Kim St. Onge is off the leash and she's not sugarcoating a thing. Tucker Carlson says he's done with the Republican Party — and Kim and Marc are breaking down exactly why his Israel obsession has sent him down the same rabbit hole as Candace Owens. Can you support Jewish people but oppose Israeli leadership? Marc and Kim wrestle with that question in real time — and come out swinging for Israel's right to exist. Then the conversation takes a sharp turn into independent voter mythology, the rise of political fence-sitters, and why throwing your vote at a third party is just handing the left a gift. And just when you thought the Democrat 2028 field couldn't get any stranger — green algae is apparently polling in first place. Only on the Marc Cox Morning Show does political analysis come with this much common sense and this many laughs. Don't miss it.

They came to honor America's warriors — and the Marc Cox Morning Show delivered one of the most powerful Monday mornings in recent memory. Broadcasting live from Whitmore Country Club in St. Charles County for the eighth annual SunTrip Folds of Honor Golf Tournament, Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge spent four hours doing what they do best: honoring the people who deserve it, exposing the people who don't, and giving conservative Missouri exactly what the mainstream media refuses to provide. The morning opened with Marc dismantling the narrative that Iran won anything — a country with no Navy, no Air Force, 85-90% of its missiles destroyed, and its uranium on the negotiating table. While JD Vance worked the room in Switzerland, Democrats like Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker, and Cory Booker rushed to cameras to root for failure — and Marc Cox called every single one of them out. Then Chuck Schumer accidentally admitted the SAVE Act might remove 25 million people from voter rolls, Rosie O'Donnell returned from Ireland to push election cancellation conspiracy theories, and Kamala Harris demanded 13 Supreme Court justices on the Don Lemon show. Kim St. Onge took over Kim on a Whim with a deep dive into the left's war on American history — from the Christopher Columbus statue that vanished from Tower Grove Park to Confederate monuments quietly returning to Baltimore to the 1619 Project sneaking into Missouri classrooms. Then the Marc Cox Morning Show played the audio of Joe Biden proving he had absolutely no idea what Juneteenth was — right before he made it a national holiday. Hans von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow at Advancing American Freedom, broke down the unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court marijuana gun ruling and warned that birthright citizenship and biological men in women's sports decisions could drop as early as this week. Dan Buck brought the number one downloaded song of the weekend — Tom McDonald's "Remember Who You Are" — and made the case that the silent majority is done being shamed into silence. Nicole Murray delivered the business headlines including oil prices dropping as Iran peace talks progressed and SpaceX stumbling after its blockbuster IPO. The emotional heart of the morning came when retired Marine Sergeant Rocky Sickman — who spent 444 days as an Iranian hostage — delivered a chilling warning live on air: Iran's interrogators told him directly during captivity that they simply wait out American presidents. He revealed he didn't learn until he came home that eight American soldiers died trying to rescue him in Operation Eagle Claw, and that every single morning he wakes up earning the day in their memory. Army veteran and Folds of Honor board director Ray Wagner added that his West Point classmate Major Nicholas Dockery had just received the Medal of Honor at the White House. Matt Schwartz, president of the Missouri and Southern Illinois Folds of Honor chapters, revealed that 150 fully qualified scholarship applicants went unfunded this year — and every $5,000 changes a military family's life forever. Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway drove out to Whitmore Country Club and delivered back-to-back bombshells across two segments — a June 25th deadline to Major League Baseball over suppressing Bible verses while forcing Pride logos, a full appeal of the judge's ruling gutting 179 Missouri abortion safety laws, an urgent warning to parents about Lorex baby monitors feeding audio and video to Chinese military-linked servers, the shutdown of kratom-derived 708 that has killed 161 Missourians and targets kids in recovery, and the news that 18,000 of Missouri's estimated 25,000 illegal slot machines have been shut down. Marc's son Brad Cox closed the show with the news that 350 golfers across two courses — Whitmore and Persimmon Woods — are projected to raise $400,000 for Folds of Honor in a single day. Four hours. One location. Countless reasons to be proud to be an American. This is the Marc Cox Morning Show — and ...

