Gareth Icke joins us to discuss all things censorship. 
His Dad, David Icke has been banned from travelling to the EU for the past 2 years because of his ”hurtful” comments and has just had his appeal overturned. 
He is regarded as a threat to community cohesion and free speech and the judge in the Netherlands has, surprise surprise, sided with the government and rejected his appeal against his travel ban. So anyone can have their right to travel in Europe blocked because they stand up for free speech?
This is on top of the censorship being introduced through the Online Safety Bill in the UK and similar legislation in the EU. 
Gareth explains how and why we have been targeted and what we can do to ensue freedom of speech remains across Europe and beyond.

An Evening With Right Said Fred: A Discussion on Freedom of Speech, COVID and Lockdowns

LIVE FROM Wallingford Town Hall Nr Oxford, England

Right Said Fred are one of the UK’s most enduring pop exports. Since forming in 1989, brothers Fred and Richard Fairbrass, have a list of achievements as songwriters and a band that include number #1 hits in 70 countries, they were also the first band to reach the number one slot in the US with a debut single since The Beatles.

Andrew Bridgen MP is one of those rare individuals in UK politics. 
He is driven by convictions and critical thinking as opposed to fame and power which is the norm in Westminster (or on Capital Hill I assume). 
He was an absolute Brexiteer and led part of that campaign for The UK to have freedom from the EU. 
He joins Hearts of Oak to discuss how he fought for Brexit all through his political life, but his biggest battle has been against the Covid Tyranny imposed on us by the UK government. 
Andrew spoke up for all who have been vaccine injured and for that he was thrown out of the Conservative party and vilified in the media. 
But the Conservatives loss was the gain of The Reclaim Party as he now represents them as the MP for North West Leicestershire.
His bravery and boldness is plain for all to see and as long as we have people like Andrew Bridgen in Parliament, we have a glimmer of hope in the UK.

Col Allen West (Ret) joins Hearts of Oak once again to give us a birds eye view of US politics. 
Its been nearly a year since the Republicans took control of the House of Representatives so what has changed and have they been successful? 
Kevin McCarthy was voted in after a long and gruelling process but is he delivering on the concerns of American people who are witnessing an increasing power grab from every government institution? 
And what is happening in Col West’s home state of Texas? Is Governor Greg Abbott even a Republican and why does he not secure the Texas border? With Mitch McConnell malfunctioning and Nancy Pelosi seeking re-electing does America need more politicians who have been part of the system for decades and made it their career? 
And finally we finish looking at the Republican Primary and Col West shares his honest assessment.
