Rush To Reason

🎬 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?

Don’t just listen, call in with your perspective at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222. We’re live Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. Hour 1 of Rush To Reason opens with John Rush setting the tone for Health and Wellness Wednesday, pushing back on quick fixes and challenging listeners to take ownership of their health—physically, mentally, and financially. Financial planner Al Smith (https://goldeneaglefinancialltd.com/) joins the show to break down retirement planning, compound interest, and why waiting even a few years can dramatically change your future. Is Social Security enough? And what happens if your “plan” is no plan at all? The conversation then shifts to everyday wellness as food and lifestyle influencer Shanisty Ireland (https://shesbecomingdomestic.com/ ) explores 2026 food trends, protein-first mornings, cutting processed foods, and how healthy habits—or unhealthy ones—start at home. Later, Dr. Julie Gatza (https://naturessources.com/) dives deeper into digestion, enzymes, hydration, and why feeling hungry, bloated, or exhausted may have less to do with calories and more to do with how your body processes food. Are you feeding your body—or just filling it? This hour challenges listeners to stop collecting information and start applying it. Guest Timestamps * Al Smith – 1:58 * Shanisty Ireland – 13:12 * Dr. Julie Gatza – 28:09 HOUR 2 Hour 2 dives straight into foundational questions about freedom, power, and accountability. John Rush is joined by Richard Battle (https://richardbattle.com/), who challenges the growing popularity of socialism by arguing that it runs directly against human nature. From classrooms to history to faith, they ask a blunt question: if socialism has never worked—and always requires force—why do people keep believing this time will be different? The hour then shifts to real-world consequences as John breaks down a major Colorado Supreme Court TABOR ruling, exposing how the City of Lakewood must refund over $42 million in unlawfully collected taxes. What does this mean for other cities quietly bypassing voter approval? Later, Sunny Kutcher (https://www.yaas.org/) joins the conversation, expanding the scope to immigration, sanctuary policies, nonprofit fraud, and national leadership. Are deportation numbers being misrepresented? Why is oversight being weakened after billion-dollar fraud revelations? And who benefits when accountability disappears? Guest Timestamps * Richard Battle - 1:14 * Sunny Kutcher (Young Americans Against Socialism) - 28:16 HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason opens with Jerzee Joe (https://www.jerzeejoe.com/), who lays out a striking contrast between past and present political rhetoric—highlighting how figures like Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Chuck Schumer once spoke forcefully about border security. What changed, and why are those same arguments now labeled extreme? The discussion moves from immigration hypocrisy to cultural flashpoints, including protests that cross legal lines and schools blurring constitutional boundaries—raising serious First Amendment questions. The conversation then shifts to the economy and global power dynamics. Scott Garliss of Ben Pine Capital (https://x.com/CScottGarliss) breaks down why Wall Street wasn’t nearly as alarmed by the Greenland and NATO headlines as the media suggested, and how Trump’s pressure tactics may be less chaos and more strategy. From Japan’s bond market shock to cooling inflation and potential rate cuts, Garliss explains what’s really driving recent market swings. Are investors reacting to noise—or repositioning for what comes next? This hour connects politics, markets, and culture into one urgent question: are we witnessing instability, or a fundamental realignment? Guest Timestamps * Jerzee Joe – 1:08 * Scott Garliss - 28:03

