Thomas Tass and Robert Dunlop discuss the ongoing distrust of information being disseminated by a supine media which becomes Orwellian when it acts as an echo chamber for the political elite in the G7. They act like a Cohort of Thieves that suggest day in and day out that the national economy is great.
That crime is down when it is not. That Democracy is strong when it is under attack. That Freedom of speech is alive and well when government censorship is on the rise.
That inclusiveness, diversity and equity brings brilliant results that serves everyone without any negative impact on anyone.
All the while food banks cannot keep up with demand, millions cannot afford proper housing, stores are closing because robbery and street crime has made sniveling politicized cowards out of the leadership of many in the law enforcement community.
Our social cohesion and our economic well is under terrible stress. The current leadership in the G7 is deeply disliked by the majority of people across the political spectrum. This year many election will see the dismissal of most of them and the future will be in the hands of new leadership that will find the people angry and broke.
How the new leadership will handle that reality will be next weeks discussion.

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.
