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. (Length: 1:06:15)
