    HR1 Dr. Kelly: The Politics of Fear & the Business of Addiction. The Cost of Convenience. (6-11-26)

    Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222. Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. https://RushToReason.com HOUR 1 The show kicks off with an explosive discussion as John Rush, Dr. Kelly Victory, and Steve House dig deep into the burning questions of our era: Who will answer for the sweeping decisions of the COVID years? What really happened behind the scenes, and can Americans ever trust their institutions again? This hour is a rollercoaster through the headlines—debating election integrity, government accountability, and the dramatic erosion of public trust. But it doesn't stop there. Get the inside scoop on bizarre health scares like the flesh-eating screw worm, and peel back the curtain on media-fueled fear versus reality. Are you being informed—or manipulated? Wrap up with a jaw-dropping look at how Big Tobacco’s marketing playbook took over the modern food industry. Discover the shocking links between addiction, ultra-processed foods, skyrocketing healthcare costs, and the ongoing battle between personal freedom and government regulation. This hour is provocative, fast-paced, and guaranteed to make you question the forces shaping your daily choices. Dr. Kelly Victory https://www.rushtoreason.com/dr-kelly-victory-2/ HOUR 2 Get ready for an emotional and intellectual ride. Hour 2 opens with author Ron Nelson (1:09), who shares his raw, inspiring story from his book "Engraved: The Upbringing of a Caregiver." Dive into the heart of caregiving—love, loss, sacrifice, and the mental fortitude it takes to keep going when the world feels heavy. If you’ve ever cared for someone, this segment hits home. The energy pivots as John Rush unpacks today’s foreign policy flashpoints, including Iran and President Trump, inviting passionate callers to weigh in on America’s toughest decisions—diplomacy, military might, and the high-stakes chess game of national security. Historian Peter Onuf (32:44) then joins for a riveting conversation about his book "Thomas Jefferson Survives." He shatters myths of American unity, revealing the chaos and controversy that defined our nation’s founding. What can we learn from Jefferson’s era about surviving division and defending democracy? This hour will challenge what you thought you knew about resilience, citizenship, and the American spirit.

But that’s just the start: From healthcare shakeups and election controversies to the wild world of Bitcoin, AI, and shadowy foreign influence, every topic is on the table. Joe exposes how even well-intentioned policies can spiral out of control, reshaping business, technology, and your everyday life. Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capital jumps in to break down Wall Street’s latest moves, surging tech IPOs, and the historic wealth explosion in today’s markets.

From SpaceX and Elon Musk’s global impact to America’s high-stakes tech rivalry with China, the panel explores how innovation, geopolitics, and economic policy are crashing together. Can the U.S. stay ahead in AI, energy, and security—or is it falling behind? The hour delivers rapid-fire insights on everything from inflation and housing to Denver’s quest to turn empty offices into homes, all while spotlighting the urgent choices shaping America’s future. HOUR 2 The battle for Colorado’s governor heats up as John Rush and Andy Peth dissect the Republican debate with unflinching candor. Who can actually win in a changing Colorado? The hosts cut through the hype, analyzing candidate performance, voter appeal, and the outsized role of independents. The discussion uncovers the real stakes for the GOP: unity versus purity, media scrutiny, and the high-wire act needed to win statewide in a purple state. Expect sharp analysis and tough questions about what it truly takes to win. HOUR 3 The final hour packs a punch with a deep dive into climate controversies and Colorado GOP drama. Gregory Wrightstone joins to challenge climate orthodoxy and debate the science, economics, and politics of carbon and energy. Then, the show shifts gears to the ongoing civil war inside Colorado’s Republican Party—leadership shakeups, factional infighting, and the quest for unity versus accountability. It’s a whirlwind of hard-hitting analysis on policy, party power struggles, and what it will take to move forward. Guest Timestamps 1:08 — Gregory Wrightstone — https://co2coalition.org
