With a unique background spanning military service and a deep dive into the world of finance, Tony has become a trusted voice on topics at the intersection of politics, history, and economics. As you'll see during the show, Tony is passionate about exposing the hidden agendas that shape our world and equipping listeners with knowledge to better navigate turbulent times.
We dive deep into the monetary challenges facing America, dissecting how the ruling elite have weaponized the dollar as a tool of global control. As America faces the consequences of these policies, Tony provides a perspective on how this financial reckoning has finally come to roost. We explore whether a shift in leadership—like Trump or his newly proposed cabinet—could make any real impact on inflation and the runaway fiat system that seems to spiral further out of control.
The conversation then turns to alternative financial systems like Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, discussing how they may serve as a hedge against impending economic chaos. Drawing from his extensive experience as a precious metals trader, Tony breaks down how gold and silver prices often act as indicators of economic instability and offers insight into how these metals can be used as tools of resistance against banking cartels and financial manipulation.
Tony wraps up the episode with a glimmer of optimism, leaving us with actionable solutions for those who wish to protect their wealth and resist the tide of centralized control. This is an episode filled with eye-opening insights, practical advice, and a much-needed dose of hope for what lies ahead in an unpredictable financial landscape.

In this exciting episode of The Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason and Matt sit down with two incredible advocates of Voluntaryism, Larken Rose and Etienne de la Boetie², to dive into the philosophy of living without rulers.
This is Larken's third time joining us on the podcast. For those unfamiliar, Larken is a renowned author, activist, and passionate voice in the Voluntaryist community. He’s best known for his groundbreaking book, The Most Dangerous Superstition, which challenges society’s blind obedience to government and authority. In his work, Larken exposes the deeply ingrained superstitions around the state's legitimacy that have resulted in centuries of suffering and oppression.
Joining him is Etienne de la Boetie², the founder of the Art of Liberty Foundation. Etienne is on a mission to expose the illegitimacy and criminal nature of government from a principled Voluntaryist perspective. He’s the author of the eye-opening book "Government" - The Biggest Scam in History... Exposed! and editor of the Art of Liberty Daily News on Substack and Five Meme Friday, which provides hard-hitting voluntaryist memes and alternative media gems.
Together, we dissect Voluntaryism in today’s society with two of the most qualified voices on the subject. Throughout the conversation, we reveal how people unknowingly participate in voluntary exchanges daily while turning a blind spot to the role of the state. This discussion is a must-listen for anyone ready to challenge their understanding of governance and embrace the principles of liberty, self-ownership, and peaceful cooperation.
Tune in to this deep dive into the world of Voluntaryism, and if you want to learn more, don’t forget to check out the Liberty on the Rocks conference this November in Sedona, AZ, where Larken and Etienne will continue spreading the message of freedom. (Length: 1:06:53)

On this week's episode of the Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason and Matt sit down with David Knight, a prominent voice in independent media and a fierce advocate for free speech. In this captivating conversation, we dive into the shocking revelation that helicopter pilots have been turned away by local law enforcement and FEMA officials from the Asheville recovery response, highlighting the challenges faced in times of crisis.
We also tackle the ever-growing issue of censorship, reflecting on how it has intensified since 2018 when David last interviewed us on Infowars. Despite Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter, which was hailed as a win for free speech, little seems to have changed in the landscape of online discourse.
Additionally, we explore the illusion of the two-party system and the facade of presidential voting, shedding light on the systemic issues that undermine true democratic choice. Most importantly, David shares the reasons behind his departure from Infowars, including his disillusionment with Alex Jones' support for Trump's vaccine policies and his cheerleading for Trump's presidency.
Join us for this eye-opening discussion as we navigate the intersections of media, politics, and the fight for truth and free speech in an increasingly polarized world.

