The Truth About Food, Pharma, and Your Health. Hour 1 of Rush to Reason dives headfirst into one of the most provocative health conversations of our time—are we treating disease all wrong? John Rush, Dr. Kelly Victory, and Steve House explore emerging ideas in cancer treatment, including the surprising potential of repurposed drugs such as ivermectin and fenbendazole. Could creating a “hostile environment” for cancer be more effective—and less destructive—than traditional chemotherapy? The conversation expands into a broader look at immune health, prevention, and the growing skepticism around vaccines, including a controversial breast cancer vaccine currently in trials. But the real fireworks begin when the discussion turns to power and control—should judges, politicians, or medical professionals determine public health policy? Then comes a hard pivot to something every listener faces daily: food. From processed ingredients to misleading labels, the trio exposes how modern diets may be fueling chronic disease—and why real change faces massive resistance from powerful industries. Are Americans being protected… or profited from? And more importantly, what can you do about it? --- HOUR 2 Are Parents Being Kept in the Dark? From Schools to Global Tensions Hour 2 takes listeners from local concerns in the classroom to high-stakes global conflicts, revealing a common theme: are people fully informed about the systems shaping their lives? John is joined by Alvin Lui to uncover a program targeting young girls that raises serious questions about transparency in education. What's being presented as empowerment may carry deeper ideological messaging—but how would parents even know? The conversation then shifts to action, exploring how parents can investigate, push back, and demand accountability from schools. But the focus doesn't stay local for long. As Jim Pfaff joins the show, the discussion expands to election integrity, government policy, and rising instability around the world—from Iran to Cuba. Are global alliances shifting, and is the U.S. prepared for what comes next? The hour closes on a surprisingly practical note—driver's education and personal responsibility—bringing everything back to a central question: Are we paying attention to the changes happening around us… or reacting too late? Timestamps * 1:08 — Alvin Lui — https://courageisahabit.org/ * 26:56 — Jim Pfaff — https://theconservativecaucus.com/ --- HOUR 3 The Hidden Financial Time Bomb Inside Government Systems, and From Parenting to Policy—Where Responsibility Begins Hour 3 delivers a wide-ranging and thought-provoking conversation that connects economics, politics, and personal responsibility in ways that may surprise listeners. John Rush is joined by Jerzee Joe to unpack the hidden financial realities behind government systems—starting with the U.S. Postal Service and expanding to a much bigger issue: underfunded pensions. How deep is the problem, and what happens if those promises can't be kept? The discussion then shifts to taxation and economic migration, as high earners continue leaving states like California and New York. Are policies designed to generate revenue actually driving it away? From there, the conversation pivots sharply into global tensions, with bold takes on Iran and shifting political dynamics at home. But just as the stakes seem global, the hour comes full circle—back to parenting, independence, and the real-world skills young people are (or aren't) learning. Are today's challenges connected in ways we're not seeing, and more importantly, are we preparing for what comes next? Timestamps 1:10 — Jerzee Joe https://www.jerzeejoe.com/

John Rush and Al Smith kick things off by exposing common money myths: Are tax refunds really a win, or just a missed opportunity? And is “playing it safe” with your money quietly costing you more than you realize? But the conversation quickly turns personal—and powerful. From the emotional reality of caring for loved ones with dementia to the growing concern over Alzheimer's, John shares firsthand experiences that hit close to home. What's really happening behind the scenes for caregivers—and why are these conditions on the rise? Then comes a wake-up call. With Troy Duell , the spotlight shifts to sugar, addiction, and hidden dangers in everyday foods. Could your diet be silently affecting your brain, your liver, and your future independence? In the end, one question lingers: what is your health—and your freedom—truly worth?

John Rush is joined by Richard Battle to explore the life of Andrew Jackson—a leader shaped by adversity, resilience, and grit. What can his story teach a generation that's been told success requires privilege? But the tone quickly shifts. A viral street interview sparks a fiery discussion about perception, misinformation, and how far cultural narratives have drifted. Are Americans losing their ability to distinguish reality from ideology? And why are misconceptions about political beliefs so widespread? Then the conversation turns practical—and costly. From fuel blends to ethanol mandates, John breaks down what he believes is driving gas prices higher. Are outdated regulations and lobbying groups quietly impacting what you pay at the pump? By the end of the hour, one thing is clear: whether it's leadership, culture, or energy policy—the real story may be far different than what you've been told. Timestamps * 1:08 — Richard Battle — Author / Speaker https://richardbattle.com/ HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush to Reason pulls back the curtain on power, policy, and who really controls the future of American life. John Rush is joined by Karen Bailey Chapman of SEMA to tackle a growing question: as vehicles become more advanced, will government regulations quietly limit your ability to modify—and even control—your own car? The conversation then pivots to national security and media narratives. Can former insiders truly be trusted, or are some voices amplified for political impact? And how do you separate fact from agenda in a world flooded with information? Later, author Kevin Mooney joins to challenge the driving forces behind climate policy. Are these initiatives about protecting the planet—or reshaping society through regulation, taxation, and control? The hour wraps with a hard look at Colorado politics, ballot access, and electability. Who actually has a chance to win—and are internal divisions sealing the outcome before it even begins? In the end, one question remains: who's really making the decisions that shape your future?

