Dr Ben Carson – Created Equal: The Hopeful Future of Race Cohesion in America

Hearts of Oak are honored to have Dr Ben Carson join us to discuss race in America, which is the focus of his new book ‘Created Equal’. Dr Carson's background as a pioneering world class neurosurgeon and having served in the Trump administration, gives him great insights into how people think and how they act. Race has been an issue that has divided society and is now being used by the left to cause divisions and tensions once again. In ‘Created Equal’, Dr Carson shares his experiences growing up in a predominantly black Detroit and an overwhelmingly white Boston, he explains how damaging Critical Race Theory teaching is to cohesion in America. Dr Carson's message on race is a message of hope that can bring together any community and re-educate those who view our society through the prism of colour. Dr Carson's faith also shines through and the biblical idea that we are all made equal in the image of God is a powerful antidote to division and mistrust. This book could be one of the most important of our time if we are to heal division and bring unity which will lead to a bright future. For a time, the likelihood of Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D. fulfilling his childhood dream of becoming a physician seemed unlikely. Growing up in a single parent home with dire poverty, poor grades, a horrible temper, and low self-esteem appeared to preclude the realization of that dream until his mother, with only a third-grade education, challenged her sons to strive for excellence. She observed successful people and encouraged her sons to emulate their behaviors, including reading. This led to behavior changes which had a profound effect on their education. In 1973, Ben Carson graduated from Yale University. He went on to receive his M.D. from the University of Michigan Medical School. At the age of 33, Dr. Carson became the chief of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, making him the youngest major division director in the hospital’s history. This would be among an extensive list of outstanding firsts for Dr. Carson. Dr. Carson’s accomplishments have earned him a place in medical history. He performed the first and only successful separation of craniopagus (Siamese) twins joined at the back of the head in 1987. He also performed the first fully successful separation of type-2 vertical craniopagus twins in 1997 in South Africa. In his career, Dr. Carson became a professor of neurosurgery, oncology, plastic surgery, and pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and directed pediatric neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center for over 29 years. He became the inaugural recipient of a professorship dedicated in his name in May 2008. He is now the Emeritus Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D. and Dr. Evelyn Spiro, R.N. Professor of Pediatric Neurosurgery, having retired on June 30, 2013. In 2016, Dr. Carson accepted the position of Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under the Trump administration. After completing his tenure as the 17th Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development in 2021, Dr. Carson founded the American Cornerstone Institute. This organization is focused on fighting for the principles that have guided him through life and that make this country great: faith, liberty, community and life. Dr. Carson and his wife, Candy Carson, co-founded the Carson Scholars Fund, which recognizes young people of all backgrounds for exceptional academic and humanitarian accomplishments. He is also the author of four bestselling books, Gifted Hands, Think Big, The Big Picture and his latest is ‘Created Equal: The Painful Past, Confusing Present, and Hopeful Future of Race in America’, all available on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09JS7GM88/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i2 He and Candy, are the parents of three grown sons, with three daughters-in-law, and blessed grandparents of eight grandchildren and live in Baltimore County, Maryland.

Karen Siegemund PhD – American Freedom Alliance: A Voice for Freedom and American Values

Karen Siegemund PhD, is the President of American Freedom Alliance and I had the privilege of meeting her at their recent conference in LA, titled Propaganda. AFA run regular conferences with high profile speakers on the major issues of our time. Alan Craig, my co-founder at Hearts of Oak, was a recipient of their Hero of Conscience award along with Geert Wilders back in 2007. Karen took over the reins from the founder, Avi Davis, a number of years ago and AFA has gone from strength to strength. What is the role of AFA in the world today and how does it seek to instil values of freedom, hope and truth in today's society? Join us to find out. As the daughter of a man who grew up in Hitler’s Berlin, Dr Karen Siegemund has always been keenly aware of how precarious freedom is, and how tyranny typically begins not with a revolution, but with a slow erosion of rights and freedoms. For this reason, Karen has dedicated her life to fighting against this erosion on every level. During the Cold War, Dr. Siegemund worked in the field of underwater acoustics, developing new sonar systems and testing them during sea trials around the world. After the defeat of the Soviet Union she turned her sights first to earning a Master’s Degree in International Relations, then a doctorate degree in “Education and American Culture.” Recognizing that only with an educated citizenry could we hope to maintain our freedoms, she became an educator; for over ten years she has taught in a number of areas, from Latin and French to Science and Mathematics, at the middle school, high school and University levels. Along with these specific academic disciplines, of course, she strives to educate her students about the values that make Western Civilization generally, and America specifically, as exceptional as we are. As another result of the recognition that totalitarianism creeps in with baby steps, and that our media has been complicit in its advance rather than the bulwark against it that it us supposed to be, Karen had founded and was president of “Rage Against the Media,” an activist group in Los Angeles which fought against the propagandistic nature of our news media. Since becoming the President of the American Freedom Alliance, she’s been part of the fight against a longer list of encroachments on our freedom, and has been hosting exceptional events ranging from World-Class Conferences to Literary Cafes, Lectures to Movie Premieres, all on topics relating to Freedom, how it’s being attacked and how we can preserve it. She has also paid a price for the position she takes in defense of Western Civilization and for her political activity outside the classroom. Karen became a victim of the very “cancel culture” she warned about when her teaching position at a local private school was not renewed. Among countless articles, the Epoch Times ran a feature article about her, and she was a guest on The Huckabee Show, a frequent speaker at clubs, organizations and events, and is published in a wide range of publications. The American Freedom Alliance is a non-partisan, non-profit organization which promotes, defends and upholds Western values and ideals. AFA sponsors conferences, publishes opinions, distributes information and creates networking groups to identify threats to Western civilization and to motivate, educate and unite citizens in support of that cause.

