Welcome back to the Rush Hour Podcast on this hump day. When you believe it, it's Wednesday, September 2, 2026. I got your news for your Rush Hour rights work, but I got to tell you right now, the second story I'm covering has so much going on, so it's regarding the war in Iran, that I'm just going to ask you guys to give me grace that by the time you listen to these updates, it could be completely changing. The second story of this morning is the IRGC, which is the Iranian military, claiming a mass casualty event that took place at a US military base in Jordan. Now it could be that this base was evacuated and it wasn't mass casualty. The one confirmation we seem to have at this point is that the US bombed a wedding and whether that was explicitly part of their targeting or we don't know the information,
but five casualties, five deaths, I should say, over 50 injuries at this point. So again, it's not the type of story you want to wake up to, it's tough as hell to cover. And it's pretty bleak out there. Trump with his tweet, I'm going to share with you guys, sounded like he left room for a nuke. I'm not here to make you guys feel afraid or any certain way. I'm just letting you know, give me a little grace on this story as a lot's going to be coming out regarding it. And we, as I'm reporting on it, I feel like I'm one of the first to covering it. Like mainstream news isn't even here yet. There's a lot of information being shared online. So take it not with the green assault, but take it with the fact that a lot of the reports coming out right now are yet to be verified. And it's a lot of propaganda coming from both sides of this war. Either way, I'm here to cover it for you guys. And then my first clip of the day is the Epstein files, Thomas Massey reading the names of several folks that may be co-conspirators. He wants them investigated and possibly charged, one of which is David Copperfield.
Again, innocent to proven guilty, but there's a lot of names in these Epstein files that have yet to come out. And Thomas Massey seemingly is done waiting. It's been a year since the file, since Trump, I keep it. I believe it's been a year. Does it even make sense since the Transparency Act was signed? I can't believe it's been a year. Either way, you know, it might sound bleak out there. And I always try to wrap this up in a boat for some positivity. It might sound bleak because there's a lot of dark forces working in our government, the war and all of that. Just remember that there's also a lot of kindness. There's a lot of love out there. And I'm not here to give you this news to bum you out, because we're hopefully on the right side of history. I truly believe it in my heart. We've kind of converted the channel from some silly, fun entertainment gossip news to some bigger issues that could affect our families, us, the economy, and so much more. So all of these updates are coming at you right now on The Rush. We have bombshell updates to the Epstein files as Thomas Massey is taking matters into
his own hands, deciding to release several names of co-conspirators that should be investigated. Now this doesn't mean that they are guilty of crimes, just that there's a lot of information revolving around these men I'm going to share with you. Let's have a listen to what Thomas Massey had to say. Then I'm going to share with you the new Transparency Act they're trying to get passed. And we've got some other updates regarding the Epstein files. Have a listen to Thomas Massey finally revealing the names after Trump has tried like hell to keep a lot of this from rising to the surface. For what purpose does the gentleman from Kentucky seek recognition? The man who has been sent to address the House for one minute. Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. Mr. Speaker, it's been a year since the President signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. And the government continues to withhold over three million files. That's why we've introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act to bring the fight to the state courts, accountability to the Department of Justice and closure for survivors.
We want perpetrators of these crimes to be investigated and prosecuted. Men like Jess Staley, Leon Black, Les Wexner, David Copperfield, Lapo Elkham, Tom Pritzker, Glenn Dubin, Frederick Fokai, Eduardo Teodoroni, John Luke Brinnell, conveniently dead by suicide in prison. Daniel C. Yon recently discovered dead in Paris, Ramsey, Elkholy, and Prince Andrew, who committed sex crimes in the United States, too. And women like Leslie Groff, not a victim, who conspired with Epstein to traffic other women. Perhaps hearing these names will shame the Department of Justice into delivering justice. I yield back. Wow. Right? I mean, look, you know, there's only certain ways in which Thomas Massey and other political leaders can share these names right now since they haven't been released. And I guess doing it through the House floor gives him some sort of immunity. I do want to share with you guys who these folks are. In some cases, you may not know.
