Rush To Reason

Don’t just listen, call in with your perspective at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. Hour 1 of Rush To Reason opens with intensity and quickly moves into uncomfortable but urgent territory. John Rush questions judgment, accountability, and the real-world consequences of words—especially when those words come from people in positions of authority. A shocking social media controversy involving an Erie police officer sparks a deeper conversation: where does free speech end, and responsibility begin? Why do some stories explode online but never reach mainstream headlines? Media bias and narrative framing take center stage as Christine Czernejewski, founder of Mediapedia (https://mediapedia.org/), joins the show to explain how journalism is shaped—not just by what’s reported, but by what’s left out. How are protests, ICE enforcement, and high-profile legal cases being portrayed? And are younger generations being informed… or steered? The hour closes by connecting media silence to broader political moves in Colorado, teasing upcoming debates over immigration enforcement, federal authority, and states’ rights. If you care about truth, transparency, and who controls the narrative, this hour sets the stage—and leaves you asking what you’re not being told. Guest Timestamps * Christine Czernejewski - 29:35 HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason moves fast from breaking headlines to deeper cultural fault lines. John opens with a troubling missing-person case involving an elderly woman in Arizona, raising hard questions about motive, media focus, and why some stories dominate while others quietly fade. Attention then turns back to Colorado, where a massive power outage left nearly 200,000 customers in the dark—yet barely registered compared to high-profile protests. Why do priorities seem so skewed? John challenges listeners on immigration and ICE enforcement, offering calm, everyday analogies to help parents and grandparents talk through these issues with younger generations. How do you explain borders, responsibility, and security without shouting—just asking the right questions? The hour then shifts gears as Richard joins John to break down the business psychology behind Super Bowl advertising. Why would companies spend millions for 30 seconds—and why do viewers actually watch the ads? The conversation blends media strategy, economics, and culture before closing with a review of the 2026 Toyota Prius Nightshade Edition—raising the question: Is it just cosmetic flair, or does it actually stand out on the road? Guest Timestamps * Richard Rush on Super Bowl Ads - 28:26 * Richard Rush 2026 Toyota Prius Review- 43:21 HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason dives deep into taxes, culture, and common sense, starting with a wide-ranging conversation between John and Grover Norquist (https://x.com/GroverNorquist). They break down why permanent tax cuts matter, who really pays corporate taxes, and how economic policy shapes wages, jobs, and investment. But the discussion doesn’t stop there. A bold new idea takes center stage: investment accounts for children designed to teach savings, ownership, and long-term thinking. Could getting kids invested early change how an entire generation understands the economy—and even how they vote? After Grover exits, John pivots to current events and cultural flashpoints. Why is ICE suddenly deploying body cameras now, and what role do protests and political pressure play in that decision? From there, John takes on lawsuit culture, reacting to a legal challenge over Costco’s iconic $4.99 rotisserie chicken and asking when personal responsibility disappeared. The hour wraps with a sharp critique of credential obsession and social-media censorship, questioning whether platforms like LinkedIn still offer real value—or just ideological gatekeeping. It’s an hour that connects money, mindset, and modern absurdity. Guest Timestamps * Grover Norquist 0:23

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

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

Don’t just listen, call in with your perspective at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. Health & Wellness Wednesday delivers powerful, real-life insight as John Rush dives into two critical health conversations that hit close to home for many listeners. Burn survivor Gail Petrillo (https://www.firstimpressions1.com/), Board Chair of the American Red Cross of Southern Arizona, shares her deeply personal story while spotlighting National Burn Awareness Week. How fast can everyday routines turn dangerous, and do you really know the right way to treat a burn before it becomes life-altering? The conversation then shifts as Thomas Greither, CEO of Flora Health (https://www.florahealth.com/), uncovers how iron deficiency may quietly rob millions of energy and vitality. Could fatigue, hair loss, or constant exhaustion be something more than just aging? Is a new approach to iron absorption changing how people reclaim their energy? Two guests, two life-impacting topics—one hour packed with insights that could change how you protect your family and care for your own health. What warning signs might you be missing right now? Guest Timestamps * Gail Petrillo — 10:01 * Thomas Greither — 29:18 HOUR 2 Hour 2 blends history, politics, and today’s cultural flashpoints as John Rush explores leadership lessons from America’s founding and how they apply to modern controversies. Author Richard Battle (https://richardbattle.com/) highlights the courage and sacrifice of John Hancock and asks what true civic leadership looks like in times of division. Later, Sunny Kutcher, Executive Director of Young Americans Against Socialism (https://yaas.org), joins the show to unpack recent court decisions allowing ICE enforcement actions to continue in Minnesota. Are protests protecting freedom—or obstructing efforts to combat crime and human trafficking? And are young Americans being equipped with facts or swept up in emotional narratives? From the founding era to today’s immigration battles, the hour challenges listeners to examine responsibility, law enforcement realities, and the role of activism in shaping America’s future. Are we honoring the principles that built the nation—or drifting away from them? Guest Timestamps * Richard Battle — 1:10 * Sunny Kutcher — 27:52 HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason shifts from global geopolitics to everyday economic concerns, delivering a fast-paced mix of foreign policy insight and financial clarity. Former U.S. Ambassador to Denmark Alan Leventhal explains why Greenland and the Arctic are suddenly center stage in global security. As Arctic routes open and tensions rise, could cooperation with NATO allies prove more powerful than confrontation? Later, financial advisor Scott Garliss, Founder of Bent Pine Capital (https://cscottgarliss.substack.com/), tackles fears of economic collapse and currency decline. Is a market crash really looming—or are long-term investors positioned to benefit as inflation eases and interest rate policy shifts? With discussion ranging from Federal Reserve decisions to global trade and AI-driven productivity gains, the hour asks: are headlines fueling fear while fundamentals quietly improve? From Arctic strategy to Wall Street reality, this hour challenges listeners to separate political noise from economic and geopolitical truth. Alan Leventhal — 1:09 Scott Garliss — 28:01