In this compelling hour of Rush to Reason, guest host Andy Peth—joined by Luke Cashman and Tanner Coleman—dives into a cultural shift that's impossible to ignore. The discussion begins with sharp global commentary before pivoting into a deeper, more personal question: why are nearly half of Americans no longer going to the movies? As the conversation unfolds, the hosts explore whether Hollywood has lost its connection to everyday audiences. Are modern films too focused on messaging instead of storytelling? Have rising costs, streaming convenience, and post-COVID habits permanently changed how we consume entertainment? From Oscar-winning films that few people actually watched to nostalgia for an era filled with unforgettable blockbusters, a clear theme emerges—audiences aren't done with movies… they're done with bad ones. The bigger question lingers: if Hollywood doesn't adapt, will the theater experience become a thing of the past? HOUR 2 What happens when ideology collides with reality? In Hour 2 of Rush to Reason, Andy Peth and Jerzee Joe (https://www.jerzeejoe.com/) take listeners on a global and deeply philosophical journey—comparing nations, systems, and the human behaviors that drive them. From the dramatic contrast between Poland's economic rise and Venezuela's collapse, to a hard look at socialism versus capitalism, the hour builds toward a central question: what actually creates prosperity? Is it policy—or human nature itself? As real-world examples stack up, including economic struggles in Canada and policy shifts in New York and California, a pattern begins to emerge. The conversation pushes further, exploring taxation, wealth flight, and whether government expansion solves problems—or accelerates them. Cultural commentary adds another layer, challenging listeners to rethink what issues truly matter on a global scale. At its core, this hour isn't just about politics—it's about cause and effect. When decisions are driven by emotion instead of outcomes, what happens next? And more importantly… who pays the price? HOUR 3 What does it mean to represent America—and what happens when unity gives way to division? In Hour 3 of Rush to Reason, Andy Peth is joined by Eli Bremer for a powerful hour that begins with inspiration and ends with hard political reality. The conversation opens with an inside look at the Olympic spirit, highlighting athletes like Kaylee Humphreys and Jasmine Jones, and raises a compelling question: what unites Americans when everything else divides them? But that unity quickly gives way to a deeper, more urgent discussion about the future of Colorado politics. As internal battles intensify within the Republican Party, the hour explores a system under pressure—one shaped by control, process, and competing visions for the future. Is the current system empowering voters… or limiting them? And if the structure itself is flawed, can any outcome truly reflect the will of the people? From Olympic pride to political fracture, this hour asks a critical question: what happens when the systems meant to unite us begin pulling us apart?

https://RushToReason.com (3-16-26) HOUR 1 Spring weather swings spark more than just small talk—they kick off a practical and timely conversation with Hunter from Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning. As temperatures bounce from cold to summer-like heat, are you using your AC correctly—or setting yourself up for costly damage? Hunter breaks down what homeowners need to know right now, from filter changes to avoiding system strain during chilly nights. But the conversation quickly escalates beyond the thermostat. John shifts into rising global tensions with Iran, exploring new developments surrounding leadership, military strategy, and the potential involvement of Kurdish forces. What's really unfolding behind the scenes—and how close are we to a larger conflict? Back home, a troubling Frontier Airlines incident raises questions about accountability and customer treatment. Is it a one-off mistake—or part of a bigger pattern? The hour takes a powerful turn into culture and history, examining controversial moments in entertainment and reflecting on the lessons of the Holocaust. Are we forgetting what matters most? HOUR 2 Hour 2 picks up with intensity as John doubles down on a deeply polarizing conversation—where is the line between political disagreement and something far more serious? As listener texts pour in, the debate escalates around figures like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, with John drawing firm conclusions and inviting callers to challenge him. A powerful exchange with callers Dave and Wayne brings faith, history, and logic into the spotlight. Can long-standing narratives withstand scrutiny? And how should Christians respond to hatred—especially when it's directed back at them? The conversation raises uncomfortable but critical questions about truth, influence, and responsibility. Then, the tone shifts as Richard joins the program, bringing a breath of fresh air with discussions on March Madness, the rising cost of college sports, and the changing landscape of NIL deals. Could big money be reshaping competition forever? From there, the excitement builds with talk of a potential IndyCar race in Denver—big risks, big rewards, and major economic potential. The hour wraps with a high-performance review of the 2026 Toyota GR Supra, a turbocharged, driver-focused sports car that blends power, precision, and pure driving fun—before setting the stage for a deeper dive into global tensions ahead. Timestamps 3:19 – Dave (Caller) 20:44 – Wayne (Caller) 29:39 – Richard Rush HOUR 3 Hour 3 dives into global conflict, economic reality, and everyday decision-making—with stakes that hit closer to home than you might think. John is joined by retired Air Force Colonel Dr. Josh McConkie, who delivers a sobering look at the escalating situation with Iran. From asymmetric warfare and drone threats to the strategic battle over the Strait of Hormuz, the conversation explores what's really happening behind the headlines. Is this conflict nearing its end—or entering a more calculated and dangerous phase? Back on the home front, John tackles financial myths and political consequences. Can annuities really deliver double-digit returns, or are investors being misled? And as TSA delays grow amid funding battles, who's truly responsible—and how long will travelers tolerate the chaos? Then comes a deep dive into Colorado's proposed swipe fee legislation—will it help businesses, or quietly raise costs for everyone? Finally, a real-world example of a billionaire relocating to avoid massive taxes sparks a bigger question: are policies driving wealth—and opportunity—out the door? And perhaps the biggest question of all: how do you win a war like this without putting boots on the ground?

