Vaccine passport initiatives are underway. Barry Farah mentions 18 initiatives in this episode. Fox News Contributor Rachel Campos-Duffy joins Barry for this discussion on vaccine passports. Many countries are warming up to the idea, warning that those without a vaccine passport could be banned from many aspects of life, such as flying on commercial airlines, working, attending school, and more. There is pushback by some, like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). Rachel Campos-Duffy challenges the imposition of passports, asserting that they could be a sign that social scoring, as found in China, would be utilized in the U.S. and other countries through the passports. Catch this full episode for all the details on the probability and problems of vaccine passports.

In Episode 28, Barry Farah introduces a new form of tyranny experienced from the consortium of big biz, big gov, and big tech. Increasingly these entities have been party to the canceling, doxxing, and censoring of Americans, despite constitutional protections. The constitution clearly supports freedom of speech and yet everyday people are losing their jobs or being shamed in school because of their conservative beliefs. Barry Farah looks at this in light of historical tyrants who sought to silence their detractors whose only crime was speaking out on behalf of freedom.

In Episode 26, Barry Farah interviews five student leaders at Turning Point USA's 2020 Student Action Summit. These GenZ leaders share their experiences of being persecuted for their conservative beliefs. Teachers and administrators in public schools across the country dox and shame these students while openly embracing and promulgating leftist ideology and canceling conservative and Christian ideas and lifestyle. You won't want to miss these stories the stories of these student leaders who stand strong in the face of this opposition.

Only 2% of millennials believe the Bible is a reliable source of truth. In Episode 25, Barry Farah explains why you can trust the Bible and be confident that it is true. He makes the case for the Bible using logic, probability theory, and history. For example, there are over 2500 prophecies in the Bible and 2,000 of them have come to pass so far which means the Bible is more reliably true than the second law of thermodynamics. Barry Farah also urges listeners to consider whether their rejection of the Bible is based on a negative emotional experience with the way someone used the Bible, versus the Bible itself.

In Episode 23 of Culture Shift, Barry Farah’s takes a look at a recent report from the CDC with an explicit data-based admission that the campaign to control people was not that effective. In fact, the mask mandates did little to impact the COVID death rate. Rather, a much-ignored factor in the worldwide death rate recently saw the light of day, and that is the connection between obesity and mortality. Barry Farah quotes the CDC itself as he shines a spotlight on the failure of masks and other hyper-controlling mandates that have had little impact on how the pandemic has played out over the last year.

In this episode, Barry Farah provides insight into why a nationally set minimum wage does not help entry-level workers. Barry discusses how the percent of employees in the workforce that are at the minimum wage level has steadily declined for decades and now only represents 1.9% of workers. Barry Farah gives detailed information on what many on Capitol Hill call a “huge problem” is only applicable to 1.9% of today’s workers. Barry gives numerous examples of why a federally mandated minimum wage will hurt businesses, will not help employees, and is a solution in search of a problem.

Barry Farah continues interviews with the next generation of leaders at the TPUSA Student Action Summit in 2020 discussing a range of topics including education, the media, faith and freedom of religion. Barry interviewed Melissa who is from Florida who is 23. Melissa was a broadcast journalist major and shares how she was censored in college by her professors. Barry Farah and Melissa discuss her stance in favor of a robust discussion in the media in order to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Barry Farah reviews executive orders signed by the new POTUS in 2021, illuminating the role of executive authority according to the U.S. Constitution and how it differs from that of the former British monarchy. Barry goes through the first X orders and explains what they mean for us as citizens and their impact on business, the economy, the military, and more. Barry Farah refers to Alexander Hamilton’s writings in the Federalist paper in comparing the new U.S. Constitutional system and the role of the executive branch. He describes how past presidents utilized executive orders, and how the number of E.O.s issued varies greatly throughout U.S. history. Finally, Barry Farah reveals the ongoing debate over whether or not the executive branch has too much power or not enough in American politics.

