Candace Owens is back in the headlines, and things are getting surreal. Candace claims Charlie Kirk came to her in a dream—and says he's currently stuck in purgatory. We break down what she meant, how the internet reacted, and why her ongoing war with Ben Shapiro and The Daily Wire just keeps escalating. Is this a full-blown political and media civil war on the right?

Plus, major international developments as French President Emmanuel Macron calls out the United States over accusations of "stealing Greenland," with sharp words from the European Union and growing global tension. And back at home, we dig into the latest ICE updates and the looming question surrounding Venezuela: who's actually going to pay for this mess?

Wild stories, strange dreams, geopolitical chaos, and media feuds—this episode has it all.

Topics include:

  • Candace Owens claims Charlie Kirk appeared in her dream… from purgatory

  • The escalating Candace Owens vs. Ben Shapiro & Daily Wire fallout

  • Macron and the EU accuse the U.S. of stealing Greenland

  • ICE updates and the financial fallout tied to Venezuela

  • What it all means moving forward

Welcome to the rush hour, your daily dose of pop culture for your rush hour ride.

0:07.7

Buckle up and enjoy the drive with your host, stand-up comedian Dave Neal.

0:13.9

Good afternoon, everybody. On this Tuesday, January 13th, 2026, I got all your news for your rush

0:20.6

hour ride home. And buckle up, folks. Be safe

0:23.4

out there on the road because we got a spicy one for you. Candice Owens back in the news, millions of

0:28.9

viewers of her latest video where she discusses the dream she had regarding Charlie Kirk,

0:35.3

who she says is in purgatory. Listen, I don't know how purgatory works.

0:38.7

Maybe he's there.

0:39.6

I always thought of purgatory as like a bus stop. It's kind of like Forrest Gump at the bus stop. You're kind of like in between where you were and where you're going. I don't know. What do you think, theologians out there? Do I have that right? Either way, she says that in her dream, which I'll share with you, Charlie Kirk reveals

0:56.1

who has betrayed him. And speaking of betrayal, we have the whistleblower who betrayed Daily Wire,

1:03.5

the lady who didn't want to audition for the Candace Owens Smear show. Well, she is now speaking

1:09.7

very kindly of Candice. We'll get into all those

1:12.0

stories. Plus, more on Greenland, the U.S. wants it, not taking no for an answer, not understanding

1:17.7

consent. Greenland, France, just about everybody is speaking up saying, it's going to come with a war.

1:24.1

You know that, right? So, oh boy, get ready. Get your, I don't know, your rice ready for your food prepping when we reach a nuclear winter. I hate to be, I mean, I hate to be so glib, but, you know, what will my show, what will become of my show when the grids wiped out? We'll do it live. We'll do it from the front porch. All right, we got all these stories and more starts right now on the rush. All right, so I'm going to dive into what Candace had to say. We'll get into that in a second. But first, I want to cover the Candace whistleblower. This story was very interesting to me. I love covering independent journalism and the sort of soap opera world that exists around it. Whistleblower exposes revenge plot. So this whistleblower, I think her name's Maggie, reveals that she was supposed to audition for the show, the show being, you know, supposed to just make fun of Candace, the show on the Daily Wire, owned by Ben Shapiro. Of course, Candice is in a war with Ben Shapiro. She claims they're stalking her. They claim she's stalking them. It's like, just make up already, you know what I mean?

2:21.3

But it ended poorly, and now this whistleblower comes out and reveals that they're trying to

2:26.7

just like use Candace's face and image because they own the rights to her show, which, again,

2:32.8

at some point I would think you could get

2:34.3

involved with the law and say, at what point, are you going past the bounds of whatever

2:39.7

contractual ownership you have? But either way, the whistleblower decided not to take the money.

2:45.4

And I always respect people who don't make decisions just for the money, you know, having

2:49.9

some moral fiber. Well, now that's
