Kibbe believes that honest conversations, driven by intellectual curiosity and mutual respect, can ignite a new revolution of free thinking and a willingness to question the official narrative. That means talking, and listening, to a wide variety of people outside the echo chamber of officially sanctioned experts. Kibbe on Liberty's guests include politicians, economists, musicians, comedians, writers, radio personalities, activists, journalists, and even magicians—with topics of conversation ranging from current affairs to obscure philosophy, from craft beer to the Grateful Dead. Cold one in hand, settle in for the next brain-stimulating hour of Kibbe on Liberty. As the president of Free the People, Kibbe has decades of experience in the libertarian political sphere. He is the author of three books, including Don’t Hurt People and Don’t Take Their Stuff, a #2 NY Times Best Seller. Kibbe is a fanatical DeadHead, drinker of great whisky, and collector of obscure books on Austrian economics.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-02T20:21:19.986071+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/kibbe-on-liberty-687266"},"episode":{"title":"Ep 396 | Democracy Is a Fraud | Guest: Patrick Byrne","slug":"ep-396-democracy-is-a-fraud-guest-patrick-byrne","published_at":"2026-07-22T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/kibbe-on-liberty-687266/ep-396-democracy-is-a-fraud-guest-patrick-byrne","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/kibbe-on-liberty-687266","url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/pfx.vpixl.com/4V6da/arttrk.com/p/BLZM1/verifi.podscribe.com/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/285/pscrb.fm/rss/p/chrt.fm/track/1655CF/cohst.app/pdcst/5I2S5F/traffic.megaphone.fm/BMDC7749168882.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/pfx.vpixl.com/4V6da/arttrk.com/p/BLZM1/verifi.podscribe.com/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/285/pscrb.fm/rss/p/chrt.fm/track/1655CF/cohst.app/pdcst/5I2S5F/traffic.megaphone.fm/BMDC7749168882.mp3","summary":"If voting made any difference, they wouldn't let us do it! This oft-repeated indictment of democracy, or at least the illusion of democracy, is gaining traction among a number of Americans, not least of which is Overstock.com founder Patrick Byrne, who sat down with Matt Kibbe at this year's FreedomFest conference in Las Vegas. Byrne claims that, as a former CIA asset, he has knowledge that the voting machines used in American elections are not secure and have in fact been used by American intelligence agencies to influence the outcome of elections, not just in this country, but in 72 others around the globe.","meta_description":"If voting made any difference, they wouldn't let us do it!
