What happens when a midsize SUV quietly blurs the line between mainstream and luxury? Is the 2026 Mazda CX-70 Turbo S Premium Plus the sleeper SUV more drivers should be paying attention to? In this review, Richard Rush breaks down Mazda's newest two-row SUV with 340 horsepower, M-Hybrid Boost, and a driving feel that surprises right from the first on-ramp. Does the mild electric assist change how it accelerates? How does it compare to the CX-90—and is losing the third row actually a win for cargo space and families? With upscale materials, heated and ventilated seats, strong fuel economy, and a price point that undercuts many luxury rivals, this CX-70 is one to check out. Is this the SUV people keep asking, “What is that?”—and why are long-time Mazda owners racking up over a half a million miles? Listen in and decide whether the CX-70 belongs on your short list.

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.

What happens when Lexus turns its legendary off-road heritage into a luxury hybrid powerhouse? Is the 2025 Lexus LX700h Overtrail the ultimate blend of capability, refinement, and high-altitude performance? And why is the hybrid system changing the game for Colorado drivers? Richard Rush takes the wheel and puts Lexus's flagship SUV to the test—33-inch all-terrain tires, locking differentials, dual touchscreens, massaging seats, and a quiet cabin built for both mountain trails and mile-high commutes. But is this luxury off-roader really worth its six-figure price tag? And does its “nanny” driver-assist system help… or drive you crazy? From real-world fuel economy to everyday drivability at altitude, this review asks the questions serious buyers want answered—without giving away the verdict. Is the LX700h the most capable luxury SUV on the market? Does the hybrid torque transform the old-school powertrain? And is the second row roomy enough for modern families? Find out in this week's new-car review. Have a question about a car review or a general automotive question?

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com launches with John Rush and Dave from Veteran Windows and Doors (https://www.veteranwindowsdoors.com), revealing a surprising winter shake-up in the home-upgrade world: discontinued product lines, looming January price hikes, and why cold snaps suddenly make homeowners notice every draft. Should you upgrade now before the window—literally—closes? From there, John pivots into a fiery cultural critique. Why are manners vanishing? When did America become a place where pajamas pass for travel wear and courtesy is optional? John from Cheyenne jumps in, sharing stories of airline standards and the lost art of dressing with respect. Then the hour turns sharply toward national intrigue as Leslie Corbly (https://lesliecorbly.com/), attorney and author of Progressive Prejudice: Exposing the Devouring Mother, joins the show. John and Leslie delve into the Epstein files, James Comer's investigations, and the Clinton machine—asking the real question: is justice even possible when power runs this deep? Leslie breaks down political immunity, entrenched influence, and why the truth about Epstein may not surface for decades. Hour 1 blends home insights, cultural reality checks, and high-stakes political analysis. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason opens with John Rush tackling one of the biggest political landmines of 2025: why is inflation worse in blue states—and is the solution as simple as leaving them? John challenges long-held assumptions about Colorado politics, the MAGA label, and the growing clash between affordability and ideology. Why are so many voters misreading the state's political climate? And is the exodus to red states a temporary trend or a permanent warning sign? In the second segment, John and Jerzee Joe break down the real numbers behind inflation. What happens when energy prices triple from one state to another? Why are Americans slipping into cultural sloppiness—from fashion to personal standards—and is it tied to a deeper Marxist drift? Their conversation asks the bold question: Have we become a nation that expects equal treatment no matter the effort? Richard Rush jumps in with a high-energy breakdown of the Broncos' season. Are Denver fans underestimating how hard it is to win in the NFL, especially when you're living in “Stage 3” of franchise building—winning all the close games while your heart rate spikes every Sunday? Hour 2 closes on a high-octane note as Richard Rush delivers a first-look review of the 2025 Lexus LX 700h Overtrail. Is this hybrid luxury off-roader the new benchmark for capability and refinement? Or does its six-figure price tag raise more questions than answers? HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush to Reason hits hard from the opening minute as John Rush welcomes Professor Marc Defant (https://www.marcdefant.com), University of South Florida, whose explosive peer-reviewed paper challenges the foundations of modern feminist studies. Why are entire academic departments ignoring evolutionary biology, known health science, and decades of empirical research? And what happens when “body positivity,” gender ideology, and attacks on masculinity collide with actual data? Defant pulls back the curtain on Marxist influence in universities, the disappearance of alpha males, and how students are being shaped by ideology rather than truth. After the interview, John shifts into real-world examples—from airline travel to cultural expectations—to show how entitlement, victimhood, and the loss of traditional masculinity play out in everyday life. Finally, caller Brad joins the conversation for a rapid-fire political rundown: Tennessee's special election, GOP infighting, MAGA identity, Jerome Powell, Senate math, and whether conservatives can learn how to win again. If you've ever wondered who controls the narrative, what happened to common sense, and whether America can course-correct, Hour 3 is a conversation you can't afford to miss.

