Today's episode dives into the viral "DoorDash Grandma" story that has the internet fired up—and not in a good way. What started as a feel-good delivery moment quickly spirals into a much bigger conversation about exploitation, optics, and who really benefits from the gig economy.

We break down:

The truth behind the "DoorDash Grandma" narrative and why people are calling it staged or misleading
How the White House got involved—and why critics say it's tone-deaf
The growing backlash against gig economy companies and the treatment of workers
Why the Donald Trump administration is now being accused of exploiting gig workers for political messaging
The larger issue: are these jobs helping Americans get ahead—or keeping them stuck?

Plus, we connect the dots between viral content, political spin, and the reality millions of Americans face working app-based jobs just to get by.

All that and more on today's Rush Hour.

Donald Trump is under fire after posting a bizarre AI-generated image of himself as Jesus—and his excuse might be even stranger than the post itself. Critics across the board aren't buying it, and now the Catholic Church is stepping in, calling out what many see as deeply offensive and inappropriate.

We break down the fallout as the clash between Donald Trump and Pope Francis escalates into a full-blown "President vs. Pope" moment. Trump refuses to apologize, doubling down despite growing backlash from religious leaders and political figures alike.

Is this just another headline-grabbing stunt, or has Trump crossed a line that even his supporters can't defend? We unpack the reaction, the response from the Vatican, and why this controversy feels different.
