The Free Thought Project Podcast

In this explosive episode, hosts Matt Agorist, Jason Bassler, and Don Via, Jr. sit down with forensic historian and Grand Theft World host, Richard Grove, to meticulously dissect the war machine's play-by-play. We start by exposing the Trump administration's aggressive seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker and the geopolitical calculations behind the current push for conflict.  Richard traces the deep state's involvement in the multinational drug trade, tying the current Venezuela narrative directly to the decades-old CIA drug trafficking history. We analyze the sheer hypocrisy of the establishment—including the Trump administration's pardon of a convicted Honduran drug-trafficking president—and reveal how international banking families leverage manufactured conflict to build a global machine for world domination. The conversation even takes a detour down JFK memory hole lane, followed by a look at the psychological tricks the establishment uses to keep the voting base blind, compliant, and consistently backing the very systems that enslave them. The episode pivots to a powerful account of individual agency, detailing the successful, personal campaign Richard and his wife led to free Mohammed Ibrahim, a 16-year-old American citizen who was abandoned by the State Department and held in a torturous IDF prison. Finally, we break down the current status of the political "liberty movement" and end on a solutions-based "White Pill" note, with Richard explaining how true freedom is achieved by claiming self-ownership and mastering practical skills instead of waiting for a political savior.

This week, hosts Jason Bassler, Matt Agorist, and Don Via Jr. are joined by author and researcher Gavin Nascimento, known for his deep historical analysis of elitism, world government, and control structures. We discussed the political theater surrounding DOGE and USAID, exposing how the "woke" cuts were a distraction while core functions, including ties to a global depopulation agenda, remained fully intact within the swamp. We then dug into the psychological warfare used by the elite—exploring Pavlovian techniques and historical social engineering—to keep the populace compliant, even when their leaders completely sell them out. Gavin took us on a historical trip from the Roman Empire to today, drawing direct parallels on how shadow governments operate outside the democratic process, sliding their tentacles into education and social engineering. Despite the heavy subject matter, we closed on two strong notes of agency: Gavin provided a roadmap for hacking the digital propaganda campaign to create our own narrative, and he laid out the plan for his new project, the Truth Warrior Academy, designed to teach listeners to fight back against psychological control.

This week, Jason, Don and Matt sit down with Gareth Icke, host of 'Gareth Icke Tonight' on the Ickonic Network and an outspoken voice for sovereignty and free speech. We start off and go deep into the mechanics of the new digital control grid. The conversation quickly connects the policing of speech to the economic endgame: the Digital ID rollout. Gareth dissects the terrifying implications of the Digital ID, explaining how it is the ultimate tool for centralized control, tying our speech to a social credit score that can result in financial execution—with even simple consumer actions like automated checkout lines becoming permissioned and human assistance disappearing. We then tie this in to the staggering UK statistic: over 12,000 arrests annually for "offensive" online speech, a chilling phenomenon used to scare people into speech compliance.  Despite this relentless pressure, we discuss how activists in the UK are pushing back and managing to break through the two-party political illusion, showing that resistance is possible. We explore the critical role of certain popular propagandists who rise to fame pretending to be the true resistance, only to fall in line and sell out their bases when actual noncompliance is required. The conversation gets personal as Gareth opens up about growing up in the unique environment of his family, discussing how the public scrutiny he faced made him and his family stronger and instilled a profound bravery. We end on a powerful white pill, as Gareth explains that the entire digital control system is defeated not by fighting politicians, but by tapping into a simple yet profound truth: personal sovereignty is the solution, and you are the answer.

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.

