HR3 Colorado’s Power Grab Exposed: From Prices to Property Rights. 2-9-26

2/10/2026
HOUR 1 Hour 1 – https://RushToReason.com pulls no punches as John Rush dives headfirst into culture, freedom, and accountability—starting with a Super Bowl weekend that exposed just how divided the country has become. Why did a halftime show spark outrage, canceled orders, and online pile-ons against small businesses? And what does that say about tolerance, choice, and who really believes in freedom? John is joined by Mike Jansen of Plumberoos (https://plumberoos.com/), who breaks from the corporate, commission-driven model to explain what “old-school service” actually looks like in today’s world. Is it possible to run a successful business without upselling fear and urgency? What happens when trust—not pressure—is the foundation? The hour then pivots to deeper questions about government control versus personal responsibility, from proposed Colorado legislation impacting digital privacy to the economics of captive pricing at airports and major events. Is regulation protecting people—or punishing common sense? And why are consumers shocked by prices in places where choice is limited? This hour challenges listeners to rethink outrage culture, media narratives, and where freedom quietly slips away when no one’s paying attention. 🎙️ Guest Timestamps * Mike Jansen – Plumberoos - 1:10 HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason takes on education, culture, and the future of major American institutions—asking uncomfortable questions the media avoids. John Rush is joined by Ann Cori, Chairman of Eagle Forum (https://eagleforum.org/), to discuss Missouri’s SB 2330 and why unlimited screen time in classrooms may be crippling critical thinking. Are kids losing the ability to read, write, and actually think? And why does pen-and-paper learning matter more than ever? From there, John pivots into culture and economics—challenging the rush toward EV mandates, government subsidies, and corporate decisions disconnected from real consumers. Are automakers chasing politics instead of drivers? What happens when the free market is replaced by force? The hour closes with John’s son, Richard Rush, as they break down the Super Bowl—from claims the NFL is “scripted,” to a brutally honest take on the halftime shows, media outrage, and why Americans on all sides may be arguing over things that don’t actually matter. Is distraction replacing perspective? And are we missing bigger issues hiding in plain sight? This hour blends education policy, cultural sanity, and real-world economics into one conversation that challenges listeners to think deeper—and react less. 🎙️ Guest Timestamps * Ann Corrie – Eagle Forum - 1:10 * Richard Rush - 23:36 HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason is a deep dive into government transparency, property rights, and expanding state control—with stakes that hit close to home. John Rush opens the hour with John Hart from Open the Books (https://www.openthebooks.com/), unveiling a bold push to use AI and real-time data to expose government spending at every level. What if citizens could follow tax dollars the same way they track a credit-card receipt? Could this be the “Moneyball” moment for holding politicians accountable? From there, John turns his focus to Colorado’s legislature, breaking down a series of proposed bills targeting pricing controls and new taxes on so-called “vacant” homes. Are these laws really about fairness—or about control? And who ultimately pays when the government decides what prices are “acceptable” or how often you’re allowed to use your own property? As callers weigh in, the hour crescendos into a blunt conversation about private property, TABOR, bureaucracy, and rising costs of living. Is Colorado quietly redefining ownership itself? And where is the breaking point for voters when taxes and regulations keep stacking up? This is an hour that challenges assumptions—and asks listeners to look past the bill titles to see what’s really at stake.

HR2 The Commercials That Defined Generations—Do You Remember These? (2-6-26)

