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 Is Your Health Really Yours… Or Have You Handed It Over Without Realizing It? On this powerful Health and Wellness Wednesday, John Rush challenges listeners to rethink everything they assume about healthcare. The hour begins with a provocative question: Who really controls your health, you, your doctor, or the system? That question threads through every segment, from peptides and personal responsibility to a deep dive into the hidden costs driving America’s healthcare crisis. With guest Peter Basica, the conversation exposes a startling truth: the real problem may not be fraud, but that people simply aren’t getting well. From poor compliance to lifestyle choices, what’s silently driving costs higher? And is money the deciding factor in who gets better care? Then, Thomas Greither reveals a surprising culprit behind everyday fatigue: iron deficiency. Could your afternoon slump be more than just stress or coffee? From absorption challenges to overlooked diet mistakes, the discussion uncovers how small habits may be sabotaging your energy. The hour wraps with a practical wake-up call. Sometimes the smallest details, like reading a label, can reveal the biggest health gaps. 👤 Timestamps 12:20 — Peter Basica —https://360smartercare.com/ 28:40 — Thomas Greither https://www.florahealth.com/ 🎙️HOUR 2 Are We Being Told The Full Story… Or Just The Version We’re Meant To Hear? In Hour 2 of Rush To Reason, John Rush takes listeners on a journey from personal growth to global policy—connecting dots that don’t often get connected. The hour begins with Richard Battle delivering a simple but powerful framework: aim high, work hard, never quit. But beneath those six words lies a deeper challenge: are you building your life intentionally, or drifting through it comparing yourself to others? Then the conversation pivots sharply. A headline claiming renewable energy has overtaken coal sparks a deeper investigation—what’s missing from the narrative? From hidden production costs to long-term sustainability, John questions whether “clean energy” is as clean as advertised. With Sunny Kutcher, the focus shifts again, this time to a major Supreme Court ruling on gerrymandering. Is this a win for fairness… or just the beginning of a new political battle? By the end of the hour, one theme ties it all together: whether it’s your personal success, energy policy, or political power, are you seeing the full picture, or just the part someone wants you to see? 👤 Timestamps 1:08 — Richard Battle — https://richardbattle.com 28:57 — Sunny Kutcher — https://yaas.org 🎙️HOUR 3 Who’s Really In Charge—Leaders, Laws… Or The Next Generation Being Raised Right Now? Hour 3 of Rush To Reason with John Rush brings a powerful mix of politics, policy, economics, and culture—ending with a surprisingly relatable question: what kind of future are we actually creating? The hour kicks off with a fiery Capitol Hill clash featuring Lee Zeldin, raising critical questions about government authority, legal boundaries, and whether agencies are enforcing laws—or stretching them. From there, the focus turns local, as John challenges a proposed Colorado rideshare bill, questioning whether laws driven by personal experience risk unintended consequences for everyone else. The conversation then expands into the economy with Scott Garliss, unpacking Federal Reserve decisions, market trends, and why corporate profits may be telling a very different story than the headlines. But the hour closes on a cultural note—sparked by Serena Williams—about discipline, parenting, and responsibility. In a world leaning toward comfort and convenience, are we raising resilient individuals… or setting them up to struggle later? 👤 Timestamps 28:00 — Scott Garliss https://www.bentpinecapital.com/

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 A High-Stakes Look At Power, Energy, And The Cost Of Decisions John Rush leads a fast-moving, high-impact hour that dives straight into global pressure points and local consequences. What’s really happening with oil—and why is Iran suddenly in a desperate position? As storage fills and infrastructure risks long-term damage, the conversation raises a critical question: who truly holds the leverage, and how will it be used? From there, the discussion expands into a broader reality check—challenging assumptions about green energy, exposing weaknesses in global economies, and even questioning what we think we know about China’s population and long-term stability. Are the systems people rely on actually built to last? Closer to home, John and Andy Peth shift gears to practical solutions like rainwater collection—simple, effective, and surprisingly overlooked. But the hour closes with a sharper edge. The debate over Buc-ee's becomes more than local news—it’s a reflection of a bigger issue. What happens when opportunity is rejected? Growth doesn’t stop… it just moves somewhere else. HOUR 2 A Party Divided: What Happens When Strategy And Reality Collide John Rush leads a high-stakes second hour that pulls listeners deep inside the political battles shaping Colorado’s future. With Zach Kraft joining early, the conversation begins with a critical question: how do Republicans win in districts that aren’t solidly