The Marc Cox Morning Show's St. Louis Morning Brief is packed this morning and every story hits close to home. The media is still calling an illegal Nicaraguan national a "Collinsville man" — Marc sets the record straight and explains exactly why Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski is stirring the pot and what she's really after. Then, Francis Howell School District handed a superintendent $250,000 to walk away before he worked a single day — and the vetting firm they paid to prevent exactly this didn't even bother to Google the guy. And the MLK Bridge that's been connecting Missouri and Illinois since 1951 is deteriorating fast, with a $629 million price tag and absolutely no plan to pay for it. Local news that actually matters, delivered straight — only on The Marc Cox Morning Show. Don't miss a word.

The first hour of June hits like a thunderstorm — and Marc Cox brought the lightning. Hour one opens with a bombshell exposé of a coordinated Democrat scheme to smear ICE detention facilities across the country, from New Jersey to rural Ste. Genevieve, Missouri — complete with fabricated allegations of maggot-infested food and neglected pregnant women. You'll hear directly from Sheriff Gary Stoltzer as he dismantles every lie Wesley Bell and Nikki Budzinski told the cameras, lie by lie, with 25 years of federal inspections backing him up. Then Kim takes the wheel on a whim, making the case that the family dinner table might be the most radical — and most necessary — act of resistance left in America, with a side of 90s nostalgia and a real conversation about Trump accounts and the future of the American family. The hour closes with Marc calling out the orchestrated celebrity boycott of America's own 250th birthday party, and the breathtaking hypocrisy of artists who performed for every Democrat on the planet but suddenly found their conscience when it came to celebrating the United States of America. If you missed hour one of the Marc Cox Morning Show, you missed the first shot across the bow — and it landed.

Illinois Democratic Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski is criticizing a plan by President Donald Trump to send National Guard troops to Chicago to fight crime. On the latest episode of the Politically Speaking podcast, Budzinski said Trump's threats to send troops under the guise of fighting crime is a distraction from the president's woes. “I think that this is a manufactured crisis by this administration, I would argue, perhaps to distract from political issues like Jeffrey Epstein or the fact that he made a commitment also on day one to reduce the costs of groceries, and he's failed to do that,” she said.

Nikki Budzinski is a candidate who keeps her head low but votes in lock step with any Democrat policy. Joshua Loyd wants to change that.

Illinois U.S. Rep. Nikki Budzinski, D-Springfield, said she's not taking anything for granted in her first reelection bid this November. “We're working really hard throughout the district to tell the story of the work that we've been doing in this first term and making the case for the work that I want to continue to be doing,” Budzinski said on the latest episode of the Politically Speaking podcast. While Illinois' 13th Congressional District could be a swing district, stretching from a majority of the Metro East to Springfield and Urbana-Champaign, electoral experts have it rated as a safe or solid Democratic seat this election cycle.

Joshua Loyd joins Megan Lynch discussing his campaign for Congress in Southern Illinois.

U.S. representative for Illinois's 13th congressional district Nikki Budzinski sits-down with Megan Lynch for an interview covering her opposition to Nippon Steel's acquisition of US Steel; investment in storm-water management in the Metro-East; & the high costs of prescription drugs.

On paper, Illinois' 13th Congressional District could be winnable for a Republican, but it will be an uphill battle for Joshua Loyd, who's hoping to unseat incumbent Nikki Budzinski in November. The biggest factor working against Loyd, R-Virden, is cash. At the end of the second quarter, Budzinski, D-Springfield, held a 123 to 1 fundraising advantage over her GOP challenger in the race to represent the district which stretches from the Metro East to Urbana-Champaign. “I'm not concerned at all with the finances because I'm actually out there talking with individuals,” Loyd said on the latest episode of the Politically Speaking podcast. “This is not necessarily a money game. People always say it's about the money. No, it's about being analytical, understanding where to put your effort.”
