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.

Good morning, everybody. Happy Friday to you on this December 19th, 2025. I got all of your news for your rush hour ride to work.

Normally, we are mailing it in this time of year, barrel scraping season.

Sadly, that's just not the case.

There's so much to get into.

We'll first be discussing Candace Owens and the bombshell interview that lit the internet on fire yesterday.

Interviewed a man who claims he saw Erica Kirk on a military base

Turning Point USA event. I'll share that as well. We're also going to get into Donald Trump renaming the Kennedy Center, the Trump Kennedy Center. Why? I've got no idea.

and wife Christina died along with Greg's daughter, Emma, and Greg and Christina's two-year-old son,

It was actually going to meet with somebody and then turned around quickly and crashed.

So truly our thoughts and prayers. It's been a tough week. We've got other news about the Brown shooter being found dead. And again, just a wild, a wild pre-Christmas week. So my apologies to start the episode out so somber, but specifically to the families of those victims there. It's just absolute tragedy. Well, before we get into Candace, just a quick update,

like I said, the Brown University campus shooting suspect found dead from self-inflicted gunshot wounds.

As far as I know right now, they're still trying to possibly tie the Brown shooter to the shooter of a,

of, that happened at MIT as well. on that though as the information comes out but

hopefully my family in Rhode Island can rest a little easier knowing that the alleged shooter
