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.

In this explosive episode, hosts Matt Agorist, Jason Bassler, and Don Via, Jr. sit down with forensic historian and Grand Theft World host, Richard Grove, to meticulously dissect the war machine's play-by-play. We start by exposing the Trump administration's aggressive seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker and the geopolitical calculations behind the current push for conflict.

Richard traces the deep state's involvement in the multinational drug trade, tying the current Venezuela narrative directly to the decades-old CIA drug trafficking history. We analyze the sheer hypocrisy of the establishment—including the Trump administration's pardon of a convicted Honduran drug-trafficking president—and reveal how international banking families leverage manufactured conflict to build a global machine for world domination. The conversation even takes a detour down JFK memory hole lane, followed by a look at the psychological tricks the establishment uses to keep the voting base blind, compliant, and consistently backing the very systems that enslave them.

The episode pivots to a powerful account of individual agency, detailing the successful, personal campaign Richard and his wife led to free Mohammed Ibrahim, a 16-year-old American citizen who was abandoned by the State Department and held in a torturous IDF prison. Finally, we break down the current status of the political "liberty movement" and end on a solutions-based "White Pill" note, with Richard explaining how true freedom is achieved by claiming self-ownership and mastering practical skills instead of waiting for a political savior.

This week, hosts Jason Bassler, Matt Agorist, and Don Via Jr. are joined by author and researcher Gavin Nascimento, known for his deep historical analysis of elitism, world government, and control structures.

We discussed the political theater surrounding DOGE and USAID, exposing how the "woke" cuts were a distraction while core functions, including ties to a global depopulation agenda, remained fully intact within the swamp. We then dug into the psychological warfare used by the elite—exploring Pavlovian techniques and historical social engineering—to keep the populace compliant, even when their leaders completely sell them out. Gavin took us on a historical trip from the Roman Empire to today, drawing direct parallels on how shadow governments operate outside the democratic process, sliding their tentacles into education and social engineering.

Despite the heavy subject matter, we closed on two strong notes of agency: Gavin provided a roadmap for hacking the digital propaganda campaign to create our own narrative, and he laid out the plan for his new project, the Truth Warrior Academy, designed to teach listeners to fight back against psychological control.

This week, Jason, Don and Matt sit down with Gareth Icke, host of 'Gareth Icke Tonight' on the Ickonic Network and an outspoken voice for sovereignty and free speech. We start off and go deep into the mechanics of the new digital control grid.

The conversation quickly connects the policing of speech to the economic endgame: the Digital ID rollout. Gareth dissects the terrifying implications of the Digital ID, explaining how it is the ultimate tool for centralized control, tying our speech to a social credit score that can result in financial execution—with even simple consumer actions like automated checkout lines becoming permissioned and human assistance disappearing. We then tie this in to the staggering UK statistic: over 12,000 arrests annually for "offensive" online speech, a chilling phenomenon used to scare people into speech compliance.

Despite this relentless pressure, we discuss how activists in the UK are pushing back and managing to break through the two-party political illusion, showing that resistance is possible. We explore the critical role of certain popular propagandists who rise to fame pretending to be the true resistance, only to fall in line and sell out their bases when actual noncompliance is required.

The conversation gets personal as Gareth opens up about growing up in the unique environment of his family, discussing how the public scrutiny he faced made him and his family stronger and instilled a profound bravery. We end on a powerful white pill, as Gareth explains that the entire digital control system is defeated not by fighting politicians, but by tapping into a simple yet profound truth: personal sovereignty is the solution, and you are the answer.

This week, Jason, Don and Matt sit down with a giant of the liberty movement, the founder of the Brownstone Institute, Jeffrey Tucker.

Jeffrey kicks things off by discussing his relationship with our previous guest, Stefan Molyneux, which leads into a candid conversation about his own intellectual shift over the last decade. He explains how he moved from the black-and-white world of pure anarchism to a more nuanced perspective on complex issues like immigration. This candor sets the stage for a raw discussion on the profound cognitive dissonance in modern politics. We explore how the Trump administration is openly selling out its base with tariffs and new stimulus checks, creating a massive divide within the MAGA movement. Jeffrey offers his take on the psychology of what causes people to continue supporting a system that is so openly exploiting them, and we examine Trump's cozy relationship with the very technocrats he claims to fight, like Peter Thiel.

This theme of co-option pivots the conversation to the financial endgame: the hijacking of Bitcoin. We break down the news of the first-ever central bank—the Czech National Bank—purchasing Bitcoin alongside US dollar-backed stablecoins. This isn't adoption; it's the establishment hijacking the "Bitcoin" brand to legitimize their real goal: a world of regulated stablecoins and total financial surveillance. We connect this directly to BlackRock's plan for the "tokenization of everything" and their mission to buy the world. We also touch on the internal crypto civil wars, discussing Roger Ver and why he's a target of the Bitcoin maximalists.

It's a wide-ranging conversation on the nature of statist co-option, but we end on a powerful white pill, as Jeffrey reminds us that the solution to this high-tech tyranny is a classic one.

This week, Jason and Matt sit down with Stefan Molyneux, a philosopher, author, and host of one of the longest-running philosophy shows in the world, Freedomain. For decades, he has been a prominent voice in the liberty movement and a foundational thinker on the principles of peaceful parenting. The conversation kicks off immediately, jumping straight into one of the most polarizing topics on the right: the rise of Nick Fuentes. Jason asks Stefan for his take on the current brouhaha surrounding Fuentes's popularity and whether he sees parallels between the establishment's attack on Fuentes and the political persecution he himself faced years ago. We explore whether this signals a major shift in the culture—a new Gen Z political class that's rejecting sanitized talking points and demanding raw authenticity, even if it's inflammatory. From there, we dive into the mechanics of modern propaganda, using the recent Charlie Kirk "out of context" smear as a perfect case study of how the establishment manufactures its own reality. This leads to a raw discussion on the new political climate and the uncomfortable debate for all libertarians: pragmatism vs. principle. When does sticking to "libertarian purity" actually undermine the fight for liberty itself? Finally, after diagnosing a culture addicted to coercion, we pivot to the ultimate white pill: the solution. Stefan lays out how the principles of peaceful parenting are the fundamental antidote to this entire cycle, and gives his advice to parents trying to raise sovereign, resilient children in a post-truth world.
