The fever swamps of the alt-right have crept upstream. Fringe figures are making their way onto increasingly mainstream platforms, spreading ideological contagion to impressionable young audiences. Having long covered the creeping antisemitism of the Left, the fight now unfolding on the Right is an inspiring and essential one. With his debut WTH appearance, Eli Lake reminds us that this isn't a question of free speech, it's a question of policing one's own coalition with moral clarity. If the Right doesn't get this right, what will 2028 look like for the Republican Party? Eli Lake is a veteran journalist with expertise in foreign affairs and national security who has reported for Bloomberg, The Daily Beast, and Newsweek. He was the senior national security correspondent for the Daily Beast and covered national security and intelligence for the Washington Times, the New York Sun and UPI. Eli is currently the host of Breaking History, a new history podcast from The Free Press, where he regularly publishes. Read the transcript here.Subscribe to our Substack here.

Eli Lake, reporter at The Free Press, host of the Breaking History podcast, and contributing editor at Commentary, joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss while return of hostages from Hamas is incredible, the job of restructuring Gaza is far from finished. Lake explained why Hamas's terror infrastructure must be dismantled and its tunnels destroyed, and Lake also praised Trump's continued foreign policy achievements this term. Lake and Benson also reacted to the disturbing protests against a ceasefire in Israel, which he said reveal a faction of the left that never cared about ending the war, only about targeting Jewish people.

Eli Lake, reporter at The Free Press and contributing editor at Commentary, joined The Guy Benson Show today to weigh in on the new potential deal between Israel, Hamas, and others. Lake explained why the deal will almost certainly be rejected by Hamas, but noted the interesting possibility that the proposal could weaken Hamas in the eyes of many world leaders. He also broke down how Hamas remains so backward that they view Palestinian deaths as "worth it," citing their refusal to acknowledge the ultimate failure of the October 7th massacre or accept repeated ceasefire offers. Benson and Lake also discussed the recent "ArabCon" event, where dismissive punchlines about condemning massacres,  underscored the dangerous mindset of many on that side.

Hugh is joined by Noah Rothman, Eli Lake, Matt Continetti, Ben Domenech and Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) to discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the aftermath of that horrific murder.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yesterday, in broad daylight, in front of a crowd of 3,000 people at Utah Valley University, Charlie Kirk was shot dead. Kirk was not just a husband, not just a father, and not just one of the most prominent young conservative voices in the country. He made his name doing something fundamental to the American project: disagreeing out loud.  He famously said, “When people stop talking, bad stuff happens.” And so his thing was going to campuses, setting up a tent, and asking people to change his mind. People on campuses lined up to challenge him, often fiercely debating—and that was the point. He was a living embodiment of our First Amendment. As Matthew Continetti wrote in our pages: “The attack didn't just deprive a family of its center. It struck at the ties that hold a free society together: open assembly, civil debate, viewpoint diversity. Like every terrorist act, the shooting was meant to instill fear—in this case, fear of speaking out, of exposure, of making a difference.” And as shocking and tragic as his murder is the response to it: the people online celebrating—yes, celebrating—his death simply because they disagreed with his politics. Today Bari sits down with Ben Shapiro, Senator Mark Kelly, Matt Continetti, Katherine Boyle, Konstantin Kisin, and The Free Press's own Eli Lake and Maya Sulkin to reflect on Kirk's life and this awful moment in American history—and to consider how we can begin to look forward.

Ever travel to Europe in the summer and suddenly feel very “ra ra ra” about America? It's not because of American culture, or food, or architecture. The thing people miss first and foremost is AC. Yes, air-conditioning. It's an American treasure and of course, fodder for many dad jokes. But beyond the jokes, this invention has been politically and culturally transformational. AC allowed factories to operate through the summer—creating more productivity, prosperity, wealth, and American dynamism. It's allowed Americans to live in the most uninviting places in the country—ever been to Arizona or Texas in the summer? And this very flexibility to live in places like Phoenix and Austin has shifted migration, demographics, and even our political map. So today we want to bring you podcasts from another show in The Free Press podcast network—Breaking History. Eli Lake and his producer Poppy Damon speak with Salvatore Basile, the author of Cool: How Air Conditioning Changed Everything, about how air-conditioning—once called “comfort cooling” and “refrigeration systems”—evolved from a bespoke invention to a household status symbol and a political force. The episode is so interesting because it highlights inflection points that propelled this technology. If you're listening with your AC on high, you won't want to miss it.

What's up, guys? I have a powerhouse episode for you today with Eli Lake—one of the sharpest minds in foreign policy journalism. Eli's a columnist for the Free Press, the host of the Breaking History podcast, and a straight-up expert on everything from intelligence to Middle East geopolitics. If you've ever found yourself wondering what's really behind America's relationship with Israel, Iran's nuclear ambitions, or the complex dance of power in the Middle East—this is the conversation you cannot miss. Today, we're diving deep into the realities nobody talks about: conspiracy theories that just won't die, why alliances in that region are shifting so fast, the truth about proxy wars, and what the future could look like if Iran's regime falls or continues to escalate. Eli breaks down why the intelligence war matters, how successful military operations reshape global power, and what it will actually take for democratic change to happen in places like Iran.

On Saturday night at 7:50 pm ET, President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. had entered the war against Iran when he posted: “We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.” In the minutes after this historic announcement we assembled six of the top experts on this issue: Haviv Rettig Gur, Michael Doran, Mark Dubowitz, Amit Segal, Eli Lake, and Matt Continetti. We discussed it all: what we actually know about the strikes; what it means for Iran's nuclear capabilities, how Iran might respond; why Trump struck now; what this means for the Middle East; and what Trump's national address signalled to the American public, to Israel, and most importantly to Iran.

Journalist and podcaster, Eli Lake, sits down with Bridget for a wide ranging conversation that wanders from tracing the evolution of comedy, from Lenny Bruce's groundbreaking defiance to Shane Gillis's resilience against cancel culture, to making compelling parallels between the fall of the Roman Republic and contemporary political challenges - including Pakistan's deep state and its global implications. They cover addiction, creativity, wondering if there any third rails left, whether Kanye's most controversial song is the price we must pay for freedom, the challenge of covering Trump, and why comparison is the thief of joy and importance of staying out of bitterness and resentment. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsor Links: - Quest offers 100+ lab tests to empower you to have more control over your health journey.

Eli Lake and Michael A. Cohen take stock of the Biden health debate—diagnosis, exaggeration, and whether it's actually affected his presidency. Michael pushes back on what he calls the “decline industrial complex,” while Eli says its denial to think Biden was up to the job. Then they turn to Donald Trump's proudly post-moral foreign policy, where human rights don't even make the brochure and alliances are strictly optional. Realpolitik or just real reckless? Either way, they're not even mad.
