About this episode

It's the morning edition of The Rush Hour Podcast, and the cracks are getting harder to hide.

We break down the latest updates from the war in Iran as Donald Trump appears to quietly acknowledge what his administration won't say out loud: this war hasn't gone according to plan. After all the promises, threats, and declarations of victory, reality is beginning to catch up with the White House.

Then, we head to Michigan, where Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is surging in his campaign for U.S. Senate and delivering a powerful message about the politics of division. Trump and MAGA have spent years leaning on racism, Islamophobia, and fear to divide Americans—but El-Sayed's campaign is making the case that those attacks may be losing their power.

Is America finally moving past the politics of fear? And is Trump discovering that the old MAGA playbook just doesn't hit like it used to?

We've got a packed morning show. Let's get into it.
