On this week’s episode of the Free Thought Project podcast, Matt Agorist and Jason Bassler sit down with Dylan Schmidt, a digital strategist, founder of Digital Podcaster, and the creator behind Content Clips. Dylan has recently become a vital voice in the liberty movement, known best for his sharp, accessible analysis of the modern surveillance state. He specializes in taking complex, dystopian developments—from AI drag-nets to data harvesting—and breaking them down into digestible, viral content that reaches people far outside the usual echo chambers.

The conversation begins with Dylan’s origin story, exploring the moment he began to see the system for what it actually is and the compulsion he felt to use his platform to wake others up. We discuss the terrifying new reality of ICE asserting the authority to enter private homes without a judicial warrant—and the disturbing apathy from the public regarding this death blow to the 4th Amendment. Dylan provides a brilliant analogy to explain this shift, comparing the government’s encroachment on rights to a "private equity firm taking over your favorite restaurant," gutting the quality and soul while retaining the brand name. We also cover the grim irony of the police state eating its own tail, highlighting recent reports of ICE agents detaining and profiling local police officers.

Later in the show, we shift gears to the machinery of control. We dive into Palantir, the tax-funded leviathan of spying that is mapping our lives in real-time, and discuss the dual-edged sword of Artificial Intelligence. We also tackle the myth of crypto privacy, exposing how companies like Chainalysis are tracking "establishment wallets" and what steps you can take to break free from this financial panopticon. Finally, we discuss the rise of Flock safety cameras and how to resist them, before closing with a powerful "White Pill" on why maintaining your composure, connecting with nature, and refusing to participate in online hate is the ultimate act of rebellion.

Dylan Allman is a writer, conscientious objector, and liberty activist. A former soldier who broke free from military indoctrination, he now focuses his work on techno-optimism, individual liberty, and exposing the machinery of the state. He writes at the Interlinked Substack and is a vocal critic of the "Uniparty" establishment. In this episode of the Free Thought Project podcast, we are joined by Dylan to dissect the terrifying and rapid expansion of the police state under the guise of "Operation Metro Surge." We dive deep into the blinding hypocrisy of the modern political divide, examining how the "MAGA" right has pivoted from decrying the "Deep State" under Biden to cheering on federal jackboots now that their party holds the leash. We break down the recent tragedy in Minnesota, where Renee Good—an American citizen and legal observer—was gunned down by ICE agents and subsequently branded a "domestic terrorist" by the administration to cover their tracks. We also analyze the viral footage of an innocent American citizen being detained and disarmed by federal agents simply for "looking" like a suspect, asking the hard question: Does the Second Amendment even exist if the state can strip you of it on a hunch? Finally, we explore the "divide and conquer" trap that has the working class fighting each other instead of the technocrats building their prison. We close the show with a powerful "White Pill" solution from Dylan, offering a simple yet profound path toward de-escalating the madness and rebuilding a free society through empathy.

On this episode of the Free Thought Project podcast, Matt and Jason are joined by returning champion Aaron Day for his fourth appearance on the show. Day is a liberty activist, entrepreneur, and author. He is the Chairman of the Stark360 PAC and has been a prominent voice in the Free State Project. His latest ventures include his 2026 U.S. Senate run to promote liberty from the inside and Oasara, a counter-economy solution to medical tyranny.

We kick off the conversation with Aaron’s controversial new bid for U.S. Senate in New Hampshire. Aaron explains why he is entering the belly of the beast and how he plans to use the platform not to govern, but to promote voluntaryist values and expose the two-party paradigm as a criminal enterprise.

The discussion then turns to the state of political prisoners in the West. We break down the "ransom" of Roger Ver—who was effectively extorted for millions to avoid a cage—and discuss the ongoing persecution of privacy pioneers like Ian Freeman and Roman Storm. This bleeds into a critical look at the state of crypto, how Bitcoin has been "hijacked" by institutional interests, and why the EU is terrified of true privacy coins.

Later, we pivot to the solutions: Medical Freedom. Aaron unveils his new project, Oasara, a medical tourism marketplace designed to help people escape the U.S. healthcare price-gouging (where markups can hit 10,000%). He debunks the myths that "cheaper means worse," explains how AI and privacy are being integrated into patient care, and shares his vision for a parallel health system.

We also touch on Aaron’s creative side, discussing his eye-opening AI-generated music, before wrapping up with a unique "White Pill" on finding the leverage to dismantle tyranny. Click Here to Support TFTP.