This week, Jason and Matt sit down with Stefan Molyneux, a philosopher, author, and host of one of the longest-running philosophy shows in the world, Freedomain. For decades, he has been a prominent voice in the liberty movement and a foundational thinker on the principles of peaceful parenting. The conversation kicks off immediately, jumping straight into one of the most polarizing topics on the right: the rise of Nick Fuentes. Jason asks Stefan for his take on the current brouhaha surrounding Fuentes's popularity and whether he sees parallels between the establishment's attack on Fuentes and the political persecution he himself faced years ago. We explore whether this signals a major shift in the culture—a new Gen Z political class that's rejecting sanitized talking points and demanding raw authenticity, even if it's inflammatory. From there, we dive into the mechanics of modern propaganda, using the recent Charlie Kirk "out of context" smear as a perfect case study of how the establishment manufactures its own reality. This leads to a raw discussion on the new political climate and the uncomfortable debate for all libertarians: pragmatism vs. principle. When does sticking to "libertarian purity" actually undermine the fight for liberty itself? Finally, after diagnosing a culture addicted to coercion, we pivot to the ultimate white pill: the solution. Stefan lays out how the principles of peaceful parenting are the fundamental antidote to this entire cycle, and gives his advice to parents trying to raise sovereign, resilient children in a post-truth world.

This week, Jason and Matt sit down with Mark Goodwin, the former Editor-in-Chief of *Bitcoin Magazine* and one of the sharpest minds in the crypto space. Mark is the author of "The Bitcoin-Dollar" thesis and a leading voice on the intersection of state power, financial control, and the future of money. We dive deep into one of the most dangerous psyops in modern finance: the stablecoin trap. Mark explains why "compliant," centralized stablecoins like USDC are not the free-market alternative to a CBDC, but are, in fact, *more dangerous*. They are the Trojan horse for the exact same surveillance grid—a CBDC in sheep's clothing, built by corporate partners and designed to be fully permissioned, frozen, and censored at the state's command. Mark breaks down the macro-picture, revealing how stablecoins backed by U.S. Treasuries are the empire's new, high-tech scheme to kick the can down the road. As the national debt hits escape velocity, the state is now "tokenizing its debt," creating a new digital wrapper to prop up the dollar ponzi. We explore the perfect bipartisan consensus that's building this digital prison: the MAGA right rails against CBDCs while embracing "federally approved" stablecoins, while the left demands the very regulations that make them instruments of surveillance. Both roads lead to the technocratic end-goal voiced by BlackRock's Larry Fink: the tokenization of *all* assets. We also explore the dark theory of whether Bitcoin itself was an intelligence agency "limited hangout" designed to herd us into a traceable system. Finally, we end on a powerful white pill. If centralized stablecoins are the trap, the only way out is through *permissionless* technology. We discuss the critical need for true privacy tools—like Monero, Zcash, and Zano's fUSD—that are *technologically incapable* of being co-opted, and how the market is finally waking up to the demand for real financial freedom.

This week, Jason and Matt go deep into the nature of reality itself with researcher Mark Gober. A former Silicon Valley partner and author of the An End to... "Upside Down" book series, Gober brings a data-driven case for the single most revolutionary—and dangerous—idea in the world: the brain does not create consciousness; it's a receiver for it. We explore how the entire establishment control system—from technocracy to the medical priesthood—is built on the opposite, "materialist" assumption: that you are a fragile meat-computer, a random accident living in a dead universe, and under constant attack from invisible threats. This is the foundation of the state's fear narrative, a narrative that makes a population powerless, obedient, and easy to control. This conversation shatters that old paradigm. If we are an interface for consciousness, who—or what—is transmitting the signal? Where does our "inner monologue" actually come from? We discuss the flawed "humanism" of tech billionaires like Peter Thiel, asking if "uploading" a mind to a computer is even possible, or if it's a technocratic pipe dream. The discussion goes further, exploring the undeniable intelligence of plants and the mycelial network, the mind-bending evidence from water crystallization experiments suggesting water responds to emotion, and the deep relationship between language and reality itself. This was a beautiful and profoundly optimistic conversation—a complete white pill from start to finish. We discuss where the latest, most cutting-edge science on Near-Death Experiences is now converging with the oldest spiritual teachings on the planet. This isn't just a philosophical conversation; it's a blueprint for the liberation of humanity. If we can unplug from the technocrat's fear frequency and tap into this shared reality, the entire "us vs. them" control system becomes obsolete. (Length: 1:04:08) Click Here to Support TFTP.

