HR3 Critical Thinking, Campus Activism, and The Political Math Driving CO’s Governor Race. (5-11-26)

5/11/2026
HOUR 1 Colorado Politics, Media Narratives, and The Brutal Math Conservatives Don’t Want To Hear. Hour 1 of Rush to Reason turns into one of John Rush’s most direct and emotionally charged conversations in recent memory. Beginning with the shocking Frontier Airlines runway tragedy that made national headlines, John quickly shifts the conversation toward something bigger. Media manipulation. Why are words like “pedestrian” being used instead of “trespasser,” and what does that reveal about modern reporting and accountability? From there, the conversation expands to airport security, public behavior during emergencies, and the emotional fallout for pilots, passengers, and first responders. The intensity continues to build as John pivots into Iran negotiations, the collapse of international trust, and what he believes are dangerous political double standards surrounding Barack Obama and modern foreign policy. The final half of the hour becomes a passionate breakdown of Colorado’s governor race, Republican infighting, and cold political math. John challenges the conservatives who ignore voter demographics, unaffiliated voters, and election realities for emotion and loyalty. The result is a fast-moving hour filled with political strategy, frustration, media criticism, and blunt warnings about Colorado’s future. HOUR 2 CO Politics, Election Reality, and The Conservative Civil War Nobody Wants To Admit. Hour 2 becomes a fast-moving deep dive into Colorado election law, political strategy, and what John sees as dangerous misconceptions spreading through conservative circles. The hour opens with John explaining why Greg Lopez’s unaffiliated gubernatorial campaign bypasses the Republican primary entirely, sparking heated exchanges with listeners confused about Colorado ballot rules. John and Richard Rush explain how unaffiliated candidates split conservative votes in Colorado, while Democrats stay unified. They also discuss a possible blue wave, strong Democratic fundraising, and the impact of Republican infighting on down-ballot races. The hour also shifts into lighter territory with a review of the 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV Premium Plus. Hour 2 blends political realism, election strategy, sports talk, and practical automotive insight. Time Stamps 28:06 — Richard Rush 44:16 - 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV Review HOUR 3 Critical Thinking, Campus Activism, And The Political Math Driving Colorado’s Governor Race. Hour 3 begins with John, joined by Victoria Ikea, discussing Bernie Sanders’ “More Perfect University,” a progressive campus initiative designed to recruit and train young political influencers. The conversation quickly broadens into a debate over ideological conformity on college campuses, free speech, and whether universities are fostering independent thought or simply producing activists trained to repeat political talking points. John and Victoria also discuss the pressure conservative students often face at progressive universities and why critical thinking and open dialogue matter more than ever. The second half of the hour turns heavily toward Colorado politics as John passionately defends his analysis of Greg Lopez’s unaffiliated gubernatorial campaign. He argues that Colorado’s voter demographics, Democratic-leaning unaffiliated voters, and basic political math make Lopez’s path to victory extremely difficult. John also discusses Tara Lynn Romero’s role on the ticket, Republican infighting, party loyalty, and why he believes too many conservatives are relying on emotion and wishful thinking instead of strategy, data, and realistic campaign planning.

HR1 Fear, Health Risks, And The Hidden Toxins Shaping Modern Life. (5-7-26)