Peter Mcilvenna - US: Roe v Wade Supreme Court Ruling / UK: Latest Grooming Gang Report

Two stories have really stood out this week, one from each side of the pond that we want to focus on.This episode we look firstly at the big news in the US, that the Supreme Court of the US (SCOTUS) has overturned the 40 year old ruling of Roe vs Wade, that stated that it was a constitutional right to have an abortion. Under this ruling It now goes back to the individual states. This is a huge win for the pro life movement and was only made possible through President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominations.A big talking point this week in Britain was the culmination of an investigation into South Yorkshire Police for their failings to respond effectively to the grooming gang scandal. In the UK the police regulate themselves and imagine our surprise that they have decided that there is no case to answer for!The UK has 43 police forces and this 7 year investigation was into one of them, and although they acknowledge failings, not one single police officer will face prosecution.Originally broadcast 25.6.22*Special thanks to Bosch Fawstin for recording our intro/outro on this podcast.Check out his art https://theboschfawstinstore.blogspot.com/ and follow him on GETTR https://gettr.com/user/BoschFawstinTo sign up for our weekly email, find our social media, podcasts, video, livestreaming platforms and more go to https://heartsofoak.org/find-us/ Please like, subscribe & share!

CLIMATE - An Evening with Jeremy Nieboer: LIVE

The Winston Smith Literary Review Presents CLIMATE: ALL IS WELL, ALL WILL BE WELL An Evening with Jeremy Nieboer (Bruges Group)A talk by Jeremy followed by questions from the audience.Wallingford Town Hall Nr Oxford, England 7pm Wednesday 22nd June 2022 Streaming LIVE exclusively by Hearts of Oak Jeremy Nieboer was educated at Harrow School and Oriel College Oxford. After a period practising as a member of the Bar in Kings Bench Walk he was later admitted as a solicitor becoming a partner in two City law firms. He specialised in corporate work, including mergers and acquisitions, capital market public offerings, private equity transactions and commercial law. He still acts for a few long-standing clients. His first encounter with any challenge to the accepted doctrine of 'global warming' came through his contact with Christopher Booker, whom Jeremy first met when acting as lead solicitor on the application by Lord Rees-Mogg to restrain ratification of the Maastricht Treaty. Christopher himself published his essential work "The Real Global Warming Disaster" in 2009. Just at the time of its publication, there was a public meeting in Church House addressed by Professor Plimer in which he succinctly set out the fundamental scientific flaws of alleged CO2 driven global warming. It was this that set Jeremy on a path of enquiry and research. Jeremy has since spoken at numerous meetings as to the want of any tenable scientific basis for the vast proposed expenditure on the folly of de-carbonisation. He published his first booklet on climate alarmism with the Bruges Group in 2010, "A Lesson in Democracy", and has been a lead speaker at public meetings and debates on the subject.

Jeremy Nieboer - The Cult of Global Warming and Climate Change

The discussion on Climate Change has become a dogma that is cult like. Everyone must accept man made climate change as fact and any questioning of that is mocked and ridiculed, the term "Climate Change Denier" is used to silence all dissent. Jeremy Nieboer is someone who for the last decade has sought to understand climate change and analyse the "facts" behind it. The truth is that the story we are given is not based on any data or fact but on fear and propaganda. Jeremy's latest book 'Climate, All Is Well, All Will Be Well' which is a must read for anyone who wants to know the truth about the Climate Change ballyhoo.Jeremy Nieboer was educated at Harrow School and Oriel College Oxford.

