Abundance liberals want a politics focused on delivering more homes, energy projects, infrastructure, and innovation, and will even countenance deregulation to achieve it. Cato's Ryan Bourne talks to Ilya Somin and Jeremiah Johnson about whether libertarians should ally with this movement—or whether shared ground on housing, permitting, trade, and immigration masks irreconcilable disagreements over the role and size of government.

Dan from Pirate Chain joins the show to break down what makes Pirate Chain the most private cryptocurrency by any objective measure, what is coming with the new Unified Light Wallet, and why the project avoided the Zcash Orchard vulnerability entirely. Firo project steward Ruben Yap also weighs in with a detailed and honest breakdown of what actually happened with the Zcash exploit and what it means for the future of privacy protocol design. Sal and Mark also get into Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire, why the left fundamentally misunderstands wealth, and the economics of hoarding money in a way that will make your head spin. Then the show pivots to a genuinely alarming development: the UK's sweeping social media ban requiring facial recognition, banking data, or ID to access platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Sal and Mark break down why this has nothing to do with protecting children and everything to do with building a digital ID infrastructure for mass surveillance, and what tools you can use right now to fight back.

Jay Noone has built something most people only talk about: a real community of like minded families on a working farm in New Hampshire, where kids learn blacksmithing, animal butchering, diesel mechanics, and how to carry themselves as competent, self reliant people. Mark Edge caught up with Jay to talk about what it actually looks like to live free, from the nuts and bolts of homesteading to the deeper philosophy behind raising the next generation of useful, valuable, and competent people. They get into why New Hampshire's oversized legislature makes it nearly impossible to buy politicians, why useful, valuable, and competent people don't need government, and what vehicles you want when the grid goes down. Jay also breaks down Mancamp, his homeschool co-op which is also happening the week of PorcFest, where families come together to learn real world skills on the farm.

Mark is in Costa Rica, so Sal Mayweather and Free Talk Live veteran Wayne Quinn hold it down for a packed episode covering everything from the Zcash exploit to the future of financial privacy. Vic, CEO of CakeWallet, joins the show to break down the recent attacks on Zcash and ThorChain, why AI finding crypto exploits is actually a good thing, and what the Clarity Act could mean for self custody and open source development. He also gives a first look at Cupcake, CakeWallet's air gapped signing device that turns your old phone into a hardware wallet, and teases a brand new secret project dropping July 7th. Mark's interview with Andrew Heaton, author of Tribalism Is Dumb, rounds out the episode with a sharp and genuinely funny breakdown of why humans are wired for tribalism, how social media made it worse, and why AI might actually help dial it back. Sal also runs the Agorist segment, covering how to use privacy coins like Monero, Firo, Pirate Chain, and Zano for gray market trades and how to build real operational security in a world that is watching everything.

Richard Epstein takes on the growing obsession with billionaires, wealth taxes, and economic “justice,” arguing that making the rich poorer will not make the poor richer. Using Elon Musk's hypothetical trillionaire status as a jumping-off point, Epstein explains why great fortunes are usually tied up in productive enterprises, not bank vaults, and why efforts to […]