5/11/2026
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 Fear, Health Risks, And The Hidden Toxins Shaping Modern Life. Hour 1 of Rush To Reason takes listeners deep into some of the most controversial and unsettling health conversations happening today. John Rush is joined by Dr. Kelly Victory and Steve House for a fast-moving discussion that begins with growing fears about Hantavirus, media-driven panic, and questions about whether another public fear campaign is unfolding. But the conversation quickly expands into something much larger. Are Americans becoming sicker because of modern lifestyles, toxic food systems, environmental exposure, or something even deeper? The hour tackles everything from vaccine-related heart concerns and rising atrial fibrillation cases to alarming increases in colorectal cancer among younger adults. Listeners hear discussions about routine screenings, elevated iron levels, preventive care, GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, microplastics, processed foods, and why so many people feel trapped in a healthcare system driven by fear and uncertainty. Along the way, John shares reflections about his father’s cancer battle and his own exposure to chemicals in the automotive industry. HOUR 2 Colorado Politics, Campaign Chaos, And The Cultural Divide Nobody Wants To Admit Exists. Hour 2 takes a sharp turn into Colorado politics, Republican infighting, election strategy, and the growing disconnect between political reality and political ego. John spends much of the hour dissecting ballot access rules, the SAVE Act, mail-in voting, and why he believes Greg Lopez remaining in the governor’s race could damage Republican chances statewide. Along the way, John challenges candidates who avoid tough interviews and explains why he refuses to play the role of a “fanboy” host for any politician. The conversation then pivots into gun rights, Phil Weiser, and Colorado’s controversial large-capacity magazine restrictions, with John arguing the laws are ineffective and politically motivated. Later, an odd Florida influencer story launches a broader cultural conversation about “looks-maxing,” self-image, professionalism, grooming, and whether Americans have lost pride in personal presentation altogether. HOUR 3 Government Control, Crime, Taxes, Surveillance, And The Growing Fight Over Freedom. Hour 3 dives into some of the biggest debates shaping America right now—from gun rights and immigration enforcement to automated surveillance, rising taxes, and government overreach. John and Jerzee Joe open the hour by dismantling Colorado’s high-capacity magazine laws, arguing the restrictions are nearly impossible to enforce when neighboring states and online retailers remain easily accessible. The conversation broadens into media coverage of violent crime, Chicago homicide statistics, immigration-related plea deal controversies in Virginia, and concerns about prosecutors allegedly prioritizing politics over equal justice. The hour intensifies further as Joe breaks down New York City’s proposed “tax the rich” policies targeting billionaire Ken Griffin, sparking a larger conversation about businesses fleeing high-tax states and shrinking downtown economies. Later, listeners debate speed cameras, red-light cameras, toll-lane violations, and what many callers describe as government-run revenue traps disguised as public-safety programs.

HR1 The Microbiome Warning Doctors Missed for Decades. The Gut-Brain Connection. (5-6-26)

5/7/2026
Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. https://RushToReason.com Dr. Scott Faulkner - https://castlerockregenerativehealth.com/ HOUR 1 The Microbiome Warning Doctors Missed for Decades. The Gut-Brain Connection. Dr. Scott Faulkner guest-hosts this Health and Wellness Wednesday on Rush To Reason and dives headfirst into one of the fastest-growing frontiers in medicine: the microbiome. Joined by Jeremy Sova, Nathan Lehman, and microbiome expert Jenny Olson, the hour explores how gut health may influence nearly everything from immune strength and brain function to inflammation, energy, mood, and chronic disease. Why are so many people struggling with bloating, fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and food sensitivities while being told their labs are “normal”? The conversation uncovers the dangers of overusing antibiotics, processed foods, excess sugar, and broad-spectrum treatments that may quietly damage the gut ecosystem for months or even years. Jenny Olson explains leaky gut, SIBO, dysbiosis, and the gut-brain connection in understandable, practical terms. The hour also highlights advanced stool testing, spore-based probiotics, regenerative medicine, and new therapies being added at Castle Rock Regenerative Healthcare. Hour one provides simple, practical tips for supporting your gut health, making it easy to start taking action today. HOUR 2 The 12-Step Microbiome Reset That Could Change Everything. Hour 2 takes listeners deeper into the rapidly evolving world of regenerative medicine, microbiome science, and biologic age reversal. Dr. Scott, Jeremy, and Nathan explore a provocative idea: what if many surgeries, chronic conditions, and “normal aging” symptoms could be delayed, reduced, or even avoided by rebuilding the body from the inside out? Nathan shares how regenerative orthopedics is changing the conversation around joint pain, spine injuries, inflammation, and chronic fatigue. The discussion then pivots into an ambitious 12-week microbiome reset designed to detoxify the body, repair gut integrity, restore mitochondrial function, and rebuild healthy bacterial ecosystems. From fasting and autophagy to advanced genomic stool testing, targeted probiotics, fermented foods, methylation pathways, and mitochondrial support, the hour connects seemingly unrelated symptoms like anxiety, obesity, fibromyalgia, brain fog, depression, hormone imbalance, and chronic pain back to microbiome dysfunction. HOUR 3 Optimizing the Whole Person, Not Just Treating Symptoms. Hour 3 brings together everything Dr. Scott Faulkner, Jeremy Sova, Nathan Lehman, and Jenny Olson introduced throughout the day. What begins as a recap of the microbiome “12-step reset” quickly expands into a much larger conversation about the future of medicine itself. The team explains how testing, fasting, detoxification, mitochondrial support, synbiotics, stress reduction, and lifestyle optimization can work together to rebuild the body’s internal ecosystem rather than simply masking symptoms. But the hour goes beyond gut health alone. Nathan shares how regenerative medicine may help patients avoid surgery through therapies such as stem cells, platelet-rich plasma, StemWave, and other treatments and detox protocols. The team also unveils ambitious new concierge-style health memberships designed around biological age reversal, advanced cancer screening, microbiome testing, longevity therapies, and full-body optimization. Throughout the discussion, one central theme keeps emerging: healthcare may be entering a new era in which the goal is no longer just treating disease but extending healthspan.

