1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 What do Israel’s uncertain election results, America’s looming midterms, Donald Trump’s approach to Iran, and biblical archaeology have in common? They’re all subjects in my wide-ranging conversation with author, filmmaker, and political commentator Dinesh D’Souza. We discuss Netanyahu’s political prospects, the failures that allowed October 7 to happen, Trump’s successes and shortcomings, the growing radicalism of the Democrat party, and whether Republicans can hold on to Congress. D’Souza also offers an interesting perspective on Trump’s foreign policy: The president approaches the world like a real estate developer, assuming that everyone ultimately wants a better life, even when dealing with ideological fanatics who may value martyrdom over prosperity. We then turn from contemporary politics to something more enduring: biblical archaeology. Drawing on research for his book The Stones Cry Out, D’Souza describes remarkable archaeological discoveries that corroborate biblical accounts, sometimes down to seemingly insignificant details such as the price of a slave or the names of minor officials. It’s a fascinating discussion about how evidence emerging from the earth can challenge long-held academic assumptions—and why the Bible’s historical accuracy may be even more impressive than most people realize.
