Episode Synopsis

HOUR 1
Hour 1 of Rush to Reason hits the ground running as John Rush welcomes Steve House, former Colorado GOP Chair and longtime health-care executive, for a rapid-fire look at the future of AI, medicine, and education. What happens when artificial intelligence reads your bloodwork better than your doctor? Could peptides disrupt Big Pharma the way streaming crushed cable? And why have drug launch prices jumped from $2,100 in 2008 to over $180,000 today?

Steve breaks down the explosion of AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Quarrio—platforms that can analyze symptoms, generate medical summaries, explain drug interactions, and even role-play ER physicians or comedians like Bill Burr. If AI can help people avoid unnecessary appointments, reduce anxiety, and make smarter decisions, will unions, bureaucracies, and giant health systems try to block it?

John and Steve push further: Could AI slash labor costs, reinvent classrooms, and eliminate menial tasks across entire professions? Will institutions embrace it—or fight it? And are we heading toward a world where advanced expertise becomes accessible to everyone?

This hour is provocative, funny, and packed with bold predictions.

HOUR 2
Hour 2 explodes with political heat as John Rush breaks down the real story behind the government shutdown and the six Democrats who crossed party lines. Were they acting on principle—or trying to affect last week’s elections? With 42 million Americans on SNAP, John asks: Why is dependency rising when jobs are everywhere? Should drug testing, tighter restrictions, and accountability be required before taxpayers foot the bill?

Caller Dan pushes the discussion into health-care reform, HSAs, and free-market medicine, sharing shocking billing stories. John argues conservatives are missing a huge opportunity by refusing to use AI as a communication tool—while the Left embraces it.

Caller Jeff raises the case for lifestyle-based insurance rates, while Brad from Lakewood unleashes a blistering critique of GOP messaging, low turnout, and Trump’s reliance on Truth Social. If conservatives can’t communicate their wins, how do they expect to win elections?

This hour is fiery, blunt, and unapologetically honest.

HOUR 3
Hour 3 delivers political fireworks, hard data, and eye-opening corruption. John Rush welcomes “Jerzee Joe,” (https://www.youtube.com/@jerzeejoe3145) who arrives with statistics showing how broken the system is. Why are only 0.25% of federal employees fired for cause when private industry averages 3–5%? Why do blue states like New Mexico and New York lead the nation in SNAP dependency, while Wyoming and Utah stay near 5%? And how can one man collect six sets of SNAP benefits across multiple states?

Joe reveals massive NGO fraud, including a St. Louis nonprofit that burned $11 million on luxuries and a Minneapolis restaurant claiming to feed thousands—but feeding only 40 paying customers. He then exposes the Chicago Teachers Union for spending $173,000 on a “recording studio” with a pool in New Mexico.

The hour shifts as market analyst Scott Garliss (https://cscottgarliss.substack.com) breaks down panic surrounding Michael Burry, AI stocks like NVIDIA and Palantir, and whether an “AI bubble” is looming. Are pessimists fueling fear while long-term investors reap the rewards?

Fast, sharp, and packed with revelations—this hour pulls no punches.
