Rush To Reason

Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. https://RushToReason.com HOUR 1 What happens when political reality collides with deeply held beliefs? In this compelling hour of Rush to Reason, John Rush, alongside Andy Peth, takes listeners on a thought-provoking journey through Colorado politics, candidate electability, and the deeper role of faith in decision-making. The hour begins with a sharp look at the Colorado GOP—are candidates being chosen based on principle… or the ability to actually win in a blue state? As the conversation unfolds, a powerful theme emerges: hope is not a strategy. Can a campaign succeed without aligning with the political “market”? Then the focus shifts to real-world consequences, as Mark Mix from the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation exposes troubling stories of workers being fined thousands of dollars just for going to work. Is this worker protection—or coercion? Later in the hour, politics meets theology. John and Andy challenge listeners to rethink how faith, free will, and responsibility intersect in a modern republic. Are voters using the tools they’ve been given—or ignoring them? This hour doesn’t just inform—it challenges. Are we thinking strategically… or simply hoping for the best? Guest Timestamps 30:35 — Mark Mix — https://www.nrtw.org/ HOUR 2 Global tension, local politics, and internal party battles. Hour 2 pulls listeners into a fast-moving, high-stakes conversation. The hour opens with a critical update on Iran, as President Trump’s ceasefire strategy raises an important question: Is restraint the smartest move in a fractured and unpredictable region? With divided leadership inside Iran, John and Andy explore whether patience could prevent a wider conflict—or if one wrong move could change everything. But the focus quickly shifts closer to home. A heated breakdown of Colorado GOP strategy reveals a party at a crossroads. What happens if primaries disappear? Would a small group of insiders choose candidates for everyone? And what message does that send to half the state’s voters? As the discussion intensifies, deeper concerns emerge, internal lawsuits, power struggles, and a system that may be working against itself. Is this about winning… or control? HOUR 3 What really broke the Colorado GOP—and can it be rebuilt? In Hour 3 of Rush to Reason, John Rush and Andy Peth take listeners behind the curtain, connecting past leadership decisions to today’s political reality. The hour opens with a rapid-fire breakdown of controversial actions under former leadership, raising questions about neutrality, power, and trust. But this isn’t just about the past… It’s about what comes next. As the conversation shifts, John and Andy lay out a bold roadmap: reconnect voters, eliminate barriers like caucus, and completely rebrand the party around personal liberty. Could something as simple as community connection and better messaging change the trajectory? Then comes the biggest insight of the hour: elections aren’t won in the final stretch; they’re shaped long before. If the “market” isn’t moved, no candidate can win. So why does the party keep focusing on the last four months instead of the full cycle? By the end, one question stands above the rest: is the party ready to think strategically… or repeat the same losing pattern?

John and Mike Jansen from Plumberooz explore how smart technology like the PHYN leak detection system is quietly changing homeownership. But the conversation doesn’t stay at home for long. John shifts to rising tensions with Iran, unpacking high-stakes decisions involving energy markets, military strategy, and global consequences. As oil routes shift and pressure builds, one question looms—how far will things go before a resolution is forced? The hour then pivots into a provocative discussion with Robert Bortins, examining the roots of America’s education system. Is it broken… or working exactly as designed? Finally, John closes with a passionate defense of truth and accountability in media, challenging misinformation and calling out divisive narratives. This hour doesn’t just inform—it pushes listeners to think deeper about home, country, and culture. 👤 Timestamps 1:14 — Mike Jansen https://plumberoos.com/ 27:56 — Robert Bortins https://robertbortins.com/woke-and-weaponized/ HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason with John Rush dives headfirst into a rapidly changing world—starting with a question every business owner should be asking: Are websites becoming irrelevant? As John sits down with Thomas Harpointner, the conversation reveals how AI is reshaping search, customer behavior, and visibility. If Google no longer sends traffic your way, how do you stay relevant? The tone then shifts as John addresses listener reactions, confronting deeper cultural issues around hate, responsibility, and personal accountability. It’s raw, direct, and thought-provoking - challenging listeners to examine not just others, but themselves. From there, the pace picks up with Richard Rush joining in for a high-energy sports breakdown. With playoff momentum building and global stars like Lionel Messi making appearances, is Denver becoming a true sports hub? Finally, the hour wraps with two standout vehicle reviews.

