The Truth About Food, Pharma, and Your Health. Hour 1 of Rush to Reason dives headfirst into one of the most provocative health conversations of our time—are we treating disease all wrong? John Rush, Dr. Kelly Victory, and Steve House explore emerging ideas in cancer treatment, including the surprising potential of repurposed drugs such as ivermectin and fenbendazole. Could creating a “hostile environment” for cancer be more effective—and less destructive—than traditional chemotherapy? The conversation expands into a broader look at immune health, prevention, and the growing skepticism around vaccines, including a controversial breast cancer vaccine currently in trials. But the real fireworks begin when the discussion turns to power and control—should judges, politicians, or medical professionals determine public health policy? Then comes a hard pivot to something every listener faces daily: food. From processed ingredients to misleading labels, the trio exposes how modern diets may be fueling chronic disease—and why real change faces massive resistance from powerful industries. Are Americans being protected… or profited from? And more importantly, what can you do about it? --- HOUR 2 Are Parents Being Kept in the Dark? From Schools to Global Tensions Hour 2 takes listeners from local concerns in the classroom to high-stakes global conflicts, revealing a common theme: are people fully informed about the systems shaping their lives? John is joined by Alvin Lui to uncover a program targeting young girls that raises serious questions about transparency in education. What’s being presented as empowerment may carry deeper ideological messaging—but how would parents even know? The conversation then shifts to action, exploring how parents can investigate, push back, and demand accountability from schools. But the focus doesn’t stay local for long. As Jim Pfaff joins the show, the discussion expands to election integrity, government policy, and rising instability around the world—from Iran to Cuba. Are global alliances shifting, and is the U.S. prepared for what comes next? The hour closes on a surprisingly practical note—driver’s education and personal responsibility—bringing everything back to a central question: Are we paying attention to the changes happening around us… or reacting too late? Timestamps * 1:08 — Alvin Lui — https://courageisahabit.org/ * 26:56 — Jim Pfaff — https://theconservativecaucus.com/ --- HOUR 3 The Hidden Financial Time Bomb Inside Government Systems, and From Parenting to Policy—Where Responsibility Begins Hour 3 delivers a wide-ranging and thought-provoking conversation that connects economics, politics, and personal responsibility in ways that may surprise listeners. John Rush is joined by Jerzee Joe to unpack the hidden financial realities behind government systems—starting with the U.S. Postal Service and expanding to a much bigger issue: underfunded pensions. How deep is the problem, and what happens if those promises can’t be kept? The discussion then shifts to taxation and economic migration, as high earners continue leaving states like California and New York. Are policies designed to generate revenue actually driving it away? From there, the conversation pivots sharply into global tensions, with bold takes on Iran and shifting political dynamics at home. But just as the stakes seem global, the hour comes full circle—back to parenting, independence, and the real-world skills young people are (or aren’t) learning. Are today’s challenges connected in ways we’re not seeing, and more importantly, are we preparing for what comes next? Timestamps 1:10 — Jerzee Joe https://www.jerzeejoe.com/

John Rush and Al Smith kick things off by exposing common money myths: Are tax refunds really a win, or just a missed opportunity? And is “playing it safe” with your money quietly costing you more than you realize? But the conversation quickly turns personal—and powerful. From the emotional reality of caring for loved ones with dementia to the growing concern over Alzheimer’s, John shares firsthand experiences that hit close to home. What’s really happening behind the scenes for caregivers—and why are these conditions on the rise? Then comes a wake-up call. With Troy Duell , the spotlight shifts to sugar, addiction, and hidden dangers in everyday foods. Could your diet be silently affecting your brain, your liver, and your future independence? In the end, one question lingers: what is your health—and your freedom—truly worth?

John Rush is joined by Richard Battle to explore the life of Andrew Jackson—a leader shaped by adversity, resilience, and grit. What can his story teach a generation that’s been told success requires privilege? But the tone quickly shifts. A viral street interview sparks a fiery discussion about perception, misinformation, and how far cultural narratives have drifted. Are Americans losing their ability to distinguish reality from ideology? And why are misconceptions about political beliefs so widespread? Then the conversation turns practical—and costly. From fuel blends to ethanol mandates, John breaks down what he believes is driving gas prices higher. Are outdated regulations and lobbying groups quietly impacting what you pay at the pump? By the end of the hour, one thing is clear: whether it’s leadership, culture, or energy policy—the real story may be far different than what you’ve been told. Timestamps * 1:08 — Richard Battle — Author / Speaker https://richardbattle.com/ HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush to Reason pulls back the curtain on power, policy, and who really controls the future of American life. John Rush is joined by Karen Bailey Chapman of SEMA to tackle a growing question: as vehicles become more advanced, will government regulations quietly limit your ability to modify—and even control—your own car? The conversation then pivots to national security and media narratives. Can former insiders truly be trusted, or are some voices amplified for political impact? And how do you separate fact from agenda in a world flooded with information? Later, author Kevin Mooney joins to challenge the driving forces behind climate policy. Are these initiatives about protecting the planet—or reshaping society through regulation, taxation, and control? The hour wraps with a hard look at Colorado politics, ballot access, and electability. Who actually has a chance to win—and are internal divisions sealing the outcome before it even begins? In the end, one question remains: who’s really making the decisions that shape your future?

