Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro are officially at war, and the Daily Wire just made a move that many are calling dirty. We break down what the company allegedly did to Candace behind the scenes, why it escalated the feud, and how Candace is firing back publicly. Is this conservative media cannibalizing itself in real time?
Plus, Piers Morgan says he's owed $300,000 after claiming victory in a high-profile bet — but the other side isn't paying up. Did Piers actually win, or is this just another media spectacle?
And overseas tensions are heating up fast. We look at what new wars the U.S. may be sliding into, the blatant hypocrisy from political leaders who once claimed to be anti-war, and why cracks are forming inside the MAGA coalition as prominent voices turn on Donald Trump over the escalating Venezuelan conflict.
All that and more as we cut through the noise and get you up to speed — fast.

| 0:00.0 | 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. |
| 0:13.7 | Good morning, everybody. Happy Tuesday to you on this January 6th, 2026. I have all of your news for your rush hour ride to work. And boy, what a wild time to be alive, to say the least. How is this January 6 more violent than previous January 6th? I don't know. But it is pretty dodgy out there. We'll cover Venezuela, the kidnapping of the president of Venezuela. Who's next? Are we going into Cuba? Will we be going into |
| 0:39.2 | Greenland? I got all of those updates. Plus, Megan Kelly, who has been solidly in support of |
| 0:46.3 | President Trump starting to distance herself. We'll cover that. But first, covering Candace Owens, |
| 0:51.9 | her battle royale that she has with her former boss, listen, we all love to |
| 0:57.9 | talk smack about our former bosses, but to watch this play out in front of millions of people |
| 1:02.4 | is quite interesting, actually. So we're going to dive into Candice Owens. She's at war with Ben Shapiro. |
| 1:08.4 | If you stick around to the end of this episode, I'll also cover |
| 1:13.0 | Pierce Morgan, who has publicly tried to recoup his $300,000 from the bet he made with |
| 1:20.4 | Candice Owens around Brigitte McCrone. Lots of irons in the fire regarding Candice, but here we are. |
| 1:26.9 | So the Daily Wire is allegedly going to |
| 1:30.3 | relaunch Candace's podcast the one they still own the rights to and by the way I got to tell you guys |
| 1:35.8 | this is why I'm a one-man shop over here you cannot give your IP to anybody don't rent out your |
| 1:42.9 | time you know what I mean Work for yourself if you can. |
| 1:46.5 | Obviously, Candice is doing that now, but it's really because if you work for somebody, I mean, |
| 1:51.6 | listen, there isn't anybody in the world who can pay me to do a show on their platform. It's just |
| 1:56.4 | not going to happen because it's not about the money. It's about working in my pajamas. You know, you're happy happy that i even have pants on right now who the hell knows what's going on below the desk all because i can uh so either way here's what candis had to say about the relaunching of the defunct youtube channel here it is uh the candace owens, which was or is owned by the Daily Wire, |
| 2:20.3 | which is Ben Shapiro's company. She's been fired from that company. And either way, |
| 2:24.8 | 2.97 million subscribers still to this podcast, you know, I'll take it. Can I have the podcast? |
| 2:31.2 | What do you want from me? Here's what Candice had to say about what she thinks is about to happen. We obviously have to discuss Fort Wachuka before we get there, about an hour before we went live. A bunch of people were messaging me saying that the Daily Wire had brought back my old YouTube channel. They had seemingly deleted it. Apparently they just privatized it and they brought it back.
