Rush To Reason

Andy Peth fills in for John Rush on the final show of https://RushToReason.com 2025, joined by Ashley Carter, setting the tone with sharp humor, cultural commentary, and big-picture questions about the year that was. What were the biggest stories of 2025—and which ones are still shaping the future right now? As the conversation warms up, Andy challenges how people consume news, satire, and so-called “fact checks,” asking whether critical thinking has quietly disappeared in the internet age. Add in some much-needed laughter from stand-up comedian Brian Kiley, and Hour 1 becomes a fast-moving mix of humor, skepticism, and reflection. Which headlines really mattered this year—and did we miss the warning signs along the way? HOUR 2 Lights up, curtain rises—Hour 2 turns into a cinematic rollercoaster as Andy breaks down the best, worst, and most surprising movies of 2025. Which films delivered knockout performances and unexpected brilliance? Which ones looked promising… only to completely fall apart? From standout surprises like Weapons and Karate Kid: Legends, to baffling misfires that left audiences shaking their heads, Andy pulls no punches. Who earned Best Actor and Best Actress honors—and were there performances that didn't get the credit they deserved? Which highly anticipated releases became the year's biggest letdowns? And which films crossed the line into “needlessly woke,” distracting from story and substance? If you want to know which movies are worth your time—and which ones to avoid at all costs—this is the ultimate year-end movie verdict. Buckle up… this is movie talk with teeth.

Guest host Andy Peth steps in for John Rush on https://RushToReason.com. and Luke Cashman joins him. They set the tone with humor, then pivot to the most controversial issues shaping America today. What do crime statistics say about gun ownership? Why do attackers target "gun-free zones"? As Andy and Luke clash and converge, the conversation moves past slogans. They discuss culture, deterrence, mental health, and personal responsibility. Listeners are challenged to reconsider widely accepted narratives. Real-world examples and historical comparisons raise uncomfortable questions. Do limiting tools stop violence, or just change its method? Is freedom a risk, or does it make society safer? The hour shifts into a bigger debate on liberty, touching on fear, control, and why younger generations may be uneasy with others' freedoms. With sharp analysis, satire, and blunt honesty, Hour 1 sets the stage. It offers a deeper look at crime trends, civil liberties, and the values behind America's debates. Are we solving problems, or just avoiding the real ones? HOUR 2 Andy Peth and Luke continue in hour 2 for a fast-moving, high-stakes conversation that spans economics, culture, faith, and policy. Starting with a blunt reassessment of Donald Trump's economic strategy, challenging dire predictions of tariffs and inflation while highlighting wage growth, energy policy, and stark cost-of-living differences between red and blue states. Is an economic boom ahead—and why don't people feel it yet? The conversation then pivots to one of the country's biggest identity questions: Is America still a Christian nation? Andy and Luke explore Christianity not as a forced belief, but as a system built on choice, reward, and consequence, finding unexpected common ground despite different worldviews. The hour closes with a sharp cultural turn—questioning Hollywood's direction, the politics of “woke” entertainment, and the ethics and cost of gender-affirming medical procedures for minors. Should children be making irreversible decisions? And how do economics, ideology, and compassion collide? Hour 2 challenges assumptions and dares listeners to rethink the narratives driving today's debates. HOUR 3 Andy Peth teams up with Jerzee Joe for a gripping third hour that asks some of the most uncomfortable questions facing America right now. Is the country truly abandoning Christianity? As shocking statistics reveal how fast religious affiliation and church attendance are collapsing, the discussion challenges listeners to ask why—and what replaces faith when belief disappears. The hour then turns toward truth itself. In an age of viral clips and artificial intelligence, how much of what we “know” is actually real? From misleading tax claims to fake AI-generated videos, Andy and Joe warn that confirmation bias may be doing more damage than political opponents ever could. Are Americans being deceived—or willingly deceiving themselves? As the tension builds, even voices from the left begin sounding alarms. When commentators like Bill Maher start questioning socialism, public media, and government narratives, does it signal a cultural turning point—or panic? The hour closes with explosive allegations of massive fraud in Minnesota uncovered by independent journalist Nick Shirley. If one YouTuber can find it, why didn't the state? And when voters step into the booth, will accountability finally matter—or will loyalty win again?

On https://rushtoreason.com, guest host Andy Peth fills in for John Rush and is joined by Tanner Coleman. Together, they deliver a fast-paced, unapologetic Hour 1. The pair set the tone for a no-nonsense conversation about culture, leadership, and values. As the year winds down, the discussion starts with humor and reflection. Then, they focus on California's political direction—new laws, wildfire mismanagement, and what critics call a growing gap between common sense and governance. The hour then sharpens its focus on border security, patriotism, and race. The hosts push back against claims from Los Angeles leadership about Hispanic Border Patrol agents. Are these men and women motivated by money, or by love of country and respect for the rule of law? Using real quotes, vivid analogies, and pointed questions, Andy and Tanner challenge listeners. They urge the audience to reconsider media narratives and the real-world consequences of mass illegal immigration. The conversation shifts again. This time, it moves to culture and morality. Humor explores a serious question: do we still teach why things are wrong, or just warn of consequences? That thread sets up the next topics: wealth, taxes, voting, and whether “fairness” quietly replaced personal responsibility. HOUR 2 Andy returns for a hard-hitting Hour 2 alongside Tanner, opening with an intense deep dive into the massive Minnesota fraud scandal tied to COVID-era programs. How did billions in taxpayer dollars allegedly vanish—and why were whistleblowers ignored or silenced? Andy and Tanner argue this wasn't just a bureaucratic failure, but a political one, repeatedly questioning the role of Tim Walz and asking how accountability might look if a different political movement were involved. Mid-hour, the tone shifts as Richard Rush joins the show, bringing weekly NFL picks, playoff implications, and late-season drama. Which teams are collapsing at the worst possible time—and which quarterbacks are carrying franchises on their backs? From draft positioning to coaching courage, the sports conversation mirrors the political theme: leadership matters, mindset matters, and excuses only go so far. Blending sharp analysis, dark humor, and rapid-fire debate, Hour 2 challenges listeners to question media narratives, political double standards, and even how success—or failure—is measured, whether in government or on the field. HOUR 3 Andy Peth and Tanner return for a politically charged Hour 3 with special guest Eli Bremer, taking a hard look at the future of Republican politics in Colorado and beyond. What happens when party unity breaks down—and who pays the price when candidates prioritize personal brand over winning elections? The hour opens with a candid discussion about internal GOP fractures, performative politics, and the fallout surrounding Marjorie Taylor Greene, raising tough questions about loyalty, teamwork, and governing with slim majorities. The conversation then shifts to Colorado, where Eli walks through the importance of vetting candidates in competitive districts like CD8 and CD3, highlighting incumbents Gabe Evans and Jeff Hurd—and warning how fringe challengers can jeopardize winnable seats. The hour crescendos with a blunt assessment of Joe Altman's newly announced gubernatorial run, exploring how extreme rhetoric and unchecked behavior can turn a difficult race into a political disaster. The message is clear: in a purple state, credibility, discipline, and strategy matter—or the consequences will be severe.

