Rush To Reason

Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. Hour One of https://RushToReason.com reviews three movies with three very different reactions. And one review you won't see coming. Guest host Andy Peth, alongside Luke Cashman and Tanner Coleman, takes listeners through this week's Friday 5-Star Movie Reviews — where films aren't judged by hype, but by quality, political themes, and moral impact. Andy kicks things off with How to Make a Killing, a dark comedy about an heir plotting his way to a fortune. Next comes I Can Only Imagine 2, the faith-based sequel exploring struggle, parenting, and perseverance. Finally, Andy unleashes his strongest reaction of the day with Psycho Killer, calling it one of the worst films he's seen in years.

HOUR 1 Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with a bold challenge: are we being told the full truth about our health—or just the convenient version? John Rush is joined by Dr. Kelly Victory, an independent physician and nationally recognized public health expert, for a wide-ranging and provocative conversation. Should some prescription drugs—like antibiotics—be available over the counter? Would it lower costs and restore patient freedom, or create new risks? Then the discussion pivots to hormone replacement therapy. Is declining testosterone or estrogen just “normal aging,” or are people suffering unnecessarily? And how do you pursue hormone therapy safely—without falling for clinic hype? The hour turns more intense as they examine rising cancer rates, particularly in younger adults. Is it a coincidence, lifestyle, COVID itself, or the mRNA shots? Dr. Kelly outlines concerns about immune disruption, lipid nanoparticles, and batch inconsistencies. What can people do now? Are antibody tests and certain supplements worth considering? If you've ever felt like key details are missing from the mainstream narrative, this episode asks the hard questions—without apology. Websites Mentioned * https://LabCorp.com * https://howbadismybatch.com HOUR 2 Hour 2 turns up the heat. John Rush welcomes Alvin Louie, President of Courage Is a Habit, for a tactical breakdown of what he calls “language deconstruction.” Are cultural debates—especially around transgender ideology—being won not by facts, but by redefining words? Alvin shares a provocative role-play and a six-month social experiment designed to expose what he believes are manipulative debate tactics. How do you avoid getting dragged into the “swamp” and losing moral clarity? Then John pivots to media accountability. With the FCC reportedly scrutinizing The View over equal-time rules, what exactly is the Fairness Doctrine—and could it apply to late-night hosts, too? If one political candidate gets airtime, should the opponent automatically get the same? The hour closes with strong commentary on circumcision, religious doctrine, and a viral controversy involving an Islamic scholar condemning dog ownership. Are we witnessing cultural confusion—or a deeper ideological shift? If you care about free speech, faith, media bias, and parental authority, this hour demands your attention. Guest Timestamps * 1:17 – Alvin Louie - https://courageisahabit.org HOUR 3 Hour 3 opens with Jerzee Joe delivering a sharp economic perspective: Why do nations with the same geography end up worlds apart economically? From Haiti vs. the Dominican Republic to East vs. West Berlin, is government the defining factor between prosperity and collapse? The conversation intensifies with analysis of media silence surrounding controversial political rhetoric, questions about crime trends, and ongoing investigations tied to Black Lives Matter leadership. Are Americans getting the full story—or just curated headlines? Then, energy policy takes center stage as Kenny Stein, Vice President of Policy at the American Energy Alliance and the Institute for Energy Research, joins the program. What did the Trump administration actually roll back in EPA regulations? Were EV mandates quietly being imposed through regulatory backdoors? Why are hybrid vehicles outperforming fully electric models in a true free-market environment? And did Toyota outsmart Detroit by refusing to chase political trends? From governance and urban decline to energy freedom and the realities of the auto industry, this hour challenges narratives and asks: What happens when policy overrides the marketplace?

HOUR 1 Hour 1 of Rush To Reason dives straight into Health and Wellness Wednesday, blending financial clarity, mental resilience, and physical health in a way only John Rush can. Financial expert Al Smith of Golden Eagle Financial (https://goldeneaglefinancialltd.com/) joins the show to unpack a critical question: can AI really guide your retirement and risk planning, or is it dangerously incomplete without human insight? How much risk is right at 50, 60, or 70—and why is “one-size-fits-all” such a trap? The hour then takes a powerful, personal turn as John and Luke Cashman tackle mental health, responsibility, and resilience, sharing real-life experiences about pressure, inherited depression, short fuses, and learning how to manage life's “dark clouds.” What's the difference between having a bad day and true clinical depression—and why do these conversations matter more than we admit? Health expert Dr. Julie Gatz of Florida Wellness Institute (https://naturessources.com/dr-julie-gatza/) rounds out the hour with eye-opening insights into aging, digestion, brain health, and nutrition. Why do meals suddenly feel heavier as we age? Are we overfed—but undernourished? And could decades of dietary advice have missed something essential to our hormones and mental clarity? This hour challenges assumptions—and invites listeners to rethink health from the inside out. Guest Timestamps * Al Smith – Golden Eagle Financial: 2:18 * Luke Cashman - Mental Health: 11:21 * Dr. Julie Gatz – Florida Wellness Institute: 30:34 HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason opens with a powerful history lesson as Richard Battle (Https://RichardBattle.com), makes the case for restoring George Washington's Birthday as a standalone national holiday. Why has America blurred the legacy of its greatest leader—and what do we lose when Washington's character, sacrifice, and refusal of power are forgotten? Battle explains why Washington remains unmatched. The hour intensifies as Sunny Kutcher of Young Americans Against Socialism (https://yaas.org) joins John Rush for a hard-hitting discussion on free childcare, public education, Marxism, and government overreach. Is “free” ever really free—and who ultimately pays the price? Using New York City as a test case, they break down massive budgets, rising taxes, and political promises that don't add up. How do fear-based narratives spread so easily, and what happens when facts are ignored? This hour challenges history, culture, and power—and asks listeners to decide where government should stop. Guest Timestamps * Richard Battle – Author/Historian: 1:13 * Al Smith – Golden Eagle Financial: 11:48 * Sunny Kutcher – Young Americans Against Socialism: 28:13 HOUR 3 Hour 3 moves fast and hits hard, opening with Jay Towne, former U.S. Attorney and legal analyst for Newsmax, who breaks down the SAVE Act and dismantles viral claims about voter suppression. What's real, what's flat-out false. The conversation widens into media bias, algorithm-driven news feeds, and the collapse of critical thinking, asking how democracy survives when headlines replace facts. The hour then pivots to aviation safety and merit, as John takes on DEI hiring in the cockpit and reacts to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's warning: competence matters when lives are on the line. Are airlines lowering standards—and should passengers be concerned? Economic reality follows as Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capital (https://www.bentpinecapital.com/) explains why inflation is cooling, inventories are piling up, and why high interest rates—not tariffs—are crushing discretionary spending. The hour closes with sharp cultural commentary—asking one final question: has common sense completely left the building?

