Remodeling Mistakes & Home Upgrades That Make (or Break) Resale. https://Fix-ItRadio.com with John Rush delivers a practical, experience-driven hour focused on smart remodeling decisions, flooring projects, and the details that quietly protect your home's value. From first-time DIY flooring to knowing when not to do it yourself, this episode digs into what really matters before you pick up a tool. How do small choices—like fixture quality, layout planning, or flooring transitions—affect resale value? And why do buyers notice the one thing you hoped they wouldn't? The show also tackles broader homeowner philosophy: DIY vs. hiring it out, consistency throughout the house, and why rushing a project almost always costs more in the long run. Even shop and barn upgrades get attention, with candid talk about what's worth adding—and what's a waste of money. If you're planning a remodel, finishing a basement, or debating whether to cut corners or do it right, this episode raises the exact questions you should be asking before the work begins.

Classic Cars, Value, and the Reality Check What really makes a car a classic—and is it an investment or just nostalgia with a price tag? In this episode of https://Drive-Radio.com: The Extra Mile, John Rush pulls listeners inside the real world of classic, muscle, vintage, and limited-production cars, cutting through auction hype and emotional buying. Why do some cars skyrocket in value while others quietly fade? And why do beautifully restored vehicles sometimes sell for less than worn-in originals? Using real examples from high-profile auctions to everyday barn finds, John explains how supply and demand, buyer demographics, documentation, and originality drive prices. He breaks down “numbers-matching” cars, clone builds, and why repainting or over-restoring a vehicle can actually hurt its value. Are auctions designed to help you buy smart—or push you to overpay? And how do you avoid getting upside down on a dream car? The episode also tackles inheritance scenarios, financing classic cars, and why banks often view classics as lower-risk than daily drivers. John shares practical advice on spotting problem cars fast, knowing when to walk away, and when emotion is okay—and when it absolutely isn't. Whether you're chasing a dream car, sitting on a family heirloom, or just fascinated by the collector market, this hour delivers a candid, insider look at how classic cars really work.

Is leasing really the shortcut to driving a new car every few years—or a financial trap hiding in plain sight? In this episode of https://Drive-Radio.com, The Extra Mile, host John Rush goes deep on the real-world costs of leasing versus buying, breaking down the fine print most drivers never think about until it's too late. From mileage limits and wear-and-tear charges to residual values, early termination fees, and surprise end-of-lease bills, John explains why that low monthly payment can be misleading. What happens if you drive more miles than your lease allows? Why do some drivers end up forced to finance the same car for 7 years instead of walking away? And when—if ever—does leasing actually make sense for individuals versus business owners? The conversation also explores what really happens to off-lease vehicles, why some make it back onto dealer lots while others head straight to auction, and how market swings can dramatically change the math. This episode is a must-listen for anyone shopping for a new or used vehicle, considering a lease, or trying to avoid costly mistakes on the back end of a deal. Are you paying attention to the full cost—or just the monthly payment?

HR 3 DRIVE RADIO (1-17-26) by John Rush

On this episode of HTTPS://Ready-Radio.com, host John Rush is joined by co-host Bill Anderson https://www.prep2protectco.com/) for a sobering, thought-provoking conversation about modern preparedness—and the risks of standing out when things go wrong. What happens if the power goes out everywhere… except your house? Is being prepared actually dangerous if you're the only one with lights, heat, food, or water? From planned power shutoffs and fragile infrastructure to human behavior under stress, this episode moves beyond gadgets and generators and into the human factor most people avoid thinking about. John and Bill explore why desperation changes people, why secrecy rarely lasts, and how quickly order can unravel into “king of the hill” dynamics. They challenge listeners to rethink preparedness not as maintaining comfort, but as sustaining life—asking hard questions about community, health, skills, and when staying put may no longer be safe. Is isolation protection—or a liability? How visible are your resources, even if you try to hide them? And if systems fail, do you have the physical ability, medical readiness, and practical knowledge to adapt? This episode strips preparedness down to first principles and leaves listeners with one unavoidable question: are you preparing for systems… or for people?