Friday means 5-Star Movie Reviews, and Andy Peth doesn't pull any punches. Joined by co-hosts Luke and Ashley, Andy dives deep into two very different films—asking the question every moviegoer wants answered: Is this worth my time? Andy opens with Marty Supreme, a performance-driven drama anchored by Timothée Chalamet. While Andy praises Chalamet's acting as elite—possibly among the year's best—he calls the film exhausting, overly long, and emotionally draining. His verdict? 2.5 stars overall, with a strong performance buried inside a movie many viewers may find frustrating or boring. Is great acting enough if you don't enjoy the story? Next up is Anaconda, a comedic adventure starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black. Andy appreciates the cast, the shorter runtime, and a handful of funny moments—but says the script, humor, and pacing fall short. His final score: 1.5 stars for quality, calling it watchable but forgettable. Which movie divides audiences the most? Which one sounds like a total miss—or a guilty curiosity? Andy breaks it down so you don't waste your movie night. Marty Supreme - Review begins at 17:39 * ⭐ Quality: ⭐⭐½ (Andy's personal take: ⭐½) *

Guest host Andy Peth fills in for John Rush and is joined by Luke Cashman and Ashley Carter for a candid, emotionally charged hour that tackles grief, leadership, politics, and persuasion in the age of social media. The conversation begins with a thoughtful discussion surrounding Erica Kirk and the intense public scrutiny she has faced following the assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA. Is there a “right” way to grieve when the entire world is watching? And how much grace should the public extend to someone thrust into leadership during unimaginable loss? The hour then pivots to a hard conversation about politics and strategy heading into 2026. Andy challenges fellow conservatives to ask an uncomfortable question: how do Trump supporters win over swing voters? Using President Trump's controversial post about Rob Reiner as a case study, the panel debates tone, messaging, and the danger of blind loyalty. Is criticism a weakness—or a strength? And can acknowledging mistakes actually make a movement more persuasive? This hour is honest, uncomfortable at times, and deeply relevant. Are conservatives helping their cause—or hurting it? HOUR 2 Andy, Luke, and Ashley dive into a fast-moving Hour 2 packed with pop culture, faith, and a hard look at Hollywood's struggles. The hour opens with Andy's energetic and humorous commentary on The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants. Is it truly a kids' movie—or stuck awkwardly between adult nostalgia and childish humor? Andy breaks down what works, what doesn't, and why audiences may be divided. The conversation shifts to Angel Studios' animated film David, a biblical retelling filled with stunning visuals and surprisingly strong music—but does it hold kids' attention? Andy praises its faith-forward message while questioning its pacing and storytelling choices. In the final segment, the panel tackles a bigger question: Why are blockbusters struggling in 2025? From Avatar: Fire and Ash to Wicked: For Good, Andy analyzes box office drops, audience fatigue, and why even massive franchises may be losing momentum. Is Hollywood losing its grip—or simply misreading its audience? HOUR 3 Hour 3 opens with Andy welcoming Jerzee Joe back, host of the Jerzee Joe podcast (https://www.jerzeejoe.com). The hour blends sharp political analysis with blunt humor, as Joe and Andy dive into foreign policy, economics, and the cultural issues shaping 2026. They begin with a discussion on Venezuela, sanctioned oil seizures, and the Maduro regime—raising questions about economic pressure, national security, and America's global posture. From there, the tone turns somber with a serious warning about drunk driving during the holidays, sparked by a tragic DUI death. The conversation then pivots to the economy, highlighting a stunning 4.3% GDP growth report, shrinking government payrolls, and what Joe describes as an “avalanche” of private-sector investment coming into the U.S. Could massive construction projects, factory builds, and AI infrastructure fuel a multi-year economic boom, and are voters about to feel the economic shift? The hour closes with an assessment of Democratic infighting, collapsing approval ratings, affordability messaging, and what it all could mean heading into the 2026 midterms.

Filling in for John Rush, Andy Peth teams up with Tanner Coleman for a fiery Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com that dives straight into culture, character, and controversy. What does it really mean to show respect during the holidays — and why has something as simple as saying “Merry Christmas” become a flashpoint? Caller Bob, an Army veteran, joins the conversation with a timeless piece of wisdom: can one simple response — “thank you, and the same to you” — defuse today's cultural tension? Then Andy unpacks a viral Target incident involving employee Jeannie and a customer upset over a political shirt. Was the public apology that followed sincere… or just damage control? And if someone can berate a retail worker over politics, should they be trusted in healthcare? Andy shares a deeply personal COVID-era story that raises chilling questions about bias where lives are on the line. The hour closes with a no-holds-barred look at illegal immigration — from self-deportation incentives to rising costs in wages, welfare, healthcare, and housing. Who's really paying the price? And how long can cities like Denver keep up? Bold opinions. Real stories. Tough questions. Are you ready to challenge the narrative? Tune in. HR2 Filling in for John Rush, Andy Peth and Tanner Coleman turn Hour 2 of Rush to Reason into a high-energy mix of football and politics. Richard Rush joins the show to break down a packed slate of holiday NFL matchups — Cowboys vs. Commanders, Lions vs. Vikings, and a battered Chiefs team facing a fired-up Broncos squad. Is this a statement game for Denver? Can Joe Burrow keep rolling? And which teams are peaking just in time for the playoffs? The trio goes rapid-fire through the rest of the schedule, debating blowouts, trap games, and even draft-position drama. Who looks like the best team in football right now — and who's in free fall as January approaches? Then Andy shifts gears with a bold challenge for Colorado politics. What message could actually win in a blue state? Could a simple slogan — “You do you” — resonate with unaffiliated voters and put personal freedom back at the center of the debate? Big predictions. Sharp analysis. And a campaign blueprint that sparks conversation. Are you ready for football, freedom, and straight talk? Tune in to Rush to Reason. HR3 Filling in for John Rush, Andy Peth teams up with Jerzee Joe for a bold, no-holds-barred Hour 3 that dives into economics, education, and the future of America. Are voters being encouraged to “vote themselves other people's money”? What really happens when wealth is taxed, redistributed… or driven out of the country? Andy and Joe challenge socialism, break down tax myths, and argue that prosperity doesn't “trickle” — it avalanches through jobs, wages, and communities. They revisit the Reagan years, quote JFK, and ask: Do lower taxes actually grow the economy? And when it comes to college, is today's sky-high tuition worth it if graduates can't find careers? With real-world examples, they question whether higher education still aligns with the job market — or whether trade skills and engineering offer a smarter path. From wealth creation to student debt to job satisfaction, this hour pushes hard questions: What builds opportunity? What traps people in dependency? And what kind of America do we really want? Big ideas. Tough truths. Can you handle it?

