Biden: Build a 700-Mile Fence to Keep Out the Illegals
If the president is looking to booster his credibility with xenophobes, this clip might help

It’s time for another round of our favorite game: Who Said It: Trump or Biden?

In a newly resurfaced clip from 2006, one of the two current leading 2024 contenders shouts at a group of donors:

“Folks, I voted for a fence. I voted unlike most Democrats, and some people don’t like it, but I voted for a 700-mile fence… and to punish American employers who knowingly violate the law and hire illegals.”

He goes on, further touting his record: “I’m the guy that wrote the national crime bill. I’m the guy that wrote the bill that set up a drug czar… People are driving across that border with tons (tons! hear me tons!) of everything from byproducts of methamphetamine to cocaine to heroin. And it’s all coming up through corrupt Mexico.”

Who said it?

That’s right, it’s Joe Biden! America’s Most Progressive President, as they love to call him, who was allegedly chosen as Obama’s vice president to win over the conservative vote.

But instead of talking about this evidence, corporate media like MSNBC is gabbing away about how Biden doesn’t need to campaign until the general election because he has no opponent. Meanwhile Cornel West, RFK Jr, and Marianne Williamson are all climbing in the polls, sharing much less hateful messages than our Trumpian president.

And that’s not all Katie and Aaron throw down on this week: Putin unveils the brokered peace deal with Ukraine which was squashed by the West, an extra $6.2 billion magically shows up for weapons dealers, Trump describes his crazy phone call with Putin, corporate media suddenly cares about drug addicts when it comes to Hunter Biden, and Russiagate-expert Aaron analyzes John Durham’s terrible testimony before Adam Schiff.

As long as there’s terrible stuff in our media (and it only seems to increase these days), the Useful Idiots are here with your midweek dose of media madness. It’s our Thursday bonus episode. Let us know in the comments what corporate media monologues, interviews, or anything else you want to see on the next Thursday Throwdown.

Sanctions Are a Form of Warfare

“Sanctions are a form of war. They’re economic warfare. And they destroy people’s lives.”

Joshua Landis (https://twitter.com/joshua_landis), Sandra Mackey Chair in Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma, is one of the foremost experts on Syria. This week, as Syria, along with neighbor Turkiye, grapples with the aftermath of the devastating earthquake, Professor Landis joins the Useful Idiots to explain the deadly consequences that sanctions pile on to the damage.

“America likes to talk about all its precision bombing and hitting someone with a drone to avoid collateral damage,” Landis explains. “But sanctions? It’s all about collateral damage. Very little of it is targeted.”

But if you read corporate media outlets like the New York Times or Washington Post, you’d find a much different story. Both papers this week published headlines that were hastily changed when they realized they were being a little too truthful. See if you can tell the difference:

"Shameful" New York Times Changes Headline to Protect Sanctions

Free preview: Matt Taibbi Exposes Russiagate Bots

With Matt Taibbi’s Twitter Files and Jeff Gerth’s new in-depth reporting for CJR exposing the years of lies spread by Russiagaters, bitter attacks from outed journalists are rolling in.

Gerth and Taibbi, who come from the old style of journalism where you fact check your work and don’t accept government officials’ claims on faith, have each shown clear, indisputable evidence of disinformation campaigns pushed by corporate reporters. And since the so-called journalists can’t argue the facts, they dig themselves a deeper hole with more lies and name-calling.

Jeff Gerth has been working as a reporter for decades and published, in the very mainstream Columbia Journalism Review, a 20,000-word report on his findings, only to be called a liar and misdirecting magician in the most self-important article by Mother Jones’ David Corn (“The true media failure is that Trump got away with it and that articles like this one that you are now reading are still necessary.”) And possibly worse ...

Emphasized "Dancing with 88

I have altered space here—   to

a rupture in the silent fabric,

where every atom reclaims its song.

A change, seen on my 90° angle,

becomes the pivot of a daring ballet,

the precise intersection where fate unspools.

In that crisp right-angle lie the secrets

of all absorbed twilight and reborn dawns,

a moment where geometry becomes prophecy,

transmuting static lines into dynamic rhythms,

inviting the cosmos to twirl in unexpected arcs.

And then—

I find myself dancing with 88,

a numeral of resonance, a muse of mystery.

It whispers in binary beats,

each pulse a portal leading into

symphonies scribbled on the canvas of space-time.

This is no choreographed routine,

but a wild, liberated waltz

where dimensions bend and merge—

where the old order crumbles

under the heat of relentless transformation

and every step unearths a layer of being.

At that 90° juncture,

the universe unfolds like a secret map,

revealing uncharted realms in every fracture,

while 88 becomes the score for a cosmic ballet,

Has the Gaza Pier Been Beached? | Army Watercraft come ashore off Gaza and Israel

Washington Post Columnist: "Kill the Iranian Leaders That Don't Want a Deal."
Plus, a Congressional candidate thinks saying "genocide" is as bad as the N-word

“What should happen if the Iranians don’t come to the table after 72 hours?”

