What if the most important legacy you leave behind isn't money—but wisdom? Hour 1 opens with Al Smith of Golden Eagle Financial (https://goldeneaglefinancialltd.com), who joins John Rush to challenge listeners with a powerful question: Are you truly prepared for the future? This hour, with its urgent focus on generational wealth and financial planning, forces you to rethink retirement, self-sufficiency, and the responsibility we owe the next generation.

But the conversation doesn't stay calm for long.

As Colorado's roads crumble and the state faces a billion-dollar budget shortfall, John exposes a fiery online clash between Governor Polis and Governor Ron DeSantis. Did Colorado really collect billions in marijuana tax revenue for schools and roads—or is that claim collapsing under scrutiny? And why are residents suddenly reporting ICE sightings while extremist rhetoric spikes across social media?

Just when the hour can't get any hotter, John tackles a new political battle: the future of SNAP benefits. With millions at risk of losing food assistance, is America facing a safety-net crisis… or finally confronting system abuse?

Packed with financial insights, political fireworks, and complex questions, Hour 1 dares you to engage in a thought-provoking journey, rethinking what you believe—and why.

HOUR 2
What happens when the American dream collides with a 50-year mortgage? Hour 2 launches with Eric Weir (https://erikweir.com), author of Who's Eating Your Pie? as he and John Rush pull back the curtain on the newest—and most controversial—tool in housing finance. Could a half-century mortgage help first-time buyers escape rising rents, or is it a financial trap doubling your lifetime interest? And is this just math… or a political maneuver aimed at the Federal Reserve?

But the hour takes a sharp turn.

As social media erupts with anti-Israel rhetoric and conspiracy-driven claims, John confronts the emotional chaos head-on. Why are so many Americans falling for manipulated narratives? And how is AI—now powerful enough to create chart-topping songs—reshaping what people believe?

Just when the tension peaks, the conversation shifts again: back to financial stability with Al Smith of Golden Eagle Financial, and then into the world of sports, where the Denver Broncos deliver a jaw-dropping win that has fans buzzing. Plus, hear what John and Richard have to say about the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser.
 

Packed with financial strategy, cultural firestorms, and unexpected victories, Hour 2 dares listeners to question everything—from mortgages to media to the world we think we understand.

HOUR 3
What if the next global war isn't fought with missiles—but with algorithms? Hour 3 opens with AI and national-security expert Chris Hoar of SAT123 (https://sat123.com), who joins John Rush to break down America's silent, escalating technology battle with China. From rare earth control to stolen nuclear innovations, Chris reveals how Beijing's 2030 plan to dominate AI hardware and software is closer to reality than most Americans realize. Could the U.S. lose the digital high ground simply because we're looking the other way?

But the conversation goes deeper.

John exposes chilling new reports of Chinese hackers using AI for autonomous cyberattacks, raising the stakes on tariffs, national defense, and America's technological vulnerability. Then he pushes further: what happens when AI becomes so advanced that people can hold full conversations with systems that think—and manipulate—like humans?
The hour closes with political fire. John tackles the Epstein document battle, accusations aimed at Donald Trump, and the internal meltdown inside the GOP, from Marjorie Taylor Greene to Colorado's own party infighting.

Packed with espionage, ethics, and AI-driven danger, Hour 3 asks the ultimate question: Are we prepared for a world where technology, politics, and power collide?