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

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with John Rush setting a blunt, no-nonsense tone about reality, responsibility, and hard truths—then quickly moves into logic, politics, and power. An “impossible question” sparks a broader discussion about the danger of confusing correlation with causation, especially in political narratives. The hour intensifies with a deep dive into U.S. global leadership and NATO, arguing that America’s strength—and restraint—has made it the least imperialistic superpower in history. Can Europe truly defend itself without the U.S., and why do critics at home benefit from the power they condemn? From there, John and Andy confront internal Republican fractures, dissecting claims from Marjorie Taylor Greene on immigration, ICE, and “uniparty” politics. Are purity tests and viral outrage helping conservatives—or undermining their own leverage? A heated discussion follows on protests, firearms, and law enforcement, drawing sharp lines between principle and dangerous real-world consequences. The hour closes with an economic warning shot at Canada’s leadership, trade threats, and reliance on money printing. Is Canada facing a temporary bump—or a delayed collapse? With global economics, party infighting, and uncomfortable questions about power and accountability, Hour 1 pulls no punches. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason features a deep-dive conversation with Jim D’Arezzo , president of Aquaterex (https://aquaterrex.com/), unpacking one of the most overlooked issues behind AI expansion: water.

Hour 1 opens with John Rush setting a hard-truth tone before diving into what he says is one of the clearest economic signals he’s seen heading into 2026. Drawing from firsthand experience at the Barrett-Jackson auto auction in Scottsdale, John asks a provocative question: What does massive spending on non-essential luxury items say about the real state of the economy? With record crowds, high-dollar purchases, and disposable income flowing freely, he challenges the constant crash narratives and warns listeners not to confuse debt concerns with an imminent collapse. The hour then pivots sharply to the controversial Minnesota ICE shooting. John questions media certainty built on shaky, incomplete video, and pushes back against narratives portraying the armed protester as an innocent bystander. While emphasizing that any loss of life is tragic, he scrutinizes intent, personal responsibility, protest culture, and the decision to attend volatile demonstrations while armed. What did authorities know beforehand? What details are being ignored—and why? John makes it clear this story is far more complex than headlines suggest, setting the stage for deeper analysis in the following hour. HOUR 2 Hour 2 opens with John tackling a winter question everyone asks but few answer honestly: how long should you really warm up your car? Pushing back on one-size-fits-all advice, John explains why temperature, engine type, vehicle age, and parking conditions all matter—and why “just start it and go” isn’t always smart. He also warns about the risks of remote starts, idling, and cold-weather car theft, offering practical, real-world guidance drivers can actually use. The hour then pivots to Minnesota politics, where John questions explosive wealth increases tied to Rep. Ilhan Omar’s household and asks whether rapid business valuation jumps raise red flags amid ongoing fraud investigations in the state. Is it a coincidence—or something that deserves deeper scrutiny? Sports round out the hour as Richard Rush joins the show to break down the Broncos’ narrow playoff loss. Was it injuries, weather, coaching decisions, or bad luck—and what does it mean for next season? The hour closes with a car review of the 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz XRT, asking whether this car-truck hybrid is the perfect urban utility vehicle or just misunderstood. Richard Rush * Broncos playoff discussion - 29:16 * 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz XRT review - 41:32 HOUR 3 Hour 3 delivers one of the most intense conversations of the day as John Rush is joined by Alvin Louie of Courage Is a Habit. Together, they unpack the growing unrest in Minnesota—asking whether recent church disruptions, ICE confrontations, and street protests are organic or strategically orchestrated. Louie outlines how activist networks, NGOs, and education pipelines may be shaping agitation long before it hits the streets. Are these flashpoints spontaneous—or the final act of a much larger play? The discussion turns sobering as John and callers analyze armed protests, viral video narratives, and the dangerous gap between legal rights and personal responsibility. How quickly does misinformation fuel outrage? And why do facts often lag behind emotion in national headlines? The hour widens further, tackling Republican infighting, controversial endorsements, government overreach, and the culture shift toward mandated “safety” at the expense of freedom. From ICE body cams to vehicle kill-switch technology, John challenges listeners to ask harder questions: Where does protection end and control begin? And can the economy—not personalities—still decide the next election? Guest Timestamps * Alvin Louie – 1:08

