Political views
Smith is a member of the Mises Caucus of the Libertarian Party.[10][20][21][22][23] Smith said in a 2017 Reason interview that he "became a libertarian through the Ron Paul movement".[24] He has opposed what he sees as big tech hegemony, describing it as "the biggest threat to liberty" aside from the "tyranny of COVID-19".[25] He said to Reason in 2021 that he did not plan to vaccinate himself or his child against COVID-19.[25][15] Reason described him as "a vocal opponent of wokeness and political correctness".[25] An admirer of the anarcho-capitalist economist Murray Rothbard, he told Reason that like Rothbard he would abolish government if he could.[26]
Smith has been noted for interviews with far-right figures such as Gavin McInnes,[27][28] Nick Fuentes, Richard Spencer, and Christopher Cantwell.[27][29][11] Smith has called Fuentes a "fellow traveler", according to the SPLC.[11] In 2021, The New Republic called Smith "a Nazi sympathizer".[27] The SPLC noted that Smith is Jewish and has disagreed with far-right figures on the creation of a white ethnostate and the alt-right's tactics.[29] Debating with Fuentes, the SPLC said, Smith argued for "hard-right libertarian viewpoints".[29]
Personal life
Smith has two children with his wife.[13]