This was asked to Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen, author of such lines as “Iran is a death cult running a country,” who has previously campaigned for the use of enhanced interrogation techniques (AKA torture). You know, a real Washington Post type.

His answer: “If there are two factions in Iran, one that wants a deal and one that doesn’t, let’s kill the ones that don’t want a deal.” He pauses to laugh, and continues, “It’s that simple! We’ve killed over 50 Iranian leaders so far, let’s end the ceasefire and finish the job.”

It’s mafia-boss mentality with a war crime twist. When the New Nuremberg Trials begin, remember to add Thiessen to the list of complicit journalists, under T next to Tapper.

Katie and Aaron are all over this, plus about a million other war-crime whispers strewn across corporate media this week: Bill Maher is devastated over Democrats turning on his beloved Israel, former Biden National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan can’t believe anyone (other than himself) would help Israel commit mass murder, a Congressman grossly refers to the US as a “dominant predator,” and more skincrawllers all over mainstream media.

Alan Dershowitz Threatens Trump If He Doesn't Follow Israeli Orders
Plus, "Step Aside!": Chuck Schumer LOSES Dem Support as Israel Opinion Plummets

This week, two lists were published which outed the biggest Zionist tools in US office: one for Republicans and one for Dems, because here in the US we have a bipartisan array of political suckage.

First the Dems: Bernie Sanders introduced a bill in the Senate that would block the sale of bombs to Israel. It failed, in part because of seven Democrats who betrayed their base to side with the AIPAC lobbyists who own them:

 

The list includes arch-Zionist / Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, who, as the the plummeting of Israel’s reputation spreads to the Senate, has begun facing calls from his colleagues to resign in shame.

The second list shows, after years of being called a foreign agent in the pocket of Putin by corporate spokespeople at CNN and MSNBC, that Donald Trump really is a foreign agent. It’s just not the Russians who own him.

 

Of this list of Trump owners, 4 of 5 are Jewish and all are radical Zionists. Which is how Epstein-lawyer Alan Dershowitz has now begun blackmailing the president, saying that Israel will “fight, even if it means confrontation with President Trump. We will take care of Trump. I met with him…and he was very receptive about Iran…and Miriam Adelson has met with him…”

Join Katie and Aaron for a deep dive into the Zionist lobby’s dealings with Trump and greedy Dems, plus Stephen Miller nearly slips up and calls for a “final solution” carried out by Israel, and Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo uses ChatGPT to get some questionable information.

Dana Bash's Obsessive Hatred for Hasan Piker Reveals CNN's Fake Journalism Mentality
Plus, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte defends his 'Daddy' Donald Trump's disastrous war on Iran

Instead of reporting on the US and Israel’s mass assault this week on civilian infrastructure in Iran, Lebanon, and Palestine, CNN’s Dana Bash decided to give a rant about leftist Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, who has been campaigning in Michigan for Democratic Senate candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed.

"Hasan Piker is excusing sexual violence by Hamas terrorists,” claims Bash. “In 2024, he said, quote, ‘It doesn’t matter if f***ing rapes happened on October 7th. Like that doesn’t change the dynamic for me… the Palestinian resistance is not perfect.’”

As you can imagine, Katie and Aaron have a lot to say to this.

First, for the millionth time, Dana, there is no documented evidence of any rape by Hamas on October 7th, let alone the mass rape hoax that you’ve regularly used as atrocity propaganda. If there was, surely you’d have pointed out even a single verified case and broadcast it endlessly on CNN.

What there is documented evidence of, and a lot of it, is the rape and torture of Palestinian prisoners by IDF guards. One such instance was even caught on video and the guards were arrested for their crimes. This led to ‘Right to Rape’ protests across Israel, and the rapists were eventually cleared of all charges by an Israeli court. Has Dana reported this on her show?

She has not.

But second, more to Hasan Piker’s point, is that even if there had been sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas on October 7th, it would not justify committing a genocide against the Palestinian people. This is the law of proportionality under international law.

But Dana Bash clearly thinks otherwise.

Katie and Aaron flash back to a clip from 2023 where Rep. Pramila Jayapal tells Bash that “15,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes, three quarters of whom are women and children.”

“And it’s horrible,” Dana responds. “But you don’t see Israeli soldiers raping Palestinian women.”

Katie and Aaron go all in on Dana Bash’s psychotic Hasan Piker rant, plus we watch Dems Chris Murphy and Chuck Schumer give the worst possible critiques to Trump’s so-called ceasefire deal, Trump’s top economic advisor accidentally admit that this war has been an economic disaster, and the funniest corporate media reaction to Trump claiming that he is going to “destroy Iranian civilization.”

It’s a crazy week on corporate media. Watch with Katie and Aaron to laugh instead of cry at all of it. Thanks for supporting our work, subscribe to watch the full episode here:
