On this jam-packed Thursday edition of the Marc Cox Morning Show, Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge covered it all — from national politics to hometown St. Louis grit. The day built toward President Trump's 8pm primetime address on election integrity, with JD Vance's candid two-hour Rogan interview on Israel, Iran, and the Epstein files providing a preview of the administration's unfiltered approach. The show paid tribute to the two-year anniversary of the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt with widow Helen Comperatore's haunting remarks, while former Senator Jim Talent, Fox's Shannon Bream, and correspondent Griff Jenkins each brought sharp national and foreign policy insight. Locally, Marc and Kim defended Cardinal Nation against Barstool Sports on Kim on a Whim, dug into a St. Louis police funding fight rooted in political spite, exposed a shameful attempt to gut charges in the TJ Brown beating case, and called out defamatory election-season attack ads. Sports anchor Tom Ackerman championed the fight to save AM radio, and Dr. Joe Ojile brought the science on the daylight saving time debate. The show closed with Governor Tim Walz's stunning defense of a deported child predator — a fitting reminder of the stakes this show never stops fighting for. Faith, family, freedom, and common sense: that's the Marc Cox Morning Show, every single day.

Sports anchor Tom Ackerman joins Marc and Kim to laugh off Barstool Sports' cheap shots at Cardinal Nation before diving into something far more serious: his trip to Washington DC lobbying Congress to pass the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act. Tom breaks down why AM radio remains critical infrastructure for emergency alerts and public safety when cell towers and power grids fail — and reveals President Trump himself weighed in on a call with Speaker Mike Johnson to get it moving. From Elon Musk's resistance to a who's-who of Missouri lawmakers backing the bill, this is a fight for something every American should care about. Local voices, national stakes — that's the Marc Cox Morning Show.
