Hour 1 of RushToReason.com launches into Health & Wellness Wednesday with energy, humor, and hard-earned wisdom. Attorney Michael Bailey (michaelbaileylawllc.com) joins John Rush to unpack the hidden urgency of end-of-year planning. Why do families wait until tragedy strikes before putting vital documents in place? And how much chaos, stress, and financial strain could be avoided with one simple phone call? Michael reveals the timelines, the pitfalls, and the holiday-season crunch most people never see coming—until it’s too late.
Then lifestyle creator Shanisty Ireland (shesbecomingdomestic.com) steps in with Thanksgiving survival tactics. Want to know the freezer-friendly casseroles that save hours? The one thawing mistake that can ruin your turkey? Shanisty shares time-saving tricks, kid-friendly dishes that turn a stressful holiday into a joyful one.
Finally, wellness expert Julie E. (julieehealth.com)enters with a surprise topic: scar tissue as an overlooked root cause of chronic health struggles. Could those “old dents” in the body silently drain your energy and disrupt hormones?
Hour 1 ends with questions you didn’t even know you needed to ask—setting up a compelling deep-dive into hidden health truths.
HOUR 2
Hour 2 of Rush to Reason opens with author and leadership expert Richard Battle (RichardBattle.com), who reveals a surprising source of wisdom: the childhood song Old MacDonald Had a Farm. Could the familiar E-I-E-I-O actually contain timeless leadership secrets about example, instruction, inspiration, and optimism? Richard shows how these simple principles can rebuild teams, restore vision, and expose the insecurity that keeps modern leaders stuck.
From there, the show pivots into breaking news and online frenzy as John Rush unpacks the mysterious lights seen over Colorado. Were they UFOs? A secret government test? Or something far more ordinary? John exposes how quickly conspiracies grow—and why AI-generated videos and fabricated content make truth harder to spot than ever.
Finally, Sonny Kutcher of Young Americans Against Socialism (www.yaas.org/ ) joins John to break down a razor-thin 5–4 Supreme Court decision granting President Trump sweeping authority to target cartel members as foreign terrorist organizations. Is this a turning point in the border crisis—or the beginning of a political earthquake?
Hour 2 blends leadership insight, cultural tension, and breaking-news urgency into a sharp, energizing hour of radio you won’t want to miss.
HOUR 3
Hour 3 of Rush to Reason opens with John reflecting on more than a decade behind the mic—and the nonstop learning that comes with it. But the hour quickly pivots to a hard look at Colorado’s Front Range, fueled by listener messages pouring in about $2.29 Costco top-tier gas, public-school frustrations, and an explosive question: Why is Denver no longer one of America’s most desirable cities to move to?
John dives headfirst into the region’s homelessness surge, criticizing weak leadership and policies that make life easier for those choosing the streets and harder for everyone else. Is homelessness now spreading from Denver into Castle Rock, Cheyenne, and every once-quiet suburb in between? And is failed governance—not economics—driving families and businesses away?
The hour then shifts gears as Wall Street strategist Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capital (x.com/CScottGarliss) joins the show. Together, they unpack a jittery week on Wall Street: Michael Burry’s harsh warnings about AI stocks, fears over rising car-loan defaults, and the Fed’s looming interest-rate decisions. But with Nvidia’s blowout earnings, is AI truly inflated hype—or a genuine revolution reshaping the economy?
Hour 3 mixes economic intrigue, political fire, and real-world concerns into a fast-moving, thought-provoking conversation you won’t want to miss.
