In Episode 28, Barry Farah introduces a new form of tyranny experienced from the consortium of big biz, big gov, and big tech.

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.

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.”

Biden and the mainstream media would have the public believe that the SCOTUS is out of control. Is this true? Barry Farah takes an insider look at the 14 court rulings of the SCOTUS in 2022 in Part 2 of this series.

President Biden and the main stream media would have you believe that the SCOTUS is behaving outrageously, ruling on the basis of party lines and personal biases.

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.

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.

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)

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.
