Andy Peth fills in for John Rush on the final show of https://RushToReason.com 2025, joined by Ashley Carter, setting the tone with sharp humor, cultural commentary, and big-picture questions about the year that was. What were the biggest stories of 2025—and which ones are still shaping the future right now? As the conversation warms up, Andy challenges how people consume news, satire, and so-called “fact checks,” asking whether critical thinking has quietly disappeared in the internet age. Add in some much-needed laughter from stand-up comedian Brian Kiley, and Hour 1 becomes a fast-moving mix of humor, skepticism, and reflection. Which headlines really mattered this year—and did we miss the warning signs along the way?

HOUR 2

Lights up, curtain rises—Hour 2 turns into a cinematic rollercoaster as Andy breaks down the best, worst, and most surprising movies of 2025. Which films delivered knockout performances and unexpected brilliance? Which ones looked promising… only to completely fall apart? From standout surprises like Weapons and Karate Kid: Legends, to baffling misfires that left audiences shaking their heads, Andy pulls no punches.

Who earned Best Actor and Best Actress honors—and were there performances that didn’t get the credit they deserved? Which highly anticipated releases became the year’s biggest letdowns? And which films crossed the line into “needlessly woke,” distracting from story and substance?

If you want to know which movies are worth your time—and which ones to avoid at all costs—this is the ultimate year-end movie verdict. Buckle up… this is movie talk with teeth. 🎬🍿

Guest host Andy Peth steps in for John Rush on https://RushToReason.com. and Luke Cashman joins him. They set the tone with humor, then pivot to the most controversial issues shaping America today. What do crime statistics say about gun ownership? Why do attackers target "gun-free zones"? As Andy and Luke clash and converge, the conversation moves past slogans. They discuss culture, deterrence, mental health, and personal responsibility.

Listeners are challenged to reconsider widely accepted narratives. Real-world examples and historical comparisons raise uncomfortable questions. Do limiting tools stop violence, or just change its method? Is freedom a risk, or does it make society safer? The hour shifts into a bigger debate on liberty, touching on fear, control, and why younger generations may be uneasy with others' freedoms.

With sharp analysis, satire, and blunt honesty, Hour 1 sets the stage. It offers a deeper look at crime trends, civil liberties, and the values behind America’s debates. Are we solving problems, or just avoiding the real ones?

HOUR 2

Andy Peth and Luke continue in hour 2 for a fast-moving, high-stakes conversation that spans economics, culture, faith, and policy. Starting with a blunt reassessment of Donald Trump’s economic strategy, challenging dire predictions of tariffs and inflation while highlighting wage growth, energy policy, and stark cost-of-living differences between red and blue states. Is an economic boom ahead—and why don’t people feel it yet?

The conversation then pivots to one of the country's biggest identity questions: Is America still a Christian nation? Andy and Luke explore Christianity not as a forced belief, but as a system built on choice, reward, and consequence, finding unexpected common ground despite different worldviews.

The hour closes with a sharp cultural turn—questioning Hollywood’s direction, the politics of “woke” entertainment, and the ethics and cost of gender-affirming medical procedures for minors. Should children be making irreversible decisions? And how do economics, ideology, and compassion collide? Hour 2 challenges assumptions and dares listeners to rethink the narratives driving today’s debates.

HOUR 3

Andy Peth teams up with Jerzee Joe for a gripping third hour that asks some of the most uncomfortable questions facing America right now. Is the country truly abandoning Christianity? As shocking statistics reveal how fast religious affiliation and church attendance are collapsing, the discussion challenges listeners to ask why—and what replaces faith when belief disappears.

The hour then turns toward truth itself. In an age of viral clips and artificial intelligence, how much of what we “know” is actually real? From misleading tax claims to fake AI-generated videos, Andy and Joe warn that confirmation bias may be doing more damage than political opponents ever could. Are Americans being deceived—or willingly deceiving themselves?

As the tension builds, even voices from the left begin sounding alarms. When commentators like Bill Maher start questioning socialism, public media, and government narratives, does it signal a cultural turning point—or panic? The hour closes with explosive allegations of massive fraud in Minnesota uncovered by independent journalist Nick Shirley. If one YouTuber can find it, why didn’t the state? And when voters step into the booth, will accountability finally matter—or will loyalty win again?

On https://rushtoreason.com, guest host Andy Peth fills in for John Rush and is joined by Tanner Coleman. Together, they deliver a fast-paced, unapologetic Hour 1. The pair set the tone for a no-nonsense conversation about culture, leadership, and values. As the year winds down, the discussion starts with humor and reflection. Then, they focus on California’s political direction—new laws, wildfire mismanagement, and what critics call a growing gap between common sense and governance.

