When Mike Bush came to St. Louis in 1985, he thought it would be a stop on the way to working in his hometown of Chicago. Instead, St. Louis became home, and Bush spent the next 41 years at KSDK Channel 5. He started in sports coverage, but spent most of his career as a news anchor. Along the way, he found a niche in telling positive stories about people making a difference though his “Making A Difference” segments and as host of the Musial Awards. Nearly two weeks into his retirement, Bush shares reflections and highlights from his career — and discusses what's next.

Hour One of The Marc Cox Morning Show delivers it all — St. Louis pride, hard news, and unapologetic conservative common sense. Marc and Kim open celebrating Cardinals rookie Jordan Walker's stunning Home Run Derby win before turning to the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham and South Carolina's smooth, no-drama succession plan, a sharp contrast to Illinois' Blagojevich-Pritzker corruption saga. St. Louis Congresswoman Cori Bush takes center stage as KSDK's Mark Maxwell grills her on dark money from tornado relief donations — and she has no real answer. Kim on a Whim exposes the hypocrisy of cash bail "racism" claims through unscripted New York street interviews, while James Carville turns on his own party's socialist wing. The hour wraps with a celebration of Scott Jennings' new two-hour slot on KTRS and a preview of live war coverage from Tel Aviv. Faith, family, freedom, and St. Louis pride — that's the Marc Cox Morning Show standard, hour after hour.

The show keeps on rolling in hour two as Matt Pauley talks with Battlehawks Defensive Coordinator Corey Chamblin, KSDK Sports Director Frank Cusumano, and then wraps up with our weekly Building Community feature with Greg Damon, presented by Busey Bank!

Hour 2 opens with reaction to fans camping overnight outside Enterprise Center for a concert by Bring Me the Horizon, sparking debate over fan culture, safety downtown, and rising ticket prices for live events. The discussion quickly pivots to international politics, with Marc arguing President Trump holds strategic leverage over Iran and China amid tensions tied to the Strait of Hormuz, and criticizing Iran's rejected proposal as weak bargaining from a collapsing economy. The hour's political focus intensifies with Marc condemning comments from Mark Kelly regarding U.S. munitions, while also highlighting remarks from Erika Kirk at Hillsdale College on family roles. A major segment explores nationwide childcare protests, with Marc arguing “Day Without Childcare” events are politically driven efforts tied to socialist-leaning policy goals, while Kim acknowledges the financial strain childcare places on families. The show then shifts into local St. Louis politics and media, including speculation about broadcaster Steve Savard returning to a larger role at KSDK and ongoing concerns about crime in Dutchtown, where residents are proposing shared security camera networks. The hour concludes with financial reporting from Nicole Murray covering mixed markets, AI-driven stock gains in companies like Alphabet, retail strategy shifts at Target, and broader economic anxiety reflected in “Sunday Scaries” workplace stress trends.

In the “St. Louis Morning Brief,” Marc and Kim react to multiple childcare centers across the St. Louis region participating in the “Day Without Childcare” protest movement demanding increased public funding, higher wages, and expanded childcare support programs. Marc sharply criticizes the movement as politically driven activism tied to broader progressive efforts for universal childcare, while Kim argues parents should ultimately remain financially responsible for their own childcare decisions despite acknowledging how expensive daycare has become. The conversation also highlights frustration over daycare shutdowns disrupting working families while organizers host rooftop fundraising events and community gatherings. Later in the segment, Marc discusses the return of veteran St. Louis broadcaster Steve Savard to KSDK amid speculation he could eventually replace longtime anchor Mike Bush. The segment closes with discussion about rising crime concerns in the Dutchtown neighborhood and new community-led safety ideas including shared residential camera networks to help police investigate crimes more efficiently, sparking debate about balancing neighborhood security with personal privacy.
