Hearts of Oak Podcast

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.

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.
