We discuss the wild claims of Andrew Basiago, who asserts that as a child in the late 1960s he was recruited by the CIA for Project Pegasus, a secret program that utilized technologies found in Nikola Tesla’s papers to achieve time travel and teleportation. Basiago insists he traveled multiple times to Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address as well as his assassination, and that he was photographed at Gettysburg as a boy. Even more astonishingly, Basiago alleges that in the early 1980s he teleported to Mars with none other than a 19-year-old Barack Obama, who was already being groomed by the CIA to become a future president.

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.
