In today's afternoon episode of the Rush Hour podcast, we break down the explosive hearing as Pete Hegseth faces intense questioning from senators over what many are calling an unjust war. The pressure ramps up as contradictions emerge and lawmakers demand answers the administration doesn't seem ready to give.
Plus, a major political shake-up in Maine: Graham Platner scores a huge victory as Janet Mills drops out of the Senate race, sending shockwaves through the state's political landscape. What this means for the balance of power—and who stands to gain the most—could reshape the upcoming election cycle.
All that and more in today's Rush Hour.

Candace Owens fires back—and she brought receipts.
In this lunchtime bonus episode of Rush Hour, we break down the escalating feud between Candace Owens and Donald Trump after Trump publicly called her out… and Owens responded with a brutal takedown using one of his own most famous speeches against him. It's a political clapback that's got everyone talking.
We unpack what Trump said, why he's targeting Owens now, and how her response flips the narrative in a way that hits hard with both critics and former supporters. Is this just another headline-grabbing spat, or a deeper fracture inside the conservative movement?
Plus, what this moment reveals about loyalty, power, and the shifting landscape heading into a high-stakes political season.
It's messy, it's personal, and it's exactly the kind of showdown you don't want to miss.

It's a packed Morning Rush as the drama between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni takes another turn—and the narrative isn't lining up.
Blake claims she was promised a sequel to It Ends With Us, but newly surfaced evidence and court arguments are raising serious questions about that version of events. Baldoni's team is pushing back hard, calling parts of her claims speculative, especially when it comes to alleged damages tied to a sequel that was never officially confirmed (). With key claims already dismissed and the trial looming, the gap between what's being said publicly and what's being argued in court is getting harder to ignore.
Meanwhile, in Washington, Pete Hegseth is under intense pressure, facing tough questions in a congressional hearing over the escalating war in Iran. Lawmakers are grilling him on inconsistencies, accountability, and whether the administration has been fully transparent with the American public.
Two high-stakes battles—one in Hollywood, one on Capitol Hill—both centered on credibility, conflicting narratives, and what the truth actually looks like when the spotlight hits.
