  • Excellent Show!

    I discovered you through Reality Steve during the Laura Owen’s drama. Now I’m here every day for the politics. You and Aaron Parnas are my top two guys for news. The news can be so frustrating and depressing, but you manage to deliver it in a way that makes me smile and laugh. Thanks Dave!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

9-29-26 Morning Rush - My Chat With Keith Edwards, A Convo About Saving Democracy!
Q: What does a diesel export ban actually mean for prices and supply in the U.S. and abroad?
It could slow price spikes in some markets but would also create a complex, uneven effect due to regional refinery capacity and different diesel grades; in the near term it risks higher prices where supply is tight, while possibly stabilizing others that rely on imports.

Q: Can you speak about the US strikes on the Iranian tankers and explain what the back and forth has been in the last 24 hours?
The guest explains that Iran continues attempting to strike U.S. naval vessels and that each attempt is met with countermeasures; the broader point is that the dynamic is a cycle of retaliation with significant implications for global shipping and oil routes, while emphasizing the ongoing escalation and the risk of further retaliation.
