Summary
Good Friday Chaos: Baldoni Wins BIG, Lively Reels + Trump Escalates Iran Conflict
It's a wild Good Friday edition of Rush Hour as the legal tides turn in a major way—Justin Baldoni scores a massive victory, with reports that he's won the majority of claims brought against him by Blake Lively. We break down what this means moving forward, why this is such a stunning shift in the case, and how both sides are reacting. You'll hear from legal experts representing Lively and Baldoni, as celebrations erupt on one side while the other scrambles to respond.
Plus, we pivot to global tensions as Donald Trump reportedly orders a strike on a key bridge in Iran. What does this escalation mean? Are we on the brink of a larger conflict? We unpack the latest developments and what could come next in an increasingly volatile situation.
Big wins, big risks, and massive headlines—let's get into it.

| 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. |
| 0:13.8 | Good morning, everybody. Happy Good Friday to you on this April 3rd, 2026. I have all of your |
| 0:20.0 | news for your rush hour ride to work. |
| 0:22.5 | Now, normally I do a morning episode, an afternoon episode, but this is going to be one monolithic |
| 0:27.6 | episode. Justin Baldoni has a massive victory that was bestowed upon him in court yesterday |
| 0:35.1 | by the judge. I'm going to break this thing down to the best of my |
| 0:38.2 | abilities. Something like 10 of the 13 claims that Blake lively was making against |
| 0:44.1 | Baldoni are just wiped out. There's people on the Blake lively side that are saying, well, |
| 0:50.8 | he won on a technicality. And the judge is saying, no, not really. And now, |
| 0:54.7 | there's going to be so much to break down here. We're not going to even begin to get all of it done today. We'll be working through the weekend.

| 1:11.1 | lawyers over the weekend and we'll get those pieces of content to you guys as we dive into the |
| 1:16.6 | details. But Justin Baldoni with a massive win. If you're new to my channel, we've been covering |
| 1:21.1 | Justin Baldoni versus Blake Lively since the bombshell allegations came out, what was a year |

| 1:29.2 | These allegations about harassment on set, a toxic workplace, you know, a smear campaign, |
| 1:37.3 | Blake, you know, colluding with the New York Times for months to get this story out without |
| 1:42.1 | giving Justin the chance to respond even. And then he |
| 1:46.6 | makes his claims and, you know, explains to people, all of the sort of allegations that were against |
| 1:53.8 | him were a bunch of nothing burgers. So again, now the judge is in agreement in part with |
| 1:59.3 | Baldoni. The judge does allow some of Blake lively's claims to go through. |
| 2:03.6 | We'll be getting to all of this. |
