Kim and Ethan weigh in on the lack of accountability before pivoting to St. Louis' wild July 4th chaos and Trump's quiet legislative win. In a raw Kim on a Whim, Kim shares how illegal immigration personally wrecked her home sale — twice — exposing loopholes abused by investment firms and shielded by fair housing laws. The team then tackles Missouri's gutting of abortion safety standards by Judge Jerry Zhang and the latest federal move to protect Planned Parenthood — a warning shot to conservatives ahead of 2026.

Marc returns from vacation fired up and focused—starting with the tragic Texas floods and slamming the left for politicizing the deaths of Christian campers. He praises FEMA's fast response and calls for unity amid disaster. As the hour rolls on, he dives into the school choice debate, praising Florida's voucher system while exposing the red tape and union blockades keeping Missouri families trapped in failing schools. In a patriotic second segment, Marc reflects on a powerful 4th of July moment in Myrtle Beach, taking aim at anti-American rhetoric and mocking Democrats floating Kamala or Pete for 2024. Then, on 2A Tuesday, Mark Walters joins to explain the messy status of suppressor and short-barreled rifle rules in the “Big Beautiful Bill.” They break down Austria's alarming gun grab after a mass shooting and why U.S. activists are watching—and plotting. Marc closes with Tennessee's bold anti-bullying law that could yank teen licenses for cyberbullying. Is it a smart move or government overreach? The team debates.

In this eye-opening Kim on a Whim, Kim shares how illegal immigration personally derailed her home sale — twice. What began as a standard property deal turned chaotic when the buyer, an illegal immigrant, was suddenly detained and deported. The fallout led to emotional frustration, financial losses, and legal roadblocks thanks to fair housing laws that prevented vetting. Marc and Kim dive into how investment companies exploit loopholes to skirt responsibility while burdening everyday Americans. It's a raw, real look at how federal policies and woke judges continue to hurt law-abiding citizens — and why reforms are desperately needed.

Former Missouri State Senator John Lamping joined the Marc Cox Morning Show to unpack the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill," calling it the best Republicans could achieve under the current congressional makeup. Lamping explains how the bill could reduce the deficit — if economic growth hits 3% — and how Medicaid funding changes may soon squeeze Missouri's budget. He also weighs in on Missouri's abortion battleground, blasting the court ruling that temporarily reopens Planned Parenthood clinics and warning about the chaos of legislating by ballot initiative. Lamping supports outlawing abortion with a 50%+1 threshold and raising that threshold immediately afterward to prevent future progressive ballot victories. The segment offers a no-nonsense look at GOP strategy and what's next for Missouri.

In this lively “In Other News” segment, the team reacts to Florida's wild python hunting rules — no guns, just tongs, bags, and a screwdriver for humane kills — all for a shot at $10K. Then they celebrate TSA's move to phase out the shoe removal rule at major airports. The crew also dives into the sky-high cost of being a sports fan in cities like New York, with some spending nearly $5,000 annually on tickets, jerseys, and streaming. Plus, Prime Day confessions and a live on-air moment when Marc's wife calls looking for her missing laptop charger — which he might have borrowed.

On this 2A Tuesday, Marc welcomes Mark Walters of Armed American Radio to break down the latest developments in the “Big Beautiful Bill” affecting gun owners. Walters explains the confusing journey of suppressor and short-barreled rifle deregulation—how the tax is being repealed, but federal registration still stands, pending court challenges and legislative action. They also examine Austria's push for gun confiscation after a mass shooting, and why it should alarm Americans. Walters warns U.S. gun control advocates are watching closely, using international restrictions as a blueprint. The conversation closes with a bold idea: imagine Trump wooing Glock HQ from Austria to Georgia. Plus, a surprise twist—should teen bullies lose their driver's licenses?

Marc returns fired up, blasting the political exploitation of the Texas flood tragedy—from Rosie O'Donnell's unhinged Trump blame to racist hot takes the media won't touch. He breaks down the ambush of an ICE officer and slams Democrats like AOC and Ilhan Omar for fueling violence against law enforcement. In a deep dive on Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” Marc, Wiggins, and Kim uncover major wins: border wall progress, Planned Parenthood defunding, American energy dominance, HSA and child tax reforms, and factory incentives that put America First. Then they expose an outrageous truth: the U.S. still values its gold at just $42/oz—ignoring over $750 billion in real wealth. Is the gold even in Fort Knox? And who's really running in 2028? Expect fireworks and blunt truth.

Marc returns from vacation with fire in his belly and sand in his shoes, diving straight into broken promises on the Epstein client list and calling out elite protection across political lines. Kim's personal story on how illegal immigration derailed her home sale hits hard, exposing federal failures hitting everyday Americans. Marc also torches the chaos in St. Louis on July 4th, the radical abortion rulings from activist judges in Missouri, and the DOJ's disturbing silence on lawlessness. From calling out Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino on their Epstein backpedaling, to the unfairness of a transgender cyclist dominating women's events, the crew doesn't hold back. Former Senator John Lamping joins to break down Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” Missouri's abortion fight, and the need for tougher ballot initiative rules. Plus, TSA ends the shoe rule, Florida's python hunting madness, and sports fans drowning in costs. Marc also spotlights school choice momentum, rips teacher unions, and makes bold 2024 predictions—including a JD Vance–Kristi Noem ticket. On 2A Tuesday, Mark Walters breaks down suppressor deregulation, Austria's gun grab, and why American gun owners must stay alert.