This week, Jason and Matt go down the rabbit hole with researcher and commentator Jacob Johnson, also known as @RiseToLiberty. Jacob is a fearless voice who specializes in dissecting the darkest tools in the state's arsenal: mind control, propaganda, and the sophisticated psychological operations used to keep the public divided and compliant. He brings a unique and unflinching perspective to subjects many are too afraid to touch. The conversation is a deep look at the war for your mind. We start by exploring the legacy of the CIA's MKUltra program, detailing its horrific experiments and making the case that these programs never stopped—they just got more sophisticated. Jacob explains how modern mind control is on full display in our political landscape, programming people to be blind to the crimes of their own "team" while being conditioned to never step in and solve problems themselves.  We then tackle one of the most censored topics in the mainstream media: the staggering link between mass shooters and psychiatric drugs like SSRIs, exposing the mountain of evidence that gets ignored in favor of the state's gun control narrative. Finally, after diagnosing the problem of weaponized fear, we explore the ultimate white pill: the power of building real-world, decentralized communities as the most effective antidote to top-down psychological warfare, effectively summed up in the phrase, "Stop Asking for Permission."

This week, Jason and Matt are honored to welcome a titan of the liberty movement, Dr. Mary Ruwart. A research scientist, acclaimed author of Healing Our World, and a tireless advocate for freedom for decades, Dr. Ruwart brings a lifetime of intellectual rigor and compassionate activism to the podcast. She is a factory for the ideas that can set us free. The conversation is a masterclass in voluntaryist solutions. We kick things off by dissecting the government-created nightmare of modern healthcare, using the recent Pfizer deal as a case study for the corrupt revolving door between the state and Big Pharma. From there, Dr. Ruwart makes the powerful case for a society entirely free from government coercion, explaining how peace and prosperity thrive where voluntary cooperation replaces the state's monopoly on violence.  We then dive into the crucial challenge of messaging: how do we make the principles of liberty and non-aggression appealing to a generation raised on state dependency? The discussion turns to the root of state indoctrination—government schooling—and how the philosophy of peaceful parenting is a radical act of defiance. Dr. Ruwart lays out a vision for a future of decentralized, private learning networks that could make the state's factory-schooling model obsolete.  The entire episode is a white pill, focusing on constructive, positive solutions, and we close by exploring the practical, agorist strategies that empower individuals to stop asking for permission and start building a freer world today.

This week, Jason and Matt welcome back a guest who has been on the front lines of the battle for police accountability for years—David, better known as San Joaquin Valley Transparency. Four years after his last appearance, we sit down to discuss the evolving landscape of citizen journalism and the ever-expanding police state under the current administration. The conversation kicks off with a dive deep into the political hypocrisy of the last few years, exploring how the right's brief awakening to the police state during COVID has evaporated, and how both political parties simply trade outrage-jerseys depending on who controls the White House. David gives us a crucial on-the-ground perspective from his community on the real-world impact of the recent ICE raids, cutting through the national media narrative. The discussion expands from the visible police on the street to the invisible digital panopticon of companies like Palantir, and we explore the chilling theory of a Hegelian dialectic—asking if social chaos is being deliberately engineered to make a frightened public beg for more control. David's evolution from a street-level auditor to an activist seeking systemic change at city council meetings is a powerful lesson in effective resistance. Despite the heavy subject matter, we close on a much-needed white pill for the future of liberty.