In this compelling hour of Rush to Reason, guest host Andy Peth—joined by Luke Cashman and Tanner Coleman—dives into a cultural shift that’s impossible to ignore. The discussion begins with sharp global commentary before pivoting into a deeper, more personal question: why are nearly half of Americans no longer going to the movies? As the conversation unfolds, the hosts explore whether Hollywood has lost its connection to everyday audiences. Are modern films too focused on messaging instead of storytelling? Have rising costs, streaming convenience, and post-COVID habits permanently changed how we consume entertainment? From Oscar-winning films that few people actually watched to nostalgia for an era filled with unforgettable blockbusters, a clear theme emerges—audiences aren’t done with movies… they’re done with bad ones. The bigger question lingers: if Hollywood doesn’t adapt, will the theater experience become a thing of the past? HOUR 2 What happens when ideology collides with reality? In Hour 2 of Rush to Reason, Andy Peth and Jerzee Joe (https://www.jerzeejoe.com/) take listeners on a global and deeply philosophical journey—comparing nations, systems, and the human behaviors that drive them. From the dramatic contrast between Poland’s economic rise and Venezuela’s collapse, to a hard look at socialism versus capitalism, the hour builds toward a central question: what actually creates prosperity? Is it policy—or human nature itself? As real-world examples stack up, including economic struggles in Canada and policy shifts in New York and California, a pattern begins to emerge. The conversation pushes further, exploring taxation, wealth flight, and whether government expansion solves problems—or accelerates them. Cultural commentary adds another layer, challenging listeners to rethink what issues truly matter on a global scale. At its core, this hour isn’t just about politics—it’s about cause and effect. When decisions are driven by emotion instead of outcomes, what happens next? And more importantly… who pays the price? HOUR 3 What does it mean to represent America—and what happens when unity gives way to division? In Hour 3 of Rush to Reason, Andy Peth is joined by Eli Bremer for a powerful hour that begins with inspiration and ends with hard political reality. The conversation opens with an inside look at the Olympic spirit, highlighting athletes like Kaylee Humphreys and Jasmine Jones, and raises a compelling question: what unites Americans when everything else divides them? But that unity quickly gives way to a deeper, more urgent discussion about the future of Colorado politics. As internal battles intensify within the Republican Party, the hour explores a system under pressure—one shaped by control, process, and competing visions for the future. Is the current system empowering voters… or limiting them? And if the structure itself is flawed, can any outcome truly reflect the will of the people? From Olympic pride to political fracture, this hour asks a critical question: what happens when the systems meant to unite us begin pulling us apart?

