Robert Spencer - Did Muhammad Exist? An Inquiry Into Islam’s Obscure Origins

It is a pleasure to welcome Robert Spencer back to Hearts of Oak to discuss his book, 'Did Muhammad Exist', which is his only work that has been updated and revised.Is there any sound historical evidence that the prophet of Islam actually existed, or is the entire story of Muhammad fable or fiction?It is a question that few have thought—or dared—to ask. Virtually everyone, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, takes for granted that the prophet of Islam lived as a prophet, as well as a political and military leader, in seventh-century Arabia.So this episode Robert shares the findings from his meticulous research of historical records and archaeological findings and we think you will be fascinated by this exposé. Everything you thought you knew about Islam is about to change, buckle in and get ready for a roller-coaster ride as we tackle the prophet's origins.Robert Spencer is the director of Jihad Watch and a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.Robert has led seminars on Islam and jihad for the FBI, the United States Central Command, United States Army Command and General Staff College, the U.S. Army’s Asymmetric Warfare Group, the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), the Justice Department’s Anti-Terrorism Advisory Council and the U.S. intelligence community.He has discussed jihad, Islam, and terrorism at a workshop sponsored by the U.S. State Department and the German Foreign Ministry.He is a senior fellow with the Center for Security Policy.Robert is the author of twenty-five books, including the focus of this interview, Did Muhammad Exist? An Inquiry Into Islam’s Obscure Origins, the New York Times bestsellers The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) and The Truth About Muhammad and the bestselling The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS.Follow and support Robert and Jihad Watch....GETTR https://gettr.com/user/jihadwatchRSTwitter https://twitter.com/jihadwatchRS?s=20&t=hGQ2Kg2h7lK0zHDheD0EfQWebsite https://www.jihadwatch.org/Books https://www.amazon.com/Robert-Spencer/e/B001JPACI0?ref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_shareInterview recorded 12.9.22

Billboard Chris - Children Cannot Consent to Puberty Blockers

Billboard Chris is a father of two young daughters and the Harry Potter books by J K Rowling were a favourite choice for bedtime reading. When the controversy around Rowling’s tweets erupted, he became aware of gender ideology and recognised the threat that it posed to his girls, he was moved to raise awareness of the issues. Chris absolutely believes children should be free to be who they are — not indoctrinated to believe they were born in the wrong body. Puberty blockers are the first step in a medical pathway that brings physical harm to children. We are lied to about the effects of these drugs, and the cross-sex hormones which almost always follow. Our politicians refuse to listen, and our media refuse to report, so Chris has taken on the mission to have conversations on this topic and raise awareness across North America, one person at a time. At Hearts of Oak, we have nothing but respect for this brave, principled family man and are honoured to have him join us, enjoy the interview and please share widely.

Queen Elizabeth II 1926 - 2022

The events of the last few days have rocked our nation. For 70 years, Queen Elizabeth II has been a constant in British life. Her dedication to a life of service and not fame. Her attention for others and not herself. Her sense of duty and not celebrity. Her strong Christian faith that was her foundation upon which her life was built. We now stare into the unknown, the abyss. The anchor of tradition has been cut from the United Kingdom. What does this mean for our future, our society and Britain's place in the world? This episode Peter focuses on the biggest story of the week, the death of Queen Elizabeth II and he will give his honest assessment of where we find ourselves. Many will ask where was the Queen during the destruction of lockdown and the threat of medical tyranny? Where was she as we tried to free ourselves from the clutches of the EU? Where was she during the moral and cultural collapse we have seen over the past few decades? And what can we expect from King Charles III? We look at all of these and pull in comments for discussion from our viewers and supporters on the various live-chat platforms.Originally broadcast live 10.9.22

Dr Naomi Wolf - Pfizer Docs, Miscarriages and the War on Life

Wonderful to have Dr Naomi Wolf return to Hearts of Oak Podcast.Dr Wolf and Daily Clout have been central to unpacking Pfizer’s data dumps. The legacy media simply does not care and will not touch this ever evolving story so it falls to heroes like Dr Naomi Wolf and her Daily Clout volunteers to trawl through and make sense of these documents. The big question..... What is Pfizer trying to hide? In this interview Naomi shares the revelations about them trying to suppress the miscarriage rates, which appear to be off the scale. We discuss the images that have been released of hideously damaged placentas, does this show that the jabs are even effecting unborn babies? Shocking. Yes. Difficult to comprehend this evil. Yes. But these are the only logical conclusions we can come to as this tsunami of data slowly works its way into the public domain.Dr. Naomi Wolf is a bestselling author, columnist, and professor; she is a graduate of Yale University and received a doctorate from Oxford.She is cofounder and CEO of DailyClout.io, a successful civic tech company.Since the publication of her landmark international bestseller, The Beauty Myth, which The New York Times called “one of the most important books of the 20th century," Dr Wolf’s other seven bestsellers have been translated worldwide.The End of America and Give Me Liberty: A Handbook For American Revolutionaries, predicted the current crisis in authoritarianism and presented effective tools for citizens to promote civic engagement.Dr Wolf trains thought leaders of tomorrow, teaching public presentation to Rhodes Scholars and co-leading a Stony Brook University that gave professors skills to become public intellectuals.She was a Rhodes scholar herself, and was an advisor to the Clinton re-election campaign and to Vice President Al Gore. Dr Wolf has written for every major news outlet in the US and many globally; she had four opinion columns, including in The Guardian and the Sunday Times of London.She lives with her husband, veteran and private detective Brian, in the Hudson Valley.Dr Wolf's latest book 'The Bodies of Others: The New Authoritarians, COVID-19 and the War Against the Human' available on Amazonhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Bodies-Others-Authoritarians-COVID-19-Against-ebook/dp/B09YNZ2GXV/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1662632232&sr=8-2Interview recorded 6.9.22Follow Dr Wolf and Daily CloutGETTR: https://gettr.com/user/drnaomirwolfhttps://gettr.com/user/dailycloutYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU-FMBZNtCdSiYBgJdvJmXwWebsite: https://www.dailyclout.io/
