In this riveting episode of the Free Thought Project Podcast, hosts Jason and Matt are joined by Austin Petersen, the dynamic host of the Wake Up America show and 2016 runner-up for the Libertarian Party's presidential nomination. Today's discussion dives deep into the turbulent waters of infighting within the Libertarian Party, exploring its historical roots and the detrimental impact it has on the party’s success and unity. Austin sheds light on the crucial need for members to set aside petty disagreements to champion the broader cause of liberty—a task easier said than done. 

Additionally, the conversation takes a critical turn as Austin addresses comments made by NPR's CEO, Katherine Maher, regarding the First Amendment and its "limitations" on Big Tech's regulation of speech. Austin's perspective on employing tactics traditionally used by the left in political battles sparks a thought-provoking conversation on strategy and principles. Despite differing viewpoints, this episode stands as a testament to the power of respectful and constructive dialogue in pursuing common goals of liberty and peace. Join us for an episode that not only challenges the status quo but also reaffirms our commitment to advancing freedom through understanding and collaboration. (Length: 1:25:38)
