Summary

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.

0:00.0	Welcome to the rush hour. Your daily dose of pop culture for your rush hour ride. Buckle up and enjoy the drive with your host, stand-up comedian Dave Neal.
0:13.7	Good morning, everybody. Happy Monday to you on this January 5th, 2026. I've all of your news for your rush hour ride to work. Hope you had a
0:23.3	magical holiday season. New Year, same old tea. We'll be discussing Candice versus Alex Jones,
0:31.0	Candice Owens, set to have a bombshell live stream this afternoon. I don't know if she's at
0:36.3	Fort Hachuka or if she went there,
0:38.4	really what the deal is, but we'll be covering this story. And Alex actually apologizes to Candice.
0:44.7	I'll share why. And again, don't hold your breath. I don't think it's too serious. But after that,
0:50.3	we're going to get a lot of information on this Venezuela, kidnapping, the
0:55.3	capturing of the Venezuelan president. So much to get into regarding, like, the geopolitical
1:00.8	ripple effect. Like, what's going to happen? China is now speaking out, demanding that the U.S.
1:06.2	release the president. It's just absolutely wild. Will there be any attacks to retaliate? I'll share all of this
1:13.9	information. You know, our channel here, we like to, I mean, I see myself as a sort of a water cooler
1:19.2	show, right? Give you all the news that you need for work or for your cigarette break conversations
1:24.9	like that. Some of its pop culture will have a Jimmy Kimmel update as he won an
1:28.9	award at last night's Critics Choice Award. And some things are way more serious. Like, is our country
1:33.6	entering a new war, a regime change war? I mean, these are things that we all need to get educated on.
1:38.8	So all this and more starts right now on the rush. Now, first I'm going to discuss Alex Jones.
1:44.6	That's right.
1:49.0	He is apologizing to Candace Owens, and then I'll share what she has to say.
1:57.0	Again, Alex Jones has waged war against Candice Owens, calling her a gaslighter and discrediting her,
2:00.7	all because she interviewed a guy that's pretty kooky Mitch Snow.
2:03.1	Anyway, here's what Alex Jones has to say.