Big questions. High stakes and Consequences Reaching Far Beyond Colorado. Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with urgency and sharp commentary as John Rush sets the tone: something feels off—and voters know it. From TABOR and taxes to crime, cost of living, and Colorado’s political direction, the conversation asks hard questions about leadership and accountability in a blue-leaning state. The centerpiece of the hour is an extended interview with Jason Mikesell (https://www.mikesell4gov.com/), Republican candidate for Colorado governor. Mikesell lays out a strategy focused on electability, public safety, fiscal discipline, and kitchen-table issues, arguing that Republicans must win independents without abandoning core principles. Drawing on his law-enforcement and business background, he stresses leadership over ideology, law and order, and the need to resist California-style policies that raise costs and drive out jobs. John presses him on faith voters, government staffing, crime policy, and everyday regulations—from early prisoner releases to catalytic-converter mandates—that hit average Coloradans directly. The hour closes with candid analysis of the GOP field, movement politics vs. broad appeal, and why candidate choice—not just policy—may decide Colorado’s future. Is TABOR the last guardrail? Can a “dark horse” win where others failed? And what issues actually move swing voters right now? Guest Timestamp * Jason Mikesell - 11:04 HOUR 2 Hour 2 intensifies quickly as John and Andy tackle law and order, political strategy, and internal GOP turmoil. The hour opens with a hard-hitting interview featuring Jody Weiss, former FBI agent and former Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department. Weiss breaks down the Minnesota church disruption, explaining why claims of “free speech” don’t apply on private property and why existing federal laws could—and should—be enforced. How long can ICE operate while under siege, and what happens when local officials refuse to cooperate? The conversation then pivots to optics and strategy, questioning whether aggressive tactics on ICE, Greenland, and even Jerome Powell are helping or hurting the broader mission. Is President Trump right on the goal—but wrong on the approach? When does pressure become counterproductive? The final stretch turns inward, as John details allegations of digital sabotage inside the Colorado GOP following a leadership change. Deleted accounts, exported data, withheld credentials—was this routine, or a deliberate attempt to erase institutional memory? And if so, does it rise to legal action? Guest Timestamps * Jody Weiss - 1:08 HOUR 3 Hour 3 opens with John, Andy, and Charlie confronting fear-driven narratives around AI and robotics. Is technology the real threat—or is it declining productivity and work ethic? John argues AI isn’t “end times,” but a necessity for competitiveness, warning that nations who fall behind will pay an economic price. If jobs are changing, is that because of machines—or because culture and education are failing workers? The hour then pivots to a jaw-dropping immigration fraud exposé tied to an undercover investigation reported by Townhall Magazine. Andy details allegations of handlers coaching illegal immigrants on how to lie for asylum, extorting monthly payments, and even bribing immigration judges—suggesting a nationwide, billion-dollar criminal enterprise embedded across communities. Finally, the discussion widens to DOJ priorities. Why, the hosts ask, are people fixated on releasing Epstein files when Pam Bondi faces an unprecedented, active enforcement crisis involving gangs, fraud, and overwhelmed ICE operations? The hour closes with a sobering challenge: are Americans focused on yesterday’s scandals because they don’t grasp the scale of today’s emergency?

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with John Rush taking on one of the most misunderstood concepts in America today: free speech. What does it actually protect—and where does it stop? Using real-world examples from churches, workplaces, schools, stadiums, airlines, and even the NFL, John breaks down the critical difference between public spaces and private property, challenging assumptions on both the left and the right. The discussion intensifies with calls from listeners highlighting school censorship and workplace double standards, raising tough questions about when speech is being silenced—and when rules are simply being enforced. John then pivots sharply into Colorado GOP politics, alleging serious digital misconduct by former party leadership and warning about the dangers of poor oversight, technical ignorance, and unchecked power. Who’s accountable when records disappear? And how much damage can one person do on the way out the door? This hour is blunt, confrontational, and packed with uncomfortable truths—about rights, responsibility, and why misunderstanding civics has consequences far beyond social media outrage. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason dives headfirst into economics, the Federal Reserve, NFL playoff drama, and a high-profile car review. John Rush is joined by Mitch Francis, founder of Francis Development Inc. (https://Bad-AssSolutions.com), for a blunt breakdown of why the Fed’s interest-rate strategy may be hurting Main Street more than helping inflation. Why do unelected officials wield so much power—and why does the cost always land on consumers and small businesses? The hour then shifts into NFL playoff chaos, as John and Richard Rush analyze the Broncos’ emotional win, controversial calls, and the sudden loss of Bo Nix. Can backup Jarrett Stidham rise to the moment, and is Denver actually ahead of schedule? The hour closes with a detailed car review of the 2026 Lexus TX 550h Plug-In Hybrid. From monetary policy to playoff pressure to plug-in hybrids, this hour asks one big question: who’s really prepared for what comes next?

John is joined by Mark Mix, president of National Right to Work (https://www.nrtw.org/), who breaks down Colorado legislation that could force workers to pay union dues without a vote. Is this about representation—or political power funded by workers who may not agree with it? The hour then pivots sharply to planned power outages, lawsuits, and accountability, as John dismantles the City of Golden's claims and explains why Xcel Energy is prioritizing liability protection after the Marshall Fire settlement. Listeners weigh in with legal and real-world insight, exposing how Colorado’s liability standards, regulatory politics, and court venues are shaping utility behavior statewide. The takeaway is blunt: outages aren’t a fluke—they’re the future. From elections to energy policy to personal preparedness, this hour challenges listeners to ask a hard question: if the system won’t protect you, are you ready to protect yourself?

Can backup Jarrett Stidham rise to the moment, and is Denver actually ahead of schedule? The hour closes with a detailed car review of the 2026 Lexus TX 550h Plug-In Hybrid. From monetary policy to playoff pressure to plug-in hybrids, this hour asks one big question: who’s really prepared for what comes next?

John is joined by Mark Mix, president of National Right to Work (https://www.nrtw.org/), who breaks down Colorado legislation that could force workers to pay union dues without a vote. Is this about representation—or political power funded by workers who may not agree with it? The hour then pivots sharply to planned power outages, lawsuits, and accountability, as John dismantles the City of Golden's claims and explains why Xcel Energy is prioritizing liability protection after the Marshall Fire settlement. Listeners weigh in with legal and real-world insight, exposing how Colorado’s liability standards, regulatory politics, and court venues are shaping utility behavior statewide. The takeaway is blunt: outages aren’t a fluke—they’re the future. From elections to energy policy to personal preparedness, this hour challenges listeners to ask a hard question: if the system won’t protect you, are you ready to protect yourself?

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with John Rush taking on one of the most misunderstood concepts in America today: free speech. What does it actually protect—and where does it stop? Using real-world examples from churches, workplaces, schools, stadiums, airlines, and even the NFL, John breaks down the critical difference between public spaces and private property, challenging assumptions on both the left and the right. The discussion intensifies with calls from listeners highlighting school censorship and workplace double standards, raising tough questions about when speech is being silenced—and when rules are simply being enforced. John then pivots sharply into Colorado GOP politics, alleging serious digital misconduct by former party leadership and warning about the dangers of poor oversight, technical ignorance, and unchecked power. Who’s accountable when records disappear? And how much damage can one person do on the way out the door? This hour is blunt, confrontational, and packed with uncomfortable truths—about rights, responsibility, and why misunderstanding civics has consequences far beyond social media outrage. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason dives headfirst into economics, the Federal Reserve, NFL playoff drama, and a high-profile car review. John Rush is joined by Mitch Francis, founder of Francis Development Inc. (https://Bad-AssSolutions.com), for a blunt breakdown of why the Fed’s interest-rate strategy may be hurting Main Street more than helping inflation. Why do unelected officials wield so much power—and why does the cost always land on consumers and small businesses? The hour then shifts into NFL playoff chaos, as John and Richard Rush analyze the Broncos’ emotional win, controversial calls, and the sudden loss of Bo Nix.

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? HOUR 2 Hour 2 delivers a powerful mix of cultural analysis and global security, led by John Rush. The hour opens with Leslie Corbly (https://lesliecorbly.com/), author of Progressive Prejudice, examining Supreme Court cases, gender ideology, and the consequences of abandoning biological reality. What happens to women, families, and society when masculinity is treated as toxic and truth becomes negotiable? Corbly argues that the erosion of healthy male roles creates instability, vulnerability, and a deep identity crisis—especially for younger generations. The focus then shifts overseas as Kenneth Abramowitz (https://savethewest.com/), author of The Multifront War, warns of mass civilian killings in Iran and a regime he describes as a criminal death cult. Abramowitz outlines non-kinetic and kinetic options—from cyber warfare to economic blockades—and frames Iran, China, and global unrest as part of a broader proxy war. As threats escalate and leadership decisions loom, this hour asks hard questions: are we prepared for a world where weakness invites chaos—and strength may be the only path to peace? Guest Timestamps * Leslie Corbly – 1:12 * Kenneth Abramowitz - 28:01 HOUR 3 Hour 3 is a fast-moving, high-impact conversation with John Rush and Jerzee Joe (https://www.jerzeejoe.com/), blending culture, economics, and Colorado politics. Joe opens with sharp contrasts between socialism and capitalism, using historical context and quotes from economists to ask why failed ideas keep resurfacing. The hour then turns blunt as they dissect Supreme Court testimony, cultural absurdities, and what they see as a collapse of common sense. From there, the discussion explodes into numbers—billions in alleged fraud tied to Obamacare enrollments, state Medicaid programs, and taxpayer-funded services that appear barely used or abused. Is fraud now baked into the system, and why does accountability feel nonexistent? The final stretch zeroes in on Colorado’s looming 2026 ballot fight over TABOR, with John warning that raising the cap could permanently end taxpayer refunds under the banner of “school funding.” Are voters being emotionally manipulated—and will they ask where the money actually goes before surrendering fiscal protections? This hour challenges listeners to question narratives, follow the money, and decide what accountability really looks like. Guest Timestamps * Jerzee Joe - 1:10

