I won't be subscribing to Eli Lake's podcast. He never misses an opportunity to punch down on DJT and his supporters and refers to things like the "Deep State" as fever dreams of the MAGA.

More Eli Lake, please. He elevates every discussion with historical context. The podcast also has excellent song choices to drive home his points. We're not gonna take it, anymore!
