Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text 307-200-8222. Monday-Friday, 3 p.m.- 6 p.m. MT. https://RushToReason.com HOUR 1 Are Republicans Setting Themselves Up for Political Disaster? John Rush and Andy Peth ignite a fierce debate over the Colorado governor’s race, daring you to rethink what your vote really means. As Greg Lopez’s independent campaign stirs up controversy, they question whether supporting a long-shot is an act of principle or a move that could hand victory to the other side. From Victor Marx and Phil Weiser to Republican Party infighting and the battle for unaffiliated voters, John and Andy argue that voting should be strategic, not just symbolic. Is math more important than protest at the ballot box? The show takes a global turn as John and Andy tackle Trump, Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Israel, Hamas, and China, exposing the high-stakes power struggle reshaping the Middle East. It all builds to a provocative question: Is Your Vote a Protest or a Path to Victory? HOUR 2 Inside the Explosive Battle That Could Reshape America’s Energy Future. John Rush and Andy Peth team up with Kevin Mooney (author of Climate Porn) for a high-stakes look at Boulder County’s climate lawsuit against Suncor Energy. Could this case let states and cities rewrite energy rules nationwide? They dig into Supreme Court showdowns, the fight for reliable and affordable power, and the real-world impact of energy policy on your life. Andy flips Tom Cruise’s Digger into a sharp political metaphor. What happens when voters walk away from what’s being sold? That sparks a rapid-fire discussion on campaign cash, Greg Lopez’s struggles, and the uphill battle for independents. Andy closes the hour with a bold claim: rage can turn reason into your personal “internal lawyer,” defending choices made in the heat of emotion.

John Rush and Andy Peth kick off Hour 3 with Jim Pfaff from The Conservative Caucus, diving into the battles for congressional control, shifting voter turnout, and razor-thin races nationwide. Pfaff pulls back the curtain on Republican, libertarian, and young conservative movements as November draws near. The conversation heats up as John and Andy debate campaign messaging, Colorado’s fierce congressional races, and whether Greg Lopez should bow out. Are voters acting on anger, or is there a strategy beneath the surface? An eye-opening text from an 87-year-old Democrat torn between Phil Weiser, Victor Marx, and Greg Lopez fuels a lively debate on personality versus real governing consequences. John wraps up by confronting allegations that some radio hosts’ political coverage is swayed by campaign ad dollars while making it clear he hasn’t heard the supposed remarks himself.
