HOUR 1

Hour 1 of https"//Rush-To-Reason.com opens with John Rush challenging listeners to question authority, narratives, and so-called “expert consensus.” Joined by Dr. Kelly Victory, the hour dives into medical censorship, Big Pharma influence, and why independent voices matter more than ever after COVID. Who’s really funding the studies, the media, and the treatments—and how does that shape what patients are told?

The conversation turns sharply to the ethics of modern medicine, from gender-transition procedures for minors to the financial incentives driving life-altering decisions. Dr. Kelly lays out why vulnerable adolescents need counseling and care—not irreversible interventions—and highlights growing legal and medical fallout. The discussion then pivots to health autonomy: peptides, GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, risks of muscle loss, and why lifestyle change—not miracle injections—is the real key to long-term health.

The hour wraps with a candid look at supplements, parasites, ivermectin, and personalized medicine. Do you need to fully understand why something works—or is safety, results, and individual response what really matters? If you care about truth, health freedom, and asking the uncomfortable questions, this hour is a must-listen.

HOUR 2

Hour 2 of Rush To Reason dives straight into election integrity, political hypocrisy, and the growing divide between narrative and reality. John Rush is joined by Josh Finlay, Director of the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s National Election Protection Project (https://www.texaspolicy.com/election-protection-project), to break down why voter ID has become a mainstream issue—with overwhelming support across race and party lines. If ID is required for everyday life, why is voting treated differently?

The hour then pivots to street-level protests and ICE enforcement, as John challenges listeners to confront the irony of activists setting up neighborhood roadblocks while opposing national border security. From there, the show takes a sharp turn into media literacy and credibility, dissecting viral claims, emotional fundraising, and how easily facts get ignored when they don’t fit a preferred story.

The final stretch opens the phones, tackling frustration inside the conservative movement—from Trump’s messaging style and endorsements to midterm strategy, turnout, and Colorado’s looming tax battles. Is the real threat coming from the other side—or from within? And what happens when voters stop thinking critically and start believing whatever they’re told?

HOUR 3

Hour 3 of Rush To Reason delivers a fast-paced deep dive into culture, credibility, and consequences—starting with Jerzee Joe (https://www.jerzeejoe.com) challenging the narrative around voter ID. Citing polling, street interviews, and Thomas Sowell’s “soft bigotry of low expectations,” Joe argues the issue isn’t race—it’s standards. The hour then pivots to education and policy failures, from colleges graduating students who can’t read at an eighth-grade level to electric school bus programs collapsing under real-world conditions.

The conversation turns explosive with allegations involving public officials and questionable financial disclosures, raising serious questions about accountability and corruption. From there, John is joined by Scott Garliss ( https://x.com/CScottGarliss) to break down turbulence in crypto, precious metals, and markets—unpacking Fed uncertainty, margin calls, and why panic headlines often miss the bigger picture. The hour closes by calling out clickbait economics, AI fearmongering, and local policies that raise costs while preaching “affordability.” Are ideology and emotion replacing math, timelines, and common sense?

HOUR 1

Hour 1 of Rush To Reason opens with a hard-hitting Health & Wellness Wednesday, guest-hosted by Dr. Scott Faulkner (https://castlerockregenerativehealth.com), alongside biohacker Jeremy Sova. This hour challenges the idea that decline is inevitable, asking a blunt question: What if fatigue, brain fog, and aging symptoms are signals—not sentences?

Dr. Faulkner pulls back the curtain on credibility in modern medicine, why accountability matters, and how patient-first care has been lost in a system obsessed with protocols over people. The conversation moves from heart disease prevention to cutting-edge diagnostics, exposing why “treat after disaster” thinking may be failing patients.

The hour then pivots to mitochondria—the cellular power source behind energy, cognition, and resilience. In plain English, they explain why damaged mitochondria lead to low energy and why inflammation accelerates the decline. Listeners get a preview of practical, low-cost steps to rebuild cellular power, break fitness plateaus, and reclaim mental clarity. Is aging really unavoidable—or have we been ignoring the real levers of longevity?

HOUR 2

Hour 2 of Rush To Reason dives deep into preventive medicine, data-driven health, and personal accountability with Dr. Scott and biohacker Jeremy Sova. This hour challenges the medical status quo by asking a simple yet uncomfortable question: What if the biggest risks to your health aren’t showing up on standard tests?