The Marc Cox Morning Show kicks off live from Whitmore Country Club — and Marc Cox comes out swinging. While patriots gather to tee off for Folds of Honor and America's veterans, Democrats are on television declaring Iran the winner of a war that left their military in ruins. Marc dismantles that lie piece by piece. Then — "Go Algae" protesters vandalize the National Mall's reflecting pool, Marine One sends them a message from above, and Judge Jeanine Pirro promises to prosecute every last one of them. Kim St. Onge takes over for Kim on a Whim with a deep dive into the left's obsession with erasing American history — from Tower Grove Park to Baltimore's returning Confederate statues to the 1619 Project sneaking into classrooms. And to cap it all off — the Marc Cox Morning Show plays the audio of Joe Biden proving he had zero idea what Juneteenth was right before he made it a national holiday. Hour 1 is a barn burner — and the show is just getting started.

They tore them down, shipped them off, and hoped you'd forget they ever existed — but Kim St. Onge isn't letting that happen. On this Kim on a Whim, Kim takes you from the Christopher Columbus statue that vanished from Tower Grove Park to Confederate monuments quietly returning to Baltimore — and asks the question the left refuses to answer: if you erase history, does that mean it never happened? Marc and Kim break down the radical push to melt down statues, rewrite school curriculum with the 1619 Project, and rename everything that offends even a single person. Plus — the man who made Juneteenth a national holiday couldn't even explain what it was, and the Marc Cox Morning Show has the receipts. History doesn't disappear just because you tear down the statue — and this segment proves exactly why the left wants you to think it does.

On this edition of Kim on a Whim, Kim St. Onge takes a look at National Dump the Pump Day and asks whether ditching your car is realistic for most Americans.

Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge kick off the show with an update on Mark's recovery from bicep surgery, along with stories from the weekend that included golf, the Bourbon Festival, and a Sammy Hagar concert. The discussion turns to the Trump-Iran ceasefire and oil agreement, examining whether the deal brings stability to the Middle East or provides Iran with additional leverage while tensions remain high across the region. The hosts cover the arrest of a suspect accused of molesting children at the Shaw Park Aquatic Center in Clayton, prompting concerns about safety at public pools and whether additional victims could come forward. They also discuss MoDOT's Manchester Road speed study, major road closures, bridge restrictions, and the growing impact of infrastructure issues on St. Louis commuters. In this week's "Kim on a Whim," Kim explores the controversy surrounding three San Francisco Giants pitchers who wore Pride Night caps featuring handwritten Bible verses from Genesis. The conversation expands into religious expression in professional sports, claims of selective enforcement by leagues and teams, Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway's response to MLB, and broader questions about faith, inclusion, free expression, and who gets to define the meaning of cultural symbols like the rainbow.

In this edition of Kim on a Whim, Kim St. Onge dives into the controversy surrounding three San Francisco Giants pitchers who wore Bible verses from Genesis on their Pride Night caps. While MLB said the players received a verbal warning for violating uniform rules, the incident sparked a broader debate about religious expression, inclusion, and free speech in professional sports. Kim and Marc discuss whether faith-based messages are treated differently than Pride-related messaging, the meaning of the rainbow in the biblical story of Noah, and whether Christians should be free to publicly reference that symbolism without backlash. The conversation also covers Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway's warning to MLB over potential religious discrimination concerns and questions about how leagues and teams enforce policies regarding political, social, and religious messages.

Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge tackle the biggest local and national stories of the day, including the Trump-Iran ceasefire and oil agreement, concerns over Middle East stability, the Shaw Park Aquatic Center molestation case, St. Louis infrastructure challenges, and Centene's employee buyout program.

