Rip and company discuss how appropriate stress forces adaptation that drives phenotypic change. Progressive increases over time produce strength, size, and capability.

Rip talks with author Auron MacIntyre about his book, “The Total State.” The discussion delves into the manipulation of news events, media bias, and the shifting powers within the government. MacIntyre, drawing from his experiences as a journalist, sheds light on the relentless assault on truth and the erosion of individual liberties. Rip and MacIntyre explore the critical questions raised in the book, such as the role of democracy in expanding government power and the effectiveness of the Constitution in restraining it.
