Episode #32 – In this episode, Barry Farah highlights more ridiculous items happening now. The Chinese government is launching an app that encourages and tracks snitching on those who aren’t obeying the government. Nextdoor is cracking down on what they define as “racism.” For the first time in 70 years, the National Day of Prayer was canceled from meeting at the United States Capitol. A renowned epidemiologist who was nominated for a Noble Peace Prize was banned. And who would have known that ice cream and other dairy products could be racist? Barry Farah explains these crazy and ridiculous items.
Episode #28 – 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.
Episode #20 – In this episode, Barry Farah provides insight into why a nationally set minimum wage does not help entry-level 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.

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.

Episode #10 – 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.
Episode #6 – 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.
