Hillary Clinton calls the Electoral College an "abomination" — but somehow never complained about it while she was campaigning for 270 electoral votes and skipping Wisconsin. Jemele Hill insists the Electoral College is "rooted in slavery," then quietly walks it all the way back the second Jason Rantz lays out the actual history on CNN. Plus Kamala Harris resurfaces to dodge whether she'd kill the Electoral College, then delivers an all-time word salad about "hope" being a verb and "a lot of debris."

What if aging isn't inevitable — it's just your body losing the ability to repair itself? Live from the Beyond Biohacking Conference in Austin, Jason Rantz sits down with Christian Drapeau, the scientist and stem cell pioneer behind Stemregen. For nearly 30 years, Drapeau has championed a radical idea once dismissed by mainstream science: that your own stem cells are your body's natural repair system — and that releasing more of them, without injections or needles, could be the key to fighting aging and chronic disease. In this interview, Drapeau breaks down what stem cells actually do, why they decline as we age, and how endogenous stem cell mobilization differs from costly stem cell injections. He shares jaw-dropping early results from his clinical studies on congestive heart failure and Parkinson's disease, explains why academia and conventional medicine lag behind the science, and details exactly how Stemregen's plant-based approach works in the body within hours. If you care about longevity, regenerative medicine, biohacking, or simply staying healthier longer, this conversation will change how you think about your body's ability to heal itself.
From the Beyond Biohacking conference in Austin, Texas, Jason Rantz talks with Puori founder Oliver Amdrup about supplement purity, focused on omega-3s and whey protein.
Jason Rantz sat down with Rowena Gates, co-founder of Seattle-based Eng3 Corporation, at the Beyond Biohacking Conference to talk about NanoVi — the device designed to support your body's natural cellular repair process. Rowena breaks down how damaged proteins contribute to aging and disease, how NanoVi's bio-identical signal helps the body correct that damage, and why biohackers and elite athletes are paying attention. Jason, a NanoVi user himself, gets into the practical side: how to use it, what to realistically expect, and who it's for.