Now, of course, David Copperfield, that's the David Copperfield. He has repeated contact with Epstein and Jillian Maxwell. An accuser met him at Epstein's home and said he asked whether she knew girls were paid to recruit other girls. Epstein's records show numerous messages involving quote unquote, magic David released photos appear to show David Copperfield with she laid Maxwell on Epstein's island. FBI records described Copperfield and Epstein as having a quote unquote very close relationship. David Copperfield denies knowing about Epstein's crimes has never been charged with an Epstein related offense. And again, he's on the list. Now, who are these other folks? Jess Staley, former CEO of Barclays and senior JP Morgan executive. He maintained a close personal and professional relationship with Epstein and exchange extensive emails with him. Leon Black, billionaire co-founder of Apollo Global Management. He paid Epstein approximately $158 million for tax in estate planning services after Epstein's
2008 conviction. Black says he had no involvement in Epstein's crimes. Pretty sketchy. Less Wexner, billionaire founder of L Brands, the former owner of Victoria's Secret. Epstein managed his finances, held power of eternity and acquired Wexner's Manhattan mansion. Wexner says he severed ties after discovering Epstein had misappropriated money. And of course, we share David Copperfield. Joanna Schoberg testified that she met Copperfield at a dinner at Epstein's home. And she's one of the victims of the Epstein files. Lapo Elkan, Italian businessman, socialite and heir to the Fiat-associated Agnelli family. His name and communications appear in Epstein-related records that does not alone prove criminal conduct. Tom Pritzker, billionaire chairman of Hyatt Hotels, member of the prominent Pritzker family, somehow related to JD. It could be JD's uncle, JD Pritzker, Virginia Jew Frey, alleged Epstein directed her to have sex with him. Pritzker denies the allegation. Of course, Virgin is you Frey has died.
Glenn Dubin, billionaire hedge fund manager and Epstein associate, you Frey alleged she was trafficked to him. Dubin strongly denied it and he has not been charged. Frederick Fick, Fickay, celebrity hairstylist, beauty industry entrepreneur. He moved in Epstein's social circles and appears in correspondence and contact records. No criminal charge has been brought against him. Eduardo Fabri, Italian businessman with connections to the Agnelli Fiat business network, released emails, document communications and travel arrangements involving Epstein and women in the circle. Reporting has noted that this does not establish wrongdoing. John Ligbrunel, French modeling agent whose MC2 agency was financed by Epstein. Numbers woman accused him of sexual assault and recruiting young women for Epstein. He was charged in France but died in jail in 2022 before the trial. Daniel C. Ad, French modeling scout who communicated frequently with Epstein about models. Several women accused him of the R-word and trafficking. He denied the allegation and died in 2026 while French authorities were investigating.
Ramsey Elcoli, musician anthropologist and former New York modeling agency agent. Records show him introducing young adult women in models to Epstein. Prince Andrew, former British prince and Duke of York, Virginia Jew Frey alleged Epstein in Chilean Maxwell trafficked her to Andrew when she was 17. Andrew denied the allegation and settled Jew Frey's civil lawsuit without admitting liability. Leslie Graf, Epstein's longtime executive assistant from 2001. Until 2019, she scheduled appointments including massages. It was protected as a potential co-conspirator in Epstein's controversial 2007 non-prossecution agreement. She was never charged and denied knowing about or facilitating abuse. A mixture of billionaires and celebrities who had associated with Epstein, employees who helped run his operation, modeling world and all of that. Now, that doesn't mean that's all that they are there. But those are the ones that Thomas Massey says, hey, let's get the ball rolling.