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com kicks off with Andy Peth—joined by Luke Cashman and Tanner Coleman—for a fast, funny, and fiery hour that swings from Thanksgiving chaos to political shockwaves. Amid jokes about Vietnamese feasts, airport gravy smuggling, and hunting Thanksgiving dinner “bare-handed,” the trio dives headfirst into the escalating crisis in Chicago. What happens when a mayor calls law enforcement a “sickness” even after a woman is brutally attacked on a train? And what does it mean when a leader claims he's committed first to people who “look like” him? The hour then pivots to Marjorie Taylor Greene's sudden decision to leave Congress early. Is her claim about the “Epstein files” the truth—or a convenient cover? Andy breaks down the real timeline, the political rift with Donald Trump, and the surprising financial incentives baked into congressional retirement. A caller, Jim from Wellington, joins in to expose how congressional benefits work—raising deeper questions about insider trading, wealth-building, and who really profits in Washington. Packed with humor, sharp analysis, and provocative questions, Hour 1 sets the tone: nothing is off-limits, and everything is on the table. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason kicks off at full speed as Andy Pate teams up with Tanner Cole and NFL analyst Richard Rush for a rapid-fire Thanksgiving football extravaganza. Which teams will rise, and which will collapse under the weight of their own chaos? Will the Lions finally own Thanksgiving? Are the Chiefs unstoppable—or is Dallas ready to shock them? Can Joe Burrow ignite the Bengals, and are the Eagles crumbling from the inside out? Every matchup becomes a debate, every prediction swings with humor, and every punchline lands harder than a blindside blitz. But the hour isn't done. After the final pick is made, Jerzee Joe jumps in with sharp political commentary, exposing New York's fantasy-world promises of “free buses,” rent freezes, and wealth redistribution. What happens when leaders promise equality of outcomes instead of opportunity? And why does reality only show up after the election? Packed with jokes, bold takes, and thought-provoking questions, Hour 2 delivers nonstop energy—from the gridiron to government truths you won't hear anywhere else. HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason erupts with political fire as Andy Peth welcomes guest Eli Bremer—a former Olympian, Air Force veteran, and one of Colorado's most controversial conservative voices. What begins as a critique of forced “unity” inside the Colorado GOP quickly transforms into a blistering exposé of power plays, purity tests, and the factions tearing the party apart. Why are certain insiders demanding unity only when they're the ones in charge? Who benefits when criticism is labeled “disunity,” and who gets silenced in the process? Andy and Eli dismantle the myth of “unity for unity's sake,” arguing that genuine teamwork requires shared purpose—not blind obedience. From fake Liberty Scorecards to performative purity, from sabotaged legislation to the Freedom Caucus blocking the repeal of Obamacare, Hour 3 pulls no punches. Is “voting your principles” noble—or is it a mathematical dead end that hands victory to the Left? And how many elections have been lost because conservatives chose symbolic purity over practical wins? Hour 3 is a fast-moving, high-stakes discussion about strategy, loyalty, results—and what the conservative movement must confront if it wants to win again.

What begins as a critique of forced “unity” inside the Colorado GOP quickly transforms into a blistering exposé of power plays, purity tests, and the factions tearing the party apart. Why are certain insiders demanding unity only when they're the ones in charge? Who benefits when criticism is labeled “disunity,” and who gets silenced in the process? Andy and Eli dismantle the myth of “unity for unity's sake,” arguing that genuine teamwork requires shared purpose—not blind obedience. From fake Liberty Scorecards to performative purity, from sabotaged legislation to the Freedom Caucus blocking the repeal of Obamacare, Hour 3 pulls no punches. Is “voting your principles” noble—or is it a mathematical dead end that hands victory to the Left? And how many elections have been lost because conservatives chose symbolic purity over practical wins? Hour 3 is a fast-moving, high-stakes discussion about strategy, loyalty, results—and what the conservative movement must confront if it wants to win again.

What happens when Toyota resurrects an icon—but strips away the old luxury, amps up the rugged capability, and drops in a turbo-hybrid powertrain built for altitude? Is the new 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser still worthy of its legendary badge… or is it an entirely new beast? John Rush and Richard Rush take you inside the wheel of Toyota's redesigned off-roader: a 5-passenger, i-Force Max hybrid SUV built for adventure but tuned for everyday comfort. But here's the question—can it compete with Broncos, Wranglers, and even the Land Rover Defender… while still keeping that unmistakable Toyota reliability? How does it really drive at Colorado altitude? Does the hybrid deliver more power and better fuel economy? Is the new design closer to the GX… or the beloved FJ? And at a price in the low-to-mid $60s, is this Toyota the smartest buy in the adventure SUV world? If you're shopping off-roaders, comparing hybrids, or wondering whether Toyota reinvented a legend—or replaced it—you won't want to miss this review.

