Hear the latest updates from the mayor and the governor, what the president had to say as pressure mounts from both sides, and how protests are erupting across the country in response. We also dig into the media framing, the political fallout, and what this moment could mean for immigration enforcement and public trust going forward.

Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro are officially at war, and the Daily Wire just made a move that many are calling dirty. We break down what the company allegedly did to Candace behind the scenes, why it escalated the feud, and how Candace is firing back publicly.

And overseas tensions are heating up fast. We look at what new wars the U.S. may be sliding into, the blatant hypocrisy from political leaders who once claimed to be anti-war, and why cracks are forming inside the MAGA coalition as prominent voices turn on Donald Trump over the escalating Venezuelan conflict.

All that and more as we cut through the noise and get you up to speed — fast.

Rush Hour Podcast — Afternoon Edition

Candace Owens is back in the headlines after reacting to the French president's first lady, as French authorities arrest 11 citizens for alleged cyberbullying.

We break down the international legal stakes and why this story is bigger than just one commentator.

Plus, Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro pleads not guilty in New York City to federal charges—what his appearance in U.S. court signals for international relations, sanctions, and accountability.

And Senator Mark Kelly, American hero and astronaut, fires back after the Secretary of Defense targets him and moves to dock his retirement pay. We explain why Kelly's response is resonating across party lines and what this means for civil-military norms and political retaliation.

Show notes

Monday Morning Rush Hour

Alex Jones does the unthinkable and apologizes to Candace Owens, sending shockwaves through the right-wing media ecosystem. We break down what sparked the reversal, whether it's genuine, and what it means for the ongoing conservative civil war. Meanwhile, things go fully off the rails as Donald Trump floats the idea of U.S. military action involving Venezuela, Greenland, Mexico, and Cuba, yes, all of them. We unpack why this rhetoric is not just reckless, but completely detached from reality. Plus, MAGA podcasters are quitting, imploding, or quietly walking away as the movement fractures in real time. Buckle up, this one is absolutely deranged.