John Rush and Andy Peth dive into a Rhode Island shooting that John argues hasn't been fully scrutinized—and ask why certain details seem to vanish from the national conversation. From there, the discussion expands into mental health, accountability, and whether ideology is replacing honest diagnosis in moments of crisis. A key turning point comes with listener calls that raise uncomfortable but timely questions: What happens when courts, insurance companies, and malpractice risk start driving decisions faster than politics? Could lawsuits—and not legislation—be the real force that changes the system? And why do parents and students feel pressured into silence in schools when they disagree? The hour also pivots to real-world danger closer to home, as deadly wind-driven accidents on Colorado highways highlight how denial of weather, risk, or reality—can turn tragic fast. By the end of the hour, John challenges listeners on both sides of the aisle: are we willing to confront hard truths, or will we keep blaming tools instead of addressing the people and systems failing in plain sight? HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason zeroes in on power, accountability, and who really controls the system. John Rush and Andy Peth are joined by Mark Mix of the National Right to Work Committee (https://nrtwc.org/), who breaks down why Virginia's move to expand public-sector union power could have sweeping consequences nationwide. From rising taxpayer costs to unions acting as unelected power brokers, Mark explains why government unions are fundamentally different from private ones—and why voters often have no real leverage. The hour then pivots to election integrity as Priscilla Rahn joins the conversation to walk listeners through the SAVE Act. She tackles claims that voter ID laws suppress women and minorities, explains what the bill actually requires, and argues that restoring trust—not restricting access—is the real goal. The discussion widens to messaging failures, young voter confusion, and why fear-based narratives may be driving people away from the ballot box altogether. If confidence in elections is broken, can participation survive—and who benefits when voters stay home? Guest Timestamps * Mark Mix (National Right to Work Committee) — 1:10 * Priscilla Rahn (KLTT Radio Host) — 44:40 HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason opens with a sharp clash over gun rights, mental illness, and constitutional limits, as John Rush and Andy Peth respond to listener pushback and challenge what they see as selective logic on public safety and freedom. From there, the hour pivots into a bold defense of the two-party system, arguing that fragmentation and “purity politics” weaken conservatives while collectivists consolidate power. Drawing on examples from Europe, Israel, and Colorado, John explains why fewer choices can actually protect individual liberty. The conversation then shifts to Colorado legislation that could legalize prostitution statewide, sparking an unusually nuanced debate. John and Andy weigh personal liberty against cultural fallout, marriage stability, addiction, public health, and how law-enforcement resources are really being used. A call from Andrew in Greeley adds another layer—raising questions about taxpayer responsibility and unintended consequences. Are conservatives fighting this issue with the wrong arguments? And when one side controls every lever of power, does the debate even matter anymore?

John Rush and Jerzee Joe, an experienced pilot, explain why this flight represented a near worst-case scenario—nighttime conditions, instrument weather, mountain terrain, and a notoriously unforgiving airport. What turns a flight into a clear “no-go,” and how does pressure push even experienced pilots toward dangerous decisions? The conversation expands into aviation judgment, “get-there-itis,” and why impatience can be deadly in the air or on the road. John then pivots to Colorado realities, including high winds, power shutoffs, and why being prepared for 24 hours without electricity is simple common sense. The hour closes with a thoughtful debate on Broomfield's proposed RV parking ordinance. Is it government overreach—or a necessary step to protect neighborhoods and property values while balancing compassion? Where does responsibility meet regulation? Guest Timestamps • Jerzee Joe – 13:46 HOUR 2 Hour 2 delivers a fast-moving mix of culture, policy, and performance as Ann Schlafly of Eagle Forum (https://eagleforum.org) joins John to react to a surprising shift from the New York Times on marijuana legalization. Have the risks of high-THC marijuana been ignored for too long? Ann explains why today's cannabis is far more potent—and dangerous—than what existed decades ago. John then answers listener questions about marijuana crossing state lines and whether law enforcement cooperation is unconstitutional or simply the reality of states' rights. That theme of accountability continues with a pointed discussion on toll evasion, obscured license plates, and expired tags. The hour lightens with Richard Rush, covering Michael Jordan's Daytona 500 win, whether NASCAR needs a reboot, and standout moments from the Winter Olympics.

Was it just a balloon—or a warning sign? Ammon details how Mexican cartels are now using advanced drone warfare tactics learned from Ukraine, exposing major blind spots along the southern border and even near U.S. military installations. The hour continues with callers weighing in on aviation safety, unrest in Iran, and the human cost rarely seen in headlines. John then challenges climate-alarm narratives tied to Trump policy reversals, questioning multibillion-dollar cost projections for Colorado. The show closes with a hard look at the everyday consequences of progressive policy—from rising vehicle costs driven by federal mandates to Denver's controversial bike lanes.

