    Dinesh D'Souza on the Biggest Archaeological Evidence for the Bible

    Author and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza joins this new episode of Real Talk to explore the biggest archaeological discoveries that he argues are increasingly corroborating the people, places, and historical details described in the Bible. From evidence associated with the high priest Caiaphas to the Pool of Siloam and the Tel Dan Stele's reference to the “House of David,” Dinesh explains why he believes the cumulative archaeological record presents a growing challenge to skeptics of the Bible's historicity. He also reflects on what he sees as the deeper significance of so many biblical discoveries emerging now, why the Bible remains foundational to Western civilization and why, in his words, “the stones are crying out.” 00:00 Dinesh D'Souza's Obsession with Biblical Archaeology 06:08 Is Archaeology Validating the Bible? 09:54 Archaeological Evidence from the Time of Jesus 13:49 The Dead Sea Scrolls & the Reliability of Scripture 18:42 Did Christianity Replace God's Promises to Israel? 24:49 The Pool of Siloam & Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus 29:26 Why Are Biblical Discoveries Accelerating? 31:02 The Archaeological Evidence for King David 37:30 Why Jerusalem Matters to Western Civilization 43:18 Jesus, the Jews & the Spiritual Battle of Our Time Follow Marissa on social: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marissastreit/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/marissastreitofficial/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/marissastreit/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@marissastreit LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marissastreit/ PragerU: https://www.prageru.com/shows/real-talk/ PragerU Español: https://www.youtube.com/@esPragerU Listen to Real Talk with Marissa Streit on Spotify and Apple Podcasts New episodes drop every Wednesday!

    Peptides: Medical Breakthrough or Risky Shortcut?

    Peptides, supplements, GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, NAD, IV drips, and “longevity stacks” are everywhere. But how much do people really know about what they are putting into their bodies?
