Sometimes we have a guest who needs no introduction. You know Dana Perino. She took on the job of White House press secretary when President George W. Bush was at his most unpopular—back in 2007 and 2008, as the Iraq War dragged on. She did not receive a warm welcome from those covering the White House—outlets like The New Republic called her clueless, and she was even injured after an Iraqi reporter threw his shoes at Bush.
It was not an easy job but, as anyone who served in the press corps back then will tell you, she did it masterfully.
Then she went to Fox News, where she quickly became a fixture. Today, she co-hosts America’s Newsroom in the morning and also co-hosts the highest-rated show on cable—Fox News’ The Five—where she is both the moral arbiter and the straight man.
Today on Honestly, Bari asks Dana about the moments of great tumu...

Trump has been in office for 100 days. Israel has been at war with Hamas in Gaza for 570. And Russia and Ukraine, 1,160 days.
Douglas Murray has had a front-row seat to all three of these unfolding stories, bringing us reportage and analysis that have illuminated the most urgent issues of our time.
While we love Douglas, his reporting and willingness to call out bad actors across the world and the political spectrum has earned him his fair share of adversaries. Earlier this month, Douglas went on The Joe Rogan Experience—the most popular podcast in America—to debate both Joe and comedian-turned-pundit Dave Smith. They sparred for some three hours, with the debate earning millions of views and becoming its own viral news story.
The interview became so popular in large part because Douglas, as always, refused to pull a punch.

What is the role of religion as a political force in this country?
Our guest today, Jonathan Rauch, says: “Christianity is a load-bearing wall of American civic life.” In other words, the success of liberal democracy depends on a healthy Christianity to support it—and if Christianity falters, our American project will falter too. We get into why that is in this conversation.
It’s a fascinating position for a person who happens to be a Jewish, atheist, gay man.
And Jonathan doesn’t just say we need to embrace Christianity; he goes a step further. He says that Christians need to look in the mirror and reconsider how Jesus would approach American politics today.

If you look closely, you can argue that we’re starting to see the beginnings of a religious revival. Or at least, people (including young people) seriously reconsidering religion.
Now, even if they don’t believe in God, they think that the practice of religion, like keeping Shabbat or going to church every Sunday, has clear benefits—community, a moral code to teach their kids, a rhythm of life. Religion, in other words, is a good program.
But our guest today, the brilliant Ross Douthat, has a different perspective. Ross makes the case that we should be more religious, not in order to cure society’s ills, but because it is true. Because it’s the best or most accurate way to understand the world around us. Belief in God, he says, doesn’t require a leap of faith. In fact, he says, it is entirely rational.

In 2025 it seems like there are two types of people. There are those who are insanely diligent about health—the people who learn everything there is to know about ingredients and food labels, the people who run every beauty or cleaning product through the EWG Working Group (a database where you can check for the presence of alleged toxins in household ingredients). We all know a few of these people.
And then there are the rest of us: the people who go about their daily lives trying to do the best they can when it comes to health.
The problem is—as hard as most try—the world around us is laden with processed foods and chemicals. Their exact impact on the body is under intense debate. But there’s no question that America is facing a crisis of chronic illness. You don’t have to be a scientist or a doctor to...

Depending on who you talk to, Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen are either the swampiest of swamp creatures—the epitome of all that is wrong with political journalism, suction eels on the hull of the good ship of state—or, alternatively, two of the most interesting, successful entrepreneurs in the new media landscape.
In 2006, VandeHei left The Washington Post to co-found Politico, where he was executive editor. His first hire was Mike Allen, then of Time magazine.
Politico turned into a massive hit, with Allen as its star writer. During the Obama years, Allen was so well-sourced that he became, in the words of Mark Leibovich at The New York Times, “the man the White House wakes up to.”
But then, in 2017, Mike and Jim decided to start something new—a website called Axios, which, in the beginning, was really a newsletter Mike wrote every day. They deli...

Today we’re bringing you the latest episode of Breaking History, the podcast where Eli Lake goes back in time, in order to make sense of the present.
The last episode was about the history of bourgeois terrorism, in which Eli told the story of Ulrike Meinhof, who you could describe as the Luigi Mangione of West Berlin. Today, he tells the story of Edward Said, perhaps the most influential professor ever to teach at Columbia University—and the intellectual godfather of today’s pro-Palestine protesters.

John McWhorter is one of the greatest living experts on the English language. He’s a professor of linguistics at Columbia, a columnist at The New York Times, and a Broadway obsessive. He once told me that he couldn’t do an interview because he was rehearsing a cabaret show for his bungalow colony. It sounded like a scene out of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel." But in his day job John thinks about words, about the evolving English language and, most recently, about the recently controversial topic of pronouns.
John McWhorter has a truly independent mind. He has been one of the most outspoken critics of liberalism from the left. His last book was called "Woke Racism," so you know where he stands.

A few years ago Jay Bhattacharya was an obscure Stanford professor—a medical doctor who also had a PhD in economics. Then Covid hit, the lockdowns began, and “Doctor Jay”—as he is sometimes known—became a pariah in the medical community.
That’s because, along with colleagues from Harvard and Oxford, Jay questioned whether the lockdowns were a good idea. They did this in an open letter called the Great Barrington Declaration. And this idea, in the madness of that period, was considered so dangerous by federal health authorities and Big Tech that Jay was not only smeared, but censored. His work—from Reddit to Twitter to Facebook—was suppressed.
But here’s the thing: The lockdowns were pretty disastrous. We’re still dealing with their effects—and it’s still unclear if they were worth it.

On March 29, in a neighborhood called Tel al-Hawa in southern Gaza City, Hamas brutally murdered 22-year-old Uday Nasser Saadi al-Rabbay, his family said. After Uday had been tortured and mutilated, his body was thrown off a tall building.
His crime? He had spoken out—loudly and publicly—against the terrorists who rule Gaza with an iron grip.
For three straight days last week, thousands of courageous Palestinians took to the streets all across the Gaza Strip in the largest anti-Hamas demonstrations since October 7, 2023. Uday was part of those protests. But on Saturday, he took a step beyond. He stood up inside a coffee shop in Gaza City, and in a loud voice, denounced Hamas.
According to his family, a few hours later, around 30 armed men from the Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing, storm...

But now, from Beit Lahia and Jabalia in the north to Deir al-Balah and Nuseirat in the center, and even in the Hamas stronghold of Khan Younis, thousands are participating.

She’s written a memoir about her nearly seven years at Facebook, the company that has since rebranded as Meta. In doing so, she’s become the company’s highest-ranking whistleblower.
Until around 72 hours ago, the book’s existence itself was a secret. Wynn-Williams, a onetime New Zealand diplomat, was effectively the company’s top envoy to governments around the world. She traveled extensively with Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg—the company’s two top leaders during her time—and her experiences with them often read like pure comedy, a mix of Succession and The Office.

Syria has just witnessed its deadliest bloodshed since the ouster of Bashar al-Assad last December. In just four days, between March 6 and 10, more than 800 people were killed in the coastal provinces of Tartus and Latakia, according to the Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR).
But who killed them, and why? As graphic videos of the atrocities flooded social media, so did misinformation. Tucker Carlson falsely claimed Christians had been slaughtered—an assertion denied by Syrian Christian leaders themselves. But while Christians weren’t massacred, another religious minority was—the Alawites.
Through our partnership with the Center for Peace Communications (CPC), The Free Press obtained exclusive footage and spoke to survivors, eyewitnesses, and analysts to piece together what actually happened on Syria’s northeast coast.