Friday means 5-Star Movie Reviews with Andy Peth, and this week delivers a bold triple feature that spans dystopian AI, zombie horror, and anime-inspired revenge. Andy opens with Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, a bizarre, near-future warning about artificial intelligence run amok. While Andy praises Sam Rockwell's brilliant, manic performance and stunning CGI payoff, he doesn't hold back on calling out its flaws. Next up is Cold Storage, where a space fungus turns humans into zombies. Andy highlights solid pacing, fun gross-out effects, and a reliable action turn from Liam Neeson, but Andy can't give it 5 stars. Find out why. The hour wraps with Scarlet, a visually striking anime reimagining of Hamlet featuring a warrior princess caught between vengeance and forgiveness. Andy applauds the epic scale, villain, and emotional weight, but criticizes its heavy-handed pacifist messaging and talky middle. This film will spark debates long after the credits have rolled. The result? Which one, if any are worth your time? Andy breaks it all down. Movie Review Timestamps * 13:35 — Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die * 25:56 — Cold Storage * 37:36 — Scarlet HOUR 2 Hour 2 opens with sharp energy as John, Andy, and Richard dive into what went wrong with a Super Bowl that felt more flat than fierce. Was it elite defense—or just an uncompetitive mismatch? And can one brutal game permanently rattle a young quarterback? From there, the conversation pivots into pop culture, Super Bowl commercials, and the bigger question: why does Hollywood feel so uninspired right now? Where did the great romantic comedies go? Why do movies feel longer, heavier, and less fun? Andy argues that weak writing, preachy messaging, and the disappearance of true comedy are draining entertainment of its joy. Then the mood flips. The crew launches into a Valentine's-themed love-song segment packed with movie memories, nostalgia, listener calls, and playful banter. Which songs still hit emotionally? Which movies defined romance for an entire generation? And can classic storytelling—whether in music or film—still connect when modern Hollywood seems to miss the mark? It's funny, opinionated, nostalgic, and unexpectedly revealing. One hour, big questions—about sports, culture, creativity, and what we've lost along the way.

HOUR 1 Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with intensity as John Rush is joined by Dr. Kelly Victory, an independent physician known for challenging mainstream medical narratives. Together, they tackle explosive questions about medical ethics, patient trust, and whether ideology is creeping into health care decisions. Can patients be treated differently based on political beliefs—and who holds providers accountable if that happens? The conversation pivots to a disturbing trend: the sharp rise in aggressive colon cancer among adults under 50. Why now? Dr. Kelly breaks down immune dysfunction, delayed screening guidelines, and why early detection may matter more than ever. They also examine vaccines through a strict risk-versus-benefit lens, questioning long-term effects, unresolved scientific gaps, and why so many questions were never answered before the mandates were rolled out. As the hour closes, the focus shifts to personal choice versus government control, including whether states should set their own vaccine rules—and what that could mean for families deciding where to live. Is the public finally asking the questions it should have asked years ago? HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason is a fast-moving, no-filter breakdown of viral memes, cultural flashpoints, and the history many headlines leave out. John takes on trending social media claims—from Super Bowl halftime outrage to religious and political memes—asking a simple question: do these slogans survive even basic fact-checking? Drawing on history, economics, and plain logic, Rush challenges comparisons to segregation, reframes the debate over free markets and choice, and explains why competition—not conformity—drives excellence. Listeners also weigh in, connecting today's talking points to the Civil Rights era, immigration policy, and modern definitions of “choice,” especially when government mandates force others to pay the bill. The hour presses on a recurring theme: are we debating facts anymore, or just narratives? If history, data, and personal responsibility matter, why do some arguments collapse the moment scrutiny is applied? This hour equips listeners with context, counterpoints, and questions the memes don't want you asking. HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason moves fast and wide, with Jerzee Joe and Larry Burns joining John Rush for a conversation that blends humor, policy, and hard consequences. Jerzee Joe (https://www.jerzeejoe.com/) breaks down government programs that never seem to end, skewers media narratives, and challenges double standards on voter ID, gun ownership, taxes, and public safety. From Super Bowl “jock taxes” to states losing wealth and residents, the question keeps surfacing: when policies punish success, who actually stays? Larry Burns (https://www.powerthefuture.com/) then zeroes in on energy and regulation, explaining why rolling back sweeping EPA rules could lower costs, improve reliability, and reshape everything from cars to power plants. The hour closes by turning to artificial intelligence, where sudden breakthroughs raise urgent questions about jobs, productivity, and the massive energy demands ahead. Are we prepared for how fast things are changing—or are we still debating yesterday's rules?

On this Health & Wellness Wednesday episode of https://RushToReason.com, John Rush asks questions most people avoid—until it's too late. John explores how everyday choices quietly shape long-term outcomes, from skin health to cancer prevention. Leo Park, CEO of Soul Beauty Club (https://www.seoulbeautyclub.com/), challenges Western skincare thinking, explaining why Korean beauty focuses on hydration, skin-barrier health, and long-term routines—not quick fixes. Why are men increasingly paying attention too? And are Americans damaging their skin by doing too much, too soon? Then the conversation deepens with oncologist Dr. Francisco Contreras, Director of Oasis of Hope Hospital (https://www.oasisofhope.com/), who delivers a surprising message: cancer is not just about genetics—it's about lifestyle. Can happiness, real food, and movement dramatically lower cancer risk? Why do developed countries see higher cancer rates? And what happens when conventional medicine is combined with natural therapies instead of competing with them? This hour doesn't offer hype—it offers perspective. If you think health is something you “deal with later,” this conversation may change that mindset entirely. Guest Timestamps * Leo Park – Soul Beauty Club: -14:57 * Dr. Francisco Contreras – Oasis of Hope Hospital: -30:56 HOUR 2 Hour 2 opens with a powerful and timely conversation as Richard Battle (https://RichardBattle.com) joins John Rush to reflect on the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln. As the nation marks Lincoln's birthday, the discussion draws sharp parallels between Lincoln's era and today's divided America. Was the country actually more fractured then than it is now? And what can Lincoln's perseverance, humility, and commitment to unity teach a modern nation struggling with identity, sovereignty, and purpose? The hour then shifts gears as Sunny Kutcher from Young Americans Against Socialism https://yaas.org) joins the show to break down rising political unrest in Los Angeles, outsider candidates challenging the status quo, and why younger Americans are starting to disengage—or re-engage—altogether. From voter ID and election integrity to civic responsibility and constitutional citizenship, this hour asks hard questions: Why is identity verification expected everywhere except the ballot box? And what happens when citizens finally push back? This is an hour about history, culture, and consequences—connecting America's past to the crossroads we face right now. Guest Timestamps * Richard Battle – Author / Historian: - 1:53 * Sunny Kutcher – Young Americans Against Socialism: - 28:00 HOUR 3 Hour 3 delivers a wide-ranging, no-holds-barred conversation that moves from culture and politics to markets and the future of work. John Rush is joined by Jim Pfaff of The Conservative Caucus (https://theconservativecaucus.com/), breaking down Super Bowl halftime controversies, media hypocrisy, and why conservatives must hold their own side accountable, not just the left. The discussion sharpens around the SAVE America Act, voter ID, and election integrity—asking a blunt question: can a republic survive if its elections aren't trusted? The hour then turns inward as John addresses Colorado politics, party loyalty, and the real cost of running unaffiliated. What happens when a candidate leaves the party structure—and who pays the political price? The final stretch shifts to economics and innovation with Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capital (https://www.bentpinecapital.com/). Together, they unpack surprising job numbers, inflation signals, Fed policy, and why AI may be accelerating productivity faster than policymakers realize. Is manufacturing quietly rebounding? Will AI eliminate jobs—or force businesses to reinvent? And is the Federal Reserve already behind the curve? This hour challenges assumptions—and dares listeners to connect the dots.

Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. HOUR 1 Hour 1 of Rush To Reason pulls back the curtain on the economic forces quietly reshaping everyday life—from interest rates and housing to global power and artificial intelligence. John Rush and Andy Peth are joined by Jordan Goodman, America's Money Answer Man, for a fast-moving conversation that connects the dots between the Federal Reserve, national debt, and political pressure. What happens when foreign nations lose confidence in U.S. Treasuries—and what does that mean for interest rates, inflation, and housing affordability? The discussion expands into global strategy, examining China's grip on gold, silver, and rare-earth minerals, and whether the U.S. can realistically regain control through projects such as domestic mining and refining. Then the lens shifts to the future: prediction markets outperforming polls, crypto's brutal volatility, and AI's rapid takeover of entire industries. From journalism layoffs to software companies losing relevance, the hour raises an uncomfortable question: Are jobs, institutions, and even governments adapting fast enough? This is a wide-angle look at power, money, and technology colliding… and the consequences most people aren't ready for. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason dives headfirst into one of the most explosive questions in American politics: is the two-party system broken—or is breaking it exactly what empowers the wrong people? John Rush and Andy Pate are joined by Tom Joseph, founder of America's Main Street Party (https://www.mainstreetparty.org/), who lays out a bold plan to overhaul how candidates are nominated using technology, voter engagement, and a money-free process. Could an “Olympic-style” system finally break the grip of incumbents and party insiders? After Joseph exits, the gloves come off. John and Andy examine why third-party movements may weaken individual liberty by splintering conservatives while collectivists stay unified. From voter psychology to consumer power, free will, faith, and political realism, the conversation challenges assumptions many voters take for granted. The hour closes with a blunt assessment of Colorado politics, the Victor Marks debate, and the uncomfortable truth that few people are actually deciding elections right now. Is principle enough to win—or does strategy decide the future? If you think you understand how power really works, this hour will force you to rethink it. ⏱️ Guest Timestamps * Tom Joseph – America's Main Street Party - 1:10 HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason pulls no punches as John and Andy confront the brutal realities of winning statewide in Colorado. With the gubernatorial field crowded and fractured, they argue that electability—not ideology—will determine the outcome, and they openly assess which Republican candidates have a path forward and which ones quietly help Democrats by splitting the vote. The conversation widens into a blistering critique of Colorado's political landscape, from activist statewide officials to a base that rewards passion over strategy. John and Andy press listeners with a simple but uncomfortable question: how does your candidate actually beat Michael Bennet in the general election? Then the hour takes a sharp turn into healthcare, as they react to calls from National Nurses United to abolish ICE and revisit COVID-era treatment of patients. Can medical professionals remain trusted when activism enters the exam room? A caller underscores the concern, recalling pharmacies that refused to fill doctor-prescribed medications—and the lack of accountability that followed. The hour closes with a hard reset on messaging about property taxes, crime, roads, and homelessness. If candidates can't focus on what hurts voters right now, does anything else matter?

HOUR 1 Hour 1 of Rush To Reason pulls back the curtain on the economic forces quietly reshaping everyday life—from interest rates and housing to global power and artificial intelligence. John Rush and Andy Peth are joined by Jordan Goodman, America's Money Answer Man, for a fast-moving conversation that connects the dots between the Federal Reserve, national debt, and political pressure. What happens when foreign nations lose confidence in U.S. Treasuries—and what does that mean for interest rates, inflation, and housing affordability? The discussion expands into global strategy, examining China's grip on gold, silver, and rare-earth minerals, and whether the U.S. can realistically regain control through projects such as domestic mining and refining.

HOUR 1 Hour 1 – https://RushToReason.com pulls no punches as John Rush dives headfirst into culture, freedom, and accountability—starting with a Super Bowl weekend that exposed just how divided the country has become. Why did a halftime show spark outrage, canceled orders, and online pile-ons against small businesses? And what does that say about tolerance, choice, and who really believes in freedom? John is joined by Mike Jansen of Plumberoos (https://plumberoos.com/), who breaks from the corporate, commission-driven model to explain what “old-school service” actually looks like in today's world. Is it possible to run a successful business without upselling fear and urgency? What happens when trust—not pressure—is the foundation? The hour then pivots to deeper questions about government control versus personal responsibility, from proposed Colorado legislation impacting digital privacy to the economics of captive pricing at airports and major events. Is regulation protecting people—or punishing common sense? And why are consumers shocked by prices in places where choice is limited? This hour challenges listeners to rethink outrage culture, media narratives, and where freedom quietly slips away when no one's paying attention.