Guests include Don Palmer on election integrity, voter rolls, and ballot harvesting; Acting Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling on unemployment fraud, manufacturing growth, and apprenticeships; and John Mack of Pink Tiger Marketing on the new Mark Cox Morning Show moving billboards. In Hour 4, Jimmy Failla discusses the Knicks' championship celebration, President Trump's UFC appearance, and the latest Biden family headlines, while Taylor Riggs breaks down falling oil prices, gas prices, inflation, and global energy markets.

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. The hour wraps up with Kim on a Whim as Kim examines claims from Gavin Newsom regarding political investigations, questions surrounding charity finances and government fraud, political double standards, and the role rhetoric plays in today's political landscape.

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.

Kim St. Onge dives into the debate over comedy, cancel culture, and whether classic sitcoms like The Office could still be made in today's culture. Using memorable Michael Scott moments and recent comments from Rainn Wilson as a jumping-off point, Kim explores whether society has become too sensitive,

Ryan Wrecker joins Kim St. Onge for a packed edition of The Marc Cox Morning Show.

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.

The Marc Cox Morning Show tackles a question every landlord, employer, and neighbor deserves an answer to — do you have the right to know who you're dealing with? Virginia's new Clean Slate Law takes effect July 1st, automatically sealing over 100,000 criminal records and blocking background checks from revealing convictions for theft, drug distribution, and more. Dan and Kim go back and forth on second chances versus the right to know — and the conversation gets real fast. Rehabilitation is one thing, but what happens when you can't evict a bad tenant and you never knew their history to begin with? Kim on a Whim — the segment that asks the questions most people are afraid to.

A new survey says 75% of Americans want kid-free dining sections — and Marc and Kim are not letting that slide without a fight. Kim, a mom of two, brings the honest take you won't hear from the pearl-clutching crowd, and Marc has a simple solution that the anti-kid snobs aren't going to like one bit. From cigarette smoke to crying toddlers to parents who've completely given up on discipline, this conversation covers the full spectrum of what's happened to common decency in public spaces — and who's really to blame. It's funny, it's real, it's the kind of talk that only happens on The Marc Cox Morning Show. Don't tap out early — the kicker at the end will have you ready for the next segment before you even catch your breath.

This one will stop you cold. A popular YouTuber and his wife documented their entire pregnancy journey for clicks and cash — then announced at 20 weeks they aborted their baby boy after a Down syndrome diagnosis, and had the audacity to call themselves victims. Kim Onawale isn't buying it, and neither should you. This is eugenics with a ring light and a monetized comment section. Kim breaks down exactly why this isn't a tragedy that happened to this couple — it's a tragedy they chose, while a voiceless baby paid the price. The baby's fingers, legs, and face were visible on the ultrasound. Kim saw her own children at 20 weeks. She knows what was lost. This is the conversation the pro-abortion left doesn't want happening on morning radio — raw, real, and unapologetically pro-life. Don't miss Kim on a Whim on the Marc Cox Morning Show.

Hour 3 of the Marc Cox Morning Show brought the firepower — and not just from the studio air conditioner finally kicking in. Heritage Foundation's Jonathan Butcher pulled back the curtain on America's college campus DEI shell game, where "diversity" got swapped for "belonging" but the racial preferences never went anywhere. Then Ken Cuccinelli delivered the most battle-tested election integrity analysis you'll hear anywhere in conservative media — a surgical takedown of John Thune's surrender on the SAVE Act, a roadmap for attaching it to FISA, and a cold hard look at California's election system that he says is built from the ground up to absorb cheating. Scott Pelley's media meltdown got the two-tape treatment that left CBS News with nowhere to hide. And Kim on a Whim closed the hour exposing a seven-city St. Louis fire department merger that has union power grab written all over it. The Marc Cox Morning Show isn't just talking about what's wrong with America — it's naming names and showing receipts. Hour 4 is straight ahead.

