This proves, once again, that despite running as the opposite of Trump, the one campaign promise that Biden has actually kept is the one he made behind closed doors to donors: "Nothing would fundamentally change." Even some of the most jaded skeptics of US propaganda still believe the misrepresentations about North Korea, and the travel ban makes it that much harder to see reality for ourselves. Luckily, Amanda Yee is sharing some first-hand accounts to shed light. She explains the painful family separations caused by Biden’s draconian ban and the untold horrors of the war the US wants us to forget. A war which never ended. Amanda also discusses the national security state’s selective, unprincipled and hypocritical war on independent organizations who dare to criticize U.S. foreign policy.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Useful Idiots. I'm Katie Halper. And I'm Aaron Metchik.
0:09.1	How's it going Aaron? Hey, sorry. Just for you. I'm good. I'm good. It's really hot out.
0:15.9	I'm wearing a tank top. Doesn't happen a lot. But it's tank top weather.
0:21.5	Even though it's September. And that was your official Useful Idiots weather report right there.
0:25.6	Your one's not just for all weather. Exactly. Yeah. Not just not just political analysis. Sometimes you get
0:30.4	pop culture, meteorological center. We keep you informed. I feel bad for all the layoffs that
0:36.4	are about to ensue in the weather rooms of new stations across the country once they realize
0:40.6	that we're on top of it. Yeah. Their jobs are going to be redundant. They are redundant. They just
0:44.8	don't know it yet. Yeah. Love the expert handle it though over here, Useful Idiots. And the cool
0:49.8	thing is we just narrow it down into like a clause, not even a sentence, just a clause. It's hot.
0:56.0	Breaking news, tank top weather. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We really distill it. We crystallize it.
1:01.6	Well, we have an important announcement, which is that we are so grateful for all of our supporters.
1:07.2	And you guys literally make this show happen. We couldn't do this show without your support

1:17.4	already a subscriber to Useful Idiots sub-stack, don't worry. You are good. Nothing's going to happen
1:23.8	to your rate. If you haven't joined yet and you want to, now is the time to do it because October
1:30.0	1st, that's the 1st of October, we're going to be raising the subscription rate. Not by that much.
1:37.0	It's still going to be very affordable. Wilson, let him know what's happening. Come on down, Wilson.
1:42.7	So we joined sub-stack two and a half years ago. And apparently somehow things change in two
1:47.7	and a half years. And so sub-stack, I've met with them and they kind of laughed at us saying,
1:51.2	your price is still this low. How are you getting away with this? So we said, okay, we'll raise them
1:56.1	to the normal sub-stack rate, but we'll do it in one month so that everybody has a chance to get
