On this week’s episode, Matthew Hoh, a former Marine and USG Official, who resigned from The State Department in protest over Obama’s escalation of the war in Afghanistan, and Army Officer Danny Sjursen, an anti-war author and activist who served multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan expose the over-funded, hypocritical, violent industry from the inside. And they ask an important question:Is there anything we can do about it? Hear their answers. Plus, in this Christmas Eve episode of Useful Idiots, Jen Psaki’s hypocrisy of the week, Republicans with guns, and former model gulping down his own pee.Join our Substack to hear our chat with Matthew and Daniel about the absurdity of Obama’s Nobel Peace prize, Liberal brain worms which prevent people from criticizing Biden, regardless of his policies, and make people reject Trump’s policies regardless of what they are, and how frighteningly close we are to a nuclear winter.Merry Christmas, Happy belated Hanukkah (which came early this year— what’s the deal?), and Joyous Kwanzaa from Useful Idiots.