What happens when Toyota takes the humble Corolla name and turns it into a fire-breathing hot hatch?

Hour 1 of Rush to Reason packs a punch from start to finish. John Rush kicks things off with Dave from Veteran Windows and Doors (https://www.veteranwindowsdoors.com), pulling back the curtain on the truth about home efficiency. Are your “new” windows really saving you money, or are they quietly draining your wallet? Dave exposes what builders and sales reps don't tell you — from energy codes to hidden heat loss — and how to truly get the quality you pay for. Then, John pivots from home upgrades to political reality. What really caused Colorado's GOP setbacks, and who's to blame? With his trademark boldness, he calls out hypocrisy, “RINO Watch” drama, and warns that real change demands strategy, not outrage. Finally, Patrick Mueller from Bella Advisors (https://bellaadvisors.com) joins to dissect government spending, economic turbulence, and the explosive rise of AI. Could automation reshape entire industries — or even wipe out white-collar jobs? From Washington's gridlock to America's changing workforce, John and Patrick lay it all out. It's one hour of sharp insight, political truth, and real-world solutions. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason opens with two powerful callers — Wayne from Castle Rock, a veteran real estate broker, and Marty, whose earlier comments sparked debate about wealth, sacrifice, and homeownership. John Rush takes their insights head-on: are Americans struggling to buy homes, or just refusing to start small and build their way up? Together, John and Wayne unpack why expectations — not economics — are often the real obstacle to financial freedom. From there, John dismantles the fear of an impending housing crash, pointing to $122 trillion in generational wealth and America's still-strong 65% homeownership rate. The conversation shifts with Richard Rush to Colorado sports, where the Broncos, Nuggets, and Avalanche all make headlines. The hour finishes at full throttle with a car review of the 2025 Toyota GR Corolla — a turbocharged hatchback that proves small can be mighty. It's one hour of grit, growth, and gasoline-fueled insight you won't want to miss. HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush to Reason is a rollercoaster of politics, economics, and controversy. John Rush kicks things off with Jim Pfaff from the Conservative Caucus (https://theconservativecaucus.com), breaking down the latest government shutdown deal — and for once, Republicans didn't back down. Is this the start of real conservative momentum, or just a brief victory before the next battle? From Donald Trump's influence to Jerome Powell's upcoming exit at the Fed, Jim and John explore how leadership and timing could make or break the economy — and the 2026 election. Then, John shifts gears from Capitol Hill to the shop floor with a story making national headlines: the pardon of diesel mechanic Troy Lake. Sent to prison for removing emissions devices from trucks, Lake's case sparks a fiery debate. Has the government gone too far in punishing blue-collar Americans? Or was justice finally served? With John's trademark mix of insight and outrage, this hour dives deep into freedom, overreach, and the fight for common sense — from D.C. power struggles to the diesel garage. Don't miss the episode that proves why https://RushToReason.com is where truth meets traction.

John Rush kicks off Rush to Reason with a fiery take on faith and outrage, questioning why so many Christians overreacted to a simple, compassionate moment between Vice President JD Vance and Erica Kirk. Is this a sign of moral decay—or just misplaced judgment? Then, financial expert David Stryzewski of Sound Planning Group (https://myspg.com/) joins the show to unpack the realities behind America's economy, from the government shutdown to inflation and jobs. Are we really in crisis—or is the media fueling fear for political gain? Together, they challenge listeners to think critically about faith, finance, and common sense in today's culture. HOUR 2 In this gripping hour of Rush to Reason, John Rush takes listeners from the rise of government control to the drama of the playing field. With guest Ammon Blair of the Texas Public Policy Foundation (https://www.texaspolicy.com), he exposes how programs like SNAP and EBT have transformed from safety nets into tools of dependency and control. Have Americans traded self-reliance for comfort—and freedom for convenience? As callers weigh in, the conversation widens to New York's Marxist politics, before pivoting to sports, where John and Richard Rush tackle the future of Major League Baseball, Broncos football, and Deion Sanders' Colorado Buffaloes. Will baseball face reform? Can Denver turn narrow wins into a comeback season? And is Coach Prime's bold vision already on the line? This hour delivers high-stakes questions, cultural insight, and the kind of truth-telling that keeps listeners thinking long after the mic goes silent. HOUR 3 In this powerful hour of Rush to Reason, John Rush dives into the crossroads of AI, politics, and personal responsibility. What happens when technology becomes too powerful—and too political?