Filling in for John Rush, Andy Peth teams up with Tanner Coleman for a fiery Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com that dives straight into culture, character, and controversy. What does it really mean to show respect during the holidays — and why has something as simple as saying “Merry Christmas” become a flashpoint? Caller Bob, an Army veteran, joins the conversation with a timeless piece of wisdom: can one simple response — “thank you, and the same to you” — defuse today's cultural tension? Then Andy unpacks a viral Target incident involving employee Jeannie and a customer upset over a political shirt. Was the public apology that followed sincere… or just damage control? And if someone can berate a retail worker over politics, should they be trusted in healthcare? Andy shares a deeply personal COVID-era story that raises chilling questions about bias where lives are on the line. The hour closes with a no-holds-barred look at illegal immigration — from self-deportation incentives to rising costs in wages, welfare, healthcare, and housing. Who's really paying the price? And how long can cities like Denver keep up? Bold opinions. Real stories. Tough questions. Are you ready to challenge the narrative? Tune in. HR2 Filling in for John Rush, Andy Peth and Tanner Coleman turn Hour 2 of Rush to Reason into a high-energy mix of football and politics. Richard Rush joins the show to break down a packed slate of holiday NFL matchups — Cowboys vs. Commanders, Lions vs. Vikings, and a battered Chiefs team facing a fired-up Broncos squad. Is this a statement game for Denver? Can Joe Burrow keep rolling? And which teams are peaking just in time for the playoffs? The trio goes rapid-fire through the rest of the schedule, debating blowouts, trap games, and even draft-position drama.

Hour 1 of Rush to Reason ignites with John Rush joined by physician Dr. Kelly Victory and healthcare industry expert Steve House for a bold, no-holds-barred deep dive into America's health crisis. What's really driving soaring healthcare costs — accidents, or lifestyle diseases like obesity, diabetes, and hypertension? Why do “quick-fix” drugs promise miracles while risking serious side effects? Dr. Kelly and Steve challenge listeners to rethink weight loss, chronic disease, and personal responsibility, exposing how incentives in medicine and the pharmaceutical industry may be steering care in the wrong direction. They tackle blood work, drug pricing, middlemen, and the ethics of modern treatment — asking whether the system rewards sickness more than health. Is Obamacare beyond repair? Are rural hospitals on the brink? And could medical freedom begin with simple daily choices instead of another pill or injection? This hour pulls no punches, blending hard truths with practical insight as Dr. Kelly Victory and Steve House urge listeners to reclaim control of their health in 2026. Are you ready to hear what the healthcare system won't tell you? No Middleman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQhsPLcFwN8&t=70s HR2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason opens with John Rush joined by Norton Rainey, CEO of ACE Scholarships (https://www.acescholarships.org/), for a powerful conversation on school choice and education reform. Could a new federal tax credit change everything for Colorado families? Why is Governor Jared Polis breaking ranks with his party to support competition in education — and what could that mean for public, charter, and private schools? Rainey lays out how parental choice could reshape classrooms and create a better future for kids. Then the hour shifts gears as John tackles real-world preparedness, sharing his own experience living through a prolonged power outage. Are utility shutdowns about safety — or driven by lawsuits and liability? What happens when the grid goes dark, and are you ready to handle 72 hours without power? From generators and food storage to EVs as backup power sources, John and callers dig into resilience, self-reliance, and the choices families must make in uncertain times. Education, energy, preparedness, and freedom — can one hour spark a wake-up call you didn't expect? HR3 Hour 3 of Rush to Reason delivers a powerful mix of hard truth and heartfelt inspiration as John Rush is joined by Jerzee Joe and special guest Jerry Schimel of Best Day Ministries. The hour opens with Joe dissecting a tragic plane crash and the split-second decisions that can mean life or death. From there, the conversation tackles big ideas — dependence on the state, “chemtrail” legislation, retail theft mandates, and whether electric buses make sense in cold climates. Are ideology and virtue signaling replacing common sense? Health and culture collide as Joe raises the impact of sleep on longevity, while John weighs in on President Trump's latest speech and the role of the Fed — and calls out clickbait influencers driving outrage for profit. Then the tone shifts as Jerry Schimel shares his journey into Best Day Ministries (https://bestdayministries.org/), a nonprofit that gives adults with disabilities meaningful work, dignity, and community. What happens when inclusion replaces isolation? Can purpose change lives? From aviation to politics to compassion, this hour challenges how we think — and how we live.

Hour 1 of Rush to Reason sets a powerful tone for Health and Wellness Wednesday as John Rush welcomes guests who challenge listeners to rethink stress, purpose, and personal health during the most demanding season of the year. Financial expert Al Smith of Golden Eagle Financial (https://goldeneaglefinancialltd.com/) opens with urgent year-end reminders and a bigger question: what if the most meaningful gift isn't money at all, but service to those quietly struggling around us? The conversation then turns inward with Owen Marcus, founder and CEO of MELD (Men's Emotional Leadership Development / https://meld.community) and author of Grow Up: A Man's Guide to Emotional Maturity. Why do so many men try to carry holiday pressure alone? Owen explains how chronic stress affects the body and reveals simple tools — breathwork, connection, and co-regulation — that can restore resilience when life feels overwhelming. Finally, Dr. Julie Gatz dives into “jingle belly” season, exposing how skipping breakfast, dehydration, cravings, and digestive distress may be sabotaging energy and brain health. Could smarter food choices, hydration, and listening to your gut be the key to surviving the holidays feeling stronger instead of stuffed? This hour teases practical insights that just might change how you finish the year. When ordering from https://naturessources.com/ or calling 800-827-7656, use code: RADIO for a discount. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason delivers a fast-moving mix of leadership, local outrage, and global politics as John Rush challenges listeners to think bigger about accountability and strength. The hour opens with Richard Battle (https://richardbattle.com), author and leadership expert, who breaks down why great leaders stay calm under pressure while poor leaders panic. Drawing on powerful moments from history — Apollo 13, Gettysburg, and the Battle of the Bulge — Richard asks: when everything is on the line, do you react emotionally or lead with clarity and confidence? The conversation then turns fiery as John takes on Colorado's power outages, questions Xcel Energy, and lawsuits tied to the Marshall Fire, and asks whether politics and the courts are leaving everyday people in the dark. Who's really responsible — utilities, lawmakers, judges, or underprepared homeowners? Hour 2 closes with Sunny Kutcher of Young Americans Against Socialism (https://www.yaas.org), diving into President Trump's tough stance on cartels, border security, and Venezuela. Is this saber-rattling… or strength through peace? From fentanyl deaths to socialist collapse, Sunny challenges listeners to look at history and ask: what should America do when families and freedoms are at stake? HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush to Reason tackles high-stakes economics and global power as John Rush welcomes two sharp minds to break down what's next for America. Jim Paff of https://theconservativecaucus.com previews President Trump's Oval Office address, asking: Will Trump make the case that inflation has plateaued, confront corruption in Venezuela, and call out the Federal Reserve for holding back growth? Jim warns about China's influence in our hemisphere, the rise of NGO power, and why the Monroe Doctrine still matters. Is bold leadership abroad the key to stability at home? The hour then shifts into market reality with Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capital (https://www.bentpinecapital.com), who dives into tech stock sell-offs, inflation data, and why the Fed's rate decisions affect everything from credit cards to mortgages. Scott also unpacks China's weakening economy, Trump's tariff strategy, and where smart money could move next. Could small-cap stocks be the sleeper play for 2026? From debt and inflation to trade wars and opportunity, Hour 3 asks: are we ready for the economic crossroads ahead?

