On this morning's episode of The Rush Hour Podcast, the Bachelor world is in full meltdown mode as Game of Roses steps in to defend me amid the growing controversy surrounding Nick Viall and the alleged dirty deletes from Viall Files. Did the internet catch Nick trying to rewrite history in real time? We break down the backlash, the receipts, and why more creators are finally speaking up.
Plus, Blake Lively suffers yet another legal setback as new developments continue to raise questions about her strategy in the ongoing Justin Baldoni battle. Is the pressure starting to mount behind the scenes?
And Donald Trump is back in attack mode, once again calling reporters "stupid" during another chaotic exchange with the press corps. We unpack the latest media meltdown, the reactions online, and what it says about the current political climate.
All that and more on today's Rush Hour Podcast.

| 0:22.2 | Blake lively in the search for a victory. She's looking long and hard. Here we have a |
| 0:28.5 | lawyer in Texas giving her a little bit of a shutdown. I'll share that. Plus, I got totally |
| 0:34.3 | glazed by the Game of Roseoses podcast over my coverage of the Bachelor |
| 0:39.3 | Clayton Eckerd drama. I'm going to share multiple clips of what they had to say in defending |
| 0:44.1 | me after my name was deleted by Bachelor Small Time podcaster Nick Vial. If you enjoy |