In this compelling episode of The Free Thought Project podcast, hosts Jason, Matt, and Don sit down with constitutional activist Joshua Martinez to delve into his remarkable journey of standing up for his rights against formidable odds. Josh shares his intense and often harrowing experiences with law enforcement, detailing how his efforts to assert his constitutional freedoms led to a series of confrontations with the authorities.
He recounts how his activism put him on the radar of Detective Kenneth Mead, whom he says orchestrated efforts to disrupt his life and silence his voice. Josh discusses the events that led to his arrest on trumped-up charges, resulting in an astonishing $1 million bail. Despite being portrayed by the state as a dangerous domestic terrorist, he faced these allegations head-on in court.
Josh provides an inside look at his recent legal battle, which concluded just last week with a sentence of probation and a brief period of house arrest—far from the severe penalties the prosecution sought. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes the importance of knowing one's rights and the challenges that come with asserting them in the face of systemic resistance.
Ending on a positive and inspiring note, Josh reflects on the personal growth he experienced through these trials and reaffirms his commitment to activism and constitutional advocacy. His story is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring importance of civil liberties.
Over the years, The Free Thought Project has worked to cover Josh’s story when no one else would, standing with him in the face of a system that sought to silence him. While mainstream outlets only chose to smear him, we’ve continued to shine a light on the injustice he’s faced, fighting for the truth to be told. This episode is no exception, as we dig deeper into the broader issues of governmental overreach and individual rights—a conversation that resonates deeply with our mission.

Derrick is a stalwart of independent journalism, the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of the Conscious Resistance Network, and a long-time contributor to The Last American Vagabond. He's been a beacon of truth in an era of widespread misinformation and a close friend to our hosts. Derrick joins us to discuss some of the groundbreaking projects he's currently working on, including "The People's Reset," which offers a liberty-focused alternative to the elite's Great Reset.
Our conversation kicks off with a dive into 9/11, reflecting on its anniversary and examining the persistent activism that continues to seek the truth about that tragic day. Derrick shares his insights into the ongoing fight for transparency and accountability, highlighting the importance of never forgetting the foundational role this event has played in shaping global politics.
We then pivot to another pressing issue Derrick has been passionately advocating against—water fluoridation. We discuss his groundbreaking work in exposing the dangers of fluoride in our water supply, dissecting recent mainstream media coverage and their attempts to spin the narrative.
Next, we delve into "The People's Reset," an inspiring project Derrick is spearheading to help individuals navigate and thrive in today’s challenging economic landscape. It's a refreshing take on how we can resist and build alternative systems outside the control of globalist agendas. Derrick explains how "The People's Reset" aims to empower communities, fostering resilience and independence in the face of an uncertain future.

On this week's episode of the Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason and Matt sit down with Bess Byers, a dynamic entrepreneur and political advocate who’s made waves in both the cannabis industry and the realm of free-market libertarianism. Bess founded Blaise Creative, a cannabis marketing agency, in 2017, where she specialized in social media, content creation, and communications for companies passionate about the plant, patients, and pesticide-free products. But her journey took a challenging turn when her views on COVID—views that have since been vindicated—led to her being shamed out of the industry.
Fortunately, Bess bounced back and expanded her focus back into political work. She joined the team at Reason in 2021, where she contributes to their social media and vertical video efforts, advocating for free minds and free markets. Her powerful content has garnered millions of views and even caught the attention of members of Congress, the Senate, and international news outlets.
In this episode, we delve into Bess’s fascinating journey, from her early days in cannabis marketing to her impactful work at Reason. We explore the challenges she faced during the pandemic and how she has used her voice to stand up against the establishment narrative.
One of the major topics we tackle is the Orwellian nature of our modern police state, exemplified by Bess’s recent exposé for Reason Magazine on how your vehicle is spying on you. Your car is likely collecting and sending a treasure trove of private information to third parties, insurance companies, and other actors—all without your consent. We discuss the terrifying implications of this surveillance, why so many people seem indifferent to the invasion of their privacy, and, most importantly, how you can opt-out and reclaim your privacy.
Join us for this thought-provoking conversation as we navigate the intersections of technology, privacy, and the ever-growing police state, and learn from Bess how to fight back against these encroachments on our freedom.