Hour One of the Marc Cox Morning Show came out swinging and didn't let up for a second. America went to war overnight — bombs over Iran, a helicopter down, and two pilots pulled from the ocean by an unmanned drone boat in one of the most remarkable military rescue stories you'll hear this year. Back home, Carmelo Anthony is heading to prison for 35 years while race-baiters tried to rewrite the verdict outside the courthouse. Then Kim on a Whim delivered one of the most gut-wrenching conversations of the year — a YouTuber who monetized his pregnant wife's journey, then monetized the announcement that they aborted their Down syndrome baby boy at 20 weeks and called themselves the victims. Kim didn't hold back, and neither did the audience. And if your blood pressure wasn't high enough, Marc closed the hour exposing how Missouri's Supreme Court, the Realtors Association, and the left's lawfare machine are teaming up to kill Amendment 5 and keep their hands in your paycheck. Hour One of the Marc Cox Morning Show is the conservative alarm clock America didn't know it needed — and the best is still yet to come.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What if the single most powerful thing you could do to save America costs nothing and happens at your kitchen table? Kim is on a whim and she's hitting close to home — the slow death of the family dinner, why the left has been quietly cheering its decline, and why the numbers are finally starting to turn around. From Pizza Hut bringing back red cups and checkered tablecloths to Trump accounts designed to build generational wealth, this segment is a love letter to the values that made America strong — family, intentionality, and the dinner table that held it all together. Kim and Marc dig into the nostalgia we're all craving, the parenting culture we desperately need to reclaim, and whether right now — chaos and all — might actually be the good old days we'll look back on. If you believe the family is the foundation of everything, this is the conversation you've been waiting for someone to have.

Buckle up — the Marc Cox Morning Show opened Friday with an hour that had the left sweating from the very first minute. A TikTok radical publicly prays for Attorney General Pam Bondi to suffer the most agonizing cancer in history, and Marc makes sure every listener knows exactly who these people are. Then the cultural hypocrisy hits home — MAGA hats banned while pride flags wave freely, conservatives biting their tongues while the left screams tolerance they never actually practice. Kim on a Whim blows the lid off the White House's genius troll job on illegal immigration — disguised as an alien disclosure — before the whole crew dives deep into UAPs, extraterrestrial contact, and whether the government is hiding something even bigger than we imagined. And to close the hour, Jill Biden's stunning debate night admission gets the full Marc Cox treatment: she wasn't scared for her husband — she was scared for her power. One hour. Four segments. Zero punches pulled. If this is how Friday starts, you cannot afford to turn it off.

The Marc Cox Morning Show goes full throttle on one of the biggest questions of our time — and it's not the one you think. Kim kicks off with a jaw-dropping reveal from the White House itself, a stunning government admission that aliens have been living among us, shopping in our stores, sitting in our classrooms — and you will not see that twist coming. Then the conversation explodes into UAPs, Steven Spielberg's cryptic new movie, the Book of Enoch, and whether extraterrestrials have already made contact with Earth. But that's not all — the left is clutching their pearls over the word illegal alien, and Marc isn't having it for one single second. If breaking into this country makes you a criminal, then the language fits — and no amount of liberal word games is going to change that. Faith, aliens, open borders, and the Trump administration trolling the left at the highest level — all in one segment. You cannot make this up, and you cannot afford to miss it.

Hour 3 of the Marc Cox Morning Show delivered the kind of radio that keeps you glued to your seat from the first word to the last. Marc opens with a searing breakdown of how St. Louis progressive politicians are quietly starving the police department while a Texas lawmaker calls school choice advocates white nationalists — and the outrage is completely justified. Heritage Foundation national security expert Andrew Harding drops in to explain why Iran's economy is bleeding out under the blockade and why a real nuclear deal may actually be within reach for the first time in decades. Then Congressman Eric Burlison delivers the most jaw-dropping UAP briefing you'll hear on any radio show — hundreds of witnesses, radar confirmation, and F-16s that couldn't keep up with glowing orbs over a U.S. military base, with the CIA potentially sitting on even bigger answers. Kim on a Whim closes the hour with Trump's $250 bill, the new Trump Accounts baby bonus, and a pronunciation debate that had the whole studio in stitches. Three hours in and the Marc Cox Morning Show still has more fire left in the tank.

