Alan Miller joins us to discuss how public pushback helped stop the proposed digital ID scheme and why current expansions — One Login, the Gov.uk app, digital driving licences and wider digitisation — still risk building a biometric surveillance state. He covers the campaign tools that worked (petitions, protests, letters to MPs), the push of company directors and the self-employed into digital systems, the need to protect analog options, links to banking, cash and central bank digital currency, and why continued campaigning, free speech defence and signing the Together Declaration pledge remain essential. Alan Miller started his career in the nightlife industry, co-founding London's Old Truman Brewery, the Night Time Industries Association and latterly #OpenForAll which was launched in response to the threat of vaccine passports. He is a writer, producer and director, appearing regularly on mainstream news channels, championing civil liberties. In his work in the hospitality and business sector, Alan has demonstrated an ability to change policy at the highest level of government. He has experience working with local councils, influencing mayoral leadership in various cities as well as lobbying the Home Office, the Treasury, DCMS and BEIS while ensuring mainstream media coverage.

This month, This Old Tree Doug introduces us to Kongeegen, or the 1,500-year-old “King's Oak,” deep inside a forest called Jægerspris Nordskov in Denmark. The tree is named after 19th-century King Frederik VII, who owned a nearby castle with his wife, the Countess Danner. It is a national treasure and one of northern Europe's oldest living oak trees.   Getting there meant a two-mile hike through the woods with guests Anders Jensen of the Danish Tree Association and forest historian Helle Serup of The Green Museum. They tell the biological story of Kongeegen, and how Denmark sees its forests.  But there is also a love story - a tangled affair between the unconventional Frederik, the Countess Danner (aka Louise Rasmussen), and a wealthy newspaper publisher named Carl Berling. The Countess's own love letters embellish this true story from her point of view - scandal, romance, and all  - and how it led them to seek shelter from the rain under this ancient oak. Guests Helle Serup Curator, Det Grønne Museum (The Green Museum) Auning, Denmark Anders Jensen Vice Chairman Dansk Træplejeforening (The Danish Tree Care Association) Reading "Beneath Kongeegen" by Doug Still and Ida Zecco, read by Ida Zecco and Martha Douglas-Osmundson (Louise Rasmussen's letters) References "Din hengivnes Louise": Louise Rasmussens breve til Carl Berling og kronprins/kong Frederik VII, 1844-1850."

Gary Rabine discusses his early work in tree service and driveway paving in northern Illinois and how he developed that into the Rabine Group of companies.  He describes expanding into parking lot paving, trucking, and other construction and facilities services, while incorporating technologies such as AI, robotics, and drones.  Gary explains his method of identifying capable people and building businesses around them, along with his views on leadership and long-term planning.  He also talks about the role of his Catholic faith in his personal and professional life, the work of the Cheryl Rabine Foundation, and the origins of his Ditch Digger CEO podcast.  Additional topics include his early support for Charlie Kirk, his involvement in local and national political matters, a lawsuit concerning federal vaccine requirements that reached the Supreme Court, and his current focus on infrastructure development through Rabine Global and Sight Technologies. In the Spring of 1981, Gary Rabine was a senior in high school trying to decide which way his future would go. While his friends were busy preparing for college, Gary was dreaming of starting a landscaping or paving business. With the experience he gained laboring and running heavy equipment for his dad's small business, he knew he could do it. One afternoon in his school's cafeteria, surrounded by college-bound friends, Gary was asked what his college plans were. When he replied that he planned to save money to start a business, a smart ass friend eagerly termed him a “Ditch-Digger”, loudly laughing “Gary's going to be a Ditch Digger!”. Gary harnessed this memory and used it to motivate himself to walk his own path. 37 years later, Gary Rabine has grown Rabine Paving and many other businesses which are now the Rabine Group of Companies.  Connect with Gary and DitchDiggerCEO...