With a passion for improving human well-being through open, honest conversations about sex and relationships, Chloe has become a prominent advocate for sexual wellness as a pathway to personal and societal betterment.
During the podcast, we dive deep into the importance of sexual wellness and its profound impact on making the world a better place. Chloe helps us explore the often-overlooked issue of sexual repression and how it has led to numerous societal problems, including the rise of violent porn, loneliness, relationship difficulties, and other pervasive issues.
We also take a fascinating look at the male infatuation with specific parts of the female body, examining the roots of these fixations in both biology and societal norms. Chloe offers incredible advice and mind-blowing perspectives on how understanding and being comfortable in your own body and mind can lead to healthier relationships, better communication, and a more fulfilled life.

On this week’s episode of the Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason and Matt welcome back one of our most respected and returning guests, Scott Horton, for the third time. Scott is the director of the Libertarian Institute, editorial director of Antiwar.com, and the host of Antiwar Radio on Pacifica, 90.7 FM KPFK in Los Angeles, California. He's also a prolific author with several must-read books, including Enough Already: Time to End the War on Terrorism and Fool’s Errand: Time to End the War in Afghanistan. His work is pivotal in educating and mobilizing countless individuals in the pursuit of peace and liberty.
In this episode, we commemorate the 32nd anniversary of the Ruby Ridge standoff—a dark chapter in American history where the government unleashed deadly force on a family simply trying to live off the grid. Scott gives us a detailed history of the event, followed by an exploration of how Ruby Ridge became the blueprint for the Waco siege and the tragedy of the Branch Davidians. But Scott doesn't stop there—he ties these historical events into a broader narrative, showing how the government has perfected its playbook of turning ordinary Americans into "domestic terrorists" through propaganda and setups.
From there, Scott connects the dots between these domestic tragedies and American foreign policy. He draws chilling parallels between the state’s tactics at Ruby Ridge and Waco and the actions of Israel in Gaza, where he argues that the Israeli government carries out the equivalent of 20 Ruby Ridges a day. Scott paints a vivid picture of how the military-industrial complex employs this same playbook of deception and violence across the globe to provoke and perpetuate foreign conflicts.
This episode is a sobering yet enlightening discussion that ties together historical events, current policies, and global conflicts, all through the lens of state violence and propaganda. Don't miss it! (Length: 1:11:09) Scott on Twitter: https://x.com/scotthortonshow

Despite facing numerous obstacles, Dylan had the courage to file as a conscientious objector and seek an honorable discharge. Dylan and Matt briefly share their experiences as veterans in military intelligence, offering insights into the challenges of breaking free from the system.
The conversation then shifts to Dylan’s work with the AV Super PAC and explores the nuanced and often controversial aspects of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign. We dissect the ongoing political puppet show between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, emphasizing how an independent candidate might actually bring about real change—something the establishment clearly fears, as evidenced by their efforts to marginalize such candidates.
As always, we wrap up on a white pill, discussing potential solutions to the chaos looming on the horizon as we approach the 2024 November election. This is an episode you won’t want to miss!

On this week's episode of the Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason and Matt sit down with Skot Sheller, a New Hampshire Free State Project advocate with a wealth of knowledge on Argentinian politics, economy, and culture. Skot’s wife hails from Argentina, and his father-in-law is a PhD Austrian economist, academic, and author in the country. Skot has been tracking the rise of Javier Milei since 2018, and he’s here to give us the lowdown on how Milei’s audacious libertarian and anarcho-capitalist stances are shaking things up.
During this episode, we dive deep into all things Javier Milei. Jason and Matt don’t hold back, throwing some tough, no-holds-barred questions at Skot about the real contradictions in Milei's approach—like how he advocates ending the state while using state mechanisms and coercion to achieve his goals. We also get into Milei’s involvement with the WEF and debunk some of the wilder conspiracy theories surrounding his political journey. The conversation explores the tightrope Milei walks as a libertarian anarcho-capitalist in a world dominated by statists.