HOUR1 Hour 1 of Rush To Reason turns Friday into movie night as Andy Peth delivers two sharply different 5-Star Movie Reviews—one heartfelt, one unsettling. Looking for a feel-good escape or a nerve-rattling experiment? This hour has both. First up is Solo Mio, a romantic comedy set against the backdrop of Italy's charm. Andy walks listeners through a story of heartbreak, healing, and unexpected connection. It's a surprisingly good choice heading into Valentine's season. Then the tone shifts hard with Iron Lung, a claustrophobic sci-fi horror born from YouTube culture. Andy applauds the lead performance and chilling concept, but doesn't hold back on its flaws. His verdict? Tune in to find out. Two movies. Two worlds. Which one's worth your time?

HOUR 1 Hour 1 of https"//Rush-To-Reason.com opens with John Rush challenging listeners to question authority, narratives, and so-called “expert consensus.” Joined by Dr. Kelly Victory, the hour dives into medical censorship, Big Pharma influence, and why independent voices matter more than ever after COVID. Who's really funding the studies, the media, and the treatments—and how does that shape what patients are told? The conversation turns sharply to the ethics of modern medicine, from gender-transition procedures for minors to the financial incentives driving life-altering decisions. Dr. Kelly lays out why vulnerable adolescents need counseling and care—not irreversible interventions—and highlights growing legal and medical fallout. The discussion then pivots to health autonomy: peptides, GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, risks of muscle loss, and why lifestyle change—not miracle injections—is the real key to long-term health. The hour wraps with a candid look at supplements, parasites, ivermectin, and personalized medicine. Do you need to fully understand why something works—or is safety, results, and individual response what really matters? If you care about truth, health freedom, and asking the uncomfortable questions, this hour is a must-listen. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason dives straight into election integrity, political hypocrisy, and the growing divide between narrative and reality. John Rush is joined by Josh Finlay, Director of the Texas Public Policy Foundation's National Election Protection Project (https://www.texaspolicy.com/election-protection-project), to break down why voter ID has become a mainstream issue—with overwhelming support across race and party lines. If ID is required for everyday life, why is voting treated differently? The hour then pivots to street-level protests and ICE enforcement, as John challenges listeners to confront the irony of activists setting up neighborhood roadblocks while opposing national border security. From there, the show takes a sharp turn into media literacy and credibility, dissecting viral claims, emotional fundraising, and how easily facts get ignored when they don't fit a preferred story. The final stretch opens the phones, tackling frustration inside the conservative movement—from Trump's messaging style and endorsements to midterm strategy, turnout, and Colorado's looming tax battles. Is the real threat coming from the other side—or from within? And what happens when voters stop thinking critically and start believing whatever they're told? ⏱️ Guest Timestamps * Josh Finlay – 1:11 HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason delivers a fast-paced deep dive into culture, credibility, and consequences—starting with Jerzee Joe (https://www.jerzeejoe.com) challenging the narrative around voter ID. Citing polling, street interviews, and Thomas Sowell's “soft bigotry of low expectations,” Joe argues the issue isn't race—it's standards. The hour then pivots to education and policy failures, from colleges graduating students who can't read at an eighth-grade level to electric school bus programs collapsing under real-world conditions. The conversation turns explosive with allegations involving public officials and questionable financial disclosures, raising serious questions about accountability and corruption. From there, John is joined by Scott Garliss ( https://x.com/CScottGarliss) to break down turbulence in crypto, precious metals, and markets—unpacking Fed uncertainty, margin calls, and why panic headlines often miss the bigger picture. The hour closes by calling out clickbait economics, AI fearmongering, and local policies that raise costs while preaching “affordability.” Are ideology and emotion replacing math, timelines, and common sense? ⏱️ Guest Timestamps * Jerzee Joe – 1:12 * Scott Garlis (Bent Pine Capital) – 25:39

HOUR 1 Hour 1 of Rush To Reason opens with a hard-hitting Health & Wellness Wednesday, guest-hosted by Dr. Scott Faulkner (https://castlerockregenerativehealth.com), alongside biohacker Jeremy Sova. This hour challenges the idea that decline is inevitable, asking a blunt question: What if fatigue, brain fog, and aging symptoms are signals—not sentences? Dr. Faulkner pulls back the curtain on credibility in modern medicine, why accountability matters, and how patient-first care has been lost in a system obsessed with protocols over people. The conversation moves from heart disease prevention to cutting-edge diagnostics, exposing why “treat after disaster” thinking may be failing patients. The hour then pivots to mitochondria—the cellular power source behind energy, cognition, and resilience. In plain English, they explain why damaged mitochondria lead to low energy and why inflammation accelerates the decline. Listeners get a preview of practical, low-cost steps to rebuild cellular power, break fitness plateaus, and reclaim mental clarity. Is aging really unavoidable—or have we been ignoring the real levers of longevity? HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason dives deep into preventive medicine, data-driven health, and personal accountability with Dr. Scott and biohacker Jeremy Sova. This hour challenges the medical status quo by asking a simple yet uncomfortable question: What if the biggest risks to your health aren't showing up on standard tests? The conversation spans omega-3 optimization, cholesterol particle size, hormones, bone density, and why “normal labs” can still hide serious danger. The centerpiece is AI-assisted CT angiography, revealing how soft plaque—often invisible on calcium scores—can quietly lead to catastrophic heart events. A powerful listener call brings the science to life, showing how early detection can literally save lives. Dr. Faulkner also pulls back the curtain on why modern healthcare feels rushed and impersonal, tracing it to corporate medicine, electronic records, and the loss of doctor-patient relationships. This hour isn't about fear—it's about clarity, courage, and reclaiming control. Are you managing your health—or just hoping nothing breaks? HOUR 3 Hour 3 pushes listeners to the edge of what's possible in regenerative and longevity medicine with Dr. Scott Faulkner and biohacker Jeremy Sova. The hour opens with reflection on family, faith, and time—then pivots sharply into a crash course on stem cells, separating real science from dangerous hype. What's the difference between embryonic, bone-marrow, fat-derived, and umbilical-cord stem cells—and why does sourcing and regulation matter? From there, the discussion accelerates into global breakthroughs, including reports from Japan and Germany showing dramatic progress in spinal cord injury and early Alzheimer's disease. The hour stacks next-gen therapies—stem cells, plasmapheresis (therapeutic plasma exchange), and hyperbaric oxygen therapy—and explains how they may work together to extend healthspan, reduce inflammation, and even reverse markers of aging, such as telomere shortening. The final segment tees up a major reckoning in women's health, revisiting hormone replacement therapy and decades of fear driven by flawed studies. Is medicine finally shifting from managing decline to preventing it?

The hour stacks next-gen therapies—stem cells, plasmapheresis (therapeutic plasma exchange), and hyperbaric oxygen therapy—and explains how they may work together to extend healthspan, reduce inflammation, and even reverse markers of aging, such as telomere shortening. The final segment tees up a major reckoning in women's health, revisiting hormone replacement therapy and decades of fear driven by flawed studies. Is medicine finally shifting from managing decline to preventing it?

HOUR 1 Hour 1 of Rush To Reason opens with signature intensity as John Rush and Andy Peth challenge listeners to question narratives shaping today's culture. From mad cow disease and prion science to a fiery discussion on ICE protests, paid activism, and law enforcement, the hour asks a provocative question: how do you talk to family members—especially younger ones—when politics turns personal and divisive? The conversation digs into freedom vs. force, the rule of law, and why enforcement is being reframed as oppression. Mid-hour, the spotlight shifts to pop culture colliding with politics as Andy reviews Melania. Set during the 20 days leading up to Donald Trump's second inauguration, the film is portrayed as a quiet, meticulous character study of Melania Trump—elegant, disciplined, emotionally reserved, and fiercely self-controlled. Andy contrasts glowing audience reactions with hostile critic reviews, raising a bigger question: is the backlash about filmmaking—or ideology? Fast-paced, provocative, and cinematic, Hour 1 feels less like talk radio and more like a trailer for the cultural battles shaping America right now.

Hour 1 of Rush To Reason opens with intensity and quickly moves into uncomfortable but urgent territory. John Rush questions judgment, accountability, and the real-world consequences of words—especially when those words come from people in positions of authority. A shocking social media controversy involving an Erie police officer sparks a deeper conversation: where does free speech end, and responsibility begin? Why do some stories explode online but never reach mainstream headlines? Media bias and narrative framing take center stage as Christine Czernejewski, founder of Mediapedia (https://mediapedia.org/), joins the show to explain how journalism is shaped—not just by what's reported, but by what's left out. How are protests, ICE enforcement, and high-profile legal cases being portrayed? And are younger generations being informed… or steered? The hour closes by connecting media silence to broader political moves in Colorado, teasing upcoming debates over immigration enforcement, federal authority, and states' rights. If you care about truth, transparency, and who controls the narrative, this hour sets the stage—and leaves you asking what you're not being told. Guest Timestamps * Christine Czernejewski - 29:35 HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason moves fast from breaking headlines to deeper cultural fault lines. John opens with a troubling missing-person case involving an elderly woman in Arizona, raising hard questions about motive, media focus, and why some stories dominate while others quietly fade. Attention then turns back to Colorado, where a massive power outage left nearly 200,000 customers in the dark—yet barely registered compared to high-profile protests. Why do priorities seem so skewed? John challenges listeners on immigration and ICE enforcement, offering calm, everyday analogies to help parents and grandparents talk through these issues with younger generations. How do you explain borders, responsibility, and security without shouting—just asking the right questions? The hour then shifts gears as Richard joins John to break down the business psychology behind Super Bowl advertising. Why would companies spend millions for 30 seconds—and why do viewers actually watch the ads? The conversation blends media strategy, economics, and culture before closing with a review of the 2026 Toyota Prius Nightshade Edition—raising the question: Is it just cosmetic flair, or does it actually stand out on the road? Guest Timestamps * Richard Rush on Super Bowl Ads - 28:26 * Richard Rush 2026 Toyota Prius Review- 43:21 HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason dives deep into taxes, culture, and common sense, starting with a wide-ranging conversation between John and Grover Norquist (https://x.com/GroverNorquist). They break down why permanent tax cuts matter, who really pays corporate taxes, and how economic policy shapes wages, jobs, and investment. But the discussion doesn't stop there. A bold new idea takes center stage: investment accounts for children designed to teach savings, ownership, and long-term thinking. Could getting kids invested early change how an entire generation understands the economy—and even how they vote? After Grover exits, John pivots to current events and cultural flashpoints. Why is ICE suddenly deploying body cameras now, and what role do protests and political pressure play in that decision? From there, John takes on lawsuit culture, reacting to a legal challenge over Costco's iconic $4.99 rotisserie chicken and asking when personal responsibility disappeared. The hour wraps with a sharp critique of credential obsession and social-media censorship, questioning whether platforms like LinkedIn still offer real value—or just ideological gatekeeping. It's an hour that connects money, mindset, and modern absurdity. Guest Timestamps * Grover Norquist 0:23

