Hosts Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge navigate top regional and national stories during the second hour, opening with new details from the Bend, Oregon, school shooting where an armed citizen intervened to eliminate a 16-year-old gunman, alongside analysis of Supreme Court expansion commentary and Republican polling trends. The St. Louis Morning Brief highlights the final metrics of "Operation Show Me Justice"—resulting in 435 arrests, 166 seized firearms, and $1.25 million in recovered assets—along with updates on an Interstate 170 fatal shooting investigation and police initiatives addressing church vandalism and copper theft. Financial reporter Nicole Murray reviews market indexes, Franklin County data center lawsuits, KFC switching beverage suppliers from Pepsi to Coca-Cola, and unionization votes at Union Loafers Cafe, before the hour closes with "In Other News" stories covering Tesla's flying Roadster demonstration video, Costco dog toy releases, and Hilary Swank's pregnancy announcement.
