The Military Valence of Ideas: Impacts on Civilian Casualties in Conflict

Shaun Peterson is director of Lover Of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln. He and historian Tom Balcerski talk about the evidence indicating that Abraham Lincoln shared more than just a cot with Joshua Speed and few others. We debate the evidence, discuss why it matters, and talk for more than you ever knew you wanted to hear about Presidential thighs. Plus, Newsguard attacked by Trump's FCC appointee. Also, what the difference in civilian death tolls in Israeli's wars in Lebanon and Gaza tells us about Israel's enemies therein.

Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara
