    HR1 AI Gold Rush, College Chaos, and America’s Next Workforce Revolution. (8-11-26)

    Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text 307-200-8222. Monday-Friday, 3 pm-6 pm MT. https://RushToReason.com HOUR 1 AI Gold Rush, College Chaos, and America’s Next Workforce Revolution. Step inside the AI gold rush, where billions flood into data centers, and the scramble for electricity, water, and infrastructure ignites fierce political battles. John Rush, Andy Peth, and America’s Money Answer Man Jordan Goodman unpack how this tech arms race with China could transform how Americans work, invest, and compete. From robots in farming to the future of the skilled trades, discover whether technology will spark new opportunity or wipe out entire industries. The debate gets real about the growing gap between open jobs and a workforce facing soaring college costs and vanishing interest in hands-on careers. Corporate America is shaking as a wave of mergers and AI-driven startups crash onto the scene. With China pouring resources into the same race, is this the dawn of a revolution even bigger than the Internet? Timestamps 1:19 — Jordan Goodman — America’s Money Answer Man HOUR 2 Colorado GOP Showdown: Power Struggles and the Battle for the Party’s Soul Power plays, public feuds, and accusations fly as John Rush and Andy Peth expose the escalating battle for control of the Colorado GOP. From party bylaws and free speech wars to the heated question: Can Republicans ever win statewide while locked in civil war? No campaign tactic escapes scrutiny. Marx’s fundraising, debate strategy, and even his place as the nominee come under the microscope—all while John and Andy lay out the stakes for the party’s future. The hour crescendos with the ultimate question: Will Republicans unite, or will inner turmoil doom their chances? Hear why the opt-out controversy, Greg Lopez’s rogue campaign, and whispers of replacing Marx could decide Colorado’s political future. HOUR 3 Prophecy, Power, and Political Crossroads: Faith, Accountability, and Colorado’s GOP Crisis The hour launches with filmmaker Matthew Thayer’s gripping look at modern prophecy and whether anyone can truly hear the voice of God. Thayer’s documentary, featuring one of Charlie Kirk’s last unseen interviews, dares to question political prophecies and reveals why real faith means facing hard truths, not just predicting the future. Next, Mark Meckler of Convention of States tackles government accountability: Will Anthony Fauci ever face consequences? How far should states go to rein in federal power? The conversation dives deep into term limits, balanced budgets, and the controversial reforms some say are the only way to save Social Security. The show wraps with a return to Colorado’s high-stakes governor’s race. Will Greg Lopez’s outsider campaign make real waves, or will the party rally behind Marx in time to win big or risk losing it all in November?

    Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text 307-200-8222. Monday-Friday, 3 pm-6 pm MT. https://RushToReason.com HOUR 1 Unlocking the Truth: Is Jesus Really a Socialist? Exposing the Myths Shaping America Start with a shocking revelation—your home’s windows and doors might be failing you in Colorado’s high-altitude climate. John Rush and Dave Bancroft reveal what most never think to check, and why it matters more than you think. Then, dive into Aurora’s high-tech water meters and the controversial debate over government surveillance versus genuine conservation. Are smart meters a tool for good—or a step too far? Next, Lawrence (Larry) Reed tackles the explosive claim that Jesus was a socialist. Discover why this argument is gaining steam, what history teaches, and how personal freedom, charity, and economic wisdom are at stake. Reed’s insights will challenge assumptions and spark debate. Finally, get the inside scoop on Colorado’s Initiative 177, a fight over natural gas, electrification, and the power of political persuasion. John exposes how bullying from any side can backfire—and what’s really at risk for your choices at home. Timestamps 1:08 — Dave Bancroft — https://veteranwindowsdoors.com/ 18:54 — Larry Reed — https://www.lawrencewreed.com/ HOUR 2 Stadium Dreams, Sports Firestorms, and a GOP Civil War: What Denver Isn’t Ready For Kick off with Denver’s jaw-dropping stadium proposal—could Burnham Yard become the city’s crown jewel or its biggest headache? John and Richard Rush pull back the curtain on the hidden costs, urban battles, and why this project could change everything. Step into the uproar over transgender athletes in women’s sports, as the WNBA faces its toughest test yet. Hear the surprising reactions from NBA legends and why this story could reshape the future of sports. Get behind the wheel with the futuristic 2026 Lexus ES 500e Premium—luxury, power, and John’s electrifying take on high-speed charging. Finally, witness the dramatic fallout after a GOP endorsement goes sideways. Social media erupts, friendships fracture, and John shares a deeply personal journey—raising the stakes on the question: can the Republican Party survive its own infighting? Timestamps 1:50 — Richard Rush — Commentator 18:45 — 2026 Lexus ES 500e Premium HOUR 3 The Loneliness Epidemic, Political Showdowns, and Parenting in the National Spotlight Open with a raw, honest look at male loneliness—JOËL MALM reveals why so many men are struggling and what it really takes to build purpose and brotherhood in today’s world. Find out how adventure, challenge, and faith can transform lives. Shift gears to the Colorado GOP’s civil war. John exposes the backroom battles and calls out the finger-pointing threatening to tear the party apart. Hear why unity—not blame—may be the only path forward. Next, take a deep dive into America’s vaccine debate, from presidential policies to pharmaceutical accountability, and the explosive rise of Democratic Socialists. What’s really driving these seismic shifts? Should politicians be judged for their adult children’s actions?

    HR1 Political Mayhem & Three New Movies. Do Any Survive Andy’s Test? (8-7-26)

    HOUR 1 John Rush and Andy Peth ignite Hour 1 with a fiery debate on “vote your conscience” after a political primary. They call out the double standards of party unity and challenge the politics of loyalty, strategy, and what it really means to win over independents. The stakes? Whether sabotaging your own party helps the opposition seize victory. This is political radio at its sharpest—don’t miss it. Then, the ultimate movie rollercoaster: Andy Peth puts three wildly different films—Super Troopers 3, One Night Only, and Ice Cream Man—through his no-nonsense 5-Star Review system. One film is comedy gold, another totally tanks, and the third...you’ll have to hear Andy’s take. Which movie had him roaring with laughter, and which one crashed and burned?

From the gut-wrenching (The Passion of the Christ, Schindler’s List) to the emotionally draining (Uncut Gems, Marley & Me), and the truly unwatchable (Wonder Woman 1984, The Eternals), they pull no punches.
