The Bullshit Artists Coming for the Deep State

The days are getting shorter, the weather is growing colder, and the Trump cabinet nominees keep getting stranger. Jonah is joined by Free Press columnist Eli Lake to discuss effective intelligence agency reform, what the term “deep state” actually means, and Jonah’s plan to abolish the FBI and negotiate the ransom price for Sarah Isgur with Kash Patel. Plus: ruminations on the Warren Commission, the debunking of the Eyes Wide Shut analogy, and a masterclass in making s—t up. Take out your bingo cards for this one, folks.
