Hearts of Oak on Tour: USA - Los Angeles
Friday Apr 08, 2022
Friday Apr 08, 2022
As the tour comes to a close, my final dispatch is from Los Angeles. LA has never been somewhere that I wanted to go and being here I know why. It does not feel like a safe city, certainly not in the evenings so I share some of my thoughts of being here in The City of Angels.My arrival coincided with the 'Hold the Line' demonstration against Disney and the corporation's "woke" agenda after the CEO opposed Florida's HB 1557 law, which is known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, and vowed to have it repealed.At Hearts of Oak we feel very strongly about this issue so the protest at Disney headquarters in Burbank was my first port of call, how they want to sexualise children is abhorrent and should alarm us all into action.

Hearts of Oak on Tour: USA - Austin/Texas with Terry Giles
Monday Apr 04, 2022
Monday Apr 04, 2022
The tour continues and while in Texas I was able to spend a few days with lawyer, author, entrepreneur and political heavyweight Terry Giles. We discuss the current state of US politics and how the woke agenda, with its nonsensical policies and poor understanding of biology has flooded the country like a toxic tsunami. With the midterms fast approaching and people waking up to the cult like virtue signalling and the disastrous Biden administration, it looks like the Republicans will retake both houses. All of this is feeding ammo to Donald J Trump, who is seeing huge crowds at his rallies and his hold on the Republican Party looks absolute.Terry Giles was born in St. Louis, Missouri. He received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from California State University at Fullerton and his Jurist Doctorate from Pepperdine University School of Law, where there is now a Terry Giles Honor Scholar.In 1975, he established what would become one of the largest and most successful criminal law firms on the West Coast. Some of Giles’ clients have included Richard Pryor, Kennedy Lay, J Howard Marshall III and Martin Luther King Jr’s remaining children.In 1983, Terry withdrew from the firm, disillusioned with the criminal legal system.Starting over, he took a small Toyota dealership and built it into the fifth largest in the world, he then helped build a Canon copier distributorship into the third largest in the country and negotiated the sale of ComputerLand, a company with $2.5 billion in annual sales.He also reestablished his legal practice, but this time focused exclusively on civil trial matters and only for clients and causes that he believed in. In 2008 he was runner up for “National Jury Trial Lawyer of the Year” for his work in the Catholic predator priest cases in California.Through the course of his career, he has bought/built 35 companies in a variety of industries. Today, his company, Giles Enterprises, has diversified interests in biotech, time management, European 5-Star hotels and restaurants, and financial portfolio investments.He is chairman of Landmark Worldwide Corporation, a San Francisco-based enterprise with 43 offices in 20 countries and Pacific Biomarkers, a diagnostic laboratory enterprise in Seattle, additionally, Terry serves on the Boards of Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans, the Pepperdine University Board of Regents, and The Giles O’Malley Foundation.Terry has received the Medal of Honor Alumni Award from Pepperdine University, Alumnus of the Year from Pepperdine University School of Law, the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans Award, and the Distinguished Alumnus Award of California State University of Fullerton. He further serves as an adjunct professor of law at Pepperdine University School of Law.He was the campaign manager for his good friend, Ben Carson’s Presidential campaign in 2015 and Terry’s latest book, The Fifteen Percent: Overcoming Hardships and Achieving Lasting Success, was published in 2020.The number in the title comes from Giles’ observations during the Catholic sexual abuse scandal. Giles represented hundreds of the accusers in the case that spanned eight long, arduous years. The vast majority of the victims had their lives destroyed by the abuse they suffered at the hands of priests they and their parents trusted absolutely. But a minority, about 15 percent, went on to lead successful lives. For the majority, suffering unspeakable tragedy upended them. But Giles observed that for the 15 percent, the terrible abuse either did not permanently derail them or it actually propelled them to succeed. They were unstoppable and would have succeeded under any circumstances, Giles writes. Tragedy, rather than destroying them, was a near-miss that left them with low fear thresholds and hardened their resolve to live.The Fifteen Percent: Overcoming Hardships and Achieving Lasting Success available to purchase on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fifteen-Percent-Overcoming-Hardships-Achieving/dp/151075833XInterview recorded 4.4.22*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!

The Hearts of Oak Tour continues to The Sunshine State of Florida and The City of Miami.We look on in envy from the UK when we have seen a US state that is always warm and sunny, embraces freedom, does not enforce masks and whose Governor, the great Ron DeSantis is currently standing up to the twisted executives of Disney who seem to want to sexualise all our children. Its been a great day of building alliances, meeting people whom i had previously never met but have supported Hearts of Oak and our mission from afar. Tomorrow I head to the Lone Star State, Texas!

