Guest Ben Swann - Assassination, Algorithms & Hegelian Dialectic: Decoding Charlie Kirk’s Death

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. (Length: 1:06:58)
