Guest: Blooded The Brave - TikTok Ban, Fake Rebels, & the Music Industrial Complex

In this compelling episode of the Free Thought Project podcast, Jason and Matt are joined by hip hop artist and truth seeker, Blooded the Brave, also known as Kyle Reese. Reese has been a standout figure in the hip hop community, advocating for truth and hope through his powerful lyrics for nearly 2 decades. Today, we delve deep into the underlying issues fueling the border crisis—topics conspicuously absent from mainstream media discussions. The conversation then shifts to the drug war, illuminating its role in perpetuating and expanding the police state. 

We also discussed how Congress passed the "TikTok bill" which would give the government more power to thwart our first amendment right to free speech. We also went "into the weeds" about the fake rebel rappers, the historical context of the CIA and Laurel canyon, and the music industrial complex that co-opted the 60's "hippie movement."

Reese shares his insights on the trend of 'fake woke' rappers who claim grassroots authenticity, only to betray their listeners by luring them back into the matrix with their newfound fame. Moreover, Reese emphasizes the significance of engaging in open, respectful dialogues with individuals of divergent political ideologies, advocating for understanding and unity in a world often divided by beliefs. We ended by listening to Kyle's track "Ballad of The Brave." Join us for this enlightening discussion that goes beyond the surface to explore the depths of current societal challenges.

Guests: Patrick Smith & Jack V. Lloyd - The Principled Position On Borders - A Dave Smith Rebuttal

In this thought-provoking episode of the Free Thought Project podcast, hosts Jason and Matt are joined by Jack V. Lloyd and Patrick Smith for an in-depth discussion on the border crisis. The conversation delves into Comic Dave Smith's contentious stance on deploying the military to the border as a solution, a perspective our guests argue strays far from the core of libertarian principles. 

While acknowledging Dave Smith's alignment with libertarian views on numerous topics, they highlight the inconsistency and deviation from these principles in his border argument. The episode also addresses and debunks Smith's exaggerated claim that libertarians support allowing "crackheads" unrestricted access to public schools. 

Rather than criticizing Smith, the podcast aims to offer a balanced and rational exploration of true libertarian values, challenging the media's fear-driven narratives and emphasizing the importance of maintaining principled stances amidst sensationalism. Through engaging dialogue and thoughtful analysis, Jason, Matt, Jack, and Patrick navigate the complexities of border policy, libertarian ideology, and the pitfalls of straying into hyperbole and strawman arguments.
