HR3 From New York to San Francisco: The Cost of Collectivism. Reality & the Red Exodus 11-4-25

In Hour 1 of Rush to Reason, guest host Andy Pate is joined by Tanner Cole and Rachel Maines for a powerful conversation that starts with humor and heart—but quickly dives deep. What happens when faith, culture, and politics collide? As they reflect on the passing of Dick Cheney, the trio challenges listeners to rethink compassion, forgiveness, and how Christians should respond to hate. Then the discussion shifts—why are women leaving the church while men are returning? Backed by Barna and Pew Research data, Andy and Rachel expose shifting beliefs about abortion, gender, and truth itself. Has modern Christianity become too compromised… or too feminine? This episode asks the hard questions others won’t—about faith, conviction, and what it really means to stand for truth in a culture that’s lost its way. HOUR 2 In Hour 2 of Rush to Reason, guest host Andy Pate teams up with Jersey Joe for a hard-hitting political rundown spanning New Jersey, California, and Virginia. Could Jack Cittarelli pull off a red upset in a deep-blue state? Are skyrocketing electricity rates and green energy failures driving voters to the right? The two break down shifting voter trends, redistricting battles like California’s Prop 50, and the economic fallout from high taxes and bad policy. Then they turn to Virginia, where the NAACP and Barack Obama face charges of hypocrisy for backing a white Democrat over black Republican Winsome Sears. Is this about race, gender—or just party power? Packed with insight, outrage, and irony, this episode asks: what’s really changing in America’s political landscape, and is a conservative comeback already underway? HOUR 3 In Hour 3 of Rush to Reason, guest host Andy Pate is joined by Eli Bremer, political consultant and former Olympian, for a bold look at the rise of socialism, real estate collapse, and economic flight in America’s bluest cities. Could New York’s Zohran Mamdani turn the Empire State into the next San Francisco? Andy and Eli expose the dangers of collectivization, the hypocrisy of modern Democrats, and how free-market capitalism remains the only system that feeds rather than starves. With stories ranging from Trump’s legal battles to billionaires fleeing New York, the pair reveal how misguided policies—and willful ignorance—are driving America toward disaster. Will citizens finally learn from failure, or will taxpayers be forced to bail out collapsing blue states once again? This episode pulls no punches—it’s a warning, a wake-up call, and a reality check all in one.