Why does fixing your car seem so expensive, and is repair truly a better value than buying new? In this episode, John Rush pulls back the curtain on the true cost of auto repair, drawing on decades of industry experience. Listeners will discover how understanding what's behind each repair bill can help them make smarter choices about maintaining or replacing their vehicle. From oil changes that aren't “cheap” anymore to labor rates that include more than just wrench time, John explains what actually goes into every repair bill. What are non-billable hours, and why do they matter? Why can't a reputable shop quote you a price over the phone? And how do insurance requirements, training, certifications, and a growing technician shortage drive prices higher—often out of customers' sight? John also tackles parts quality, warranties, and why OEMs are really assemblers relying on vast supply chains. With new cars averaging around $55,000, John walks through the math of cost per mile and explains why many drivers are choosing to invest in the vehicles they already own. Is chasing the cheapest repair really a deal—or a risk? This episode challenges assumptions, explains the economics behind the shop door, and helps drivers make smarter, more confident decisions about repairs versus replacement.

https://FixItRadio.com kicks off 2026 with John Rush and engineer Larry Unger tackling a question many homeowners are now asking: What happens when the power goes out again—and it will? After recent widespread outages across Colorado, the conversation quickly turns to backup power, preparedness, and real-world lessons learned the hard way. Is a portable generator enough, or do you need whole-home backup power? What can actually run your furnace, refrigerator, or well pump—and what can't? Listener calls from Joe, Jeff, Mark, and Robert bring firsthand experience to the discussion, covering topics such as frozen pipes, unattended homes during winter travel, generator sizing, startup loads, gas meter upgrades, and battery failures. Jeff's story of living with rationed electricity and water overseas puts modern conveniences into perspective, while Joe breaks down how modern generators self-test weekly, send failure alerts to your phone, and why the battery—not the engine—is often the weakest link. Mark raises a critical concern many overlook: Will your generator actually start when it's bitterly cold? And Robert asks a common homeowner question—are white marks on a foundation a structural issue or just harmless mineral leaching? The episode also dives into battery wall systems, Powerwalls, UPS backups, and why even a one-second power interruption can reset computers, routers, and electronics. Is there a way to make the transition seamless? What equipment truly protects critical systems? This hour doesn't sell fear—it delivers experience, perspective, and practical guidance. With outages no longer a “maybe,” but a “when,” the real question is simple: Is your home actually ready for the next one?

HR3 DRIVE RADIO. 01-10-26 by John Rush

This episode of https://Ready-Radio.com tackles one of the hardest preparedness questions of our time: how do you stay safe—and wise—when emotions, protests, and authority collide? Using a widely discussed incident in Minnesota as a real-world case study, John Rush and Pastor Bill Anderson ( https://www.prep2protectco.com) strip away headlines and politics to focus on decision-making under pressure. What happens when lawful orders meet resistance? Where is the line between standing on principle and escalating a situation beyond repair? They explore situational awareness, bystander risk, and why avoidance is often the most powerful self-defense tool. From vehicles as weapons to the dangers of crossfire and ricochets, listeners are challenged to think through “mental reps” before chaos erupts. How do pride, conditioning, and snap judgments change outcomes in seconds—and for a lifetime? The conversation widens to moral clarity and wisdom, drawing from Proverbs to emphasize that preparedness isn't restrictive—it's protective. When is it worth standing your ground, and when is walking away the smartest move you'll ever make? This episode asks the question few stop to consider: If you could rewind the clock, would the cause still be worth the cost to your family, your future, and your life?

What would happen if your power went out for days… or longer? In this episode of Fix It Radio, host John Rush, joined by Larry Younger, dives into the reality of winter outages and what homeowners can do right now to be prepared. Are rolling blackouts the new normal? Do you really need a whole-home generator—or is there a smarter, more affordable way to keep the lights on? Listeners from across the country called in with real-world experiences. What happens when high winds knock out both power and water? Would a propane generator keep your home running? And if the grid goes down, will natural gas still flow when you need it most? Then, Jerzee Joe shares practical tips from years of generator ownership—annual maintenance, load management, and even why a simple UPS battery backup could save your computer (and your work) in a split second. John also breaks down options like portable generators, battery power stations such as Jackery, EV backup potential, and whole-home systems from brands like Generac—plus why maintenance and fresh fuel matter more than most people realize. What do you really need to run in an outage? Heat? Water? Refrigeration? Medical equipment? And how much power is enough? This fast-paced, real-life discussion challenges you to rethink preparedness, protect your home's value, and take control before the next storm hits. Are you ready when the grid goes down?

