Hour 1 of Rush to Reason opens with urgency and conviction as host John Rush frames a world in rapid transition—economically, politically, and geopolitically. Joined by Jordan Goodman, known as “America’s Money Answers Man,” the discussion dives into inflation, interest rates, oil prices, and whether Federal Reserve policy is shaping outcomes by design rather than data. Are tariffs an economic burden—or a strategic weapon tied directly to national defense and foreign policy?

The conversation widens to global power shifts: unrest in Iran, the fallout from Venezuela, Russia’s shrinking leverage, and China’s response as alliances wobble. What happens if the BRICS nations succeed in bypassing the U.S. dollar—and how would 100% tariffs reshape the global economy overnight? Jordan breaks down why parts of the U.S. economy appear to be booming while others struggle, pointing to artificial intelligence, data centers, and soaring gold prices as clues to what’s really happening beneath the surface.

With a Supreme Court ruling looming, this hour asks a critical question: are we witnessing routine economic turbulence—or the opening moves of a much larger financial and geopolitical showdown?

HOUR 2

Hour 2 of Rush to Reason accelerates the urgency as John and Andy tackle two explosive questions: what happens after Iran’s current regime collapses, and when do states’ rights end and national security begin? The hour opens with a hard look at Iran’s unrest, the possibility of the Shah’s son returning, and whether chaos could still lead to a freer, Western-leaning nation. Callers with personal ties to Iran add a raw perspective, asking if this moment is the best chance in decades for real change.

The conversation then pivots sharply to energy, arguing that green policies in California and Canada aren’t just local experiments—but national security risks. If refinery shutdowns, fuel-blend mandates, and blocked oil development drive up costs across state lines and threaten military readiness, should Washington intervene? The hosts challenge the limits of states’ rights, comparing energy policy to voter integrity, fraud, and interstate harm. Is environmental ideology quietly destabilizing the economy—and how long can the federal government afford to look the other way?

HOUR 3

Hour 3 of Rush to Reason sharpens the focus on media bias, public trust, and government overreach as John and Andy tackle some of the day’s most contentious narratives. The hour features a key guest, Christine Czernejewski , President and CEO of Mediapedia (https://mediapedia.org/), who breaks down how legacy media shaped early coverage of a Minnesota ICE shooting—highlighting omitted facts, selective imagery, and why journalists often rush to a predetermined storyline. How much context is being left out—and who decides what the public sees first? The discussion intensifies as callers and hosts dissect the incident itself, challenging claims of innocence and questioning why key details were ignored.

From there, the hour pivots to local and federal power: a controversial Cheyenne ordinance that could allow warrant-based property entry for code enforcement, and whether such authority becomes a political weapon.

The hour closes with a hard look at federal spending priorities—debating when Washington should step in, when it shouldn’t, and why misuse of taxpayer dollars fuels public distrust.

Are we losing honest journalism and accountable government at the same time?

Hour 1 of Rush To Reason sets a fiery tone as John Rush dives headfirst into accountability, federal authority, and political narratives shaping today’s headlines. What happens when local governments attempt to challenge federal immigration law—and do those efforts actually hold up? John breaks down recent ICE-related controversies, questions emotionally charged media framing, and argues that city ordinances aimed at limiting federal enforcement are more symbolic than substantive.

The conversation expands beyond immigration into the role of consequences in law enforcement, the limits of municipal power, and why federal law cannot become a patchwork of local rules. John also weighs in on foreign policy claims, pushing back on accusations of recklessness and asking whether decisive action can actually prevent larger conflicts. The hour closes with a critical look at federal spending, state responsibility, and a high-profile veto involving Colorado water projects. Is this about compassion, control, or constitutional reality? If you want sharp analysis, unapologetic opinions, and questions the mainstream avoids, this hour delivers.

HOUR 2

Hour 2 of Rush To Reason ramps up with John Rush joined by Larry Behrens (https://www.powerthefuture.com) for a deep dive into Venezuela, oil, and national security. Is it really “just about oil,” or is energy the pressure point reshaping global power? Larry explains how black-market oil has strengthened adversaries like China, Russia, and Iran—and why lower oil prices quietly squeeze Vladimir Putin while helping American families at the pump.

John then pivots to geopolitics, questioning whether the idea of the U.S. acquiring Greenland is political theater or a serious strategic move tied to shipping lanes, minerals, and Arctic defense. Who benefits if America doesn’t act—China, Russia, or someone else?