Hour Three of the Marc Cox Morning Show delivers the kind of straight talk and expert analysis you simply cannot get anywhere else. Marc opens with a devastating breakdown of the left's coordinated ICE smear campaign — reminding everyone that 67 people died in ICE custody under Obama while the media looked the other way. Then former Senator Jim Talent joins the show to lay out exactly where the Iran standoff is headed — and why clearing the Strait of Hormuz could be the final checkmate. Jim also weighs in on the Texas Senate race, where Ken Paxton is already unloading on James Tallarico — a radical leftist hiding behind a Bible and barbecue ribs. Marc and Kim dig even deeper into why Republicans cannot get comfortable in Texas, drawing chilling parallels to Virginia, Beto O'Rourke, and Dukakis in the tank. Then Kim on a Whim wraps the hour with Kevin O'Leary's viral takedown of Gen Z spending habits — and a financial reality check that the student loan forgiveness crowd desperately needs to hear. Shannon Bream and Griff Jenkins are locked in for Hour Four. The best is still ahead.

One bold CEO just pulled the trigger on his entire HR department — and the conversation it sparked on the Marc Cox Morning Show might make you rethink everything about corporate America. Kim and Marc dig into whether HR has become little more than an expensive DEI enforcement machine and a legal liability shield, drowning employees in useless trainings nobody actually watches. From the brainwashing of DEI hiring practices to the AI revolution that could replace human resources entirely — and the companies already regretting that bet — this is the kind of straight-talk conversation Corporate America doesn't want you having. The Marc Cox Morning Show goes where the mainstream won't. Tune in and find out why your HR department might be the most overpaid, underperforming team in the building.

They coordinated the protests. They manipulated the headlines. They hid a president's dementia for three and a half years. And the Marc Cox Morning Show spent every minute of this Thursday morning blowing the whole operation wide open. From the opening bell, Marc and Kim exposed the Democrat Party's orchestrated smear campaign against ICE detention centers — with Tom Homan's own numbers dismantling the narrative piece by piece, and the inconvenient reminder that 67 people died in ICE custody under Barack Obama while the media looked the other way. Former Senator Jim Talent joined the show to break down exactly where the Iran standoff is headed — why Trump seized a once-in-a-generation military advantage, and what clearing the Strait of Hormuz would mean for the regime's survival. Shannon Bream delivered live Supreme Court coverage with landmark decisions potentially dropping on birthright citizenship, trans athletes, and redistricting — cases that could reshape America for a generation. Griff Jenkins pulled no punches on Carville's dangerous unhinged rhetoric, Jill Biden's cover-up, and the Texas Senate race that just became the most expensive and unpredictable in modern American history. Tom Ackerman brought Cardinals-Cubs fever to a city ready for summer baseball, and delivered a moving tribute to NASCAR legend Kyle Busch. Kim on a Whim tackled Corporate America's DEI-soaked HR machine and Kevin O'Leary's viral takedown of a generation that can't stop spending. And the St. Louis Morning Brief covered a $30 million FAA grant for Lambert Airport, St. Louis Police finally getting their drones, and a heartbreaking concert tragedy that hit this city hard. This is the Marc Cox Morning Show at its absolute best — four hours of truth, common sense, and the conservative voice that St. Louis and America cannot afford to silence. See you tomorrow morning.

