It is often said that cats are responsible for the death of countless birds. Adam looks at where these numbers come from and wonders whether they are all that accurate. Darren gives a review of four books which he recently read. He'll share an AI and human summary of "My Promised Land: The Triumph and Tragedy of Israel" by Ari Shavit, Enemies and Neighbors: Arabs and Jews in Palestine and Israel, 1917-2017″ by Ian Black, "Unit X: How the Pentagon and Silicon Valley Are Transforming the Future of War" by Raj M. Shah and Christopher Kirchhoff, and "On Freedom" by Timothy Snyder.