Joined by Jeremy Sova, Nathan Lehman, and microbiome expert Jenny Olson, the hour explores how gut health may influence nearly everything from immune strength and brain function to inflammation, energy, mood, and chronic disease. Why are so many people struggling with bloating, fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and food sensitivities while being told their labs are “normal”? The conversation uncovers the dangers of overusing antibiotics, processed foods, excess sugar, and broad-spectrum treatments that may quietly damage the gut ecosystem for months or even years. Jenny Olson explains leaky gut, SIBO, dysbiosis, and the gut-brain connection in understandable, practical terms. The hour also highlights advanced stool testing, spore-based probiotics, regenerative medicine, and new therapies being added at Castle Rock Regenerative Healthcare. Hour one provides simple, practical tips for supporting your gut health, making it easy to start taking action today. HOUR 2 The 12-Step Microbiome Reset That Could Change Everything. Hour 2 takes listeners deeper into the rapidly evolving world of regenerative medicine, microbiome science, and biologic age reversal. Dr. Scott, Jeremy, and Nathan explore a provocative idea: what if many surgeries, chronic conditions, and “normal aging” symptoms could be delayed, reduced, or even avoided by rebuilding the body from the inside out? Nathan shares how regenerative orthopedics is changing the conversation around joint pain, spine injuries, inflammation, and chronic fatigue. The discussion then pivots into an ambitious 12-week microbiome reset designed to detoxify the body, repair gut integrity, restore mitochondrial function, and rebuild healthy bacterial ecosystems. From fasting and autophagy to advanced genomic stool testing, targeted probiotics, fermented foods, methylation pathways, and mitochondrial support, the hour connects seemingly unrelated symptoms like anxiety, obesity, fibromyalgia, brain fog, depression, hormone imbalance, and chronic pain back to microbiome dysfunction. HOUR 3 Optimizing the Whole Person, Not Just Treating Symptoms. Hour 3 brings together everything Dr. Scott Faulkner, Jeremy Sova, Nathan Lehman, and Jenny Olson introduced throughout the day. What begins as a recap of the microbiome “12-step reset” quickly expands into a much larger conversation about the future of medicine itself. The team explains how testing, fasting, detoxification, mitochondrial support, synbiotics, stress reduction, and lifestyle optimization can work together to rebuild the body’s internal ecosystem rather than simply masking symptoms. But the hour goes beyond gut health alone. Nathan shares how regenerative medicine may help patients avoid surgery through therapies such as stem cells, platelet-rich plasma, StemWave, and other treatments and detox protocols. The team also unveils ambitious new concierge-style health memberships designed around biological age reversal, advanced cancer screening, microbiome testing, longevity therapies, and full-body optimization. Throughout the discussion, one central theme keeps emerging: healthcare may be entering a new era in which the goal is no longer just treating disease but extending healthspan.

