Ryan Wiggins joins Ryan Wrecker and Kim St. Onge to discuss reports of ongoing Department of Justice investigations connected to Gavin Newsom and his administration. The conversation examines Newsom's claims of political targeting, reports that the probes may involve broader fraud allegations, and what potential legal or political fallout could mean for California's political leadership. Wiggins also explores comparisons to fraud investigations in other states, questions surrounding government oversight, and whether these cases point to larger systemic issues involving public funds and political accountability. The discussion wraps up with speculation about where the investigations could lead, the potential impact on future political campaigns, and why corruption allegations continue to resonate with voters across the country.

In Hour 3, Todd Piro joins Ryan Wrecker and Kim St. Onge to discuss the FBI's foiled terror plot targeting a major America 250 celebration, security concerns surrounding high-profile events, border security, and the challenge of balancing freedom with public safety. Later, Two-Way Tuesday continues with Mark Walters, who weighs in on the arrest of James Harden in Texas, Second Amendment issues, the Supreme Court's decision not to hear a major New York gun law challenge, and concerns about escalating political violence in America.

Ryan Wrecker joins Kim St. Onge for a packed edition of The Marc Cox Morning Show. The duo breaks down the new U.S.-Iran agreement announced at the G7, questions surrounding enforcement and reconstruction funding, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, and a deadly B-52 crash in California.

Todd Piro joins Ryan Wrecker and Kim St. Onge for a conversation that starts with a playful introduction and quickly turns to the FBI's foiled terror plot targeting the America 250 celebration and a proposed UFC event at the White House. Todd discusses concerns about the sophistication of the alleged plot, the challenge of preventing future attacks, and the balance between maintaining security and preserving everyday American life.

During this week's Two-Way Tuesday, Mark Walters joins Ryan Wrecker and Kim St. Onge to discuss the arrest of NBA star James Harden in Texas over an alleged firearms violation. The conversation examines permitless carry laws, police discretion, and how even gun-friendly states can create legal pitfalls for lawful gun owners. Walters also reacts to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision not to hear a challenge to New York's restrictive gun laws, expressing frustration with the Court's handling of major Second Amendment cases. The discussion then turns to the FBI's foiling of an alleged drone attack and mass shooting plot, concerns about escalating political violence, and the increasingly hostile political climate surrounding President Donald Trump.

In Hour 2, Ryan Wrecker and Kim St. Onge continue the conversation about teen takeovers and youth crime, examining whether stronger prosecution, tougher consequences, or greater parental accountability are needed to address the growing problem. The discussion explores how communities can respond to increasingly disruptive incidents and what solutions listeners believe would be most effective. The pair also take a closer look at Amendment 5 and Missouri's effort to eliminate the state income tax. They break down what the proposal would do, the arguments being made by supporters and opponents, and what the measure could mean for workers, taxpayers, and the state's economic future. Later, Kim and Ryan discuss a worker who received a religious exemption from using artificial intelligence on the job, sparking a broader debate about AI in the workplace, employee rights, and how businesses may handle similar requests as the technology becomes more common.

Former Missouri Senator John Lamping joins Ryan Wrecker and Kim St. Onge to discuss the growing problem of teen takeovers, youth crime, and the role prosecutors play in enforcing the law. Lamping explains why strong laws alone are not enough without prosecutors willing to pursue charges and weighs in on whether parents should face consequences when minors are involved in disruptive incidents. The conversation also turns to Amendment 5 and Missouri's effort to move toward eliminating the state income tax. Lamping discusses the political hurdles facing the proposal, arguments from supporters and opponents, the economic advantages of no-income-tax states, and why Governor Mike Kehoe continues to champion the issue as part of Missouri's long-term economic strategy.

In Hour 1, Ryan Wrecker and Kim St. Onge discuss the newly announced U.S.-Iran agreement at the G7, questions about enforcement, reconstruction funding, and whether Iran can be trusted to uphold the deal. They also cover the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, a deadly B-52 crash in California, and reaction from lawmakers demanding more details. Locally, the pair break down the massive downtown St. Louis sinkhole that forced the closure of I-44, concerns over aging infrastructure, and a court ruling that upholds Missouri's law returning control of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department to the state. Plus, a "Kim on a Whim" discussion on whether The Office could be made today, media double standards, political hypocrisy, teen takeovers downtown, and why World Cup visitors are falling in love with uniquely American experiences like Buc-ee's, Walmart, and free refills.