Friday brings 5-Star Movie Reviews with Andy Peth, and this hour leans into mystery, tension, and unexpected turns. Two January releases step into the spotlight—and neither is what you might expect. First is Shelter. A quiet life. A violent interruption. A past that refuses to stay buried. Andy explores why this film slowly tightens its grip, blending grounded action with an unsettling question about how much privacy anyone really has anymore. Is patience rewarded—or tested? Then comes Send Help. A trip goes wrong. Power shifts. And survival becomes something far more personal. Andy digs into why this story resonates with anyone who's ever felt trapped under someone else's control, while also questioning whether it fully delivers on its darker promise. Two films. Two very different kinds of danger. Which one lingers after the credits roll? ⏱️ Movie Review Timestamps * Shelter — 13:39 * Send Help — 27:36 HOUR 2 What makes a boss cross the line from demanding… to destructive? In Hour 2 of Rush To Reason, John Rush and Andy Peth dive into the movie world's most unforgettable bad bosses—the power-trippers, manipulators, and ego-driven leaders who leave chaos in their wake. From the darkly satisfying rebellion of 9 to 5 to the soul-crushing corporate games of Office Space, and the chilling, high-gloss control of The Devil Wears Prada, the conversation asks a bigger question: why does bad leadership look so familiar? Funny, uncomfortable, and painfully relatable, this hour connects Hollywood's worst bosses to real-world power, pressure, and personality. Ever had that boss? This hour might feel a little too close to home.

Don't just listen, call in with your perspective at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. Hour 1 launches with host John Rush, joined by Dr. Kelly Victory and Steve House, for a fast-moving, hard-hitting conversation on health, public trust, and rising national tensions. Why are colorectal cancer rates climbing among younger Americans—and are key factors being ignored? The panel questions pandemic-era decisions, healthcare accountability, and whether institutions will ever admit costly mistakes. The discussion then pivots to a disturbing trend: healthcare workers allegedly posting political threats online. What happens when medical ethics collide with political division? And how cautious must Americans now be—even inside a doctor's office—about what they say? Listeners are left with urgent questions: Are professional standards slipping under political pressure? Can free speech and personal liberty survive growing cultural conflict? And what happens if accountability disappears? If you want bold conversations that challenge headlines and ask what others won't, this hour sets the tone for the rest of the show. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason dives headfirst into the national debate over immigration enforcement, political unrest, and everyday freedoms. Host John Rush welcomes Ammon Blair of the Texas Public Policy Foundation https://www.texaspolicy.com), who breaks down how activist groups and political narratives shape public perception around ICE operations and border enforcement. Why do protests erupt even when authorities shut down human trafficking networks? And are federal and state leaders prepared for escalating tensions? The hour then pivots to listener-driven debate on government spending, vehicle policies, and personal choice, as Rush challenges criticism over law enforcement using large SUVs and Americans driving trucks or EVs. Is the real fight about environmental impact—or about freedom versus government control? With heated caller exchanges and strong opinions, the hour leaves listeners asking: who decides how Americans live, drive, and secure their communities? And what happens when policy debates collide with real-world needs? Guest Timestamps * Ammon Blair — 1:08 HOUR 3 Hour 3 brings John Rush together with Jerzee Joe (https://www.jerzeejoe.com), blending humor, headlines, and hard policy questions. The hour opens with cultural commentary and concerns about declining civic knowledge before pivoting to major Colorado gun legislation proposals that could expand red flag laws, regulate firearm components, and potentially limit ownership. Are lawmakers protecting citizens—or creating new constitutional concerns? Joe and John also challenge public perceptions about policing, comparing the rarity of questionable police shootings to the number of officers intentionally killed each year. Unexpected twists follow, including how nationwide weight-loss trends could even reduce airline fuel costs and a growing “ghost student” scam siphoning millions in federal education funds. Rush then turns to business news, revealing that Fat Brands, parent company to numerous familiar restaurant chains, has filed for bankruptcy, raising concerns for vendors and small businesses awaiting payment. From public safety and legislation to economic ripple effects, the hour leaves listeners wondering: are facts guiding policy, or are emotions driving decisions? Guest Timestamps * Jerzee Joe — 1:08

Health & Wellness Wednesday delivers powerful, real-life insight as John Rush dives into two critical health conversations that hit close to home for many listeners. Burn survivor Gail Petrillo (https://www.firstimpressions1.com/), Board Chair of the American Red Cross of Southern Arizona, shares her deeply personal story while spotlighting National Burn Awareness Week. How fast can everyday routines turn dangerous, and do you really know the right way to treat a burn before it becomes life-altering? The conversation then shifts as Thomas Greither, CEO of Flora Health (https://www.florahealth.com/), uncovers how iron deficiency may quietly rob millions of energy and vitality. Could fatigue, hair loss, or constant exhaustion be something more than just aging? Is a new approach to iron absorption changing how people reclaim their energy? Two guests, two life-impacting topics—one hour packed with insights that could change how you protect your family and care for your own health. What warning signs might you be missing right now? Guest Timestamps * Gail Petrillo — 10:01 * Thomas Greither — 29:18 HOUR 2 Hour 2 blends history, politics, and today's cultural flashpoints as John Rush explores leadership lessons from America's founding and how they apply to modern controversies. Author Richard Battle (https://richardbattle.com/) highlights the courage and sacrifice of John Hancock and asks what true civic leadership looks like in times of division. Later, Sunny Kutcher, Executive Director of Young Americans Against Socialism (https://yaas.org), joins the show to unpack recent court decisions allowing ICE enforcement actions to continue in Minnesota. Are protests protecting freedom—or obstructing efforts to combat crime and human trafficking? And are young Americans being equipped with facts or swept up in emotional narratives? From the founding era to today's immigration battles, the hour challenges listeners to examine responsibility, law enforcement realities, and the role of activism in shaping America's future. Are we honoring the principles that built the nation—or drifting away from them? Guest Timestamps * Richard Battle — 1:10 * Sunny Kutcher — 27:52 HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason shifts from global geopolitics to everyday economic concerns, delivering a fast-paced mix of foreign policy insight and financial clarity. Former U.S. Ambassador to Denmark Alan Leventhal explains why Greenland and the Arctic are suddenly center stage in global security. As Arctic routes open and tensions rise, could cooperation with NATO allies prove more powerful than confrontation? Later, financial advisor Scott Garliss, Founder of Bent Pine Capital (https://cscottgarliss.substack.com/), tackles fears of economic collapse and currency decline. Is a market crash really looming—or are long-term investors positioned to benefit as inflation eases and interest rate policy shifts? With discussion ranging from Federal Reserve decisions to global trade and AI-driven productivity gains, the hour asks: are headlines fueling fear while fundamentals quietly improve? From Arctic strategy to Wall Street reality, this hour challenges listeners to separate political noise from economic and geopolitical truth. Alan Leventhal — 1:09 Scott Garliss — 28:01