The hour then sharpens its focus on border security, patriotism, and race. The hosts push back against claims from Los Angeles leadership about Hispanic Border Patrol agents. Are these men and women motivated by money, or by love of country and respect for the rule of law? Using real quotes, vivid analogies, and pointed questions, Andy and Tanner challenge listeners. They urge the audience to reconsider media narratives and the real-world consequences of mass illegal immigration.

The conversation shifts again. This time, it moves to culture and morality. Humor explores a serious question: do we still teach why things are wrong, or just warn of consequences? That thread sets up the next topics: wealth, taxes, voting, and whether “fairness” quietly replaced personal responsibility.

HOUR 2

Andy returns for a hard-hitting Hour 2 alongside Tanner, opening with an intense deep dive into the massive Minnesota fraud scandal tied to COVID-era programs. How did billions in taxpayer dollars allegedly vanish—and why were whistleblowers ignored or silenced? Andy and Tanner argue this wasn’t just a bureaucratic failure, but a political one, repeatedly questioning the role of Tim Walz and asking how accountability might look if a different political movement were involved.

Mid-hour, the tone shifts as Richard Rush joins the show, bringing weekly NFL picks, playoff implications, and late-season drama. Which teams are collapsing at the worst possible time—and which quarterbacks are carrying franchises on their backs? From draft positioning to coaching courage, the sports conversation mirrors the political theme: leadership matters, mindset matters, and excuses only go so far.

Blending sharp analysis, dark humor, and rapid-fire debate, Hour 2 challenges listeners to question media narratives, political double standards, and even how success—or failure—is measured, whether in government or on the field.

HOUR 3

Andy Peth and Tanner return for a politically charged Hour 3 with special guest Eli Bremer, taking a hard look at the future of Republican politics in Colorado and beyond. What happens when party unity breaks down—and who pays the price when candidates prioritize personal brand over winning elections?

The hour opens with a candid discussion about internal GOP fractures, performative politics, and the fallout surrounding Marjorie Taylor Greene, raising tough questions about loyalty, teamwork, and governing with slim majorities. The conversation then shifts to Colorado, where Eli walks through the importance of vetting candidates in competitive districts like CD8 and CD3, highlighting incumbents Gabe Evans and Jeff Hurd—and warning how fringe challengers can jeopardize winnable seats.

The hour crescendos with a blunt assessment of Joe Altman's newly announced gubernatorial run, exploring how extreme rhetoric and unchecked behavior can turn a difficult race into a political disaster. The message is clear: in a purple state, credibility, discipline, and strategy matter—or the consequences will be severe.

Friday means 5-Star Movie Reviews, and Andy Peth doesn’t pull any punches. Joined by co-hosts Luke and Ashley, Andy dives deep into two very different films—asking the question every moviegoer wants answered: Is this worth my time?

Andy opens with Marty Supreme, a performance-driven drama anchored by Timothée Chalamet. While Andy praises Chalamet’s acting as elite—possibly among the year’s best—he calls the film exhausting, overly long, and emotionally draining. His verdict? 2.5 stars overall, with a strong performance buried inside a movie many viewers may find frustrating or boring. Is great acting enough if you don’t enjoy the story?

Next up is Anaconda, a comedic adventure starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black. Andy appreciates the cast, the shorter runtime, and a handful of funny moments—but says the script, humor, and pacing fall short. His final score: 1.5 stars for quality, calling it watchable but forgettable.

Which movie divides audiences the most? Which one sounds like a total miss—or a guilty curiosity? Andy breaks it down so you don’t waste your movie night.

Marty Supreme - Review begins at 17:39

* ⭐ Quality: ⭐⭐½

(Andy’s personal take: ⭐½)

HOUR 2

What really makes a comedy work—and why do some jokes land for one person but fall flat for another? In Hour 2 of Rush To Reason, Andy, with Luke and Ashley, dives headfirst into a fast, funny, and opinionated tour of favorite comedy movies spanning generations and styles.

Andy celebrates razor-sharp deadpan and parody with classics like The Naked Gun 2½ and Airplane!, praising Leslie Nielsen’s unmatched delivery. The conversation shifts from endlessly quotable cult hits like Super Troopers to genre-bending laughs in Deadpool and mockumentary brilliance in This Is Spinal Tap.

Andy also highlights broad, over-the-top comedy with Austin Powers, animated favorites like The Lego Batman Movie and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and unforgettable physical comedy from Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

No star ratings are handed out this hour—but strong opinions absolutely are. Do “dumb” comedies require real genius? Are smart comedies actually harder to pull off? If movies you quote for life matter to you, this hour is pure fun, packed with laughs, nostalgia, and spirited debate.