The conversation spans omega-3 optimization, cholesterol particle size, hormones, bone density, and why “normal labs” can still hide serious danger. The centerpiece is AI-assisted CT angiography, revealing how soft plaque—often invisible on calcium scores—can quietly lead to catastrophic heart events. A powerful listener call brings the science to life, showing how early detection can literally save lives.

Dr. Faulkner also pulls back the curtain on why modern healthcare feels rushed and impersonal, tracing it to corporate medicine, electronic records, and the loss of doctor-patient relationships. This hour isn’t about fear—it’s about clarity, courage, and reclaiming control. Are you managing your health—or just hoping nothing breaks?

HOUR 3

Hour 3 pushes listeners to the edge of what’s possible in regenerative and longevity medicine with Dr. Scott Faulkner and biohacker Jeremy Sova. The hour opens with reflection on family, faith, and time—then pivots sharply into a crash course on stem cells, separating real science from dangerous hype. What’s the difference between embryonic, bone-marrow, fat-derived, and umbilical-cord stem cells—and why does sourcing and regulation matter?

From there, the discussion accelerates into global breakthroughs, including reports from Japan and Germany showing dramatic progress in spinal cord injury and early Alzheimer’s disease. The hour stacks next-gen therapies—stem cells, plasmapheresis (therapeutic plasma exchange), and hyperbaric oxygen therapy—and explains how they may work together to extend healthspan, reduce inflammation, and even reverse markers of aging, such as telomere shortening. The final segment tees up a major reckoning in women’s health, revisiting hormone replacement therapy and decades of fear driven by flawed studies. Is medicine finally shifting from managing decline to preventing it?

HOUR 1

Hour 1 of Rush To Reason opens with signature intensity as John Rush and Andy Peth challenge listeners to question narratives shaping today’s culture. From mad cow disease and prion science to a fiery discussion on ICE protests, paid activism, and law enforcement, the hour asks a provocative question: how do you talk to family members—especially younger ones—when politics turns personal and divisive? The conversation digs into freedom vs. force, the rule of law, and why enforcement is being reframed as oppression.

Mid-hour, the spotlight shifts to pop culture colliding with politics as Andy reviews Melania. Set during the 20 days leading up to Donald Trump’s second inauguration, the film is portrayed as a quiet, meticulous character study of Melania Trump—elegant, disciplined, emotionally reserved, and fiercely self-controlled. Andy contrasts glowing audience reactions with hostile critic reviews, raising a bigger question: is the backlash about filmmaking—or ideology?

Fast-paced, provocative, and cinematic, Hour 1 feels less like talk radio and more like a trailer for the cultural battles shaping America right now.

HOUR 2

Hour 2 of Rush To Reason shifts from commentary to strategy as John and Andy tackle one of the hardest questions facing families today: how do you talk to young people about ICE, immigration, and America without blowing up the relationship? The hour lays out a counterintuitive approach—don’t try to win the argument. Instead, praise motives first, disengage from social-media noise, and open the door to critical thinking.

From “stolen land” claims to visa overstays, borders, and accusations of racism, John and Andy use everyday analogies—locking doors, protecting cars, drawing personal boundaries—to reframe the issue around responsibility, order, and fairness. History enters the conversation as they argue slavery didn’t define America—it ended here—while modern slavery still thrives elsewhere. A caller, Conrad, adds a personal immigration story that underscores assimilation, unity, and shared civic culture.

Fast-moving, practical, and provocative, this hour asks a powerful question: what if the real goal isn’t winning debates—but changing hearts?

HOUR 3

Hour 3 of Rush To Reason delivers a hard-nosed reality check on Colorado politics, business, and culture. John opens the hour with Michael Smith from the National Federation of Independent Business (https://www.nfib.com/), warning that the upcoming Colorado legislative session is stacked against small businesses. From renewed efforts to weaken the Labor Peace Act to growing regulations and fees, Michael explains why NFIB is once again playing defense—and why forced union dues should concern every worker, not just business owners.

The hour then pivots sharply into culture and politics. John and Andy revisit the discussion of the Melania movie, calling out media narratives, propaganda, and the dangers of “Google-as-a-source” thinking. From there, the conversation turns blunt as they break down Colorado’s political math, challenging conservatives to stop confusing ideological agreement with electability. Can a deep-red candidate really win statewide in a deep-blue state? Or is Colorado’s future being sacrificed for purity tests?

Provocative, data-driven, and unapologetically direct, Hour 3 asks the question few want to confront: Do you actually want to win?

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.

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?

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.
