HR2 Own Your Time, Own Your Life: Discipline, Playoffs & Smart Choices. (1-5-26)

Hour 1 of Rush To Reason kicks off 2026 with a practical look at home value as Veterans Windows and Doors joins the show. Are drafty windows or outdated doors quietly costing you comfort, efficiency, and resale value? Dave explains why the right upgrades can turn everyday improvements into long-term investments. From there, the tone shifts fast. John Rush returns live with intensity and urgency, setting the stage for a year of straight talk about leadership, accountability, and consequences—both local and global. The hour dives headfirst into Colorado politics, beginning with a sharp analysis of recent moves in the governor’s race. Next, the segment explores whether ego-driven decisions and GOP party infighting are once again handing the opposition victory. Listener calls then echo growing frustration over fractured leadership and the absence of a clear path to win. Midway through the hour, attention turns to breaking local news as John shares urgent updates about a fast-moving wildfire near Lafayette and explicitly urges listeners to stay alert and follow evacuation orders as they unfold. Closing the hour, the spotlight shifts to global events in Venezuela. Was the operation legal or strategic—a signal to adversaries such as Russia and China? The hour’s analysis questions narratives and sets a bold, candid tone for a year where nothing is off-limits. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason blends discipline, perspective, and everyday relevance as John Rush welcomes Retired U.S. Navy Chief Bill Corman, an entrepreneur and leadership coach (https://www.the168game.com/). As the new year begins, how do you stop feeling overwhelmed—and start taking control? Bill introduces his concept of time ownership, arguing that time isn’t something to manage, but something to own, guided by clear morals, values, and principles. Are you saying yes to too much, and paying for it with stress, burnout, and lost priorities? The hour then shifts gears with listener calls, real-world insights, and a reminder that small ideas can have massive impact—like the simple dashboard symbol that solved a daily driving frustration for millions. John’s son Richard Rush joins the show with updates on a local wildfire and a deep dive into the Broncos' playoff implications. With the #1 seed secured, how close is Denver really to the Super Bowl, and is this the most wide-open NFL postseason in years? The hour wraps up with spotlighting why the 2026 Toyota Camry Hybrid challenges the assumption that SUVs are always the better choice. From time and leadership to sports and smart decisions, this hour keeps listeners thinking—and questioning. HOUR 3 Delivers a sobering, high-stakes conversation on global power, corruption, and the growing reach of Marxist ideology—abroad and at home. John Rush is joined by Ammon Blair, Senior Fellow at the Texas Public Policy Foundation (https://www.texaspolicy.com/) and a 20+ year U.S. Border Patrol veteran, for a deep dive into Venezuela, Mexican cartels, and Western Hemisphere security. How deeply are cartels embedded in legitimate businesses, agriculture, and global supply chains? Why has the U.S. repeatedly chosen trade over security—and what are the long-term consequences? Ammon explains how cartel power extends far beyond drugs, influencing food prices, transportation, money laundering, and political stability across borders. The hour then pivots back to the U.S., as John draws sharp connections between global Marxism and local governance. Are cities like New York and Denver already living the consequences of collectivist control? What happens when government replaces individual responsibility—and can it be stopped before spreading further? This hour challenges assumptions, exposes uncomfortable realities, and asks the question few are willing to confront: Is freedom quietly being traded for control?
