And it’s leading to a disaster. And the greatest sufferers are the Ukrainians.” Subscribe for the full interview with Gordon Hahn where he explains the western sabotage of the Ukrainian-Russian peace deal (and the tens of billions of dollars made from its collapse), the struggle to reach the people who believe the US really does care about Ukrainians, and how to end the war.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Useful Idiots. I'm Katie Halper. And I'm Mary Mattik. Hey, everybody.
0:09.8	Thanks for joining us. Remember that we're at Useful Idiots podcast.com. We can go to support
0:15.6	the show and get bonus content. And boy, do you want to get that bonus content? Because people
0:20.2	are absolutely loving our chat with Norman Finkelstein, loving it. It's a hit. It's a real hit.
0:27.9	Yeah, very, you know, he's a polarizing figure. But in the deep in the world of Useful Idiots,
0:33.5	he's certainly beloved. Amen. Well, if Norman is polarizing, then I say bring on the polarization
0:40.8	because I'm a big fan and that was a great discussion we had with him. So I remember that
0:46.0	the people have been pretty yet. And you also, of course, we want to encourage you to give
0:50.7	yourself the gift of exclusive membership, not just for Norman, not just for the very good
0:56.7	interview that you're going to be hearing today, but also for Thursday through our down,
1:01.0	where you get to have even more of us going over media clips. Don't deprive yourself, guys.
1:06.9	Yes. And in this week's Thursday through our down, we have so much madness, including the drama
1:12.0	surrounding the ouster of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and talk of his potential successors,
1:19.3	which includes a guy named Donald J Trump. Yes. The Donald, yeah. Trump is being recruited by

1:34.8	some Ukraine updates. As always, yes. And that's available again at Useful IdiotsPodcast.com.
1:42.2	All righty. Shall we get going with the four basic food groups, Democrats suck,
1:46.2	Republican suck isn't that weird, isn't that terrible? You're on Democrats, Aaron. What do we
1:50.6	got? Yes. Well, so the big drama in Washington this week has been the ouster of House Speaker