It's Friday on https://RushToReason.com, which means it's time for Andy Peth's 5-Star Movie Reviews. This week, Andy dives into two very different films—a chilling paranormal horror story and a deeply emotional drama about regret and redemption. Is “Undertone” a terrifying psychological thriller or just an overlong mood piece? And does “Reminders of Him” deliver the kind of heartfelt drama Hollywood rarely makes anymore? Andy breaks it all down using his signature 5-Star rating system designed around quality, political, and moral tones. Tune in to hear his complete review. Undertone — ★½☆☆☆ — 15:43 Andy Peth reviews this low-budget psychological horror film built around eerie audio recordings and paranormal podcast investigations. Reminders of Him — ★★★☆☆ — 28:46 This emotional drama follows a woman returning home after prison, desperate to reconnect with the daughter she has never been allowed to know. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason turns into a lively celebration of one of the most powerful elements in film: movie soundtracks. John, Andy, and Richard invited listeners to weigh in as they explore the songs and scores that didn't just accompany movies—they helped define them. What makes a soundtrack unforgettable? Is it a sweeping orchestral score like Star Wars or Jurassic Park, or a collection of hit songs that instantly take you back to the film? The conversation becomes a rapid-fire tour through movie history as classics and fan favorites pour in from callers and texts. From iconic scores like Rocky, Titanic, and Chariots of Fire to song-driven films like Top Gun, Dirty Dancing, and Grease, the hosts debate which soundtracks truly elevated their movies. Animated films also dominate the discussion, with titles like The Lion King, Frozen, Moana, and Shrek demonstrating the power of music in storytelling. Along the way, listeners add even more entries—from Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and 2001: A Space Odyssey. By the end of the hour, one thing becomes clear: great movies may tell the story—but great music makes audiences feel it.

Hour 1 of Rush to Reason explores a wide-ranging discussion of health, vaccines, and medical questions many Americans are asking. John Rush is joined by Dr. Kelly Victory and Steve House to examine reports that severe cardiac events among younger Americans may be rising. What could be driving the increase, and why are doctors and policymakers reluctant to investigate it more aggressively? The conversation looks at the difference between traditional heart attacks and sudden cardiac death, along with concerns about myocarditis, spike proteins, and possible long-term effects of mRNA technology. Listeners ask whether an “off switch” for mRNA might exist and what testing options are available for those who want to understand their risk. From antibody testing and D-dimer blood tests to supplements that may reduce spike proteins, the panel answers listener questions while urging caution about online medical claims. The hour also examines the safety of vaccines such as flu shots and Shingrix, the integrity of the blood supply, and whether hormone replacement therapy could help aging men and women regain vitality. Are Americans getting the full story from the medical establishment—or are critical questions still going unanswered? Website mentioned https://www.labcorp.com/ HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason dives into Colorado politics, election strategy, and internal battles shaping the Republican Party's future. John Rush begins with Zach Kraft of the Republican National Committee, discussing a controversial Colorado congressional candidate whose policies could threaten industries such as oil, gas, and ranching in the state. The discussion expands to national politics, including a government shutdown fight tied to Department of Homeland Security funding and ICE, raising questions about how political gridlock affects everyday workers. The hour then shifts into an unfiltered look at why Republicans continue losing elections in Colorado. Are voting systems really the issue—or are weak candidates, poor campaign strategy, and party infighting to blame? Rush argues the real problems lie within the party itself, including the caucus system, fractured campaigns, and limited voter outreach. Listeners call in to debate election integrity, messaging, and candidate viability. The hour ends with a warning: if conservative votes remain divided—including unaffiliated runs—Democrats could easily maintain control. Can Republicans unite and build a winning strategy, or will internal divisions continue to cost them elections? Timestamps 1:08 — Zach Kraft — Central Regional Communications Director. https://gop.com HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush to Reason begins with a powerful personal story before turning to Colorado politics. Author Katie Asher discusses her book The Book of Heaven, sharing how her non-speaking autistic son eventually learned to communicate—revealing intelligence and perceptions that challenge common assumptions about severe autism. Could society be misunderstanding what autism really is? The conversation then shifts to Colorado politics as listeners call in to discuss party unity, grassroots involvement, and the resignation of Colorado GOP Chair Britta Horne. Rush argues that internal factions—particularly those connected to Dave Williams and the “Davidians” movement—have fractured the party and weakened its ability to compete statewide. Rush warns that without structural reform and stronger leadership, the Republican Party may struggle to compete in a state trending increasingly blue. Can the party rebuild trust with voters and unify its base—or will internal divisions continue shaping Colorado's political future?

John Rush begins with estate planning attorney Michael Bailey, discussing how changing tax laws and retirement rules—such as those affecting inherited IRAs—can impact what families pass to the next generation. Are Americans planning wisely, or unknowingly leaving more to the IRS? The conversation then shifts to brain health, dementia prevention, and daily habits that influence long-term wellness. Drawing from research by a Harvard neurologist, John explores how sleep, stress management, social interaction, exercise, and lifelong learning may help protect cognitive function. Could small daily routines be the key to staying mentally sharp? Later, Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum joins the program to discuss sleep science, daylight saving time, fatigue, and cognitive health. Why do some people struggle for days after the clock change? And could poor sleep be quietly contributing to chronic pain, fatigue, and dementia risk? From estate strategy to brain longevity, the hour asks an important question: are your daily habits helping—or hurting—your future? Timestamps 1:57 — Michael Bailey — https://michaelbaileylawllc.com 27:51 — Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum — https://endfatigue.com & https://vitality101.com/ HOUR 2 Hour 2 opens with a conversation about leadership, accountability, and adversity with author Richard Battle. What separates leaders who rise during challenges from those who collapse under pressure? Through real-world stories, Battle explains how trust, honesty, and a leader's first response to adversity can shape long-term credibility. The discussion then turns to media narratives and public perception, including controversial crime statistics (https://bjs.ojp.gov). John questions whether news coverage highlights some stories while ignoring others that do not fit prevailing narratives. Next, the focus shifts to preparedness as John warns about possible Xcel Energy power shutoffs during extreme wind and wildfire conditions. What should families do if the power goes out for days? The hour concludes with Colorado politics, examining debates over coal plant closures, energy reliability, school choice, and education funding. As Colorado surpasses six million residents, the question becomes: can policy decisions keep pace with the state's growing needs? HOUR 3 Hour 3 begins with Jerzee Joe's rapid-fire “stupid stories of the week,” covering topics ranging from an Oregon proposal that could ban hunting and livestock production to debates over media bias, cultural politics, and race narratives in the headlines. Clips from Senator Eric Schmidt, Senator John Kennedy, Bill Maher, and Congressman Wesley Hunt highlight concerns about political rhetoric and media framing. The conversation then turns to gun control policies and rising background check fees, raising a larger question: are regulations quietly limiting the rights of lower-income Americans? Later, Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capital joins John to analyze tensions in the Middle East and the importance of the Strait of Hormuz, where nearly 20% of the world's oil supply moves daily. If Iran disrupts that chokepoint, what happens to global energy markets? The hour wraps with a discussion of energy geopolitics, LNG exports, inflation, Fed policy, and market volatility—examining how global conflicts can ripple into fuel prices, the economy, and financial markets at home.