This week, Jason and Matt sit down with a member of the TFTP family, former journalist Kevin Whitson. After contributing hundreds of articles over six years, Kevin has channeled his journalistic and educational skills into a powerful new book, The Paranoid Mystic's Guide to Ending Addiction Now Using Psychedelics. Written after the tragic loss of his son to an overdose in 2020, Kevin's book is a tactical guide for individuals to reclaim their sovereignty from addiction using ancient plant medicines. In this episode, we kick things off by diving into the foundational steps in Kevin's guide—the radical act of reclaiming one's biology by fixing gut health, eliminating processed foods, and mastering sleep before ever touching a psychedelic. From there, we explore the different tools in the psychedelic arsenal, from psilocybin and cannabis as an "exit drug" to the heavy hitters like Ayahuasca and Ibogaine. This leads to a crucial discussion, with Matt sharing his own transformative experiences, about where to draw the line between a professionally guided ceremony and the sovereign individual's right to heal themselves at home. The conversation also touches on the deeply personal question of using these tools to navigate profound grief, before zooming out to pontificate on the real reason these substances are illegal—as a direct threat to a control system that thrives on a fearful and divided populace. This is a heavy and deeply personal conversation, but Kevin's resilience and dedication to empowering others is a true inspiration. Despite the dark subject matter, the episode itself is a powerful white pill for the future of cognitive liberty.

In this episode of The Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason, Don, and Matt sit down with Ben Swann — Emmy Award–winning journalist, founder of Truth in Media, and one of the most consistent independent voices in modern journalism. From his early Reality Check segments to his pioneering work today, Ben has built a reputation for exposing the narratives the establishment doesn’t want questioned. We dive straight into the assassination of Charlie Kirk, dissecting not just what happened, but the motives behind it. We discuss how the killing—carried out in public, on camera, and in front of hundreds of people—was designed to be the perfect catalyst for chaos, a statement or warning from likely professionals who knew exactly what effect it would have. From there, we shift to the Zarutska stabbing in Charlotte, showing how that tragedy too is being weaponized by the same interests to stoke hatred, deepen division, and create the kind of chaos that consolidates control. We also talk about Ben’s ongoing work with Truth in Media and the powerful projects they’re building for the future. Despite the dark subject matter, we closed on a positive note—Ben delivered a monologue that everyone needs to hear, a reminder of why we must resist division and cling to hope.

In this episode, we sit down with Chris Hunt, the mind behind The Code of the West. We talk about the decline in masculinity and the shifting roles of men and women, through the libertarian lens of leaving people alone. We dig into the tension between those who claim to embrace Western values but reveal themselves as openly racist — and how that undermines the very principles they claim to defend. From there, we move into social media and its corrosive effect on both younger and older generations, before plunging into the world of AI — its potential for liberation and for tyranny. Chris explains how he created his own large language model that abides by the Code of the West, a tool that reflects timeless values in a new age. Chris closes with a powerful, encouraging monologue that made a white pill unnecessary. This was a conversation outside our normal format — in the best possible way.

In this episode of the Free Thought Project podcast, Jason and Matt sit down with independent journalist 7sees, whose unique investigative style has been gaining serious attention. Known for his striking use of the Obsidian platform to create intricate “idea webs,” 7sees has developed a method of reporting that helps people connect the dots on everything from geopolitics to the technocratic rise of AI surveillance. We kick off by exploring Palantir and the tentacles it has spread throughout the world. We then dive into his process: why he chose Obsidian, how it shapes his journalism, and why visualization is such a powerful tool for truth-seeking. From there, we dive deep into money and control systems and the end game of the technocrats.  While some see cryptocurrency as the solution, 7sees argues both fiat and mainstream crypto are compromised — a point that leads us to discuss privacy tools like Zano and the broader fight for financial freedom. The conversation winds through dark but necessary territory: the surveillance state, the creeping technocracy, and how censorship and financial control are converging. Even when our perspectives diverge — like on barter as a solution — the discussion sparks new ways of thinking about how to resist authoritarian creep. We wrap with a challenge: if the technocratic police state is inevitable, what can we do to stave it off? And if we can’t stop it, how do we survive and escape? This is a thought-provoking and raw episode with one of the most unique voices in independent media.