Dan Buck and Kim St. Onge fill in on the Marc Cox Morning Show, discussing the reported U.S.-Iran peace agreement, falling oil prices, the G7 Summit, UFC Freedom 250 at the White House, and America 250 celebrations.

The Marc Cox Morning Show kicks off a packed Friday with Dan Buck and Kim St. Onge holding down the fort — and they waste no time. A historic Iran peace deal may be signed this weekend, JD Vance is already in the air, and oil prices are cratering toward the 70s. Trump is delivering on a scale the Left never imagined and they have no answer for it. Back home, New York Knicks fans are terrorizing streets, beating Spurs fans, and assaulting cops — two nights of riots before they've even won anything — and Mayor Adams couldn't care less. Even Stephen A. Smith had enough and went on air to say what every conservative already knew: you touch a cop, all bets are off. And Kim St. Onge drops a bombshell — Virginia's Clean Slate Law is about to seal over 100,000 criminal records, blocking landlords and employers from knowing the truth about who they're hiring or housing. Hour 1 of the Marc Cox Morning Show is the hour that proves common sense isn't dead — it just moved to conservative radio.

Marc Cox took the day off — but the Marc Cox Morning Show never sleeps. Dan Buck and Kim St. Onge delivered four hours of news, truth, and conservative fire that the mainstream media won't touch. A historic Iran peace deal is on the brink of being signed this weekend — JD Vance is already in the air, oil is crashing toward $80, and Democrats have no answer for a president who ended the biggest nuclear threat on earth in 104 days. New York City descended into mob violence two nights running — Spurs fans beaten, a taxi driver nearly killed, and cops punched on camera while the Mondaire Jones administration keeps police handcuffed. Even Stephen A. Smith drew the line. Virginia's Clean Slate Law is about to hide 100,000 criminal records from landlords and employers. St. Louis County Executive Sam Page faces his day of reckoning in court. Heritage Foundation's Brent Sadler explains exactly why the IRGC is sabotaging the peace deal. Rep. Eric Burlison drops truth bombs on FISA, digital currency, and the surveillance state. Defending Education's Rhyen Staley exposes the National PTA as a woke indoctrination machine operating inside your child's school right now. And a CIA whistleblower blows the lid off Anthony Fauci's intentional COVID cover-up — a crime against humanity that a presidential pardon may not be able to bury forever. This is the Marc Cox Morning Show — and today was one for the books.

The Marc Cox Morning Show closes out the week with an Hour 4 that delivers gut punch after gut punch. St. Louis County Councilman Dennis Hancock breaks down exactly what happens if Sam Page finally takes the off-ramp — and why his ego may drive him straight into a full felony trial instead. Defending Education's Rhyen Staley exposes the National PTA as a far-left political machine pushing Critical Consciousness, DEI officers, and woke ideology into your child's classroom — and it's happening in conservative school districts too. Then the biggest bombshell of the morning: a CIA whistleblower tells the Senate that Anthony Fauci intentionally covered up the COVID lab leak, changed rules to fund gain-of-function research in Wuhan, and attended a 2019 war game that played out the pandemic almost word for word before it happened. He got pardoned — but Dan Buck and Kim St. Onge aren't letting him off the hook. The Marc Cox Morning Show — four hours of truth, zero apologies.

Hour 3 of the Marc Cox Morning Show fired on all cylinders. Dan Buck and Kim St. Onge refuse to let conservatives be silenced — whether it's a neighbor trying to intimidate you over a Trump flag or the radical Left trying to rewrite the Carmelo Anthony verdict. Heritage Foundation Senior Research Fellow Brent Sadler breaks down exactly why the IRGC is sabotaging the Iran peace deal and why verification of nuclear disarmament is the hardest part of any agreement with Tehran. Missouri's Rep. Eric Burlison drops truth bombs on the Capital Beat — FISA has been shredding your Fourth Amendment rights for years, a central bank digital currency would give government total control over your life, and Trump is walking away from USMCA because he always comes back with a better deal. And Kim on a Whim closes it out — Carmelo Anthony is going to prison where he belongs, and his family's racism narrative is built on lies. The Marc Cox Morning Show — three hours in and still pulling no punches.

You thought your Wednesday morning commute was rough — try sharing St. Louis County soil with a regenerating, toxin-releasing, hammerhead shark-headed worm straight out of a horror movie. Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge have the full stomach-turning story, plus the one rule you absolutely cannot break when you find one in your yard. Then the good news — St. Louis County has a new police chief, Juan Cox (no relation), and early signs suggest he's the real deal with a track record of actually lowering crime. And just when you thought the stories couldn't get wilder, a St. John man strangled his coworker over a promotion and told police he would have killed her if the manager hadn't walked in. It's the St. Louis Morning Brief on the Marc Cox Morning Show — your one-stop briefing for everything happening in your backyard, and apparently, under it too.