HOUR 1 Colorado politics takes center stage in this intense hour of Rush To Reason with John Rush, Andy Peth, and Charlie Grimes. What happens when a political strategy meant to “expand the tent” actually risks splitting the vote? The conversation begins with a deep dive into Greg Lopez's decision to run as an unaffiliated candidate, raising a critical question: Will his campaign attract new voters—or simply pull support away from Republicans? The hosts explore the complex psychology of Colorado's unaffiliated voters, debating whether they truly act independently or consistently lean left on election day. Could Lopez's strategy unintentionally strengthen Democratic dominance in the state? The discussion then widens to national headlines following Tucker Carlson's controversial comments, prompting debate over foreign policy, media influence, and the shifting landscape of political commentary. Finally, the hour turns to the future of Colorado's political leadership, with speculation about whether Senator Michael Bennett could become the state's next governor—and what that might mean for policy on taxes, guns, and government power. If internal party divisions continue, could Colorado face a dramatic political shift in the next election cycle? HOUR 2 Hour 2 dives deeper into the political fallout surrounding Greg Lopez's decision to run unaffiliated in Colorado. John, Andy, and Charlie dissect the strategy and ask a blunt question: Does this campaign actually broaden the political playing field—or does it split the conservative vote and hand Democrats an even bigger advantage? The conversation explores the behavior of Colorado's rapidly growing unaffiliated voter bloc, with the hosts arguing that many of these voters consistently elect Democrats despite rejecting tax increases and government expansion at the ballot box. Could this contradiction make Lopez's path even harder? The discussion then pivots to national media controversy after Tucker Carlson's remarks about war and surrender spark outrage and debate about Israel, U.S. foreign policy, and the responsibilities of influential commentators. Finally, the hosts look ahead to the next election cycle and raise a sobering possibility: could Michael Bennett become Colorado's next governor? If so, what would that mean for policies involving taxes, guns, health care, and TABOR? As internal battles within the Colorado GOP intensify, the hour closes with a warning that the biggest political threat may come from division within the party itself. HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason turns to a topic nearly everyone has an opinion on: America's tipping culture. A new survey claims that more than 80% of Americans believe tipping has spiraled out of control, and John, Andy, and Charlie dive into the growing backlash. Why are customers suddenly being asked to tip everywhere—from coffee counters to fast-food registers—and is the constant pressure pushing people past their limit? Listeners join the conversation with real-life stories about restaurant service, tipping etiquette, and the difference between earning a gratuity and expecting one. When does great service deserve a bigger reward, and when does the digital screen asking for a tip feel more like a demand than a thank-you? The discussion also explores how tipping works in other industries, including casinos, breakfast diners, and service jobs where tips traditionally mattered most. But as technology, taxes, and payment systems change, could the entire tipping model be shifting? With callers weighing in and strong opinions on both sides, the hour asks a question many Americans are now wondering: has tipping reached its breaking point?