Let's investigate. Let's kick around and find out if there's any more ties. Maybe there's a world where a lot of the victims haven't wanted to come out because of threats of retribution and revenge. How interesting is this. One of the Twitter accounts being paid by Trump's Pentagon, cynical Publius, along with several other accounts. We covered this story yesterday, but Donald Trump's Pentagon is using our tax dollars to pay Republican influencers to pedal propaganda for them. How about this from cynical Publius? Last year, there is no Epstein list. There never was. People need to learn to face reality. Well, I'm sorry, then who the hell are these people? Like what? So again, our tax dollars has gone to these smear campaigns to try to remove people from office like Thomas Massey. Thomas Massey said this, the Department of War was covertly working with this man while he was electioneering against me. I remember when we had a judiciary subcommittee
called the weaponization of government and Republicans were aghast that Biden's DOD was paying to influence the internet in the US. So here he is, before Massey's primary, cynical Publius ran a relentless anti-massey campaign calling him a toxic narcissist has supported dimwits, even linked Massey fans to anti-semitism. Turns out he's Thomas R. Anderson listed in the Pentagon assigned to a Department of Defense office the entire time. That's right, our tax dollars have gone to the disinformation campaign to remove people from office that have been trying to get the Epstein files released. So now we have Thomas Massey warning Speaker Mike Johnson might send everyone home to avoid another vote on the Epstein files. Could you imagine that? Thomas Massey posted this yesterday, Rokana and I launched a discharge petition to collect 218 signatures to force a vote on Epstein files Transparency Act 2. This isn't a repeat, folks, this is a new act. Now there are rumors that Speaker Mike Johnson will soon recess the house until after the midterm elections
to avoid the vote. And again, once the elections are over, unless Trump is able to rig the elections as he's desperately trying to do, if you didn't see that, go check out my earlier video today on the United States Postal Service and now Trump's got a new software he's trying to use with them. I know I sound crazy, but that's what's that. But if you aren't caught up on all these stories, it is just insane what sort of wave of accountability is set to hit this Trump administration if enough folks get into office that can, I guess, shine a light on all of the corruption. And you could point a finger in any direction, whether it's the cryptocurrency, the blowing up of people, the deporting of people without due process, the fact that ICE has literally murdered Americans with no justice whatsoever to the war in Iran and all of the reckless rhetoric that's going on with the trade war with Canada. I mean, one thing after another, and then we got the Epstein files. Trump says, oh, we're really small. Then they just trickle some info out
and then they're supposed to be done with it. So instead to avoid the conversation, he starts a war. So they're calling Abdul El Sayed evil. That's right. JD Vance says that Abdul El Sayed is the epitome of evil. And I wanted to share Abdul's response, which is perfect by the way, which is evil is withholding the Epstein files. Like this administration is evil. Have a listen. Abdul El Sayed, and thank you, sir, for being here. First off, do you want to respond to what the vice president said today saying that there is something that is quote, very, very evil about you? Well, let me tell you what's evil. Evil is the idea of starting wars when there is peace. Evil is the idea of stripping away people's health care when they absolutely have no other option. What's evil is to do that so that you can pass a tax cut for billionaires. What's evil is putting a data center that people don't want in their backyard, despite them. What's evil is corrupting yourself because you want a little bit more power. And at the end of the day, this whole conversation,
frankly, it's a distraction. Disadstruction from Michiganders are really worried about. They're worried that they can't afford their gas because of this trade war with Canada or because of this hot war with Iran that they got us into. They're worried that they can't see a doctor because they're about to lose their Medicaid. They're worried that their kid is being priced out of playing baseball. So if the vice president would like to actually get on to governing, he's welcome to do that. But to come to Michigan from Ohio, where he's from, to tell us that we ought to pay for a vanity trade war that his president is spiking with Canada, well, that's a little bit beyond the pale. And I think he can go take himself back to Ohio where apparently they like politics like that. Kind of refreshing to hear every once in a while, a politician that's able to call out the administration and the fact that they're doing some David Copperfield level sleight of hands. You like how I tied that all together? And not addressing the real issues that we face. So again, we're going to continue watching these Epstein files. Chances are they're not going to be fully released
until Trump's long dead. I mean, that's just the truth. But we're going to either see why he's so busy keeping his name out of it. Is it just because he's got billionaire friends or is it more likely that if they can't nab him on any sexual crimes, there's probably tons of, I don't know, money laundering and all the other things that these rich billionaires do. So again, we'll be here to cover those stories. Hit the subscribe button. We've got war updates coming next. We've got massive breaking news to get to regarding the war
in Iran as reports are now flying in of a mass casualty event. This is a nightmare scenario we have been talking about for literal months now, which is continue meddling in a war we cannot win expect tragedy. We don't have the confirmation of how many or if any at all have been killed, although what is being said now by the Iranian IRGC is that this is a mass casualty event at a camp in Akhaba, Jordan, which is where the Marines and Army have a training base. We're going to get to all of the details we know. US Medevac helicopters flying overhead direct hits from missiles all retaliation because the United States today decided to escalate and bombed a wedding ceremony happening in Iran. We're going to get into this entire story right now. Hit the subscribe button and guys, I do not say any of this likely, but this is such an insane world we live in that we
can be following this hour by hour online. And the mainstream media seemingly doesn't even have a story up. Hasn't even verified that all this is going down. So again, let's just try to parse out what we know, what's rumor and what you won't go from here. Breaking news, Iran's IRGC announced that a large number of US forces were killed. And several key US facilities and attack helicopters were destroyed in a heavy ballistic missile strike on the American Marine base at Camp Depp, Tabitin in Jordan, located on the coast of the Gulf of Akhaba per Tasmeen, Tasnim news. Again, this is the Iranian news, their government news. So I'm not saying take this with a grain of salt. It just hasn't been confirmed yet. What we do know is the Trump administration is doing nothing to provide transparency about casualties coming from this war. So I don't expect Trump to admit defeat in any way whatsoever.