Kim dives into the exploding trend of “health maxing,” where people obsessively track sleep, protein intake, supplements, workouts, cold plunges, saunas, and step counts in pursuit of perfect wellness and longevity, questioning whether modern self-improvement culture has gone completely overboard. Using commentary from Matt Walsh and examples ranging from protein-infused products to GLP-1 weight loss drugs and social-media-driven fitness extremes, the conversation explores how wellness culture has shifted from healthy habits into all-consuming lifestyle obsession. Marc compares today's trends to Atkins-era dieting crazes and recalls bizarre weight-loss products from the past, while both hosts argue moderation has disappeared from modern culture as younger generations increasingly optimize every aspect of life — from fitness to personality traits to social interactions.

They're coming for your kids' classrooms, and this time they're calling it "equity." Kim on a Whim blows the lid off a radical New York bill that would virtually ban school suspensions — and the real agenda hiding behind the feel-good language will make every parent's blood boil. Marc and Kim connect the dots from broken homes to burned-out teachers to a generation of kids being set up to fail — all while the left pats itself on the back. The Ferguson effect is coming for America's schools, and if nobody sounds the alarm, your child's education pays the price. This is the conversation every parent, teacher, and taxpayer needs to hear — and the Marc Cox Morning Show is the only place having it honestly.

The Marc Cox Morning Show kicked off the week with a first hour that hit harder than a Monday morning should — and it didn't let up for a single second. From a tear-jerking Memorial Day ceremony that too few Americans bother to attend, to Marco Rubio walking a tightrope with Iran while bombs are still falling, Marc set the stage for a show that refuses to flinch from the truth. Megyn Kelly declared MAGA dead — Marc Cox buried that argument with facts. A New York bill wants to strip discipline from your children's classrooms in the name of equity, and Kim on a Whim called it exactly what it is. Then a wounded warrior sat a smug CBS anchor back on her heels and reminded every American why this is still the greatest country on earth. One hour down, three to go — and the Marc Cox Morning Show is just getting started.

Hour 3 of the Marc Cox Morning Show came in swinging and never let up. Marc opened by dismantling Megyn Kelly's claim that MAGA is dead — with 21 primary wins as Exhibit A. Fox and Friends First host Todd Piro joined to untangle the Iran paradox and weigh in on Giants quarterback Jackson Dart's bold Trump introduction that set the sports world on fire. Then Sgt. Betsy Brantner-Smith of the National Police Association delivered a masterclass on why pool takeovers, defunded departments, and unchecked mental illness are a recipe for disaster in every American city. And Kim on a Whim closed the hour with a stomach-turning update — the man Planet Fitness allowed in the women's locker room is a registered child sex offender. The Marc Cox Morning Show goes where others won't, asks what others won't, and delivers the truth that every conservative American deserves to hear.

From the first note of the national anthem to the final word on the 2028 Democrat clown car, the Marc Cox Morning Show delivered four hours of truth, fire, and conservative common sense that no other show in St. Louis will give you. The show opened with a moving Memorial Day tribute that reminded every listener why freedom isn't free — and called out the Americans, the media figures, and yes, even a sitting mayor who chose to dishonor the day. Marc dismantled Megyn Kelly's claim that MAGA is dead with a scoreboard that says otherwise, while Lt. Col. William Swenson put a CBS anchor in her place with the most patriotic answer in recent memory. Kim on a Whim exposed a radical New York school discipline bill and dropped a bombshell update — the man in Planet Fitness's women's locker room was a registered child sex offender. John Lamping broke down Missouri's ballot bombshell, Andy Baker made the case for Amendment 4, and Sgt. Betsy Brantner-Smith connected the dots between defunded police, teen takeovers, and a generation nobody taught to respect the law. Todd Piro weighed in on Iran, Jackson Dart's bold Trump introduction, and why sports and politics make uneasy bedfellows. And Christian foster parents Shane and Jennifer DeGros proved that faith still wins in America — if you're willing to fight for it. This was the Marc Cox Morning Show at its very best — and we'll be back Wednesday at 5.

