The Marc Cox Morning Show, July 20, 2026: Trump Derangement Goes Airborne, Liz Oyer Gets Grilled, and Missouri's Constitution Hangs in the Balance
2d ago02:10:05Tap to summarizeMonday's Marc Cox Morning Show opened with Mark and Kim fresh off a big weekend — Mark catching a Rush concert in Chicago and swinging by Obama's much-mocked Presidential Center, Kim celebrating watching baby Everding grow up. From there, the show never let up: Missouri's no-excuse early voting launched a national conversation about election integrity, with Mark making his passionate case for Amendment 4 to protect the state Constitution and walking listeners through Amendments 5, Prop U, and Prop C ahead of the August 4th election. Kim on a Whim delivered two standout segments — defending homeschooling families against leftist attacks and mocking United Airlines for catering to Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers dodging Trump International Airport. The St. Louis Morning Brief kept it local with a parasitic diarrhea outbreak, a viral flag controversy at Firehouse 35 that ended with an official Fire Department response, and a troubling road rage shooting downtown. Guests brought real depth: Nicole Murray covered gas prices topping $4 amid Iran tensions, Tanya J. Powers unpacked the data center fight spreading from New York to Missouri, and Tom Ackerman broke down Spain's World Cup triumph and the Cardinals' playoff push. The political fireworks peaked with Senators Eric Schmidt and Josh Hawley's takedown of Biden clemency aide Liz Oyer over the release of Dylann Roof, while Andrew Cuomo warned that the Democratic Party's socialist drift could be a gift to Republicans. The show closed with Tom Homan's comply-first message on ICE enforcement and one more push to get out and vote informed. Faith, family, freedom, and Missouri common sense — that's another Monday in the books for the Marc Cox Morning Show.

2d ago00:30:24Tap to summarizeHour Four opens with Mark riding high on Rush-fan camaraderie before diving into a lively debate on eliminating Missouri's personal property tax, followed by a sharp Andrew Cuomo interview clip warning that the Democratic Party's socialist turn may be the best gift Republicans could ask for.

Guest Tom Ackerman brings the sports wrap, praising Spain's dominant World Cup title run and diving into the Cardinals' bullpen woes as the team clings to a wild card spot, plus optimism around rising star Jordan Walker.

Transcribe →Tom Ackerman Breaks Down Spain's World Cup Dominance and a Cardinals Bullpen Meltdown
2d ago00:09:49Tap to summarizeSports voice Tom Ackerman joins Mark to relive Spain's dominant 1-0 World Cup final win over Argentina, crediting Spain's disciplined possession game and praising the tournament's record TV ratings as a sign soccer's American audience keeps growing — even if Tom says US player development still has a long way to go. Then it's on to the Cardinals, coming off a rough loss that exposed bullpen troubles and a stagnant offense, leaving them in a tight wild card race with the Pirates closing in. Tom stays bullish on rookie sensation Jordan Walker after his viral Home Run Derby performance, predicting a monster contract in his future if the Cardinals commit to developing homegrown talent rather than chasing free agents against big-market teams. Great sports talk, straight analysis, hometown pride — that's the Marc Cox Morning Show. Coming up: more ahead as the show wraps up Hour Four.

2d ago00:32:54Tap to summarizeHour Three opens with reflections on kids growing up and Missouri's early voting kicking off tomorrow, with Mark making his final case for Amendment 4 ahead of the August 4th election. Guest Tanya J. Powers joins to break down New York's data center moratorium and the transparency questions surrounding these massive facilities coming to Missouri communities. The hour hits its peak with Senators Eric Schmidt and Josh Hawley dismantling Biden DOJ clemency aide Liz Oyer over her recommendation to free Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof and the rest of federal death row, paired with a real update on the Firehouse 35 flag controversy as the Fire Department finally responds. Kim on a Whim closes the hour with a satirical take on United Airlines catering to Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers who don't want to land at the newly renamed Trump International Airport. Sharp commentary, real accountability, and plenty of laughs — that's Hour Three of the Marc Cox Morning Show.

Powers (Fox News Radio, data centers)
Transcribe →Tanya J. Powers Breaks Down New York's Data Center Moratorium and the Hidden Costs of Mega Facilities
2d ago00:07:18Tap to summarizeFox News Radio's Tanya J. Powers joins Mark and Kim to unpack New York Governor Kathy Hochul's year-long pause on new large-scale data center permits, and why communities across Missouri and southern Illinois — including St. Charles — are pushing back with their own moratoriums. Tanya lays out just how massive these facilities have become, with one Louisiana campus now spanning over 3,600 acres, larger than 2,700 football fields, while raising tough questions about strained power grids, rising residential electricity costs, and limited long-term job creation once construction wraps. Mark adds a local wrinkle: a friend in the industry says it takes as few as six people to run an entire data center once it's operational. The real issue, Tanya says, is transparency — how much these companies actually pay in taxes and what communities get in return. It's the kind of deep-dive accountability conversation that defines the Marc Cox Morning Show. Coming up: more on the Schmidt-Hawley hearing, and Kim on a Whim at 7:45.

