Joe Rogan is sounding the alarm on money in politics… but is anyone buying it? We break down Rogan's latest comments and the glaring hypocrisy critics are calling out, as the podcast king takes aim at a system he's arguably benefited from.
Plus, it's Tax Day—and "tax the rich" is trending nationwide. Is this just social media noise, or a real shift in how Americans view wealth, fairness, and who should foot the bill? We unpack the debate, the outrage, and what it actually means moving forward.
All that and more in today's Rush Hour.

| 0:23.0 | Going to start off playing Joe Rogan here as he talks about the fact that there's too much money in |
| 0:28.2 | politics. And again, here's the issue we have with Rogan is he's willing to say this to |
| 0:33.3 | certain audience. But then when he interviews people that are literal billionaires, we don't talk |

| 0:43.5 | how this all intertwines into the war that we're in right now, the $2 billion a day our taxpayer |
| 0:48.7 | money is going to to fight a war nobody signed up for. What's interesting is right now on Twitter, tax the rich is |

| 1:38.6 | that make $50,000 a year that might have been spoon-fed rhetoric that makes them want to think that they're going to |
