The gloves are OFF this afternoon on Rush Hour Podcast as even Joe Rogan starts calling out Donald Trump — and you know things are getting wild when THAT happens.
We break down Rogan's latest comments blasting Trump's Iran war as "insane" and leaving supporters feeling completely betrayed. () Is this the moment the tide starts to turn?
Meanwhile, the economic fallout is getting real. Spirit Airlines has officially collapsed after years of financial struggles, with rising fuel costs tied to the Iran conflict pushing it over the edge. () Thousands of jobs gone, passengers stranded, and now the big question: who's next?
And speaking of Iran — we dig into the latest on the failing war effort, skyrocketing costs, and the ripple effects hitting everyday Americans right where it hurts.
It's politics, chaos, and consequences — all in one episode you don't want to miss.
🎙️ Rush Hour Podcast — buckle up.

| 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. |
| 0:13.7 | Good afternoon, everybody, on this Monday, May 4th, 2026. May the 4th be with you. |
| 0:19.9 | We've got all of your updates for your rush hour ride home |
| 0:22.7 | recording from my mobile studio setup here in the Caribbean Sea. And we've got Joe Rogan. Does he |
| 0:29.0 | finally see the light? That's the question we've been asking for months now, as he flirts with |
| 0:35.4 | the idea that he may have endorsed what could be the |
| 0:38.9 | worst president of all time a president that is anti-free speech pro-war pro-tax pro-bombing fishermen |
| 0:48.4 | and schoolgirls it's a whole mess right and um we have joe rogan on the record saying well this is kind of weird right it's like whole mess, right? And we have Joe Rogan on the record saying, well, this is kind of weird, |
| 0:56.9 | right? It's like, yeah, no shit, Sherlock. So we're going to get into all of that. Plus, we have |
| 1:01.6 | Spirit Airlines, the effort to, I guess, nationalize the airline that has just gone under. And then |
| 1:07.7 | we've got a very interesting tweet from Benny Johnson regarding the updated |
| 1:13.2 | gerrymandering, which is leaving about a third of the country without a vote. I know. It's a lot. |

| 1:28.5 | Now, not so much. In fact, the podcast I've been a part of, Love Trapped, is now trending higher |
| 1:33.8 | at number three nationally over Joe Rogan. This afternoon, we covered Ben Shapiro and his company, |
| 1:42.6 | The Daily Wire, having to lay off over half of their workforce, |
| 1:46.6 | all because people are no longer loving what they're being told regarding why Trump's such |
| 1:52.4 | a great president, leading us into wars and all this other stuff. So we've kind of get to watch |
| 1:58.1 | in real time as Joe Rogan learns how to cope with the fact |