A Colorado middle school student was reportedly denied permission to present a slam poem defending pro-life views, with the teacher labeling it “too political” and potentially unsafe for classmates. The segment escalates into a broader argument about perceived classroom bias, where other political topics like LGBTQ and immigration are reportedly allowed, while abortion-related viewpoints are restricted. The discussion expands into personal experiences with similar academic censorship, concerns about ideological filtering in public schools, and why many families shifted toward private education during and after COVID-era schooling controversies.

Hour 1 opens with Mark Cox returning from a bourbon barrel pick trip to Missouri's Ben Holladay Distillery before quickly pivoting into a heated breakdown of Missouri's looming ballot fight over Amendment 3 and initiative petition reform, warning about outside money, abortion politics, and constitutional changes driven by billionaire-backed campaigns. The hour's Shortlist segment tackles Trump joking about Cuba becoming the “51st state,” Byron Donalds blaming Iran for gas prices, Bill Maher struggling to book Democrats, and a sharp conservative backlash against Candace Owens after her Hunter Biden interview. Kim on a Whim centers on a Colorado middle school student allegedly blocked from reading a pro-life poem in class, sparking a larger conversation about public school political bias, private school migration during COVID, censorship, and classroom double standards. The hour closes with discussion surrounding NASCAR star Kyle Busch, reflections on mortality after his final public comments, and Mark's firsthand reaction to a discrimination lawsuit targeting Edward Jones over compensation practices.

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. The hour then pivots into an extended breakdown of the Chicago Bears potentially abandoning Illinois, with sharp criticism aimed at J. B. Pritzker and Chicago leadership over soaring taxes, stalled stadium negotiations, sanctuary city spending, and economic decline pushing major organizations toward states like Indiana. In “Kim on a Whim,” Kim exposes the growing industry behind fake viral content, AI-driven engagement, bot amplification, and manipulated social media popularity tied to influencers, politics, and entertainment, including references to Justin Bieber and online political campaigns. The hour closes with a heated debate over comments from Jeff Bezos suggesting lower-income Americans should pay no federal taxes, leading into broader arguments about government dependency, taxpayer burdens, progressive economics, and fears of expanding state control over daily life.

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.

Kim's “On a Whim” segment dives into the bizarre and unsettling world of de-extinction science after Texas-based Colossal Biosciences successfully hatches live chicks using artificial eggs lined with bioengineered membranes. The crew debates whether technology designed to revive extinct species like the dodo bird, giant moa, woolly mammoth, and potentially even dinosaurs is scientific progress or reckless “playing God,” repeatedly comparing the concept to the disaster scenarios of Jurassic Park. Kim questions the ethics and practical value of resurrecting extinct creatures simply because science now makes it possible, while Marc argues there may be a stronger case for restoring species humans hunted to extinction. The conversation spirals into jokes about pet velociraptors, T-Rexes roaming neighborhoods, exotic animal ownership gone wrong, and the terrifying possibility that humanity is walking directly into its own sci-fi warning label.

Hour 1 opens with Marc previewing a major Missouri Right to Life event featuring Riley Gaines before diving into Donald Trump's dominant primary-night victories, including the defeat of Thomas Massie and growing pressure on Republican holdouts across Georgia, Texas, and North Carolina. The hour heavily focuses on Trump's White House ballroom project and a fiery defense of his leadership style, followed by an explosive conversation about a massive IRS settlement tied to leaked Trump tax returns and whether January 6 defendants unfairly targeted by the federal government deserve compensation. Kim's “On a Whim” segment then shifts the show into sci-fi territory with a debate over Colossal Biosciences hatching chicks in artificial eggs and the frightening possibility of resurrecting extinct species straight out of Jurassic Park. The hour closes with reaction to the San Diego mosque shooting as Marc and Kim challenge early media narratives about the attackers while arguing the real lesson is the life-saving importance of armed security officers protecting schools and religious institutions.