But that's how we got in this tragedy in the first place. Ego and Trump's inability to understand when to get the hell out. The IRGC also announced that the strike inflicted significant damage on the base and its military infrastructure. So here is the camp Titan, Titan or Titan, is a small US Marine Corps facility near the Gulf of Akhaba in Jordan that was targeted in a reported ballistic missile attack by Iran's Islamic Republic Guard Corps. Here it is on the map very close to Israel right there on the southwestern coast of Jordan. And again, we don't have any visual confirmations of damage that may have been done there at the camp. But we do have video of a missile being struck. Let me turn the volume down right here. But look at this breaking news footage shows a direct Iranian ballistic missile impact in Akhaba, Jordan. Likely targeting the King Hussein International Airport used by US forces.
I'm not sure if the airport that they're speaking of is next to that same base. Again, a lot of information being thrown around right now. But here's what drop site news has. I find them extremely credible. Iran's IRGC says it launched a heavy barrage of ballistic missiles, a base used by US Marines near Akhaba in southern Jordan in retaliation for the US attack on a wedding ceremony in Zurich. I'm going to cover the wedding ceremony attack in a moment. The IRGC described the strike as the second wave of its punishment of the aggressor operation, claiming heavy US casualties in the destruction of military facilities and attack helicopters. Those claims have not been independently verified. Let's make that clear. We'll have an update if that verification comes in. Iranian officials reported that the wedding attack killed four people, including a child in wounded 50. That number is going to go up. The IRGC accused Washington of turning the celebration into a scene of bloodshed instead of retaliation was continuing. Cam Titan is near the Gulf of Akhaba close to Israel's port of Alat in the Saudi border.
My apologies for getting these names wrong. US military records document American Marines training there alongside Jordanian forces, including the Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Team Central Command, or FASCENT, US military records. Tasnim separately claims Washington had relocated some forces to the camp after disruptions to its Persian Gulf supply routes. That redeployment claim also remains unverified. So it could be that this casualty event could be worse than expected. There could have been more troops there than previously known. If the rumors are true about ballistic missiles impacts at this camp, Jordan, which is an active joint US marine army training base, they may have a mass casualty event. Very small, but was expanded before the conflict and there were still active deployments there recently. Here we have some video footage of American Medevac helicopters transporting injured soldiers in Jordan. Again, unverified footage going online when there's mass casualty events and big events happening.
There's a term of course fog of war, but then there's a fog on the internet where everything's being thrown around and you're trying to see what's new versus what's old footage. Bricks News reported that Iran warns Bahrain and Kuwait that gifts are on the way following the US attacks. Iran's army releases footage of the strikes on the US base in Bahrain. Here were multiple drones launched. So they've got drone strikes coming in. And this is what's kind of crazy, right? Is that we've got these multimillion dollar missile defense systems that have to attack and be fired off when there are ballistic missiles being shot and drones and it might be that Iran might be throwing the kitchen sink. Several drones go this way. Another ballistic missile goes that way and you almost have to pick and choose what you can shoot down. This is the reality of modern warfare where watching our history books be written in real time. I can't state this enough how insane this world is. Iran's army firing drones at US base in Bahrain.
