As winter creeps closer, John Rush takes https://FixItRadio.com listeners on a fast-paced ride through the home maintenance tasks that can make or break your comfort this season. Is your sprinkler system truly ready for the first freeze? Or could one missed step in draining and shutting it down cost you hundreds in repairs? John breaks it all down, from backflow valves to air compressors, revealing how a few simple moves can protect your pipes, lawn, and wallet from the cold.

But just when you think the lesson’s over, Fix-It Radio flips the script—straight to your water heater. What’s the one part most homeowners forget to check until it’s too late? John and listener Joe expose how this tiny metal rod can mean the difference between years of reliable hot water and a flooded disaster. Could a $35 part really save you thousands? You’ll want to hear Joe’s real-life story before your next cold shower.

Then the conversation dives deeper—literally—into the water itself. How clean is the water running through your pipes? John spoke of Paul from Water Pros, whose customized filtration systems tackle “forever chemicals,” hard water, and corrosion at the source. From smarter plumbing to advanced tankless systems, this episode shows how water quality, maintenance, and technology are all connected. And a Montana caller wraps things up with a clever sprinkler hack that could change how you winterize forever.

From frozen pipes to failing heaters, Fix-It Radio proves that preparedness isn’t just for preppers—it’s for homeowners who want peace of mind before the first frost hits.

Hour 1 of Rush to Reason packs a punch from start to finish. John Rush kicks things off with Dave from Veteran Windows and Doors (https://www.veteranwindowsdoors.com), pulling back the curtain on the truth about home efficiency. Are your “new” windows really saving you money, or are they quietly draining your wallet? Dave exposes what builders and sales reps don’t tell you — from energy codes to hidden heat loss — and how to truly get the quality you pay for.

Then, John pivots from home upgrades to political reality. What really caused Colorado’s GOP setbacks, and who’s to blame? With his trademark boldness, he calls out hypocrisy, “RINO Watch” drama, and warns that real change demands strategy, not outrage.

Finally, Patrick Mueller from Bella Advisors (https://bellaadvisors.com) joins to dissect government spending, economic turbulence, and the explosive rise of AI. Could automation reshape entire industries — or even wipe out white-collar jobs? From Washington’s gridlock to America’s changing workforce, John and Patrick lay it all out.

It’s one hour of sharp insight, political truth, and real-world solutions.

HOUR 2
Hour 2 of Rush to Reason opens with two powerful callers — Wayne from Castle Rock, a veteran real estate broker, and Marty, whose earlier comments sparked debate about wealth, sacrifice, and homeownership. John Rush takes their insights head-on: are Americans struggling to buy homes, or just refusing to start small and build their way up? Together, John and Wayne unpack why expectations — not economics — are often the real obstacle to financial freedom.

From there, John dismantles the fear of an impending housing crash, pointing to $122 trillion in generational wealth and America’s still-strong 65% homeownership rate. The conversation shifts with Richard Rush to Colorado sports, where the Broncos, Nuggets, and Avalanche all make headlines.

The hour finishes at full throttle with a car review of the 2025 Toyota GR Corolla — a turbocharged hatchback that proves small can be mighty. It’s one hour of grit, growth, and gasoline-fueled insight you won’t want to miss.

HOUR 3
Hour 3 of Rush to Reason is a rollercoaster of politics, economics, and controversy. John Rush kicks things off with Jim Pfaff from the Conservative Caucus (https://theconservativecaucus.com), breaking down the latest government shutdown deal — and for once, Republicans didn’t back down. Is this the start of real conservative momentum, or just a brief victory before the next battle? From Donald Trump’s influence to Jerome Powell’s upcoming exit at the Fed, Jim and John explore how leadership and timing could make or break the economy — and the 2026 election.

Then, John shifts gears from Capitol Hill to the shop floor with a story making national headlines: the pardon of diesel mechanic Troy Lake. Sent to prison for removing emissions devices from trucks, Lake’s case sparks a fiery debate. Has the government gone too far in punishing blue-collar Americans? Or was justice finally served?

With John’s trademark mix of insight and outrage, this hour dives deep into freedom, overreach, and the fight for common sense — from D.C. power struggles to the diesel garage. Don’t miss the episode that proves why https://RushToReason.com is where truth meets traction.