David Bozell discusses his family's conservative political background in Washington, D.C., and how his father helped launch the Media Research Center after earlier work with NCPAC. He describes the MRC's early years as resource-poor but focused on documenting media bias, including work at the 1988 conventions and support from donors and figures in conservative media. He also talks about the organization's relationship with Rush Limbaugh, saying MRC supplied clips and documentation that supported Limbaugh's on-air commentary. Bozell reflects on Limbaugh's influence and on how conservative media grew through talk radio and strong messaging. Bozell then explains how MRC's focus has shifted to digital platforms such as Apple News, Google News, Yahoo, and MSN, where he says the organization tracks the visibility of center-right voices. He closes by urging audiences to share content, contact news platforms about imbalance, and push for more conservative sources in mainstream distribution.   Connect with David

Del Bigtree, founder and CEO of the Informed Consent Action Network and host of The HighWire, joins Hearts of Oak. He shares with us how The HighWire was created as an experiment in media that presents conversations without heavy pre-interview preparation or editing.  Del discusses his background as a television producer and the process of building ICAN, which reviews vaccine trial data and has filed numerous lawsuits against U.S. government agencies. He reflects on interviews with Andrew Wakefield and attorney Aaron Siri, and addresses the difference between reporting and taking direct action when needed. The conversation also covers Del's approach to decision-making, which he connects to intuition, prayer, and a sense of humility, as well as his observations on public debate and his involvement with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Del Bigtree is an Emmy-winning television producer, filmmaker, and leading advocate for medical freedom and informed consent. A former producer for the CBS daytime hit The Doctors, he transitioned to independent journalism and filmmaking after becoming concerned about pharmaceutical influence and vaccine safety.  He produced the groundbreaking 2016 documentary Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe, which sparked global conversations on transparency in public health.  As host of the popular weekly program The HighWire, he reaches millions with investigative reporting on health policy, science, and individual rights.  Del serves as CEO of the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), a nonprofit dedicated to holding government agencies accountable through FOIA requests, litigation, and advocacy.  He also served as Communications Director for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s 2024 presidential campaign and continues advancing the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) initiative.  Passionate, articulate, and unafraid to challenge mainstream narratives, Del Bigtree is a powerful voice for parental choice, scientific integrity, and health sovereignty.

Imagine walking into the gym, and there are zero classes on the board—just a plan built for you and how you feel that day. That's the shift from hiding in the group to owning the work, and it changes how strength, progress, and “no excuses” really look.Episode SummaryOak Strength didn't tweak its schedule, it blew up the old model. After years of running group classes, Adam Lane and Coach Sam Libby saw too many members just surviving workouts instead of actually getting stronger, moving better, and feeling better. The answer wasn't another clever class format; it was programming built around the actual human standing in front of the coach.This episode walks through what “classless” looks like in real life: plans based on age, goals, schedule, injuries, and even how someone slept the night before. Adam and Sam talk about keeping the social vibe while ditching cookie-cutter workouts, calling out cherry-picking, and making on-the-fly changes so people leave feeling better—not more beat up.Key TakeawaysYou'll Learn:Why a busy 47-year-old and a strong 20-something like Luke shouldn't be running the same plan.How group classes can hide the fact that people aren't actually getting stronger or feeling better.Why letting members avoid certain movements in the app slows progress and keeps problems unsolved.How personalized plans are built around how many days per week someone really shows up.Ways coaches adjust training instantly when someone walks in with a sore back, poor sleep, or high stress.How Oak keeps the social, community feel even without everyone doing the same workout.Why multiplanar and rotational work matters more than just loading up a deadlift.How meeting people where they're at leads to better long-term results, not just harder workouts.Why “no excuses” doesn't mean “go harder”—it means there's always a smart way to train that day.How this shift helps both older adults and youth athletes move, feel, and perform better.Episode Chapters00:33 Oak turns 14 and goes completely classless01:15 Why broad group programming stopped making sense02:00 Cherry-picking workouts and avoiding movements02:34 Keeping the social side without traditional classes03:27 Building plans for 2-day vs 3-day per week members04:04 Training a 25-year-old vs a 65-year-old vs Luke05:09 Adjusting plans for pain, stress, and bad sleep07:31 Multiplanar work so strength carries into real life08:20 No excuses, better communication, closingResources MentionedOak Strength Website: https://oakstrength.comFacebook – Oak Strength: https://www.facebook.com/oakstrengthInstagram – @oakstrengthOrange Theory Fitness (mentioned as an example of a big group-class model closing locally)About the GuestCoach Sam Libby is the Director of Adult Training at Oak Strength.

