WHAT A WEEKEND

SLO-MO

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with John and Andy taking aim at America's growing "slob culture." Has the bar really fallen so low that pajamas in airports and declining personal standards now feel normal? And is this just bad manners—or part of an ideological push toward sameness and lowered expectations?

The hour then shifts into one of Colorado's most pressing political dilemmas heading into 2026: how should Republican candidates navigate the MAGA question? John and Andy break down the widening split inside the conservative movement—mainstream Republicans, hardcore MAGA loyalists, libertarian purists, and conspiracy-driven factions—and show why every group demands a different message.

Reject MAGA and you lose the base. Embrace it fully and you lose the middle. So what's the winning strategy in a state where MAGA isn't popular, but MAGA voters decide primaries? Hour 1 blends humor, political reality, and blunt strategy—challenging conservatives to ask: How do you win in a state where every word can cost you a vote?

HOUR 2 
Hour 2 dives into one of Denver's most explosive controversies: the city's push to reclassify strip-club performers as employees. John and Andy argue this fight has almost nothing to do with morality—it's about government power, tax extraction, and a long-term plan to reshape Colorado's contractor economy.

With insights from Jerzee Joe, they reveal how Denver is twisting IRS standards to set a precedent that could eventually target hair stylists, bartenders, electricians, nurses, massage therapists, Uber drivers, and even construction crews. Is the Christian right unknowingly helping advance a left-wing strategy designed to crush contractor-based businesses?

The hour highlights a political trap: Denver picked a morally unpopular industry so they could secure support from both sides—then quietly use the ruling to go after hundreds of other professions. Could this be Colorado's most overlooked political story of 2025? And will business owners realize what's coming before the government decides they're no longer independent?

HOUR 3 
Hour 3 plays like a geopolitical thriller as John and Andy welcome Jim Paff of Conservative Caucus to unpack escalating U.S.–Venezuela tensions. Are Trump's threats a prelude to war—or a negotiation tactic to force Maduro to move without American boots on the ground? And if Venezuela's elections were rigged, what responsibility does the U.S. have to intervene?

The hour intensifies when Jim details a massive fraud scandal unfolding in Minnesota—a money-laundering scheme he calls "the tip of the tip of the iceberg." Is this just the first glimpse of a nationwide network of NGOs and political actors siphoning billions in taxpayer dollars?

Then, breaking news hits: Trump has nullified all Biden-era auto-pen pardons. John and Andy debate whether this is a courageous stand for constitutional integrity—or a legal gamble that could backfire if the courts reject it. Can anyone truly prove what Joe Biden did or didn't knowingly authorize?

Hour 3 weaves geopolitics, corruption, legal strategy, and national urgency—ultimately asking the biggest question of all: Is America running out of time to fix what's broken?

Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET.

Brad is first joined by Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, an Immigration Attorney and Advocate. The pair discusses Trump's new efforts to block immigration from 19 countries he deemed 'high risk.'
Kate also explains the details of the U.S. Supreme Court agreeing to take up one of President Trump's most contentious policies by reviewing the American legal principle of "birthright citizenship," potentially upending a 127-year-old understanding of who gets to be a U.S. citizen. 
Kate and Brad also discussed how alarmingly frequent it has been for ICE to arrest and detain U.S. citizens for hours to even days, with some of them being assaulted in the process.

Then, Center for American Progress's Natasha Murphy talks with Brad about healthcare, including premiums that are set to skyrocket at the end of the month if Republicans refuse to extend ACA tax credits.
Natasha also breaks down why the Health Savings Account options, which many congressional Republicans are pushing as a replacement for ACA tax credits, do nothing to help pay for skyrocketing health insurance premiums themselves.

Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch is also the Owner and CEO of Lincoln-Goldfinch Law. Their website is www.LincolnGoldfinch.com. Kate's handle is @AttorneyKLG on X, @attorneykatelg on Instagram, and @abogadakate on TikTok.
Additionally, she's currently running for State Representative for Texas House district 50 as a Democrat.

Natasha Murphy is the director of Health Policy at American Progress, where she develops and advances policy proposals to lower health care costs and improve health care coverage, affordability, and quality.
