Hands down the best
If you care to understand more about Israel rather than thinking you understand Israel, this is the best podcast to do that.
AI thought
Excellent review of AI and human intelligence. Makes me think AI is the new Tower of Babel. The point of the tower, before and after, the world changed dramatically. God still had a say so…. .
Connecting the Dots
Haviv does a wonderful job providing historical context to current world events and connecting events together to propose practical courses of action. He’s respectful of his guests’ expertise and draws on that to supplement his own analysis. I look forward to each new episode.
Excellent - 123 Batya
Keep coming back because of the displayed commitment to truth, debate, and depth. The more I listen, the less stupid I become. Not a bad deal. Batya, nailed her analysis of America. The Evangelical world view is the most Philosemitic in the world. Speaking as an evangelical, I have seen incredible resistance to the current antisemitic temptation. Anyone in my network who has been spouting off that trash has been sidelined and marginalized. There is no world in which Ruth can hate Naomi, therefore there is no world in which the church can be anything but a thankful and faithful friend to the Jewish people. In addition to her read on the evangelicals, Batya ended on the right note. Put off this “poor me! I’m oppressed nonsense.” It’s a lie. Get on your feet, get next to real friends, and get in the battle. In addition, to those who are having trouble breaking up with the socialism, and the social liberalism of the left. I would point you to the experience of the Israelis themselves. They tried socialism. It failed (like everywhere it has been tried), and pivoted to free markets. Now the country’s economy has boomed. They have leaned into traditional family arrangements and a positive/optimistic disposition towards their Nation. Now they are the only western nation to be above replacement rate. Trust reality! Bad ideas fail! Good ones don’t! Good people are good people because of how they live not because of how they were born. Zionism, free markets, and traditional time tested values that all find their root in Jerusalem. And this party has believed this for longer than most have been alive. Did I mention she reads her bible, loves her momma and wants to have a yard full of kids? Seems like a no brainer to me young man! Lean in and let’s go win again!
A voice of sanity in a world gone mad
In a time when investigative journalism is rife with “facts” that have never actually been fact-checked, Haviv is out here calling balls and strikes on everyone.