2/9/2026
HOUR1 Hour 1 of Rush To Reason turns Friday into movie night as Andy Peth delivers two sharply different 5-Star Movie Reviews—one heartfelt, one unsettling. Looking for a feel-good escape or a nerve-rattling experiment? This hour has both. First up is Solo Mio, a romantic comedy set against the backdrop of Italy's charm. Andy walks listeners through a story of heartbreak, healing, and unexpected connection. It’s a surprisingly good choice heading into Valentine’s season. Then the tone shifts hard with Iron Lung, a claustrophobic sci-fi horror born from YouTube culture. Andy applauds the lead performance and chilling concept, but doesn’t hold back on its flaws. His verdict? Tune in to find out. Two movies. Two worlds. Which one’s worth your time? 🎬 Movie Review Timestamps * Solo Mio – 9:01 * Iron Lung – 23:27 HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason keeps things fun, fast, and classic—starting with Super Bowl predictions and rolling straight into a nostalgic debate over the greatest commercials of all time. Before kickoff, Richard Rush and Andy Peth lock in their picks, each calling a tight 24–21 game, but backing different teams—Richard with the New England Patriots, Andy with the Seattle Seahawks. What swayed their thinking, and why did both expect a nail-biter? Then the hour shifts into advertising history as Andy, Richard, and John break down what makes a commercial truly unforgettable. From cultural game-changers like Apple’s 1984 to iconic Super Bowl moments such as Budweiser’s Clydesdales and laugh-out-loud classics from Old Spice and GEICO, the conversation explores why some ads transcend selling products and become part of American culture. Is it humor? Storytelling? Perfect timing? Or pure nostalgia? If you love sharp predictions, Super Bowl chatter, and commercials that still live rent-free in your head, Hour 2 is one you won’t want to miss.

HR1 Dr. Kelly: Peptides, Pharma, and Power: The Long Game. What Doctors Aren’t Saying. (2-5-26)

Don’t just listen, call in with your perspective at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. HOUR 1 Hour 1 of https"//Rush-To-Reason.com opens with John Rush challenging listeners to question authority, narratives, and so-called “expert consensus.” Joined by Dr. Kelly Victory, the hour dives into medical censorship, Big Pharma influence, and why independent voices matter more than ever after COVID. Who’s really funding the studies, the media, and the treatments—and how does that shape what patients are told? The conversation turns sharply to the ethics of modern medicine, from gender-transition procedures for minors to the financial incentives driving life-altering decisions. Dr. Kelly lays out why vulnerable adolescents need counseling and care—not irreversible interventions—and highlights growing legal and medical fallout. The discussion then pivots to health autonomy: peptides, GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, risks of muscle loss, and why lifestyle change—not miracle injections—is the real key to long-term health. The hour wraps with a candid look at supplements, parasites, ivermectin, and personalized medicine. Do you need to fully understand why something works—or is safety, results, and individual response what really matters? If you care about truth, health freedom, and asking the uncomfortable questions, this hour is a must-listen. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason dives straight into election integrity, political hypocrisy, and the growing divide between narrative and reality. John Rush is joined by Josh Finlay, Director of the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s National Election Protection Project (https://www.texaspolicy.com/election-protection-project), to break down why voter ID has become a mainstream issue—with overwhelming support across race and party lines. If ID is required for everyday life, why is voting treated differently? The hour then pivots to street-level protests and ICE enforcement, as John challenges listeners to confront the irony of activists setting up neighborhood roadblocks while opposing national border security. From there, the show takes a sharp turn into media literacy and credibility, dissecting viral claims, emotional fundraising, and how easily facts get ignored when they don’t fit a preferred story. The final stretch opens the phones, tackling frustration inside the conservative movement—from Trump’s messaging style and endorsements to midterm strategy, turnout, and Colorado’s looming tax battles. Is the real threat coming from the other side—or from within? And what happens when voters stop thinking critically and start believing whatever they’re told? ⏱️ Guest Timestamps * Josh Finlay – 1:11 HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason delivers a fast-paced deep dive into culture, credibility, and consequences—starting with Jerzee Joe (https://www.jerzeejoe.com) challenging the narrative around voter ID. Citing polling, street interviews, and Thomas Sowell’s “soft bigotry of low expectations,” Joe argues the issue isn’t race—it’s standards. The hour then pivots to education and policy failures, from colleges graduating students who can’t read at an eighth-grade level to electric school bus programs collapsing under real-world conditions. The conversation turns explosive with allegations involving public officials and questionable financial disclosures, raising serious questions about accountability and corruption. From there, John is joined by Scott Garliss ( https://x.com/CScottGarliss) to break down turbulence in crypto, precious metals, and markets—unpacking Fed uncertainty, margin calls, and why panic headlines often miss the bigger picture. The hour closes by calling out clickbait economics, AI fearmongering, and local policies that raise costs while preaching “affordability.” Are ideology and emotion replacing math, timelines, and common sense? ⏱️ Guest Timestamps * Jerzee Joe – 1:12 * Scott Garlis (Bent Pine Capital) – 25:39