red? Is it about ideology—or understanding the voters in front of you? From there, the hour takes a sharp turn inward. Joined by Britta Horn, the discussion exposes a year-long internal fight—lawsuits, party infighting, and competing visions for the future. Who’s really responsible for the chaos? And what happens when internal battles start overshadowing the mission of winning elections? The conversation builds toward a deeper concern: are strategic decisions being replaced by emotional reactions? And if so, what does that mean for upcoming races? By the end of the hour, one question lingers—can a divided party adapt to reality and grow… or will it continue fighting itself while opportunities slip away? Timestamps 1:08 — Zach Kraft — https://gop.com/ 26:31— Britta Horn — Former Colorado GOP Chair HOUR 3 Winning Or Losing Comes Down To One Thing—The System. John leads a direct, data-driven third hour alongside Andy Peth and guest Eli Bremer—and the focus is clear: why aren’t Republicans winning in Colorado, and what actually needs to change? The conversation cuts through assumptions quickly. Do open primaries hurt Republicans? According to Eli, the data says no. The real issue may be deeper—how candidates are selected in the first place. The caucus system takes center stage as a bottleneck that limits competition and produces candidates who aren’t prepared for real-world elections. From there, the discussion becomes even more practical. What actually wins elections? Fundraising, competition, and targeting where the votes are—not just where it feels comfortable. Hard truths emerge: winning more counties doesn’t matter if you’re losing population centers. Strategy—not sentiment—decides outcomes. As the hour closes, one message stands out: chasing unrealistic solutions won’t fix anything. If there’s a path forward, it starts with fixing the system, embracing competition, and focusing on what actually wins. Timestamps 1:08 — Eli Bremer — https://x.com/elibremer

John Rush opens the hour alongside Hunter from Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning, tackling the real-world impact of unpredictable weather, rising repair costs, and why proactive HVAC maintenance—and even heat pump upgrades—could save homeowners from costly surprises. But as the conversation shifts, the tone quickly intensifies. A shocking alleged assassination attempt involving Donald Trump becomes the focal point, raising urgent questions about security, media narratives, and how quickly information spreads in today’s digital age. With platforms like X delivering real-time updates, are traditional outlets losing control of the story? John dives deeper, challenging the responses of political leaders and cultural figures, including Barack Obama and Jimmy Kimmel, and questioning whether their words—or lack of clarity—reveal something more. Is this simply politics as usual, or a deeper divide shaping how Americans interpret right, wrong, and responsibility? As listeners weigh in, one question lingers: in moments that demand moral clarity, who is truly willing to speak—and who chooses not to? Guest Timestamps 1:08 — Hunter — https://www.cubcreekhvac.com/ HOUR 2 John Rush launches Hour 2 by digging deeper into the shocking alleged assassination attempt, raising critical questions about how it happened, what motivated it, and why so many still refuse to clearly condemn it. As new details emerge—including the suspect’s background and cross-country travel—John presses listeners to confront uncomfortable realities. Is the truth being ignored… or intentionally avoided? The conversation intensifies as media influence comes under fire, with figures like Jimmy Kimmel drawing scrutiny for rhetoric that some argue crosses a dangerous line. Meanwhile, conspiracy theories swirl—but are they distractions from simpler, more troubling explanations? Then, a shift—sports take center stage. The Colorado Avalanche look dominant, but the Denver Nuggets face serious questions. With Nikola Jokić struggling to find rhythm and the team lacking cohesion, are major changes looming? The hour wraps up with a practical twist—a detailed review of the 2026 Lexus RZ 550e. From politics to playoffs to performance vehicles, one theme remains: what’s real, what matters, and what comes next? Timestamps 44:51 - 2026 Lexus RZ 550e Review HOUR 3 From Chaos to Clarity—Who’s Thinking Clearly in Uncertain Times? John opens Hour 3 by circling back to the weekend’s shocking events, but quickly pivots into something just as critical—how people think, decide, and respond under pressure. As listener calls roll in, the conversation expands beyond politics into strategy, economics, and personal responsibility. A powerful interview with business coach Kurt Hegetschweiler shifts the focus to growth in uncertain times. From understanding margins to building resilience through disciplined cycles of effort and recovery, the message is clear: success isn’t accidental—it’s intentional. Then, the discussion turns real. Calls about political strategy, taxes, and everyday financial decisions expose a deeper issue—mindset. Why do some people adapt and grow, while others stay stuck? From progressive taxation to personal spending habits, John argues that incentives—and choices—drive outcomes. The hour closes with sharp commentary on policy, accountability, and the importance of common sense in a world full of noise. Whether in business, politics, or life, one question remains: are you thinking clearly… or just reacting? Guest Timestamps 5:59 Kurt Hegetschweiler — https://builderscoach.com/

