Rush Hour Podcast β€” Morning Edition

Sponsored by Wayfair- wayfair.com

Your fast, no-nonsense rundown of the stories driving the internet before lunch:

  • Viral 25th Amendment Post: calls for Trump to step down β€” or be forcibly removed β€” and reigniting a full-blown constitutional debate.

  • The Real Cost of Immigration: We break down what mass immigration and deportation efforts are actually costing American taxpayers, and why the numbers are far higher than most people realize.

  • Media, money, and power: How narratives get shaped, who benefits, and who's left paying the bill.
