    HR1 From Retirement Risk to Brain Health: One Hour That Connects It All. (2-18-26)

    Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. HOUR 1 Hour 1 of Rush To Reason dives straight into Health and Wellness Wednesday, blending financial clarity, mental resilience, and physical health in a way only John Rush can. Financial expert Al Smith of Golden Eagle Financial (https://goldeneaglefinancialltd.com/) joins the show to unpack a critical question: can AI really guide your retirement and risk planning, or is it dangerously incomplete without human insight? How much risk is right at 50, 60, or 70—and why is “one-size-fits-all” such a trap? The hour then takes a powerful, personal turn as John and Luke Cashman tackle mental health, responsibility, and resilience, sharing real-life experiences about pressure, inherited depression, short fuses, and learning how to manage life’s “dark clouds.” What’s the difference between having a bad day and true clinical depression—and why do these conversations matter more than we admit? Health expert Dr. Julie Gatz of Florida Wellness Institute (https://naturessources.com/dr-julie-gatza/) rounds out the hour with eye-opening insights into aging, digestion, brain health, and nutrition. Why do meals suddenly feel heavier as we age? Are we overfed—but undernourished? And could decades of dietary advice have missed something essential to our hormones and mental clarity? This hour challenges assumptions—and invites listeners to rethink health from the inside out. Guest Timestamps * Al Smith – Golden Eagle Financial: 2:18 * Luke Cashman - Mental Health: 11:21 * Dr. Julie Gatz – Florida Wellness Institute: 30:34 HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason opens with a powerful history lesson as Richard Battle (Https://RichardBattle.com), makes the case for restoring George Washington’s Birthday as a standalone national holiday. Why has America blurred the legacy of its greatest leader—and what do we lose when Washington’s character, sacrifice, and refusal of power are forgotten? Battle explains why Washington remains unmatched. The hour intensifies as Sunny Kutcher of Young Americans Against Socialism (https://yaas.org) joins John Rush for a hard-hitting discussion on free childcare, public education, Marxism, and government overreach. Is “free” ever really free—and who ultimately pays the price? Using New York City as a test case, they break down massive budgets, rising taxes, and political promises that don’t add up. How do fear-based narratives spread so easily, and what happens when facts are ignored? This hour challenges history, culture, and power—and asks listeners to decide where government should stop.

What’s real, what’s flat-out false. The conversation widens into media bias, algorithm-driven news feeds, and the collapse of critical thinking, asking how democracy survives when headlines replace facts. The hour then pivots to aviation safety and merit, as John takes on DEI hiring in the cockpit and reacts to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s warning: competence matters when lives are on the line. Are airlines lowering standards—and should passengers be concerned? Economic reality follows as Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capital (https://www.bentpinecapital.com/) explains why inflation is cooling, inventories are piling up, and why high interest rates—not tariffs—are crushing discretionary spending. The hour closes with sharp cultural commentary—asking one final question: has common sense completely left the building?

    HR1 Mental Health, Violence, and the Cracks in the Cultural Narrative. (2-17-26)

    Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. HOUR 1 Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with urgency and doesn’t let up. John Rush and Andy Peth dive into a Rhode Island shooting that John argues hasn’t been fully scrutinized—and ask why certain details seem to vanish from the national conversation. From there, the discussion expands into mental health, accountability, and whether ideology is replacing honest diagnosis in moments of crisis. A key turning point comes with listener calls that raise uncomfortable but timely questions: What happens when courts, insurance companies, and malpractice risk start driving decisions faster than politics? Could lawsuits—and not legislation—be the real force that changes the system? And why do parents and students feel pressured into silence in schools when they disagree? The hour also pivots to real-world danger closer to home, as deadly wind-driven accidents on Colorado highways highlight how denial of weather, risk, or reality—can turn tragic fast. By the end of the hour, John challenges listeners on both sides of the aisle: are we willing to confront hard truths, or will we keep blaming tools instead of addressing the people and systems failing in plain sight? HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason zeroes in on power, accountability, and who really controls the system. John Rush and Andy Peth are joined by Mark Mix of the National Right to Work Committee (https://nrtwc.org/), who breaks down why Virginia’s move to expand public-sector union power could have sweeping consequences nationwide. From rising taxpayer costs to unions acting as unelected power brokers, Mark explains why government unions are fundamentally different from private ones—and why voters often have no real leverage. The hour then pivots to election integrity as Priscilla Rahn joins the conversation to walk listeners through the SAVE Act. She tackles claims that voter ID laws suppress women and minorities, explains what the bill actually requires, and argues that restoring trust—not restricting access—is the real goal. The discussion widens to messaging failures, young voter confusion, and why fear-based narratives may be driving people away from the ballot box altogether. If confidence in elections is broken, can participation survive—and who benefits when voters stay home? Guest Timestamps * Mark Mix (National Right to Work Committee) — 1:10 * Priscilla Rahn (KLTT Radio Host) — 44:40 HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason opens with a sharp clash over gun rights, mental illness, and constitutional limits, as John Rush and Andy Peth respond to listener pushback and challenge what they see as selective logic on public safety and freedom. From there, the hour pivots into a bold defense of the two-party system, arguing that fragmentation and “purity politics” weaken conservatives while collectivists consolidate power. Drawing on examples from Europe, Israel, and Colorado, John explains why fewer choices can actually protect individual liberty. The conversation then shifts to Colorado legislation that could legalize prostitution statewide, sparking an unusually nuanced debate. John and Andy weigh personal liberty against cultural fallout, marriage stability, addiction, public health, and how law-enforcement resources are really being used. A call from Andrew in Greeley adds another layer—raising questions about taxpayer responsibility and unintended consequences. Are conservatives fighting this issue with the wrong arguments? And when one side controls every lever of power, does the debate even matter anymore?

    Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text 307-200-8222 Monday – Friday from 3 pm – 6 pm MT HOUR 1 Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with a sobering and deeply personal discussion following the tragic plane crash near Steamboat Springs involving automotive industry leader Aaron Stokes. John Rush and Jerzee Joe, an experienced pilot, explain why this flight represented a near worst-case scenario—nighttime conditions, instrument weather, mountain terrain, and a notoriously unforgiving airport. What turns a flight into a clear “no-go,” and how does pressure push even experienced pilots toward dangerous decisions? The conversation expands into aviation judgment, “get-there-itis,” and why impatience can be deadly in the air or on the road. John then pivots to Colorado realities, including high winds, power shutoffs, and why being prepared for 24 hours without electricity is simple common sense. The hour closes with a thoughtful debate on Broomfield’s proposed RV parking ordinance. Is it government overreach—or a necessary step to protect neighborhoods and property values while balancing compassion? Where does responsibility meet regulation? Guest Timestamps • Jerzee Joe – 13:46 HOUR 2 Hour 2 delivers a fast-moving mix of culture, policy, and performance as Ann Schlafly of Eagle Forum (https://eagleforum.org) joins John to react to a surprising shift from the New York Times on marijuana legalization. Have the risks of high-THC marijuana been ignored for too long? Ann explains why today’s cannabis is far more potent—and dangerous—than what existed decades ago. John then answers listener questions about marijuana crossing state lines and whether law enforcement cooperation is unconstitutional or simply the reality of states’ rights. That theme of accountability continues with a pointed discussion on toll evasion, obscured license plates, and expired tags. The hour lightens with Richard Rush, covering Michael Jordan’s Daytona 500 win, whether NASCAR needs a reboot, and standout moments from the Winter Olympics. Hour 2 wraps with car reviews of the 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo and the 2026 Lexus NX 350h F Sport AWD. Guest Timestamps • Ann Schlafly – Eagle Forum – 1:10 • Richard Rush – 26:39 HOUR 3 Hour 3 dives into national security as Ammon Blair of the Texas Public Policy Foundation (https://www.texaspolicy.com) joins John Rush to explain what really happened behind the FAA shutdown near El Paso and New Mexico. Was it just a balloon—or a warning sign? Ammon details how Mexican cartels are now using advanced drone warfare tactics learned from Ukraine, exposing major blind spots along the southern border and even near U.S. military installations. The hour continues with callers weighing in on aviation safety, unrest in Iran, and the human cost rarely seen in headlines. John then challenges climate-alarm narratives tied to Trump policy reversals, questioning multibillion-dollar cost projections for Colorado. The show closes with a hard look at the everyday consequences of progressive policy—from rising vehicle costs driven by federal mandates to Denver’s controversial bike lanes. Are these changes improving life—or making it harder for the people who live and drive here? Guest Timestamps • Ammon Blair – Texas Public Policy Foundation – 1:16