HR2 Dr. Scott: Before the Heart Attack: Warning Signs No One Measures. When Normal Labs Fail. 2-4-26

2/5/2026
Don’t just listen, call in with your perspective 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 opens with a hard-hitting Health & Wellness Wednesday, guest-hosted by Dr. Scott Faulkner (https://castlerockregenerativehealth.com), alongside biohacker Jeremy Sova. This hour challenges the idea that decline is inevitable, asking a blunt question: What if fatigue, brain fog, and aging symptoms are signals—not sentences? Dr. Faulkner pulls back the curtain on credibility in modern medicine, why accountability matters, and how patient-first care has been lost in a system obsessed with protocols over people. The conversation moves from heart disease prevention to cutting-edge diagnostics, exposing why “treat after disaster” thinking may be failing patients. The hour then pivots to mitochondria—the cellular power source behind energy, cognition, and resilience. In plain English, they explain why damaged mitochondria lead to low energy and why inflammation accelerates the decline. Listeners get a preview of practical, low-cost steps to rebuild cellular power, break fitness plateaus, and reclaim mental clarity. Is aging really unavoidable—or have we been ignoring the real levers of longevity? HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason dives deep into preventive medicine, data-driven health, and personal accountability with Dr. Scott and biohacker Jeremy Sova. This hour challenges the medical status quo by asking a simple yet uncomfortable question: What if the biggest risks to your health aren’t showing up on standard tests? The conversation spans omega-3 optimization, cholesterol particle size, hormones, bone density, and why “normal labs” can still hide serious danger. The centerpiece is AI-assisted CT angiography, revealing how soft plaque—often invisible on calcium scores—can quietly lead to catastrophic heart events. A powerful listener call brings the science to life, showing how early detection can literally save lives. Dr. Faulkner also pulls back the curtain on why modern healthcare feels rushed and impersonal, tracing it to corporate medicine, electronic records, and the loss of doctor-patient relationships. This hour isn’t about fear—it’s about clarity, courage, and reclaiming control. Are you managing your health—or just hoping nothing breaks? HOUR 3 Hour 3 pushes listeners to the edge of what’s possible in regenerative and longevity medicine with Dr. Scott Faulkner and biohacker Jeremy Sova. The hour opens with reflection on family, faith, and time—then pivots sharply into a crash course on stem cells, separating real science from dangerous hype. What’s the difference between embryonic, bone-marrow, fat-derived, and umbilical-cord stem cells—and why does sourcing and regulation matter? From there, the discussion accelerates into global breakthroughs, including reports from Japan and Germany showing dramatic progress in spinal cord injury and early Alzheimer’s disease. The hour stacks next-gen therapies—stem cells, plasmapheresis (therapeutic plasma exchange), and hyperbaric oxygen therapy—and explains how they may work together to extend healthspan, reduce inflammation, and even reverse markers of aging, such as telomere shortening. The final segment tees up a major reckoning in women’s health, revisiting hormone replacement therapy and decades of fear driven by flawed studies. Is medicine finally shifting from managing decline to preventing it?

This hour challenges the medical status quo by asking a simple yet uncomfortable question: What if the biggest risks to your health aren’t showing up on standard tests? The conversation spans omega-3 optimization, cholesterol particle size, hormones, bone density, and why “normal labs” can still hide serious danger. The centerpiece is AI-assisted CT angiography, revealing how soft plaque—often invisible on calcium scores—can quietly lead to catastrophic heart events. A powerful listener call brings the science to life, showing how early detection can literally save lives. Dr. Faulkner also pulls back the curtain on why modern healthcare feels rushed and impersonal, tracing it to corporate medicine, electronic records, and the loss of doctor-patient relationships. This hour isn’t about fear—it’s about clarity, courage, and reclaiming control. Are you managing your health—or just hoping nothing breaks? HOUR 3 Hour 3 pushes listeners to the edge of what’s possible in regenerative and longevity medicine with Dr. Scott Faulkner and biohacker Jeremy Sova. The hour opens with reflection on family, faith, and time—then pivots sharply into a crash course on stem cells, separating real science from dangerous hype. What’s the difference between embryonic, bone-marrow, fat-derived, and umbilical-cord stem cells—and why does sourcing and regulation matter? From there, the discussion accelerates into global breakthroughs, including reports from Japan and Germany showing dramatic progress in spinal cord injury and early Alzheimer’s disease. The hour stacks next-gen therapies—stem cells, plasmapheresis (therapeutic plasma exchange), and hyperbaric oxygen therapy—and explains how they may work together to extend healthspan, reduce inflammation, and even reverse markers of aging, such as telomere shortening. The final segment tees up a major reckoning in women’s health, revisiting hormone replacement therapy and decades of fear driven by flawed studies. Is medicine finally shifting from managing decline to preventing it?

