| 0:00.0 | Hey folks, it's Dave Neal here with a bonus lunchtime episode of the Rush Hour podcast. |
| 0:05.5 | We've got Erica Kirk canceling a Turning Point USA event and nobody was showing up either way. |
| 0:12.5 | So she's being called out for canceling, lying to people about the reasons why. |
| 0:17.2 | Could it be because no one was attending? |
| 0:19.1 | She's claiming it's a security risk. And of course, |
