6d ago02:09:09Tap to summarizeToday's Marc Cox Morning Show covered it all — grief, grit, and good news for St. Louis and the conservative movement. The show opened celebrating Cardinals rookie Jordan Walker's historic Home Run Derby win before turning to the sudden death of Senator Lindsey Graham and South Carolina's smooth transition installing his sister, Darlene Graham Nordone, to finish his term. Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson reported live from Tel Aviv as President Trump reimposed a blockade on Iran and resumed airstrikes for a third straight night. St. Louis Congresswoman Cori Bush faced relentless scrutiny throughout the show over her refusal to explain where tornado relief donations funneled through a dark money nonprofit actually went.

Attorney Mark Cantor delivered a powerful conversation on rising antisemitism in America, and Armed American Radio's Mark Walters covered the ongoing fight over the Illinois AR-15 ban. The Media Research Center's Michael Morris exposed how Apple and Google actively suppressed negative coverage of scandal-plagued candidate Graham Platner. The show closed on an upbeat note, with June inflation dropping to its lowest point in over six years.

6d ago00:29:20Tap to summarizeThe final hour of The Marc Cox Morning Show delivers a powerful mix of tribute, accountability, and encouraging economic news. Senator Eric Schmitt honors the late Lindsey Graham while slamming Democrat obstruction on deporting violent criminals and confirming his support for Missouri's tax-cutting Amendments 4 and 5. Marc and Kim correct the record on the Home Run Derby rules and call out Joe Scarborough for pushing manufactured outrage over a justified ICE-related shooting in Maine. Media Research Center's Michael Morris delivers a bombshell: Apple and Google systematically suppressed damaging Graham Platner coverage from millions of voters during the Maine primary.

6d ago00:10:46Tap to summarizeMissouri Senator Eric Schmitt joins The Marc Cox Morning Show with a heartfelt tribute to the late Senator Lindsey Graham, calling him the most entertaining man in the Senate and a true friend across the aisle. But the conversation quickly turns to business — Schmitt exposes the insanity of Senate Democrats like Mazie Hirono fighting his bill to denaturalize and deport violent criminals and fraudsters who came to America illegally, and breaks down exactly what sanctuary jurisdictions really mean for public safety. Schmitt also updates listeners on the stalled Save America Act, his own legislation targeting mail-in ballot fraud, and doesn't hold back his concern over the rise of democratic socialists and open communist rhetoric infecting the Democrat Party. Closing strong, Schmitt confirms his full support for Missouri's Amendments 4 and 5, arguing eliminating the state income tax would make Missouri as competitive as Tennessee. Straight answers from a straight shooter — that's what you get on The Marc Cox Morning Show. Coming up: Michael Morris of the Media Research Center on Big Tech's suppression of the Graham Platner story.

Attorney Mark Cantor delivers a deeply personal conversation on rising antisemitism in America and the importance of Jewish Americans defending themselves. 2A Tuesday brings Armed American Radio's Mark Walters, breaking down the Illinois AR-15 ban ruling, Zohran Mamdani's erasure of NYC's historic immigrant neighborhoods, and why Democrats never abandon their most radical figures.

Transcribe →2A Tuesday: Mark Walters on the Illinois AR-15 Ban Upheld, Mamdani's Erasure of NYC Immigrant Enclaves, and Why Democrats Never Abandon Extremists
6d ago00:11:22Tap to summarizeIt's 2A Tuesday, and Armed American Radio's Mark Walters joins The Marc Cox Morning Show with a fired-up breakdown of the Seventh Circuit's latest ruling upholding Illinois' AR-15 ban — and why he's confident the Supreme Court will strike it down 6-3 once these cases finally reach them. Walters connects the dots between disarmament and tyranny, pointing to Zohran Mamdani's controversial New York City map that erased historic Italian, Irish, and Jewish neighborhoods, and warning that erasure always comes before encroachment. He draws a chilling parallel to Iran, where a disarmed population was left defenseless against takeover. Marc and Mark also revisit disgraced Florida Democrat Andrew Gillum's stunning fall from grace, and marvel at how the Left refuses to cut loose even its most radical, embarrassing candidates — from Graham Platner to Bernie Sanders' allies — while Republicans hold their own accountable. Freedom, self-defense, and hard truths — that's 2A Tuesday on The Marc Cox Morning Show. Coming up: Senator Eric Schmidt joins at the top of the hour.

