In this episode of The Source, our senior editor Zain Raza speaks with Peter Kuznick, Professor of History at American University, about major geopolitical flashpoints often oversimplified by mainstream media.
They begin with the assassination of U.S. conservative activist Charlie Kirk and what it reveals about U.S. political culture. The conversation then turns to Ukraine, weighing Washington’s contradictory posture—talking diplomacy while supplying weapons and tightening sanctions—Europe’s expanding role, and whether peace remains within reach. Finally, they examine the Middle East: Israel’s recent airstrikes in Yemen, Qatar, and Gaza; renewed fears of a wider confrontation with Iran; and the international response—from the UN Security Council’s condemnation of the Doha strike to divisions within the European Union—and why Germany is resisting stronger measures against Israel.
ABOUT PETER KUZNICK: Peter Kuznick is Professor of History and Director of the Nuclear Studies Institute at American University in Washington, D.C. He’s the co-author of the book The Untold History of the United States, written together with Hollywood film director and producer Oliver Stone.

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.