HR2 Can Republicans Win Colorado… Or Are They Defeating Themselves First? (5-5-26)

5/6/2026
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 Colorado Snow, Welfare Fraud, And A Province Ready To Break Away? John Rush and Andy Peth deliver a thought-provoking first hour that moves from Colorado’s unpredictable May snowstorm to government fraud, energy policy, and the possibility of Alberta separating from Canada. John and Andy examine welfare fraud investigations involving luxury vehicles tied to SNAP recipients, raising major questions about government oversight, taxpayer burden, and why these stories rarely dominate national headlines. Hang on because the discussion takes an unexpected geopolitical turn. Could Alberta actually separate from Canada? What would happen if the oil-rich province sought independence or even explored becoming America’s 51st state? The hosts and callers unpack the economic, constitutional, and energy implications of such a move while debating federal power, environmental lawsuits, state sovereignty, and America’s own political instability. HOUR 2 Can Republicans Win Colorado… Or Are They Defeating Themselves First? John Rush and Andy Peth spend Hour 2 digging deep into the political fractures inside Colorado’s Republican Party, and the conversation becomes an intense examination of strategy, messaging, fundraising, and whether conservatives are unintentionally sabotaging their own future. The hour begins with a broader discussion of secession movements and why conservative regions increasingly want autonomy from liberal-controlled governments, before shifting to Colorado GOP infighting over “RINO Watch,” party leadership battles, lawsuits, and the ongoing fallout tied to former chair Brita Horn. As the hour unfolds, John and Andy dissect the Colorado governor’s race candidate-by-candidate, comparing messaging styles, fundraising realities, and electability in a blue-leaning state. They analyze Scott Bottoms’ culture-war approach, Barbara Kirkmeyer’s policy-heavy messaging, and Victor Marks’ growing grassroots momentum, all while repeatedly emphasizing the enormous importance of Colorado’s unaffiliated voters. But the most emotional and forceful portion of the hour centers on Greg Lopez’s independent candidacy. John argues that Lopez's continued candidacy could devastate Republicans' statewide chances by splitting conservative votes, depressing turnout, and allowing Democrats to redirect millions to other competitive races across Colorado. HOUR 3 Oil Wars, Government Fraud, And The Political Divide Getting Even Deeper Andy Peth takes over Hour 3 with a fast-moving blend of geopolitics, energy strategy, political satire, and government corruption that spans the Middle East, California, and Minnesota. The hour begins with energy expert Daniel Turner discussing the weakening of OPEC, Iran's instability, and why global control of oil may ultimately determine the future balance of world power. The tone then shifts as Jerzee Joe joins the program for a wide-ranging discussion mixing humor, cultural commentary, and sharp political criticism. The conversation covers Cinco de Mayo history, comedy clips, California refinery shutdowns, soaring fuel costs, and the growing number of wealthy Americans fleeing high-tax blue states. But the hour turns darker as Joe highlights alleged fraud scandals involving California hospice programs, Somali-linked money transfers in Minnesota, and political corruption tied to taxpayer-funded programs. Throughout the discussion, Andy repeatedly returns to a larger theme running underneath the entire hour: who benefits when government oversight fails, and why do political systems seem unable—or unwilling—to stop it?

HR3 Why Conversations Break Down Every Day. Hantavirus on Cruise Ship kills 3. (5-4-26)

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 Are You Being Told The Truth… Or Just What Someone Wants You To Believe? In this gripping Hour 1 of Rush to Reason, John Rush pulls listeners into a fast-moving conversation that spans global conflict, misinformation, personal safety, and economic fallout. From rising tensions in the Strait of Hormuz to the role of Donald Trump in navigating international pressure, the question becomes unavoidable: how much of what you’re seeing is real—and how much is manipulated? John sounds the alarm on AI-driven propaganda, warning that foreign influence, especially from China, is shaping narratives in ways most people don’t recognize. Closer to home, he challenges everyday habits—social media posts, yard signs, even vacation updates—that could be exposing families to real danger. Then comes the economic reality check: the collapse of Spirit Airlines. Could government intervention and blocked mergers have changed the outcome? What happens to 14,000 workers when policy decisions ripple through the market? This hour connects the dots between global strategy, digital deception, and personal responsibility—leaving one powerful question: Are you paying attention to what really matters? 🎙️ HOUR 2 Are Leaders Being Built… Or Just Manufactured By The System? In Hour 2 of Rush to Reason, John dives into a powerful mix of politics, culture, and leadership—raising questions that cut deeper than headlines. Why would figures like Amy Klobuchar shift roles, and what does that reveal about ambition, power, and long-term strategy? But the conversation quickly pivots to something even more foundational: truth. As John dissects claims from Candace Owens, he exposes how misinformation spreads—and how audiences may be unknowingly fueling it. In a world driven by clicks and influence, who can you really trust? Then comes one of the most impactful discussions of the day. Leadership expert Dr. Jamika Bivens joins the show to challenge how we define success. Are we producing high achievers… or true leaders? From character and integrity to confidence and communication, the gap is real—and growing. The hour closes with a practical turn, featuring a standout review of the 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid and a reality check on fuel prices.