Andy Peth kicks things off with a lively, offbeat opening—blending pop culture, trivia, and playful banter before diving into his signature 5-Star Movie Reviews. This could be the most extreme movie review contrast you’ve ever heard. One film crashes and burns so badly it earns zero stars… while another brings the King of Pop back to life on the big screen. Andy Peth breaks down Desert Warrior and Michael using his signature 5-Star system—calling out what works, what doesn’t, and what might surprise you. The conversation didn’t stop at Hollywood. The show pivots into the chaos of the NFL Draft, where unexpected picks, bold trades, and questionable decisions spark debate. Joined by Richard Rush, the discussion explores winners, reaches, and what it all means for teams like the Broncos as they head into the next rounds. With surprises still looming, the hour leaves listeners wondering—who really won the night? ⏱️ Movie Review Timestamps 8:05 — Desert Warrior review begins 21:24 — Michael review begins 🎬 Find the complete breakdown of Andy’s Movie Reviews ➡️ https://www.rushtoreason.com/movie-reviews-2/ HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason turns into a fast-paced, music-filled journey across generations as Andy Peth leads a lively discussion on the greatest male recording artists of all time. What begins as a fun guessing game quickly evolves into a wide-ranging celebration of music history—from icons like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and Johnny Cash to modern stars like Harry Styles and Justin Timberlake. Listeners and callers jump in, adding names like Freddie Mercury and Steve Perry, sparking debate about vocal range, stage presence, and what truly defines greatness. The conversation blends humor, nostalgia, and surprising picks—touching on everything from songwriting brilliance to unforgettable performances.

Filling in for John Rush, they warn that this draft could unravel fast, with teams likely to overthink picks and create chaos early. With no clear consensus, debates heat up around top prospects like Jeremiah Love and Caleb Downs, raising the question: Who are the real elite players? A live caller adds fuel, challenging the direction of the New York Giants and spotlighting how coaching and discipline may matter more than talent. The conversation then shifts to impact moves, including the Denver Broncos trading for Jalen Waddle, a signal they’re ready to compete now. Add in looming decisions around Fernando Mendoza and a wave of trades, and the stakes rise quickly. With a weaker class this year and a loaded one ahead, the real question is: who’s thinking long-term, and who’s about to get it very wrong? HOUR 2 The NFL Draft chaos intensifies, and Andy and Richard dive headfirst into a mock draft that quickly proves just how unpredictable this year really is. Filling in for John Rush, they take on the role of GMs, balancing smart strategy with the very real expectation that teams won’t always make the right call. After the obvious first pick of Fernando Mendoza, the board turns chaotic—forcing tough decisions and surprising twists. From bold moves like the New York Jets selecting a high-upside defender to aggressive trades involving the New Orleans Saints, the draft unfolds with risk at every turn. Teams like the Tennessee Titans gamble on elite talent despite positional concerns, while the New York Giants build a defensive core that could reshape their future. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys swing big on risk, the Kansas City Chiefs reinforce their defense, and disciplined teams quietly build through the trenches. As the first half of the round closes, one question dominates: Who is drafting to win… and who is setting themselves up for regret? HOUR 3 The chaos of the draft continues, and Richard Rush and Andy Peth lean fully into the unpredictability that defines this year’s board. As the mock draft wraps, one theme becomes crystal clear: there are no safe assumptions, only decisions that reveal how teams truly think. From foundational moves by teams like the Detroit Lions to upside swings across the board, the draft highlights a league divided between discipline and risk. The Minnesota Vikings and Carolina Panthers add dynamic playmakers, while late-round strategy, like the Arizona Cardinals trading up for Ty Simpson, shows just how uncertain the quarterback landscape is. But the biggest insights go beyond individual picks. Watch for movement, teams trading, reacting, and adjusting in real time. Pay attention to organizations with multiple picks, like the Dallas Cowboys, and how they control the flow of the draft. And most importantly, track which teams stick to the strength of the draft, especially along the offensive and defensive lines. The conversation closes with a bold takeaway: the smartest teams won’t chase need, they’ll build strength. And with the Denver Broncos adding Jalen Waddle, there’s real belief they could emerge as a top contender in the AFC.