The conversation then shifts as Thomas Greither, CEO of Flora Health (https://www.florahealth.com/), uncovers how iron deficiency may quietly rob millions of energy and vitality. Could fatigue, hair loss, or constant exhaustion be something more than just aging? Is a new approach to iron absorption changing how people reclaim their energy? Two guests, two life-impacting topics—one hour packed with insights that could change how you protect your family and care for your own health. What warning signs might you be missing right now? Guest Timestamps * Gail Petrillo — 10:01 * Thomas Greither — 29:18 HOUR 2 Hour 2 blends history, politics, and today's cultural flashpoints as John Rush explores leadership lessons from America's founding and how they apply to modern controversies. Author Richard Battle (https://richardbattle.com/) highlights the courage and sacrifice of John Hancock and asks what true civic leadership looks like in times of division. Later, Sunny Kutcher, Executive Director of Young Americans Against Socialism (https://yaas.org), joins the show to unpack recent court decisions allowing ICE enforcement actions to continue in Minnesota. Are protests protecting freedom—or obstructing efforts to combat crime and human trafficking? And are young Americans being equipped with facts or swept up in emotional narratives? From the founding era to today's immigration battles, the hour challenges listeners to examine responsibility, law enforcement realities, and the role of activism in shaping America's future. Are we honoring the principles that built the nation—or drifting away from them? Guest Timestamps * Richard Battle — 1:10 * Sunny Kutcher — 27:52 HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason shifts from global geopolitics to everyday economic concerns, delivering a fast-paced mix of foreign policy insight and financial clarity. Former U.S. Ambassador to Denmark Alan Leventhal explains why Greenland and the Arctic are suddenly center stage in global security. As Arctic routes open and tensions rise, could cooperation with NATO allies prove more powerful than confrontation? Later, financial advisor Scott Garliss, Founder of Bent Pine Capital (https://cscottgarliss.substack.com/), tackles fears of economic collapse and currency decline. Is a market crash really looming—or are long-term investors positioned to benefit as inflation eases and interest rate policy shifts? With discussion ranging from Federal Reserve decisions to global trade and AI-driven productivity gains, the hour asks: are headlines fueling fear while fundamentals quietly improve? From Arctic strategy to Wall Street reality, this hour challenges listeners to separate political noise from economic and geopolitical truth. Alan Leventhal — 1:09 Scott Garliss — 28:01

Don't just listen, call in with your perspective at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3pm - 6 pm MT. Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with John Rush setting a blunt, no-nonsense tone about reality, responsibility, and hard truths—then quickly moves into logic, politics, and power. An “impossible question” sparks a broader discussion about the danger of confusing correlation with causation, especially in political narratives. The hour intensifies with a deep dive into U.S. global leadership and NATO, arguing that America's strength—and restraint—has made it the least imperialistic superpower in history. Can Europe truly defend itself without the U.S., and why do critics at home benefit from the power they condemn? From there, John and Andy confront internal Republican fractures, dissecting claims from Marjorie Taylor Greene on immigration, ICE, and “uniparty” politics. Are purity tests and viral outrage helping conservatives—or undermining their own leverage? A heated discussion follows on protests, firearms, and law enforcement, drawing sharp lines between principle and dangerous real-world consequences. The hour closes with an economic warning shot at Canada's leadership, trade threats, and reliance on money printing. Is Canada facing a temporary bump—or a delayed collapse? With global economics, party infighting, and uncomfortable questions about power and accountability, Hour 1 pulls no punches. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason features a deep-dive conversation with Jim D'Arezzo , president of Aquaterex (https://aquaterrex.com/), unpacking one of the most overlooked issues behind AI expansion: water. As data centers explode across the country—often in arid regions—Jim explains why energy costs, regulation, and location matter more than rainfall, and why vast deep-groundwater reserves could change everything. Is America really running out of water, or are we fighting over the wrong supply? Listeners then weigh in from across the country, challenging where AI centers are built and why states rich in water and power still lose out. John and Andy examine the hidden tradeoffs: massive electricity demand, limited permanent jobs, labor shortages, and policies that quietly push investment elsewhere. The hour closes by zooming out to global risk, reacting to the updated Doomsday Clock and questioning whether today's warnings reflect real danger—or political fear. With technology, infrastructure, economics, and geopolitics colliding, Hour 2 asks a provocative question: are we preparing for the future—or misreading the threats entirely? Guest Timestamps * Jim D'Arezzo - 1:16 HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason opens with a hard-hitting discussion of national security and the rule of law featuring Jim Pfaff of the Conservative Caucus (https://theconservativecaucus.com/). The conversation centers on violent anti-ICE protests, alleged coordinated funding networks, and the legal realities surrounding firearms, protests, and split-second law-enforcement decisions. Where does lawful behavior end—and reckless interference begin? John and Andy then pivot to a broader warning about political activism, arguing that protests rarely change policy and often escalate risk for both citizens and officers. The hour takes a sharp inward turn as they dissect internal Colorado GOP dysfunction, laying out a detailed critique of former leadership and the long-term damage caused by conflicts of interest, power grabs, and party infighting. The message is blunt: Republicans won't win by rage, mobs, or internal sabotage—but through disciplined leadership, credible candidates, and restoring trust. With tensions rising nationally and locally, Hour 3 asks a sobering question: are we serious about fixing what's broken, or just fueling the chaos? Guest Timestamps * Jim Pfaff – 1:15
