Dive into the intense, bizarre, and unfiltered world of law enforcement with host Steve Gould on Things Police See. In this episode, Steve sits down with retired Sergeant Betsy Brantner Smith, who spent 29 years policing the relentless Chicago metro area. As one of the pioneering female officers of the early 1980s, Betsy shares the raw reality of breaking into a male-dominated field, navigating systemic hazing, and turning her perspective into a tactical advantage. From the psychological adrenaline dump of her very first rookie homicide scene to a mind-boggling, bizarre medical emergency, Betsy tells it all. She also takes us deep undercover into a high-stakes 1980s cocaine sting where quick, life-or-death thinking was the only thing that saved her and her partner. Now a spokesmen for the National Police Association, Betsy discusses the current state of law enforcement staffing shortages, the flaws in modern recruitment initiatives, and why finding a community that backs the blue is crucial for the next generation of officers.

She's seen it all from behind the badge, and Sgt. Betsy Brantner-Smith is not mincing words. The National Police Association spokesperson joins the Marc Cox Morning Show to connect the dots between St. Louis's pool security crisis, the teen takeover epidemic sweeping the nation, and a generation of kids nobody taught to respect anyone's rights but their own. Then the conversation turns to the Local Law Enforcement Support Act of 2026, why your small-town police department is just as underfunded as Chicago's, and why Congresswoman Ann Wagner deserves credit for stepping up. Plus — the disturbing truth about the White House shooting suspect that every American needs to hear about mental illness, crime, and the system that keeps putting dangerous people back on the street. This is 2A Tuesday on the Marc Cox Morning Show, and Sgt. Betsy Brantner-Smith is pulling no punches.

Betsy Brantner-Smith of the National Police Association delivered a masterclass on why pool takeovers, defunded departments, and unchecked mental illness are a recipe for disaster in every American city. And Kim on a Whim closed the hour with a stomach-turning update — the man Planet Fitness allowed in the women's locker room is a registered child sex offender. The Marc Cox Morning Show goes where others won't, asks what others won't, and delivers the truth that every conservative American deserves to hear.

Trump civil fraud judgement is in and Shaun cannot believe the level of FRAUD the government is placing on Trump. PLUS, Dr. Andre Archie, author of The Virtue of Color Blindness, explains that an entitled mentality and anti-capitalism sentiments are what is driving the country to re-segregate. And Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith, spokesperson for the National Police Association , says that the government is assisting the gangbanging scum and opening our borders to new street gangs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 1 - Mike Opelka in for Rich again. Is winking acceptable? For all the climate hysteria, there really haven't been any bad storms this hurricane season. Is Zeoli's pizza oven the cause of our climate crisis? Formula One racing in Vegas took a hit after a car blew up after race officials did not secure manhole covers to the ground. But they are partnering with Porsche and looking to develop an alternative fuel that isn't electric. All these celebrities are threatening to leave the U.S. if Trump is re-elected. Who cares? Snoop Dogg is giving up “smoke.” This is very much a marketing ploy for something marijuana knowing Snoop Daniel Turner, Director of Power the Future, joins the show to give us a breakdown of what actually happened at APEC this past week and the climate policies that will be adopted as a result of this meeting. The climate change system works the same as communism because the elite and powerful don't have to play the same rules as everybody else. Did China have to give up anything? No, Biden took all the blame for the “climate crisis” and let China off the hook. 23 of 25 of the most polluted cities in the world belong to China, while the other two are India's, so why are we taking all the blame and being the victim? Hour 2 - Kaitlyn Jenner is back in the news. Why? Well, she used a word online that is now frowned upon. But she spelled it wrong and the internet is letting her know. Michael Rapoport is in the news as well for saying he might vote for Donald Trump. OOOOOOOOOOOOOH Look at me! Where do we stand on self-checkout if you have over 20 items? Walmart and Costco are removing their self-scanners over backlash? Huh? Self Checkout discussion is hot as the phones blow up over the issue.  Target has rolled out Pride Santa and LGBTQ nutcrackers, just continuing to pander. Why? Santa is already for everybody on the Nice List! Anheuser Busch has fired another marketing executive after they still have not recovered from the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco. Teasing the coming hour. Hour 3: Drive @ 5 - Sergeant Betsy Smith of the National Police Association joins us to break down the history of the Thin Blue Line, the banning of it in Springfield Township and how that came to be, and other attack against the symbol across the nation. What will come of that? More on Sergeant Smith's background as well. The Mainstream Media is panicking as they have a floundering candidate with an even worse one waiting in the wings, so they have no choice but to turn up the hateful rhetoric. So Johnathan Karl is doing his part by releasing a book that has the sole intention of swaying voters away from Trump in 2024.  The Philadelphia Marathon will take place this weekend with a new non-binary category. How do you qualify for that? Mike is calling BS on CNN as they go after him ahead of the election next year. One of his former staffers says he skipped an evangelical campaign event in Iowa, but have they forgotten he had sister's funeral? Which Presidents have had encounters with UFOs?  Hour 4 - The Zeoli Show in-house economist Dr. EJ Antoni joins us to end the show and details how he's using the White House's own numbers to point out how poorly they handled the economy and the continued gaslighting of citizens that things aren't that bad. Terrible energy policies have crippled us but instead we bend the knee to foreign adversaries to pump more oil for us instead of doing it ourselves for cheaper. What is the ‘Death Cross'? Health insurance costs have “dropped” 35% over the last year? No way, find somebody who had their costs dropped at all this year. Donald Trump caused an uproar when he came to a UFC event at Madison Square Garden. Wrapping up early for Penn State basketball.