HR3 Dr. Scott: Reprogramming Aging: Inside the Therapies Rewriting the Biology of Aging. 2-4-26

2/5/2026
Don’t just listen, call in with your perspective 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 opens with a hard-hitting Health & Wellness Wednesday, guest-hosted by Dr. Scott Faulkner (https://castlerockregenerativehealth.com), alongside biohacker Jeremy Sova. This hour challenges the idea that decline is inevitable, asking a blunt question: What if fatigue, brain fog, and aging symptoms are signals—not sentences? Dr. Faulkner pulls back the curtain on credibility in modern medicine, why accountability matters, and how patient-first care has been lost in a system obsessed with protocols over people. The conversation moves from heart disease prevention to cutting-edge diagnostics, exposing why “treat after disaster” thinking may be failing patients. The hour then pivots to mitochondria—the cellular power source behind energy, cognition, and resilience. In plain English, they explain why damaged mitochondria lead to low energy and why inflammation accelerates the decline. Listeners get a preview of practical, low-cost steps to rebuild cellular power, break fitness plateaus, and reclaim mental clarity.

HR1 Inside the Culture War: ICE, Activism, and Melania. What the Battle is Really About. (2-3-26)

2/4/2026
Don’t just listen, call in with your perspective 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 opens with signature intensity as John Rush and Andy Peth challenge listeners to question narratives shaping today’s culture. From mad cow disease and prion science to a fiery discussion on ICE protests, paid activism, and law enforcement, the hour asks a provocative question: how do you talk to family members—especially younger ones—when politics turns personal and divisive? The conversation digs into freedom vs. force, the rule of law, and why enforcement is being reframed as oppression. Mid-hour, the spotlight shifts to pop culture colliding with politics as Andy reviews Melania. Set during the 20 days leading up to Donald Trump’s second inauguration, the film is portrayed as a quiet, meticulous character study of Melania Trump—elegant, disciplined, emotionally reserved, and fiercely self-controlled. Andy contrasts glowing audience reactions with hostile critic reviews, raising a bigger question: is the backlash about filmmaking—or ideology? Fast-paced, provocative, and cinematic, Hour 1 feels less like talk radio and more like a trailer for the cultural battles shaping America right now. 🎙️ Movie Review * 29:11 – Melania HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason shifts from commentary to strategy as John and Andy tackle one of the hardest questions facing families today: how do you talk to young people about ICE, immigration, and America without blowing up the relationship? The hour lays out a counterintuitive approach—don’t try to win the argument. Instead, praise motives first, disengage from social-media noise, and open the door to critical thinking. From “stolen land” claims to visa overstays, borders, and accusations of racism, John and Andy use everyday analogies—locking doors, protecting cars, drawing personal boundaries—to reframe the issue around responsibility, order, and fairness. History enters the conversation as they argue slavery didn’t define America—it ended here—while modern slavery still thrives elsewhere. A caller, Conrad, adds a personal immigration story that underscores assimilation, unity, and shared civic culture. Fast-moving, practical, and provocative, this hour asks a powerful question: what if the real goal isn’t winning debates—but changing hearts? HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason delivers a hard-nosed reality check on Colorado politics, business, and culture. John opens the hour with Michael Smith from the National Federation of Independent Business (https://www.nfib.com/), warning that the upcoming Colorado legislative session is stacked against small businesses. From renewed efforts to weaken the Labor Peace Act to growing regulations and fees, Michael explains why NFIB is once again playing defense—and why forced union dues should concern every worker, not just business owners. The hour then pivots sharply into culture and politics. John and Andy revisit the discussion of the Melania movie, calling out media narratives, propaganda, and the dangers of “Google-as-a-source” thinking. From there, the conversation turns blunt as they break down Colorado’s political math, challenging conservatives to stop confusing ideological agreement with electability. Can a deep-red candidate really win statewide in a deep-blue state? Or is Colorado’s future being sacrificed for purity tests? Provocative, data-driven, and unapologetically direct, Hour 3 asks the question few want to confront: Do you actually want to win? 🎙️ Timestamps – Guests * 1:10 – Michael Smith of NFIB

