Hosts Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge navigate top regional and national headlines across the second hour, opening with reminders that Missouri in-person no-excuse absentee voting is officially open across local election authorities. In the Shortlist, the hosts evaluate political campaign audio from Maine Senate candidate Troy Jackson regarding wealth taxes, review comments from Senator Marco Rubio defending "America First" foreign policy strategies, and discuss campaign warnings from Glenn Beck. The St. Louis Morning Brief highlights the Major Case Squad arresting Arlington, Texas suspects Willie Herndon and Taiya Herndon in connection with the random Interstate 170 shooting death of 17-year-old McCluer North High School student Alyssa Wilson, details an inmate escape through the ceiling at the City Justice Center, and examines St. Louis Police Chief Robert Tracy's salary structure. Financial reporter Nicole Murray reviews downtown St. Louis Bank Plaza renovation plans, state nuclear power grid proposals, and Novig's prediction market lawsuit against Attorney General Catherine Hanaway, before "In Other News" wraps up with California Highway Patrol sea lion clearance efforts, Duke football on-field training staff incidents, and Elon Musk's proposal to distribute SpaceX stock to American children.
