Rebecca Hardy - Texans for Vaccine Choice: The Fight for Informed Consent and Vaccine Exemptions

Rebecca Hardy, President of Texans for Vaccine Choice and a speech-language pathologist, speaks with Peter about her background and the reasons she co-founded the organisation in 2015. 
She describes noticing patterns in child development during her clinical work and how her own research into vaccines, combined with a desire to support parental decision-making, led to the group’s formation alongside other Texas mothers. The conversation covers the organisation’s emphasis on informed consent and parental rights, practical challenges with school vaccine policies and exemption processes in Texas, and recent legislative changes including simplified religious exemptions that can now be printed at home. Rebecca also discusses other measures such as requirements for taxpayer-funded doctors to accept patients regardless of vaccination status, rules around vaccine advertising, and access to over-the-counter ivermectin. She outlines the group’s approach to working with legislators, monitoring school practices, and encouraging community involvement through their website and local activities.
Rebecca Hardy, a speech language pathologist, witnessed firsthand the impact of vaccine injuries in children – experiences that sparked her passion for medical freedom activism. As one of the original founders of Texans for Vaccine Choice, she has helped lead the organization from concept to statewide influence. Now serving as President, Rebecca oversees the trajectory of the vaccine choice movement in Texas. She is dedicated to protecting informed consent and medical liberty for all Texans. Rebecca and her husband, Tim, are proud parents of two daughters.

Bo French - Running for Texas Railroad Commissioner: Energy Security, American Culture, & the Establishment

Bo French says he grew up in Midland, Texas, in a family tied to the oil and ranching industries, later worked in energy-related business, and took over the family company after his father died. He describes entering politics through a 2016 legislative run, later becoming Tarrant County Republican chair, and says he focused on fundraising, party unity, and boosting turnout in a county he saw as moving left.
He says his run for the Texas Railroad Commission was driven by concern over new environmental rules that he believes hurt smaller oil and gas operators and raise costs for consumers and workers. French also discusses his comments on Islam and immigration, his view that newcomers should accept U.S. laws and culture, and says he won despite heavy opposition before facing a left-wing opponent in the general election.

Rape Gang Inquiry Report podcast

Rupert Lowe’s Rape Gang Report: The Truth About 250,000 Abused British Girls and Failed Multiculturalism
This episode Peter delivers a detailed overview and review of Rupert Lowe’s independent, survivor-led Rape Gang Inquiry Report — a 219-page investigation into organized child sexual exploitation across the United Kingdom.Drawing on testimonies from survivors, whistleblowers, experts, campaigners, and former professionals, the report examines the scale of grooming and group-based child sexual exploitation that has affected dozens of local authority areas (149 out of roughly 380) over decades. 
It presents the abuse as a widespread national problem rather than isolated local scandals, with strikingly similar methods used in towns and cities across the country: targeting vulnerable girls as young as 11 with gifts, alcohol, and drugs, followed by taxi transport to flats, hotels, and houses for repeated rape, trafficking, violence, blackmail, and in some cases forced conversion to Islam.Peter explores the report’s findings on catastrophic institutional failures. Police, social services, schools, the NHS, taxi licensing bodies, and local authorities repeatedly ignored clear warning signs, treated victims as prostitutes or “consenting,” closed cases prematurely, destroyed or lost evidence, and returned children to their abusers. A central theme is how fear of accusations of racism or Islamophobia paralyzed action and contributed to the cover-up that allowed the abuse to continue for years.Peter also covers the report’s analysis of the perpetrators and context, including the strong over-representation of Muslim Pakistani men among those convicted in group-based cases (over 90% bearing distinctively Muslim names, overwhelmingly of Pakistani heritage), and the failure of authorities to properly record or discuss ethnicity and religion.Finally, the episode outlines the report’s key recommendations for reform, including: - Tougher sentencing (life imprisonment as the starting point for group-based child sexual exploitation, with minimum terms of 50 years for ringleaders and 25 years for participants)- Automatic deportation of foreign national offenders and loss of citizenship for dual nationals- Mandatory recording of offender ethnicity and religion- Stronger protections for child witnesses- A national compensation scheme for victims- A new flagship Childhood Sexual Protection Act
This is a clear, unflinching summary of one of the most comprehensive independent examinations of grooming gangs in the UK to date — a call for accountability, justice, proper data collection, and urgent systemic change to protect children.

Daniel Steiner - The Power of PreBorn: Prayer, Strategy, and Ending Abortion

In this inspiring interview, Dan Steiner joins Hearts of Oak to share how he left a successful career as a trucking executive after encountering Jesus Christ and felt called to confront abortion as both a moral and spiritual crisis.  He explains the remarkable growth of Preborn, which began as a single pregnancy clinic in Indiana and has become the largest pro-life organization in the world. Through free ultrasounds, practical support (maternity clothes, baby supplies, housing, and medical care), and compassionate counseling, Preborn has helped save over 80,000 babies in a single year. Steiner emphasizes that Preborn’s mission pairs life-saving work with sharing the gospel, helping women and their children find not only physical rescue but eternal hope in Christ.  He also discusses the shift in the abortion industry toward online chemical abortions and how Preborn has adapted with digital outreach, phone counseling, and telehealth to reach women earlier. A powerful conversation about faith, obedience, compassion, and the vital role of the church in standing for truth.
"LORD, WHAT CAN I DO?"This is what PreBorn! Founder, Dan Steiner, asked himself as he thought of the 800,000 babies being slaughtered each week at the hands of abortionists.
This issue of abortion is the DEFINING issue of OUR generation.You are NOT powerless in the mission to save the lives of babies at risk for abortion.
You are a KEY instrument in the power source God desires to use to SAVE BABIES and SAVE SOULS.
Just as God called Dan Steiner, PreBorn!’s Founder, to save babies and save souls… you are being called.
