14. I think he is further to the right than a lot of centrist Democrats

In terms of who he associates with especially when it comes to right wing guests and his podcast he tends to have even worse guests like RFK JR and the things he agrees with him on which isn't backed by reliable science. Democrats that he think should be President are conservative Democrats such as Fetterman.

He may have been a strong Obama supporter but even during that time I stopped watching him because of his stance on Muslims which is to lump the mainstream ones with the Wahabbi or ultraconservative sects. These days he may even be a shy Trump voter or at least defender but the topics he covers are often to the right of where regular resistance liberals are.

However, Bari Weiss is a self-described centrist so he may be considering where centrists are at during the Trump era.
