Monday-Friday, 3 pm-6 pm MT. https://RushToReason.com HOUR 1 The Tragedy That Sparked a Movement—And the Secrets Social Media Won't Tell You John Rush kicks things off with the real-life drama families face when inheriting a home. Is it better to renovate or sell? Then, the discussion takes a sharp turn to political spin in Washington, the White House, and Donald Trump. Are we falling for viral social media narratives without asking the tough questions? Kris Ullman, president of Eagle Forum, joins for a gripping deep dive into the Lindsay Clancy case and the explosive social media reaction. What happens when compassion for mental illness blurs the line with accountability for unthinkable acts? Why does tragedy sometimes create online "fan clubs" for the accused? John and Kris question the cultural messages about motherhood, personal responsibility, and the three children lost. The conversation digs into the power of real relationships, the need for true community support, and the risks of letting online movements shape our values.

The Broncos’ fate hangs on health—one injury could upend it all. Then, they tackle the booming pay-to-play youth sports industry. Are families spending too much in pursuit of glory, and is the true purpose of sports—teamwork, discipline, perseverance—being lost along the way? Larry Behrens of Power The Future joins John for a provocative look at data centers, AI, China, energy, and the tech battles shaping America’s future. Is real concern being drowned out by hype and misinformation? John pulls back the curtain on how smartphones, cars, and social media are quietly collecting your most valuable asset: your data. In today’s world, information is power—and the stakes have never been higher.

John Rush and Alvin Lui of Courage Is a Habit return to the Lindsay Clancy case, but quickly dig into the modern parenting paradox. Has technology made parenting easier—or emotionally harder? From gratitude to social media, they explore what families are really up against. John then dives into the fierce debate over data centers and AI. From futuristic prosthetics and household robots to the race against China, he challenges the fearmongers and highlights the incredible benefits Americans stand to gain—if we don’t fall behind. Gabe Evans joins John to unpack Colorado’s pivotal 8th Congressional District, energy production, crime, affordability, individual liberty, and the fierce battle for the U.S. House. John wraps up by urging you to investigate the truth about data centers, property rights, and AI. America is in a high-stakes technological race, and the cost of falling behind could be higher than anyone realizes.
