This past year wasn’t easy—but it was certainly eventful. Donald Trump returned to the White House, issued a record number of executive orders, deployed the National Guard to American cities—like LA and D.C.—imposed sweeping tariffs on all our tradin... more
It's Christmas Eve. A holiday celebrated by 2.4 billion people around the world, which centers on a 2,000-year-old story about a Jewish man born in Bethlehem who became a rabbi, who the Romans would later execute in Jerusalem.
But what most people d... more
Last week, Bari sat down with Erika Kirk for an hour-long town hall in front of a live audience on CBS.
It was an extremely powerful conversation. Erika and Bari spoke about a lot—rising political violence in this very divided country; the way some... more
One of the most complex medical, ethical, moral, and religious questions of our era is that of physician-assisted suicide—also known as Medical Aid in Dying, or MAID.
Eleven U.S. states and Washington, D.C. have legalized some form of MAID for termi... more

The assisted suicide debate pushed me over the edge. Not worth mentioning that Dr. Dugdale is a thousand percent a Christian Missionsry? If I look her up on my own, she’s all about Christ and dying the Christian way…yet, couldn’t mention that in the intro/bio?
Listening to it kept making me feel like I was missing something. She’s not just representing the medical providers here.
This podcast’s focus on religion is really turning me off.
This podcast illuminated and clarified the journey we have endured in the past and confirmed that the future is unclear and frightening. Yet, together with our pride and devotion we will endure. As the author said, we have been through worse. Thank you Bari, for once again informing us with your kind and accurate tone. You not only educate us, but you bring down the temperature so we can digest what is going on.
Firstly, more frequent balanced, good-faith debates would be welcome and valuable, not to mention filling a void in this market.
Batya must go for the love of Zeus—she sounds utterly hysterical, incapable of restraint, shouting like a lunatic newly released by Philippe Pinel from Salpêtrière.
Bari needs to drop the bizarre fixation with Israel (she shoehorns the subject into *every* discussion, often merely to repeat the very same things she’d only just been repeating a week before; one coul... more
Evidently she does, and she’s doubling down on it. Bari Weiss and Bill Maher are just pathetic losers who will do whatever their dear leader tells them to do.
There was so much to dislike about this interview, including its unchecked bias and inaccuracies. But to air this pompous treatment of one of the world’s great religions by a hostile non-believer the very week of Christianity’s most winsome holy day, celebrating the incarnation of God, was especially inconsiderate of so many in your listenership.