Sabin Howard - From WWI Memorial to Grand Liberty Arch: History, Art and God

Acclaimed sculptor Sabin Howard returns to Hearts of Oak to discuss his ambitious new project, the Grand Liberty Arch — the monumental follow-up to his National World War I Memorial, which was unveiled in Washington, D.C. in September 2024. Sabin shares how the Grand Liberty Arch, designed for America's 250th anniversary and slated for unveiling before the 2034 Winter Olympics in Utah, celebrates freedom, liberty, personal agency, and self-responsibility.  He explains why he chose to create the work independently in Utah after being granted land at the state capitol, and how raising over $2.3 million through a charitable foundation has allowed him to move forward with this massive bronze sculpture — three times the size of his previous memorial. Sabin also dives deep into his artistic philosophy, contrasting his classical, Renaissance-inspired approach — which elevates human dignity and tells a story like a “bronze movie” — with much of today's modern art.  He speaks openly about the spiritual dimension of his work, the role of faith in giving him courage as an artist, and why he believes art should be public, purposeful, and rooted in the belief that human beings are made in the image of God. A compelling look at one artist's mission to restore meaning, beauty, and heroism to public sculpture in America. Sabin Howard grew up in New York City and in Torino, Italy. He studied art at the Philadelphia College of Art and then earned his MFA from the New York Academy of Art.  For twenty years, he taught at the graduate and undergraduate levels. He has been elected to the board of the National Sculpture Society.  He has received numerous commissions and has showed his work at more than fifty solo and group shows. After 72,000 hours of working from life models in the studio, Sabin designed and created the hero's journey that memorializes the courage and sacrifice of our veterans in WWI, and in all wars, in A Soldier's Journey. He has created an illustrious body of work, including three heroic scale pieces, HERMES, APHRODITE, and APOLLO, as well as many smaller pieces.  His works are owned by museums and private collectors all over the world, and they have been favorably reviewed by USA Today, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Epoch Times, American Artist, Fine Arts Connoisseur, American Arts Collector, and The New Criterion, as well as many other journals internationally.  He is an accomplished public speaker and is the subject of several television profiles.

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki returns to Hearts of Oak to explore core Jewish theological concepts and key differences with Christianity. He explains the covenant and the law as the means by which Israel lives out God's will as a “kingdom of priests,” the essential role of rabbinic interpretation in applying biblical commandments across time, and the balance between fixed, collective Jewish liturgy and personal prayer. Rabbi Wolicki contrasts Judaism's primary emphasis on national redemption with Christianity's focus on individual salvation and the afterlife, reflects on insights gained from Christian engagement, and discusses the enduring covenant through exile and the prophetic significance of the Jewish return to the land in modern Israel. Rabbi Pesach Wolicki is an Orthodox rabbi, author, and Executive Director of Israel 365 Action. Born in the United States and raised in Canada as the son of a rabbi, he moved to Israel in the early 1990s. He began his public work advocating for families of Israeli soldiers missing in action from conflicts in Lebanon and has since become a leading voice in Jewish-Christian relations. A former synagogue rabbi and dean of a yeshiva, he now lectures widely at Christian institutions and co-hosts the Shoulder to Shoulder podcast with Pastor Doug Reed.   Connect with Pesach...

Orla Minihane shares how protests erupted in her quiet Essex community after 135 unvetted asylum-seeking men were moved into the Bell Hotel near several schools. She explains how a sexual assault on a 14-year-old girl became a turning point, leading local mothers — including herself — to form the Pink Ladies movement.  Wearing pink to reframe the protests as a safeguarding issue rather than a political one, the group quickly spread to hotel protests across the country.  Orla discusses the media backlash, the personal threats faced by the women involved, and her journey from local activism into politics — from joining Reform UK to supporting Rupert Lowe and Restore Britain.  A candid conversation about women's and children's safety, mass immigration, cultural integration, and political accountability. Orla Minihane is a London-born mother of three living in Essex, near Epping. She became a prominent voice in the UK's grassroots protest movement after local concerns over asylum seekers being housed in the Bell Hotel near schools escalated following a sexual assault on a 14-year-old girl. Orla helped establish the Pink Ladies — a women-led safeguarding group that began wearing pink to reframe protests as a matter of protecting children and communities. The movement has since spread to hotel protests across the country. She is a vocal advocate for women's and children's safety, immigration reform, and cultural preservation.

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.

