Trump starts a trade war with Canada, announces “Economic D-Day” against Iran, while Russia deploys AI killer drones in Ukraine.Tommy and Ben break down the collapse of US-Canada trade negotiations, the politics animating Prime Minister Mark Carney's tough talk, and why a trade war carries long-term economic risks for Canada. Then the Trump administration threatens an “Economic D-Day” against Iran, which so far seems like an empty threat. In Ukraine, Russia has deployed autonomous drones that select their own targets using artificial intelligence, while CIA Director John Ratcliffe makes a mysterious trip to Moscow, and British Prime Minister Andy Burnham makes his first foreign trip to Kyiv and promises long-range missiles. The Pentagon fires the publisher, editor-in-chief, and a reporter from the military's own newspaper, “Stars and Stripes,” for speaking about the importance of editorial independence. And the guys dig into the rise of El Salvador's Nayib Bukele as the unlikely standard-bearer for a new wave of hard-right Latin American leaders, and show some terrifying and funny videos from the 2026 World Humanoid Robot Games. Then Ben interviews award-winning filmmaker Poh Si Teng and Dr. Feroze Sidhwa about the new documentary, American Doctor, that exposes the gut-wrenching experiences of doctors who went to Gaza to help, and the battle to force change back in Washington, D.C.Hate listening to ads?

It's been nearly three years into Israel's genocidal war on Palestinians, and still no step closer to its end. Since the latest “ceasefire” began in October 2025, Israel has continued to bombard Gaza and has killed more than 1,200 people, United Nations experts reported earlier this month. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu more recently rejected President Donald Trump's Board of Peace agreement with Hamas for Israeli troops to withdraw from the Gaza Strip.“The burden has really continued to devastate the healthcare system in general. So you're hearing from colleagues every day. They don't have the materials that they need to serve their patients,” Dr. Thaer Ahmad tells The Intercept Briefing. “They don't have even the basic sort of guarantee that there is a cloak of security allowing them to operate in the traditional ways that they would like to.” This week on the podcast, Intercept reporter Jonah Valdez speaks to Ahmad, an emergency medicine physician and humanitarian who has provided medical relief in conflict zones including Gaza, and director Poh Si Teng about their new documentary “American Doctor.” It follows three U.S. physicians from three different states who volunteer to enter Gaza to provide emergency medical care as best they can, with the insufficient supplies they have, to save lives — under the threat, as healthcare workers and hospitals have repeatedly been the target of strikes, of losing theirs.The American doctors were not just targeted by the Israeli military, however. Upon returning home and trying to share the atrocities they had witnessed in Gaza, they were “pummeled,” says Teng, in interviews with mainstream media outlets and ignored by lawmakers in Congress.“There's this refusal to acknowledge what most American people are interested in — and that is money out of the Middle East in terms of military and wars, and into our communities here, into healthcare, and into some of the services that we are deprived of, that, for example, Israeli society is able to provide for their citizens: free education, free healthcare,” says Ahmad. “We don't even have that here, and yet we're still providing a significant amount of aid.”Teng says, “For everybody who's trying to do something in this moment, it's not like as individuals we have no agency. We do. But it's also important to remind people of the systems in place that make it very hard for us to do the right thing. If there was any path forward or a glimmer of inspiration, I felt, follow these doctors.”For more, listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen.Full transcript: https://interc.pt/4xbqfa5 Hosted on Acast.

In Eastern Oregon’s John Day, a 160-year-old building holds one of the biggest collections of traditional Chinese medicine in the world. Kam Wah Chung and Company, once part of a thriving Chinatown, was owned and operated by Lung On and Ing Hay for over half a century. It was a home, a general store, a community center and a medical clinic where Ing Hay served as a beloved doctor to residents across the region. His practice included herbal remedies, non-invasive treatments, essential women’s healthcare and more. Archaeologists and historians are continuing to deepen our understanding of the legacy of Kam Wah Chung and traditional Chinese medicine in Eastern Oregon. We join them to learn more about Ing Hay’s important contributions to rural communities in John Day and beyond, as part of our special series in collaboration with OPB’s “Oregon Experience,” the Southern Oregon University Laboratory of Anthropology, and Jefferson Public Radio about unearthing Oregon history.

Since fifth grade, Luissa Kiprono, D.O., MBS, MBA, FACOG, knew she would be a doctor. Although there were many in her elementary school class who also shared that dream, she was the only one who made that dream a reality. Later, her own high-risk pregnancies led Dr. Kiprono to further specialize in Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM).Over her career, Dr. Kiprono has committed herself to providing quality care to women worldwide. When practicing in other countries, Dr. Kiprono says it's important to keep in mind cultural differences. In many countries she's visited, the ratio of patients to clinicians is very skewed, often leaving medical staff overwhelmed. Despite the challenges she's seen, Dr. Kiprono says it's inspiring to see the theme of quality patient care in every hospital.In the summer of 2022, when her employer's practice closed its doors in San Antonio, she knew she had the opportunity of a lifetime. She could serve two life missions: professionally, through maternal-fetal telemedicine practice TeleMed MFM, https://telemedmfm.com/, she could make high-risk pregnancy care available to all women beyond borders or geographical limitations; and holistically through her book PUSH, THEN BREATHE: Trauma, Triumph, and the Making of an American Doctor and my platform Dr. Luissa K she could reach out to all women to join the quest for self-empowerment.In this episode Dr. Kiprono shares that childhood illness and a painful surgery shaped her commitment to becoming a physician and to helping patients protect what she calls their most valuable asset—health.We discuss her work in maternal-fetal medicine, where she consults via telemedicine for high-risk pregnancies through contracted healthcare systems rather than direct-to-patient visits. Dr. Kiprono emphasizes the importance of telemedicine because most maternal-fetal medicine specialists are in cities while many high-risk patients live in rural areas. Our conversation also covers pregnancy loss, infertility, and high-risk factors like obesity, diabetes, hypertension, older maternal age, and certain anatomical conditions, with Dr. Kiprono emphasizing holistic, lifestyle-centered care alongside specialist evaluation.We close by talking about the “business of medicine,” advising students to follow their passion and learn practical business skills, and she shares her websites, book (Push, Then Breathe), and humanitarian teaching work abroad.Get in Touch With Dr. Luissa KipronoWEBSITE / SOCIAL :www.drluissak.com www.telemedmfm.comAll Links Hub https://linktr.ee/drluissakBook – Push, Then Breathe Special Edition (Autographed + Custom Bookmark): https://drluissak.com/book-us/ Audiobook (Apple): https://books.apple.com/us/audiobook/push-then-breathe-trauma-triumph-and-the-making/id1734426832Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0EOlEcbqr7h89mYoLwATcJ?si=bd5c6e6d53934710Amazon: https://a.co/d/ccKDwcuLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/dr-luissa-k-mfm-author-leader Instagram: www.instagram.com/drluissak/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/luissa.kip