From debt and inflation to trade wars and opportunity, Hour 3 asks: are we ready for the economic crossroads ahead?

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with urgency as John Rush and Andy Peth react to wind warnings and potential power shutoffs, asking a simple but critical question: Are you actually prepared if the lights go out? From practical readiness tips to wildfire mitigation realities, the conversation quickly turns to what preparedness really looks like in modern Colorado. The hour then pivots into one of today's biggest consumer threats: holiday scams supercharged by AI. John and Andy break down how AI-generated voices, fake bank calls, and lookalike websites are making fraud harder than ever to spot. What happens when a call sounds exactly like your bank—or even a family member? John shares a real-world example that reinforces one iron rule: always call the number on the back of your card. Next comes “The 12 Scams of Christmas”, exposing fake delivery texts, counterfeit tickets, bogus charities, gift-card demands, and social media ads offering deals that are simply impossible. If it feels too good to be true—why do people still fall for it? The hour closes with a candid discussion on antisemitism, misinformation, and ideological drift, asking why resentment and conspiracy thinking are gaining traction—and who benefits when they do. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason takes a hard look at why America is losing its innovation edge—and what it could cost the country if nothing changes. John Rush is joined by Randy Landreneau, president of U.S. Inventor (https://usinventor.org), who explains how the America Invents Act of 2011 quietly shifted power away from independent inventors and toward massive corporations. Is the patent system still protecting the “inventor in the garage,” or has it become a barrier designed to invalidate ideas after the fact? From there, John and Andy widen the lens, asking deeper questions about free markets, profit motive, and innovation itself. Why do socialist systems consistently fall behind in invention? Why do people move toward freer economies—and away from more controlled ones? And what can the auto industry, heavy-duty trucks, and even Hollywood teach us about the role of competition versus guaranteed outcomes? The hour challenges long-held assumptions about education, collaboration, and creativity, arguing that competition—not consensus—drives breakthroughs. If innovation depends on risk and reward, what happens when both are removed? And can America reclaim the system that once made it the world's innovation powerhouse? HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason turns into a no-nonsense strategy session as John Rush and Andy Peth confront the harsh realities facing Colorado Republicans heading into the governor's race. With nearly 20 GOP candidates crowding the field, they ask the question no one wants to answer: How can a fractured party win in a deep-blue state without unity, money, or momentum? John and Andy dissect the growing online faction wars between supporters of leading candidates, warning that troll campaigns, loyalty tests, and ideological purity are actively repelling persuadable voters. They argue the field must narrow quickly—and that winning in Colorado requires more than being “right.” It takes energy, charisma, fundraising power, and the ability to reach the middle. The conversation pivots into candid evaluations of the top contenders, including Victor Marx, Scott Bottoms, Mark Baisley, and Teller County Sheriff Jason Mikesell, examining who can realistically build a movement without alienating the base or collapsing in the general election. Is Colorado looking for a safe choice—or a political unicorn? And can Republicans adapt to the state they're actually running in, not the one they wish they had?

Next comes “The 12 Scams of Christmas”, exposing fake delivery texts, counterfeit tickets, bogus charities, gift-card demands, and social media ads offering deals that are simply impossible. If it feels too good to be true—why do people still fall for it? The hour closes with a candid discussion on antisemitism, misinformation, and ideological drift, asking why resentment and conspiracy thinking are gaining traction—and who benefits when they do. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason takes a hard look at why America is losing its innovation edge—and what it could cost the country if nothing changes. John Rush is joined by Randy Landreneau, president of U.S. Inventor (https://usinventor.org), who explains how the America Invents Act of 2011 quietly shifted power away from independent inventors and toward massive corporations. Is the patent system still protecting the “inventor in the garage,” or has it become a barrier designed to invalidate ideas after the fact? From there, John and Andy widen the lens, asking deeper questions about free markets, profit motive, and innovation itself. Why do socialist systems consistently fall behind in invention? Why do people move toward freer economies—and away from more controlled ones? And what can the auto industry, heavy-duty trucks, and even Hollywood teach us about the role of competition versus guaranteed outcomes? The hour challenges long-held assumptions about education, collaboration, and creativity, arguing that competition—not consensus—drives breakthroughs. If innovation depends on risk and reward, what happens when both are removed? And can America reclaim the system that once made it the world's innovation powerhouse? HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason turns into a no-nonsense strategy session as John Rush and Andy Peth confront the harsh realities facing Colorado Republicans heading into the governor's race. With nearly 20 GOP candidates crowding the field, they ask the question no one wants to answer: How can a fractured party win in a deep-blue state without unity, money, or momentum? John and Andy dissect the growing online faction wars between supporters of leading candidates, warning that troll campaigns, loyalty tests, and ideological purity are actively repelling persuadable voters. They argue the field must narrow quickly—and that winning in Colorado requires more than being “right.” It takes energy, charisma, fundraising power, and the ability to reach the middle. The conversation pivots into candid evaluations of the top contenders, including Victor Marx, Scott Bottoms, Mark Baisley, and Teller County Sheriff Jason Mikesell, examining who can realistically build a movement without alienating the base or collapsing in the general election. Is Colorado looking for a safe choice—or a political unicorn? And can Republicans adapt to the state they're actually running in, not the one they wish they had?

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with urgency as John Rush and Andy Peth react to wind warnings and potential power shutoffs, asking a simple but critical question: Are you actually prepared if the lights go out? From practical readiness tips to wildfire mitigation realities, the conversation quickly turns to what preparedness really looks like in modern Colorado. The hour then pivots into one of today's biggest consumer threats: holiday scams supercharged by AI.