Then, Mark Mix of the National Right to Work Committee exposes how unions and politics intertwine to manipulate workers and elections.

Are we trading freedom for comfort? From global tech threats to national work ethic, this episode confronts the biggest question of all—can America stay free in a world that rewards dependence?

HR2 Sex Trafficking, Richard Rush: EV's, Volvo XC90 Review 7-14-25 by John Rush

This week on The Video Store Podcast, I'm recommending four films that are all about films and filmmaking in one way or another. Some are about the industry. Some about obsession with its product. All are worth watching.The Stunt Man (1980) – Directed by Richard Rush. This film took nearly a decade to get made. It's about a fugitive who ends up working as a stuntman on a chaotic film set. Peter O'Toole plays the eccentric director. The film is known for how it blurs the line between what's real and what's staged, both for the characters and the viewer. Rush was nominated for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. Steve Railsback, who plays the lead, had previously portrayed Charles Manson in Helter Skelter, and that performance had followed him around.Fade to Black (1980) – A psychological thriller directed by Vernon Zimmerman. Not so much about the industry behind-the scenes, but instead about its effect on the other side of the camera. Dennis Christopher plays a movie-obsessed loner who starts acting out scenes from classic films in real life. A lot of people missed this when it came out, but it has a cult following now. It's set in Los Angeles and uses that setting in a way that feels grimy and off. Mickey Rourke appears in a small early role. Quentin Tarantino has mentioned this film as an influence.The Big Picture (1989) – A comedy directed by Christopher Guest. Kevin Bacon plays a young filmmaker who finds early success, then quickly loses control of his career. Martin Short plays his agent in a way that's deliberately over-the-top. The script was co-written by Michael McKean and also includes appearances by John Cleese and Teri Hatcher. It's one of those movies that shows how studio notes and industry pressure can take a decent idea and ruin it.Living in Oblivion (1995) – Directed by Tom DiCillo whose name I butcher, my apologies. This one's about a small indie film production falling apart. Steve Buscemi plays the director. It's shot in black and white and color, dividing dream sequences from the rest. Catherine Keener and Dermot Mulroney are also in it. DiCillo based a lot of the script on his own frustrations making his first feature. James Le Gros plays a difficult actor who many assumed was based on Brad Pitt, who had worked with DiCillo before. DiCillo has denied it, but the rumor stuck. Also a great role from a future Game of Thrones star.Each of these films looks at films and filmmaking from a different angle. They're also all lesser-known films, some not widely seen, but worth your time.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

HR2 Supreme Court and Firearms, Richard Rush: Colo Politics, Car Reviews 6-2-25 by John Rush

Ricky, Ricky, Ricky! We're back with our first episode stalwart, Richard Rush!We always knew we were going to return to the world of Rush, this time in his most notable film, THE STUNT MAN. Starring Peter O'Toole, Barbara Hershey, and Steve Railsback, this film tells a tale about a wanted felon who stumbles onto a film set and 'just begins working' as a stuntman, and everyone loves him.As you might expect, there is a lot of 'Rush-isms' in this, for better or worse. But honestly, we wouldn't have it any other way! Remember, King Kong was only 3'6". It was the 'movie magic' that made him tall.

This week on The Video Store Podcast, I'm recommending four offbeat cop films that have stuck with me over the years. These films can be funny, gritty, offbeat, and sometimes kind of chaotic in the best way possible. So what movies am I recommending?Running Scared (1986) – Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines as two wisecracking Chicago detectives. This one's got a great mix of comedy and action, and it leans into that mid-80s buddy cop energy without taking itself too seriously. Michael McDonald's “Sweet Freedom” is on the soundtrack, which feels like a time capsule in itself.Miami Blues (1990) – Alec Baldwin in a role that's kind of hard to pin down. He plays a violent conman who ends up impersonating a cop. It's based on a Charles Willeford novel and keeps that oddball tone where you're not always sure if you're supposed to laugh or be disturbed. Fred Ward is great in it too, playing the worn-out detective trying to catch him.Freebie and the Bean (1974) – This one's messier than most cop movies, but it's intentional. Directed by Richard Rush, who also did The Stunt Man, it's full of reckless driving, dark humor, and strange tonal shifts. Alan Arkin and James Caan play the leads, and they're either chasing criminals or arguing with each other. It kind of laid the groundwork for a lot of buddy cop films that came later.Stakeout (1987) – Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez as partners on a surveillance detail that doesn't stay professional for very long. There's a good balance of suspense and comedy, and Madeleine Stowe holds her own in her first major role. It was directed by John Badham, who also did WarGames and Short Circuit, so the pacing is solid.If you're in the mood for movies where different type of cops break rules, hunt odd suspects or drive their car on the track of an elevated train, I think you will find something here you will like.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!