John Rush opens with plumber Mike Jansen of Plumberoos, discussing spring plumbing issues that many homeowners overlook. Why do hose bibs fail even after a mild winter? And what simple maintenance steps—like removing hoses or flushing water heaters—could prevent costly repairs? From home maintenance, the conversation flows into world affairs. John examines the situation in Iran and the lessons from the 1979 revolution that transformed the country. Could historical parallels offer warnings about ideological movements today? He challenges listeners—especially parents—to encourage young people to study history themselves rather than accept modern narratives at face value. Later, Chris Clements and Paul Fisher of Radiant Mobile introduced a Christian-centered mobile phone service designed to help families protect their children online. This raised the question: could network-level filtering prevent harmful internet content from reaching a device? As technology shapes daily life, John further asks how families can reclaim control over the digital tools their children use. Timestamps 1:08 — Mike Jansen — Owner https://plumberoos.com/ 27:29 — Chris Clements & Paul Fisher — Co-founders https://www.radiantmobile.com/ HOUR 2 Hour 2 explores the intersection of global energy markets, politics, consumer scams, sports, and tax policy. John opens with Daniel Turner of Power the Future, discussing volatility in oil prices and the geopolitical tensions surrounding Iran and the Middle East. Are rising prices really about supply, or are markets reacting to political uncertainty? The conversation examines tanker traffic, energy markets, and how American production could influence the global economy. John then shifts to a warning closer to home: a widespread toll-and-court-summons text-message scam circulating across Colorado. Using QR codes and threats of fines, scammers attempt to panic victims into paying fraudulent charges. John urges listeners to verify suspicious messages directly with the appropriate organization before responding. The hour then lightens as Richard Rush joins the program with a quick tour of Denver sports, including March Madness, NFL roster moves, and the Colorado Avalanche pushing for another championship run. The discussion closes with tax policy as California cracks down on wealthy drivers registering luxury vehicles in Montana to avoid high taxes—raising a larger question: when governments increase taxes and regulations, do they push people to find ways around them? Timestamps 1:10 — Daniel Turner https://www.powerthefuture.com/ HOUR 3 Hour 3 opens with a candid political discussion as Colorado gubernatorial candidate Greg Lopez joins John Rush to explain why he is running as an unaffiliated candidate rather than as a Republican. Can an independent candidate realistically win in Colorado's deeply entrenched two-party system? John challenges Lopez on the math behind that strategy, questioning whether an unaffiliated run could split the conservative vote. The conversation expands to key issues facing Colorado voters: the rising cost of living, housing affordability, development regulations, and ranchers' concerns about wolf reintroduction and rural livelihoods. After Lopez exits, John continues the discussion with callers and listeners, analyzing voter behavior, campaign fundraising, and Colorado's shifting political landscape. Looking at the numbers, he delivers a blunt prediction about the upcoming governor's race—raising the question of whether the outcome may already be set long before November.

On this Friday edition of Rush To Reason, John Rush and Andy Peth dive into rising oil prices, global politics, and the economic forces driving gas prices higher. Could a single executive action dramatically lower fuel costs overnight? And what role do traders, geopolitics, and market psychology play in the price you pay at the pump? Then it's time for Andy Peth's Friday 5-Star Movie Reviews, where he breaks down three very different films hitting theaters. Is Pixar finally returning to form with its latest animated release—or is there more beneath the surface than audiences expect? A bold new reimagining of The Bride of Frankenstein brings big stars and big ideas, but does it actually work? And what happens when a revenge-driven action thriller puts a highly trained mother on the hunt for her kidnapped daughter? Which movie delivers real entertainment? Which ones fall apart? And why might one of these films leave audiences scratching their heads? If you enjoy honest movie reviews, sharp commentary, and conversations that connect culture, politics, and entertainment, this episode of Rush To Reason asks the questions you didn't know you were wondering about. Movie Review Timestamps * 9:50 — Hoppers * 22:59 — The Bride * 36:49 — Protector HOUR 2 What exactly qualifies as a “terrorism movie” in Hollywood? In Hour 2 of Rush To Reason, John, Andy, Richard, and callers take on that question with a fast-paced dive into action films, war movies, and high-stakes thrillers where villains terrorize the world—and heroes fight back. From classic blockbusters like Die Hard, Air Force One, and Speed, to modern war films such as American Sniper, 13 Hours, and The Hurt Locker, the conversation explores how Hollywood portrays terrorism, military operations, and global threats. But the debate quickly widens. Could Top Gun, Iron Man, or even Back to the Future qualify under a broad definition of “terrorists”? What about intense real-world-inspired stories like United 93, Munich, and Captain Phillips? Listeners call in with their favorite picks, sparking a lively back-and-forth packed with iconic quotes, movie trivia, and unforgettable scenes. Along the way, the hosts even touch on the legendary TV series 24, asking whether Jack Bauer might be one of the greatest anti-terror heroes ever written. Which movies truly define the genre? Which ones did the hosts forget? And which films still hold up decades later? If you love action movies, legendary villains, and unforgettable movie moments, this hour of Rush To Reason is packed with surprises.

Https://RushToReason.com HOUR 1 Hour 1 of Rush To Reason opens with John Rush reflecting on the legacy of legendary college football coach Lou Holtz. What made Holtz such an influential leader both on and off the field? Rush honors the impact Holtz had across decades of college football while asking what today's leaders could learn from his faith, discipline, and leadership style. The conversation then turns to breaking political news: Kristi Noem is out as head of Homeland Security. Was this simply a reassignment—or something more significant? Rush examines what may have led to the move and what it could mean politically. The hour also explores a troubling health trend: Americans under 55 are increasingly dying from their first heart attack. Rush discusses new data showing a rise among younger adults and asks what may be driving it—lifestyle changes, vaping, poor nutrition, sedentary habits, or something else entirely. As listeners call in, the discussion expands: Are schools failing kids by eliminating physical activity? Is vaping creating a new addiction crisis? And what role do modern habits play in a generation facing health problems earlier than expected? HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason dives into culture, politics, and global strategy with John Rush and guest Alvin Louis from Courage Is a Habit. The conversation begins with a Supreme Court ruling involving parental rights and school gender policies. Is the decision truly a victory—or only the beginning of a larger fight? Alvin explains why parents cannot assume the battle is over and shares tools to help families hold schools accountable. Rush also explores the deeper divide between freedom and control. Why do conservatives often step back after a political win while the other side continues pushing forward? And what happens when schools begin treating parents as obstacles rather than partners? The discussion then turns to global politics. Rush outlines what he believes could be a major geopolitical shift involving Iran, Middle East stability, global oil routes, and international alliances. Closer to home, Rush highlights surprising infighting among Democrats, including tensions between Colorado leaders and fallout from a high-profile primary loss. Is this the beginning of political cracks that few expected? The hour leaves listeners with a bigger question: are we witnessing chaos—or a strategic reset? Guest Timestamps * 1:09 - Alvin Louis – https://courageisahabit.org/ HOUR 3 Hour 3 features conversations with Jerzee Joe and Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capital, covering topics from climate claims to geopolitics and market strategy. Jerzee Joe challenges several popular narratives. Are cows truly driving climate change, or are key factors missing from the data? Why do some reports claim hundreds of mass shootings each year when the numbers may tell a different story? Joe also revisits immigration politics by comparing modern debates with a Bill Clinton speech that sounds strikingly similar to today's border arguments. Later, Scott Garliss joins the show to discuss the global and financial implications of the Iran conflict. What does rising oil volatility mean for investors? Could disruptions affect China's energy supply, Russia's weapons trade, and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz? Scott also explains how markets often react sharply during geopolitical crises, then stabilize faster than many expect.

