Hour 2 of The Marc Cox Morning Show was wall-to-wall St. Louis — and the country. Marc Cox called out lame duck County Executive Sam Page for holding law enforcement hostage over a budget grudge, forcing officers to choose between making arrests or cutting criminals loose. The St. Louis Morning Brief delivered a stunning lineup: a firefighter with a prior assault record caught defecating in an airport food closet, a brave KFC employee who tackled an armed robber and may lose his job for it, a teen takeover threat in St. Charles County, and a 15-year-old shot dead near the Grove. Sports insider Tom Ackerman joined Marc and Kim in studio to break down the Cardinals' new CEO era under Bill DeWitt III and the Blues' jaw-dropping four first-round pick arsenal heading into the NHL Draft. And In Other News closed the hour with the NCAA's eligibility chaos, a world-record scream, two recovered baby giraffes, and Rod Stewart collapsing on stage at 81 — then finishing the show anyway. Four segments. Zero dull moments. This is The Marc Cox Morning Show.

They spent millions to fool you — and The Marc Cox Morning Show spent four hours making sure they failed. From the opening bell, Marc Cox called out the Missouri Realtors Association's $4 million campaign of deception targeting conservative voters on Amendments 4 and 5, firing back with the kind of unapologetic truth-telling that Rush Limbaugh made famous and that this show carries forward every single day. Kim St. Onge brought the receipts on World Cup visitors going viral for discovering the America the mainstream media has spent decades trying to bury — friendly, safe, generous, and absolutely stunning to anyone who believed the headlines. A jaw-dropping faith survey revealed that strong Republicans are ten times more likely to have unshakeable belief in God than strong Democrats, explaining the very soul of this political divide. Hour 2 exposed Sam Page's lame duck power trip holding St. Louis law enforcement hostage, delivered a St. Louis Morning Brief packed with stories the local media won't touch, welcomed sports insider Tom Ackerman in studio to break down the Cardinals' new CEO era and the Blues' four first-round pick bonanza, and closed with the wildest In Other News of the week. Hour 3 brought Fox News' Griff Jenkins live to sound the alarm on Squad 2.0 and the Democrat Socialists of America's explosive growth, former Arizona Congressman JD Hayworth exposing Big Pharma's stranglehold on prescription drug prices, Amendment 4 champion Andy Baker laying out Missouri conservatives' last line of defense against radical ballot manipulation, and Kim on a Whim torching Senator Chris Murphy's $25 minimum wage vote-buying scheme. And in the final hour, Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream reported live from the steps of the Supreme Court with landmark decisions minutes away, Missouri State Senator Nick Schroer delivered the definitive case for Amendment 5 and the path to zero income tax, and Marc Cox closed the week with his final passionate plea for the SAVE Act, clean voter rolls, and the voter guide that every Missouri conservative needs before August 4th. This was The Marc Cox Morning Show at its absolute best — four hours of truth, fire, and common sense that the left never saw coming.

Hour 1 of The Marc Cox Morning Show comes out swinging and doesn't let up for a second. Three Democratic Socialists just swept New York primaries and they're headed to Congress — and the left is celebrating like it's a revolution. Marc Cox asks the question every common sense American is thinking: where does this end? While the radical left dreams of government-owned grocery stores and rent control fantasies, the mainstream media is simultaneously burying a massive economic win — US manufacturing just hit a four-year high with five straight months of growth, and the Trump economic plan is delivering exactly what was promised. Back home in St. Louis, Kim St. Onge blows the lid off the infuriating Starbucks story where two employees who heroically fought off armed robbers got fired for it, and their lawsuit is finally heading back to court. Then Marc Cox drops the bombshell memo that hit every police chief's desk in St. Louis County this morning — Sam Page's jail is turning away prisoners, twenty-three medical positions are disappearing, and law enforcement is being used as a political pawn in a budget standoff the Democrats created. Former County Police Chief Tim Fitch joins in Hour 2 to break it all down. This is The Marc Cox Morning Show — and Hour 1 is just the opening bell.

St. Louis is never short on stories that make your head spin — and this morning is no exception. Kim St. Onge and Marc Cox dig into the Sam Page jail staffing crisis that is already impacting law enforcement across St. Louis County as of this very morning, with former Chief Tim Fitch coming up next hour to explain why he saw this coming a mile away. Then a major Cardinals press conference is set for one o'clock this afternoon and all signs point to Bill DeWitt III officially taking the reins — and if you're a Cardinals fan, Marc says that's actually great news. Plus a Jefferson County school bus driver is fired and hit with thirty-seven counts of child endangerment after blowing a .02 — below the legal limit — raising serious questions about whether the charges fit the crime. And Missouri lawmakers are pushing Governor Kehoe for a special session on data centers before they start popping up in everybody's backyard without a single guardrail in place. The Marc Cox Morning Show has your St. Louis covered from every angle — don't miss a minute.

