The Equality Act: Transgender and You

By The Equality Act, Transgender

Episode #19 – 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.

You Should Be Free to Succeed

By Freedom, Success

Episode #12 – 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.

What Happened to GameStop?

By Economy, GameStop

Episode #11 – 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.