Joe also revisits immigration politics by comparing modern debates with a Bill Clinton speech that sounds strikingly similar to today's border arguments. Later, Scott Garliss joins the show to discuss the global and financial implications of the Iran conflict. What does rising oil volatility mean for investors? Could disruptions affect China's energy supply, Russia's weapons trade, and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz? Scott also explains how markets often react sharply during geopolitical crises, then stabilize faster than many expect. The hour raises a larger question: are we watching global chaos—or the early signs of a major strategic shift in power and markets?

Guest host Dr. Scott Faulkner ( https://castlerockregenerativehealth.com) leads Health & Wellness Wednesday on Rush to Reason, joined by Jeremy Sova (biohacker and health optimization researcher), Regina Nabrit (mental health and behavioral health specialist), and later Josh Gardner (peptide expert). The hour opens with a sober reflection on current world tensions and a reminder to stay grounded in faith and perspective—but how do you stay informed without becoming overwhelmed? Regina Nabrit explores the growing mental health crisis tied to social media addiction, dopamine overload, and constant digital stimulation. Are smartphones quietly destroying sleep, relationships, and emotional resilience? The team introduces practical tools—including the “Four D's” strategy—to help listeners regain control of their attention and mental well-being. From there, the conversation pivots into cutting-edge biohacking and longevity science. Jeremy Sova breaks down the importance of biomarkers, vitamin D optimization, omega-3 levels, and targeted supplementation, arguing that modern food alone may no longer provide the nutrients our bodies need. Then the discussion dives even deeper into cellular aging, including the concept of “zombie cells” (senescent cells) that may drive inflammation, disease, and accelerated aging. Could emerging therapies—from natural senolytics to peptides and regenerative medicine—help the body repair itself? What simple steps today could dramatically change your long-term health? HOUR 2 Health & Wellness Wednesday on Rush to Reason, continues as the conversation dives deeper into peptides, cellular energy, and metabolic health, exploring why declining NAD levels may contribute to brain fog, fatigue, and aging. Could new sublingual peptide delivery technology dramatically improve absorption—bypassing digestion and delivering compounds directly into the bloodstream and even past the blood-brain barrier? Josh Gardner explains how peptides such as BPC-157, Thymosin Alpha-1, and GHK-Cu are used to support immune function, tissue repair, and inflammation control. Meanwhile, Jeremy Sova connects the dots between metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance, and modern chronic disease, noting that widely known drugs like GLP-1 treatments (Ozempic-type medications) are themselves peptides. The panel emphasizes the importance of biomarker testing and personalized medicine, warning that many people chase quick fixes without understanding what's actually happening inside their bodies. Could a deeper look at hormones, metabolism, and mitochondrial health add years—maybe even decades—to your healthspan? The discussion builds toward emerging therapies and the possibility that modern regenerative medicine may rewrite the future of aging. HOUR 3 In hour 3 of Rush To Reason, the conversation explores the cutting edge of longevity science, starting with the battle against cellular senescence—“zombie cells”—and simple compounds that may help the body clear them out. Could nutrients like fisetin, quercetin, and omega-3s influence brain inflammation and even neurodegenerative disease pathways? Josh Gardner shares his personal journey into fasting and peptide therapy, explaining how peptides targeting mitochondria, recovery, and growth hormone may help restore cellular energy. The discussion then shifts to telomere length, the protective caps on chromosomes linked to aging. Are therapies like epithalon peptides and hyperbaric oxygen therapy capable of extending healthspan? Jeremy Sova reveals surprising insights from his own continuous glucose monitoring experiments, including which foods caused dramatic metabolic spikes—and which simple habits stabilized blood sugar. Finally, the team tackles stem cell exhaustion, regenerative medicine, and the future of healing. Could emerging therapies—from NAD+ delivery to immune-support peptides like Thymosin Alpha-1—transform how we approach aging, recovery, and disease prevention?