HR2 $8 Million for 30 Seconds: Why Super Bowl Ads Still Win. Questions That Change Minds. 2-2-26

2/3/2026
Don’t just listen, call in with your perspective at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. Hour 1 of Rush To Reason opens with intensity and quickly moves into uncomfortable but urgent territory. John Rush questions judgment, accountability, and the real-world consequences of words—especially when those words come from people in positions of authority. A shocking social media controversy involving an Erie police officer sparks a deeper conversation: where does free speech end, and responsibility begin? Why do some stories explode online but never reach mainstream headlines? Media bias and narrative framing take center stage as Christine Czernejewski, founder of Mediapedia (https://mediapedia.org/), joins the show to explain how journalism is shaped—not just by what’s reported, but by what’s left out. How are protests, ICE enforcement, and high-profile legal cases being portrayed? And are younger generations being informed… or steered? The hour closes by connecting media silence to broader political moves in Colorado, teasing upcoming debates over immigration enforcement, federal authority, and states’ rights. If you care about truth, transparency, and who controls the narrative, this hour sets the stage—and leaves you asking what you’re not being told. Guest Timestamps * Christine Czernejewski - 29:35 HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason moves fast from breaking headlines to deeper cultural fault lines. John opens with a troubling missing-person case involving an elderly woman in Arizona, raising hard questions about motive, media focus, and why some stories dominate while others quietly fade. Attention then turns back to Colorado, where a massive power outage left nearly 200,000 customers in the dark—yet barely registered compared to high-profile protests. Why do priorities seem so skewed? John challenges listeners on immigration and ICE enforcement, offering calm, everyday analogies to help parents and grandparents talk through these issues with younger generations. How do you explain borders, responsibility, and security without shouting—just asking the right questions? The hour then shifts gears as Richard joins John to break down the business psychology behind Super Bowl advertising. Why would companies spend millions for 30 seconds—and why do viewers actually watch the ads? The conversation blends media strategy, economics, and culture before closing with a review of the 2026 Toyota Prius Nightshade Edition—raising the question: Is it just cosmetic flair, or does it actually stand out on the road? Guest Timestamps * Richard Rush on Super Bowl Ads - 28:26 * Richard Rush 2026 Toyota Prius Review- 43:21 HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason dives deep into taxes, culture, and common sense, starting with a wide-ranging conversation between John and Grover Norquist (https://x.com/GroverNorquist). They break down why permanent tax cuts matter, who really pays corporate taxes, and how economic policy shapes wages, jobs, and investment. But the discussion doesn’t stop there. A bold new idea takes center stage: investment accounts for children designed to teach savings, ownership, and long-term thinking. Could getting kids invested early change how an entire generation understands the economy—and even how they vote? After Grover exits, John pivots to current events and cultural flashpoints. Why is ICE suddenly deploying body cameras now, and what role do protests and political pressure play in that decision? From there, John takes on lawsuit culture, reacting to a legal challenge over Costco’s iconic $4.99 rotisserie chicken and asking when personal responsibility disappeared. The hour wraps with a sharp critique of credential obsession and social-media censorship, questioning whether platforms like LinkedIn still offer real value—or just ideological gatekeeping. It’s an hour that connects money, mindset, and modern absurdity. Guest Timestamps * Grover Norquist 0:23

HR2 Power, Pressure, and Control: Why Bad Boss Movies Hit So Close to Home. 1-30-26

