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. (Length: 1:12:02)