On this week's episode of the Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason and Matt sit down with Ryan Cristián from The Last American Vagabond. Cristián is a recent recipient of the Serena Shim Award For Uncompromising Integrity In Journalism and has devoted much of his life to bringing Americans the transparency and accuracy they deserve in media.
Because Cristián does not toe the establishment line, this has put a target on his organization's back, and TLAV has been the subject of widespread censorship, demonetization, and slanderous fact checks.
In this episode, we delve into the recent assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump and the massive storm of disinformation surrounding the event. We discuss how supposed "truth tellers" have been sharing easily debunked false narratives just to get clicks. We examine Israel's influence over the United States government and pose this critical question to our listeners: "What has Israel ever done for the US?"
We talk about the horrifying war in Gaza and the slaughter of Palestinians by the IDF, highlighting how even Jews who stand against it are referred to as antisemitic. We scrutinize Trump's odd and suspect choice of JD Vance for his Vice President. Lastly, we discuss false heroes like Elon Musk, who pretend to stand for free speech while boosting talking heads that merely post rage clickbait and suppressing actual establishment-challenging narratives.
Join us for a thought-provoking and deeply insightful conversation with Ryan Cristián, as we peel back the layers of deception and strive to uncover the truth.

Ian gained national attention for his defiant stand against the state's COVID-19 restrictions, keeping his gym open despite the draconian mandates.
During the podcast, Ian shares his harrowing battle against the state, highlighting the hypocrisy of politicians who blatantly disregarded their own rules.

In this engaging session, we dive into the critical importance of not just owning but actively using cryptocurrency to safeguard personal financial sovereignty. Sal elucidates on the ominous reality of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and how they have empowered governments to potentially control individual financial transactions at an unprecedented scale.
We also explore a fascinating piece of libertarian history, discussing the possibility that the Libertarian Party was initially started as a humorous experiment by Samuel Edward Konkin III. Additionally, the conversation shifts to current global issues, where Sal critically analyzes the impact of anti-Israel protests, suggesting that they might be inadvertently escalating tensions rather than aiding Palestinian causes.
We also tackle the recent development with the global withdrawal of one of the COVID-19 vaccines. This episode is packed with critical analyses and thought-provoking dialogue that challenges conventional narratives and encourages listeners to think deeply about the direction in which our society and freedoms are headed. Join us for a deep dive into these pressing issues with one of the most articulate voices in the liberty movement.

Join Jason and Matt on the Free Thought Project podcast as they host Aaron R. Day, an experienced entrepreneur, investor, and passionate advocate for freedom and individual liberty. With a rich background in e-commerce, healthcare, blockchain, AI, and clean technology, and recognitions from major news outlets like Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and Fox News, Aaron brings a wealth of knowledge and insights. He discusses the looming threats posed by Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and the broader implications of digital monetary control.
In this episode, we delve deep into the mechanics and potential dangers of CBDCs, a digital form of money that Aaron argues could lead to unprecedented government control and surveillance. We discuss the recent arrest of cryptocurrency advocate Roger Ver and how it ties into the wider crackdown on digital currencies. Aaron provides compelling evidence of the establishment's drive toward CBDCs and shares his predictions for their rollout, which he believes could happen within the next six months without significant resistance.
Aaron doesn't just outline the problems; he also offers a vision for resistance and change. Advocating for boycotts over voting as a more effective strategy to combat digital tyranny, Aaron calls for a collective action to halt the advancement of CBDCs, prevent potential global conflicts, and preserve individual freedoms. This is an episode packed with critical information and actionable insights for anyone concerned about the future of liberty in an increasingly digital world.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Free Thought Project podcast, hosts Jason and Matt sit down with Jeremy Kauffman, an American entrepreneur and fervent political activist known for his pioneering work in blockchain technology with the creation of LBRY, a decentralized file-sharing platform. Kauffman, also a notable figure in the Libertarian Party and a former U.S. Senate candidate, shares his insights on the challenges of attempting systemic change from the federal level.
Throughout the episode, we delve into the successes of the Free State Project in New Hampshire, highlighting its role in fostering local change by uniting libertarians to influence local governance positively. Jeremy discusses his philosophy of localism as a more effective strategy for enacting freedom-oriented policies.
Additionally, we explore the controversy surrounding Jeremy, particularly how his provocative statements have been misconstrued in the media, as recently noted in a critical Mother Jones article. Despite these challenges, the conversation remains optimistic, focusing on the tangible successes of libertarian strategies at the local level and the potential for future victories in the fight for freedom. Join us for a dynamic discussion on the power of local activism and the enduring quest for liberty.