What really works when it comes to aftermarket performance parts — and what's just noise, shine, and marketing hype? In this episode of Drive Radio: The Extra Mile, host John Rush pulls back the curtain on the good, the bad, and the ugly of performance upgrades, joined by engineer and producer Luke Cashman. From cold air intakes to exhaust systems, programmers, gears, and suspension, John draws on three decades of hands-on experience in off-road shops and racing to ask the questions every enthusiast should: Are your mods actually adding horsepower… or quietly making your vehicle worse? Are you gaining performance — or just sound and looks? At a mile-high elevation, do the same rules even apply? John explains why altitude changes everything, how misleading dyno tests can fool buyers, and why some “cold air” intakes actually rob power rather than make it. He challenges the myth that louder means faster and explains why a well-designed single exhaust can outperform a dual setup. Thinking about a tuner? Bigger tires? A lift kit? John warns that without a clear blueprint and the right gear ratios, you may be throwing money away — and losing the power you already have. He shows how smart planning, quality parts, and drivetrain efficiency often beat flashy bolt-ons every time. And when it comes to suspension, are you buying real performance… or junk with a glossy brochure? If you've ever wondered what upgrades are truly worth it — and which ones could cost you performance, safety, and reliability — this episode is your roadmap. Are you ready to stop guessing and start building smarter?

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?

Winter isn't downtime—it's the season that exposes what's missing. Filling in for John Rush on https://Ready-Radio.com, Bill Anderson (https://www.prep2protectco.com) challenges listeners to rethink the quiet months and see winter as the ideal time to prepare before emergencies force the issue. Are shorter days and more time indoors working against you—or giving you the advantage? This episode walks through real-world preparedness using practical, relatable scenarios. What happens when the power goes out at night and temperatures drop fast? Will your flashlight work? Are your batteries fresh? Will your generator start—or is your confidence built on assumptions? Bill stresses the importance of testing systems now, not during a crisis. Listeners are urged to rotate food stores, clean out freezers, test long-term supplies, and use winter to sharpen skills like first aid, navigation, and emergency planning. Common cold-weather failures—from furnace breakdowns and frozen pipes to carbon monoxide risks—highlight how everyday habits can quietly become dangerous. More than gear, this episode focuses on mindset. Preparedness isn't about fear or spending money—it's about discipline, repetition, and lifestyle design. Bill explains why boredom often equals safety and why complacency creates failure in homes, health, and readiness. Community learning, humility, and ongoing education are emphasized as powerful, low-cost tools. Above all, one truth stands out: health is your most important asset. If you're weak, injured, or unwell, every plan falls apart. Winter is your chance to fix the gaps—before a real emergency finds them first.

Major changes are coming to home heating in Colorado—and most homeowners don't know it. On this episode of https://FixIt-Radio.com, host John Rush, with Larry Unger and Charlie Grimes, welcomes Hunter of Cub Creek Heating & Air Conditioning (https://www.cubcreekhvac.com) to explain what Colorado's new ultra-low NOx regulations mean when they take effect January 1, 2026. Are your furnace and water heater now costlier to replace? Will maintaining high-altitude and propane systems become harder? Why are some homeowners advised to “wait it out,” while others are told to act now? Hunter explains how new systems rely on tighter combustion controls, why maintenance and installation matter more than ever, and which homes—especially older or mountain properties—may be most affected. The discussion also clarifies confusion about boilers, Energy Star exemptions, electricity usage, and whether appliances like gas ranges, dryers, and wood-burning stoves could be next. Is Colorado moving quietly toward full electrification, and is the electric grid ready? This episode reveals how policy changes and real-world costs will affect homeowners—before a furnace fails on the coldest night of the year. If you own a home, plan to remodel, or simply want to know what's coming, don't miss this Fix It Radio episode.