Moments ago, public relations of the army and the 29th phase of the thunder operation and in response to the enemy's aggression against southern regions of the country, the army of the Islamic Republic of Iran, a few hours ago, targeted radar facilities in centers where US terrorists forces are stationed at the Shikis of base in Bahrain with a large number of attack drones. The Shikis of base in Bahrain is one of the most important and sensitive US bases in the Persian Gulf region. It's a major center for the repairs and maintenance of helicopters and drone parts and a host recon aircraft. The soldiers of the army of the Islamic Republic of Iran have responded decisively and extensively to the enemy's acts of aggression and they will take severe and regrettable revenge on the aggressors. So that's from the Iranian PR reports. Again, oh, we already got that, the video of the, what might be, hold on, is this a separate video? My apologies. Reports are emerging that helicopters, okay, yeah, this is what the same video I shared before.
Helicopters are evacuating American casualties. Again, these reports unverified right now. The Sayyed Mohammed Morandi posted that there were two martyrs confirmed in the US attack on the wedding ceremony, Trump's satanic forces bombed a wedding in the city of Kuh-Hestak. Now that number two has gone up to at least five dead. Here's another statement they made. The terrorist and defeated military of the United States unable to directly confront the warriors of Islam, brutally attacked a residential house in Sirik. We're a wedding of two innocent young civilians took place, resulting in the martyrdom and wounding of nearly 50 of our dear people, bringing back memories of the barbarity of the Manab school attack. The child killing American regime once again revealed the depths of its hatred and enmity towards the Iranian people by killing several people, including a young child in this criminal attack. In response to this evil act, the act, the brave fighters of the IRGC Aerospace Force, in the second wave of punishing the aggressor
with the Operation Code Ya Mohammed Abdulah, launched a heavy ballistic missile attack on the US Marine Barrican Jordan known as Camp Tipton, located on the shore of the Gulf of Akhaba, sending a large number of American forces to hell and destroying several important installations, including enemy attack helicopters. The retaliatory operations of the warriors of Islam still continue. Look, folks, I understand how heavy this is to read. We're literally reading the propaganda from the Iranian government. The reports that are online, the unverified information that's coming out that the US bombed a wedding in that they responded by bombing a military base with mass casualties. Let me know if, let me know what you guys think in the comments section with regards to if there's a better way to be reporting this, but I truly feel as though we, we as citizens are almost having to go find this information
out and piece it together. I find it very unreliable. And this might be what Trump's administration wants, right? They don't want the transparency. They don't want cameras to show American flags draped over coffins as soldiers return home from a war that was completely unnecessary, a war that'll leave kids wondering when dad's coming home or when mom's coming home. Dad's away for a little while. He'll come back and then he doesn't. And then the kids don't understand that. And very much so, likewise in Iran, an innocent family celebrating a wedding. How instantly, what could have been, if this story is true, what could have been the happiest moment of a family's life quickly turned into the most tragic? There's no way to cope with the senselessness of this war. Trump said this a few hours ago, the United States is as we speak, striking Iranian targets near the straight of Hormuz.
The strikes are large and powerful and in retaliation for the Iranians failed attempt at adding sea mines to the strait, which currently has no mines. They have been completely removed or detonated. The Iranians shooting eight missiles, all successfully knocked down at our military base in Jordan. At the failed nation of Iran retaliates for this very justified attack. They will be hit again at a much harder and higher level. It will not be the biggest attack of them all. That is waiting in the wings. And when it is over, there will be very little left of the Islamic Republic of Iran, President Donald J. Trump. Now, what we're seeing here, of course, has been the escalation by Trump starting Sunday night. We expected last night for there to be the second round of attacks. It didn't happen. We thought, oh, maybe this is a taco. We appreciate a taco. We don't want the war. We don't want any of this to go on. And then, of course, today they follow through. Now, what's crazy is this entire war at this point is being fought over oil. The flow of oil and fertilizer and other rare earth minerals going through, petrochemicals, going through the straight of Hormuz.
