Stories that I covered on today's show:
1. House Passes Trio of Foreign Aid Bills
The House of Representatives, amidst a backdrop of internal discord, managed to pass three foreign aid bills over the weekend with bipartisan support. Spearheaded by Speaker Johnson, the aid packages aim to provide assistance to Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific region, bolstering U.S. alliances amidst heightened geopolitical tensions. Johnson's strategic move to separate the aid into individual bills and include popular national security measures garnered crucial support from both sides of the aisle, leading to their successful passage. Despite some dissent, particularly regarding aid to Ukraine, the bills received overwhelming approval in the House, setting the stage for Senate consideration and eventual enactment into law by [R]resident Joe Biden.
2. Something Will Have to Give’: IMF Issues Dire Warning to Biden Administration
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) issued a stark warning to the Biden administration regarding its unprecedented spending spree, emphasizing the perilous implications for long-term fiscal stability both domestically and globally. Despite acknowledging the impressive recent economic performance of the United States, the IMF expressed grave concerns over the unsustainable fiscal trajectory driven by excessive spending. With the U.S. national debt hurtling towards $35 trillion and projected to skyrocket further under the administration's proposed $7.3 trillion budget for 2025, the IMF underscored the urgent need for corrective action. While the Biden administration deflects blame onto previous administrations and proposes tax hikes as a solution, critics argue that such measures will only exacerbate economic woes, hampering growth and burdening taxpayers. As inflation rises and economic optimism wanes among Americans, calls for prudent fiscal management grow louder, echoing Ronald Reagan's timeless assertion that "government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem." The IMF's admonition serves as a sobering reminder that unsustainable spending practices must be curtailed to safeguard the nation's economic future.
3. Is Joe Biden’s IRS Meddling In The IG Investigation Of Hunter Biden Whistleblowers?
Recent developments surrounding the investigation of Hunter Biden's whistleblowers have raised significant concerns about potential interference by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Despite assurances from IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel that the IRS is not investigating the whistleblowers and any such inquiry would be handled independently by the Treasury inspector general for tax administration (TIGTA), evidence suggests otherwise. Special Counsel David Weiss's response to Hunter Biden's motion to dismiss criminal tax charges hinted at ongoing investigations into IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, raising questions about the IRS's involvement. The IRS's communication with Weiss's office regarding these investigations, instead of through TIGTA's chief counsel, further complicates the matter. Werfel's refusal to acknowledge Shapley and Ziegler as whistleblowers adds to the skepticism surrounding the IRS's handling of the case. Senator Chuck Grassley has voiced concerns about protecting whistleblowers' rights, urging Werfel to uphold his commitment to supporting them. The unfolding situation underscores the need for transparency and independence in the investigation process to ensure the integrity of the proceedings and safeguard the rights of all parties involved.

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.