Transcribe →Attorney Mark Cantor on Rising Antisemitism, Campus Double Standards, and Why Every Jewish American Should Own a Gun
6d ago00:07:24Tap to summarizeA powerful, personal conversation this morning as local attorney Mark Cantor of Cantor Law joins The Marc Cox Morning Show to discuss a sobering new AP poll showing most American Jews now feel less safe than before October 7th. Cantor shares his own decades of experience confronting antisemitism, from a college run-in with a white supremacist group to friends who lost family members to targeted violence, and doesn't hold back calling out the double standard on college campuses where every protected class gets defended except Jewish students. He points a finger at the permissive climate created by voices across the political spectrum, and delivers a message rooted in faith and self-reliance: never be a victim, and every Jewish American should know how to protect themselves. Marc and Kim close with heartfelt appreciation for Cantor's honesty and courage in speaking out. Real conversations, real faith, real America — only on The Marc Cox Morning Show. Coming up: 2A Tuesday with Mark Walters, plus Senator Eric Schmidt at the top of the hour.

Transcribe →Former State Senator John Lamping Breaks Down St. Charles School Board Wins, Broken Property Tax System, and Amendment 4 and 5 Stakes
6d ago00:11:46Tap to summarizeFormer Missouri State Senator John Lamping joins The Marc Cox Morning Show to unpack why moving St. Charles County school board elections to November is a genuine conservative win — tripling voter turnout and finally forcing accountability into races long dominated by teachers' union money and low-turnout special elections. Lamping goes deeper, exposing how nearly 90 Missouri counties remain captive to public school administrators who've filled the void left after prayer was pulled from classrooms decades ago, replacing it with radical gender ideology and trans education. He also slams the Post-Dispatch for a biased hit piece targeting conservative elections director candidate Jen Olson, and breaks down why Missouri's property tax system punishes homeowners and seniors alike. Before signing off, Lamping gives an inside look at the money finally flowing behind Amendments 4 and 5 — critical ballot measures three weeks from decision day. Marc closes strong, reminding listeners his full voter guide is live now at 971talk.com. Straight talk, real solutions — that's what you get every morning on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

Transcribe →St. Louis Morning Brief: Data Center Moratorium, School Board Wins in St. Charles, and Charges Coming in East St. Louis Family Tragedy
6d ago00:07:46Tap to summarizeThe St. Louis Morning Brief tackles a packed local docket this morning. St. Charles County Council unanimously approves a six-month moratorium on data centers, though Marc and Kim question the political timing given the ongoing county executive race. Bigger news: Governor Kehoe's signing of SB1002 moves St. Charles County school board elections to November starting in 2028, a huge win for conservative parents tired of union-backed candidates buying elections through low-turnout special elections. St. Charles also eliminates the annual reapplication hassle for the senior property tax freeze — common sense government at work. Then the brief turns somber, covering the devastating East St. Louis shooting that left five family members dead, with charges expected today against two teen suspects and questions swirling over whether they'll be tried as adults. And Cori Bush's dark money tornado relief scandal gets another look, as Marc and Kim underscore just how stonewalled reporter Mark Maxwell was met with. Real news, real St. Louis — that's the Marc Cox Morning Show Morning Brief. John Lamping joins us next.

Transcribe →Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson Reports Live from Tel Aviv as Trump Reimposes Iran Blockade and Naval Buildup Intensifies
6d ago00:09:10Tap to summarizeStraight from the front lines — Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson joins The Marc Cox Morning Show live from Tel Aviv with a full battlefield update as America enters a third consecutive night of strikes against Iran. Tomlinson breaks down President Trump's newly reinstated oil blockade, the Navy's cutting-edge sea drones taking out Iran's largest naval base, and 20 U.S. warships now enforcing the Strait of Hormuz — proof of American strength projected without apology. Tomlinson also gives listeners a ground-level view from Israel: a rare stretch of calm, Netanyahu's tough re-election fight, and the lasting legacy of the late Senator Lindsey Graham as a stalwart ally of Israel. Marc highlights how the Abraham Accords, built under President Trump's leadership, continue paying dividends for peace and security in the region — a stark contrast to the chaos of the previous administration. This is the kind of no-spin, boots-on-the-ground reporting only The Marc Cox Morning Show delivers. Coming up: the St. Louis Morning Brief and former State Senator John Lamping on the August 4th primary.
