Summary
Rush Hour Podcast — Afternoon Update
In today's packed afternoon episode, we dive into the latest developments in Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni, including the growing conversation about the culture of hugging on set, why Lively's accusations appear mild and unsupported, and how new details point to potential hypocrisy as reports circulate that she once initiated an involuntary kiss toward Baldoni.
We also break down Candace Owens' explosive new commentary on the Epstein files release, why she says she's done with the MAGA movement, and what this shift could mean for the broader conservative media landscape.

| 0:14.0 | Good afternoon, everybody. |
| 0:15.4 | Happy Friday to you on this November 14th, 2025. |
| 0:19.5 | Got all your stories for your rush hour ride home. |
| 0:22.6 | We're following the biggest story in the world, I believe, right now, that being the Epstein |
| 0:27.6 | files, all of the new emails, 20,000 or so of them that have been released by the Epstein estate. |
| 0:34.1 | Well, now we have Donald Trump saying that he wants his Department of Justice to investigate the Democrats that are in those emails. I want everybody investigated. This is why |
| 0:43.3 | there's an overwhelming support for the release of all of the Epstein files. But we'll get into that |
| 0:50.0 | story. I've got what Candice Owens has to say. She thinks Trump is being set up. It's interesting, |
| 0:56.8 | but that'll be the second half of the episode. First half, we've got more Blake lively |
| 1:00.2 | Justin Baldoni. Again, as interesting as the Epstein files, but maybe less of a global |

| 1:22.8 | It's pretty bogus, but it's also wild to think how far this case has gone. And this is like the main |
| 1:30.2 | claim that they have, which is he's hugging people at the workplace. It's a conversation |
| 1:34.4 | worth having. We'll have all these stories and more stars right now on the rush. So yeah, |
| 1:38.7 | these are the types of articles coming out, not looking good for Blake. Justin Baldoni |
| 1:43.5 | releases clip, seemingly showing Blake lively doing what she accuses him of doing |
