John Rush host of Rush To Reason

Guests & Topics

01:10 Sunny Kutcher and Allison Rogers from Young Americans Against Socialism will be partaking in Constitution Week at Grand Lake. They discussed their new resource, From Revolution to the Constitution: America’s Quest for Liberty

04:25 John shares a story about a North Korean immigrant whose family fled to America, highlighting the value of freedom and the dangers of communism.

07:30 Free speech is under threat in today’s America, especially on college campuses and in workplaces.

07:50  Hillary Clinton’s push to jail Americans for misinformation led to a discussion on the importance of the First Amendment. John questions who has the right to determine what qualifies as misinformation and emphasizes that citizens, not the government, should decide the validity of speech.

13:17 Marxism is identified as the root of communism, which seeks to control speech, property, and people’s movements. The current political discourse around equity and equal outcomes is linked to communism, and it is stressed that communism has consistently failed wherever it has been tried.

15:45 Sunny and Allison advocate for economic independence and capitalism, explaining that it allows individuals to pursue different life goals, whether aiming for wealth or simply seeking personal contentment.

18:05 Sunny Kutcher left her entertainment career to focus on grassroots campaigns, driven by her passion for preserving American freedoms. She joined Young Americans Against Socialism (YAAS). Allison Rogers, who met Sunny at a pro-freedom rally during COVID, also left her previous career due to conflicting beliefs. After connecting with YAAS founder Morgan Zeggers, she became her assistant and recently took over as CEO.

21:08 Sunny and Allison’s work gives young people hope by showing them they are not alone in their values. Their global experience in London revealed that the fight for freedom is widespread, with advocates from 34 countries striving to protect liberty.

31:10 America stands apart due to its Constitution and Bill of Rights, which protect God-given rights that many other countries lack. There is a misconception that the U.S. is a democracy when, in fact, it is a constitutional republic, a critical distinction that prevents mob rule. The electoral system, notably the Electoral College, ensures fairer representation. If states applied similar systems locally, outcomes might better reflect the true interests of their communities.

33:51 The rise of career politicians, something the Founding Fathers likely never anticipated, underscores the modern need for term limits. Originally, political service was seen as a temporary duty to one’s community.

41:13 John reflects on how he had to learn political knowledge through his radio show and stresses that YAAS resources would have been valuable for both young people and adults. Sunny and Allison highlight how families benefit from using the materials to initiate meaningful conversations about American values and global issues like communism.

43:36 YAAS’s guide emphasizes the contrast between American consumer freedom and scarcity in socialist countries. Sunny and Allison discuss how survivors of socialism are astonished by the abundance in America, while some young liberals advocate for limiting choices to curb capitalism.

 HOUR 2

01:10 Brian Reisinger, author of Land Rich, Cash Poor: My Family’s Hope and the Untold History of the Disappearing American Farmer. The hidden history of an economic and cultural crisis that is threatening our very food supply—the disappearance of the American farmer. 

15:29  Kamala wants to search your home. Kamala the Marxist. Can a Christian vote for Kamala. 

29:37 John called in about why there is a lack of civil conversations.

Trump is coming to Aurora. 

HOUR 3

01:10 Kurt Rogers, Affordable Interest Mortgage, joined John Rush to discuss the impact of the recent 0.5% rate cut by the Fed on the mortgage and housing market. They tackled key questions, such as what this rate drop means for future changes, how long you should wait to purchase or refinance, and how lower rates might affect home sales and values. Kurt also addressed speculation about rates potentially reaching the mid-4% range and explained what’s as important as the interest rate when considering a mortgage, including the often misunderstood APR.