In this powerful Health and Wellness Wednesday, John Rush, joined by Michael Bailey and later Troy Duell, connects the dots between stress, planning, and long-term brain health. From the emotional cost of unprepared estate situations to the silent damage caused by chronic stress, the conversation reveals how preparation can protect more than just your assets; it can protect your well-being. Then the emphasis shifts to a growing crisis: dementia and Alzheimer’s. With one in four Americans at risk, John explores what’s really driving the surge. Is it diet, sugar, or processed foods? Or something deeper in how we live? As Troy Duell joins, the discussion expands into brain fog, sleep, nutrition, and the overlooked importance of cognitive involvement. Are you challenging your brain—or letting it coast? From whole foods and healthy fats to fasting, hydration, and even microplastics, this hour is packed with insights that might change how you think about your health. The takeaway? Your future mental and physical clarity depends on the choices you make today. 2. Guest Timestamps * 1:57 — Michael Bailey — https://MobileEstatePlanning.com * 29:45 — Troy Duell — Centurion Health — https://centurion.health HOUR 2 What happens when history, politics, and modern power collide in real time? In Hour 2, John dives directly into the battle over truth, influence, and the future of American thought. Joined by Richard Battle, the hour begins with a look back at the Founding Fathers—revealing how figures like James Monroe rose not through elite systems, but through grit, sacrifice, and self-education. But how does that compare to today’s culture of dependency and distraction? Then the conversation pivots—hard. From the “dumbing down” of society to the rise of political power plays, John exposes a realm where information is currency. What if you could track politicians’ stock trades and profit from their decisions? And what does that say about the system itself? The intensity builds as Sunny Kutcher joins, unpacking explosive allegations, media silence, and the growing role of everyday Americans in discovering the truth. Who controls the narrative—and why? As the hour closes, John delivers a blunt message: labels, ideologies, and systems don’t define reality—facts do. The real question is… are you willing to look? Guest Timestamps * 1:13 — Richard Battle — https://richardbattle.com * 27:35 — Sunny Kutcher — https://www.yaas.org HOUR 3 What if the biggest stories shaping your future are the ones hiding in plain sight? In Hour 3, John Rush and Jerzee Joe kick things off with perspective—reminding listeners to measure success not by what’s missing, but by what’s been achieved. But that moment of reflection quickly gives way to a whirlwind of headlines that feel almost unbelievable… yet very real. The hour raises a critical question: are today’s outcomes the result of poor leadership… or intentional direction? As the conversation shifts, Scott Garliss joins to break down what’s happening beneath the surface of the markets. While global instability grows, the U.S. may be quietly gaining strength—drawing investment, building momentum, and signaling a potential shift most people aren’t seeing. Then the focus returns home—where policy meets reality. With EV sales dropping sharply after subsidies end, John highlights a hard truth: what happens when incentives drive behavior? From personal success to global markets, this hour connects the dots—leaving one lingering question: are we paying attention to what really matters?

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?