2d ago00:33:47Tap to summarizeHour Two opens with Mark reliving his Rush concert weekend and Trump's defiant World Cup trophy moment, before the Shortlist digs into a fresh State Department travel warning on the Middle East and the growing socialist push from Kathy Hochul and Pete Buttigieg, who Mark says are betting wrong on red-state America. The St. Louis Morning Brief tackles a 400 percent spike in parasitic diarrhea cases statewide, the still-unresolved flag controversy at Firehouse 35, a disturbing road rage shooting that left a 13-year-old hurt downtown, and the ongoing data center fight spilling out of Festus. Guest Nicole Murray brings the business rundown — gas prices crossing $4 a gallon amid Iran tensions, Boeing's rocky financial road ahead, and a Shakira-approved verdict on the World Cup halftime show. In Other News closes things out with a bizarre Airbnb photo mystery, Finland's pink singles baskets, and the first lawsuit tied to Taco Bell's lettuce outbreak. Real talk, real St. Louis, real conservative common sense — that's Hour Two of the Marc Cox Morning Show.

Transcribe →St. Louis Morning Brief: Parasitic Diarrhea Spikes 400 Percent, Fire Station Flag Mystery Continues, and a Teen Shot in Road Rage Downtown
2d ago00:06:51Tap to summarizeThe St. Louis Morning Brief tackles a growing health scare as cyclosporiasis cases spike over 400 percent statewide, with Mark and Kim reminding listeners not to panic — cook your vegetables, don't buy into the hysteria. The upside-down flag controversy at Firehouse 35 continues to simmer with still no comment from the Fire Department and no clear timeline on when the photo was taken. Then a sobering local story: a 13-year-old boy shot in an apparent road rage exchange in downtown St. Louis, a stark reminder of how quickly things escalate on the streets these days. Rounding out the brief, the data center fight rages on with a lawsuit setback in Festus and New York becoming the first state to slap a moratorium on large-scale data centers — a fight Mark says isn't going away, no matter how many politicians try to dodge where they really stand. Real news, real St. Louis, real talk — that's the Marc Cox Morning Show. Coming up next: business with Nicole and In Other News.

Transcribe →Hour 1: Rush, Obama's Ugly Museum, Missouri's Amendment 4, Homeschool Wars, and a Viral Flag Mystery in South City
2d ago00:32:58Tap to summarizeHour One of the Marc Cox Morning Show opens with Kim fresh off a Rush concert and a drive-by look at Chicago's much-mocked Obama Presidential Center, before pivoting to the Shortlist — AOC's tone-deaf Southern accent tour through Tennessee, Bill Maher souring on socialism, and Senator Mark Warner getting caught lying about the SAVE Act on live TV. Kim then breaks down Missouri's no-excuse early voting starting tomorrow and makes her case for Amendment 4 ahead of the August 4th election. Kim on a Whim takes direct aim at leftist podcasters trashing homeschool families, with Mark and Kim defending faith-driven parents and exposing why blue states lag behind red states like Tennessee and Montana in homeschool rates. The hour wraps with a developing story out of South City, where an upside-down flag at Firehouse 35 has gone viral — and Mark insists on getting the facts before assigning blame. Faith, family, freedom, and Missouri common sense — that's Hour One of the Marc Cox Morning Show.

Transcribe →Kim on a Whim: Leftist Podcast Hosts Trash Homeschooling Moms, Mark and Kim Fire Back With the Facts
2d ago00:11:21Tap to summarizeKim on a Whim takes on the left's latest target: homeschooling families. Mark and Kim break down a viral rant from two liberal podcasters who call homeschool parents trickle-down stupid and admit they'd rather crawl to school than spend time with their own kids — and the Department of Education claps back hard. From there it's a real conversation about why homeschooling works, why blue states have the lowest homeschool rates while places like Tennessee and Montana lead the nation, and why so many Missouri families turned to homeschooling and school choice after seeing exactly what their kids were being taught post-2020. It's faith, family, and parental rights versus a media class that thinks loving your kids too much is the problem — only on the Marc Cox Morning Show. Stick around, because next up is a flag controversy brewing right here at a St. Louis fire station.
