Leading author, journalist, and thinker David Frum and The Hub's editor-at-large Sean Speer cover a wide range of issues, from the Epstein files, Trump's 35 percent tariff threats against Canada and the Israel-Hamas war. In the back half of the show, they discuss the feeling of pessimism that David has encountered as he traveled around Canada over the summer.