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com is raw, unscripted, and emotionally charged as John Rush confronts some of the country's toughest cultural and moral questions. What happens when heated rhetoric spills into real-world violence? Who is responsible when words fuel hatred—and where should the line be drawn? John tackles antisemitism head-on, calling out bigotry wherever it appears. He urges listeners to look beyond politics to examine belief systems, accountability, and moral consistency. Can society condemn violence while excusing the ideology behind it? And why is it acceptable to target one group while fiercely defending others? The hour also turns to media influence and political leadership, with John offering blunt analysis on how public figures should respond in moments of tragedy—and how missteps can deepen division. Refusing partisan blinders, he holds everyone to the same standard of decency, timing, and restraint. Fast-paced, passionate, and unapologetic, Hour 1 sets a serious tone and urges listeners to question their assumptions, engage in respectful dialogue, and take action toward fostering understanding beyond the headlines. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason blends hard truths with practical insight as John Rush welcomes Dr. Josh McConkey, MD, (https://www.weightbehindthespear.com/home) a board-certified emergency physician who practices in both the U.S. and Australia. Drawing on firsthand medical experience, Dr. McConkie breaks down the mental-health dangers of teen social media use, the fallout from Australia's controversial youth ban, and why parental responsibility—not government mandates—may be the real solution. What warning signs should parents never ignore? And are bans even enforceable in a digital world? The hour then pivots to listener calls and cultural analysis, as John confronts antisemitism within political movements, warning that internal division and ideological blind spots could fracture the conservative coalition itself. To close the hour, John is joined by his son Richard Rush for a high-energy sports and auto segment. They break down the Broncos' shifting playoff outlook and major NFL storylines, then finish with a Drive Radio car review of the 2026 Mazda CX-70 Turbo S, exploring its mild-hybrid boost, luxury feel, and real-world drivability. Serious, fast-moving, and unexpectedly fun—Hour 2 keeps listeners thinking until the last minute. HOUR 3 Hour 3 dives headfirst into some of the most controversial and consequential issues shaping America right now. John Rush is joined by Alvin Lui, President of Courage Is a Habit (https://courageisahabit.org), who unpacks a deeply troubling report that exposes how activist ideology is being embedded in schools through “mental health” programs. How are school counselors being transformed from academic guides into ideological enforcers—and why do most parents never see it happening? The hour then opens to passionate listener calls as John confronts antisemitism, moral consistency, and the line between faith and hatred. What separates principled belief from dangerous ideology? And why does celebrating violence—even against political enemies—cross a line that should never be crossed? John also connects the dots between policy decisions and real-world consequences, spotlighting how hostile business climates drive major employers away, costing cities jobs and investment. The discussion widens to global economic warning signs, including cracks in China's luxury market, before closing with a sobering look at infrastructure vulnerability and potential power shutoffs along Colorado's Front Range. Fast-moving, intense, and unfiltered, Hour 3 challenges listeners to question narratives, examine consequences, and think beyond the headlines.

Looking for honest reviews without Hollywood spin? This hour delivers tension, controversy, and Andy Peth's unfiltered opinion as he takes the mic for a Friday edition of https://RushToReason.com, delivering two sharply contrasting movie reviews that pull no punches. First up is Not Without Hope, a true survival story set in the unforgiving Gulf of Mexico. Starring Zachary Levi, the film asks a haunting question: what happens when elite athletes face an enemy they can't overpower—the ocean itself? Andy praises the acting, realism, and immersive camerawork, but questions the pacing. 11:10 – Not Without Hope movie review • Andy's ratings: Quality ★★½ | Political ★★ | Moral/Religious ★½ Then Andy turns his attention to the holiday slasher Silent Night, Deadly Night, a Christmas horror film with a killer Santa and a disturbing moral twist. Does brutality equal horror? Andy doesn't think so. Despite a few solid performances and inventive moments, he finds the story implausible, boring, and wildly overrated. His verdict is brutal. 22:58 – Silent Night, Deadly Night movie review • Andy's ratings: Quality ★½ | Political ★★★ | Moral/Religious ★ HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason turns cinematic as Andy Peth, joined by Luke Chasman and Tanner Coleman, dives headfirst into “Movies of the Sea”—from swashbuckling adventures to submarine warfare and shark-infested nightmares. What makes a great ocean movie: spectacle, tension, or pure fear? The crew debates classics like Pirates of the Caribbean and Jaws, praises modern standouts such as Aquaman (the first one), and contrasts them with notorious misfires like Pearl Harbor and Aquaman 2. The conversation plunges deeper with gripping submarine films, including Das Boot, U-571, The Hunt for Red October, and The Abyss, highlighting claustrophobia, sound design, and the terror of depth charges in total darkness. Sharks circle the discussion with Deep Blue Sea, The Meg, and even Sharknado, blending genuine tension with campy fun. Animated favorites like Finding Nemo spark nostalgia—and a sharp critique of how Pixar's magic has faded. Is fear more effective when it's realistic, or when it's ridiculous? Packed with rapid-fire opinions, humor, and movie-love energy, this hour asks one irresistible question: which sea movie still holds up when the water gets rough?

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com focuses on medical freedom and political obstacles, with John Rush joined by Dr. Kelly Victory and Steve House. The hour examines why prominent medical and policy voices are suppressed and why reforms face strong resistance. Dr. Victory breaks down the ongoing fight over vaccine policy and medical censorship. She explains why treatments like ivermectin were aggressively dismissed despite real-world results. Steve House pulls back the curtain on the political and financial machinery behind health care. He exposes why hospital billing feels intentionally incomprehensible—and who profits from that confusion. The conversation then shifts to the 2026 midterms, with clear warnings about internal party struggles, selecting candidates, and the risks of prioritizing ideals over practical strategy. Can Republicans win without unity and a realistic approach? What if broken systems—medical, political, and media—are never examined openly? HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason spotlights immigration enforcement, featuring Ammon Blair of the https://TexasPublicPolicyFoundation.com. The discussion centers on state and local cooperation with ICE, how education and incentives can improve enforcement, and the debate over humane immigration policy. The hour then pivots to Colorado politics as John examines new state laws taking effect in 2026, questioning whether they protect citizens or quietly undermine property rights and personal responsibility. From tenant-landlord rules to gun show regulations, the discussion warns of unintended consequences that could worsen housing shortages and fuel government expansion. Listener calls push the conversation deeper, asking a sobering question: are these policies about compassion—or control? HOUR 3 Hour 3 delivers a wide-ranging, hard-hitting conversation that challenges prevailing narratives on government power, economics, and cultural change. John Rush is joined by Jerzee Joe (https://www.youtube.com/@jerzeejoe3145), who draws stark parallels between U.S. policy debates and the real-world consequences seen in Europe—from failed government housing projects to crime statistics tied to mass immigration. Are America's leaders ignoring lessons already written in history? The hour then shifts to a deep economic breakdown with Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capital (https://www.bentpinecapital.com/), who dissects the Federal Reserve's latest rate cut. Did the Fed stay too tight for too long—and are they now quietly reversing course to avoid a liquidity crisis? John and Scott explore inflation, growth forecasts, quantitative tightening, and the high-stakes question of who Donald Trump may select as the next Fed Chair. Finally, the hour closes with concerns over government accountability, as callers question whether federal programs meant to help small businesses are instead enriching powerful corporations. Is the system course-correcting—or simply reacting too late? Hour 3 pulls no punches and leaves listeners with critical questions about who's really steering the economy and the country's future.

Hour 1 of Rush To Reason opens with estate-planning attorney Michael Bailey (https://michaelbaileylawllc.com), who reminds listeners that the end of the year is the perfect time to protect what matters most. What really happens if you leave your estate to Colorado's default rules? And how simple is it to update an old will—especially when life, kids, and families change? Michael breaks down the misconceptions and reveals why planning spares your loved ones from confusion and conflict. Next, lifestyle and food creator Shanisty Ireland (https://shesbecomingdomestic.com)brings much-needed calm to the chaos of the holiday season. Can one signature dish, a five-minute “fake clean,” and lowering the lights truly transform a stressful gathering into a cozy, joy-filled moment? And what happens when you finally stop apologizing for imperfections no one else even notices? Finally, health educator Troy Duell of https://centurion.health exposes the hidden health traps of the season—sugar overload, poor sleep, party fatigue, and holiday stress. Which simple supplements can strengthen your immunity? And why is prevention far more powerful than any “miracle” cure once illness hits? Hour 1 delivers practical wisdom, emotional relief, and real-world tools—perfect for anyone wanting a healthier, happier holiday. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason opens with author Richard Battle (https://RichardBattle.com), who dives into the extraordinary “American-do spirit” that sparked the Boston Tea Party and built a nation unlike any other. But do Americans still have that fire today—or are we quietly surrendering our freedoms to a globalist mindset that rejects individual liberty? The hour then shifts to political analyst Sunny Kutcher of Young Americans Against Socialism ( https://yass.org), who confronts one of the most explosive issues of 2025: mass migration and its cultural, economic, and security fallout. Why are taxpayer dollars flowing out of the country in suitcases of cash? Are failing assimilation, cultural clashes, and entitlement politics accelerating America's unraveling? And what happens when a rising political figure like Rep. Jasmine Crockett challenges critics—only to have a flood of violent Democrat soundbites resurface? Sunny exposes the strategy behind it all: chaos, disruption, and media manipulation designed to shape elections far beyond one candidate. Her message is clear—if Americans want their country back, they must understand what they're up against. HOUR 3 Hour 3 launches with a high-stakes conversation as Brendan Steinhauser, CEO of the Alliance for Secure AI (https://secureainow.org), joins John to tackle one of the most urgent questions of our time: Who should control the future of artificial intelligence—states or the federal government? With China racing ahead and U.S. politicians struggling to understand even basic tech, is America prepared for the new AI frontier? And what happens if the people writing policy can't even reset their phones? The hour then pivots to a viral economic warning as John exposes the brutal reality behind America's skilled-labor crisis. Why are $120,000-a-year technician jobs unfilled while millions of college graduates stack debt, not skills? Is the decades-long “everyone must go to college” mindset fueling inflation, worker shortages, and a collapsing middle class? In the final segment, John widens the lens: What happens when one in three young adults can't afford to live on their own? Are high prices really to blame—or a culture that never taught resilience, marketable skills, or the value of hard work? Hour 3 is a wake-up call for anyone who wants America to thrive in the age of AI, economics, and personal responsibility.

And what happens if the people writing policy can't even reset their phones? The hour then pivots to a viral economic warning as John exposes the brutal reality behind America's skilled-labor crisis. Why are $120,000-a-year technician jobs unfilled while millions of college graduates stack debt, not skills? Is the decades-long “everyone must go to college” mindset fueling inflation, worker shortages, and a collapsing middle class? In the final segment, John widens the lens: What happens when one in three young adults can't afford to live on their own? Are high prices really to blame—or a culture that never taught resilience, marketable skills, or the value of hard work? Hour 3 is a wake-up call for anyone who wants America to thrive in the age of AI, economics, and personal responsibility.

Hour 1 of Rush To Reason opens with estate-planning attorney Michael Bailey (https://michaelbaileylawllc.com), who reminds listeners that the end of the year is the perfect time to protect what matters most. What really happens if you leave your estate to Colorado's default rules? And how simple is it to update an old will—especially when life, kids, and families change? Michael breaks down the misconceptions and reveals why planning spares your loved ones from confusion and conflict. Next, lifestyle and food creator Shanisty Ireland (https://shesbecomingdomestic.com)brings much-needed calm to the chaos of the holiday season. Can one signature dish, a five-minute “fake clean,” and lowering the lights truly transform a stressful gathering into a cozy, joy-filled moment? And what happens when you finally stop apologizing for imperfections no one else even notices? Finally, health educator Troy Duell of https://centurion.health exposes the hidden health traps of the season—sugar overload, poor sleep, party fatigue, and holiday stress. Which simple supplements can strengthen your immunity? And why is prevention far more powerful than any “miracle” cure once illness hits? Hour 1 delivers practical wisdom, emotional relief, and real-world tools—perfect for anyone wanting a healthier, happier holiday. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason opens with author Richard Battle (https://RichardBattle.com), who dives into the extraordinary “American-do spirit” that sparked the Boston Tea Party and built a nation unlike any other. But do Americans still have that fire today—or are we quietly surrendering our freedoms to a globalist mindset that rejects individual liberty? The hour then shifts to political analyst Sunny Kutcher of Young Americans Against Socialism ( https://yass.org), who confronts one of the most explosive issues of 2025: mass migration and its cultural, economic, and security fallout. Why are taxpayer dollars flowing out of the country in suitcases of cash? Are failing assimilation, cultural clashes, and entitlement politics accelerating America's unraveling? And what happens when a rising political figure like Rep. Jasmine Crockett challenges critics—only to have a flood of violent Democrat soundbites resurface? Sunny exposes the strategy behind it all: chaos, disruption, and media manipulation designed to shape elections far beyond one candidate. Her message is clear—if Americans want their country back, they must understand what they're up against.