In Hour 3, John Rush zeroes in on one of the most overlooked problems in modern life—communication. Joined by Christine Miles, the conversation uncovers a staggering truth: poor listening isn’t just frustrating—it’s costing businesses trillions and damaging relationships at every level. But the issue runs deeper than distractions. It’s rooted in how the brain processes information—filtering conversations through bias, emotion, and past experience. The result? A constant gap between what’s said and what’s actually understood. The solution sounds simple—repeat, confirm, and clarify—but in practice, it’s rarely done. As the hour unfolds, John connects these communication failures to broader real-world consequences—from political division to public misunderstanding. He also touches on timely issues, including a hantavirus outbreak aboard the MV Hondius and a legal clash between the U.S. Department of Justice and Denver over constitutional limits. Whether it’s health, policy, or everyday conversation—clarity changes everything. 👤 Timestamps 1:07 - Christine Miles - https://thelisteningpath.com/

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 Is America On The Edge Of A Health Revolution Or A System Breakdown? John Rush opens Hour 1 with a provocative tone that quickly turns into a deep dive on trust—trust in institutions, in health systems, and in the future itself. Joined by Steve House, the conversation explores whether growing frustration with government, healthcare, and cultural systems could signal something bigger brewing beneath the surface. From peptides and personal health freedom to the influence of Big Pharma, John and Steve question whether Americans are waking up—or being controlled. Could better nutrition, regenerative medicine, and lifestyle shifts radically extend life… and disrupt entire industries? But the discussion doesn’t stop there. AI, exoskeletons, and brain-interface technology introduce a future that feels both exciting and unsettling. Will innovation empower individuals—or erode resilience and purpose? 👤 Timestamps 7:23 — Steve House — Political Commentator 🎙️ HOUR 2 Who’s Really Influencing Your Kids, Your Roads, And Your Reality? John Rush launches Hour 2 with a powerful conversation alongside Alvin Lui of Courage Is a Habit, exposing what many parents may not realize is happening inside K-12 education. From the influence of the Southern Poverty Law Center to embedded counseling standards, the question becomes urgent—are schools shaping minds in ways parents never approved? As the discussion unfolds, the focus shifts to data collection, student surveys, and how small, targeted inputs may be driving large-scale policy changes. But the conversation doesn’t stop there. John pivots to Colorado legislation that could fine drivers for barely exceeding the speed limit, raising concerns about enforcement, accuracy, and government overreach. Then the tone sharpens. With Jim Pfaff of the Conservative Caucus, the conversation turns to political rhetoric, media influence, and rising tensions following a recent incident involving Donald Trump. 👤 Timestamps 1:08 Alvin Lui — https://courageisahabit.org/ 27:51 Jim Pfaff — https://theconservativecaucus.com/ 🎙️ HOUR 3 Is The Real Problem What We Believe… Or How We Think? John Rush opens Hour 3 with Jerzee Joe, blending light science with deeper questions about reality itself. From leap years to Einstein’s energy equation, the conversation highlights how small truths can have massive implications—setting the stage for a broader discussion on perception and understanding. That theme quickly intensifies as the focus shifts to public belief systems. Survey data reveals how many people accept narratives that challenge established facts, raising a critical question: is this misinformation… or a deeper erosion of trust in institutions? The conversation then turns practical—examining government accountability, welfare misuse, and the real cost to taxpayers when systems are exploited. From there, John pivots sharply into Colorado politics, delivering a candid assessment of election strategy, internal division, and why campaigns fail. 👤 Timestamps 1:09 Jerzee Joe — Https://JerzeeJoe.com
