Storms, Budget Battles, Education Crisis, and Political Tension (Hour 1)

The Marc Cox Morning Show

Marc & Kim kick off the show with a fun discussion about the studio’s lighting and Mark’s spotlight struggles before diving into serious matters. Meteorologist Dave Murray may join to discuss the storms expected later in the day. Marc shares his frustration over college basketball flops and questionable refereeing following Mizzou’s narrow win, as they look ahead to the Tigers' tough game against Florida. The team moves on to the political sphere, analyzing Chuck Schumer’s shifting stance on the government spending debate, with fiscal conservatives like Rand Paul and Thomas Massie voicing strong opposition. Later, Marc & Kim dissect the recent Fox 2 News debate between Tashara Jones and Kara Spencer, highlighting their differences on government spending, taxes, and police control in St. Louis. In a more sobering discussion, Kim takes on the decline of American education, pointing out alarming drops in student literacy and the dumbing down of the system. Finally, the show wraps up with the growing political tensions, including the fear of civil war and the behind-the-scenes chaos in Washington, particularly over the government shutdown. The wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars on projects like studies on pot and transgender teens is also brought to light, with a critical look at the government’s financial mismanagement.
