This week, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) took to the Senate floor to share stories from victims of government-caused radation poisoning after the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) was stripped from the FY'24 National Defesne Autorization Act (NDAA).

"The worst, the worst of Washington, DC," Hawley tells The Marc Cox Morning Show.


RECA had bi-partisan support in the Senate until a "backroom" deal was struck removing it from NDAA. Hawley points to Congressional leadership and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

"...50 years, that St. Louis has had to put up with this. Noone has gotten a dime, the sites haven't been cleaned up where there is nuclear waste, this has got to change."

Hawley vows to continue to fight for for victims, "If this is the last thing I do in the Senate, we will get this done."

The Senator also speaks with Marc and Kim about the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

"We ought to have a public inquiry so the American people can see whether or not the President is a crook."