Hour 1 of Rush to Reason sets the tone with a powerful Health and Wellness Wednesday led by John Rush, diving into preparation, prevention, and personal responsibility. Estate planning attorney Michael Bailey (https://michaelbaileylawllc.com/)explains why 2026 changes aren’t just about taxes—but about protecting families before emergencies strike. What happens when your child turns 18, and you legally lose access? Are you truly prepared if something goes wrong? The hour then pivots to habit change and alcohol awareness with wellness coach Erica Mallory (https://www.ericamallery.com/), who challenges the all-or-nothing mindset of “Dry January.” Why do resolutions fail so quickly, and is curiosity more powerful than willpower when it comes to lasting change? Finally, integrative physician Holly Lucille (https://www.drhollylucille.com/) tackles an unusually brutal cold-and-flu season. Is your immune system weaker—or just depleted? From sleep and circadian rhythm to nutrition and resilience, the focus shifts from reacting to illness to preventing it altogether. This hour asks tough questions, connects everyday habits to long-term health, and reminds listeners that small choices today shape outcomes tomorrow. Guest Timestamps * Michael Bailey (Estate Planning) – 2:00 * Erica Mallory (Alcohol Wellness Coach) – 13:20 * Dr. Holly Lucille (Integrative Medicine) – 31:22 HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason dives headfirst into culture, ideology, and the battle over truth as John challenges listeners to examine where America is headed. Political commentator Richard Battle (https://RichardBattle.com) lays out the “three essential legs of the American stool,” asking whether a society can survive once it abandons objective truth, fixed human nature, and individual freedom. What happens when nations replace facts with narratives—and why do some countries collapse while others rebound? Later, activist Sunny Kutcher from Young Americans Against Socialism (https://www.yaas.org/) weighs in on Marxism’s growing influence, unrest in Minnesota, and the justification of chaos in the name of ideology. Are young Americans being taught ideas that history has already proven to fail? The hour closes with pointed commentary on culture, standards, and leadership—raising tough questions about hypocrisy, accountability, and what “presidential” behavior really means in an era of open provocation. This hour doesn’t offer comfort—it offers confrontation. Guest Timestamps * Richard Battle, Political Commentator - 1:18 * Sunny Kutcher, Young Americans Against Socialism - 28:42 HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason dives deep into Colorado politics, energy policy, and the national economic picture. John breaks down what to watch as the 2026 Colorado legislative session begins, questioning what Democrats really mean by “affordable housing” and warning about bills that could override local zoning, reshape neighborhoods, and centralize control at the state level. He also challenges lawmakers pushing artificial intelligence and social media regulations—asking whether state governments even understand the technology they’re trying to regulate. John then pulls back the curtain on the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, naming the commissioners, examining their backgrounds, and explaining why energy prices and mandates continue to rise. Who’s really controlling Colorado’s energy future—and why don’t voters get a say? The hour wraps with a wide-ranging economic conversation featuring Scott Garlis (https://x.com/CScottGarliss), covering Wall Street trends, inflation headlines, Federal Reserve uncertainty, Jerome Powell’s final months, and how markets may react once a new Fed chair is named. Could global shifts in places like Venezuela, Cuba, or Iran unlock massive economic opportunity—and are investors already positioning for it?
