Hello and welcome to Useful Idiots. I'm Katie Halper. And I'm Aaron Metcic. How's it going Aaron?

This is it. This cat's going nuts. Oh yeah. Well, you should tell us about your new cat.

Oh no, no, no, no. What? It's going to badger rather than that.

Save her quick and why don't you show our viewers what you're dealing with. You know, it's funny. Aaron went from advocating the execution of his family cat Lucy to now saving a cat.

Yeah, so basically my parents and they have a new cat named Nutmeg. And if you call Useful Idiots viewers will remember I did advocate the murder of a cat on the show.

My parents previous cat Lucy who was crazy and a threat to them. She put my dad in the hospital because she bid him.

And so this is Nutmeg. They got Nutmeg and she's, you know, she's definitely, she's definitely very energetic and.

And but hopefully just not as violent and crazy as the last cat. Well, you know already like if you had been doing to Lucy, what you're doing to Nutmeg, what would Lucy have done?

Oh, she'd be hissing and scratching and oh yeah, I would never do this to Lucy.

She's so cute and I don't even like cats and she's so cute. She is cute. She is. And let's hope she doesn't threaten my parents.

Of course, we want to remind people to join our substack at Useful Idiots dot substack dot com.

And there's so many reasons to do that. You get extended interviews, but of course you also get our Thursday throwdown, which is your mid week dose of media madness.

And we talk about various media happenings react, we react to video clips media clips. And on this week's Thursday throwdown, we talk about the Twitter files.

All right, so every week we do something called the absurd arena. And that's where if you are a useful idiot and you sign up to subscribe at use flit is that substack dot com.

You get to interact with other use flit is and ask us questions. So this week we have a few questions. Well, so what do we got?

So this week, William, you know, in another useful idiot asks if big tech sensors information and nobody knows about it and the entire mainstream media ignores it. Did it actually happen?

Good philosophical question. It is so interesting how when stories are deemed inconvenient that they're just treated as if they don't exist. And we're going to see that today as we talk more in the Thursday throwdown about the response to Matt Davis reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop, the censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story, where the way it gets discussed.

People who want to basically support the censorship of that story refused to reckon with what the facts of that story actually are and they want to pretend that all that was censored was basically dick picks of Hunter Biden.

But it's not that it's actually that there's a real story there. And on top of the real story of the Hunter Biden laptop is also the censorship of that story, which people also want to ignore. So that is a great question.

I'm going to say it did indeed happen, even if you don't know about it, just like a tree makes a noise, even if you don't hear it.

Wow. That's my blowing that that questions always mind blowing up at the tree falling in the woods.

Okay, what else we got from the absurd arena.