The Week According To . . . Abi Roberts

Welcome to the latest edition of 'The Week According To . . ' and we have the irrepressible Abi Roberts back with us as we look at what has caught her eye or rattled her cage in this weeks news, articles and media.Up for discussion this episode...Pride month & LGBTQBS - What is Cisgender? Is it offensive? and where did it come from? - 'We are sacrificing our children on the altar of a brutal, Far-Left ideology' Powerful piece by Jordan PetersonSpecialist Rape Courts - Specialist courts are being set up to boost the number and speed of rape cases going to trial, with figures showing that the lowest charging rate of all offences continues to be for rape, with just 1.3 per cent of 67,125 offences recorded by police in 2021 leading to a prosecution.Immigration invasion - After the Rwanda flight farce, Downing Street does not rule out withdrawing from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) after last-minute interventions by the Court of Human Rights blocked the plane, which was stood ready to depart on a Ministry of Defence runway, in the final hour before it was scheduled to take off.- Around 400 migrants arrive in Dover after crossing the Channel in small boats just hours before the first flight to Rwanda was supposed to take off with this week set to be one of 2022's busiest yet for crossings.- People arriving in UK on small boats to be electronically tagged but Human Rights campaigners and lefty lawyers say ‘appalling’ pilot scheme treats those fleeing conflict and persecution as criminals.Covid Vaccines - The US has approved a Covid vaccine for its youngest age group yet to receive experimental shots in a decision expected to be followed worldwide.Boris in Ukraine - Tory MPs have accused Boris Johnson of snubbing the North for another trip to Kyiv, just days before a crucial by-election. He met with President Volodymyr Zelensky and offered a major training programme for his forces.Julian Assange - Family members of Julian Assange have promised to fight the UK's decision to extradite him to the United States after the UK government ordered the extradition of WikiLeaks founder to the US to face spying charges.Abi Roberts is a British stand-up comedian, writer and commentator. Abi became a professional stand-up in 2012, and since then has played some of the biggest clubs across the UK, and had several sold-out shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. She became a comedian because she wanted to write her own material and have the freedom to express her worldview – and make thousands of people laugh at the absurdity and wonder of life. Abi does not worship at ‘The Church of Woke’! If you ask her how she identifies or what her gender pronouns are, she would give you this answer: “I’m a straight female who’s flattened a lot of grass. I spent much of my university days behind a club called Cinderella’s with a cone of chips in one hand and a pint of Snakebite and Black in the other. For balance. I once dabbled in Lesbiana but couldn’t fully commit because, like a London cab driver, I wouldn’t go south of the river.” Abi’s stand up show Anglichanka, which was about living and studying in Russia, gained her several 5 star rave reviews and the show toured the UK. She was the first comedian to do shows in Moscow in both English and Russian, as Abi explains “My father was a spy… sorry, diplomat, so I went to the Soviet Union as a kid and then in the early 1990s I studied opera at the Moscow Conservatoire. Over the years, I’ve met many people who have been persecuted by the Soviet regime, including Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, so I have an inbuilt hatred of all authoritarian bastards who encourage denouncement and punish freedom of speech.” She has appeared as a guest comedian on BBC Radio 4’s Midweek, Saturday Live and BBC Radio Scotland’s The Janice Forsyth Show, and ITV’s Good Morning Britain, debating mandatory vaccine passports opposite Edwina Currie. As a writer, Abi has written for several publications including Spiked and The Times. Abi is a regular commentator on GB News, You can see her on Tonight Live with Dan Wootton and Mark Dolan and she also appears regularly on Andrew Doyle’s Free Speech Nation as well as Nana Akua’s weekend Debate show on GB News every Friday from 4-6pm. Twice monthly she joins Ann Widdecombe and Emma Webb in Widdecombe Webb & Woberts streamed LIVE on the New Culture Forum YouTube channel and also contributes regularly on Talk Radio & Times Radio.Follow and support Abi at the following links Website: https://abiroberts.com/ GETTR: https://gettr.com/user/abiroberts Substack: http://abiroberts.substack.com/Instagram: https://instagram.com/abirober....tscomedy?utm_medium= YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/AbiRobertsComedyDivaOriginally broadcast as a live news discussion 18.6.22*Special thanks to Bosch Fawstin for recording our intro/outro on this podcast.Check out his art https://theboschfawstinstore.blogspot.com/ and follow him on GETTR https://gettr.com/user/BoschFawstinTo sign up for our weekly email, find our social media, podcasts, video, livestreaming platforms and more go to https://heartsofoak.org/connect/ Please like, subscribe & share!Links to stories discussed this episodeWhat is cisgender?https://metro.co.uk/2022/06/17/pride-what-is-cisgender-where-is-the-word-from-and-is-it-offensive-2-16845926/Jordan Peterson: We are sacrificing our children http://web.archive.org/web/20220618045625/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/06/16/sacrificing-children-altar-brutal-far-left-ideology/Specialist rape courts https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10921439/Specialist-rape-courts-set-boost-speed-quantity-cases-going-trial.htmlRwanda flight cancelledhttps://news.sky.com/story/first-deportation-flight-to-rwanda-halted-after-last-minute-legal-appeals-home-office-confirms-12634130Rwanda deportationshttps://news.sky.com/story/rwanda-migrant-policy-has-not-been-ruled-unlawful-says-priti-patel-after-court-halts-flight-12634385400 migrants arrive in Doverhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10914915/First-Rwanda-flight-doesnt-deter-migrants-100-arrive-Dover.htmlPeople arriving in small boats to be electronically taggedhttps://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/jun/18/people-arriving-in-uk-on-small-boats-to-be-electronically-taggedCovid vaccine for its youngest age grouphttps://twitter.com/theheraldsun/status/1538016161526206464?s=20&t=tb04El9i4CJR-zSkc0bKKgTory MPs furious at Boris https://metro.co.uk/2022/06/18/tory-mps-anger-after-boris-johnson-snubs-red-wall-for-kyiv-16850048/Julian Assangehttps://www.euronews.com/2022/06/17/julian-assange-uk-government-orders-extradition-of-wikileaks-founder-to-us
