They\u2019re all subjects in my wide-ranging conversation with author, filmmaker, and political commentator Dinesh D\u2019Souza. We discuss Netanyahu\u2019s political prospects, the failures that allowed October 7 to happen, Trump\u2019s successes and shortcomings, the growing radicalism of the Democrat party, and whether Republicans can hold on to Congress. D\u2019Souza also offers an interesting perspective on Trump\u2019s 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\u2019Souza 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\u2019s a fascinating discussion about how evidence emerging from the earth can challenge long-held academic assumptions\u2014and why the Bible\u2019s historical accuracy may be even more impressive than most people realize.
