In this episode of Proof of Life, Jim Harden discusses a recent controversial decision by U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, to issue a temporary injunction against the Big Beautiful Bill Act. The bill, signed by President Trump, aimed to restrict the use of taxpayer funds for organizations like Planned Parenthood that provide or promote abortion. Harden argues that the judge's actions undermine the separation of powers and Congressional authority. He delves into the alleged misdeeds of Planned Parenthood, including medical malpractice, violations of civil rights laws, and Medicaid fraud, questioning whether the ruling could have lasting impact. Harden also touches on the potential misuse of funds and broader issues within the abortion industry.

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.
