Join Matthew Pauly and constitutional lawyer Leighton Grey as they dive deep into the critical issues surrounding free speech and the dangers of silencing dissenting views. Grey raises a vital question: "If people are muzzled from sharing their views, how will we identify those who truly hold racist or terrorist ideologies?" Drawing on John Stuart Mill’s harm principle, he explains how suppressing speech not only hides lies but also blocks access to truth itself.
This conversation explores the philosophical foundations of truth and lies, the essential role of open dialogue in exposing falsehoods, and the consequences of censorship on society’s ability to discern reality. Perfect for anyone interested in free speech, civil liberties, and the defense of democratic values.

YouTube Description:Join Leighton Grey KC as he explores the profound significance of the Nativity, rooted in the Incarnation—God entering human history at a specific moment, not as an adaptation of Roman culture. Discover how by the 4th century, two key dates for Christ’s birth emerged: December 25th in the Western Roman Empire and January 6th in the East, especially Egypt and Asia Minor.
Grey thoroughly debunks the persistent myth that Christmas was borrowed from pagan festivals like Saturnalia or Sol Invictus, showing that early Christian hymns and liturgy for Christmas draw exclusively from Hebrew Scriptures and the Gospels, free from pagan influence.
Celebrate with confidence and clarity as Grey affirms that honoring the birth of Jesus Christ is a genuine act of worship to Yahweh, distinct from any pagan tradition, and deserving of gratitude and joy.
If you want to understand the historical and theological roots of Christmas beyond common misconceptions, this full-length presentation is essential viewing.