Hour 1 of https://rushtoreason.com launches with high-stakes energy as John Rush and Andy Peth dive straight into one of the biggest media battles in years: Netflix vs. Paramount in a multi-billion-dollar fight for Warner Bros. Discovery. Their guest, Jordan Goodman—America's Money Answer Man —breaks down the bidding war that could reshape Hollywood. Will this merger reduce creative freedom? Will HBO and Netflix under one roof change everything you watch? But the hour doesn't stop there. The conversation shifts to global tension as Trump positions massive U.S. military power near Venezuela. Is this the beginning of a regime collapse—or a strategic bluff meant to force Maduro out without firing a shot? And how will oil markets respond? Finally, Jordan unpacks new economic shocks: unexpected job losses, a deeply divided Federal Reserve, and a looming Supreme Court decision on Trump's tariffs that could upend the entire U.S. economic strategy. What happens if the Fed cuts too slowly? What if tariffs vanish overnight? And how will all of this hit your wallet? This hour asks the questions everyone else is afraid to raise. HOUR 2 Hour 2 opens with a deep dive into America's energy future as John Rush and Andy Peth welcome Larry Behrens of https://powerthefuture.com. Larry explains why the price of Thanksgiving dinner—and nearly everything you buy—traces back to one force: energy. But if oil prices are dropping, why aren't grocery bills falling just as fast? And how much do mysterious fuel blends, seasonal changes, and decisions made by blue states really cost you? The hour then pivots from energy to politics, exploding into a no-holds-barred critique of Colorado's fractured GOP. Can Republicans win anything—from Congress to the governor's race—when rogue factions sabotage electable candidates? Why are spoiler candidates being propped up in must-win districts? Finally, the conversation intensifies as callers challenge Trump's strategy in Venezuela. Is this saber-rattling, or a long-term geopolitical play designed to weaken OPEC, stabilize oil markets, and strengthen the American economy? And how does Venezuela's sour crude connect to U.S. inflation, housing affordability, and long-term prosperity? This hour pushes listeners to rethink energy, politics, and foreign strategy in ways few shows dare to explore.

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with John Rush challenging listeners to rethink what truly matters as Christmas approaches: Are we clinging to gifts no one remembers, or to experiences no one forgets? But the hour quickly shifts from holiday wisdom to political reality as John delivers a bold, unfiltered prediction about Colorado's GOP governor's race. With more than 20 Republican candidates scrambling for attention, he asks the unavoidable question: Is the party sabotaging itself before the race even begins? John warns that infighting, ego-driven campaigns, and even suspected political “plants” could doom conservatives in 2026 unless unity happens early—something he doubts will occur. He then dives into Colorado's cooling economy, exposing the impact of skyrocketing regulations, natural-gas restrictions, and costly mandates that he says the media refuses to acknowledge. Why does Governor Polis blame tariffs and interest rates instead of his own policies? And what hidden change nearly eliminated Denver's famous brown cloud? Hour 1 is part political thriller, part economic wake-up call—packed with provocative insights you won't hear anywhere else. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason revs up with special guest Ray Shefska, CEO of CarEdge (https://caredge.com), for a sharp, insider breakdown of one of the most significant shifts in the auto industry: the administration's newly relaxed CAFE standards. What will the loser fuel-efficiency rules mean for consumers, dealers, and the future of affordable cars? Ray reveals why the market has fewer budget-friendly vehicles than ever—and why envy, not necessity, is driving Americans into $55,000 cars with $750 monthly payments. John and Ray then expose how automakers fumbled the rollout of EVs, relying on government incentives instead of actually selling the features and benefits. Are manufacturers now scrambling to salvage billions in electric-vehicle investment? And will Toyota's hybrid-first strategy turn out to be the stroke of genius everyone else missed? The second half of the hour turns electric in a different way, as John battles misconceptions about EV road taxes and digs into a high-profile Highlands Ranch garage fire. Was it the EV, the charger, or something entirely unrelated? Listeners are left questioning how quickly we jump to conclusions—and how often we get the facts wrong. HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason takes a surprising and thoughtful turn as Patrick Payton—former mayor of Midland, Texas, longtime pastor, leadership consultant, and presidential leadership scholar—joins John for a powerful conversation about division, persuasion, and the lost art of human respect. Why can rival football fans shake hands after a brutal game, yet families can't make it through Christmas dinner without political warfare? Patrick shares insights from his new book, The Middle: How the Quiet Majority Can Mend a Divided Nation, explaining how both extremes—left and right—use fear, manipulation, and “otherizing” to control people. He offers practical strategies for navigating tense family gatherings, redirecting conflict, and approaching political disagreements with humility, patience, and genuine curiosity. After Patrick signs off, John turns to a viral claim that Trump voters should be legally forced to wear MAGA hats—raising an uncomfortable question: Are modern activists resurrecting tactics that eerily echo history's darkest movements? The conversation closes with John exposing how Agenda 21–style policies and rising Marxist rhetoric are creeping into Colorado politics, leaving listeners to ask: Are we still protecting freedom, or silently giving it away?

Andy Peth's 5-Star Movie Review returns in Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com, and this week's lineup is sharply divided. Did Five Nights at Freddy's 2 really earn a jaw-dropping 0.5 star for Quality, while landing at 3.0 for Political and 3.0 for Moral? What went so wrong… and what does Andy say still “works” (if anything)? Then the tone shifts with Fackham Hall, pulling a much stronger 3.0 for Quality and 3.0 for Political—but only 1.0 for Moral. Is it clever satire, a guilty laugh, or a hard pass, depending on what you're okay with? Don't miss Andy's brutally honest breakdowns—tune in to get clarity on what's worth your time and what to skip. Listen now for the clear answers you want. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason shifts gears with a double feature you won't want to miss. First up, Andy and Richard break down this weekend's NFL matchups, making their picks and explaining which teams have the edge—and which favorites might be walking into a trap. Are there any upsets brewing? And which games are must-watch if you care about momentum heading deeper into the season? Then the conversation takes a sharp turn across the Atlantic with a movie-review theme centered on films featuring British characters. From high-octane spy thrillers like Kingsman: The Secret Service and The Gentlemen, to prestige dramas such as The King's Speech and The Imitation Game, the discussion spans action, history, wit, and classic British charm. They even touch on beloved favorites like Harry Potter, Notting Hill, and Bridget Jones's Diary—but with the kind of commentary only John, Andy, and Richard can deliver. If you enjoy smart sports takes, lively debate, and movie conversations that go beyond surface-level reviews, this hour blends all of it into one fast-moving, entertaining listen.

