Freedom First explores the dramatic assault on basic rights and liberties that are guaranteed by the Constitution but which are daily under fire today. I look at this subject through the lens of economics, culture, and civil liberties generally with an eye to exposing the threats and showing how they degrade life experience, threaten prosperity, and make life less wonderful. Each episode takes on specifics that affect all of us, with an eye to the restoration of rights and liberties we once took for granted but which are being gradually stripped away. We can do something about it. My hope is that this show helps.

It began with lockdowns and the decaying of civil society. Many forces have combined, from uncontrolled illegal immigration to substance abuse and ill-health, to increased crime in the cities. The response by government: putting the National Guard in the subways. This is a very dangerous trend.
