Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss key developments from the UN General Assembly, focusing on Trump's confrontational rhetoric toward Europe and the implications of his administration's hostility to European governance models. They also examine Carney's international engagement during the UN General Assembly, questioning whether his focus on global forums and European relationships risks alienating the Trump administration while neglecting pressing domestic issues like housing and affordability. In the back half of the show, they address the challenging media landscape facing independent outlets, reflecting the Western Standard's difficult decision to accept government subsidies after years of opposition. They discuss how this highlights the broader debate over media independence and the distorting effects of state subsidies on both journalism and the economy.

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.