In this episode, Barry Farah breaks down House Bill 5, known as the Equality Act. The Equality Act does a search and replace on the 1964 Civil Rights Act, swapping LGBTQ rights for minority rights mentioned in the 1964 Act. But it goes beyond the Civil Rights Act to grant not only equal rights, but special rights. Barry Farah explains how the Equality Act, under the guise of removing discrimination against the LGBTQ community, infringes on the freedoms of others. Barry describes how the Equality Act effectively ends women’s sports as biological males who identify as trans or female must be allowed to compete in women’s sports, for example. It would require businesses and nonprofits to hire trans individuals for reasons other than being qualified for the job. Barry Farah shows how the Department of Justice would be empowered to enforce these requirements. In addition, if passed into law, the Equality Act would do away with the Religious Freedom Act’s protection of faith-based organizations and churches, requiring that they hire people from the LGBTQ community regardless of whether they are aligned with the theology of these institutions. Barry Farah suggests that the Equality Act also discriminates against biological females by requiring that public restrooms or locker rooms be open for use by biological males who identifies as female, regardless of safety and privacy concerns. Barry Farah asserts that the rights afforded to all Americans should be experienced by members of the LGBTQ community, without granting special rights or taking away the rights of others.

In this episode, Barry Farah interviews Jeff Hunt, Director of the Centennial Institute. Centennial Institute is Colorado Christian University's think tank, mobilizing ideas on faith, family, and freedom to strengthen America's future. The Centennial Institute is connected with Colorado Christian University, a well respected Christian college, located in Lakewood Colorado. Jeff shares with Barry Farah and Culture Shift listeners how he became a conservative when he disagreed with his seminar professors, which led him to research conservatism. Jeff got his start in political activism knocking doors in California for then gubernatorial candidate, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and then moved to D.C. to work for Rick Santorum. Barry and Jeff discuss how the Centennial Institute fosters faith, family and freedom and defines their holistically conservative approach and the three-legged stool of conservatism that Ronald Reagan introduced. Jeff shares about the greatest threats to freedom of speech, the keys to limited government, and how CCU students are making an impact wherever they go.

In this episode, Barry Farah tells the story of the Mayflower Compact, who wrote it, and why. The Compact was to be signed by those on the Mayflower who wished to remain in the New World. The Mayflower Compact uniquely implemented the concept of equal treatment for all under the law. This idea enabled a whole new way of life and doing business in this New World and ultimately influenced our Constitution. Barry Farah describes how unique America has been in the world in respecting private property rights. This led to unprecedented legal immigration for decades as people sought the opportunity that could only be found in this America. Barry Farah conveys the government’s recent shift toward picking winners and losers in the marketplace during the COVID-inspired shutdowns. Barry expresses the need for our country to find its way back, allowing small companies to have the same access and equal treatment, which led to our success in the first place.

In this episode of Culture Shift, Barry Farah explains the real secret of success. Many best-selling books and speakers have covered the topic of success. Barry unveils the importance of America in establishing an environment of economic freedom that unlocked the potential for success never before seen in history. Individual liberty was first acknowledged in government in the 1200s through the Magna Carta, and in the Bible when God created man and woman to be productive. Barry Farah shares the story of his grandad’s immigration to the United States in the early 1900s and his patriotism as a child. Economic freedom is personal to each of us and Barry makes the point that we own our own labor. Government is to govern at the consent of the governed, and we are to be free to produce and not have our rights to our own productivity infringed. Barry Farah makes the point that this is the American Dream, and it is unique in the world. We have the right to pursue our own happiness and that right is granted to us by God, not the government. Barry ends this episode with a game you can play to capture the essence of the free market game you can play to capture the essence of the free market.

