0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Useful Idiots. I'm one of your host Katie Halper. |
0:09.0 | And I'm another host, Aaron Nighttay. How's it going Katie? |
0:11.5 | I'm good you. |
0:12.5 | I'm great and as always everybody you can go to Useful Idiots.Subs.deck.com or Useful Idiots.Lucos.com to sign up for bonus content and support the show. |
0:21.0 | Yeah and you get a great feature, a weekly feature called Thursday Throwdown which is your midweek dose of media madness |
0:27.0 | where we react to cable news clips that we don't get to on Monday mornings and that's always a great time. |
0:33.0 | And then again you get extended interviews. So honestly what's not to love? Give yourself the gift of premium exclusive useful idiots content. You'd be a useless idiot not to. |
0:45.0 | Mm hmm. |
0:46.0 | Yeah. |
0:47.0 | Yeah. All right let's get to our four basic food groups. I have Democrats suck and check out this headline from the Washington Post. |
0:55.0 | Federal authorities charged four Americans with roles in a malign campaign pushing pro Kremlin propaganda in Florida and Missouri. |

2:07.0 | But yet this is somehow worthy of an indictment accusing them of being unregistered agents. |
2:12.0 | And so here's the reaction here is Caitlin Johnstone the writer. She says this. |
2:18.0 | Wait, so Biden's Justice Department just arrested four American leaders of the African People Socialist Party for engaging in political activity that allegedly serves Russia. |
2:28.0 | How the F is that legal. And she said how is that legal to bring this kind of case over people's political speech. |
2:36.0 | You know what's ridiculous especially is using the allegation or the fact that they receive money from an individual as if that proves some kind of conspiracy. |
2:47.0 | This is an organization that really is fueled by donations. I mean that's a large part of what they do is that they collect donations. |