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com plunges listeners into a fast-moving, razor-sharp conversation about the future of AI, healthcare, education, and mental health. John Rush and guest Steve House unravel the myths and realities of artificial intelligence—asking whether we're facing a technological revolution or sleepwalking into unforeseen danger. Will AI become the greatest diagnostic tool in medical history, spotting disease earlier and cheaper than ever? Or will Big Pharma fight to keep control of the system AI threatens to expose? The hour also challenges America's failing education model. If AI can tailor learning to every student, why are we still trapped in a one-size-fits-all system designed for averages, not excellence? And what happens when deepfakes become indistinguishable from reality, or when AI avatars blur emotional and spiritual boundaries? John and Steve then tackle the more profound cultural questions: Why is European bread easier on the body than ours? Are we unintentionally creating a nation dependent on chronic disease? Has our mental health crisis worsened by constantly digging up the past instead of building a stronger future? Hour 1 mixes innovation, caution, and big-picture thinking—inviting listeners to ask: Are we ready for the world AI is about to create? HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason dives into one of the most misrepresented narratives in America: Are young people truly priced out of the housing market, or have expectations changed more than reality? With no guests this hour, John Rush takes calls, challenges the headlines, and breaks down why so many millennials believe homeownership is impossible—while others their age are quietly making it happen. Should a first-time buyer expect 2,400 square feet, designer finishes, and two new cars in the driveway? Or is the real path to wealth still found in sacrifice, fixer-uppers, and sweat equity? John dismantles the "can't afford a home" storyline by exposing the role of lifestyle inflation, comparison culture, and social media. He also reveals how Trump's newly lowered CAFE standards could immediately reduce the cost of new vehicles—something critics refuse to acknowledge. The hour ends with a look at Colorado's construction-defect law and its unintended consequence: wiping out starter condos that once made owning a home far more attainable. Hour 2 challenges everything you think you know about affordability, expectations, and building a life you can actually afford. HOUR 3 Hour 3 explodes with energy as John Rush and Jerzee Joe (https://www.youtube.com/@jerzeejoe3145) open with sharp cultural commentary, outrageous news stories, and a hard look at how the erosion of family structure is impacting crime, discipline, and society. Why are celebrities saying bizarre things? Why are harmless gun-range photos turning into arrests overseas? And what happens when statistics on fatherlessness collide with uncomfortable political truths? Then the hour pivots into a powerful economic deep dive with Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capitol (https://x.com/CScottGarliss), who reveals what the Federal Reserve may do next—and how a single decision could ignite or stall the entire U.S. economy. Will the Fed begin cutting rates? Could mortgage portability reshape home ownership? And is the housing market one bold policy away from roaring back to life? From government overreach to Fed strategy, from climate hysteria to bank stability, Hour 3 is packed with provocative questions, sharp analysis, and insights you won't hear anywhere else.

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with intensity and purpose as Dr. Scott Faulkner (https://castlerockregenerativehealth.com), filling in for John Rush, teams up with expert biohacker Jeremy Sova to deliver a powerful Health and Wellness Wednesday. Together, they challenge listeners to rethink everything they believe about aging, medicine, and longevity. Why is traditional healthcare failing millions—and what happens when you step outside the system to measure, optimize, and actually reverse the damage inside your body? From cutting-edge biomarkers and rapamycin protocols to hyperbaric oxygen, VO₂ max testing, and personalized data tools like the Oura Ring, Dr. Scott and Jeremy reveal a roadmap to becoming biologically younger—no matter your age or past habits. Can a former smoker achieve elite VO₂ max numbers? Could early detection tools catch cancer before symptoms appear? And what if the secret to living longer isn't more medication, but more information? Websites mentioned: https://castlerockregenerativehealth.com/ https://ouraring.com/ https://www.questdiagnostics.com/ https://www.cancerchecklabs.com/ HOUR 2 Hour 2 explodes with cutting-edge health insight as biohacker Jeremy Sova and Dr. Scott plunge into the hidden world of mitochondria, omega-3 optimization, stem cells, and advanced cardiac imaging. Why are so many people walking around with perfect calcium scores while soft plaque silently builds toward disaster? And could AI-powered CT angiograms—with Clearly technology—be the tool that uncovers the truth before it's too late? A heart-stopping live call from Rick, whose scan revealed a 98% blockage despite minimal symptoms, becomes a turning point showcasing just how radically this new technology can save lives. From personalized biomarkers to the failures of traditional medicine, the hour exposes the cracks in America's healthcare system and reveals why functional and regenerative medicine are rising fast. Dr. Scott's raw backstory—his battle against bureaucracy, burnout, and a system that rewards silence over truth—adds emotional depth and a powerful challenge: what happens when a doctor refuses to be a coward? HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush to Reason ignites with Dr. Scott and expert biohacker Jeremy Sova diving into some of the most groundbreaking advances in modern regenerative medicine. What if stem cells could help a paralyzed man walk again… or reverse early Alzheimer's? What if your body could regrow neural networks once believed to be permanently damaged? And what if aging itself—telomere shortening, senescent “zombie cells,” mitochondrial decline—could be slowed, halted, or even reversed? Dr. Scott takes listeners behind the scenes of A4M, the world's largest anti-aging medical summit, where he is a featured stem-cell speaker teaching thousands of physicians global best practices. Together, he and Jeremy unpack cutting-edge research from Japan, Germany, and Israel on stem cells, plasmapheresis, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy—modalities that may radically expand healthspan and quality of life. Along the way, Dr. Scott exposes why so much breakthrough science happens outside the United States and challenges listeners to rethink a medical system built on disease management rather than healing. This is a riveting episode of Rush To Reason for anyone curious about longevity, brain restoration, or the future of medicine—and it just might change the way you think about aging forever.

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with intensity and purpose as Dr. Scott Faulkner (https://castlerockregenerativehealth.com), filling in for John Rush, teams up with expert biohacker Jeremy Sova to deliver a powerful Health and Wellness Wednesday. Together, they challenge listeners to rethink everything they believe about aging, medicine, and longevity. Why is traditional healthcare failing millions—and what happens when you step outside the system to measure, optimize, and actually reverse the damage inside your body? From cutting-edge biomarkers and rapamycin protocols to hyperbaric oxygen, VO₂ max testing, and personalized data tools like the Oura Ring, Dr. Scott and Jeremy reveal a roadmap to becoming biologically younger—no matter your age or past habits. Can a former smoker achieve elite VO₂ max numbers? Could early detection tools catch cancer before symptoms appear? And what if the secret to living longer isn't more medication, but more information?

Why are so many people walking around with perfect calcium scores while soft plaque silently builds toward disaster? And could AI-powered CT angiograms—with Clearly technology—be the tool that uncovers the truth before it's too late? A heart-stopping live call from Rick, whose scan revealed a 98% blockage despite minimal symptoms, becomes a turning point showcasing just how radically this new technology can save lives. From personalized biomarkers to the failures of traditional medicine, the hour exposes the cracks in America's healthcare system and reveals why functional and regenerative medicine are rising fast. Dr. Scott's raw backstory—his battle against bureaucracy, burnout, and a system that rewards silence over truth—adds emotional depth and a powerful challenge: what happens when a doctor refuses to be a coward? HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush to Reason ignites with Dr. Scott and expert biohacker Jeremy Sova diving into some of the most groundbreaking advances in modern regenerative medicine. What if stem cells could help a paralyzed man walk again… or reverse early Alzheimer's? What if your body could regrow neural networks once believed to be permanently damaged?