They changed the name — but they didn't change the game. Heritage Foundation's Jonathan Butcher joins Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge to blow the lid off what's really happening on America's college campuses, and it's worse than any parent wants to hear. DEI didn't disappear — it just rebranded as "belonging," and the racial preferences in admissions, hiring, and promotion are still running full speed. Meanwhile, tuition keeps skyrocketing because Washington keeps handing out student loans, lazy rivers get built at LSU, and kids graduate with degrees in made-up studies programs and can't find a job. Butcher's new book features an all-star conservative lineup — Kevin Roberts, Chris Rufo, Larry Arnn of Hillsdale — and it makes the case that the four-year degree racket is collapsing under its own weight. Trade schools are booming, AI isn't replacing your plumber, and the Marc Cox Morning Show is asking the questions Missouri's Republican supermajority should have been asking years ago. You need to hear this before you write that next tuition check.

The man who wrote the book on election integrity is fired up — and he's not mincing words. Former Virginia Attorney General and Election Transparency Initiative National Chair Ken Cuccinelli joins Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge with a battle plan that John Thune doesn't want to hear: attach the SAVE Act to FISA and force every senator to go on record in front of the 90% of Americans who support voter ID. Thune says it can't be done — Cuccinelli says that's a lie, and he explains exactly how the House Freedom Caucus can make it happen. Then the conversation turns to California, where a 24,000 ballot drop somehow produced zero votes for one major candidate, a homeless woman was paid two dollars to sign a ballot, and the state refuses to share its voter rolls with anyone. Cuccinelli calls it exactly what it is — a system built to absorb cheating. If you care about free and fair elections, this is the most important conversation happening in conservative media today. Don't miss it on the Marc Cox Morning Show.

If your face hurts from watching the news this week, Jimmy Failla knows exactly how you feel — and he's got the jokes and the receipts to prove it. The Fox Across America host joins Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge for the most entertaining and brutally honest seven minutes in conservative radio this Wednesday. Graham Plattner had a Nazi tattoo for 20 years, claimed he didn't know what it was — then won the Maine Democrat primary and gave a redemption speech the very next night. Jimmy compares it perfectly to OJ's "If I Did It" book. Then California's ramen lady keeps pulling 40% of every mail-in ballot drop while Spencer Pratt gets zero — and Jimmy already fired off the tweet of the year about her voters not being alive to see her comeback. Pete Hegseth got grilled for a Christian tattoo while Maine Democrats just nominated a Nazi. The hypocrisy is breathtaking — and Jimmy Failla is the only man in media funny enough to make you laugh through the outrage. Don't miss a second of it on the Marc Cox Morning Show.

On the hottest Wednesday of the year — inside and outside the studio — Marc Cox, Kim St. Onge, and the best guest lineup in conservative radio delivered four hours of truth that the mainstream media, the Missouri establishment, and the Washington good-old-boy network desperately wish you hadn't heard. America struck Iran overnight, a helicopter went down, and two pilots were pulled from the ocean by an unmanned drone boat in one of the most remarkable military stories of the year. Carmelo Anthony got 35 years while his family pocketed $650,000 from strangers online. Maine Democrats nominated a man with a Nazi tattoo he conveniently forgot about for 20 years. California kept counting votes — and somehow one candidate received zero out of 24,000 consecutive ballots. John Thune admitted on camera he won't even try to pass the Save America Act. Ken Cuccinelli had the battle plan Thune doesn't want the House to hear. Jonathan Butcher exposed DEI's rebranding game on America's college campuses. Taylor Riggs confirmed inflation is at a three-year high and Social Security hits the wall in 2032. Kim St. Onge made the pro-life case that a YouTuber who monetized his pregnant wife's journey had no right to call himself a victim after aborting his Down syndrome son at 20 weeks. And Jimmy Failla made you laugh so hard at the absurdity of it all that you almost forgot how mad you should be. Almost. This is the Marc Cox Morning Show — the four hours of conservative truth that St. Louis, Missouri, and America can't afford to miss. See you Thursday at 5AM.

