| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the rush hour. Your daily dose of pop culture for your rush hour ride. Buckle up and |
| 0:08.5 | enjoy the drive with your host, stand-up comedian Dave Neal. Good afternoon, everybody, on this |
| 0:15.6 | Friday, February 20th, 20, 26, I have all of your news for your rush hour right home. And the big story breaking this |
| 0:22.7 | afternoon is that the Supreme Court strikes down most of Trump's tariffs. It's a major blow |
| 0:29.2 | to the president. I'm going to go right to what the pundits are saying. This is a big deal for |

| 1:31.5 | going to keep the country spiraling into debt. |
| 1:33.5 | Let's have a listen. |
| 1:34.5 | But today the United States Supreme Court stood up for the rule of law, stood up for |
| 1:39.5 | Americans everywhere. |
| 1:41.5 | Its message was simple. |
| 1:43.9 | Presidents are powerful, but our Constitution is more powerful still. |
