Transcribe →The Marc Cox Morning Show July 17, 2026: Redacted Election Documents, Iran Strikes, and Attack Ads Rock the August Primary
3d ago02:24:42Tap to summarizeA jam-packed Friday on The Marc Cox Morning Show tackled election integrity from every angle, starting with President Trump's heavily redacted document release revealing 278,000-plus non-citizen voter registrations, hacked state election systems, and a buried Michigan voter fraud scheme, all while ABC, NBC, and CBS refused to air the speech. Cybersecurity expert Mark Cook demonstrated live how easily voting machines can be manipulated, fueling the show's push for Amendment 4 reform and the Save America Act, backed by Congressman Bob Onder's on-air breakdown of the bill's path through reconciliation. Jim Carafano weighed in on escalating Iran strikes and confirmed foreign hacking threats to U.S. elections, while local news covered Cori Bush's questionable campaign payments, a new County police chief's public safety priorities, and Senator Josh Hawley's fight over mail delays. Two women, Nicole Murray on business and Trisha Burns on the Senate campaign trail, delivered standout moments, with Burns exposing a fabricated smear tied to her real work fixing the broken 988 crisis line. Pat Burns highlighted the youth sports officiating shortage, and the show closed with the Guns and Hoses Queen of Hearts raffle and family birthday celebrations. Faith, family, freedom, and election integrity, that was the heartbeat of the show heading into the August 4th Missouri primary.

3d ago00:34:54Tap to summarizeThe final hour delivers a mix of hard news and community heart. It opens with a stunned reaction to Maine's chaotic Senate debate and fresh detail on the 278,000 non-citizen voter registrations uncovered in Trump's document release, alongside Derek Schmidt's grilling of a DOJ official over commuting 40 death sentences. Pat Burns of PSB Officiating Services explains why youth sports across the region are struggling to find referees and umpires willing to face today's abuse from parents and coaches. Then Tricia Byrnes delivers the hour's biggest gut punch, revealing how her opponent's campaign twisted her real effort to fix a broken 988 crisis line into a fabricated criminal smear, complete with proof they knew the truth all along.

3d ago00:12:17Tap to summarizeThe gloves come off as Tricia Byrnes, Missouri House member and Senate District 10 candidate, exposes a vicious opponent-backed attack ad twisting her genuine effort to fix a broken 988 crisis line into a fabricated criminal accusation. Byrnes details how her own investigation found the 988 system leaving suicidal callers waiting over an hour for a human response, a discovery that led President Trump to defund the transgender chatbot portion of the program nationally. She reveals her opponent's campaign strategists knew the real story, had it in writing, and pushed the false narrative anyway, even mistakenly mailing the attack piece to the wrong district. Byrnes stands firm on her record, from holding the federal government accountable on Coldwater Creek to banning cell phones in classrooms, while pivoting to her next fight: getting books and cursive writing back in Missouri schools. A raw, revealing conversation about the dirty tricks of primary season on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

Transcribe →Pat Burns on Why Fewer People Want to Officiate Youth Sports Amid Rising Abuse from Parents
3d ago00:07:28Tap to summarizePat Burns of PSB Officiating Services, who assigns referees and umpires to about 95 area schools, joins the show to explain a shortage hitting youth sports across the board. Burns says the average high school official is now in his early 50s, with too few young people stepping in to replace them, even as leagues like Parkway Rockwood host over 500 youth basketball games on a single Saturday. He shares harrowing stories, from a parent shoving a referee decades ago to being spit on by a player, and argues today's abuse isn't necessarily worse, just more visible thanks to social media amplifying every ugly moment. The takeaway for parents and grandparents alike: respect the people willing to do a thankless job, or there won't be anyone left to call the game. A grounded, common-sense conversation on The Marc Cox Morning Show about accountability, respect, and community.

3d ago00:12:06Tap to summarizeCongressman Bob Onder joins the Capitol Beat with a full slate of conservative wins and warnings. He lays out the plan to fold the Save America Act's voter ID and citizenship-check requirements into the reconciliation bill, sidestepping the filibuster while calling out RINO Tom Tillis for standing in the way of common-sense election integrity that over 80 percent of Democrats and minority voters actually support. Onder confirms the danger of a Cori Bush comeback in Missouri's First Congressional District, making the case for an 8-0 congressional map, and details his own Better Child Care for Students and Parents Act moving education authority back to the states. The biggest news: the Chloe Cole Act, ending pediatric transgender procedures on minors, just passed committee 13 to 8, with Onder praising detransitioner Chloe Cole's courage in speaking out. He closes urging listeners to pay close attention to down-ballot races like St. Charles County's Director of Elections. The Marc Cox Morning Show keeps the focus on protecting kids, protecting elections, and protecting the Republic.

Transcribe →Jim Carafano on Iran Strikes, Trump's Peace Through Strength Doctrine, and Foreign Hacking of US Elections
3d ago00:07:48Tap to summarizeJim Carafano of the Heritage Foundation joins the show to unpack the overnight strikes near Bandar Abbas and why President Trump waited so long to respond to Iran's provocations. Carafano makes the case that Trump follows a Reagan-style peace through strength philosophy, weighing every American life before pulling the trigger, and dismisses concerns over presidential safety by praising the Secret Service under this administration. The two also dig into the president's election integrity speech, with Carafano confirming there's serious evidence China, Russia, and North Korea have hacked American election websites and stolen voter data, while blasting officials who limited the president's access to critical intelligence. The takeaway for listeners: protecting America's elections and calling out China's malicious activity isn't optional, it's a matter of national security that transcends politics.

Transcribe →Hour 2: Media Blackout on Trump's Speech, Cori Bush Payments Resurface, and Democrats Split Over Israel
3d ago00:40:58Tap to summarizeHour 2 keeps the pressure on accountability and truth-telling. The show opens with outrage that ABC, NBC, and CBS refused to air President Trump's election integrity address, even as newly released FBI files detail a pay-to-play voter fraud scheme in Muskegon, Michigan. The St. Louis Morning Brief digs into fresh questions about Congresswoman Cori Bush's campaign payments to her husband, a new County police chief's plan to fill 100 vacant positions and crack down on the minor curfew, and Senator Josh Hawley's fight for answers on St. Louis mail delays. Business news with Nicole Murray covers a rocky market, local restaurant news, and the Taco Bell lettuce outbreak, sandwiched around a sobering look at more than 100 House Democrats voting to cut off funding to Israel. In Other News closes things out with some much-needed levity before Jim Carafano and Congressman Bob Onder take the mic. Faith, family, freedom, and a free press that still tells the truth, that's the mission this hour on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

Transcribe →St. Louis Morning Brief: Cori Bush Payments to Husband Resurface, Police Chief Talks Vacancies, and Josh Hawley Presses Postal Service
3d ago00:07:23Tap to summarizeIt's a busy St. Louis Morning Brief. New records show Cori Bush's campaign has paid husband Courtney Merritt roughly $120,000 since 2022, including payments once flagged in a prior ethics complaint, while questions linger over funds allegedly funneled from a tornado relief charity. St. Louis County's new police chief lays out his priorities, including filling 100 vacant positions, boosting visible patrols, cracking down on the minor curfew, and reevaluating a juvenile point system critics say lets young car thieves walk free. Elsewhere, a local nonprofit rolls out a Peace on Wheels van to counsel gun violence victims, and Senator Josh Hawley calls out the Postmaster General's offer of a facility tour as a photo op instead of real answers on St. Louis's mail delays. The Marc Cox Morning Show keeps its eye on accountability, common-sense policing, and government waste, all before Jim Carafano and Congressman Bob Onder join in the next hour.
