Episode 32 - Brian Rust

In this episode of The 850 Podcast, we’re joined by Brian Rust—longtime radio host, political commentator, and no-holds-barred voice in conservative media—for a wide-ranging and unscripted conversation about the state of the world, the media machine, and the challenge of staying informed in the chaos of modern life.

With decades behind the mic, Brian shares how he cuts through spin, keeps up with the nonstop news cycle, and strives to offer clarity for those who don’t have hours a day to stay informed. From culture wars and economic policy to military waste, misinformation, and media distrust, this episode is more than a political take—it’s a reality check on how average Americans are forced to rely on people like Brian to make sense of it all.