HR3 Encore Presentation of December 13, 2025 (12-27-25) by John Rush

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.

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.

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?

Ready Radio, hosted by John Rush and co-hosted by Bill Anderson, delivers a fast-moving hour that blends financial preparedness with real-world survival skills. First, John welcomes first-time guests Freddy Freeman and Mike Morris from Colorado TexitCoin (https://coloradotxc.org/), who break down crypto in plain language. What exactly is a geo-locked, U.S.-based digital currency? Could owning a share of a massive Texas crypto mine create long-term, generational opportunity? And how do everyday people even begin to understand wallets, security, and volatility in a world full of new coins? But Ready Radio doesn't stop at money — it pivots straight into what happens when the grid goes dark. With recent power outages fresh on everyone's mind, John and Bill dig into backup power, generators, and battery “power walls.” How much power do you really need? What are your critical loads when the furnace, fridge, and well pump must stay alive? Is a whole-house generator worth it, or can layered solutions get you through? They explore real costs, shared circuits, fuel choices, and how battery systems can work hand in hand with generators and even solar. The conversation goes deeper with listener calls and practical advice: learning from multi-day outages, prioritizing survival over convenience, and even using EVs as a potential backup power source. From crypto security fears to staying warm when the lights go out, this episode asks the questions every family should be thinking about. Are you prepared for financial shifts and grid failure? Could smarter planning today make all the difference tomorrow? This is Ready Radio — preparing you to be ready for anything.

What would happen if your power went out for days… or longer? In this episode of https://FixItRadio.com, host John Rush, joined by Larry Younger, dives into the reality of winter outages and what homeowners can do right now to be prepared. Are rolling blackouts the new normal? Do you really need a whole-home generator—or is there a smarter, more affordable way to keep the lights on? Listeners from across the country called in with real-world experiences. What happens when high winds knock out both power and water? Would a propane generator keep your home running? And if the grid goes down, will natural gas still flow when you need it most? Then, Jerzee Joe shares practical tips from years of generator ownership—annual maintenance, load management, and even why a simple UPS battery backup could save your computer (and your work) in a split second. John also breaks down options like portable generators, battery power stations such as Jackery, EV backup potential, and whole-home systems from brands like Generac—plus why maintenance and fresh fuel matter more than most people realize. What do you really need to run in an outage? Heat? Water? Refrigeration? Medical equipment? And how much power is enough? This fast-paced, real-life discussion challenges you to rethink preparedness, protect your home's value, and take control before the next storm hits. Are you ready when the grid goes down?

What really works when it comes to aftermarket performance parts — and what's just noise, shine, and marketing hype? In this episode of https://Drive-Radio.com: The Extra Mile, host John Rush pulls back the curtain on the good, the bad, and the ugly of performance upgrades, joined by engineer and producer Luke Cashman. From cold air intakes to exhaust systems, programmers, gears, and suspension, John draws on three decades of hands-on experience in off-road shops and racing to ask the questions every enthusiast should: Are your mods actually adding horsepower… or quietly making your vehicle worse? Are you gaining performance — or just sound and looks? At a mile-high elevation, do the same rules even apply? John explains why altitude changes everything, how misleading dyno tests can fool buyers, and why some “cold air” intakes actually rob power instead of making it. He challenges the myth that louder means faster and reveals why a well-designed single exhaust can outperform dual setups. Thinking about a tuner? Bigger tires? A lift kit? John warns that without a clear blueprint and the right gear ratios, you may be throwing money away — and losing the power you already had. He shows how smart planning, quality parts, and drivetrain efficiency often beat flashy bolt-ons every time. And when it comes to suspension, are you buying real performance… or junk with a glossy brochure? If you've ever wondered what upgrades are truly worth it — and which ones could cost you performance, safety, and reliability — this episode is your roadmap. Are you ready to stop guessing and start building smarter?

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.