Can conservatives actually win… or are they ignoring the data right in front of them? The conversation challenges listeners to separate hope from strategy, and asks a tough question: are repeated losses self-inflicted? From there, the show opens up to callers, and the discussion broadens fast. Topics range from election systems and the controversial National Popular Vote Compact to energy policy, local refineries, and the real-world consequences of shutting down domestic production. What happens when policy decisions collide with everyday costs? The hour also dives into emerging vehicle technology. Could your car soon detect impairment before you even start it? And in a lighter but practical turn, listeners share simple ways to prevent costly home damage. From politics to technology to everyday life, this hour keeps listeners thinking long after it ends.

And a growing sense that something deeper is broken. In this hour of Rush To Reason, John Rush and Steve House tackle the question many Americans are quietly asking—how did we get here, and can we get back? From COVID vaccine data and global tensions to Marxism, taxation, and government overreach, the conversation pulls no punches. But the deeper dive comes in healthcare, where skyrocketing costs, pharmaceutical influence, and overlooked solutions raise unsettling questions: is the system built to heal—or to sustain itself? Then comes the future—artificial intelligence. Will it revolutionize productivity and quality of life, or expose the widening gap between those who adapt and those left behind? As private industry accelerates, government appears stuck, raising concerns about inefficiency, vulnerability, and leadership disconnected from reality. And in the end, one sobering realization emerges—real power may not lie with elected officials at all, but with the systems and staffers that remain long after elections end. So what does real reform look like? And who’s actually in control? Guest List Steve House — Business & Healthcare Executive HOUR 2 What happens when the people in power are more afraid of losing their jobs than fixing the country? In Hour 2 of Rush To Reason, John Rush pulls back the curtain with guests Jim Pfaff and John Deaton to expose the deeper forces shaping politics today. From Washington, D.C. dysfunction to Colorado’s uphill political battle, the conversation reveals a system driven by incentives, fear, and a lack of real-world experience. Why do so many politicians cling to power—and what happens when they lose it? The answers may explain more than voters realize. Then comes a powerful shift—can the American Dream still be achieved? Deaton’s personal story says yes, but rising debt, career politicians, and shifting economic realities raise a bigger question: is that path getting harder for the next generation? And finally, a hard truth: elections aren’t lost the way many think. It’s not just systems or strategies—it’s candidates, messaging, and the ability to connect with voters who actually decide outcomes. So what really needs to change—and who’s willing to say it out loud? Guest Timestamps 1:09 — Jim Pfaff — https://theconservativecaucus.com/ 30:06 — John Deaton — https://www.johndeatonforsenate.com/(Massachusetts) HOUR 3 What happens when common sense collides with politics, economics, and everyday life? In Hour 3 of Rush To Reason, John Rush and Jerzee Joe deliver a fast-moving, eye-opening conversation that stretches from local radio to global realities. It starts with a simple question—why does local, listener-driven radio still matter? The answer reveals something bigger: real conversations uncover truths that headlines often miss. From there, the discussion dives into contradictions in policy, from voter ID debates to government spending, and even the economic collapse unfolding in places like California. When population stagnates, but spending explodes, what’s the endgame? The hour takes a hard turn into fraud, oversight failures, and pension risks—raising a critical question: who ultimately pays when systems break down? Then, in a more personal shift, John opens up about how his show operates—free from outside pressure, driven by passion rather than necessity. Timestamps 1:14 — Jerzee Joe — https://JerzeeJoe.com