But for the first time ever, the petroleum, the EIA, which shows the sort of monthly use, the data for petroleum supply, their website is down, unprecedented. This has never happened before. This is not real-time data. This is June data. They said this, we're currently experiencing operational issues with how our back end and public facing systems interact. We will publish a petroleum supply monthly covering data for June 2026 in September 2026, once we validate the data. So they need to validate the data. To me, that means they're going to lie. They're going to change the data because they're going to continue taking petroleum out of the strategic petroleum reserves way past the allowable level. And they're going to continue doing that because we don't have energy. Diesel is set to reach a historic level. Oil prices are spiking. And they, the government, needs to do their communism that they're doing, even though they're claiming that the socialists are the problem, right?
They're doing the government control to suppress prices. To keep us asleep, hit the subscribe button, share with a friend, get the word out, whether it's my channel or someone else's because the more pressure we as citizens can put on our elected leaders, hopefully the faster this bloodshed can end. So this was the first time in the history that a quote unquote technical issue preventive the release of this data. This is like the moon landing for commodities. That's right. There it is, a delay of the data. They want, they're lying to us by omitting, you know, how reckless this wartime decision actually was. Oil is on the way to the moon. $100 as the US attacks Iran during trading hours. Their, this guy says we're going to get a taco and a short attack to push it all back down. I mean, at some point there, there's going to be no more money to be doing these short attacks, which are proving not to work in the treasury. Huge amounts of munitions are being expended by the US and Iranian sides during today's round of escalation.
Very severe increase compared to what we saw in the last 72 hours. It is unlikely that this is able to now be contained to the previous quote unquote warm conflict we saw over the past month. This is a tacit admission from Trump that the blockade and maximum pressure sanctions were not going to be able to produce significant enough effects in a timeline that was viable for the global economy. Essentially, this economic D-Day that they planned just wasn't going to work. So this is the first time Iran has attacked the Camp Titan, Titan, which houses US Marine Corps. As the base doesn't have major military assets, it is undoubtedly lacks air defenses against ballistic missiles. This means that if any soldiers were present at the base, they almost certainly suffered casualties as a result of the attack. However, it is highly likely that the base had been completely evacuated before the US air strikes began. So there's a positive. Hopefully the IRGC is full of shit and no Americans were killed here. However, it is highly likely that the base had been evacuated. They said regarding the circulating video showing an emergency rescue helicopter,
there's no evidence that it originated from Camp Titan or was transporting wounded American soldiers. So apologies for all of the information that's literally all over the place, but that's where we're at right now. That is where we are at right now. Here's Naurani and Missile hitting Akhaba directly. Again, this is the information being shared, unverified. But it's important to hear the sounds of war. It's important to not be sanitized from what's actually going on on the other side of the world due to our government's reckless actions. So folks, hit the subscribe button. We'll probably be back again tonight when we have any information that we can share to update you guys. We will do that. I'm literally checking as we speak. Look, I mean, honestly, a moment ago, we've got explosions in Kuwait, reports of Iran firing missiles and drones at the US base in Kuwait. So this literally has come out one minute ago. And again, as we find out, any more information we'll be here to cover it.
The war on Iran has broken Kuwait's economy. Kuwait's government issued a decree allowing it to borrow from its $1 trillion plus sovereign wealth fund in order to support state finances. So the entire Middle East is poor and in worse condition off. Now that Trump has continued to escalate this war. Here, Akhaba, Jordan Airport, hit by direct missile. I think we shared a different angle of this video going after the P-8s and drones that moved from Bahrain avoided the heavy air defenses at Muafak, Al-Salti. So here's just more footage of these medium range ballistic missiles hitting targets moments ago. We'll give updates as they come. God bless and thoughts and prayers to everybody that's out there. The innocent lives, the scared families huddling. You know, huddling amongst themselves, not understanding how the night's going to go. This could all be avoided. And we need to continue speaking up. This isn't a time to rally around nationalism
and make this a US versus them. If it's true that these mass casualties happened, we need to pray that this doesn't lead to a much greater escalation that could lead to years and years and years of money just pissed down the drain, spent on a war that could just be avoided. It's just such a reckless, reckless abuse of power by Trump, a war that nobody voted for, a war that nobody wants. Get our troops, the fuck out of the Middle East. We'll be back with updates as they come. I'm Dave and this is The Rush.