From the first segment to the last, the Marc Cox Morning Show delivered four hours of the unfiltered truth that conservative St. Louis counts on every single morning. The show opened with a tribute to Guns N' Hoses legend Steve Hawley, whose decade-long mission delivered a million dollars a year to Backstoppers and the families of fallen first responders. Kim St. Onge returned from time off to reclaim her chair — and brought the energy that earned the show a first-place Missouri Broadcasters Award, replaying her powerful interview with Diane Foley, whose son James was beheaded by ISIS and who turned that grief into a national mission to bring wrongfully detained Americans home. The morning's biggest story ran all four hours: a California ballot harvesting machine so sophisticated and so legal that a socialist polling at 21% somehow ended election night in second place — and Marc Cox explained exactly how it works and why nobody in mainstream media will say it plainly. At home in St. Louis, a speaker in the mayor's office called on a Pride Month crowd to "pick up a brick" — a direct reference to hurling projectiles at police — while Mayor Kara Spencer stood smiling right behind him. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins dropped bombshell food stamp fraud numbers, blue states are suing to keep their records buried, and the Festus city council voted to simply ignore thousands of recall petition signatures. On 2A Tuesday, Mark Walters torched James Tallarico's phony Second Amendment conversion and laid out why the Supreme Court is about to end Glock bans in blue states once and for all. Todd Piro called the Trump MSG booing exactly what it was, Ryan Wiggins broke down a 2028 Democrat field that has Kamala Harris still leading at 27%, and Bob and Tammy Kershaw reminded every listener near retirement that a structured income plan isn't optional — it's essential. Kim on a Whim tackled wedding seat sales and America's tipping revolt, and In Other News brought grizzly bear attacks, a McDonald's worker fighting for his life, and Diane Keaton's estate going to the highest bidder. Four hours. Zero apologies. All Marc Cox.

Hour 3 of the Marc Cox Morning Show brings the heat from every direction. The hour opens with HelloFresh's jaw-dropping Pride Month post that left the morning crew speechless — complete with a discount code that proved corporate America still hasn't learned a thing from Bud Light and Target. Fox & Friends First host Todd Piro drops in to call the Trump MSG booing exactly what it was, torch Spike Lee's glaring double standard, and break down the Maine primary that every conservative should be watching today. Then Mark Walters of Armed American Radio takes a blowtorch to James Tallarico's phony Second Amendment conversion on 2A Tuesday — explaining why a man who thinks no right is absolute has no business running for Senate in Texas, and why the Supreme Court is about to end Glock bans in blue states once and for all. Kim St. Onge closes the hour with a Kim on a Whim that hits home for every American who's ever been guilt-tripped into tipping at a kiosk — and the World Cup news that could make it even worse this summer.

Hour 2 of the Marc Cox Morning Show delivers the stories that matter most to conservative St. Louis — and pulls no punches. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins drops staggering numbers on food stamp fraud: 200,000 dead people collecting benefits, half a million double-dipping, and blue states stonewalling every attempt at accountability. The St. Louis Morning Brief brings the chaos home — a Sky Zone brawl that spilled into Walmart with rocks flying at police, a 12-year-old with a kitchen knife in an Uber, the Festus city council ignoring thousands of recall petition signatures, and the Missouri income tax repeal headed to August voters. Then Kim St. Onge takes center stage with the Missouri Broadcasters Award-winning interview — Diane Foley, mother of slain journalist James Foley, on her one-woman mission to bring wrongfully detained Americans home. And In Other News closes the hour with grizzly bear attacks, a McDonald's worker fighting for his life, and Diane Keaton's estate going to the highest bidder. Two hours down, two to go — and it only gets better.

Hour 1 of the Marc Cox Morning Show comes out swinging and never lets up. The hour opens on a bittersweet note — honoring St. Louis legend Steve Hawley, the heartbeat of Guns N' Hoses and a man who helped deliver a million dollars a year to the families of fallen first responders. Then it's straight into the fire: a California ballot dump that defies every law of political gravity, a Democrat Socialist openly uncomfortable with white men in his own party, and a speaker in the St. Louis mayor's office casually calling on a crowd to pick up a brick — a direct reference to hurling projectiles at police — while Mayor Kara Spencer stood smiling right behind him. Kim St. Onge makes her triumphant return and brings Kim on a Whim back with a bang, tackling the most absurd wedding trend of 2026. And to close it out, Marc plays the tape on Trump's night at Madison Square Garden and asks why Spike Lee thinks he's the bouncer at a Knicks game. It's an hour of truth, humor, and zero apologies — exactly what conservative St. Louis wakes up to every morning.