Joined early by financial expert Al Smith, the conversation challenges a common habit—treating taxes as a once-a-year event. What if every financial move carried long-term tax consequences? And are you unknowingly paying more than you need to? The tone shifts as lifestyle influencer Shanisty Ireland brings practical, real-life solutions for spring entertaining, proving that hosting doesn’t have to be stressful to be memorable. But just as things feel light, the hour takes a powerful turn. Environmental wellness expert Mike Dillon exposes a largely overlooked issue: mold and indoor air quality in your home. Could brain fog, fatigue, or lingering symptoms be tied to something you can’t see? As the hour closes, callers bring the focus back to tax burden and financial reality, leaving listeners with a sobering thought: between your health and your finances, are there hidden forces quietly impacting your life more than you realize? Timestamps * 1:59 — Al Smith — https://goldeneaglefinancialltd.com/ * 13:48 — Shanisty Ireland — https://shanisty.com/ * 29:09 — Mike Dillon — https://airwaterhealing.com/ HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason takes a powerful turn as John Rush connects America’s founding principles to today’s most pressing cultural and political issues. Joined by Richard Battle, the hour opens with a gripping look back at Paul Revere's Ride and the Shot Heard Round the World—but quickly asks a deeper question: are the freedoms fought for then quietly being challenged now? That question intensifies as John dives into modern privacy concerns, exposing how smart TVs may be tracking and monetizing viewer behavior in ways most people never imagined. From there, the conversation escalates with Sunny Kutcher, tackling controversial legislation, free speech concerns, and the growing role of public awareness in holding power accountable. Across history, technology, and politics, a common thread emerges—control vs. freedom. Whether it’s the battlefield of 1775, the digital world inside your home, or laws shaping speech today, the stakes feel strikingly similar. The lingering question: are we recognizing the patterns… or repeating them?

Joined by Justin Everett, the hour begins with a behind-the-scenes look at how tax cuts, lending programs, and “Made in America” initiatives are shaping opportunities for business owners. But are those benefits reaching the people who need them most? The conversation then pivots to a deeper financial lens with Scott Garliss, exploring oil markets, tensions with Iran, and Wall Street reactions that seem to contradict the headlines. If the world feels unstable, why are markets signaling something different? From AI and semiconductor investing trends to energy independence and LNG expansion, the discussion builds toward one key theme—positioning for what’s next. As the hour closes, John brings it back home, questioning the business climate in high-regulation states and why companies are quietly relocating. The big question: in a rapidly shifting economy, are you adapting ahead of the curve… or reacting after it’s too late?

Joined by Jordan Goodman, the hour explores escalating tensions with Iran, the strategic battle over oil routes, and a deeper question—who really controls global power right now? Is this just about energy… or a financial war involving China, Europe, and the future of the petrodollar system? As oil, inflation, and global supply chains collide, the conversation shifts to your wallet—investments, gold and silver as protection, and a real estate market facing massive disruption. Could empty office towers become tomorrow’s housing solution? The discussion intensifies amid concerns about airline consolidation, rising travel costs, and bold predictions about SpaceX, AI, and the next wave of economic dominance. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve finds itself trapped—unable to act without consequences. From geopolitics to personal finance, one question lingers: are we watching short-term chaos… or the beginning of a long-term shift that changes everything? Timestamps 1:20 — Jordan Goodman — Financial expert HOUR 2 John and Andy dive deep into the internal battles shaping the future of Colorado politics—and the conversation doesn’t hold back. From the chaotic Colorado GOP Assembly to the structure of the caucus system itself, the hour asks a critical question: is the process empowering voters… or driving them away? As the discussion unfolds, the focus turns to hard data—voter registration, unaffiliated trends, and past election results. The hosts make a bold case that this isn’t about opinion or ideology, but simple math. Can Republicans win in a state trending blue, especially with divided support and competing candidates? Tensions rise as strategy clashes with principle. Should candidates aim for ideological purity, or take incremental steps to move the needle? And what happens when party unity breaks down before the general election even begins? With blunt analysis and uncomfortable truths, the hour leaves listeners with one unavoidable question: are political outcomes already decided long before Election Day? HOUR 3 In hour three, John and Andy launch into a high-impact discussion where global energy strategy and emerging technology collide. Joined by Larry Behrens, the hour explores a rapidly shifting world order—where U.S. energy exports surge, China faces supply pressure, and long-standing geopolitical alliances are being tested. Is the conflict in Iran really about nuclear threats… or a broader strategy to rebalance global power? As oil markets, LNG production, and currency dominance come into play, the conversation reveals how energy policy may be reshaping everything from gas prices to international influence. Then the focus pivots to AI, bringing the discussion closer to home. Through real-world examples and caller insights, the hosts unpack how artificial intelligence is transforming productivity, business, and entire industries. Is it a threat to jobs… or a tool for those willing to adapt? From global dominance to digital disruption, one theme remains: the future belongs to those who engage, learn, and evolve—or risk being left behind.