In this episode, Jason and Matt welcome their friend Sterling Lujan — a libertarian communicator, author, cryptocurrency advocate, and public speaker known for blending philosophy, psychology, and blockchain technology into a compelling vision for human freedom. Sterling has been a prominent voice in the liberty and crypto movements for over a decade, speaking at conferences worldwide and writing extensively on voluntaryism, privacy, and the future of decentralized systems.  We dive deep into the current assault on financial freedom, starting with the recent Tether freeze of $24 million at the request of authorities and the long history of stablecoin issuers like Tether and Circle instantly seizing funds with no due process. Sterling helps us unpack how legislation like the Genius Act is creating a backdoor for CBDC-style control through government-compliant stablecoins — a rare point of bipartisan agreement in Washington that should raise red flags for anyone who values autonomy. From there, we discuss the case of Roman Storm, the Tornado Cash developer recently convicted of conspiring to operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business, and what this means for developers of privacy tools going forward. We explore the role of privacy coins like Zano in resisting state and corporate control, and how the Confidential Layer can offer a permissionless, private escape route from surveillance coins. Sterling also shares his thoughts on the philosophical drift of the crypto space, the importance of keeping liberty at the core of blockchain development, and the solutions individuals can embrace to push back against the rising tide of financial surveillance.

On this episode, Jason and Matt are joined by their close friend Luis Fernando Mises, along with Jennifer Gillis and Misty Brown, two tireless advocates with the American Kratom Association. Together, we dive deep into the criminalization of kratom — from Louisiana's looming ban to the federal government’s quiet war on natural medicine. Luis Fernando Mises is a consultant who teaches leadership across the U.S., a yoga and meditation teacher, a student of Austrian economics, a statesman with the Libertarian Party, a curandero, an entrepreneur, and a family man. He also runs a successful kratom business and brings rare clarity on both the plant and the marketplace. Misty Brown is a fierce kratom advocate and consumer who uses her voice to protect whole-leaf kratom and keep it legal and safe. Her work is personal — helping others fight addiction, chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. Jennifer Gillis has lived with chronic pain for 19 years. After finding real relief through kratom six years ago, she became a dedicated advocate, educator, and truth-teller who supports efforts to keep kratom accessible for all. We begin with the Louisiana ban, where Misty reveals troubling claims of bribery between a sheriff and a rehab clinic pushing the ban behind closed doors. From there, we move to the federal level — breaking down the media’s obsession with 7-OH (a lab-concentrated alkaloid being falsely labeled as “kratom”) and how it’s fueling disinformation, addiction, and panic. Luis gives clear and grounded advice on avoiding dangerous gas station extracts and choosing safe, whole-leaf kratom instead. We then explore the FDA’s alliance with Big Pharma, RFK Jr.’s recent crackdown on 7-OH, and how this could pave the way for a nationwide ban. We dive into Scott Gottlieb’s ties to GlaxoSmithKline, the push for synthetic patents, and the blatant monopolization of nature. Then we bring it home with a hard look at the horrors of prohibition through the heartbreaking stories of Shaina Brown and Marshall Price, two innocent people whose lives were upended — and in one case, ended — over this plant. We close with each guest offering real solutions and a final word of encouragement to the millions of Americans who use kratom safely, responsibly, and with purpose. This is a must-listen for anyone who cares about bodily autonomy, plant medicine, and the rising tide of pharmaceutical control.

In this powerful episode, Jason and Matt sit down with **Barrett Brown**—journalist, author, and one of the most persecuted truth-tellers of the digital age. A former spokesman for Anonymous and founder of Project PM, Barrett gained international attention for exposing the collusion between government surveillance agencies and private intelligence firms. For his efforts, he was targeted and imprisoned by the very system he sought to hold accountable. Together, we dive headfirst into the modern surveillance state—focusing on Palantir’s explosive expansion under both Trump and Biden. We unpack the disturbing roles played by Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and the MAGA crowd's blind embrace of tools they once feared. We dissect Musk’s contradictory posture—mocking the very machinery he’s actively building—and how this illusion of rebellion keeps both sides locked in digital chains. In the final segment, Barrett offers a sobering analysis of how the Anonymous movement has been co-opted by establishment forces and weaponized against real dissent. But we end on a high note—one that only someone who’s endured and survived the belly of the beast can deliver—with Barrett sharing a grounded, powerful insight into how we can still claw our way toward freedom.