Weddings are already bleeding your wallet dry — and now someone thinks the solution is selling tickets to randos off the internet. Kim St. Onge is back and in rare form, breaking down the wildest new wedding trend nobody asked for: a website called Not A Wedding Crasher where couples sell empty seats to complete strangers just to recoup their losses. It sounds like a bad rom-com, but it's completely real — application process, social media screening, and all. Marc thinks it's the dumbest idea he's ever heard. Kim's not so sure. The debate gets heated, hilarious, and surprisingly relatable for anyone who's ever written a check for a wedding or shown up to one not knowing a soul. You'll be texting your spouse about this one before the segment is even over — don't miss it.

Waarom is Nederland nog altijd niet geëmancipeerd? Sander stelt die vraag in zijn columns, Nina onderzoekt haar in boeken. Ze streven in essentie naar hetzelfde, maar hoe je daar komt verschillen ze behoorlijk in. Ze schuift omdat ze het boek schreef Ongebonden: over het vrouwelijke ideaalbeeld en de manier waarop culturele normen vrouwen al generaties lang vormen en begrenzen. Hoe kijken Sander en Jaap naar het beeld van die ideale vrouw Waar stokt de emancipatie van vrouwen vandaag de dag? En kun je je losmaken van een ideaalbeeld dat zo diep verankerd zit in onze geschiedenis?

In “Kim on a Whim,” Kim St. Onge and Dan Buck dive into the growing world of manufactured internet popularity, breaking down how viral trends, influencer fame, political engagement, and even music success are increasingly driven by coordinated advertising disguised as organic content. The segment centers around a company called Floodify, allegedly built to flood social media platforms with paid engagement through networks of fake or semi-active accounts designed to artificially boost artists, influencers, and political campaigns. Kim explains how users are manipulated into believing certain songs, personalities, or political figures are organically exploding online when much of the activity may actually be purchased amplification. The conversation expands into skepticism surrounding social media algorithms, bot-style engagement, AI-generated interaction, influencer marketing, and viral political content, with references to Justin Bieber, Eric Adams, conservative influencers, and internet-driven political campaigns. The segment closes with frustration over how difficult it has become to distinguish authentic public interest from coordinated digital manipulation, especially as AI, algorithmic feeds, and monetized engagement increasingly dominate online culture.

Hour 1 opens with Dan Buck, Kim St. Onge, and Ethan Bright filling in for Marc Cox and immediately diving into culture war flashpoints surrounding women's sports, abortion politics, and conservative activism following a Missouri Right to Life event featuring Riley Gaines. The conversation highlights Gaines' warning against conservative complacency while also celebrating Jordy Bahl as an example of traditional female athletic leadership in modern sports culture.

Dan Buck, Kim St. Onge, and Ethan Bright are joined by Ross Marchand, executive director of the Taxpayer Protection Alliance, for a deep dive into rising auto insurance premiums and the role of litigation tied to ride-sharing services. The discussion centers on what Marchand describes as a “tort tax,” where attorneys pursue lawsuits against companies like Uber and Lyft even when individual drivers are at fault, driving up settlement costs that are ultimately passed on to consumers through higher insurance and ride-share prices. Marchand explains that lawmakers are now considering extending liability protections—similar to those granted to rental car companies under the Graves Amendment—to ride-share platforms, with the goal of reducing litigation-driven costs. The conversation highlights how legal strategies target corporations with deeper pockets, leading to higher premiums for everyday drivers and families, with Missouri cited as a state seeing thousands of dollars in added annual insurance costs per household. The segment also touches on driverless vehicle policy challenges, including how autonomous fleets like Waymo complicate traditional liability frameworks, and briefly addresses uninsured motorists as another factor contributing to rising insurance expenses.

The conversation critiques the modern higher education system, with Marc arguing colleges dramatically inflated tuition prices once federally backed student loans became widely available, comparing the crisis to the housing bubble and healthcare inflation. The segment also explores personal responsibility, predatory loan interest rates, parents' role in financial planning, and whether college degrees still justify massive debt loads outside of elite or specialized programs.

Drawing heavily from historian Tim Barton's research, Kim cites examples ranging from George Washington attending church immediately after inauguration to Congress approving Bible imports and presidents issuing prayer proclamations throughout early American history. The segment contrasts those traditions with Barack Obama's famous “we are no longer just a Christian nation” remark, which Kim argues symbolized a broader cultural effort to rewrite American identity, weaken the nuclear family, and erase the nation's Judeo-Christian roots under the banner of “fundamental change.” Hashtags: #KimOnaWhim #ChristianNation #TimBarton #GeorgeWashington #Obama #GregAbbott #Texas #ReligiousFreedom #JudeoChristian #AmericanHistory #Faith #MAGA #MarcCox