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 https://RushToReason.com dives straight into a political firestorm inside the Colorado Republican Party. John Rush and Andy Peth unpack what Andy witnessed during a marathon State Central Committee meeting the night before—one filled with accusations, power struggles, and an overwhelming vote of “no confidence” against party chair Britta Horn. But what's really happening behind the scenes? Were internal allies secretly working against her, and how much influence does former chair Dave Williams still have inside the party? The conversation widens into a bigger question: is the GOP's current caucus-and-assembly system allowing a tiny fraction of activists to control candidate selection and party leadership? With fewer than 1% of Republicans attending caucus meetings, John and Andy ask whether this insider-driven process is producing candidates who can actually win statewide elections. Could eliminating caucuses and relying on petition access to the primary ballot be the only way to rebuild the party in Colorado? They also challenge supporters of the so-called “Davidian” faction to call in and defend their strategy. Is this movement strengthening the Republican Party—or driving it deeper into defeat? HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason picks up with John and Andy tackling some of the biggest questions raised by listeners. What exactly is a “Davidian,” and why do the hosts believe this faction still holds enormous influence inside the Colorado GOP? As they continue unpacking the party's internal turmoil, they argue the caucus-and-assembly system allows a tiny fraction of activists to control leadership decisions—leaving most Republican voters on the sidelines. Could a statewide petition to eliminate caucuses be the only way to change the political trajectory of Colorado? The conversation then pivots to global strategy. Are U.S. actions against Iran really about protecting Israel, or is something much larger at play? John and Andy outline what they see as a broader geopolitical chessboard involving oil markets, China, Russia, and shifting alliances across the Middle East. Later, they turn to domestic energy politics. Why are resource-rich places like California, Colorado, and even Canada importing energy while restricting their own production? And could policy choices—rather than shortages—be driving rising costs? Through it all, the hosts challenge listeners to think strategically: if political leadership, energy policy, and global alliances are all connected, what happens next? HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason dives deeper into the political turmoil inside the Colorado GOP. John and Andy argue the party's internal battles didn't suddenly appear—they've been building for more than a decade. How did a small faction gain so much influence inside the party, and why do the hosts believe former chair Dave Williams still holds power behind the scenes? John insists the lawsuits and leadership fights are symptoms of a much bigger problem tied to the caucus system itself. The conversation then shifts toward the 2026 election landscape. Is Colorado headed for a massive blue wave—and could the state's divided Republican Party make it even worse? The hosts analyze potential candidates, including Victor Marx and Scott Bottoms, as they debate strategy, messaging, and whether debates even matter this early in a campaign. A listener then raises a provocative question: if statewide victories are unlikely, should Republicans focus on flipping key legislative seats instead? Could a smarter strategy in the House and Senate change the balance of power in Colorado—even if the governor's race is out of reach?

HOUR 1 Is America on the brink of another endless war—or witnessing a swift strategic reset in the Middle East? In Hour 1, John Rush dives headfirst into the escalating conflict with Iran, pushing back against what he calls political fear-mongering from both sides. Do you really need to “gun up,” or is that just opportunism wrapped in panic? John breaks down the War Powers Act, defends presidential authority, and calls out Colorado lawmakers for repeating what he sees as scripted talking points. Is Congress misunderstanding the Constitution—or deliberately distorting it? And could this conflict be over in weeks, not years? He also shares a powerful story from a recent trip to Cabo—an encounter with a self-deported immigrant that sparks a bigger question: Should America create a fast-track path for productive, merit-based citizenship? Plus, insight from caller John on sleeper cells, the Strait of Hormuz, and whether Governor Jared Polis is quietly positioning himself for a 2028 presidential run. Is Iran collapsing faster than the headlines suggest? And is the political class ready for what comes next? HOUR 2 Is the spike in gas prices real—or just market emotion? John opens Hour 2, breaking down oil at $70 a barrel and explaining why America is far less dependent on Middle East imports than a decade ago. Are we reacting to headlines instead of facts? He then tackles the political fallout from the Iran strikes, arguing critics misunderstand presidential war powers—and suggesting deeper ideological roots behind today's anti-Trump sentiment. Is cultural conditioning shaping the national divide more than we realize? The mood shifts when Richard Rush joins the show to talk NASCAR and leadership. How did Michael Jordan's 23XI Racing make history by winning the first three races of the season? Is greatness transferable—and could Jordan's ownership revive the sport? The hour wraps with a car review of the 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Max Platinum—a three-row SUV blending hybrid efficiency, 362 horsepower, all-wheel drive, and family-focused practicality without requiring a plug-in. Is this the sweet spot for modern families? HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason dives straight into high-stakes global politics and Colorado controversy. John Rush welcomes Jim Pfaff of The Conservative Caucus to break down the escalating conflict with Iran. Is this a calculated, strategic reset of the global stage? Could weakening Iran reshape Russia, China, and even Ukraine? And is President Trump executing a bold, short-term operation—or taking a historic gamble? The War Powers Act, congressional authority, and America's long-term foreign policy all come under the microscope. Later, Michael Smith, State Director for the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB), joins John to sound the alarm on Colorado's HB 1054. Is this really about worker safety—or a new layer of regulation that could crush small businesses? What happens when state government stacks enforcement on top of federal OSHA? John also tackles Denver Mayor Mike Johnston's order to shield residents from ICE. Can a city legally interfere with federal immigration enforcement—or is this political grandstanding aimed at national headlines? Big questions. High stakes. You won't want to miss it.

It's Friday, which means 5-Star Movie Reviews with Andy Peth, joined by Luke Cashman and Ashly Carter — and this hour did not disappoint. At 11:07, Andy dives into K-Pops, starring Anderson .Paak. Is it a heartfelt father-son redemption story wrapped in vibrant K-pop spectacle… or an overlong vanity project? Andy praises the chemistry, cultural fusion, and music, but ultimately says weak writing and poor editing sink it. His verdict? Quality: 1½ stars | Political: 3 | Moral/Religious: 3. Would you spend your money on it — or stream something else? Then at 27:35, it's Scream 7. Can Neve Campbell's return as Sidney Prescott revive the franchise? Andy likes the aging “final girl” angle and the warning about AI deception — but says the second half collapses with laughable reveals and unrealistic kills. Final score: Quality: 1 star | Political: 3½ | Moral/Religious: 3. Is this horror sequel suspenseful… or unintentionally hilarious? If you love sharp takes, bold ratings, and zero sugarcoating, Andy Peth brings it. Want to know which film he says is actually worth your time? You'll have to listen. HOUR 2 Guest host Andy Peth, joined by Luke Cashman and Ashly Carter, turns Hour 2 into a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud showdown: movies with one-word titles. Sounds simple? Think again. From Taken and the debate over whether “fun” equals “good,” to rapid-fire classics like Casablanca, Jaws, Gladiator, Parasite, Titanic, Psycho, and Hereditary, the crew blends nostalgia, trivia, and sharp cultural commentary. Which trilogy would you binge back-to-back—Star Wars, Avatar, The Matrix, Nolan's Batman? And what makes a single word—Alien, Rebecca, Deliverance, Mulan, Ghostbusters—so powerful it defines a generation? Callers jump in with deep cuts and curveballs (Zardoz, Rollerball, Sharknado), while the hosts trade iconic quotes and debate horror films that are “tough watches.” Is Aliens better than Alien? Did Jaws change human behavior forever? And which movie moment still gives you chills? It's part trivia battle, part film school, part comedy roast—proving that sometimes one word is all you need.

