An important question for our time: Who are our role models? In this age of regulations and barriers, can we have freedom? David Gornoski argues that we can and gives an example of how the invention of the musket equalized the playing field in war through innovation. But our prosperity won’t mean anything, David says, if we are not able to cultivate good role models. Freedom and virtue must go together. We should celebrate good fathers. We should celebrate people like Lil Wayne who go against the grain, think for themselves, and escape the scapegoat rituals of our times. Listen to the full episode for all this and more.

“The Free Press has freely pressed any notion of freedom in our society.” David Gornoski starts the show by offering a stinging criticism of the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris campaign and policy agendas, especially with regards to their anti-health, pro-war, and anti-justice intentions. “Too many people are being set free,” David says, “and the party of bombs and cages want vengeance.” Also in this episode, David and Chelsea Murphy are joined by former US attorney turned criminal justice reformer Brett Tolman for a conversation on the urgent need for a fair justice system that is not driven by political parties trying to outdo each other. The three also highlight the disastrous failure that is the war on drugs.

Once we recognize the anthropological reality, how do informed Christians address the fact that the government is a religious structure with a monopoly on violence?
