Kay Gottschalk, a Bundestag member and co-founder of the Alternative for Germany (AFD) party, discusses his political journey and the party's growth from 12% of the vote in 2017 to 21% in 2025. He reflects on challenges like media portrayal and internal management, particularly following the migration crisis of 2015, which heightened voter concerns about cultural integration. Gottschalk emphasizes the AFD's marginalization within the political landscape and broader trends of restricted free speech in Europe. He advocates for a return to democratic principles and envisions the AFD shaping future policy on national identity and economic reforms, while also highlighting the importance of transatlantic relationships in promoting conservative values.   Connect with Kay via Linktr.ee and  Connect with Hearts of Oak. . .

They begin with the conflict in Israel and Gaza, noting widespread Australian support for a ceasefire while unpacking the complexities of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s plans.

The discussion touches on generational differences in media consumption, global surveillance trends, and Robert Kennedy Jr.’s vaccine safety advocacy as part of a wider pushback against governmental health control. Additional topics include debates over Australia’s net zero policies, the impact of economic pressures on everyday life, and heightened English language requirements for immigrants, offering a thought-provoking exploration of cultural integrity and individual freedoms in a rapidly changing world.   Connect with Hearts of Oak...

In this episode, I engage with David Vance to analyze UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's inadequate response to the migrant crisis, highlighting the implications for British identity and sovereignty. Vance discusses the demographic shifts indicated by the rising popularity of the name Muhammad, warning of a transformed Britain by 2063. We critique the Online Safety Act’s potential threats to free speech and personal privacy, and examine media misreporting of migrant-related crimes. Vance also draws parallels to US immigration policies, calling them "civilizational suicide." We wrap up by discussing super injunctions and the need for transparency in governance, urging listeners to consider the broader impact of these pressing issues. Connect with David...

So I come from cowboys and rancher stock very proudly. And I call myself a refugee in the People's Republic of California. I happen to marry a California girl, and we've got people taking care of our kids and in-laws and family members, so it works out. And I travel a lot for my work, so here we are.

Thanks so much for joining us once again. It's great to have our favorite Canadian with us. That is Ezra Levant. Ezra, thanks so much for giving us your time today. Ezra Levant   [0:35]Oh, it's my pleasure. It's great to catch up with you. Hearts of Oak   [0:38]Always good to catch up. So much to discuss and rebel news are everywhere. It seems as though, Ezra, your team are just always expanding. The areas you cover, the places you go, not even mentioning the avi all the way down, down under, but you seem to have always a growing team, new people that are covering what is happening and holding this. Certainly the Canadian government and wider to account. Ezra Levant   [1:09]Well, thanks very much. I mean, we do love to recruit citizen journalists, so we're always keeping our eyes peeled. And by citizen journalists, I mean people who typically don't go to journalism school and don't come from the mainstream media. I use the word regime media now because so many mainstream journalists really are just spokesmen for the political media industrial complex. There are, of course, some exceptional examples to the contrary. I have to tell you, I really admire a lot of the journalism done by GB News. I think they're doing great stuff, especially on migrants. What they've been doing the last week in Calais, I think, is excellent. But on the whole, if you are an establishment news source, I really don't care what they say because I feel like I'm not getting the whole story. [2:02] Citizen Journalists and their Impact Ezra Levant   [1:59]So at Rebel News, our motto is telling the other side of the story. And I love finding young citizen journalists and throwing them into the deep end. Hearts of Oak   [2:09]Tell us about the situation in Canada regarding immigration, because in the UK, we have those, as you mentioned, and it was just on GB News, about those immigrant camps in France, in Calais, to try and get people over that small stretch of water, the English Channel, one of, if not the busiest stretches of water in the world. And we have a huge issue in that and also many other ways. Where does the pressure come in Canada in terms of the illegal immigration? Ezra Levant   [2:40]Yeah, great question. So many folks come to the UK in dinghies. Ezra Levant   [2:45]They just get in a boat and cross over. And by the way, once they're in the UK, they cross over from Northern Ireland into Ireland itself. So it really is a pipeline of refugee fraud. These are not genuine refugees. They're not coming in in a normal rules-based system. Everyone knows they're fake. Same thing in the United States where millions of people walked across the southern border under Joe Biden. In Canada, it's different.
