The gloves are OFF in what might be the messiest media feud of the year.
On today's afternoon episode of the Rush Hour Podcast, we break down the escalating war between Candace Owens and Laura Loomer—and it's no longer just online drama. What started as personal jabs has spiraled into serious accusations, with Candace now suggesting Laura may have crossed a legal line in her attempt to smear her and her family. Allegations of doxxing, immigration claims, and threats of lawsuits are flying in every direction as this feud turns into a full-blown legal and reputational battle. ()
We unpack what Candace says she's uncovered, whether a crime may have actually been committed, and why this fight is exposing deeper fractures inside the MAGA media world.
Plus, we zoom out to the bigger picture: the ongoing war in Iran and how it continues to divide political allies, with major voices turning on each other as tensions rise and narratives shift. ()
It's chaos, it's personal, and it's far from over.
All that and so much more on today's Rush Hour.
