Summary

Rush Hour Podcast — July 31st, 2025
On today's explosive episode of Rush Hour, we break down the breaking news that actor Justin Baldoni has officially shown up to Blake Lively's deposition, signaling a dramatic turn in the ongoing legal drama between Lively and a slew of online content creators. We also cover the eyebrow-raising development out of D.C. — the White House is reportedly building a ballroom. Yes, a ballroom, and the internet has questions. Plus, a proposed Congressional stock trading ban is gaining traction — and ruffling feathers on both sides of the aisle, as lawmakers scramble to protect their portfolios. It's chaos, it's drama, it's today's headlines all in one place.