1/31/2026
Friday brings 5-Star Movie Reviews with Andy Peth, and this hour leans into mystery, tension, and unexpected turns. Two January releases step into the spotlight—and neither is what you might expect. First is Shelter. A quiet life. A violent interruption. A past that refuses to stay buried. Andy explores why this film slowly tightens its grip, blending grounded action with an unsettling question about how much privacy anyone really has anymore. Is patience rewarded—or tested? Then comes Send Help. A trip goes wrong. Power shifts. And survival becomes something far more personal. Andy digs into why this story resonates with anyone who’s ever felt trapped under someone else’s control, while also questioning whether it fully delivers on its darker promise. Two films. Two very different kinds of danger. Which one lingers after the credits roll? ⏱️ Movie Review Timestamps * Shelter — 13:39 * Send Help — 27:36 HOUR 2 What makes a boss cross the line from demanding… to destructive? In Hour 2 of Rush To Reason, John Rush and Andy Peth dive into the movie world’s most unforgettable bad bosses—the power-trippers, manipulators, and ego-driven leaders who leave chaos in their wake. From the darkly satisfying rebellion of 9 to 5 to the soul-crushing corporate games of Office Space, and the chilling, high-gloss control of The Devil Wears Prada, the conversation asks a bigger question: why does bad leadership look so familiar? Funny, uncomfortable, and painfully relatable, this hour connects Hollywood’s worst bosses to real-world power, pressure, and personality. Ever had that boss? This hour might feel a little too close to home.

HR1 Dr. Kelly. Trust in Medicine on Trial: Medical Accountability—What Aren’t We Being Told? 1-29-26

1/31/2026
Don’t just listen, call in with your perspective at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. Hour 1 launches with host John Rush, joined by Dr. Kelly Victory and Steve House, for a fast-moving, hard-hitting conversation on health, public trust, and rising national tensions. Why are colorectal cancer rates climbing among younger Americans—and are key factors being ignored? The panel questions pandemic-era decisions, healthcare accountability, and whether institutions will ever admit costly mistakes. The discussion then pivots to a disturbing trend: healthcare workers allegedly posting political threats online. What happens when medical ethics collide with political division? And how cautious must Americans now be—even inside a doctor’s office—about what they say? Listeners are left with urgent questions: Are professional standards slipping under political pressure? Can free speech and personal liberty survive growing cultural conflict? And what happens if accountability disappears? If you want bold conversations that challenge headlines and ask what others won’t, this hour sets the tone for the rest of the show. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason dives headfirst into the national debate over immigration enforcement, political unrest, and everyday freedoms. Host John Rush welcomes Ammon Blair of the Texas Public Policy Foundation https://www.texaspolicy.com), who breaks down how activist groups and political narratives shape public perception around ICE operations and border enforcement. Why do protests erupt even when authorities shut down human trafficking networks? And are federal and state leaders prepared for escalating tensions? The hour then pivots to listener-driven debate on government spending, vehicle policies, and personal choice, as Rush challenges criticism over law enforcement using large SUVs and Americans driving trucks or EVs. Is the real fight about environmental impact—or about freedom versus government control? With heated caller exchanges and strong opinions, the hour leaves listeners asking: who decides how Americans live, drive, and secure their communities? And what happens when policy debates collide with real-world needs? Guest Timestamps * Ammon Blair — 1:08 HOUR 3 Hour 3 brings John Rush together with Jerzee Joe (https://www.jerzeejoe.com), blending humor, headlines, and hard policy questions. The hour opens with cultural commentary and concerns about declining civic knowledge before pivoting to major Colorado gun legislation proposals that could expand red flag laws, regulate firearm components, and potentially limit ownership. Are lawmakers protecting citizens—or creating new constitutional concerns? Joe and John also challenge public perceptions about policing, comparing the rarity of questionable police shootings to the number of officers intentionally killed each year. Unexpected twists follow, including how nationwide weight-loss trends could even reduce airline fuel costs and a growing “ghost student” scam siphoning millions in federal education funds. Rush then turns to business news, revealing that Fat Brands, parent company to numerous familiar restaurant chains, has filed for bankruptcy, raising concerns for vendors and small businesses awaiting payment. From public safety and legislation to economic ripple effects, the hour leaves listeners wondering: are facts guiding policy, or are emotions driving decisions? Guest Timestamps * Jerzee Joe — 1:08