Hour 2 of The Marc Cox Morning Show pulls no punches and covers every angle. Marc Cox lays out the jaw-dropping platforms of the three Democratic Socialist primary winners headed to Congress from New York — abolish prisons, abolish ICE, open borders, taxpayer-funded transgender treatments, and one candidate who literally wiped her hands on the American flag. The dirtbag left isn't a fringe movement anymore — it's winning elections. Then the St. Louis Morning Brief brings it home with Kim St. Onge breaking down Sam Page's jail staffing crisis that went into effect at 6 a.m. this very morning, a major Cardinals ownership announcement expected this afternoon, and a Jefferson County school bus driver facing thirty-seven felony counts after blowing a .02. Business reporter Nicole Murray joins to deliver the local and national numbers, including teen summer jobs hitting their lowest point since the 1940s and a bipartisan housing bill heading to President Trump's desk. Then In Other News caps the hour with a runaway driverless Waymo police chase, an Amazon driver who mistook a front lawn for a driveway, and a JP Morgan executive who torched her career over a Knicks trash can. Former County Police Chief Tim Fitch is up next — and you will not want to miss what he has to say.

It's not a budget crisis — it's a power play. Former St. Louis County Police Chief and County Council Member Tim Fitch joins Marc Cox to pull back the curtain on exactly what Sam Page is doing with the county jail staffing shutdown that went into effect at 6 a.m. this morning. Fitch has seen this playbook before and he's calling it out — Page is using local law enforcement as a hammer to force the county council into approving three million dollars with zero questions asked, while his own health director refuses to even show up and answer to the council members whose job it is to oversee the budget. The ripple effects are staggering — ERs flooded with criminal suspects, cops weighing whether arrests are even worth the hassle, and prisoners gaming the system to avoid the jail altogether. Plus Fitch reveals Page's criminal case for using taxpayer dollars to fund his own political campaigns is still pending — and warns that Page has his eye on Ann Wagner's congressional seat and is not going anywhere. The Marc Cox Morning Show has the story nobody else is telling — and Tim Fitch is telling all of it.

Hour 3 of The Marc Cox Morning Show delivers the kind of truth-telling that the mainstream media refuses to touch. Former St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch opens the hour pulling back the curtain on Sam Page's calculated power play — using the county jail staffing crisis as a political weapon against the county council while local law enforcement and ordinary St. Louis residents pay the price. Derrick Morgan of the Heritage Foundation joins to sound the alarm on a nation approaching its 250th birthday with only 31% of Democrats saying they are proud to be Americans, a Democratic Socialist wave threatening major American cities, and a SAVE Act showdown that will force every politician in Washington to show their true colors. Sarah Parshall Perry of Defending Education exposes how Missouri State University was running secret campus thought police — allowing students to anonymously report classmates for pronoun violations — until Defending Education took them to federal court and shut it down. Then Kim St. Onge closes the hour with the story that perfectly captures how far off the rails the radical left has gone — Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson declaring a transfemicide state of emergency in a city where thirty-nine people were shot over one weekend and not a single victim was transgender. Hour 4 is straight ahead and it only gets better from here.

The Marc Cox Morning Show gets St. Louis County 3rd District Councilman Dennis Hancock on the phone as the Sam Page trial status conference kicks off — and the picture is not pretty for St. Louis County's embattled executive. Page is facing two felonies and two misdemeanors for using taxpayer dollars and county staff to push political mailers on Prop B, and Hancock says every day that passes without a plea deal costs Page more money and more leverage. The smart move is obvious — resign, protect the medical license, take the off-ramp. But this is Sam Page, a man with an overly inflated ego who may drag this all the way to trial. If he goes, Council Chair Rita Days steps up as interim executive, Mark Harder becomes the first Republican council chair in memory, and St. Louis County finally gets a chance to breathe.

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.

The Marc Cox Morning Show brings you everything St. Louis needs to know this Friday morning — and it is a packed house. A bombshell source tells Dan Buck that St. Louis County Executive Sam Page — facing two felonies and two misdemeanors — may hand in his resignation today as part of a plea deal, and good riddance. A Six Flags Skyscreamer malfunction left four people — including two children — dangling 150 feet in the air for two and a half hours. Senator Eric Schmidt's diving catch at the Congressional baseball game made ESPN's Top 10. And the St. Louis murder rate is on pace to blow past 150 kills before year's end — and the city barely blinks.

In Kim on a Whim, Kim St. Onge and Marc Cox unload on growing media hysteria surrounding hantavirus after viral videos promoted constant mask-wearing and respirator use over fears tied to rat-borne illness outbreaks. Kim mocks a blue-haired TikTok creator advocating N95 masks with built-in “sip valves” while warning listeners not to fall for what she sees as another fear-driven public health narrative reminiscent of COVID-era panic. The segment breaks down reports tied to cruise ship cases and the death investigation involving Gene Hackman's wife, while emphasizing that hantavirus infections remain extremely rare despite alarming headlines about “Level 3 emergency responses.” Marc and Kim criticize media outlets for sensationalizing isolated cases, joke about figures like Sam Page and Anthony Fauci reviving lockdown-style messaging, and argue the public is being manipulated into paranoia despite the World Health Organization describing overall risk as low. The segment closes with Marc ridiculing individuals still masking alone outdoors years after the pandemic and comparing long-term mask devotees to isolated WWII soldiers who never realized the war had ended.

Marc then reflects on the death of CNN founder Ted Turner while criticizing media coverage of Trump's White House ballroom expansion and unloading on St. Louis County Executive Sam Page over proposed city-county consolidation efforts, accusing local media of ignoring the financial dangers and government overreach involved.

The focus then shifts sharply to local politics, as Sam Page revives the controversial city-county merger proposal, arguing it could address budget pressures and rising service costs. The hosts push back forcefully, framing the plan as an expansion of government rather than reform, and warning it could saddle the county with the financial struggles of St. Louis, reigniting a long-running and deeply divisive regional debate.