What starts as a practical discussion with Dave Bancroft on windows and energy efficiency quickly evolves into something much bigger: Who do you trust when making decisions about your home—and your life? From there, John shares two strikingly different vacation moments—one showing unity and respect among kids from all backgrounds, and another exposing what happens when accountability breaks down. What shapes behavior more—parenting, culture, or ideology? Then the conversation takes a serious turn as Alvin Louie joins to unpack a decades-long study on youth gender transitions. The findings raise difficult questions: Are we ignoring long-term consequences? And what responsibility do parents, schools, and institutions carry? Finally, John closes with a real-world cautionary tale about a home equity agreement gone wrong—reminding listeners that, whether it’s contracts, parenting, or life decisions, understanding the fine print matters. This hour asks one central question: Are we paying attention… before it’s too late? 👥 Timestamps 1:09 — Dave Bancroft — https://www.veteranwindowsdoors.com/ 31:19 — Alvin Louie — https://courageisahabit.org/ HOUR 2 John Rush opens Hour 2 with a blunt, no-nonsense reality check on Colorado politics—challenging assumptions, calling out internal party divisions, and asking a hard question: are Republicans setting themselves up to lose before the race even begins? As he breaks down the GOP assembly results and the impact of candidates like Scott Bottoms, Victor Marks, and Greg Lopez, one theme dominates—strategy matters more than enthusiasm. Is Colorado simply too blue… or are internal fractures making it worse? John explores the role of caucus control, party influence, and the growing disconnect he sees between grassroots movements and electability. Then, the tone shifts as Richard Rush joins, bringing a fresh perspective from the world of sports and business. From the controlled exclusivity of The Masters to the evolving challenges of NASCAR and fan engagement, the conversation uncovers a surprising truth—sometimes success comes from doing less, not more. Finally, the hour wraps up with a practical, real-world pivot—a detailed review of the 2026 Lexus RX 450h that blends innovation, efficiency, and comfort into one compelling package. Politics, strategy, sports, and cars—all connected by one idea: understanding what actually works. 👥 Timestamps 27:22 — Richard Rush 43:47 - 2026 Lexus RX 450h Review HOUR 3 John Rush opens Hour 3 with a gripping, controversial conversation with Ed Brodow, diving into cultural, ideological, and geopolitical tensions that raise a bigger question: Are Americans fully aware of the forces shaping the country's future? As they explore global trends and societal shifts, the discussion builds toward a deeper concern: What happens when a nation loses confidence in its own values? From there, John pivots to a sobering reality closer to home—America’s declining birth rate. With numbers falling well below replacement levels, he asks: Is this just a natural shift… or something with long-term consequences we’re ignoring? The hour then shifts again, tackling leadership accountability and political fallout, before landing on a practical but heated debate—Colorado’s proposed passenger rail system. Is it a visionary step forward, or another costly burden on taxpayers? From global ideology to local infrastructure, this hour challenges listeners to think critically about where the country is headed—and what choices matter most. 👥 Timestamps 1:08 — Ed Brodow — Author of The Prophet Wants Your Head in a Basket. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GM4CVN91