Hearts of Oak on Tour: USA - Washington DC
Thursday Mar 31, 2022
Thursday Mar 31, 2022
Next stop of our tour of North America is Washington DC, and what a fantastic time was had!I spent Tuesday evening with Jason Miller and Kaelan Dorr from GETTR and it was wonderful to meet Kaelan for the first time in person after interviewing him recently for Hearts of Oak.Wednesday was a big one!..... We are all avid watchers and fans of Steve Bannon and The WarRoom at Hearts of Oak so it was an absolute privilege to be invited for a live interview with him on the show.Nerve racking it was, but Steve put me at ease and I was blown away by his energy and his grasp of the important issues both in the US and the UK.I admire Steve Bannon for his ideas, intensity and the way he never accepts that something is impossible, he is a real inspiration.It is great to make connections with such people as one of the things we are trying to do at Hearts of Oak is build friendships, networks and to present individuals and organisations from all different areas that have an important message to share.After Canada being -10°, Washington DC 6°, the next stop of the tour is the sunshine state of Florida and I'm looking forward to a balmy 30° .......... hope I remembered my sunscreen!

The Week According To . . . Abi Roberts
Saturday Mar 26, 2022
Saturday Mar 26, 2022
Stand back! Abi Roberts joins us again, throwing truth grenades as she lets us know what she really thinks of some of the offerings of the main stream media this week.On Abi's radar this episode is GB News and the repellant Jon Gaunt, is President Zelensky up for an Oscar?, we are no biologists here at Hearts of Oak but we dare to take a look at the curious case of Ketanji Brown Jackson and what a woman is, pull the other one...it's got bells on it....new study shows ZERO deaths linked to the Pfizer or Moderna clot shots!, with Mothers Day this Sunday in the UK...nothing says you love your Mum as much as a covid test, MEP Christine Anderson rips into Trudeau in front of the European Parliament and much more! 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 and you can see her in person at the Backyard Comedy Club on Sunday 10th April 2022Follow and support Abi at the following linksWebsite: https://abiroberts.com/GETTR: https://gettr.com/user/abirobertsTwitter: https://twitter.com/abiroberts?s=20&t=gcvve1Ik83YEhvKcEo_aWAInstagram: https://instagram.com/abirobertscomedy?utm_medium=copy_linkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/AbiRobertsComedyDivaOriginally broadcast as a live news discussion 26.3.22*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 and features in this episodesI’ve been reliably informed that Lord Gaunt of Jabshire is back on GBNEWSI thought that neither of us had been asked back on, because they were trying to remain impartial, but it seems I was wrong.https://twitter.com/abiroberts/status/1507403896599289867Ukrainian President Zelensky in talks with Academy to make Oscars appearancehttps://nypost.com/2022/03/25/ukrainian-president-zelensky-in-talks-with-academy-to-make-oscars-appearance/?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=NYPTwitter&utm_medium=SocialFlowBiden's Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson refuses to define the word 'woman'https://twitter.com/RealKeriSmith/status/1507397074391904265?s=20&t=Jiih-Kic_5BQVvHpnHdc3QBiden's Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson refuses to define the word 'woman' because she's 'not a biologist' as she is grilled on day two of her confirmation hearinghttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10642895/Bidens-Supreme-Court-nominee-Ketanji-Brown-Jackson-refuses-define-word-woman.htmlTom Harwood Aren’t we lucky that these days people can change their biology with the wonders of life saving modern medicine :)https://twitter.com/tomhfh/status/1506652769381453841JABULOUS No deaths linked to Pfizer and Moderna Covid jabs, major new study findshttps://www.thesun.co.uk/health/17878449/pfizer-moderna-covid-jabs-no-death-link/When COVID meets #MothersDay.

It was great to have Alexander Tschugguel back with us to look at the changes that have happened in Austria since we last spoke in December. This episode is a good news story for a change, as the Covid tyranny the country has been subjected to has suffered a setback because the people found their voices and stood up to the government. With only days to go, the would be dictators were forced to drop their fines for any citizen who had not undertaken the novel gene therapy injection. Alexander discusses with us how they managed to change this attack on civil liberty and he also shares his thoughts on the situation in Ukraine, Austria and beyond.Alexander Tschugguel is a well-known Austrian Catholic, Conservative and pro-life activist, he is famous for having tipped into the Tiber a series of “Pachamama” statuettes that had been on display in a nearby church during the Amazon Synod and for his many actions in defense of traditional Catholic teaching.More recently, he has also become one of the leading figures of opposition against covid lockdown measures and forced vaccination policies in Austria and is taking a stand against totalitarianism in his country.Alexander is the president of the St. Boniface Institute, a Vienna based Catholic think tank, which he founded in 2019.It was created as a platform to support the fight for the traditional Catholic faith and to defend that faith whenever and wherever necessary.Follow St Boniface Institute on Twitter @Inst_StBonifacehttps://www.boniface-institute.com/And you can follow Alexander on Twitter @ATschugguelInterview recorded 14.3.22