The hour shifts gears into NFL playoff analysis with Richard Rush, breaking down the sports calendar and whether the Broncos have what it takes to win in a high-pressure matchup. The hour wraps with a fast-paced review of the 2026 Mazda CX-50 and candid sports media talk. Big ideas, high stakes, and plenty to debate.

HOUR 3

Hour 3 of Rush To Reason opens with a powerful conversation between John Rush and Alvin Lui (https://courageisahabit.org), tackling parental rights, gender ideology, and the role of schools and government. Why are parents being sidelined in decisions about their own children—and what happens when institutions cross that line? Alvin shares why he’s in Washington, D.C., supporting Supreme Court cases to keep men out of women’s sports, and why legal victories still require parents to stay engaged.

The hour then pivots to energy and global power as Daniel Turner (https://www.powerthefuture.com) joins John to explain why falling energy prices matter far beyond the gas pump. How does American energy dominance calm inflation, weaken adversaries, and stabilize the economy?

Finally, John highlights major local economic news: Aldi is planning a significant expansion into Colorado. Is more competition exactly what Colorado families need right now? From culture to courts to energy and everyday costs, this hour delivers big ideas with real-world impact.

Hour 1 brings a triple-feature as Andy Peth breaks down three very different films, asking the question every moviegoer wants answered: What’s actually worth my time right now?

Andy starts with Is This Thing On?, a mature dramedy about divorce, identity, and using humor to survive emotional collapse. He praises the performances and realistic tone, but the film lacks in other areas, landing at ⭐ 3 stars overall.

Next is Greenland 2: Migration, where survival replaces shock in a meteor-ravaged world. Andy likes Gerard Butler’s grounded hero and one standout suspense scene, but criticizes weak pacing and other movie blunders, giving it ⭐ 2.5 stars.

Finally, things turn brutal with Primate, a relentless creature feature about a rabid primate on a killing spree. Andy calls it terrifying, expertly directed, and ... —earning ⭐ 3.5 stars, with some horror fans likely rating it even higher.

Find out which film surprised Andy the most, which one pushes things too far, and which might be January’s most unsettling watch?

Curious how each film scores on Quality, Political, and Moral/Religious impact? Listen to the Rush To Reason podcast now for Andy's full ratings and in-depth analysis. Don't miss out—tune in today!

HOUR 2

Hour 2 fires off with bold NFL playoff predictions, as Andy Peth, Richard Rush, and John Rush break down this weekend’s matchups with zero sugarcoating. Which teams are overrated?

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

Hour 2 of Rush To Reason intensifies as John is joined by author and commentator Drew Allen (https://x.com/DrewThomasAllen), Author of For Christ and Country: the Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk, who speaks openly about political violence and cultural radicalization. Drew reflects on the national reaction to Charlie’s death, questioning why violence is selectively condemned—or sometimes celebrated—by ideology. He asks listeners to consider why discussions about transgenderism, mental health, accountability, and extremism are silenced when they clash with progressive narratives. What happens when truth becomes dangerous to express?

Later in the hour, John is joined by Jim Paff, President of The Conservative Caucus (https://theconservativecaucus.com/), for a wide-ranging geopolitical deep dive. Jim breaks down U.S. actions in Venezuela, explaining why this moment is legally grounded, strategically different from past interventions, and deeply tied to countering China and Russia’s influence in the Western Hemisphere. Is this really about oil—or about restoring stability, freedom, and American leverage closer to home?

The hour closes by tying foreign policy to domestic unrest and questioning media narratives about ICE enforcement, paid protests, and failures of political leadership. Are these isolated incidents—or pieces of a much larger puzzle?

HOUR 3

Hour 3 opens with John Rush and Jerzee Joe ( https://www.jerzeejoe.com/) discussing legacy, leadership, and why character matters more than titles. The hour quickly pivots into high-stakes geopolitics, as Joe breaks down Venezuela, explaining why Nicolás Maduro is not viewed as a legitimate leader and why U.S. action is being mislabeled as “regime change.” Are Americans being misled by selective language and media framing?

The focus then turns domestic, exposing government fraud schemes tied to daycare and SNAP programs, and calling out political hypocrisy in major U.S. cities. As the conversation shifts forward, Joe raises a sobering question: Which jobs are about to disappear as humanoid robots and AI reshape the workforce—and which careers are about to explode?

In the final stretch, Scott Garliss (https://x.com/CScottGarliss) joins John to unpack economic data that contradicts years of dire predictions. They examine tariffs, inflation, productivity gains, and why AI may be more like the railroad or Model T—disruptive at first, but transformative in the long run, and is the economy stronger than the experts admit?
