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.
0:13.6	Good afternoon, everybody, on this March 2nd, 2026.
0:17.8	I have all of your news for your rush hour ride home.
0:20.2	Pretty crazy Monday out there.
0:21.6	Of course, we're going to be covering the war in Iran. We've got Candice Owens actually calling it,
0:27.9	just flat out calling it this past summer after our initial strike that we did in Iran to
0:33.3	obliterate their nukes. Well, apparently that wasn't enough for us. Bloodthirsty, warmongers. And the question is why? What's the motivation? Well, we're going to break that down. I'm to share what Candace has to say. We've got Pete Hagseth coming out with just blatant lies and propaganda. When you know the rulebook, you can see the lies from a mile away. When you know the rule book, you can write the other
0:55.9	team's plays before the game even starts. That's what Candice does here. I'm going to share what
1:00.5	she has to say on Pierce Morgan and so many other interesting clips to talk about. But don't forget,

1:12.2	Gramercy New York City at the New York Comedy Club, Springfield Mass, and Laugh Boston opening
1:18.7	from my pal Jay Hollingsworth, headlining Stanford, Connecticut, March 19th, and then I'll be at
1:23.6	the Rhode Island, the Comedy Festival at Laughot on March 29th, and maybe some other dates
1:28.3	coming. Go to rush hour with Dave.com. That's rush hour with Dave.com. Here's what Candice had to say
1:33.6	back in June after we did our initial bombing of Iran. Again, a bombing that wasn't voted on.
1:40.2	And that didn't end with American casualties, but the war we're in right now already has four,
1:45.7	four American casualties. And Trump says there's going to be more and it's just part of the deal,
1:51.8	which I'll share the trending story where people want Baron Trump to enlist in the war.
1:56.6	I mean, I think that should be a requirement. You want to be a president. You got to put your kids in, you know, you have to think, like, you know, I'm not just some billionaire
2:04.1	who's going to be draft dodging with bone spurs, but you really have to think that this is going
2:08.3	to affect American lives.