https://RushToReason.com (3-16-26) HOUR 1 Spring weather swings spark more than just small talk—they kick off a practical and timely conversation with Hunter from Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning. As temperatures bounce from cold to summer-like heat, are you using your AC correctly—or setting yourself up for costly damage? Hunter breaks down what homeowners need to know right now, from filter changes to avoiding system strain during chilly nights. But the conversation quickly escalates beyond the thermostat. John shifts into rising global tensions with Iran, exploring new developments surrounding leadership, military strategy, and the potential involvement of Kurdish forces. What’s really unfolding behind the scenes—and how close are we to a larger conflict? Back home, a troubling Frontier Airlines incident raises questions about accountability and customer treatment. Is it a one-off mistake—or part of a bigger pattern? The hour takes a powerful turn into culture and history, examining controversial moments in entertainment and reflecting on the lessons of the Holocaust. Are we forgetting what matters most? HOUR 2 Hour 2 picks up with intensity as John doubles down on a deeply polarizing conversation—where is the line between political disagreement and something far more serious? As listener texts pour in, the debate escalates around figures like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, with John drawing firm conclusions and inviting callers to challenge him. A powerful exchange with callers Dave and Wayne brings faith, history, and logic into the spotlight. Can long-standing narratives withstand scrutiny? And how should Christians respond to hatred—especially when it’s directed back at them? The conversation raises uncomfortable but critical questions about truth, influence, and responsibility. Then, the tone shifts as Richard joins the program, bringing a breath of fresh air with discussions on March Madness, the rising cost of college sports, and the changing landscape of NIL deals. Could big money be reshaping competition forever? From there, the excitement builds with talk of a potential IndyCar race in Denver—big risks, big rewards, and major economic potential. The hour wraps with a high-performance review of the 2026 Toyota GR Supra, a turbocharged, driver-focused sports car that blends power, precision, and pure driving fun—before setting the stage for a deeper dive into global tensions ahead. Timestamps 3:19 – Dave (Caller) 20:44 – Wayne (Caller) 29:39 – Richard Rush HOUR 3 Hour 3 dives into global conflict, economic reality, and everyday decision-making—with stakes that hit closer to home than you might think. John is joined by retired Air Force Colonel Dr. Josh McConkie, who delivers a sobering look at the escalating situation with Iran. From asymmetric warfare and drone threats to the strategic battle over the Strait of Hormuz, the conversation explores what’s really happening behind the headlines. Is this conflict nearing its end—or entering a more calculated and dangerous phase? Back on the home front, John tackles financial myths and political consequences. Can annuities really deliver double-digit returns, or are investors being misled? And as TSA delays grow amid funding battles, who’s truly responsible—and how long will travelers tolerate the chaos? Then comes a deep dive into Colorado’s proposed swipe fee legislation—will it help businesses, or quietly raise costs for everyone? Finally, a real-world example of a billionaire relocating to avoid massive taxes sparks a bigger question: are policies driving wealth—and opportunity—out the door? And perhaps the biggest question of all: how do you win a war like this without putting boots on the ground?

It’s Friday on https://RushToReason.com, which means it’s time for Andy Peth’s 5-Star Movie Reviews. This week, Andy dives into two very different films—a chilling paranormal horror story and a deeply emotional drama about regret and redemption. Is “Undertone” a terrifying psychological thriller or just an overlong mood piece? And does “Reminders of Him” deliver the kind of heartfelt drama Hollywood rarely makes anymore? Andy breaks it all down using his signature 5-Star rating system designed around quality, political, and moral tones. Tune in to hear his complete review. Undertone — ★½☆☆☆ — 15:43 Andy Peth reviews this low-budget psychological horror film built around eerie audio recordings and paranormal podcast investigations. Reminders of Him — ★★★☆☆ — 28:46 This emotional drama follows a woman returning home after prison, desperate to reconnect with the daughter she has never been allowed to know. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason turns into a lively celebration of one of the most powerful elements in film: movie soundtracks. John, Andy, and Richard invited listeners to weigh in as they explore the songs and scores that didn’t just accompany movies—they helped define them. What makes a soundtrack unforgettable? Is it a sweeping orchestral score like Star Wars or Jurassic Park, or a collection of hit songs that instantly take you back to the film? The conversation becomes a rapid-fire tour through movie history as classics and fan favorites pour in from callers and texts. From iconic scores like Rocky, Titanic, and Chariots of Fire to song-driven films like Top Gun, Dirty Dancing, and Grease, the hosts debate which soundtracks truly elevated their movies. Animated films also dominate the discussion, with titles like The Lion King, Frozen, Moana, and Shrek demonstrating the power of music in storytelling. Along the way, listeners add even more entries—from Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and 2001: A Space Odyssey. By the end of the hour, one thing becomes clear: great movies may tell the story—but great music makes audiences feel it.

