Hour 2: Birth Tourism, Budget Vetoes, Record Markets, and Minneapolis Goes Full Sodom

Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge kick off Hour 2 on July 1st fired up and ready to work. Marc connects China's state-sponsored birth tourism operation directly to the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship ruling, warning that Beijing is manufacturing future American voters while Roberts and Barrett hand them the win. The St. Louis Morning Brief brings a deadly road rage killing on I-64 in O'Fallon, Governor Kehoe's sweeping $500 million budget veto that axes police training facilities and school funding, St. Louis Public Schools announcing the closure of 20 buildings, and the Festus data center developer scaling back under community pressure. Business reporter Nicole Murray joins to break down a market snapshot that mirrors the heat outside — record global M&A activity at $2.8 trillion, Iran selling oil at a 20% premium post-naval blockade, a $6.8 million jury verdict against SSM Health for sex discrimination, and mortgage rates inching down. Marc celebrates his upcoming birthday Lake of the Ozarks trip and the crew debates the legend of Party Cove. Then In Other News lands with Supergirl's catastrophic box office bomb, FBI debunking every Nancy Guthrie ransom note, a Florida firefighter accidentally rescuing a coyote, a bull rider trampled at a New York City rodeo, and Minneapolis legalizing sex venues days before its Pride Parade — capping the hour with Marc's call to fence off Minnesota and let socialism and degeneracy destroy itself.
