officials like John Brennan. A major national security thread develops after reporting that a former California mayor pleaded guilty to acting as an illegal Chinese agent, fueling broader discussion on CCP infiltration, immigration policy, AI-generated media, and foreign interference risks inside the United States. International coverage centers on escalating Iran tensions and U.S. diplomatic positioning ahead of high-level talks with China, alongside debate over military readiness and war powers authority. Senator Eric Schmidt argues Iran's capabilities have been significantly weakened and emphasizes preventing nuclear development while avoiding long-term conflict, while also responding to criticism over U.S. defense stockpiles. Domestic political conflict intensifies as reports surface of Virginia lawmakers allegedly considering restructuring the state Supreme Court through retirement-age changes to reshape its composition and influence redistricting rulings, prompting comparisons to court-packing strategies and broader warnings about institutional manipulation. The show expands into Missouri legislative wrap-up issues, including abortion ballot measures, tax reform proposals, and initiative petition battles, while local reporting highlights St. Charles County short-term rental restrictions and MetroLink security staffing shortages. Guest segments include Rachel Campos-Duffy discussing her new book on American patriotism and cultural identity ahead of the 250th anniversary, Luis Valdes defending gun rights and constitutional protections, and Todd Piro addressing crime and judicial frustration. The final hour focuses on public safety and political accountability, including San Francisco police recruitment incentives and a developing St. Louis County Ethics Committee review involving County Executive Sam Page over alleged dual employment, closing on themes of institutional trust, political escalation, and contested control over courts, elections, and public safety policy.
