  • Marco Rubio on Iran, Deportations and the State Dept. Shake-Up

    Marco Rubio on Iran, Deportations and the State Dept. Shake-Up
    Apr 23 2025
    Yesterday, The Free Press had a major scoop: The State Department is launching the biggest shake-up in decades in an effort spearheaded by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Today, Rubio joins us on Honestly to discuss his goals for restructuring the Department and also how the U.S. is responding to manifold crises at home and abroad, from controversial deportations to the American attempt to end the war in Ukraine to the possibility of a new Iranian nuclear deal. In his confirmation hearing, Secretary Rubio talked about how the postwar global order is obsolete. The question is: what replaces it? We asked that and more of the man who has been charged with overseeing one of the most transformational shifts in our relationship to the world in American history. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Can America Survive Without Christianity?

    Can America Survive Without Christianity?
    Apr 22 2025
    In the past few weeks, Bari has done two episodes on religion—one asking, “Do we need a religious revival?,” and then a follow-up conversation with Ross Douthat asking how people who grew up in the secular West can actually find faith. Today, we have the last installment of this intellectual and religious inquiry, and we are asking a new question: 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 an atheist, Jewish, 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. Jonathan is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, and he just wrote Cross Purposes: Christianity’s Broken Bargain with Democracy. Bari asks him about the breakdown of religion. She asks about the religious and political forces that have shaped our present moment, like MAGA, the evangelical movement, and their marriage to President Donald Trump. And, she asks about the rise of Christian nationalism and the threat it poses. And, most importantly, she asks how we can restore health in political life.

  • Ross Douthat: Why It’s Logical to Believe in God

    Ross Douthat: Why It’s Logical to Believe in God
    Apr 17 2025
    You may have noticed on this show that Bari Weiss is always asking her guests, “Do you believe in God?,” “What is your favorite biblical character?,” or “Do we need a religious revival?” And you might be wondering why she keeps knocking on this door? It’s partly because we’re curious about people’s metaphysical beliefs. But it’s also because we think something profound has gotten lost in our society, as we’ve lost traditional religion. You can argue that we are starting to see the beginnings of a religious revival, and even if you don’t believe in God, many think that the practice of religion—keeping Shabbat, going to church—has clear benefits like a community or a moral code. Religion, in other words, is a good program. Our guest today, Ross Douthat, has a different perspective. Ross makes the case that we should be more religious—not in order to cure society’s many ills—but because it is the best way—the most accurate way—to understand the world around us. Belief in God, he says, is entirely rational. Ross is a best-selling author, a columnist at The New York Times, and the host of a new podcast called Interesting Times. His newest book is Believe: Why Everyone Should Be Religious. The release is perfectly timed to our strange moment of “plagues, populism, psychedelic encounters, and AI voices in the air,” as Ross writes. Ross says it’s not enough to argue that religion is simply good for society, or that we must be religious to sustain our civilization. Ross argues that it’s time for people to actually become religious. Bari presses him about this distinction. And this week, as billions of Christians gather for Holy Week—the sacred days leading up to, and including, Easter—we are wondering if this return that Ross suggests is even possible. And if yes, will it fix our problems? Today on Honestly, Bari sits down with Ross to understand why he thinks belief in God is the most logical way to understand our world, how he rationalizes and justifies faith, and how he thinks readers can move from doubt to belief.

Podcastly

Bari's intent with this podcast is noble. She wants to bring an honest perspective to issues of the day. (And we have some very troubling issues in America!) While her questions are probing and her topics are the furthest thing from softballs, I find that her guests have a consistent bias in their thinking, which I will leave to you to determine. It reminds me of NPR 15 years ago where the reporting was well-intentioned, interesting, and topical, but you might have wondered what you weren't hearing? I really enjoy her style and she seems like someone I would want to get a beer with; I value the perspective she brings. But her guests' perspectives are just one angle and I need more. I suspect she would 100% advocate getting more angles and that is why I listen to her. Give her a try if you haven't.

Thank you so much

I broke down crying in relief while listening to this, thank you so much for standing up for free speech and reality. This is the first podcast I've come across where I've felt so heard, and I'm not a gay man, I'm a textbox 90s Tomboy and, through my own personal experience as a youth and teen, feel genuine worry and concern for today's youth, knowing what path I very likely would have gone down had I been born only a decade or two later. I've felt erased and been called alt right, by people I thought were close friends, so again, thank you.

Asbury

Bari:
Your Podcast on the Revival that recently took place on the campus of Asbury University was superb. I was particularly impressed by the young reporter you chose to cover the story. Her honesty about that absence of God in her life and yet her profound appreciation for what she witnessed at Asbury was, dare I say, beautifully moving — as if God were speaking through her despite her lack of cognitive recognition of him doing so. When that happens, it is a miracle.
Peace.
Bill