Today on Culture Shift, Barry Farah talks about economic freedom in light of a recent development related to short selling. Short selling is for sophisticated investors who are aware of the exorbitant risks. But, even in this risky territory, longterm a free market is best for the everyday person. The Bible speaks to economics extensively. Jesus talked about money more than any other topic except the kingdom of heaven. Extensive empirical evidence points to economic freedom improving the lives of every community it touches. There are four components to freedom economics. When one or more is crimped by government overreach it adversely impacts everyone. When economic freedom prevails it serves other freedom rights. “Only allowing the institutional players to operate is against the free market and it is being challenged in the courts.” “Normally, when Wall Street loses, they just change the rules, but, hopefully, the free market has just opened a whole new way for the little guy to be brought into the playing field.” “Jesus talks about economics and money more than he talked about Heaven and Hell combined.” “Jesus talks about economics and money more than any other thing besides the Kingdom of God. “If you don’t have an economic system built on freedom then you will be constrained and will not be able to enjoy as many goods and services." “Economic freedom is essential for all other freedoms.”

Today on Culture Shift, Barry Farah talks about the “memory hole” where embarrassing information gets incinerated. This was first showcased by George Orwell in the novel, 1984. Barry describes the memory hole in light of a recent attempt by some U.S. senators to quash the testimony and otherwise erase the evidence presented by other Senators related to the 2020 election. In addition to Big Tech assuming the role of thought police (see a previous episode for more) by removing evidence from interested citizens on its platforms Barry Farah shows how frightening dots are being connected between George Orwell's book written in 1949 and actual efforts by US Senators today. Tweetable quotes: The “memory hole”—where embarrassing information gets incinerated. George Orwell showcased the memory hole in his novel, 1984. U.S. senators sought to quash testimony and otherwise erase evidence related to the 2020 election. Big Tech has assumed the role of thought police by removing evidence from its platforms.

Today on Culture Shift, Barry Farah talks about the final right within the first amendment – the right to petition the government to redress grievances. This practice stems from the Bible and English law. In the Old Testament, Moses was told to train leaders on how to handle disputes and grievances. He then leads us through the history in England in the granting and removing of the right to redress grievances of citizens, and how that has also happened in American history. This constitutional right connects to our current moment in the United States. Barry Farah describes why the right to peaceably address grievances is important to maintain the framework of our nation. He outlines recent events, specifically related to the January 6 convening of Congress to potentially redress the grievances of alleged voter fraud, and how that opportunity was lost due to the introduction of violence in an otherwise peaceable assembly at the U.S. Capitol. Tweetable quotes: “The right to petition the government is dependent upon the right to peaceably assemble” (1:32) “When a large crowd peaceable assemblies, it has the right to be heard for their grievances.” (2:14) “When an assembly turns hostile, it loses its moral authority, and its right to petition the government to address grievances” (2:20) “The whole reason America was established was the failure of King George III to address the grievances of colonists” (8:17) “People who independently study political issues, they should have a mechanism to be heard and not silenced.” (23:03) “The constitutional right to address grievances is frail, but I am hoping the next generation will reawaken and strengthen the right to petition the government.” (23:37)

Today on Culture Shift, Barry Farah talks about the freedom right to peaceably assemble enshrined in the First Amendment and the events that took place recently at the U.S. Capitol. The right to peaceably assemble was first asserted by the colonists when the British attempted to suppress this right. This eventually led to its incorporation into our Constitution. Barry Farah describes why peaceable assembly is good no matter how distasteful the ideas being promoted. Granting all people the right to share their ideas allows the best ideas to win. Barry Farah also outlines in this episode the recent events at the U.S. Capitol and describes how peaceful protesters were joined by those with a more violent intent.

Today on Culture Shift, Barry Farah talks about the balance of power and how it relates to the recent election. 2020 brought with it a huge expansion in government overreach in its allowance of violence, its mandate to force business closures, and response to the evidence of alleged election fraud. The balance of power for the three branches laid out in the Constitution is critical to right these wrongs, and is sadly waning. Today, Barry Farah describes a concept he calls “the tripod.” This concept displays how the executive, legislative, and judicial branches – or departments as Madison refers to them in the Federalist papers – all have individual roles, but are critically interdependent on each other. If one branch oversteps or abdicates their responsibilities, tyranny is inevitable. The 2020 election reveals numerous examples of voting misconduct and if the roles of our government are not upheld, we will never know if the results are an honest representation of who won. Join us in today’s episode as Barry Farah describes exactly how government roles are being abdicated in this election just days before Congress reviews the electoral college votes.