Hour 1 of Rush to Reason explores a wide-ranging discussion of health, vaccines, and medical questions many Americans are asking. John Rush is joined by Dr. Kelly Victory and Steve House to examine reports that severe cardiac events among younger Americans may be rising. What could be driving the increase, and why are doctors and policymakers reluctant to investigate it more aggressively? The conversation looks at the difference between traditional heart attacks and sudden cardiac death, along with concerns about myocarditis, spike proteins, and possible long-term effects of mRNA technology. Listeners ask whether an “off switch” for mRNA might exist and what testing options are available for those who want to understand their risk. From antibody testing and D-dimer blood tests to supplements that may reduce spike proteins, the panel answers listener questions while urging caution about online medical claims. The hour also examines the safety of vaccines such as flu shots and Shingrix, the integrity of the blood supply, and whether hormone replacement therapy could help aging men and women regain vitality. Are Americans getting the full story from the medical establishment—or are critical questions still going unanswered? Website mentioned https://www.labcorp.com/ HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason dives into Colorado politics, election strategy, and internal battles shaping the Republican Party’s future. John Rush begins with Zach Kraft of the Republican National Committee, discussing a controversial Colorado congressional candidate whose policies could threaten industries such as oil, gas, and ranching in the state. The discussion expands to national politics, including a government shutdown fight tied to Department of Homeland Security funding and ICE, raising questions about how political gridlock affects everyday workers. The hour then shifts into an unfiltered look at why Republicans continue losing elections in Colorado. Are voting systems really the issue—or are weak candidates, poor campaign strategy, and party infighting to blame? Rush argues the real problems lie within the party itself, including the caucus system, fractured campaigns, and limited voter outreach. Listeners call in to debate election integrity, messaging, and candidate viability. The hour ends with a warning: if conservative votes remain divided—including unaffiliated runs—Democrats could easily maintain control. Can Republicans unite and build a winning strategy, or will internal divisions continue to cost them elections? Timestamps 1:08 — Zach Kraft — Central Regional Communications Director. https://gop.com HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush to Reason begins with a powerful personal story before turning to Colorado politics. Author Katie Asher discusses her book The Book of Heaven, sharing how her non-speaking autistic son eventually learned to communicate—revealing intelligence and perceptions that challenge common assumptions about severe autism. Could society be misunderstanding what autism really is? The conversation then shifts to Colorado politics as listeners call in to discuss party unity, grassroots involvement, and the resignation of Colorado GOP Chair Britta Horne. Rush argues that internal factions—particularly those connected to Dave Williams and the “Davidians” movement—have fractured the party and weakened its ability to compete statewide. Rush warns that without structural reform and stronger leadership, the Republican Party may struggle to compete in a state trending increasingly blue. Can the party rebuild trust with voters and unify its base—or will internal divisions continue shaping Colorado’s political future?

Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. https://RushToReason.com 3-11-26 HOUR 1 Hour 1 of Rush to Reason dives into Health and Wellness Wednesday, blending practical planning with conversations about brain health, sleep, and aging. John Rush begins with estate planning attorney Michael Bailey, discussing how changing tax laws and retirement rules—such as those affecting inherited IRAs—can impact what families pass to the next generation. Are Americans planning wisely, or unknowingly leaving more to the IRS? The conversation then shifts to brain health, dementia prevention, and daily habits that influence long-term wellness. Drawing from research by a Harvard neurologist, John explores how sleep, stress management, social interaction, exercise, and lifelong learning may help protect cognitive function. Could small daily routines be the key to staying mentally sharp? Later, Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum joins the program to discuss sleep science, daylight saving time, fatigue, and cognitive health. Why do some people struggle for days after the clock change? And could poor sleep be quietly contributing to chronic pain, fatigue, and dementia risk? From estate strategy to brain longevity, the hour asks an important question: are your daily habits helping—or hurting—your future? Timestamps 1:57 — Michael Bailey — https://michaelbaileylawllc.com 27:51 — Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum — https://endfatigue.com & https://vitality101.com/ HOUR 2 Hour 2 opens with a conversation about leadership, accountability, and adversity with author Richard Battle. What separates leaders who rise during challenges from those who collapse under pressure? Through real-world stories, Battle explains how trust, honesty, and a leader’s first response to adversity can shape long-term credibility. The discussion then turns to media narratives and public perception, including controversial crime statistics (https://bjs.ojp.gov). John questions whether news coverage highlights some stories while ignoring others that do not fit prevailing narratives. Next, the focus shifts to preparedness as John warns about possible Xcel Energy power shutoffs during extreme wind and wildfire conditions. What should families do if the power goes out for days? The hour concludes with Colorado politics, examining debates over coal plant closures, energy reliability, school choice, and education funding. As Colorado surpasses six million residents, the question becomes: can policy decisions keep pace with the state’s growing needs? HOUR 3 Hour 3 begins with Jerzee Joe’s rapid-fire “stupid stories of the week,” covering topics ranging from an Oregon proposal that could ban hunting and livestock production to debates over media bias, cultural politics, and race narratives in the headlines. Clips from Senator Eric Schmidt, Senator John Kennedy, Bill Maher, and Congressman Wesley Hunt highlight concerns about political rhetoric and media framing. The conversation then turns to gun control policies and rising background check fees, raising a larger question: are regulations quietly limiting the rights of lower-income Americans? Later, Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capital joins John to analyze tensions in the Middle East and the importance of the Strait of Hormuz, where nearly 20% of the world’s oil supply moves daily. If Iran disrupts that chokepoint, what happens to global energy markets? The hour wraps with a discussion of energy geopolitics, LNG exports, inflation, Fed policy, and market volatility—examining how global conflicts can ripple into fuel prices, the economy, and financial markets at home.
