Hour 2: World Cup Fallout, Rising Gas Prices, Socialism's Sales Pitch, and In Other News with Nicole Murray

Hour 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.