HOUR 2 Guest host Andy Peth, joined by Luke Cashman and Ashly Carter, turns Hour 2 into a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud showdown: movies with one-word titles. Sounds simple? Think again. From Taken and the debate over whether “fun” equals “good,” to rapid-fire classics like Casablanca, Jaws, Gladiator, Parasite, Titanic, Psycho, and Hereditary, the crew blends nostalgia, trivia, and sharp cultural commentary. Which trilogy would you binge back-to-back—Star Wars, Avatar, The Matrix, Nolan's Batman? And what makes a single word—Alien, Rebecca, Deliverance, Mulan, Ghostbusters—so powerful it defines a generation? Callers jump in with deep cuts and curveballs (Zardoz, Rollerball, Sharknado), while the hosts trade iconic quotes and debate horror films that are “tough watches.” Is Aliens better than Alien? Did Jaws change human behavior forever? And which movie moment still gives you chills? It's part trivia battle, part film school, part comedy roast—proving that sometimes one word is all you need.

Encore Presentation of Hour 1 for February 12, 2026 HOUR 1 Hour 1 of Rush To Reason 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. Victory breaks down immune dysfunction, delayed screening guidelines, and why early detection may matter more than ever. They also explore vaccines through a strict risk-versus-benefit lens, questioning long-term effects, unresolved scientific gaps, and why so many questions were never answered before mandates 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? Encore Presentation of Hour 1 for February 12, 2026 HOUR 2 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.

HOUR 1 Encore Presentation of Hour 1 February 11, 2025 On this Health & Wellness Wednesday episode of Rush To Reason, 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 Encore Presentation of Hour 1 February 25, 2026 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 hosts Andy Peth and Tanner Coleman, joined by Ashley Carter, take the mic for a fast-moving and thought-provoking Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com, blending humor, cultural commentary, and serious political analysis ahead of a high-stakes State of the Union address. What does America actually want to hear right now—and more importantly, what are voters tired of hearing? Drawing on perspectives from younger Americans, the conversation explores unity, leadership tone, media influence, and why political messaging may be missing the mark. Should Donald Trump lean into confrontation, or would calm leadership and authenticity resonate more with voters heading into the midterms? The hosts debate immigration narratives, public perception, economic concerns, and generational expectations, asking whether optimism and shared national identity could shift the political climate. Andy Peth even outlines his own vision for a winning speech—centered on patriotism, progress, and common ground—sparking a lively exchange about what leadership should sound like in a divided era. Is this a roadmap for political success… or a missed opportunity waiting to happen? If you want insight into how everyday Americans—especially younger voices—are interpreting today's political moment, this hour delivers questions you won't stop thinking about. HOUR 2 Guest hosts Andy Peth and Tanner Coleman, joined by Ashley Carter, dive into one of the most challenging political questions of today: Why do young voters and independents seem so difficult for conservatives to reach—and is that perception wrong? Through candid discussion and generational insight, the hosts explore how culture, education, media narratives, and personal identity shape political loyalty long before adulthood. Is the divide really about policy—or about trust, perception, and feeling controlled? The conversation examines why many young Americans see one party as restrictive while viewing the other as liberating, even when real-world policies suggest something different. Caller Brett from Thornton joins the show, adding perspective on economic expectations, class messaging, and how early beliefs about success and ownership influence political attitudes. But the hour doesn't stop at diagnosis. Andy Peth introduces a surprising strategy: stop trying to “win” debates and instead lower hostility by recognizing shared motives first. Could empathy and understanding succeed where arguments fail? If political conversations feel impossible today, this hour asks the question everyone is thinking—are we talking to each other the wrong way? HOUR 3 Guest hosts Andy Peth and Tanner Coleman welcome recurring guest Jerzee Joe (host of the Jerzee Joe Podcast) for a fast-moving hour blending humor, political strategy, and headline analysis. The conversation begins with a behind-the-scenes look at the State of the Union: can one speech reshape public perception, and does tone matter more than policy? Andy and Jerzee Joe debate whether leadership today requires confrontation—or calm confidence aimed at persuading the middle. The discussion then shifts to major stories flying under the radar: alleged pay-to-play political access in Colorado, media fairness questions involving The View and FCC equal-time rules, and workplace controversies tied to discrimination and DEI policies. They also examine gig-economy legislation targeting Amazon drivers and ask whether regulation helps workers or quietly raises costs for everyone. The hour closes with a troubling immigration fraud case involving fake lawyers and judges, raising a larger question: are broken systems creating opportunities for exploitation? From national politics to local investigations, this hour challenges listeners to look beyond headlines and ask what's really happening behind the scenes.
