Richard Weaver was a twentieth century American scholar and rhetorician whose writings were praised by the likes of Russell Kirk, William F. Buckley, Willmoore Kendall, and Frank Meyer.  But nowadays Weaver is either derided as a racially charged Southern sympathizer or accused of preparing the way for the MAGA movement and authoritarianism.  If he's discussed at all.

Along the way we dig into the nature of humor, the rise and fall of the TV sitcom, the lost formation of the writer's room, what it is like to be a Hollywood conservative, how technology like streaming and AI has changed show business, the strategy for the perfect sermon, and the spiritual calling of the creative arts.

Ghost opens episode 109 with the Iran peace deal moving toward signature: a draft plan is on the table, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are proposing a $300 billion investment fund for Iranian reconstruction, and Ghost walks through why this is the Venezuela model playing out in real time, not a Zionist puppet operation. Jim Rickards calls it a game of chicken and says the US blinks first. Ghost dismantles the Washington Examiner's "Abraham Architecture" op-ed as neocon regime change dressed up in platitudes, and reiterates Saudi Arabia's unbreakable red line on Palestine. Ben Gavir declares Israel will not allow any deal, while the US quietly prepares to pull all military aircraft from Ben Gurion within 72 hours of a signing. The episode then pivots to a bombshell: an Israeli state TV documentary exposes ritualistic child sexual abuse in the Gush Etzion West Bank settlement, with survivor testimony describing Knesset members as participants. Ghost connects it to the UN's blacklisting of Israel for prison sexual violence and an Israeli-born US attorney dropping gun charges against an Israeli national running an illegal biolab in Las Vegas. The episode closes with the DRC Ebola outbreak accelerating and Trump's Armenia rail deal revealing the emerging global trade corridor from Central Asia to North America.

David breaks down the intricacies of the Democratic Party's issues, including their handling of antisemitism and the implications of a party that seems to be moving further to the political left. The conversation also touches on the role of social media in shaping public discourse and the need for a more nuanced approach to discussing sensitive topics.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Persuasion seems conspicuously absent from our politics.  Not shouting, denouncing, or trying to convince the "other side" that they're wrong, evil, or both.  But the good faithed attempt to reach the hearts, minds, and emotions of others and persuade them to our point of view.  Why?  Why is persuasion so hard?  And is it even possible to persuade in an era of political polarization?   Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis welcomes fellow "Josh"—Josh Bandoch—on the show to discuss his latest book, How to Get What You Want: Mastering the Art and Science of Persuasion, and to explore how persuasion can engage with how the human brain is actually wired.   About Josh Bandoch Bio from Illinois Policy   Josh Bandoch is the Head of Policy at the Illinois Policy Institute.   His research focuses on empowering people to rise out of poverty, increasing social mobility, improving housing affordability, and removing barriers to opportunity (e.g. burdensome regulations).

SEASON 4 EPISODE 81: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (3:00) SPECIAL COMMENT: "Donald Trump Is Losing His Mind." It's the headline on a column in perhaps the most prominent MAGA magazine headline. It's not me saying it this time. Not Jimmy Kimmel. Not George Conway. Not a psychiatrist. The Washington Examiner: “Donald Trump Is Losing His Mind.” Why? Just because he’s also losing IRAN? Just because he’s COMPARING Iran to Vietnam (which he dodged)? Just because he threatened to go General Sherman on Teheran? Just because he's just announced you are no longer ALLOWED to CRITICIZE him ABOUT Iran? “Donald Trump Is Losing His Mind” writes The Washington Examiner - guess that makes it unanimous (and there is now polling on this!) ALSO: House Democrats want Kash Patel to take an alcoholism screening test. His choices amount to: a) ARE you an alcoholic? b) Are you so FULL of alcohol you’re at risk of bursting into flames, or c) are you J. Edgar Boozer. AND about the White House Correspondents Dinner Saturday. The Correspondents Association is obeying in advance to Trump, calling him an "honoree" and welcoming his rats like Brendan Carr and Stephen Miller. If you’re attending this dinner, and you are not planning to storm out or otherwise using this rare opportunity to protest Trump’s presence, you’re not only a traitor to JOURNALISM, you’re a traitor to America. B-Block (36:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Trump's "National Garden Of Heroes" with 250 statues of everybody from Elvis to Whittaker Chambers is dumb enough. What happens when they forget to order the statues? Interior Secretary Burgum wants Theodore Roosevelt in the pro football Hall of Fame even though there wasn't pro football while T.R. was alive. And new Congressman Clay Fuller says he was only joking when he said Georgia was named after George Washington. C-Block (45:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Talking about dinner in DC Saturday (The White House Correspondents) led me to mention my disastrous dates last century with Laura Ingraham on social media and there was considerable disbelief so it's time to tell that story.