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.  The Rape Gang Inquiry Report: bit.ly/4uE5odw Rupert Lowe on

A prime example is Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran, who highlights our latest rankings risers due to underlying pace metrics that suggest a potential 30-30 campaign. Despite an elevated 29% strikeout rate, Duran has locked down the everyday leadoff spot, making his volume-heavy profile incredibly valuable. When evaluating risers like Duran or Bryan Reynolds, analyzing baseline shifts rather than riding unsustainable BABIP waves is essential to sustaining success. The trade market presents distinct buy-low windows that demand immediate action. Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio remains an elite buy-low target; his underlying barrel rates and hard-hit metrics have been teasing a massive breakout, and his recent multi-homer explosion during the series sweep shows that the acquisition window is closing incredibly fast. Similarly, Oakland's Tyler Soderstrom is showing immense growth, dropping his strikeout rate from a concerning 30% down to a highly manageable 18%. Combined with a rising launch angle at a highly favorable Sutter Health Park hitting environment, his bat is primed for a massive second-half surge. On the flip side, identifying optimal sell-high timelines is just as crucial for long-term roster construction. Christian Yelich continues to provide solid surface counting stats, but his underlying metrics paint an incredibly alarming picture. Yelich's launch angle sits at a low two degrees, paired with a meager 6% barrel rate and a career-worst average exit velocity of 88 mph. With his strikeout rate jumping nearly 30% alongside chronic back discomfort, savvy managers should trade the veteran asset now to maximize return value before rest-of-season regression fully hits. Conversely, pitching depth remains highly volatile, as highlighted by the dramatic roster shifts across standard leagues. For those looking to fill open roster spots, looking toward efficient arms like Detroit's Troy Melton or checking the underlying predictive metrics of high-upside young arms like Chase Burns provides a strategic roadmap for stabilizing team ERAs and WHIPs without burning waiver priority on low-floor assets.

Tanner Bibee Rage Drop? – Week 10 Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire & Rankings

Is it officially time to rage drop Tanner Bibee after another blowout, or do the metrics suggest a major bounce-back is coming? Episode Summary Joe Bond and AJ Applegarth break down the top waiver wire adds, brutal drops, and key rankings movers for Week 10 of the fantasy baseball season. The crew details why pitchers like Shota Imanaga and Nolan McLean are sliding down the rankings, and explains why struggling stars like Bo Bichette represent key buy-low opportunities rather than panic drops. Week 10 Fantasy Baseball Advanced Analytics & Strategic Breakdown The fantasy baseball landscape is shifting rapidly as we head into Week 10, requiring managers to separate raw surface statistics from true predictive indicators. The focal point of this week's analysis centers on Cleveland Guardians right-hander Tanner Bibee, whose disastrous outing against the Washington Nationals exposed massive vulnerabilities. Surrendering seven earned runs and an astounding five home runs over just three innings of work on Memorial Day sent shockwaves through fantasy rosters. Looking into his broader trajectory, a disturbing multi-year pattern emerges. Bibee's surface ERA has progressively climbed from 2.98 to 3.47, then to 4.24, and now sits at 4.57 for the season. Coupled with a 4.16 SIERA and a strikeout rate dropping below one punchout per inning, Bibee can no longer be viewed as an un-droppable asset. His underlying numbers indicate he has transitioned into a volatile, matchup-dependent option rather than a reliable rotation anchor. Pitching volatility dominates the landscape this week, highlighted by prominent rankings fallers Shota Imanaga and Nolan McLean. While some fantasy managers might react with panic to their downward slide in the rankings, it is crucial to analyze the shift structurally rather than assuming true skill regression. Shota Imanaga's dip reflects an expected correction after an incredibly hot stretch, making it an adjustment based on stabilizing underlying metrics. Meanwhile, Nolan McLean's slide serves as a reminder of how quickly pitching depth charts and small-sample performance can fluctuate in standard rankings models. Separating these structural rankings adjustments from complete profile collapses is what allows sharp managers to maximize their pitching rotations while others panic-drop viable assets. Conversely, the advanced data reveals lucrative buy-low windows for targets experiencing acute misfortune. Oakland Athletics slugger Brent Rooker stands out as a prime trade target despite a freezing cold spell that dragged his batting average down to .189 with a 52:17 strikeout-to-walk ratio. While his standard Savant page flashes concerning blue metrics, Rooker boasts a consistent multi-year track record of crossing the 30-home-run threshold. In an era where league-wide batting averages are depressed, maintaining a true 30-homer profile provides massive utility, making him an ideal target while his market value is rock bottom. Similarly, managers must remain disciplined with elite foundational bats like Freddie Freeman and Bo Bichette. Freeman's minor dip in the rankings represents a normal structural variation rather than a fundamental degradation of his elite plate discipline. Bo Bichette is another prime example of why surface-level struggles should not trigger a panic drop. While he appears as a "Homer Pick Drop" focus on the show due to recent visual adjustments and shifting team dynamics, his long-term track record remains undeniable. Bichette is not a true skills-based rankings faller to cut loose; instead, the underlying metrics suggest he remains an elite bounce-back candidate. Treating his depressed batting average as a structural buying window rather than a permanent anchor allows you to secure an elite infielder before his inevitable positive statistical correction occurs. On the waiver wire front, uncovering values requires a sharp focus on expected metrics and situational deployment. Washington Nationals starter Cade Cavalli has emerged as a high-priority addition, exhibiting elite command over his last three starts spanning 19.3 innings. Cavalli has posted a stellar 2.79 ERA, a 1.03 WHIP, and a spectacular 2.44 SIERA alongside 24 strikeouts—highlighted by consecutive 10-strikeout performances against Atlanta and the Mets. Backed by a highly potent Nationals offense, his run support floor remains high. Meanwhile, deep-league infielder options like Chase Meidroth of the Chicago White Sox and Blaze Alexander of the Baltimore Orioles offer flexible, multi-position eligibility. Meidroth benefits from hitting near the top of a White Sox lineup that unexpectedly ranks as the eighth-best offense by wRC+. Alexander provides elite short-term streaming upside, slashing .344 with a .913 OPS since mid-May, offering short-term category boosts while navigating structural gaps in the fantasy infield.

Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter welcome back two familiar faces to the corner of Rick House in Frankfort: Diane Strong, the driving force behind the Bourbon on the Banks Festival, and Bo Cumberland, the festival's videographer and distillery film maker. Together they settle in for a relaxed preview of the 2026 Bourbon on the Banks Festival — now in its seventh year — touching on new events, expanded programming, sold-out tickets, and the evolution of the single barrel program that has become one of the festival's most celebrated features. On the Tasting Mat: - James E. Pepper 1776 Single Barrel Bourbon (Bourbon on the Banks 2025 Pick): A barrel selected the prior year by Jim, Todd, and Bo at James E. Pepper Distillery in Lexington. Clocking in at 109.4 proof, this single barrel pours with rich aromas of cherry cola, leather, and a subtle barrel funk. The palate delivers a lush butterscotch sweetness — evoking Werther's Original hard candies — balanced by a satisfying peppery bite on the mid-palate. The finish is long, warm, and refuses to fade. A confidently balanced cask-strength pick available at the festival for around $60–65. *(00:01:54)* - Jeptha Creed Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Single Barrel Reserve (Bourbon on the Banks 2025 Pick): A four-grain bourbon — built on the distillery's heirloom Bloody Butcher corn alongside wheat, malted barley, and rye — bottled at 119.52 proof from Warehouse B after seven years and one month of aging. The nose opens with intriguing complexity, revealing sweet cinnamon, a whisper of root beer, and a hint of fresh strawberry. The palate is full-powered and richly flavored, landing on buttered cinnamon pancakes with a wave of deep caramel. A distinctive expression that showcases just how compelling Jeptha Creed's long-aged releases have become. *(00:20:05)* On the Tasting Mat: Beyond the pours, the crew digs deep into everything Bourbon on the Banks 2026 has to offer: a sold-out Bourbon Bell River Tour with Ingram Distillery, the returning Whiskey Thief Kickoff Party (barrel burning included), a free family-friendly Friday night on the lawn with circus performers and a mermaid, the Culinary Bourbon Geek class with Peggy Noe Stevens now pushed to 2 p.m., a Friday VIP Reception and Auction sponsored by Larkin Bourbon, a Saturday morning brunch at Cypress and Oak, expanded single barrel picks from eleven distilleries including Angel's Envy, Pursuit Spirits, Jeptha Creed, Jackson Purchase, Boondocks, and others, and an after-party headlined by Creekwater with bluegrass openers Hancock and Schaus.