Connor Boyack, creator of the wildly popular Tuttle Twins series, joins The Free Thought Project Podcast this week for an expansive, energizing conversation on liberty-based education, parenting in the surveillance age, and how to raise young minds that can think critically in a world full of propaganda. Inspired by the Ron Paul revolution, Connor shares the origin story of Tuttle Twins, a project that started with a simple idea: give kids the tools to understand freedom, economics, and government power before the system conditions them otherwise. Since then, his books have sold millions of copies, been translated around the globe, and adapted into an animated series now being aired by governments and networks worldwide. Connor walks us through the thinking behind these projects and how he balances complex political and economic themes with fun, engaging storytelling that kids actually want to read. We discuss titles like The Creature from Jekyll Island and The Fate of the Future, and ask Connor which books he thinks have been the most impactful—and why. Then the conversation shifts to today’s battleground: the digital domain. We ask how parents can protect their children’s minds and privacy as they're increasingly targeted by algorithmic dopamine loops, doomscrolling, and even AI tools marketed as “friends” or “therapists.” We also explore the darker realities of flock cameras, Palantir data fusion hubs, and the emerging technocratic surveillance grid—and what it all means for the next generation. Finally, we close with our signature “white pill” segment, where Connor offers one of the most grounded and hopeful answers we’ve heard yet: that connection—with our kids, at the dinner table, in real conversation, is the antidote to indoctrination. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who cares about the future of liberty, parenting, or resisting the growing mental control matrix of the modern world.

Rachel Blevins returns to The Free Thought Project Podcast this week for a hard-hitting, unfiltered conversation about the state of U.S. foreign policy, media manipulation, and what we can do to push back. A former editor and journalist for TFTP, Rachel has since built a powerhouse independent journalism career, reporting on war, corruption, and censorship with the precision of an entire news agency.  In this episode, Matt, Jason, and Don dive right into the war in Ukraine, where Donald Trump has once again flipped the script. After campaigning on his ability to “end the war in 24 hours,” he’s now promising to send more weapons—breaking yet another key promise and reigniting questions about where he truly stands. From there, we shift to the 12-day war between Israel and Iran and the very real potential for regional—or even global—escalation. Rachel breaks down how the U.S. quietly inserted itself into the conflict and points out something few are willing to say: while many people think Israel controls U.S. foreign policy, it’s often the U.S. that has long-term war plans in motion. Iran, as Rachel reminds us, has been on the Pentagon’s hit list for decades. The conversation then moves to another major betrayal—Trump’s broken promise to release the Epstein files. With the new narrative that “the files don’t exist” and that it’s time to move on, we examine the timing and motives behind this abrupt reversal.

G. Edward Griffin needs little introduction—at 93, this author, documentary filmmaker and founder of Unfiltered Media has spent more than half a century exposing hidden power, most famously in The Creature from Jekyll Island, where he traced the secret meeting that birthed the Federal Reserve. In this episode of The Free Thought Project Podcast, Matt Agorist, Jason Bassler and Don Via Jr. sit down with Griffin to map the banking cartel’s century-long blueprint for control and plot how we break its chokehold. We launch into the 1910 rendezvous on that remote Georgia island—no hearings, no debate—where a cabal of bankers and politicians sketched out the Fed, then fast-forward to today, as Griffin pulls back the curtain on how the same elites are weaponizing digital currencies, surveillance algorithms and predictive analytics to usher in a technocratic state. He lays bare their endgame: collapse the old order and herd us into a system of total oversight, where every dollar and dissenting thought is tracked. But this isn’t just an economic exposé. We dive into the philosophical roots of our engineered society—how a government stripped of principle by design has betrayed the founders’ grand experiment in liberty—and ask what it will take to reawaken those checks and balances before they’re gone for good. As the clock winds down, Griffin shares his vision for the Red Pill Expo, a gathering meant to spark a new revolution of truth-seekers. And just when you think you’ve heard it all, we hit you with one of Griffin’s own truths as our white-pill moment: a reminder that the fight demands action now, or the price of victory will only climb. His answer—about the decision he’s making in this very moment and the step each of us must take before this episode ends—is one you won’t want to miss.
