In this episode of Global Rundown, we unpack a day where markets, missiles, and megaphones shared the spotlight. The U.S.–Japan trade deal sends Asian markets soaring and European shares climbing, while Trump teases an LNG joint venture in Alaska—pending reality’s confirmation.
Meanwhile, Russia flexes with a massive multi-sea naval drill dubbed “July Storm,” and the International Court of Justice gears up to deliver a landmark climate opinion, potentially reshaping state responsibilities. Oil prices stabilize, gold dips as risk appetite returns, and the Nikkei jumps 1.7% on easing tariffs.
It’s diplomacy in motion, economics in suspense, and global politics with a side of satire. Tune in as we break it all down with sharp insights and sharper wit.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