🎬 Rush To Reason – Movie Reviews with Andy Peth What happens when technology decides guilt… and time is running out? And how do you revive a horror franchise without losing what made it terrifying in the first place? This week on Rush To Reason, Andy Peth takes on two very different films — and the results couldn’t be more opposite. One movie asks chilling questions about justice, surveillance, and whether innocence still matters in a world run by algorithms. Can you prove the truth before the clock hits zero? And who do you trust when the system itself is the judge? The second film returns to a legendary horror universe — but does nostalgia alone keep fear alive? When atmosphere replaces story and shock replaces purpose, is it still horror… or just noise? Andy doesn’t hold back as he delivers one of his toughest verdicts yet. Which movie surprised him? Which one left him frustrated? And which should you absolutely avoid? Andy breaks it all down with his 5-Star Review system, rating each film for quality, politics, and moral or religious themes — without spoilers, but with strong opinions. 🎧 Listen before you pick your next movie night. ⏱️ Movie Review Start Times * Mercy – 22:53 * Return to Silent Hill – 37:13 HOUR 2 Pressure is rising—and Nothing is Settled. Hour 2 of Rush To Reason opens with Andy Peth and Richard Rush breaking down the biggest NFL questions heading into the weekend. Does quarterback depth really matter in the playoffs? Can a disciplined team win without flash? And which matchup quietly decides who reaches the Super Bowl? The picks aren’t unanimous—and the reasoning may surprise you. Then the hour takes a sharp turn from the gridiron to the future. What do our favorite sci-fi and futuristic films say about where we’re headed—and what we’re afraid of becoming? From artificial intelligence and dystopian worlds to post-apocalyptic survival and cyberpunk cities, Andy, Richard, Luke, Tanner, and callers debate which movies got it right… and which ones missed the mark entirely. Is technology our savior—or the villain? Why do some “future” movies age perfectly while others collapse under their own ideas? And which classics still feel uncomfortably relevant today? Sports. Culture. The future—through football strategy and film lenses you won’t hear anywhere else.

Hour 1 Encore presentation of January 8, 2026. Hour 1 of Rush To Reason starts 2026 by addressing health, medical freedom, and trust as Dr. Kelly Victory and Steve House discuss new federal changes to childhood vaccines. Dr. Victory clarifies these changes, why they matter, and the critical questions they raise about our healthcare system. The conversation reviews COVID-era decisions, accountability, and consequences for doctors who challenged official narratives. Why were dissenting medical voices silenced, and what does that mean for the next public health crisis? The panel also explores preparedness—physical, mental, and intellectual—emphasizing immune health, personal responsibility, and learning from those who “got it right” the first time. The discussion moves from individual health to the broader system, examining healthcare systems, insurance complexity, and why Americans often feel trapped in a model that discourages prevention and rewards confusion. The conversation then links health policy to politics and global power, asking: Are people being protected or managed? As 2026 begins, this hour challenges us to rethink medicine, authority, and who deserves our trust when it matters most. HOUR 2 Encore Presentation of January 15, 2026 Hour 1 of Rush to Reason opens with John Rush in a wide-ranging, no-nonsense conversation with Dr. Kelly Victory, challenging decades of conventional wisdom about health, nutrition, and lifestyle. Is the modern food pyramid backwards—and has it helped fuel obesity, chronic disease, and metabolic dysfunction? Dr. Victory explains why processed foods, refined carbohydrates, seed oils, and constant snacking may be at the root of America’s health decline, while earlier generations thrived on real food, daily movement, and better sleep habits. The discussion dives into intermittent fasting, OMAD, portion control, and why hunger—not willpower—is often the biggest obstacle to weight loss. Could the low-fat craze and fear of cholesterol have unintended consequences for brain health, including dementia and Alzheimer’s? Listeners are also urged to stop chasing fad diets and instead track how their own bodies respond to specific foods. From glyphosates in grains to the importance of protein, fiber, movement, and consistent sleep, this hour asks a powerful question: what if better health isn’t complicated—but simply buried under years of bad advice?
